Today I Buried My Mother | Latina On a Mission Today I Buried My Mother | Latina On a Mission

Today I buried my Mother. It was an emotional day. Memories of days gone by, full of bendiciones/blessings, countless hours baking, cooking, laughing in the kitchen, filled my head.

Run. Jump. Squat. Repeat! Run. Jump. Squat. Repeat! BREATHE. The past few weeks have been intense as a Lucille Roberts Ambassador. My body has done things it hasn't done in ages. Honestly, after my first training session with my Lucille Roberts' Trainer, I didn't think I would make it. I was bright red, gasping for [...]

This week I met gratitude face to face. In the middle of a chaotic week, I learned I had more to offer when I had nothing to give. Like most women, I am constantly juggling my time to accomplish as much as possible in a 24 hour day. I make to do lists, trying to squeeze in [...]
