Roadtrip: Atlanta Georgia #PCOS #PCOSWALK

September is PCOS Awareness Month

This year I thought I would do something different for PCOS. I didn't want to just post pictures and write an entry about how PCOS affects me everyday of my life.  And so with the help of my friend Manny and my sister Idalmi, we drove seven hours to Atlanta Georgia and attended the PCOS 5K walk on Sunday.

The trip itself was an adventure. My sister and I with the bickering back and forth and Manuel just laughing at us. He already know how we are and he doesn't even take it seriously. That's why together us three made an awesome team. Manny kept us in check, Idalmi found a great place to eat and I made sure he had a hotel booked to sleep (plus we drove in my car).

Music kept us going, we mostly listened to Twenty One Pilots and I'll be posting a song from them after this post. But moving it on we had 7 hours in the road to talk, laugh and enjoy the scenery.

We visited an authentic Soul Food restaurant in Georgia called Mary Mac's Tea Room. If you have not been there before, I totally recommended. The food is home made and it's absolutely delicious. I didn't eat the bones of the chicken because I didn't think it would be appropriate in a restaurant.

The PCOS walk was great! 

It was wonderful to see women of different race, age, ethnicity and weight. We are truly a random 1 in 10 bunch and it was great to see us all there walking for the same cause. It was a great experience and I'm glad that I was able to live that. I really want to thank Manuel and Idalmi for their support. They have seen me struggle and they keep me strong with their love and their willingness to put up with my craziness. I may not say it often but I do appreciate you guys. 

Until next time!

Canada in the Spring?

Los cerebros que se van y el corazon que se queda

El ensayo: “Los cerebros que se van y el corazón que se queda”, de Magali Garcia Rami es magnifico. Me hizo pensar mucho en mí misma porque mi familia inmigró a los Estados Unidos cuando yo apenas tenia 4 años. Lloraba todos los días, extrañando como nadie se imagina a mi país. Especialmente a mi madre que aún seguía allá. A los 22 años que tengo ahora, ya estoy acostumbrada a vivir aquí. Pero no hay día que no piense o hable de mi país y de esa vida cotidiana y tranquila que se vive allá. García Rami menciona en su ensayo que los inmigrantes o cerebros tienden a reunirse hablar de el país que tratan de no añorar y esa es la realidad.               Cada vez que viajo a la Republica me toma unas semanas adaptarme. Ya adaptada, no quisiera regresar a esta país al menos que no sea de visita. Las reuniones entres vecinos, la confianza, y ese precioso mar que nos rodea, me convierte en una persona tranquila y en una persona ...

A Lost Story #NationalNovelWritingMonth2024

 I watched a love story, a telenovela, many years ago.  I was maybe between the ages of 5-7 when they played it on TV. Something about that telenovela has lived forever in my mind. I thought that maybe with technology advancing we could see the story again. After years of waiting, I found the director (I love the power of the internet) and he gave me the terrible news that...unfortunately, the story was lost forever.  I may not be able to watch it again, but I would like to write it down in my own words. This is my project for the rest of 2024 and part of NANO WRIMO 2024. What are you writing about for the month of November?

Quotes From Books I Read:

This quote is one of my favorites from "The Mountain Is You." As I enter the second part of my healing journey it can be difficult to move forward with a positive attitude when things aren't going well. This quote reminds me that difficult times are part of the journey and not to give up! “Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked and understood. It doesn’t matter. The people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of being understood, you’re going to be seen. All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are.” ―  Brianna Wiest,  The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery
