on making positive change.

My friend Monica posted this today, and it really resonated with me.

------------------------------

NEVER GIVE UP.

Imagine yourself to be the type of person you want to be, and then be it. You may have to let go of some bad habits and develop some more positive ones, but don't give up - for it is only in trying and persisting that dreams come true.

Expect changes to occur, and realize that the power to make those changes comes from within you. Your thoughts and actions, your choices and decisions, and the way you spend your time will ultimately determine who you are and who you will become.

You are capable and worthy of being and doing anything. You just need the discipline, vision, perseverance and determination to see it through. It won't come instantly, and you may backslide from time to time, but don't let that deter you. Never give up.

Life is an ever - changing process, and nothing is final. Therefore, each moment and every new day is a chance to begin anew.

"Stop worrying so much. I don't remember any of the moments in my life where I worried. Go find your joy. It's not the worry, it's not the what-ifs, it's the joy that stays with you."

When people try to touch my hair, it sends me into a rage. "Oh, it's so pretty! Is it natural? I love your curls!"

GET YOUR HANDS OUTTA MY HAIR, LADY.

Dance it out. That scene was perfection. Of course, I had to include some early Grey's dancing.

“Have some fire. Be unstoppable, be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here, and don’t give a damn what anyone thinks. There are no teams here, no buddies. You’re on your own. Be on your own.”

The Ultimate Warrior

The Ultimate Warrior on Monday during his WWE HOF induction speech stated:

"Every man's heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper in something that's larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized by the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him, and make the running the man did live forever."

Chilling, but so powerful. RIP.

This is how I feel about running.

People are usually good at either swimming or running, but never both. I got that swim gene for sure. #cubanjoke

cubans, fashion and always listening to my grandmother.

My abuela always had a few fashion rules up her sleeve (pun intended), and I realized how closely I follow them:

1. Wrists aren't meant to be shown. Wear some bangles, darling, and announce your presence. 

2. If you insist on dying your hair, insist on touching it up every 8-10 weeks.

3. The more prints, the better. You're Cuban, you can pull it off.

4. On that note, always wear gold. If you wear it in a necklace, wear two.

There’s been significantly less text on the blog these days. I’ve Been focusing more on the pictures of my day, and the snapshots of life in order to keep things lighter, and in order to remember what’s really good. As a whole, I’m a ‘see-it-to-believe-it’ person and with a visual record I can...
