Fluffy Fluffy Happy Puppy

I caught my husband song singing this phrase this Zach one winter morning. His fur was all wet and cold from the rain so he was asking for a rub down. The amount of love these two have for each other is unbelievable especially since they were total strangers two years and a month ago. […]

El problema de ser escritor…

Al final del día, para mí el problema mayor de ser escritor es no poder contar una buena historia por miedo a quemar puentes. Tener que autocensurarme para no ofender a nadie toma demasiada energía y le quita potencia al sentimiento detrás de cada oración que las musas me envían. Quisiera tener la valentía y […]

Being Stood Up

I was the product of an affair, of a relationship that no one ever thought would last long. For as long as I can remember, people would tell me how I should have never been born a contradiction that always amazed me since most of my family is Roman Catholic. In school, I would overhear […]

Goodreads Challenge, 2016, 2017 and beyond!

Seems like it was only yesterday when I started to blog about the books and hobbies I embarked on as my 30s moved along. In 2015, I managed to read 55 books and by 2016 I had adjusted that number to 60, then up to 100. I am honestly not certain that I hit the […]

Merry Pitmas, 2017!

This is Zach’s third holiday season with us and we couldn’t be happier to have given him a home. He moved in on December 12, 2015 and managed to put up with a small yard, us, a big move, and currently our MBA schedule. We worked through his many reactions and health/behavior issues as newbie […]

Navidades Post María

Salgo de Hato Rey con un cuarto de tanque de gasolina, suficiente para llegar a Carolina y virar par de veces. La E de Empty es una sugerencia, y todo buen Boricua sabe que hay par de millas más despúes de que la flecha pase de la marca. Los semáforos a veces funcionan, a veces […]

My New Travel Bag
