Have you ever read the New Testament? Since I have not personally witnessed any cases of exorcism, I have always wondered how casting out demons would be relevant to our day. I have come to understand that negative thoughts and self-talk are the modern-day demons we must constantly cast out. I believe we all have …

A few days ago, I had the pleasure to be a guest on Dr. Paul Jenkins’ podcast Life On Purpose. It was a fun interview because he is an advocate of Positive Parenting just like I am. I love sharing my story because it is my life mission and one of my passions to make …
In fairy tales, the mirror usually shows us our true selves. And the mirror never lies. It tells us truths we would not rather hear; it shows us inner truths we’d rather not see. The mirror always reveals the true character, true feelings, and true intentions. I always believed this detail to be extremely impressive and …

As you may already imagine, date night is a rare commodity in our household, but that didn’t start when our sweet baby was born. Our first date was on Valentine’s Day, 2012 (it’s scary that it hasn’t even been two years ) and on that day I was joking with someone trying to freak him out a …
It’s that time of year when we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. and we see everyone sharing his quotes all around the web. I have a feeling that Martin Luther King Jr. would feel better if the words he eloquently spoke from his heart were being practiced. It is nice to see, though, when many …
My grandfather’s name was Manuel Guerrero, therefore, my second last name means WARRIOR in English. He embodied his last name, and that made many admire him to the point that it was contagious. I was talking about this at the Women Warriors show where I was interviewed last Wednesday about Balancing Your Passions. This is …
