Blue Sky
Look up to the beautiful blue sky
Hold on, it’s only a wrinkle in time
It’s a blessing, let your faith soar high
Live in the moment, it’s sublime
PATIENCE
Faith over fear, day by day
You want to run, but life derails
May God’s grace lead your way
Patience, my dear

Woman of Color, of Strength, Lead us….
As Latina women, we are not given much of a safe place in our community to speak the truth….tell our stories…share our pain, our struggles, so that the next generation will not repeat it.
We are told to put our heads down or turn away, to be stronger…
Yet we are raised by strong women: grandmothers, mothers, aunts, sisters, girlfriends, etc.
We are taught that our value as a woman is by default to be a wife and caretaker… which is a beautiful thing.
However, not all follow this path…be it by choice or circumstances.
To be a woman is not to be labeled, to be set by boundaries, to be held by standards, it’s to live and love the body and person who you were created to be.
As women, we are to live in a way that builds us and our communities, our younger generation, to be a positive role model. To share our stories, to guide them, protect them. To live in faith and love.
~ “No! I won’t be defined by your statistics.
Labeled by a standard, but by who?
Woman, Stand up! Speak up!
Woman of color, of strength….
Lead us…” ~ S 2020
Reflections
On January 1st, as always, I write my in my prayer journal, and I ask God to help me fulfill my life in my path for whatever is in my heart’s desire/passion/purpose, to guide me. I’ve read through my last three years…my January 1st(s)…and from 2018 …I’m asking God to push me to my destiny….help me move forward with my life’s goals and dreams..In 2019…I’m asking God to bring the right people into my life…to love myself in the middle of the storm I was going through in that time period….
And 2020…I asked for guidance…to find purpose in my poetry….to be more patient and understanding…to have an open heart….and my special prayer for my family and friends for 2020…
Today, in this moment, 2020 has been a blessing in disguise, I’ve found my love in many areas of my life through my passion for writing poetry, traveling alone, seeing new places, crossing paths with a special friend,
studying Creative Writing, working on a special project, connecting with other talented souls, poets, and writers…
I am where I need to be, even if it seems like it’s a storm…. It’s only a season, I made through the last two years….and this year… it’s becoming…I’m becoming…my Vision Board…my story…my voice…no longer in the shadows of my journals….
Live your life! Enjoy the moments when you laugh, when you feel alive 💫 Share your story…be a light to someone else… support your friends and family, love them, be love.
I AM –
– S ❤️

And the Journey begins…
Seeing the possibilities beyond the set backs can be somewhat frustrating. Recently I had my work hours reduced. So many thoughts raced my mind when I was told of my new work schedule. But, I had a overwhelming feeling of peace about my new work schedule. I was happy-A door was opening for me to focus on my personal/educational goals. I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Every person we cross path with- be it for a short period or for a lifetime it was destined to happen. We learn from every event and every person we meet. It’s not until we have passed those moments in time that we become grateful for the experience gained or lesson learned. I know this too is an opporunithy for me to embrace and make the best of it.
I’m looking forward to this extra time I have been given. Starting this blog is the beginning of my passion filled journey of investing in myself as a mentor and leader. My hopes are to be able to help and encourage those in need of self-growth and help them find their passion too. I too will be learning and growing-as blogging is new to me. And the journey continues…
