Dear Guapo,

I want to thank you for all of your support during this difficult time. You were the very first person I told about my diagnosis. Since we have just started our relationship, I thought you would run. Not only did you not run, you have been absolutely wonderful.

You've listened to me, encouraged me to fight, and prayed for me. Thank you for always checking in on me and making me laugh. Laughter is the best medicine. The moments we have spent together have been the highlight of this nightmare. I will forever be grateful that you came into my life.

Muchos besos y abrazos,
Monica

Google Me!

I always tell my students to google themselves once a month to see what's out there in their name. Today I took my own advice and googled my blog. I was pleasantly surprised to see the positive comments and mentions I received. I was especially happy to be listed as one of the "Best 50 Personal Blogs" by Personalblogs.org. This has been an especially trying week and finding this little treasure online made me smile.

RIP Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston's death is a perfect example of bad choices. Be careful who you let in your life. Surround yourselves with positive people that have the same type of morals and goals. Don't allow anyone to bring you down to their level or distract you from success.

ma, ma, MA!

If you haven't checked out the "Shit ----- Say" parodies on YouTube, you're missing out on an afternoon of laughter. Almost every ethnic group, religion, and sexual orientation are represented.

One of my favorites is "Shit Spanish Girls Say'. Now of course all Latinas do not say these things, but many do. This particular video highlights mostly Puerto Rican and Dominican females. Even if you're not Latino, I think you will enjoy this parody.

Nooooo!!

My dog Coda does NOT like to take a bath. If you even say the word "bath", she'll run. Taking her to be professionally groomed is a problem as well. The last time we took her to Petsmart to be groomed, she completely freaked out. When I saw this picture on Pinterest I knew I had to share this with everyone.

Laughing,
Monica

Friends are so important in your life.  Mi madre always told me growing up if you have at least one person you can trust and call a true friend, then you are blessed.

I'm happy to say that I have more than one true friend, but over the years, I realize that many people in my life are just acquaintances.  That's okay. It's good to have someone to just hang out with and talk to sometimes.  Just remember that acquaintances shouldn't be trusted with your deepest, darkest secrets.  They are in your life for fun times and crazy memories.

Your friends are who you trust, the ones that hold your hair when you're throwing up, the ones that tell you when you're acting like a bitch and tell you to stop. Your true friends would never try and hook up with your guy.  They wouldn't even consisder it!

Look around at the people you hang out with over the next couple of weeks and think about who your TRUE friends really are!

Besos,
Monica
