AWESOME BLOSSOM AWARD

ABOUT ME…

I WAS living in a huge city, MEXICO CITY, with more than 20 million other people all running at the same time in different directions, WHEN I FIRST STARTED THIS BLOG...SOME PARTS OF MY LIFE ARE STILL THE SAME: I'm raising my two children who haven't stopped leaving me breathless and senseless with every word they say and a husband that equally leaves me breathless and senseless without saying a word. HOWEVER, I'm no longer in Mexico City, now I'm back home in a much smaller city right on the border with the USA, nevertheless it is very much a part of the mexican territory and culture, at least that is what I strive to instill in my children. Despite that, I write in English because I am an English teacher and I prefer to leave my Spanish for the serious moments in my life... As you can imagine all of the above give me so much to ACT ON, REACT TO and speciallyTHINK ABOUT. And this is what you'll be reading!! Hope you’ll come back for more because I’ve got lots to say.
