I love tiny houses!

It's official! I'm obsessed with tiny houses. Why?  I have no idea.  Is it their compact organizational spaces? I have been drawn to how other people live in tiny spaces for a couple of months now.  At first, I thought I was just looking at genius sheds in people's backyards, transformed into a hideaway, such as a reading room, a home office, a man-cave, or a nice retreat from their main houses.  But no, those tiny houses got to me and I have to tell you why. 


1. I'm amazed how people can live in such a small space.  But it's no surprise when in cities all over the world people already live this way: New York City is one of them, even Hong Kong, and many places in Japan and other European cities. The truth is, it's not a matter of not wanting to have a bigger place; it's more of the fact that only nooks and crannies are available in their cities.

2. I'm fascinated with how much stuff people living in tiny homes actually have.  Their organization techniques are brilliant and I'm in awestruck of them.  It makes me want to downsize my stuff and live a more organized life.  

3. People living in tiny houses also have something they have in common--they are happy with their lives living in a small space.  It makes sense when you think about it: the smaller the living space, the less stuff you have, and therefore, their level of stress is minimized. They are happy living this way.

Maybe one day, I'll be able to live in a tiny home and enjoy its benefits. But for now, I don't mind the space I currently have. 

Thanks for reading!

Seeing the light

I'm sure you've heard of stories about other people having near death experiences they encounter when they find themselves in very dangerous situations.  I was watching a program as part of the Super Soul Sunday series of comedian Tracy Morgan talk about the accident that almost took his life about a year and half ago which happened on his drive home after doing a comedy show.  He talks about seeing his deceased father coming to him and telling him that he wasn't ready for him yet.  It made me think of my near death experience I had in high school. 

New Year's Eve Hispanic Traditions

I seriously believe that every culture has some very interesting ways of welcoming the New Year.  I grew up in a Mexican household in the United States, so I got the best of both worlds. I do have to say, that we have some every fun and creative ways to welcome the New Year: 

Confessions of a newly single woman

It's not easy living life when your heart is broken. People say that no one dies from a broken heart but I will say, it sure makes life more difficult.  I had my relationship with my boyfriend of over a year recently end and the pain is very much present.  For reasons that were out of my control and looking back, I can only hope that he let me go because he really truly loved me and wants me to live a happy life even if it's without him. On some days, I wake up with him on my mind often wonder if he  still thinks of me, if he misses me or wonders if I'm doing well or not. These days are definitely my bad days.
