Welcome!

Have you ever thought “What’s life about?“

Well, I did for awhile, actually well into my mid 30’s (I’m a late bloomer, I know, but hey whats important is I finally started thinking about life, so it’s never too late!). I always say life wouldn’t be life without challenges, does that make sense? When you think about it like that, if life had no challenges, then what would life be about? Hmm, makes you think a little!

We all learn through our mistakes, from our failures (and I know we all have our fair share of them, I sure do!). Life’s challenges can come when you least expect them, it’s how you overcome them is what matters and how you grow from that experience. Not everything in life is easy, you have to work hard and figure things out, once you do, you will be ready for any challenge life throws you.

Now do you see how life wouldn’t be life without challenges? Yes!

Everyone goes through different experiences and challenges but learning new ways can help you get to your happy place.

I’m a 41 year old (jeez that sounds so old when I write it out), Chilean-American woman, school counselor, mom of 2 amazing teenage boys, a 1 year old yellow lab and 2 cats. I’m also a significant other to a special someone, a hardworking and loving man. We’re doing life together as a family and enjoying every minute!

I think life is all about finding the best way to live a positive, grateful, happy life and live it! So I wanted to share the challenges and personal growth I have gone through in my life in hopes someone out there is going through something similar and needs to try a different approach to get to their happy place. While going through life’s challenges, I have some pretty awesome travel, cooking and lifestyle experiences that I’d love to share too! Soooooo let’s go!
