Carta a mi amiga S o X
Look at yourself feeling bad for getting older, you are only 45, not even half way done with your life. Sure boys don't look at you the way they did 20 or even 10 years ago. Maybe you don't look at yourself the same way either. You are concerned because your health is not the way it used to, your body is not the way it used to, your brain and hormones are not the way they used to. There's always room for change, change the channel, change the tune, change the environment. You can do it, you've done it before, you've done it with those kids depending on you; you can do it an any moment you set your mind to do it. It's only a matter of deciding what you want and when you want it, how you want it. Be specific, give detailed instructions and be ready to receive whatever you wished or asked for.

Hola Sarita,
Estoy lista para escribirte una carta positiva, estoy muy orgullosa de ser tu mamá y de la mujer en la que te has convertido. Eres generosa, eres educada, eres considerada y tienes compasión por la gente que te rodea. Agradezco tu compañía cada vez que manejas desde Hemet hasta mi casa que es tu casa, te toma una hora de camino, yo sé que es lejos y que tienes muchas cosas que hacer y aún así decides venir a vernos. Agradezco el que hayamos elegido venir juntas a este planeta y compartir nuestras vidas, sé que no todo ha sido color de rosa, sé que no he sido la mejor madre y que todavía continúo equivocándome y aún así encuentras razones para agradecerme el que hayamos ido a Disneylandia cuando eran niñas y te asombras de tu niñez, me preguntas ¿Cómo le hiciste mamá?
Trato de mostrarte respeto tanto a tí como a tu Hermana, trato de recordarme que ya son adultas y que ustedes toman sus propias decisions, trato de no intervener, -a menos que crea que necesitan una opinion honesta-. Y trato de portarme como un testigo silencioso, aunque como madre a veces no es fácil. Sigo practicando y espero que nuestra relación mejore con los años y con las décadas. Things are looking up for all of us♥

How to fix a conflict.
I just realize that the best way to fix any relationship is by writing a letter, it has to be done in a loving way, even if you want to lash out at whoever you are having a problem with. The best way to solve it is to write a letter and apologize, even if you think there's no need to apologize, invent or make up a reason. An apology is needed even if you think you've been wronged. Maybe explain what you need or what you are lacking from that person, whatever is that you think that person could or should do to fix it, or to help fixing it. Then find of make up a reason to say thank you to that person. Dig deep inside and find it in your heart to say thank you, write the letter, wait at least twelve hours. Twenty four hours is even better. Then report back to me and I'll tell you what your next step is. No cheating, you have to write the letter first and make the effort of finding the following points:
*Done in a loving kind, compassionate way.
*Apologize even if you think you are not at fault.
*What is it that you need or you wish that person would do different.
*Find a way or invent a reason to say thank you.
For my husband
I thank you for being there for me every night, I thank you for taking care of me with compassion while I was not only sick but ill. I thank you for putting up with my sharp tong and my telenovela tantrums. I thank you for loving me even when I don't know how to love myself. I thank you for sleeping with me and loving me even when I felt so bad and low that I didn't think I needed a shower that day. I thank you for providing for me and my daughter while I am taking a six year break from earning a real income and working at finding myself. I thank you for allowing me to demand from you what I am suppose to provide for myself. I thank you for overlooking the mess around me that I don't feel like cleaning up. I thank you for allowing me to look you down when I know I am wrong. I just want to thank you, instead of criticizing you or taking my anger out on you, tonight I think I should just thank you. Thank you for accepting me just as I am, that is what real love is.
For holding my hand when the sea was too rough in Hawaii, or just here next door in Laguna, I do need you and I do appreciate your strength disguised as a sweet low voice. I hope I can change my ways and work hard and clean and have an approving smile for you always. I hope I can be of support for you, I hope I can provide for us to go far and enjoy our company. I hope we can live a peaceful and happy existence someday somewhere. Maybe it can be done today.

Como hacerse ciudadano de Estados Unidos.
Es muy fácil llenar la solicitud de ciudadanía, solo son preguntas personales muy sencillas. No es necesario pagar a nadie para que llene la solicitud, lo único que si es importante es que tenga dominio del ingles para que no se confunda con las preguntas, en todo caso consulte con alguien que le pueda leer y traducir correctamente y ya esta.
El formulario es el N-400 y lo encuentra en la pagina del internet https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/learners/apply-citizenship
