I am enamored with the art of gift giving. It brings me a special thrill to carefully curate gifts for my friends and family. Last holiday season, I was at the cusp of starting the medications for my egg stimulation. When people asked me, “what do you want for Christmas.” All I wanted to doContinue reading “Holiday Gift Guide for that Special Someone Going Through Fertility Treatments”

A reintroduction.
Hello blog! It’s been a while. I am not quite sure where or when I abandoned you. I guess I could go back and re-read through my old posts and figure that out, but I won’t. So you may be wondering what I’ve been up to and why I feel the need to reintroduce myselfContinue reading “A reintroduction.”
The Gift of Presence
This morning’s devotional led me to the story of the prodigal son. To be honest, I’ve never related to this story. I was as far from a prodigal as one could be (as my Cuban brethren would say, “yo era nina de casa”). Today I realize how much I relate to the older son whoContinue reading “The Gift of Presence”
Integrity over everything
A year ago today, the rug was pulled out from under me and I walked through the most difficult 48 hours of my life. Despite walking in direct obedience, I was betrayed by a trusted person, who quite literally stole what was rightfully mine. The pain of that act of betrayal stung worse from theContinue reading “Integrity over everything”
A Primer on the Art of Legal Writing
If you distill the entire legal profession into one basic concept, the practice of law can be characterized as a group of skilled communicators. I love words. I always have. I love arranging words in a precise way to communicate with precision. As an attorney, I don’t believe in using two words when one willContinue reading “A Primer on the Art of Legal Writing”

Ok everyone, get comfortable. Today we are talking about money. As women, we are conditioned to believe that talking about money is rude and even vulgar. Respectfully, that is ridiculous. The greatest financial mistake I made in my life was not asking my mentors and my peers what my salary expectations should be out ofContinue reading “Normalizing Talking About Our Salaries and Compensation Packages”
A Heavy Heart & A Pen
It’s almost midnight. I’m writing this post from my favorite room in my home: my prayer room. My heart feels heavy tonight, so I thought that I would just write it out. Is that cool with you? Ok, good. You all know by now that I’m a lady esquire that loves Jesus. Can I shareContinue reading “A Heavy Heart & A Pen”
My Journey to Minimalism
Don’t you just love that rush of knowing with absolute certainty that you got a good deal on something? I love that feeling! When Jeff and I first started out, we lived in a 732 sq. ft. apartment in South Miami. The place was a dump, but the location and rent couldn’t be beat soContinue reading “My Journey to Minimalism”
Choosing Your Practice Area
Ask any attorney you know whether law school adequately prepares you for the practice of law, and I can all but guarantee you that 9 out of 10 attorneys that you ask will answer, “No”. The point of law school is not to prepare you for the practice of law, the point of law schoolContinue reading “Choosing Your Practice Area”
In Defense of Kim Kardashian
Listen, I can’t claim to be a fan of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. I have watched their show, I find them entertaining. But, I’m not buying lip plumper from Kylie or shape wear from Kim. But, if you ask me if I like the Kardashians, I’m not going to lie. Yes! I think thatContinue reading “In Defense of Kim Kardashian”
