I did it, I finished the 30-Day Core Challenge on Apple Fitness! When I started the challenge I imagined myself hating the core workouts after one or two weeks but it wasn’t really the struggle I thought it would be. I’m not saying it’s easy, the first week was very difficult and holding a plank … Continue reading 30-Day Core Challenge – Done!

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write.
I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer.
I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book.
Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
I made it halfway into the 30-Day Core Challenge! I have been following it religiously and haven’t skipped a day, not even on weekends when I usually don’t workout. I thought I was going to be tired of this pretty soon after starting but that has not been the case. These workouts are short and … Continue reading Halfway through the 30-Day Core Challenge
I had my 6 month appointment with my neurologist today, and just like for the last eight years, everything was fine with my epilepsy. His first question was the same as always, any seizures? And my answer was also the same as in the past, no! When I told him about my new job, I … Continue reading Another successful visit to the neurologist
I’m very happy to say the year is starting off well for me; only nine days into the year I got a new job. I was a very surprised when I received a call for my employer just minutes after my interview, I immediately thought something was wrong. It was the complete opposite, he told … Continue reading New year, new job!
I try to workout five days a week every week and that has become a normal routine for me. I have now been trying to squeeze in two different workouts when I have the time, one of the strength, HIIT, Pilates, Lickboxing or Yoga and then either use the stationary bike for anything between 10 … Continue reading 30-Day Core Challenge
As we celebrate Three King’s Day today, my family can’t help but make fun of me for the stress and fear this used to cause me when I was growing up. During this holiday, the tradition is that the three kings who brought gifts to Jesus after his birth, bring children presents. The three kings, … Continue reading Three Kings Day
Happy 2024! I hope everyone’s new year is going well so far. I’m looking forward to what this year has to offer because, like I said in my last post, I started a few things in 2023 that I wish to continue and hopefully finish this year, like my book. I may have been distracted … Continue reading Happy New Year 2024!
What a year! I don’t even know where to begin. It was a year filled with fun and sometimes not so fun experiences. I started the year with Covid I got during a trip to NYC and Boston. I kept traveling during the year, first to Chicago and then to New York and New Jersey. … Continue reading Bye bye 2023
Part of me feels like it hasn’t been that long since I graduated high school and another part of me feels like it was ages ago, but at has actually been fifteen years. I was reminded of this in my high school reunion earlier this week. It was great seeing a lot of people I … Continue reading High school reunion and Christmas 2023
This morning I had scheduled the Meta Social Media Marketing Associate exam. I had already taken this exam twice and didn’t pass but you know what they say, “third time’s a charm”, so I’ve been studying and taking some practice tests for about a week to finally get my certification. I was really worried because … Continue reading Got my Meta Social Media Marketing Profesional Certification!
This month I started writing my book, again. I have already lost count of how many times I’ve tried to write this. This time I have an editor keeping me organized. This editor, a.k.a my mom, has me on a schedule, one chapter per week. So far it has been going well; I write a … Continue reading I started and I will finish writing my book
I submitted my story for the Epilepsy Foundation last week. I was going to wait until they shared it on their website and Facebook but, since that hasn’t happened yet, I guess I’ll have to post it myself: I didn’t understand what they were telling me when my family told me I had epilepsy. How? … Continue reading Changing my epilepsy story
This year for Epilepsy Awareness Month, the Epilepsy Foundation of America are asking un to share our story with epilepsy, whatever our experience with epilepsy is in order to end the stigma. Every year they ask for stories and I always think about writing mine, but I never do it. That ends this year. I … Continue reading Change Our Epilepsy Story
As our vacation started to come to an end, we still had a few things to see, so on our last day started walking again. First on the list was a place called Little Island. I had no idea what it was, except that is was small island, but it’s the cutest park with a … Continue reading New York City Day 10: Little Island, High Line, Chelsea Market, The Vessel, Little Spain, Hudson Yards
