As of today (September 2017), I’d say I’ve been to over 30 Relay For Life events (mostly in Nevada, with a few in Arizona and Utah), numerous Relay trainings and more committee meetings and team rallies than I can count. I guess you could say that I’ve been sucked into the grind of Relay, and…
Was it easy? Sort of. Did it take time? Yes, but I have spent countless hours and years devoted to celebrating, remembering and fighting back. If you were to ask some people around me, they might tell you that I bleed, breath, sleep and eat purple.
I found the following draft from last August tonight when I was looking through my #wordpress app. Over the past couple weeks, I’ve spent more time in hospitals than I care to think about. One of those, an elderly woman with pulmonary embolisms and the other, a young man with brain aneurysms. Fortunately for…
So I’ve been contemplating what my New Year’s resolution should be for 2016 and honestly it’s been a pretty difficult task. After spending too much time on Facebook just now, I came up with the resolution to strive to be happy this year. There has been so much death recently; making me once again…
Every once in awhile you need to take a break and do something to get yourself refreshed. I did just that this past weekend. Not by laying on the couch for two days watching sports, but rather sitting in a car driving all over Southern California. @conner_shep27 graduated high school this past spring and accepted…
I’m just going to admit right away that I have an addictive personality. One of those addictions is related to my competitive nature. Sports…badges…fundraising…steps…#wordswithfriends…#DisneyEmoji…you name it, if it involves others, I’m going to make a competition out of it. Lately (or maybe the last year and a half), brain sucking, mind numbing, time wasting @CandyCrushSaga and @CandyCrushSoda have…
So yesterday was a bit difficult. I had to say goodbye to my nephew who had spent the last six weeks in Vegas for summer vacation with his dad (mom lives in Southern California). Without going into the details, these past six weeks have been an emotional whirlwind…happiness, hurt, anger and just plain sad. Having no…
When I was growing up I spent a lot of time in the office of my dad’s auto shop garage at night. Which means I watched a lot of Pat & Vanna; Alex; and Sam, Diane, Rebecca, Carla, Norm, Cliff & Frazier. From a young age, I was in awe of the show Cheers (@cheersboston). I learned many…
As I was driving to work today, I started thinking about who I am…what defines me…(because I have been trying to complete my personal value statement for a class task I was given weeks ago). The first thing that came to mind was that I am a “behind the scenes, T-shirt & jeans” kind of girl.…
My name is Sara Velasquez (and that is me pictured above). Until today, I was completely anti blogs…didn’t (and not totally sure to this point) quite understand why people needed to share their innermost thoughts or write messages about random topics to be viewed by anyone on this wonderful platform we call the Internet. Blogging…
