27. Writer. Photographer. Life is a beautiful adventure of seeking God and knowing Him more. Winter is especially capturing my heart right now. I love wearing big furry-hooded coats and colorful mittens to play in the snow. Thankful for grace.
Learning the hard way
I have to learn the hard way. I try, I try so hard to learn the easy way. I read, I read a lot, ask the kids who asked me what I was reading on the beach yesterday and if it was The Notebook to which I awkwardly replied… no… it’s nonfiction. I like books…
Never too late
When I started training for dance at the age of 21, most people told me it was too late. Too late for what? Five years later, dance is my full-time profession. Between teaching classes, working at a studio, studying choreography, being involved in my own developmental classes and peer dance groups. I spend an average…
Consider NOT partying in the Mariscal
Alright, send the hate mail in. I’m ready. Friends. Readers. People I’ve never met. When I did research about Quito, and when I meet foreigners visiting Quito, all I hear about is one thing – the Mariscal. “Yeah, we heard you should check out the Mariscal,” “The Mariscal is so dangerous,” “The Mariscal is where…
Stay safe abroad
“Aren’t you afraid of getting taken?” Um…. no. Don’t worry, if you asked me that question, I’m not specifically writing about you because I’ve been asked it more times than I can count. Y’all need to stop watching T.V. or something. Before I sound too rude, let me explain that danger is a real thing….
Noemí’s travel tip – Find the live music
I learn a lot from the people I travel with. One of my favorite travel buddies? Noemí. Flexible, fun, always put-together and beautiful, and she is a magnet for live music. We would always try to find a restaurant at the end of the day that had live music. And let me tell you, it…
The gym sucks
Okay, can I just admit something? Going to the gym sucks. What’s crazy is, I’ve always lovedddd going to the gym. I love the environment, the people, the music, the adrenaline or endorphins or whatever good feeling my body produces. I love to sweat. However, I was always the girl who only stuck out a…
Mo’ Money Mo’ Problems
I had no idea where the phrase came from “More money more problems” but I looked it up… Apparently it’s a song by the rapper B.I.G. (love him) (love rappers). Which, according to my book Rich Dad Poor Dad, can be very true. The answer in life is not more money. See, we all think…
Adventures at home: Financial Literacy Part 2
Which leads me to my next point. The second hurdle comes down to our ability to admit that maybe we’ve been wrong. The second hurdle comes down to our ability to admit that maybe we’ve been wrong. As adults, it’s hard to accept that reality. If I said, hey, instead of selling your soul at…
Adventures at home: Financial Literacy
I never cared about money. My goal was never to be a millionaire, to have the nicest things, none of that. Money struck me as essential, and that the more you have the more options you have, so I wanted enough to…. *cough* travel. I was reading a book the other day that basically said:…
