Working for Democracia USA (www.democraciausa.org) now. It's a cute little non-profit. Doing some good in the neighborhood. Yay!

Getting settled in Miami. Really liking my new apartment, but not too sure about the ladies just yet. I'm keeping an open mind but looks like I'm back to being so very single, haha.

I love that I'm so confident of my sexual nature that it attracts people that I never would expect. So freaking cool! I wonder what's up ahead?

I know that each day we learn something new, and that staying positive is so important, but I'm so honestly emotionally tired and drained, I wonder if I really am turning in the jaded person I always feared I would?

LA Pride was a blast. Met awesome people. Good times, good times! Weesaw! LOL!

I love to travel, and I was itching to get out of town so I hopped in the town and drove. I didn't have a game plan, where I was going to rest my head; all I had were my clothes, my car and my common sense. And what a wonderful adventure it was!

Yeah motherfuckers, at officially 4 p.m. today I become a Temple Alumni!!! Undergraduate is under the belt. Now just gotta knock out grad school and the PhD and we are back in biz! HA! Peace bitches!

You know what I did the other day? Instead of mailing out my Netflix movie, I dropped my cell phone in the mail box by accident. I ran into a policeman on the street and told him what happened, while, of course my cell phone is ringing inside the mail box. I went around the corner to grab dinner and the cop comes into the place about 15 minutes later and hands me my phone. Benevolent soul. Everyone starts clapping. So embarrassing. So funny.

The last thing that made me laugh out loud was when I was in the hair shop looking in the mirror. There I sat, in a purple apron, a hair full of green rollers covered by a clear plastic shower cap. I looked like I just landed from a distant planet- "take me to your people." Too funny.

The type of family I come from: Estan locos! But I love them all the same. Good people. Humble. Hard working. Immediate family is very open minded and accepting. And always taught us to treat others with respect.
My mother and father, despite our surroundings, ingrained
in my head to work hard, and try not to judge others until
getting to know them. They gave me the tools, I just took
them and ran with it. Other family members are a bit more
conservative, and old school. Just 'cuz they're
your family, don't mean they're your friends.

On a first date I expect nothing other then basic respect honesty and communication.
I don't place expectations in people because that
tends to lead to disappointment. In a sense, I allow people
to "dig their own grave." Keep it simple and
if the energy is right then everything will work itself
out.

I go dancing most weekends. Whether it is for work, or up
in a salsa club. Honestly, my favorite thing to do on a weekend
is relax and enjoy the simple things in life like walking
around in the city, people watching and reading a book.

I am a very spiritual person. I was not brought up in house
hold conforming to any type of organized religion. I have
a very personal relationship with the Higher Being, however,
I draw on many philosophies and disciplines, as well as
my own, in understanding the energies that the physical
and spiritual realms possess. I will say that a large part
of my ethics goes back to the Ancient Kemetic concept of
Maat: truth, justice, propriety, harmony, balance, reciprocity,
and order.

My most humbling moment was when I started intensively
working in community outreach within underserved communities.
It reminds me of my experiences growing up and makes me appreciate what I worked for, work for now, and will work for in the future.
This quote sums it up for me: "Giving, among its other
benefits, liberates the soul of the giver."- Maya
