I'm happy to say I have completed the Focus T25 videos, all 10 weeks and I am alive. There really was nothing to be scared of, at least as long as you do it at your own speed and level. That's exactly what I did, I followed the modifier when I had to and followed … Continue reading Focus T25- I finished!

Everything was in the backyard when I woke up this morning, all the paint cans and chairs, well all the separated pieces of the chairs. It was all on top of pieces of card board spread across de yard; it was time to paint! I waited patiently as I got instructions on how to paint … Continue reading The day I got to make a mess with spray paint
What a great weekend! We stayed at an Airbnb which was better than a hotel; it was a huge house at walking distance to the beach. Because it was a beach house, it had 4 one-person kayaks, and at first I was doubting going on one because I didn't know if I would be able … Continue reading Something new every weekend, this weekend- Kayaking
Yesterday I learned how to cut a pineapple we would use today to make Piña Colada. I told her we had to make it when she bought two pineapples on this weekend, but by we I meant you ( my aunt, Titi Marta), so we made it today for Father's Day. I had never done … Continue reading My Piña Colada
WOW! Things have changed from 2012, including my writing. These are my memories, just like I wrote them in 2012.
Here are my last memories from 2012. I still am very proud of all of this as I read it again and I still remember how tired I was after taking just a few steps, but it was all worth it.

I want to … Continue reading Happy Birthday!

Sitting in my room, in front of the fan because it’s so da… hot, listening to Pandora, and writing. I didn’t imagine I would be doing this, three years ago. I had different plans. I knew I would be writing, I just didn’t think I’d be back home. But you can make all the plans you want, but that doesn’t mean they will come true. What you want and what life will give you are two very different things, you just have to be ready to deal with what life throws at you, like it or not.

Today my friend Fransheska and I decided we wanted to cook a meal together. I have not really cooked in 5 years, not a real meal on the stove and chopping and mixing ingredients in a pan, kind of cooking.

When my neurologist gave me permission to drive he said nothing about cooking, but I figured if I can drive I can also cook in the oven and the stove instead of the microwave and toaster oven. I was already, before I had permission, using the stove for small stuff but never had the nerve … Continue reading Now I’m driving AND cooking!!!
Unstoppable María is two years old today! Can you beleive it? I still can't believe it, really, sometimes I think I started this last year, because I have had so much fun writing.
