Jose Marti, the renowned poet and writer who led the Cuban independence
movement, once said that there are three things every person should do in his
or her life -- "plant a tree, have a son and write a book."
I have already planted a number of trees, fruit bearing and non-fruit bearing. In 2004, God gifted us with our first born... a son. And two other girls followed.
Now, I only have one thing left to do, write a book.
I've written a number of articles, some of them published in local papers and I was a contributing writer to Bo Sanchez' best selling book "40 Stories of Finding Your One True Love". But I don't think I would be able to write my own book. Even if I do, I don't think I'd be able to find a publisher. So writing a blog is the closest I could get to having the "written by" thing. I had a diary when I was younger, but a blog allows me to be more creative with the lay-out.
Life is a journey... and every journey unfolds a story worth writing and reading. This is my life and my journey, thus I get to write the story as I please. I hope you'll have fun reading my stories, I welcome comments and reviews.
Live life to the fullest!!!
Cheers,
