I needed a place of my own.
My kids are my everything. They motivate me to keep pushing and improving myself. I created this site to start writing blogs continuously and to start sharing some recipes from the cookbook that my Mom and I are working on. The blogs are mostly about me and what I am going through in life. I am currently working through therapy and want to be able to share my stories about the process with those around me to reassure them that therapy is not scary. It can be talked about. In a sense, I want to break the mold.
Therapy has helped me improve my relationship with my mother. My mother has been a direct inspiration to me because of all the hardships that she has gone through. She is my role model, but our relationship took a huge hit when my Dad was deported. It took years to be able to rebuild our relationship. With the help of therapy, I am able to spend time with her, listen to her advice, and build boundaries. Therapy has allowed me to be able to ask her for things that I need. Most importantly, her support, without her support this cookbook we are working on would only be an idea.
Stay tuned for more updates to come!
