My Journey

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  I woke up to both of my kids smiling in my face and we watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade together then went to my sister's house to make dinner: Cornish hens Dressing Green beans w/ smoked turkey Whole kernel corn Fruit salad Rolls Cranberry sauce Roasted carrots and potatoes  Mozzarella and cranberry bites Turkey Gravy ( store bought) Patty's sweet potato pie Sitting here watching movies from our childhood like "Babe" and "Jumanji", Drinking sparkling cider, it really makes me feel grateful for family. I hope everyone has a great holiday.

Is it just me or do my kids sleep like otters pups. 

I have started a 5-year transformative journey to better myself, my body, my mental health and financial standing.  I started school again back at SMC to finish getting my Business degree because I want to transfer to CSULA and then to UCLA. I also have dreams of starting multiple businesses including a beauty business, a spa, an egg business with "Whitehead Family Farms" and a kawaii store.  I also want to continue to lose weight. I am back at a size 10 ( considering that at my largest I was a 14) after giving birth to both of my kids. I want to be able to create a great life for myself since I am a single mother.  I know it's going to be a hard journey and I am accepting whatever positive change comes my way. Whatever helps me become the best woman and mom I can be. Continue to find out who I am as a person. I want to be able to joke around again and become the human I am meant to become. 

I've lost so many family members over the past 15 years it is crazy. It seems like right after high-school everyone started to get sick and pass away. All of my grandparents,  my great aunts and uncles, some cousins, my father, and some friends. It's only right that I make an ofrenda to honor them. Will light the candles tonight and I might turn on the movie CoCo.
