ABOUT

I was born on an island I wish I knew better, in Santa Clara, Cuba. A few months before I turned six my parents put our family on a raft and braved the Florida Straits so I could grow up free. The significance of their choice and that peril was never lost on me. For more than half my life it was the biggest motivating factor behind each of my achievements. I'm not sure what, but something changed the year I turned 25. There began my journey to self discovery.

 

Along the way I've made great friends, gotten married, given birth (at home) three times, been a teacher, become a lawyer, moved from Miami to Live Oak, then back down to the swamp. In short, I've made decisions, learned, and changed my mind. All this, is what the blog's about: one woman's journey of discovering her self-worth. And of course, there are plenty of tangents.
