Unleashing Quarantine Talents Part 1 :)

Good evening all,

It is true that we are experiencing uncertain times and some people are dying to go out and experience that sun just like we did before. I can definitely get on board with that thought too because even though we are keeping ourselves busy, we do miss all the summer activities and being with people. So, how have you all been coping? What is interesting is that during these times I have been unleashing the creativity juices. Some of the creative juices or hidden talents I have come to realize is the ability to bake new things from scratch.

  It all started when I wanted to come and surprise my mom on her birthday and ended up staying here for the remainder of this quarantine. Part of the reason why it was a lot easier to decide to come is also because the kitchen was getting remodeled at my house so it only made sense and also because I got to spend time with my parents. Before getting remodeled, I recently got into baking but only things that had mixes just like most of you as an amateur, you must master how to follow the directions before attempting other things. When I did my first baked from scratch dish last year during the holidays which was the sweet potato casserole, it was a huge hit with the whole family so I thought to myself I think I will continue to keep learning and see what I come up with. With that said, I can never ignore my sweet tooth just as much as my parents.

So, probably in like the next few weeks I was here I put the oven into good use. My first creation of unleashing my talents began with the thought that when life gives you lemons you make lemonade so how did I implement it? Well, I decided to make bread from scratch. Before those great cooks out there, had generations to generations of recipes being passed down, however, nowadays, the past recipes are being added just one ingredient and it becomes something different or maybe you are able to cut corners. I love how now we have the recipes at our fingertips whether you want to attempt works from Chef Bobby Flay or even a lovely stay at home mom that loves to share their recipes for you to learn breaking it down. I went ahead and decided to go ahead and give it a go on trying out the banana nut bread so first thing I thought is do we have all the ingredients here or do we need to go out and buy them with the particular recipe I choose. I used Youtube to find the latest banana nut bread recipe that was very easy to follow and from scratch that was located in allrecipes.com. Just wanted to share the video with you all so you can give it a try too along with the ingredients to make this delicacy below:

Such a scrumptious treat 🙂

Ingredients needed for banana nut bread

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup butter or margarine
• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 cups mashed overripe bananas
• 4 eggs beaten
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup of raisins

Prep: 20 mins

Cook: 1 hr

10 mins

Total: 1 hr 30 mins

Servings: 24

Yield: 2 – 9×5 inch loaves

Directions

• Step 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9×5 inch loaf pans.
• Step 2 Whisk the flour, salt and baking soda into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the butter or margarine and sugar until smooth. Stir in the bananas, eggs, and walnuts until well blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, and stir just until blended. Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans.
• Step 3 Bake for 60 to 70 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted into the crown of the loaf comes out clean. Let the loaves cool in the pans for at least 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack, and cool completely. Wrap in aluminum foil to keep in the moisture. Ideally, refrigerate the loaves for 2 hours or more before serving.

After the bread came out of the oven, I could not wait to try it and show it to my parents it was a thank you for letting me stay here and also told them I wanted to try new things. It looked so moist and ofcourse did the toothpick test and it passed with the right temperature and nothing doughy, hooray perfect dessert to accompany the dinner! When my mom came home from work, she was able to taste it with all of us and it was so delicious that my parents were awaiting for more creations and that was the spark the passion that was the beginning of more recipes for dessert to try from scratch. Remember, you do not necessarily need to be an expert at cooking but if you want to try things do not be afraid to fail and keep on going you only need to take one step the desire to go for it no matter what. Never give up you never know you had all these hidden talents all along.

Goodnight for now as always looking forward to your comments if you decided to try it can’t wait to hear how it went?

Let Nature Take Its Course :)

Good afternoon all,

It has been a long time since I have gotten the itch to write and I usually do this for self expression and to cope with certain feelings in my everyday life. I never want to feel where I have lost control and sometimes you have to be in that moment to feel what you are feeling in that very moment. I know these are uncertain times on this Memorial Day weekend and even the new norm now. I recently had to deal with misunderstandings and problems with miscommunication that almost reached my breaking point. I am sure you all can probably relate to this, ever heard the term cutting the umbilical cord.

Well, I can honestly say I have not had a reason to move out or start looking until now. Most parents want you to follow in their footsteps but in the end the child is the one that determines what makes them happy and their future not them. Parents can guide but that is it in the end we determine the life we take or the path we decide. I know some parents think it is right to not make mistakes but in reality you are kind of hindering their growth because then the child will see mistakes as a bad thing where it can be a learning curve if you make mistakes you find a solution to not make them again. Michael Jordan, for instance, was not born to play basketball, he struggled just like anyone would starting out failed countless amount of times but also practiced hard to become the greatest of all time.

So why do parents feel the need for children to run on egg shells around them not only do they want to live vicariously through you but also if you stray from their so called path it is not the right one. These type of arguments happen when your child has been awaken and open to numerous possibilities that are outside the box and outside the norm of a corporate job and they decide to become entrepreneurs. So why would that be a bad thing, well parents are thinking of the security financially and how that is a pipe dream that does not generate something right now. What if in reality we are aware of the downfalls of starting a new business or venture but are already thinking I should do both because then I can invest in anything. Then they ask you how are you going to do it, first of all when you have an idea you already know what your plan is and how you are to implement it and as an adult they should realize she/he will learn and make it happen.

I always say first and foremost in accomplishing anything have faith in yourself because without that you will not be able to face adversity and take everything personally along the way leaving you clueless and second guessing your next move. It definitely leaves you hopeless and doubtful of is what I’m doing wrong I have been trying and trying I know this is a growing process but how come it is not making you grow sooner towards your goals. When you have naysayers that is when you are doing something right because you are embracing the fire they are putting in your butt to conquer anything. So what do you do when as a kid your life was mapped out for you without knowing better you follow that path but then realize I never chose this so why am I here then you try to live up to expectations putting extra pressure on you realizing I never want to disappoint so I must stay put but then you grow up and realize the parents tried their best but now it is time to do what makes me happy if I don’t I will end up resenting them for the life they created for me when in reality doing this programmed thing I never wanted why did our passions get disregarded or not counted. Why did they not take the time and understand the child talk to them and guide them towards the path they wanted.

What is crazy is how they love comparing you to your siblings yet why was there two styles of parenting for both where one was allowed to make mistakes and one was not allowed to live and grow. Truth is parents have the best intentions but do not know how to relay the message for instance, you are consistently working on yourself physically through your passion of fitness yet it is not good enough or see change and begin to put you down that in itself is sufficient ammo to give up on something. They say they want to tell you the truth but then why do they not watch the words they say and figure out a way to not sound condescending or sarcastic basically downgrading all your efforts and making you feel very small like a guest in the house as opposed to your own kids. You are supposed to give positive reinforcement for a child to do well at school or anything they want to accomplish but not put people down or not support their dreams. A lot of these parental behaviors stem from their own parents maybe that is how they were talked to as children too and think it is normal and ok to do the same thing to their children. So I ask myself why not learn from their own parents mistakes and not commit the same ones with their kids. Sometimes making things happen will shut anyone up so please do not give up sometimes unfortunately you will encounter your close family not believing in you and even though that hurts that should be fuel enough to continue striving until you reach that gold!

 

Please share with me your comments about this story and remember to never give up or settle for less 🙂

Never Giving Up :)

Good evening all,

I just wanted to share how I overcame a bunch of obstacles to get to where I am and I am also here to tell you it is okay to think big no matter what. Even you saw your passion as a pipe-dream at first and I am telling you I can relate big time. Think of it as a flower, you first start with the seed then you water it and watch it harvest such as starting a business with a team and a partner that was able to show you more than you know but realized your full potential since he saw my passion I have followed my friend and his accomplishments and told myself I wonder what he is doing right and what can I do to make it happen since I love the creative side of marketing. I decided to contact him a while back when I was actively looking for a job and wanted to know if he was hiring because I admired his work and tenacity to making it happen. To really hone into my passion I had to really open myself up and becoming an expert in my craft and what I love to do and I owe it to my friends who supported me and believed in me.

But as the law of attraction works, if you do not believe in yourself first then you will not receive from the universe and let them know how amazing you are. I love coming up with so many ideas on paper and when you execute it to take the business to the next level is rewarding. The graphics, ad copy, and even video edits to capture the right message I learned from the ground up especially not knowing anything about our primary focus which is restaurants. I never gave up on myself and my capabilities of being a fast learner and low and behold I acquired a lot of knowledge under my belt to become the best marketer I can be. It was great to be behind the scenes and create masterpieces, however, it has been fun to be recognized by my team to better help the team by transitioning into sales since I have been landing meetings and putting clients on trials which deems me capable of the customer relations role and deciding to head the division of Health with the addition of our new DBA under our parent company Food Boost Media. There have been many experiences in my past that have shaped me and given me thick skin to face anything head on. I am ready to grow in my role in management and help others learn what we do and coach others to expand the team. I feel like this is home for the long haul because it is beautiful to call something your own and be a part of it in the baby stages as it grows big.

 

Remember all never give up on something because anything is possible no matter what challenges you face 🙂

A special family member that will never be forgotten:)

Good evening all,

Most people are faced with a difficult decision in their life. We all grow up with our childhood pets over the years and we grow super attached to them that you come to think of them as your own children. Our special little guy I remember when he was a puppy and came to the house he helped us through some very tough times especially my brother and was his best friend by his side and I cannot forget the way this little guy named Kratos brought him back to life. I loved the way he played with us when we were growing up along with his brother Sparky and how he was our rock when we lost him too. The special guidance Kratos took as a big brother to little Cali was uncanny even though she was hyper and did not leave him alone, she would always look up to him for teaching to become a good guard.

Our little special guy would run with us when we were in the patio when we would play around with the ball when he played fetch for the first time. When we first taught him a few tricks he learned how to give us a quick shake with both hands and that was awesome and deserving of a doggie treat. He was protected under our care like a little child and like a child loved playing in the patio with other dogs and loved the visit from his brothers and sisters. Even though, neighbors saw his size they feared him because he was a great good guard dog, however, he was a teddy bear always loved by this family and cared for. He was intuitive because he would know when one of us was feeling down such as a loyal pet would.

He would also look at us when we were working out and want to be with us and never leave our side.  Every time we arrived in our cars, he would know the sound of the motor and greet us and we would love to greet him as he deserves. My lovely doggie was treated like a special member of the family always I would remember every time we would want to sneak a little rice in his plate or some bread, he would follow us around with the sad puppy eyes that were so angelic and hard to say “No” to. Every holiday we would bring a little toy for him and his sister and they would gracefully play together. There was such harmony to see that such peace in the house even though they were not house dogs and they were to remain outside they were trained so well to be at our sides and be loved just like a child would be.

I remember when we used to cradle the puppy Kratos like a baby and it feels like yesterday. We have the cutest little antlers that they would wear as well in spirit of the holiday because they would always be around the decoration party for Christmas. Even for matters of the heart, we seek our pets for guidance since they listen so intently. My little babies are the cutest things so independent mindset when it comes to their walks around the trail. All the memories will be engrained forever in our hearts. When he would jump around and be agile, it was the best to see him nice and healthy. However, through the years, he was sick with the big “C” cancer and it was hard to see him suffering so he smoothly transitioned to doggie heaven where he is now guiding us and his sister. He will forever be loved by this family and memories will reign through in our hearts.

We love you my little Kratos, you will always be remembered for being our loyal companion to our family and our special family member that will forever be a part of us.

First Family Hike to the Waterfall :)

Good evening all,

A few weekends ago, I decided to take my parents up the infamous Eaton Canyon with all its natural beauty. I knew my parents would love the trip because I remember the first time we conquered a mountain unfortunately my mommy did not make it all the way until the end. So this was definitely redemption for her, I felt like she was ready for this because I know that mom and dad have a competition going on through Fitbit which allows them to run so since I knew they have been running or walking long strides I knew mommy can finally conquer a mountain and best of all was the beautiful waterfall at the end of the hike. I loved spending time with the folks and the peace within nature is uncanny. I was the expert hiker especially on this trail. Before starting the hike, it is good to use certain apps like Yelp or All Trails to give you a map with a direct location to the trail you want to try out for the first time.

My daddy can be described as the nature guy so he loved it when we began the trail. One thing was a warning for sure not to drink way too much water because I knew the rest stop was the only one that we ran into before following the trail. The start of the trail is amazing because it has the best mountainous nature views with the greenery in the pasture to the wild yellow flowers. The rock formations were so great because of all the steps that we had to face some were wet and near a riverbed, but we were able to help each other so we got to the end goal. I was super proud of my mommy because we reached the beautiful waterfall and accomplished the hike together.

My mommy was so happy to make it happen and so was my daddy we all loved every minute of it. It made me believe that it takes one step to anything you want to accomplish by committing yourself to reach your goals. My mom and dad say the average steps on a Fitbit is about 10,000 steps so that is the goal to reach everyday and when they lack they start dancing or marching, it is too funny but I definitely love their tenacity. I enjoyed myself and so did they when we heard the birds around and took a whiff of the trees. When arriving to the waterfall, it was the best time to take pictures and just listen to the serene water to reflect the beauty. It was a bit hott that we did get some color but we did have to get back since we had an engagement to get to. In the end, pictures are worth a thousand words so we had a blast and will continue to be a hiking family.

Remember to do something always that makes your heart sing, please as always share some of your favorite stories and comment below.

 

 

Have an amazing night 🙂

The American Young Badass :)

Good afternoon all,

I have taken it upon myself to get out of the writing block I was in and decided to write about this young lady I am extremely proud of. Time flies and life flies by and the years roll by, it was just yesterday I blink for a second and I remember when you were just a child and I had you in my arms and now you are a grown woman headed to a great adventure that makes you “an American Young Badass,” since you are Airforce bound. Ever since you were little you always wanted to serve our country and follow your path and now you are going to put your passion for kids into good use through the nursing program. I admire what you are about to do it is very commendable and you are going to be in a journey that not a lot of people have chosen but it is an enormous honor.

It has been great accompanying you on your journey through many milestones in your life such as graduation from 8^th grade to graduating high school. Now you will be sworn in in the next couple of days to become a United States Airwoman facing obstacles that I know you are strong enough to handle. You are the light of everyone’s world at church and in our family. I loved being like a big sister to you too whenever we talked about crushes or anything going on in your life etc. I love you and will miss you so much for some time as will my family but I know we will see you when you finish the greatest accomplishment and complete your graduation as an Airwoman and cannot wait to hear your experience and how you came out a badass for it.

 

Love your auntie,

Jojo

Best friends for life :)

Good afternoon all,

Another thing that I am very passionate about are my friends, I know I have been anonymous about my subjects in my stories but this is in honor of my best friend Joyce. I created this collage of the years we met and have been through so much as you can tell from 2006-2017. I love the fact that we have been through bad times and good times. We were so young back then, however, now we are mature adults that have busy lives whether it is career or relationships, we always seem to catch up whenever we can. After all the saying they told me when I was in college, I never understood it which was “friends you make in college will be your friends for life,” until I met you my first year.

We explored college for the first time and enjoyed ourselves to the fullest and now we are independent women who are striving far in life. We have set sail not knowing what we wanted to major in and then decisions have to be made when Cal Poly would send those awesome emails saying major needs to be declared etc. We both seemed so ready to get the years started in the University so eager to know what was in store for us. We had fun in all the parties and dances that we attended and shaked our booty together.  I was there for all the girls’ nights, birthdays, bachelorette’s, and epic moments in your life.

You have been a great friend, an inspiration to be a future wife for my future husband in the future, admire the tenacity in being cupid for me in order to have me jump back into the dating scene, appreciate the support in anything I do, appreciate the fact that you can be a long-lost sister from another mother, the trustworthiness, a kickass teacher that is teaching her kids to be the best they could be because it is super rewarding, even through tough times such as any family ordeals we are there for one another, no matter if we don’t agree on things we are very respectful, and exciting and positive nature makes us n’sync to be driven towards our goals. We had some good old days too like when one of our hangouts was downtown Fullerton and had no care in the world and just loved having fun. Nowadays, like these last little outings it definitely makes us feel young at heart and having interesting conversations is really good because when we were younger there are some people men in general that did not look pass looks and now intelligence is the forefront that lights up a room and if other people that we meet cannot handle an intellectual conversation than so be it move on to the next.

The intent is not to get crazy but to have fun conversations with men even as a married individual you know how to hold your own and keep our friendship growing strong and you do not forget about that. I am very fortunate to have a friend like you and I cannot wait for many more milestones and memories in our lives. Like you said, it is like the real Sex and the City but this time when guilty by association plays a part I love being part of being beauty and brains because the going with the flow can end up into something great and for that I thank you. I also thank you for being an active listener and helping me through relationship tough times etc. and getting me back in the saddle shortly but surely. I also thank you for being such a genuine person with me because only then would I have felt comfortable enough to share the real me too. It was one of my favorite moments of my life when I was honored to be your maid of honor in one of the most epic times of my life and for that I love you my dear close friend Joyce.

A soul that will never leave us :)

Good afternoon all,

This has been one of the hardest pieces I have ever had to write, some people deal with grief in a different way and I write my thoughts down in paper and this helps me deal with it. May has been an interesting month and also a reminder that the patriarch of the family has left us and has gone to heaven. What can I say about Papi Lautarito, he had a nickname for all of us including myself “Huesitos” most translated in English as “Bones.” Looking back at all these memories makes me feel sad and all emotions of what I felt that day that we were losing Papi. He lived a fruitful life, always making jokes, dancing, and always looking like a young buck.

Everybody had their own personal memories but one of my cherished memories was when he taught me how to play 40 the most famous card game in Ecuador and since he knew all the rules he would always have the huge advantage to beating me. There were times when I would win and he would tell me how I cheated. I used to say I just got the lucky cards what can I say. I loved hearing all the childhood stories of when he was a young boxer because it must be true since whenever I would see him dreaming I would see him punch out mean old right hooks and jabs. He extended his love to everyone his grandkids, great grandkids, even his sons and daughters.

He was so independent even when I was taking care of him for a long period of time all he wanted was someone to keep tabs of the time schedule for medication but he would want to do it on his own always. He used to make fun of people on walkers because he said he would never be that person that should be cared for. He was always resilient and loved telling those stories of when him and his wife first started to make it out in the world from beginning to end. Sometimes he would be sad telling the story and I would feel his pain whenever he would talk about how bad the cops were with deportation when immigrants did not have any papers. He always told me how much sacrifices he had to do in order to provide for the entire family and always admired him for that.

We enjoyed watching sports together such as basketball even though he was going for whoever wins. I would tell him that is not the point to go for the one that is winning but go for the team one loves but to him it made no difference. Every time we saw the Lakers play on the big screen, he would think Kobe Bryant was his neighbor and we never corrected him because God forbid he was wrong about something. He loved animals so much so when we would visit his house in Ecuador I saw the whole entire zoo  and loved getting to know each and every one of them as we got to give them names. He was an extraordinary dancer so graceful and so on point that may be why I was so curious in learning everybody’s steps on the dance floor.

Papi always loved spending time with dad since dad would listen to all his stories, dad would have a great time watching soccer with Papi. All these pictures with all these beautiful memories remind me of how much we loved our grandpa. My cousin Adam was always known as baby Adam and his best nickname for Papi was chiripoopoo. My cousin Michelle was known as la chinita to Papi and she had a blast when she spent some of the most precious times with him when she was being his nurse and for that we thank her because she knew what to do at the most difficult times. My favorite little Moras have so many precious moments with him too since they loved sharing stories with him every time they came home from school.

When our favorite Papi left us for a better place, my mom and her sisters each have a different experience with him but my mommy was a huge rock for us, however, our family had to definitely return the favor and make sure she got through this hardest of all days we provided her love, understanding, caring, and absolute devotion to her. Every kiss and cuddle, surprising him when I got home from work always made him smile huge. He got me involved and addicted to soap operas in Spanish so with my parents we kept on watching religiously to carry on that tradition. I know this may sound weird but I feel like Papi never left and is always guiding me through the path of life by asking him questions and praying to him to make some decisions where it came to emotional feelings and one thing that he would always tell me that resonated with me was “always follow what your heart desires no matter what.” He always believed in me and my passions so ever since then and always I have never backed down from the goals I set out for myself because I always look back at why I started and what drives me. I will always remember my dear Papi Lautarito I love you and miss you so much and decided to honor you by telling this story and I will never forget you and your soul will remain in our hearts forever.

A Little Piece of History :)

 

Good evening all,

I had an epic weekend this past weekend because sometimes I don’t know if it is just me but when you are little you tend to remember what places you visited. It turns out I went somewhere new and to embrace a place of history. My uncle was very kind enough to invite me to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library with his nephew that came from out-of-town. It was such a wonderful experience to step into the life of a great president and learn all his accomplishments. It made me understand the difficult decisions that being a president entails.

President Ronald Reagan was an actor and an American politician serving as our 40th president of the United States of America. He was also the Governor of California according to Wikipedia talk about super qualified. By learning more about our President through research found out that he had Democratic views and then later became conservative and switched to the Republican Party. The relationship between Ronald Reagan and Nancy was one to admire because it was so strong from the beginning due to him starting from the bottom being raised in a poor family and through his journey in Hollywood as an actor she was always by his side. I also found out the candy of choice for the President were jelly beans that I had to take a picture of the masterpiece self-portrait made of jelly beans. I was impacted of how calm the President was to make decisions especially when we had many enemies that wanted to tear us apart.

I definitely also resonated with this President because he would have his own personal journal where he put all his thoughts down and for me writing is passion in the way I express myself. It was amazing to find out that one of his accomplishments was the                               devising the INF Treaty with Mikhail Gorbachev in order to shrink the Soviet and United States’ nuclear arsenals. People love to see the fashion that the First Lady makes a trend and I have got to say some beautiful gowns that I took a picture of as well. It was awesome to see the replica piece of the Berlin Wall with its amazing masterpiece even though it is a picture of a butterfly that has always been symbolic for me in that it came out of a cocoon and is now ready to fly solo and reach the gold and go after its dreams no matter what. The President at the time was a huge horse lover and loved anything western so there was a lot of cowboy memorabilia that he would wear at his retreat in Camp David.

I also had a chance with the fam bam of course to go inside Air Force One and Marine One so realized Press always sat in the back but very cool communication gadgets in order to talk to the world globally no matter where the President was at any given time. It was cool to take the famous pose with the family the presidential wave before boarding Air Force One. My favorite picture was me practicing for my presidential speech because believing in yourself takes only one step to make anything happen I want to inspire others to believe in themselves because some fail to have faith but as long as you have God by your side anything is possible. It was interesting to see how the President was so resilient when there was an attempt to murder him, he was still telling jokes in the hospital and came back stronger than ever. It looked like he definitely touched the lives of so many which is why there was past presidents that respected him until the time of his death when he was battling Alzheimer’s. He always embraced the opinion of women and respected his wife who was there throughout everything. I admire that partnership or marriage and have faith that God will put a great man like that in my path of life when the timing is right.

What does Easter mean to me?

Good afternoon all, I was excited when April came around because it means so much for a lot of people including myself, things that were brought up to light from an adorable friend of mine such as a few birthdays from people I care about and also someone I absolutely love like my mother. Her birth month is the best because this woman I admire was born and she is an extraordinary person, love her business mindedness, how passionate she is, supportive, go-getter, friendly, gives great advice, stubborn, patient, determined, easygoing, has a big heart, cares for everyone, puts family first, independent, adventurous, ambitious, reliable, best mom in the world, and loyal. I would have not existed if she did not bring me into this world and for that I am forever grateful for this beautiful individual that is born on this month as we call April showers where nature is warmed in order to be full bloomed. There are other things that happen in April as well such as Hitler’s bday as well what is so fascinating about him is that he had the ability to lead in such a way that everyone would follow no matter who it was or what race they were.

Another thing that comes to mind is Palm Sunday, which is based on Catholic Online, the final Sunday of Lent, the beginning of Holy Week, and the triumphant arrival of Christ into Jerusalem. The Palm is a huge symbol of peace and victory which is why it is widely used in this glorious occasion. Now we come up to Good Friday, which is today coincidentally and represents the crucifixion where Jesus dies on the cross to absolve us from our sins. There are also some other days that we Americans face and that is tax season when it comes everybody thinks dang that was fast or I better get on it lol. Last but not least, Easter, according to AllaboutJesusChrist.org, it symbolizes Jesus Christ’s victory over death and his resurrection states that eternal life is granted to all who believe in him. Easter to me signifies a new beginning a clean slate when we see the age of innocence in children using their imagination and creativeness seeping through their veins. I believe that anything is possible if they want to be whatever it is when they grow up then I say support them never put a damper on their dreams because you never know they can surprise you in huge ways. I love it the most because it is a family holiday and no matter how old the kids are they will always appreciate the togetherness, love, understanding, gratefulness, passion for one another, supportiveness, and spending the cherished quality time.

 

Remember would love to hear your Easter stories or what they mean to you, please comment below any thoughts. All you warriors out there no matter how big or small your voice matters never ever turn back and keep moving forward !!!
