Hello everyone, my name is Maritza, and it's been a long while since I posted, but here I am again. I had originally started this blog when I was going into the world of baking, which I love, and I self taught on a lot of techniques, and well it makes me happy. Who doesn't love a fluffy cake with fluffy buttercream icing....Ok ok...back on track LOL, I have a lot of stories to tell, specifically how life gets in the way. Hence the title to this post. During the past 2 years I have returned to the workforce in corporate America, only to find that aside from the friendships that I have created, it is not all it is cracked up to be. Money and moving up the ladder may seen enticing to some, but somehow it lacks luster. Many put their family and social life aside, and power to them if that is their goal. Then again we are all different in what we want. On another note, I was recently diagnosed with Chronic Migraines, Fibromyalgia, and a number of other suprising and unwelcome conditions. This really put a damper in my quality of life, but put things into perspective. It only took a year for all the symptoms to completely turn around what was once my life. I used to be able to participate in 5k races to raise funds for a number of issues, or walk in the park with my family, go to the GYM?? Silent and invisible illnesses that many do not understand or are afraid to question. Unless you are going through something, it is hard to understand just how much it takes out of a person. So remember next time you are with others, and there are people smiling, there is more than meets the eye. So let's be kind to each other and not judge, for we do not know what we cannot see. That is my intro for now, and I will rename this blog "Keeping up with Maritza". Because... that is what I am doing now. I hope to reach others with my blog, and please feel free to share your stories with me as I take you along for the joyride. My goal in life now is to enjoy it because as a wise person once said "Life is worth living".
Until next time.
