“Drudgery is the test of genuine character.”

– Oswald Chamber

I’ve learned several lessons these past few weeks –

Live teachable…

There is greatness in doing simple things greatly.

Don’t think of yourself insignificant in your path, it’s your journey.

Live your life as best as possible and if along the way you inspire or find others inspiring it’s a gift.

Live with kindness, forgiveness and find moments to laugh out loud.

Don’t look at what you don’t have but be thankful for what you do have

Steal away moments to be alone and pray.

Your presence is priceless.

You are greatly valued.

Find community.

Be thankful…

Lesson:

Your thoughts—how rare, how beautiful!

God, I’ll never comprehend them!

I couldn’t even begin to count them—

Any more than I could count the sand of the sea.

    I am a proud Latina. I am Puerto Rican from The Bronx, NY (which makes me a United States Citizen - wink!) My experience being bi-coastal has brought a lot of range to my life and has expanded my vision on how Latinas are perceived on both coasts. With the desire to be informed, educated and entertained, I pursued a career in Communications. I am a graduate of USC Gould School of Law with a Masters in the Study of Law with a certification in Entertainment Law. I am passionate about the truth. I am a news junkie and love to learn something new — Blogger (writer) for Soul of a Woman.blog.
