How often do you look deep within your soul and search for the things that make you who you are, the moments that make your eyes shine with pure joy... that make your heart warm and bring a child-like smile to your face.

Last Tuesday we had our weekly spirituality night and the theme was an "I am from" poem. I didn't have to think too much before my heart connected with all the moments that bring me home, wherever I may be.


I am from going to the Plaza in Allende on Sunday nights after mass and eating caramel-filled churros and hot dogs with salsa.

I am from kisses on my forehead from the man I prayed to God for.

I am from riding my horse at Papa Carlos' ranch. Riding as fast as Valentina can go, letting her take me places no one else can. Being wild & free spirits together. 

I am from bombarding my grandparents with kissies until they laugh so hard they tell me to stop, but I still don't. 

I am ONE with nature. 

I am from exploring new places and feeling free but safe with my soulmate by my side. 

I am from sweating like a pig while dancing in a small salsa bar with my friends, drinking a mango mojito...or two. 

I am from quiet spaces where my thoughts speak and my soul feels joy to BE. 

I am from laying in my hammock and reading a book while the birds sing to me. 

I am from thinking I would never be able to sleep on the same bed with someone who snores, until I slept with Lucas, my schnauzer fur baby. 

I am from holding my handsome brother's hand while we pass by a pretty girl. No, Im not jealous. 

I am from the PRESENT where the sun shines bright for everyone. 

I am from GOD


Where are you from?
