I am a native New Yorker of Cuban descent. A widow with two wonderful sons...ages 28 and 19. My journey in life has been filled with plenty of highs and lows, but always a learning experience. Life has never been boring, and I cherish my blessings each and everyday. If there is one thing I wish to impart from my journey of life, to those family members, friends, and perhaps all those who drift in and out of my life even just for a fleeting moment...is learn not just to survive, one must embrace life and learn how to LIVE.
