When I was 10 my dad incited a fight and then watched me be put into a choke-hold by a bully and left me to defend myself. Gotta love my dad and his ways of teaching survival skills. Forget the scouts lessons on how to make a fire out of rocks and sticks. Those tools didn't help in the projects where I grew up. This is what happened! One summer day while waiting in line at the ice cream truck, a boy on his bike hit me with the front tire and pushed me out of the way to cut in line. I was a frail child weighing a possible 49 pounds soak and wet. Soon as it happened I turned to find my dad for help. I go over to my dad and tell him that a boy hit me, pointing at the kid as I tattled. My dad walked back with me to the ice cream truck and called out to the kid. "You hit my daughter?" he asked in his strong boricua accent. I stood there with a 'that's right m*f and a grin on my face', waiting for the aftermath of what was about to happen. My dad was no joke! Then I...

Over 15 years ago, I frantically drove up and down the Berlin Turnpike looking for my husband. I entered every single motel on that strip, slowly driving through each parking lot checking for his car. I called his cell phone countless times leaving numerous voicemails begging him to please answer me. With smudged eyeliner all over my face, I could barely see through the tears as I sped up and down the strip in my car. And if that wasn't bad enough, I had left behind my six year old daughter sleeping home alone (thankfully she didn't wake up). Talk about poor desperate choices!   A woman's brokenness is usually rooted from childhood experiences. Insecurities planted way back before they became young adults. Beliefs of being less than or not good enough subconsciously programmed into the mind. It's not noticeable right away but it changes their behavior. Later in life, she accepts constantly being rejected, disrespected and manipulated by their spouse. Just like the ocean...

Had to take a break from doing my hair to bring you this nugget of inspiration! Watch the Vlog. Stop the excuses! The world is like an ocean of opportunities. It all comes down to YOU! Enjoy!!  P.S. Stay tuned for my Side Hustle video coming soon.

Good evening Queen Bees! I hope and pray that this video reaches the right person at the right time, and that healing finds them in return. Blessings!   P.S. Had to edit the video to make it as short as possible so please excuse the music cutting in and out.  

  On this Vlog I share how my 22 year old daughter Thalia is on a plan to save a half million dollars by putting away only $50 per month.

Hola Queen ( and King) Bees! I got this cup as a gift from my mentor recently as a symbol of perseverance. "Entrepreneur by Birth, BUFFALO by Choice" Are you a Buffalo? Let me tell you the story of the Buffalo vs the Cow.... the way it was revealed to my spirit. Animals can sense when a storm is coming. When a tornado makes its way through a field a Cow gets scared. It starts running away from the tornado. Eventually the slow and tired cow gets sucked up by the storm causing it pain and long suffering (probably death). A Buffalo on the other hand sees the tornado coming and gets ready to take it on. As the storm gets closer the buffalo charges at full speed straight into the storm. The buffalo is able to break through the storm and come out from the other side. Less pain, less suffering, no death! When life's storms show up in your life, are you a cow or are you a Buffalo?
