I Guess Working Spaces Do Tell a Story!

Where’s the space for office supplies (bought or brought from work)? Where do you put notepads, pens, pencils, highlighter, erasers, and liquid paper? Am I the only one who has them all as well as a stapler?

Can I call you?

I don’t want your status update or what Facebook calls “What’s On Your Mind,” I want to listen to you, know you’re OK, or not OK and try to do something about it, or be there for you.

A Story of Two Last Names

I am an improved version of the Keyla Medina-Rosa my parents brought to the world. Why would I take my husband's name in the blink of an eye? For me, it was like abandoning myself, denying my identity to become someone else's… Nah!

Now I See You Now I Don't

I don’t feel like having meaningless conversations were empty promises are thrown in; in which you have to ask for someone else from back in the day, and end with an ungrateful hug to be forgotten again.

Asking for a Friend

When you’re older how do you name your significant other? That’s a mouthful! When you’re together, hopefully exclusively, but they haven’t asked the official question. What name, label or title is used to define the relationship?

A Few Good Friends

I learned, cried, laughed, enjoyed, explored and learned from everyone. Each one contributed to my life, and I will always remember them because as I said before, I'm made up of bits of them all.

Once upon a time, there was something special

Take out the dress, wear the shoes, show off your jewelry; It's not doing anybody a favor hiding in a drawer.

24 is not the same as 8x8x8

I was improvising and managing. And then I was taught the difference between seeing the big picture and being disciplined.

Fashionably late

I’m still trying to figure out if I blinked and missed January or WTF happened. But I'm back, and I'm not going anywhere.

Why Did You Stop?

If your opinion, advice or the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval wasn't asked, don't say a word. I'm not going to care, and "because I want to, because I can and because I feel like it" I will continue dancing to my rhythm.

A Gift That's Not Really a Gift?

For him, a gift is something special, sincere and well thought-out I feel the same way but I also like practical gifts.

When's a Good Time to Talk About Death?

I don’t think that talking about death attracts it; it’s not something you have to call it just arrives. It seems to me that it is an inescapable subject which, at some point, must be given the time of the day.

Because I'm Worth It!

And one day we stopped making excuses; we set a date, chose our hideout, made ourselves a priority and gave the loving care, which we usually dedicate to the rest of the family, to us.

Shopping Workout In Miami

I think that I'm not alone and that, in addition to the people I know who shop online, out of masochism or conviction we’re still a large group that keeps the grocery shopping tradition alive.
