Welcome to my blog! I hope that you will join me on this journey to self-love, learning to overcome depression and other hardships, and creating joy intentionally.

After years of struggling with severe depression, negative self-image, and lack of self-worth, I decided it was time to allow myself to be vulnerable, seek help, and find self-love. Though it's an on-going journey, I want to tell my story, share my experiences, and help others living with depression and other mental health issues.

I want to create a space where women in all stages of life, no matter their struggles, can be part of a community where it's safe to be vulnerable, honest, and real. I want to share the hardships of being a wife and mother, and how I manage life and find joy through intentional actions. 

I'm a 37-year-old Latin-American girl, mama, wife, and teacher. Actually, I'm a new stay at home mom, but I will always be a teacher at heart.
