When the bride invited me to New Orleans for her bachelorette, I was a little nervous. Girls' Trips, in general, make me nervous after a bad experience I had. I was excited to go back to NOLA, though, since the last time I was there it was for my brawda's big 2-1. Although I didn't hit up NOLA for my bachelorette, it's the PERFECT place for a bachelorette. There is SO MUCH to do! And the food is AMAZING!
I am officially 1 day away from my trip to NOLA for a friend's bachelorette party weekend. I haven’t been to New Orleans since 5 years ago for my baby brawda's big 2-1. I love the spirit and the culture of The Big Easy. I am SO EXCITED to finally be back. I love traveling and it is definitely something I want to do more. I especially love the planning process leading up to a trip. I always do the same 3 things before visiting somewhere new or even somewhere I have gone to before.
Many of us are superwomen; We are the women who feel and desire to live up to the expectations and pressures to do it all. We are the women who work hard and are totally dedicated to juggling multiple roles in lives: careers, marriages, family, and friends.
Two years have passed since then and I wanted to see if things had changed. I was invited to attend the PGA Tour Dell Matchplay in Austin, TX. I was super skeptical and didn't want to get my hopes up. My mission was to find any and all Latin@s at the tournament and interview them. I also decided to ask around my circle of friends to see if any Latin@s I know play or watch golf.
Abuelito, I miss you every day. There is so much more I wish we could have talked about. It's opening day. I wish you were here so we could visit and go to a game together. Life is amazing and you can learn so much along the way. People die but life goes on. You will always have their memories to hang on to. Now, como decías siempre tu abuelito, play ball!!!!

Setting goals is essential for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn your vision of this future into reality. The process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know where you have to concentrate your efforts. You'll also quickly spot the distractions that can, so easily, lead you astray.
I have also decided on my WORD OF THE YEAR!!! Every year, I pick a word that will be my guide for my life. This year, my word is JOY. I really want to focus more on doing things and taking opportunities that make ME happy. This past year was a little tough for me and looking back I realized that I wasn't happy for most of it. I feel that if I look at every opportunity that is laid before me and ask myself "Will this bring me JOY?" and "Will I look back and be happy I did this?" And then if I stick to bringing JOY into my life everything else will fall into place.
I was always one of those people that would judge other people who loved their pets like humans. The first day I met Chapo when I picked him up, I could have sworn I made the worst mistake of my life. He kept whining on the drive back to Austin because I had him in a little crate in the back. Halfway home, I pulled over to the side and took him out of the crate. I placed him on my lap and started driving again. He cuddled up and put his little head in this little "cave" spot in between my arm and the seat belt. My heart melted and I fell in love.
When the bride invited me to Playa del Carmen for her bachelorette, I was a little nervous. Girls' Trips, in general, make me nervous after a bad experience I had. I was excited to go back to the Cancun area, though, since the last time I was there it was for my sister's big 1-8. Although I won't be hitting up Playa del Carmen for my bachelorette, it's the PERFECT place for a bachelorette. There is SO MUCH to do! The weather is PERFECT! And the food is AMAZING!
