 My mom and me This week's chapter in my blog is going to be all me instead of sharing the spotlight with my mom, I wanted to create a chapter where I talk in detail about how I have seen my mom since I was little. All of these chapters have been filled with new information even to myself so I wanted to kind of share my perspective about everything I have to say about them and some extra, I guess I am using it as a space to also dedicate some sweet words to my mom in a more public setting.  Since I was little remember my mom was always the only person there next to me, she would always be there taking care of me and my sister. Always standing tall and proud, my sister and I grew up without a father figure to look up to but we did grow up with a mom who would do great at trying to be both. She would one day be dressed up like a princess playing with my sister's dolls and the next day she would be on my bed fighting me with my lightsabers. She taught me how to shave, how to tie a

  START A BUSINESS IN THE USA   "Now what? I’m settled, I feel much better, and life must go on. What am I going to do with my energy? I must work, otherwise I would be nuts. I have been working all my life. I’m passionate about transforming people's, and companies' life. So, after many applications filled in and so many letters telling me that “My qualifications are impressive, but they chose another person,” I must look for something to do. I started this blog thinking that it was time to start my brand or maybe my own business. My daughter encouraged me to do it. But there was a problem, how could I do it? Even better What can I do it? So first, my blog, secondly my website, third my social media, and then my products. Easy to say it, even to plan it, although do it? I started to learn about affiliate marketing, and social media on my own but it was hard. I kept telling myself “You can do it, go on,” but it didn’t let me know which one was the road. I punished m

 My children, Isabella & Nico My mother wanted to encompass how she sees me and my sister in these paragraphs, she wanted to write about us individually and now as a whole. She has always put us first and seen us as her greatest accomplishment, so in this chapter, she wanted to summarize her thoughts about her children how having children has impacted her life, and what has reached her. "Today I just feel like talking about my children. Being a mother of my two children has been a gift from the Universe, God, or both. They make me feel that I’m special. I always thought that I was meant to be a mother. Every day, I challenge myself to be my best for them because Isabella and Nicolas deserve it, I’m their model so I must be the best mother they ever dreamed of. I’m the kind of person who thinks that I bring them into this world, so I must be responsible for their future. I must build their road and after they grow up, I must be their coach. If they chose me, I just have to say,

My Heart This week's blog is more serious in its tone, my mom sent me a message last night telling me that she wanted to share and post this entry from her journal. She wanted to share her experience and her raw emotions to help anyone that reads it and relates to it, to realize that they are not alone and that someone out there is feeling the same. I am very proud of my mom for sharing this since the mom that I knew did not share her emotions so freely, so seeing her get this far is a sight I am very proud to see. Journal thoughts: "Today, I thought it was important to talk about how I’m feeling after six months of moving to Portland. I had lived many kinds of experiences that I never thought I would have again. As an exchange student, I had some of them, some were nice, but some were frustrated, shameful, and demotivated. I’m a strong woman. I always have been, and my friends know it. Although I’m 58 years old, and I’m living those experiences again in 6 months with one more

 Nicolas My mom has never made me feel unloved or not appreciated She sent me this paragraph this week to describe how much she thinks of me and how exactly my personality has affected her positively. I wanted to share this one this week because it is extremely beautiful and I am so proud and happy to have a mother so outspoken on how much she loves her kids. "Nicolas was born as a member who will balance our triangle family perfectly. If someone asks me to describe Nicolas just in one word it would be “Life”. He is my definition of Life, who goes with the flow, always laughs, and is always happy, but innocent. He cares about himself more than anything, pays attention to every piece of advice, makes you feel comfortable, and you always would have the most amazing time with him. Nicolas is just the greatest man I have known. Well, I raised him. As my mother used to say, “You did him, you made him as he has become.” As a human being, I can say that it has been a learning experience

 Isabella My mom and my sister have always been best friends since I can remember, they always have been there for each other and they always will. Whenever we go on family vacations they always seem like sisters instead of mother and daughter by the way that they talk to each other. If in the future I am lucky enough to start a family of my own I would want my children and me to have the same relationship my sister has with my mom. "Once I was told that I have been with Isabella in several different lives, as mother and daughter and vice versa, as friends, and as business partners. And yes, my daughter and I have a special universal connection, I could feel it since the day she was born. Like I always told her, I was in a meeting with the president of the company when the doctor called me to say that I had to meet him at the hospital. Something was going on with my baby, and he needed to do an ultrasound and decide hat to do. I got really scared, so I was excused from the meeting
