I’ve been throwing out a lot of trash and old things that no longer serve me. Este es el tiempo en cual las semillas están debajo de la tierra preparándose para renacer en la primavera. Ahorita mi alma absorbe cada gota de lluvia. Cada una alimenta mi crecimiento y metamorfosis. Otra vez me preparo para crecer y florecer.

I started this year salsa dancing. I got home and realized my car had been towed. This morning began at 6am at the impounded vehicles lot. It was discouraging and shitty, but I saw it as an opportunity to surrender. I don’t have to do it alone. I reached out for help and was met with love and grace. After all that was done, I went home and slept like a baby. I woke up, grabbed coffee, and walked Chancho to the dock. I wrote and processed and prayed. He roamed and got yelled at by a rich white lady. We both enjoyed the lake and fresh air. 2019 it’s nice to meet you. https://www.instagram.com/mariposagloriosa/p/BsG0UIthOOG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=umj8mcxpdy5z

Last year I learned to love myself through suffering, an act of survival. This year I hope to love myself through joy, a way of fully living. I’ll channel in la reina Celia Cruz and tell mi corazón, “La vida es una hermosura, hay que vivirla.” #kimguerra #brownbadassbonita (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsGqc70BkzU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2l9gmd4ylxcl
