Empowering One Another

My latest posts have been created by yours truly, I wanted to share some words for those women that at times need to be reminded that they are strong and beautiful that even with the struggles that we are facing we can get through them regardless of the challenge. These women that I have chosen to share my feelings to are going through their own challenges and they needed to be reminded that they got this and that they are stronger then they think. 

The last post that i posted is for my rock, the one that reminds me that I am going to achieve anything that i can accomplish and that one that hold me when i feel that I am going to fall and the one that has by back when I need someone to hold me up. To the man that I thought that I once lost, to the best friend that I thought I no longer had, to my best friend that I get to now call my husband. Babe Know that I Love You To Th Moon And Back.

[mariflores9487]

Babe: dear oh dear. I have to say that i love you to the moon and back. I have to say that you are the one person that I do not have to ask to hold it down for me. You have been next to me in some of my toughest moments. Moments that i never thought that I would have to experience. I thought that our ride was going to be smooth and clear, but i guess it has not been easy, or smooth for that matter but we have managed to get through those moments, and we have also learned from every single one of those times. I have to tell you that I love you more then i ever thought possible. You are my rock, my motivation to move forward and pursue my dreams and goals. I cannot deny that there are times that you and i cannot tolerate one another but you always manage to surprise me. Knowingly that i don’t need you and you don’t need me is great. Because that only leaves room too me wanting you it’s me and you confirming that you want me with you. You and I are able to be the greatest to each of our families but we are a great team together a team that supports one another in the time of need with each other’s family. You have grounded me to my root and has shown me that life can gives us surprises. When we thought that we wouldn’t longer be together, life decided that we are greater together then apart. That what we can have is much more bigger then what we ever imagined. Baby i love you and I love you to the moon and back, there is no where in this world that i rather be then by your side. I want to be able to grow old with you and live a life with no regret. I hope that you know that I will have your back no matter what, that I will hold you up when you feel that you are going to fall, I will fight the battles with you and not against you, I will be holding you up when you feel that you can no longer keep it together. You are my knight in shining armor. I will always support your goals and dreams as you have supported mine. Baby never forget that I love you to the moon and back, and that I love you more then words can ever say and express. You are my best friend and I love that I got to marry my best friend.

Mano, Mana, Nana, Nathali, geesss what can I tell you my beautiful daughter. from the moment you were born i knew that you were different that you were going to rock my world. Nana you have lived and have experienced so much that a young lady at your age should have never lived through or should have had thought of and took action to your feelings and thoughts. Mamita life is not easy it is hard and everyone in this world lives in their own mind and create a world of chaos. Sadly not a lot people enjoy their own chaos that they create themselves. Know that the chaos that you have created in your mind can easily disappear and can be tolerated. Know that you do inspire others regardless because you have lived though moments that a lot of people cannot lived through. You have accepted a bit of what this world has thrown at you, you have not settled for the bullshit and you do speak your mind that at times can get you in trouble or you speak your thoughts and to that I have to say that I admire. I do speak my mind and I do say what I feel but I don’t say it exactly how i think it, because I have experience that not everyone can tolerate my opinion or my input, but you are very care free and you just do not care for what people think about you, you say it how it should. Nana my baby girl know that i love you and that i am very proud of you, you have been able to express your person and you don’t let someone else’s thought about you stop you. You have accepted that you are different and you love it. And I love that you are different and that you love it yourself I could not be prouder of you. You have shown light to some taboos that was hard to break and end here at home, you have been able to tell the world, “move I’m coming through”. You inspire others let me tell you the free spirit that you have become and the sensible person that you are. You love the world and you want to fix it but know that even when that is a challenge and that it does seem impossible you can start to fix it little by little. You are a rock star and know that there isn’t anything that you cannot accomplish. You are strong and beautiful and you can walk this world and help people understand and have them see your point of view if you set yourself to do it. Know that I love your love for the world, i love that you love everyone and that you love everyone that needs to be loved. I admire your admiration for others, and the care you put to trying to care fo those who need it. I love that you are smart and you think that you are not. Know that you are a shining star and there is nothing that you cannot complete. Nana I am very proud of you know that. And know that I love you to the moon and back. Know that you are my rock, that you are the one that gives me my reality checks when i need them. Know that you are my role model as well. I love you baby girl there is nothing that you cannot accomplish, you can conquer the world.

Natali: Niña hermosa. No need to feel or think that you are left out. Let me tell you that you are a strong beautiful lady. You have two great role models, your mom and your sister Shenayine. No need to feel left out or to think that you are not validated. Let me tell you that I admire the compassion that you carry, the love that you share and the understanding that you give. Not everyone has all those qualities at your age. You have those because it is in your nature. You are a beautiful person, you are a young lady that can and will accomplish plenty, no need to stress or worry because you are a young lady that will tell the world “Quítate que ay te Voy” you will set the world straight if not the entire world but someone’s world you will. You are part of family that pushes you to be the best you can be. You are part of a group of friends that care so much for you and that you inspire. Not everyone can kill people with kindness, not everyone call shut people down in a way that can be inspiring to change. You are the young lady of change, you help people see that anyone can change to the better of their abilities. You are one that can move and has inspired people to become better. My beautiful young lady never settle as you have now, you can aspire to be the first of anything, any challenge that you can think of you can be the first to be the inventor of anything, the first to find a cure for anything you set your mind to. You are smart and intelligent, you are strong and wonderful. You are beautiful inside and out. Natali, know that you have become a role model to younger girls you are a star of sunshine to some that are lost in the darkness. Do not allow anyone dim down your brightness. You can do anything that you set yourself to do so make sure that you aim for the stars in that one universe that you can discover yourself. Aim for the best and never settle for anything that you do not want or need. Always keep moving forward and push to be the best of anything you set your mind to do. You are strong and beautiful and the world is your playground.

[mariflores9487]

Shenayine: Girl what can I tell you!!! You are beyond anyone I know. You are a beautiful strong and inspiring person. Girl I know that I am not blood related and that I might not even cross your mind as a person to rely on but know that i hold you high and i have to tell you that I admire you so much. Not everyone will be able to go through what you have gone through and what you are going through not everyone has that will or that strength. Girl i admire you so much and I care for you so much, i honestly can say that I have been wanting to write you a letter or write you some inspiring words to share with you to let you know that you are strong and beautiful and very inspiring. You hold down yourself but you are also your mothers rock. Know that but you are other peoples rock as well. Because without you and your hard will to move on not a lot of us will be able to move forward without you. You are a young girl that should be recognized as a powerful beautiful human being. Wait... I think you are recognized by couple of people. Shenayine: you to me is a motivation to continue to pursue my career because i want to be that rock that you might need in your time of need, when you feel that you can’t move on or move forward I want to be part of that support system for you and possibly for others that are going through what you are going through. I want to be able to share your story and tell others if this young girl was able to do it, so can they, if this young beautiful lady went above and beyond to get her way, they can do it too. If this Powerful woman was able to move others so can they. You impact others and you may not see it or believe it but Shenayine you do. You move me, you impact my life, you are someone’s role model people look up to you for strength and motivation. you have those and many more qualities that a lot of us know you can hold back. Know that it is okay to take a break and cry out the frustrations, and the fears but know that while you are taking a break some of us are fighting some of those fights to clear your path, and some of us are standing next to you so that you don’t fall, some of us are next to you holding you up so that you don’t slide down. Know that you are beautiful and strong and maybe my words are not a lot but know that I love you and I admire you so much. Know that you are a fighter and that i will have your back when you ask (and when you don’t). Know that even when I am not your blood family i love you as my own family. You are a true inspiration and no matter what the path that you are on happens you can be and do so much more, you are not one to give up you finds way to always do and be the best of the best in whatever you are challenged with. Not everyone can move on or see the challenges and actually pursue them. I admire you and you admire so many of us so my beautiful young lady keep pushing and never let anything stop you or dim your light. No one will ever be able to no matter what, a lot of us will not let you forget the amazing person that you are.

[mariflores9487]

Tejeda: you and I have so much of a similar story but that does not mean that your story or the life that you lived has not been a struggle. You know that no matter what and no matter the struggles that life throws at us we always manage to get through it. To say the least you have managed to to pick yourself up through moments that are not easy to get up from. I know that you struggle with so many inner thoughts and struggle with others (family) expectations but know that you are a powerful person and that you can change peoples minds and have them understand if you decide to live outside your head. Just like i had mentioned before our greatest enemy is oneself. Your enemy is you. But your best friend is also you, your biggest critic is yourself.  You have come so far to let anyone push you down, you have created a better version of yourself. Let me tell you that YOU are a great mother, a great daughter, a great sister and not to mention a great friend, you and I have created a friendship like one that i will never trade for anything. You and I are one of a kind. We are crazy and insane but our craziness and our insanity is what keeps us going. I know that it is not easy to see what i see, but you are remarkable person you are a strong women. You are are a great friend, and let me tell you that i cannot be prouder of all that you have accomplished within yourself. You have come a long way, you have created a women that you thought you were never going to be able to be. Your daughter and son are a blessing and they have a mother like no other. You are a mother that will turn the world for her kids. You are a great friend a friend that I do not see having without. Know that when you feel weak or when you feel that you can no longer hold it together i got you, I will help you piece i together and hold it down, help you get back up and push you to continue the journey that you want. Like the song says, “you got a friend in me”. I love you my dear friend never forget that you are strong and you have the world to conquer with your two by four’s.

Bernabe: I have to tell you that I admire you as a woman, mother, person and I am blessed to have you as my friend. I have meet plenty of people and you are one that not only gives your time to know and help people but you genuinely care for others a bit more then you should. Not a lot of people are genuine about the feelings that they share or say they have towards others. Maria you are someone that I admire plenty and I know that you have been through so much and yet you still continue to go through so much that you are still able to hold it together, but i know that there are days that you do fall apart and put a strong face and try to stand on your own, but know that you do not have to stand on your own. You have a lot of people that care for you and that are genuinely interested to hold it down with you and help you stand even stronger then what you are now. Bernabe know that I love you and that you have me and others that will help you through those tough moments that you are currently going through. Know that you are not alone. Know that not everyone is as tough as you, not everyone will be able to go day by day the way you have done.

[mariflores9487]

Ayana: Where can I start. Let me tell you a story that you might hear so often but sometimes you might listen more if you hear it from someone that is not in your inner circle. Back in March I got to meet your mother and your mother made a BIG impression on me. Yes your mom gave me the Bitch vibe, and she is a bitch but she is one because she has lived through some stuff that a lot of us can relate and some of us questioned why we had to live through those experiences or what did we do to go through those moments. Let me tell you that your mom made sure that she shined your light to everyone that befriended her. She made sure that she praised you to everyone, she made sure she screamed how proud she is of you and your brother. She speaks highly of both of you, but today I want to focus on you. Ayana, not everyone can say that their parents praises them like your mom, or cares for them like she does, but you can. She bends over backwards for you to make sure that you prosper and that your light shines and she makes sure that everyone sees your light. Ayana, you are a strong woman, not a girl but a strong woman because you have lived through moments that you should of never lived through or gone through as well, that makes you strong. You are a very smart young beautiful woman. in your academic path you are super smart and you have accepted a tough challenge that you even thought that you were never going to be able to go through and you have proved us all wrong (3 years and going to your 4th). Accept all those challenges because once you are through these 4 years trust me when I tell you, you are more prepared to face the challenges that are going to be presented to you once you start your college/university experience. As your personal growth you are super mature for your age, and not a lot of people in your generation are let me just say, a lot of that generation has lost themselves in the every day shenanigans. You have not allowed yourself to lose yourself in the everyday chatter, and or bullshit of everyday life. Your personal growth is inspiring because you were raised by a very very tough cookie, one that continues to challenge you and push you to be the very best, one that will continue to push you to strive and reach for the stars (*as cliche as it may sound) all your mother is looking for is to push you to a better future to that of the one that we had to struggle. She is showing you that you should not expect anything from anyone that that you don’t need anyone to be the greatest that you can be. She is teaching you that you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to no matter what it is. Do not get me wrong sometimes it is tiring and stressful what we go through but, all these struggles and challenges is what makes us stronger, and believe it or not those challenges and struggles teaches us what we want and what we don’t want, what we would like and what we won’t like. these challenges gives us the extra layer of skin that we need to tolerate all the bullshit of everyday. Know that you are your mothers role model. Even when you might not believe it but you are your mothers role model, you have taught her a lot and you are going to continue to teach here so many new things, you have taught her how to be a better person, and what she wants out of this world. She is a tough person to mold and to sometimes understand but understand that life has hit her plenty and a lot of those hits she took so that you or your brother won’t take them or see them, or experience them. She is a tough person because YOU taught her to be one. You are admirable, you are encouraging and you are strong and beautiful never forget that you are your mothers daughter and that you are the world to her. She hears you and listens to you more than you know. Continue to be the role model for her, but for a lot of us as well, break those tabus that need to be broken, and teach others what you have learned. Stretch your hand to another woman in need when the time comes, shine your light and share a bit of your light to those of us that at times lose your light. Remind us why we continue to pursue our goals and dreams. Smile and laugh because those two are contagious and that is a good virus to get sick of. Be the inspiration for those other young women that need inspiration. Your mom and I (even you might not care) are very very proud of you.

Hi my name is Maritza Flores and I am 28 years old as of today Tuesday, March 29, 2016. I am Brown and Proud, I have Aztec, Mayan & possibly Inca blood running through my veins. I wanted to try something different because I am different. I was brought up in this world not by choice but by chance. You see I didn't ask to be conceived or to be born to this world, to this life. I mean what baby, child, teen, young adult, adult, senior wants to be live in or be brought to a world that fears their own shadow. I didn't ask for my parents to bring me to a world that I have to question who I am at eight years old-instead of playing with dolls. I didn't ask for my parents to raise me in a world full of ignorance where people tell you to love yourself, to respect yourself, to accept yourself-but turn around and judge who you turn out to be. I didn't ask for my parents to raise me in a world full of doubt were people demand freedom and conformed themselves to have freedoms just because a little piece of paper claims you have freedom but you turn around to voice your thoughts, your opinion, your needs and you are shut down some even die for speaking out of term. I didn't Ask my parents to bring me to this world were we are judged by our appearance. Organizations, Corporations, Companies, Industries, state that they don't judge or discriminate - but why won't they hire me? Is it because I am Latina or because I am Hispanic? Can it be because I am Brown & not white? Is it because I'm big and or over weight and not skinny & fit? Can it be because of the ink I have on my skin? Or the piercings I have? I have the skills, the qualifications, I speak clearly, respectfully, I am bilingual, I am a U.S citizen, I have knowledge in computers, I am a quick learner, I type pretty fast. I am furthering my education, I mean why not hire me? I didn't ask my parent to bring me to this world were right from wrong is not well explained. I mean I have not broken any law, or field untruthful information, but I am not being helped or assisted, but them who have cheated the system get twice the help & the benefits. So what's right and what's wrong? I didn't ask my parents to be part of this world were I wasn't able to be who I really wanted to be. You see even earn I didn't ask to be part o this weird world, I am here and I make of it what I can. I have my mother's personality and my father's attitude, but I have neither's mentality. You see I had my first born when I was just getting the hang of being in a relationship. I was young and looking for a way out, I was tired of being blamed on, getting more confused, of being the one that was irresponsible. At fifteen my son was born and he became the center of my world, but then I started to think I don't want him to ever feel how I felt when I was growing up-so I thought that having more open conversations can help. By sixteen I was turning into a predictable statistic. Married into a system where where I completely lost who I truly was and had no self mind. By seventeen my second child was born and my thoughts started to surface again-I don't want my children to grow up confused or ignorant like the rest of the world. You see even when I didn't ask my parents to be in or part of this world neither did my own children. Therefore, my name Maritza Flores, I am 28 years old as of today Tuesday, March 28, 2016. I probably have Aztec, Mayan, and possible Inca blood running through my veins. I am a proud daughter to two great parents who fought & worked hard to put food, clothes and keep a roof over me, I am also a sister to an older sister and a a sister to a younger brother. I am also an aunt to four beautiful girls and an aunt to a handsome nephew. To leave the best for last I am also a mother to a very smart, polite young man, who I know now that will forever be my knight and will never leave me or abandoned me, I am also a mother to a gorgeous young lady who has taught me that patience is a true virtue. Last but not least I am a woman who has fought hard for being who I am today, strong, beautiful-think, smart, respectful, confident, open minded, honest Latina who is true to myself. You see even when I didn't ask my parents to be part of a cold-cruel world I am here and I intend to make it more warmer and loving place if not the world but to whom are part of my world.

“The Queen’s King”

While there is a saying that, 'A King will always have his Queens back' I can say, "This Queen will always Have her King's back." No matter where my King is-where We are in the world, I will always Have his back. The King that is by my side knows That his struggles are my struggles. The King that is by my side knows That his worries are my worries. The King that is by my side knows That his pain is my pain. The King that is by my side knows That he is not alone, that I am here For him and he will never be alone, that His Queen will always have and watch His back. No matter the situation or the circumstance That her King is in-his Queen will Be by his side.

Written by: Maritza Flores 05/04/15 With a special Dedication to my King Babe this one is for you. I Love You!!

[mariflores9487]

I Promise..

At almost two months of making it official I can say that I am so looking for the next two months, for the next two years, For the next two decades, I am looking forward for the "US" I am so looking forward for what the future holds for us. As long as we are together and its still a "we" I really don't care for the rest. As long as we are fighting the fight together I can take anything. I have been waiting patiently for this day to come. I have been waiting for almost six years. Now that I have it I am going to fight for it to last. I am going to make sure that it stays a 'forever thing' I am going to make sure that we have what others want, communication, trust, Love, respect, trust, confidence. I am going to make sure that no one comes in between us. I am not going to just sit around and see what happens around us, I am going to make sure that we make our worlds move around. I have to say the past almost six years, I have been in pain, and my hopes always had a way to get higher every time that you were around me. I had my hopes that we would finally be together. In the past almost six years I always tried to maintain composure around you. I didn't want to hint you off that I still loved you, I didn't tell you I loved you because I was too afraid that you will blow me off. I was too afraid that you would shut me down. I was too scared that you didn't feel the same way. But today, I am not afraid to tell you that I love you Today I am not afraid to show you how much I love you Today I am fighting for our love to remain and to stay alive I don't want our relationship to be boring, or to have a routine, I want our relationship to have excitement, to have weirdness, to have laughter, smiles, Tears of joy and sadness too (to keep it balanced). I want our relationship to last, I want people to turn around and to look at us and think and say that we are a crazy couple but over all I want them to see and to feel the love that we have for each other. Baby what can I tell you I love every single moment that we are together. I love when I am with you, I love that we can just talk and not worry what we are talking about because we have that type of communication with each other. I love but I hate that you start to tell me something but you can never finish what you started telling me. I hate that you do that, but I love that you can just tell me exactly what's on your mind. I love when we are at your house, and we talk, and make plans about us. Or how about when we go up the stairs and you just gotta do what you do. You know what I'm talking about. I love you more than words can ever express, I love you more than I ever thought I would ever love anyone. I love you. The one thing that I can and will tell you is that I am forever happy that you decided to tell me what and how you felt for me. I am very happy that you told me on time, I am happy that I am with you. I am going to be there for you when you need me, I am going to tell you what I will do for you, I promise that I will be there when you just want me there I promise to make the best out of every bad situation I promise to lift you up when you fall I promise to be your wall when you need to lean on someone I promise to make you happy I promise to make you laugh I promise to motivate you when you need motivation I promise to help you become the man you still want to be I promise to hold your hand I promise to wipe your tears I promise to help you out in any way that I can I promise to have your back I promise to stand next to you in any situation I promise that I will never leave your side I promise to fight along side you I promise to never bring you down I promise to never hold you down I promise to never make you doubt me I promise to trust you I promise to love you I promise to respect you I promise to confide in you I promise to be honest I promise to always be me I promise to always compromise with you I promise that I will put 1000% of me for us to work. Baby all I want is for us to be together. I told you the other day, I don't care where we are as long as we are together, that is all I want and care for. To me it's not about the quantity of time, or money spent, To me its all about the quality of time we spent together. Its all about the company, who I am sharing my success with. I have chosen to share all my success with you, I have decided to stand next to you, I have decided that I will not instigate you. I want us to have the type of relationship that others can envy, but not that bad envy, that good envy. I want us to provide the best to our kids. I want us to be the best parents to our kids. I will never try to take youth kids mother's place, the best I have for them is to be their friend, to be a good ear for them, I want them to know that they can trust me, that I am here for them just like I am for you. I know that I will never win the war between your kids and me, and I never intent to start such a thing. I don't want to never make you choose between your kids and me. Never!! I never what that to be done to me, and I know that you will never put me in that type of situation, or position. I know that you have grown to like my kids, as much as my kids have grown to like you and to respect you. Baby I promise to love you forever.
