It’s been a bittersweet beginning for me in 2012. I’m excited for the New Year and the new beginnings but I’m also saddened for a very dear family friend of mine. On December 31st, my close friend’s sister-in-law was shot and killed while standing outside of a New Year’s Eve house party. There was no motive for the crime and no witnesses. Sadly, her brother was the one who discovered her dying body in the street when he came to pick … Read more →

In just one week’s time, one of my best friends will marry my cousin, who is like a brother to me. Words can’t explain how happy I am for them and how great it feels to know that I somehow brought them together. I may not have been blessed with sisters or a ton of friends, but I have been blessed with a small number of GREAT friends, who have made it through roller coaster rides, stupid spats, catty fights, tears, … Read more →

"He Doesn't Have Any Red Flags…It's His Friends Who Do!" (A Guest Blog From Lina)

So, here’s a new one on me. I have been talking to the coolest guy. We enjoy each other’s company and really like each other. However, his friends are a major turn off. Of the ones I hear so much about: one stole from him, one couple is so drunk and drugged up all the time that they recently ‘lost track’ of their small child and the cops had to step in. The kid is ok, but now in temporary custody … Read more →

“When You Lose A Sister-In-Law & A Friend” (A FB Guest Blog From Jackie)

My grandmother could have starred in her own reality TV show: she had 12 kids. Growing up they were all pretty close. Now as adults, though, most of them do not even talk to each other. It’s different with my brother and me. It’s just the two of us and we were not raised together for the most part. When I was 12-years-old and he was 8, my parents split up. My dad ended up with my brother and I ended … Read more →

Being single has been a good thing for me in my life right now. I can honestly say that I am in a good place in my life and that I’m truly happy…for as the saying goes, “Mejor sola que mal acompanada!” The saying is very true! At least for me it has been. Well, since I’ve been single I have been making time to do things with my amigas and have an occasional girls night out. Even though I have … Read more →

I have a friend who I have known for over 10 years. Actually, we are more like sisters than friends. If you’ve read my blogs before you may have read the one about this same friend being pregnant. You also would have read that her daughter was expected to be born with a heart problem; the doctors told her that the baby was going to need heart surgery. Well, she had her baby on March 18th! She is an amazing and … Read more →

Parenting My Way (Crystal R’s Blog)

I have a lot on my mind today. I’ve been upset with my sister because I’ve texted her, called her, left messages for her on Facebook along with my daughter, and no response for 2 weeks – but yet she can message complete strangers. I was hurt by the situation and said something to her about it. So in response my sister’s husband sent me a txt (not a call because that would take guts that he don’t have.) So anyway, … Read more →

So I have a million dollar question……why are we women in general not just us Latina’s but all the women so Jealous of one another??? Seriously we all are beautiful and smart women in our own way. We women each have a special talent that makes us unique. I’m so sick and tired of hearing women put one another down instead we should be doing what we can to help each other succeed in life. The men in this world surely … Read more →
