Happy Spanish Birthday to Me !

My b-day today ! (well really was supposed to posted Oct 9)



A different one in Spain ! Without my kids :( but will make up for it by doing a little shopping on my own and reading in the park while hubby explores Seville some more .
I packed my new Micheal Kors knapsack ( my b-day gift to me ! ) on my back with a blanket pillow and book and I  will shop and find a beautiful park with fountains and flowers and olive and lime and orange and pomegranate trees ( basically every corner ! ) to park myself on a bench and read :)

At 4-6pm treating my sista to the Roman bath spa we found and booked 30 mins massages for some quality girl time .
Then the much anticipated Italian dinner tonight !!!! Can't wait for those grilled veggies and homemade pasta ( love the succulent way my niece describes food )


So what was I most proud of this year ?

1- my relationship with Beauty . Our scoliosis journey together and making it beautiful . Getting her more and more each day . My perseverance 

2- my marriage . 19 years and counting . I am proud that we never gave up . That we keep on and on through the good and the bad . I have found a lot of peace in my marriage .And alot of pride in our resilience and committment together as a couple. I feel very much in  love.

3- that I have been successful so quickly in being a full time entrepreneur . Sometimes I am scared to open my eyes and see it was just a dream ? Can this continue ? I hope so !!


Things I want go focus on this year :

- health . Monkey bar gym workouts have begun but also making walking yoga hiking skiing part of what I love to do and not only what I feel I need to do . Active .active as a couple 
And good getting to a place where I can eat just eat healthy vs low carb to maintain of lose weight . I need  find my place with food . I had done really really well but still some place for sure to improve 


- my company . I want to build something extraordinary .and I will . There will be different stages of this company dependent  of where I and at with my life and family .  But one day I want to
Be travelling the world .. Speaking on cruise ships ... Taking my family with me ... And maybe even having one of two of my family members in my company with me . I want a whole lot of Spain in the future !  This year is the beginning of what I thought would always be mine :)


My birthday was truly lovely . I shopped for a few things to bring back to the kids and my mom and bought myself a nice sweater and makeup case . Then had the most delicious pizza ever with my sweet hubby ... Then the spa with sista and we had so much to talk about and get caught up on . Then a private violin concert from our very talented nieces and then the best pasta ( penne arrabiata EVER) 




The resto was set in a sweet outside courtyard and we had such a great time chatting and laughing over grilled veggies tossed in spices and olive oil and different homemade pasta. 
 Back at the apartment I had a happy birthday violin duo serenade me and my brother had gone out and bought a big selection of cakes to choose from with candles and prezzy :)

I just felt really loved

We all went to bed knowing that our sleeps would be short since the train very early to Madrid to catch in the morning 






It's going to be a good year. Caro6 told me it will be my year professionally. Simply.I believe her-she is always right:)
