I’m still playing catch up with all the things that took place during my blog break a few weeks ago. During that time, three important people in my life graduated. The first was my sister-in-law Marcela who graduated from nursing school. The second was one of my best friends, Marie, who after years of summer, evening and weekend classes finally graduated with her MBA. And last but not least, my mother who also completed her master’s degree. I’m so proud of all three ladies and all the wonderful things they’ve accomplished. All these success stories got me thinking about what success means in my own life. For me, it is not a prestigious degree, a fancy house, exotic vacations or a large bank account. It’s doing the thing you love and being surrounded by the people that matter most. It’s like mama Oprah says “The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.”

Your Mom looks like your sister. Your younger sister ; )
She is so beautiful! And so is your Daddy. In a boyish way, of course.
Congratulations to the beautiful girls in your life that are achieving their dreams.
Wishing them lives filled with success of all the right kind!
Love, UNsuccessful Becky! ; (

Wow, I thought your mom was your sister – she’s beautiful!! And how lucky are they to have such a talented photographer taking photos of these moment?? :)
i totally agree. i’d say that success is setting a goal and attaining it. the goal itself doesn’t REALLY matter – just that you have one and are taking steps to get there.
