That there’s a reason, a season, and a lifetime, and people to fit each one. Thank you for being part of my life.“An invisible thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break. May you be open to each…

For el cafecito – that sweet octane with espumita that lifts spirits and an aroma worth bottling. [Yes, soy Cubana, and Café Cubano runs through my veins]. Thankful (particularly on this rain-induced sleepy day) for this tradition, among many, and especially grateful for the times spent enjoying los cafecitos with family and friends….

Thankful for the half-full I’ve been given; praying for the refills to keep coming; hopeful ’bout the half that will follow. Keep the faith my friends….

Danny graduates today. Wow, time’s flying, just flying. He had a very good run at Immaculata-La Salle, and we are immensely grateful. Wishing the class of 2013 much success in the years to come. We are so very proud of you Danny! You are blessed and we know you’ll put that to good use….
