Thankful and Blessed

As I sit here and reflect on the things that I'm thankful for this year, two major things come to mind: Health and family. 

This year was a test for trials for me and I am surer of myself that I have grown as a person for them.  It all started with my own health situations that happened to me earlier this year.  I had to learn to take charge of my diet and exercise which has been a long process and I'm still working on it.  

My mom went through a major brain surgery procedure and came out of it.  Seeing my mom prepare for the surgery was both frightening and empowering.  Her faith carried her through the whole thing and I see my mom differently.  She's a living superhero! 

All of these situations brought me closer to my family.  Having my mom gone through something so major, made all of us realize how important family truly is.  Even though my siblings and I are grown and we all have our separate lives with our own responsibilities, it is proof that whatever happens, we stick together and we help each other get through it. 

 And for that, I am very grateful for the parents I have who love and encourage me in the things that I do.  For the kind of life I have. And for the dreams and goals, I want to see accomplished in my lifetime. I am truly blessed and very fortunate. 

 I hope this holiday season finds you well and inspires you to do and be more than you ever dreamed possible. 

 Thanks for reading, 
Mayra :)

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.

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.
