Excuses

...so it's been over 7 days since I've written anything...

I am excusing myself due to the fact that I cut off a small piece of my finger off last Saturday night [9/24]. Nothing major, mostly just the fat and skin, but I completely cut it off! Of course I still went to work 2 hours later. Being the new girl who just got off orientation means you should probably be a team player and suck up the fact that your finger is bandaged and bloody and just go help them babies!

Of course, I later realized it wasn't the best to be working under those conditions, but I made do.

I'm writing this without my left pointer finger, and let me tell you -- it's so hard not to push the keys with my injured finger.

I'm currently reading two books: How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents and The Line of the Sun. 

I'm not the best at finishing books, so telling you all that I'm reading these two books will hopefully motivate me to get reading!

Yesterday I had an encouraging conversation with the only Hispanic male in my church (that sentence hurts). I also had an encouraging conversation with a group of ladies from my church that was great and healing, too. More to come on that...

Mimi.

Yo Soy Mimi. My face is brown, and my eyes are dark. My hair is black, with some rays of light. My height is short, and my feet are small. My language is Spanish. My heart is colored. My family united. My blood is mixed. My identity, also. My strength in the divide. In the divide. Spanish or English? American or Ecuadorian? Here or there? Why not everywhere? In the divide. In the divide, I consider myself blessed. Blessed to stand with people like Esther, Paul, and Jesus. Blessed to look up to those that have stood in the divide. Oh, am I blessed. Blessed to have an education. Blessed to have a job. Blessed to have a chance to vote. Blessed to have my faith on God. Blessed to know one day, equality will be restored. Blessed to know in Christ, there is hope. Hope. Hope for days when my brothers and sisters stop dying on the streets. Hope for days when my mothers and fathers stop being seen as "less than"

Blogeando

I have two blogs. This one here on Blogger and one on Wordpress . This one is meant more for me to share about my experiences as a 1.75-generation Ecuadorian-American. The WP one is for me to share anything that's on my heart, mind, etc...tough thing is being able to distinguish between what I do, think, or feel that's divorced from my identity as a Latina-Americana. Honestly, I don't think anything can be. So, maybe I think about this blog site as more of a platform where I can process things directly related to my cultural identity walk. I realize this post is a little useless, but this journey isn't, so whatever. (:

Amazing Ecuadorian Women

Read more about some pretty legit Ecuadorian women:  8 Ecuadorian Women to Celebrate During Women's History Month Reading this makes me very proud to be Ecuadorian. I realize the difficulties that are being faced in my country right now. The earthquakes have been so devastating. They have not only taken the lives of many, but are also costing my country millions of dollars to rebuild what was lost. I pray God would bring generous givers and help things to run smoothly and quickly in the stages of repair. I'm grateful I come from a history of strong women. Women who changed the world and made a mark in history. I pray I, too, can be such a woman.
