A way to start 2008

The way you start your new year reflects what to expect for your whole year, so with my beloved one, we took a look on my teens bedroom and all can I said, it needed urgent intervention, in fact I had a picture I took one day they were on a run and left the room completely messed up and we decided to do something to encourage them to experience one of our ethos about environment. So we went to Ikea to get a Swedish meatballs breakfast to have some inspiration and while we walked on the store, we decided to do an X-treme make over for my daughters. They were at a friend's house, recovering from the new year celebration so the timing was perfect to do it. I remembered Tania once told us she wanted some kind of black and red colors and we start looking, thinking, choosing, and to make a long story short, we expended all day choosing even the small details. We also found that my car is able to carry on more than I though... after we finished I went to pick up Paulina and Tania. Everything was ready... when they walked in to their room they were really surprised... that, is a way to start 2008.

How important is to be surrounded by a nice environment, it will allow you to awake your creativity, to think, be inspired or even just to relax and enjoy.

The Carrasco's... A Little bit of history, Part III

I know just a little about my grand grand parents, but I have the names and a picture. Lucecita García Luna and Blas Carrasco, they had 19 kids… It's obvious there no was TV on that time. One of their sons, Eduardo Carrasco García Luna, married María Contreras Nuñez, who was daughter of Vicentita Nuñez and Teodoro Contreras. They had five kids: Natalia, Eduardo, Alicia Solveigh, Manuel and Lolita. My Grandpa Eduardo used to work for the city of Tlalnepantla and he was recognized because his honest service. He was also a talented self taught musician, he played piano, violin and other musical instruments. He was always a family man, and he died in the early 60’s. I barely remember when he past away. It is one of my first memories, and it was a painful process for the family. My grandma moved from Tlalnepantla to Mexico city to live close to his two sisters Margarita (Mago) and Linda. Grandma was a faithful woman. I remember her as a devoted Christian Catholic. She walked every day f

Truth or dare?

One of the things that is surprising to me today, is the low value that many people assign to their own promises. Teenagers don't believe their parents, because they never fulfill their promises; Couples say "I'll stand by you forever" and few months later they walk on the opposite direction; politicians make promises to earn votes, and once the election is done, they forgot about it. I remember one of the first things I learned from my grandmother it was the value of my word. "A gentleman always fulfill his promises, a man with no word has no honor" and I learned to live by that principle. Few weeks ago, I was having a discussion with one of the leaders on the youth ministry at Flamingo Road Church about some technical difficulties we were experiencing during the broadcasting of our Student Service online, and I challenged him to fix the failures, so if he would complete the task with no errors, I will do my hair like him...
