A different tomar

I don't have a tomar , but I've something that makes me feel with faith, safety, confortable and hope. It is God , my bible, and prayer. Some friends gave me my first bible 7 years ago. I keep it beneath my pillow. I like to read it before I sleep. I learned many things that have impacted my live. When I have a problem or worry, I try search for answers, praying to God how to exit my grief. for me, my tomar is God, prayer and the word of God. This is the vitamin of my heart and my soul that makes me feel with faith and hope.

Ok, so yeah, the pakul is a "men's" hat, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun!

Part Of Me

What pleasure it is to remember the place and the moment when my mom gave to me a ring on my 12 birthday.

It was at San Joaquin Mexico, In a very humble house.
When she called me to give me the present, she was standing up in the room very close to a petaquilla, and on the top of it was my present. On the wall in front of us was a picture of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Around the room were three beds, my mom and my dad's bed with a pair of pillows with a crown of purple and yellow pansies she embroidered. In the center of it said. With blue CAPITAL LETTERS." TE QUIERO MUCHO ESPOSO MIO". "I love you soo much my husband". On the other side of the room were my brothers' bed, and the bed my two sisters and I slept in together.

You know what? very close to it was my blue suitcase saving my first communion book, my rosary, some clothes and my red velvet handbag with a little currency.

My mom always made our birthday very special with very simple things. But that day there was a ring, a strong ring, it can stay with me all my life.

Who could imagine she will die six months later? It's why to me to wear my ring it's very significant. I never take it off, I don't see it like a tomar. It is part of me, part of my mom, something she touched.

When I see the ring around my finger, It's like if my mom is surrounding and embracing me, protecting me with her essence, her warmth and her sweet smell. It makes me feel comfortable, secure and safe.

Letter to Greg Mortenson

For the person who has the courage to try change the world, Greg Mortenson:

I'm in English class doing my best to learn and speak this amazing language, but sometimes I feel lost and confused; however, your book has shown me any dream in possible if you really want.
I have five kids, and three of those are in school. One day, they told me something about the pennies and a new school in the mountains. Sincerely I didn't listen, I just gave them the money with a "well if it's for a new school it's ok". Now I understand they were telling me about the "Pennies for Peace" and now I know the entire story about "the new school in the mountains" and the hard work that to entail.

Three Cups of Tea is a wonderful and inspirational story; therefore, make me feel more motivated to earn my goals.
If you could to build a school in Korphe of course I can speak English and be a teacher in the U.S.A
Thanks Greg.
