For the first time in three years, I was able to celebrate my mom's birthday with her. I thank God for allowing all of us to grow and evolve so much from Mama's example of faith. Stepping out in faith by uprooting herself and starting over in Missouri - albeit trembling in fear while moving forward - has shown us great things come to those who trust in him always. Thank God for his blessings, and thank you for using my Mama to show us we can all move in blind faith. I love you and am so proud of you, Mama. Happy Birthday! 🎉🎁🎂🥳🎈💜💚 (at Kansas City, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnn1ZVQu-uCAzmemI9-Boye7OJfdekIZp6lx8g0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yesterday we celebrated six years together. I'll never be able to comprehend how the years continue to fly by in a blink, but I'm so grateful the last six have been spent with you. ❤️ #Year6 (at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfiArAZJWQ-EWOx7yhcDJK3EIkRMqigX0s5GxA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I never cease to be amazed by God's goodness, and forgiveness. No matter how often and how badly I jack up in life, he's always there showing me how loved I am, in every facet. Thank you for your outpouring of love from both near and far. I cannot thank God enough for each and every single one of you. From myself and my flirty pup, Biscuit; laissez le bon temps rouler! 💜 #BirthdayBlessings https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb8_4TSL7I44TMUFfzeVgjzTvYjLMjbyfdm23M0/?utm_medium=tumblr

We know the famous 1st Corinthians verse that says, "Love is patient; love is kind..." In our almost six years together, I've learned that love is all of those traits, but also simultaneously, love is hard. Love is work. Love is consistency, and above all, love is a choice. Love is a path you choose to go down with someone you put your trust, your faith, and your heart. With everything I've battled as a woman and we've grown through as a couple, I'm grateful to have chosen this path with you. Happy Valentine’s Day, Sunshine.

Growing up with my mom was quite the Catch 22. On one hand, I had a young and vivacious kid who was willing to learn and explore everything with me. On the other hand, I had a young and vivacious kid who was still trying to learn who she was as a person and a parent. The second hand often led to moments when we both were trying to discover ourselves while balancing out the growing pains of life, and it doesn't ever seem like we would ever be able to coexist. Well, I'm happy to say that with a ton of work, perseverance, and understanding, you can get to a place where you not only appreciate but understand your kid parent. And there's no better day to make a note of the wonderful transformation I have witnessed my mom accomplish. She's been able to better herself and transform into someone we both prayed for, and that is what I will continue to pray and wish for you on your birthday, Ma. May your evolution continue, and the Lord's blessings rain abundant, always. Happiest of birthdays, Mama. I love you! 🎂🥳🎉🎁🎈💜💚 #BirthdayBlessings #BirthdayWishes https://www.instagram.com/p/CY7qvlWJ8ciT1kG16IwoKNjAYhUAmx7Ht8VmdA0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Right before my deadline for my capstone coursework, my Wi-Fi went out. In the midst of spiraling into a panic, my internet magically came back up, and my professor took my submission without a problem. After breathing a sigh of relief, I looked at the time and realized it was 12:07 a.m. on 12/07. I looked at her photo and could hear her laugh. Sometimes, the dearly departed just show up when you least expect. Thanks for the help, Tiff. I love you and miss you more than I can ever say. 💙 https://www.instagram.com/cubicanbabe/p/CXNRheIFQVc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Nothing hits you deeper than nostalgia. When Hamilton opened on Broadway, I knew I had to see the production that blended two of my loves of music and history. After five years of trying and 14-months of waiting, I got witness the excellent product and the overwhelming feeling of nostalgic longing to perform again. I don't know if that'll happen, but I'm grateful to have been inside "the room where it happens". 🖤⭐💛 #Hamilton #HamiltonOnHalloween #BroadwayInHollywood #Halloween2021 (at Hollywood Pantages Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVt7afGFlx8/?utm_medium=tumblr

“This is funny.” - Doc Holliday

I’m sitting here on what feels like the millionth Zoom session I’ve had this week.  I’ve gone through all of my To-Do lists, and am now working on one of my capstone projects.  With my Spotify library playing in my earbuds, I look over at Jake on the other side of my screen, and cannot help but feel that I’m on the brink of something.

Whether good or great, only God knows.  It’s an indescribable feeling that starts in the pit of my stomach, and flutters up into my chest.  I’m on the cusp of so many changes.

I’m slated to finish my undergrad degree in December, after 15.5 years in-and-out of the classroom, struggling to finish my courses.  I’ve started a Senior project as an ode to my time in wrestling, that’s picking up traction.

The LOML and I have been together a little over five years, and we’re still figuring out where the future will go and if there is actually anything to come.

Being an empath is a heavy burden at times, because with so many things to still accomplish tonight - I am inundated in my feels.  And all my mind does is keep repeating the scene where Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday in Tombstone, says as he lays dying; “This is funny.”

That one line, over and over again.  I can’t seem to figure out why.  Maybe it is because I’m reaching the light/end of my proverbial educational tunnel?  Maybe it means I won’t have to say “goodbye” to the pro-wrestling business after all?  Or maybe it’s because there is no certainty if there will or won’t be a future for me - that includes Jake. I’m anxious, grateful, happy and a little somber all at once, and “this is funny.”

62 years. 62 years spent suffering in silence. 62 years of being stripped of any liberties, privileges or rights. 62 years of broken hearts and shattered dreams, as Cubans fled for their lives in search of refuge. With the hopes they'd send for their loved ones again, they'd soon lose that same hope, when they realized that dream was gone the moment their beloved island faded into the distance. 62 years to end "the capitalist evil" in Cuba, only to inflict some of the worst inhumane evil himself. It is time to stand up and stand with the Cuban people, for they have suffered more than a lifetime's worth of unnecessary punishment. As the granddaughter and niece of Cuban immigrants, I have always prided myself in this being the "good half" of me. Now it's time to fight for that good half, and show our support! The people of Cuba need it and they need us. LIBERTAD! CUBA LIBRE! 🇨🇺✊🏻 #LIBERTAD #CUBALIBRE #LIBERTADPORCUBA https://www.instagram.com/p/CRQDWHrJ7Av/?utm_medium=tumblr
