Hello Jackie, I just wanted to say I absolutely love all your posts & can relate to them all. I love this one in particular because being Hispanic we often find our selves with the fam bam watching sabado gigante 🙂 I love that you tell everything like it is good and bad. you are an inspiring individual & will love to continue to see all your future endeavors. More importantly watching your pregnancy and seeing you juggle it all gave me that little push I needed to start trying for baby #2.Working full time as accountant,trying to start a business & being a madre…is tiring!! Having a husband and family that supports me entirely helps me be who I am today and where I plan to be, this post also reminded me of that ;). So when you have your down days as we all do…remember you have many that you inspire. These to quotes come to mind when I read your story. “There is no greater challenge than to have someone relying upon you; no greater satisfaction than to vindicate his expectation.”-Kingman Brewster “Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, “She doesn’t have what it takes”; They will say, “Women don’t have what it takes”;” -clare boothe <3 RosArt CreationsNOVEMBER 16, 2011 10:27 AM
Rosalie! How am I just seeing your post- forgive me.. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful message with me. I can’t really explain how it makes me when someone tells me they are inspired by my blog, business, crazy family, life etc.. I just feel like it’s our total responsibility as people, women, moms etc.. to make each other better. And if you read my stuff you may know, I WAS MOST CERTAINLY NOT ALWAYS THIS WAY! Learned the hard way and realized I needed a life over-haul! This world is a HUGE place but I think we are all connected to everyone & everything. I have a passion for writing, my family, my business and doing something with my life before I wake up and realize it’s flashed right before my eyes.. I also think every day is a gift and you’ve got to live it with Gusto & Complete Honesty! Thanks for the quotes, for making me feel understood in a world where I often think I’m kinda weird and for now leaving me in hormonal tears.. 😉 Adelante Mujer! Obstacles only exist if we let them!

Seriously People ( Rosalie!) you have no idea what this stuff does to me! I always say, human connections make the world go round and our lives are not about stuff, fame & fortune.. that’s all garbage! life is about people, being connected to each other and loving this life like lunatics! thank you for these messages which literally cause me mild emotional break downs that freak out my husband and he consoles me by petting my head like a puppy! but, they also validate that i am finally doing something right with with my life & that’s really all i ever wanted!
Sending you so much love, respect & admiration & That funny little thing that gangstas do when they say wass-up to their homies- (you know, that thing where they don’t say words, they just pop their chins up at you!)xoxo- Jackie
