The Introduction

On a very quiet, colder then usual february morning, the very first february morning of the year in the late 80's I opened my eyes for the first time in this world. In the last 23 years since that moment, I have been intertwined in a constant learning process. I grew up reading fairy tales, fascinated with the colorful pictures in the books, watching disney movies, and dancing and singing as my parents video tapped me and my older sister. Naturally, I view the world in many ways as magical. I grew up in what many people around the world consider paradise, Miami, Florida famously known for its melting pot population, beautiful weather and gorgeous glammed up people. It was here where my memoir developed.
        In miami, i lived a great life with parents who sacrificed constantly for me and my sister which intern, made life memorable. My mother was a teacher so she was my constant companion, with a job that did not  take up her life she could invest in her children and she did just that. My father worked very hard and tried to spend as much time with us as he could. As a younger child, I was full of life, always making jokes, loving the spotlight, any opportunity to talk was for me, laughter was continuous as i grew up i became more mellow. In my teenage years, I fought many battles with myself and endured much drama and equally memorable times with unforgettable friends before the moment when life seemed to stand still. This was the moment I came to know God for who he is, my creator. When I really truly grasped this, my life changed. I was not by any means perfect, and since that moment I have made many many mistakes but my constant obsession always ends at this place, the cross. I graduated high school, attended bible college and after some needed time off and a beautiful wedding, I moved back to the midwest to finish schooling here to return back to my hometown. The journey thus far has not been the easiest but it has been very fun and unforgettable leaving me with friendships that will last a lifetime. besides, every good story has its suspense, its despairs, and its triumphs. I decided to start this blog because I feel that I have a voice that needs to be heard, that perhaps my struggles and happiness could be a source of encouragement for others, To share what God lays on my hard, to be random, and well, ive always been a writer in my inner most being. So keep up with me and my life, and send me your blogs!
