It’s that time of year when we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. and we see everyone sharing his quotes all around the web. I have a feeling that Martin Luther King Jr. would feel better if the words he eloquently spoke from his heart were being practiced. It is nice to see, though, when many …

My grandfather’s name was Manuel Guerrero, therefore, my second last name means WARRIOR in English. He embodied his last name, and that made many admire him to the point that it was contagious. I was talking about this at the Women Warriors show where I was interviewed last Wednesday about Balancing Your Passions. This is …
Late last week, after our morning scripture study, I was discussing “the sickness of popularity” with my daughters. That’s what I call the “need” to be popular, to gain validation, or to fit into a group or category. Although I know that, according to Maslow, a “sense of belonging” is a major human need in …
You know what hobbies, interests, people and activities brighten your days when you have them and make life a bit gloomy when you don’t, yet maybe you’re still on your way to find your passion, wondering “what am I REALLY passionate about?” I wondered that so much that I started a quest to find that …
I am very open about my belief in Christ. In fact, I attribute any and all achievements and success of my life to my faith. Because of this, it is surprising to many when I say I don’t celebrate Easter. The truth is, I grew up celebrating Holy Week, in a country where I never …
Have you had one of those days when you get all that “precious” stuff you’ve been saving for years out of a box, a drawer, or wherever it may reside, to find a new home for them, that usually ends up being the trashcan? Whew…what a long question! With my long days staying home with …

I grew up around a wood workshop and my dad was patient enough to let me “help him” several times. I love pretty much anything that looks like, smells like, or is made out of wood. When I read Luke 6:41 for the first time, it left a big impression for I was well familiar with this …
I love bugs, snakes, and spiders (especially tarantulas!). Roaches only make me scream because, um, well, you know, they’re gross. My phobia, fear, or pet peeve wasn’t heights, the dark, or tight spaces. I was afraid of driving my car! Don’t get me wrong…I love my car. I even think I look kinda cute in …
Today, I’d like to share a little poem I read in my tween years in Spanish that guided my path for decades now. The power’s all in your mind: If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don’t. If you like to win but think you can’t, it’s …
