Just Because I’m Crying Doesn’t Mean I’m Sad (Fragmented Fridays)

Charles Dickens quote about cryingI’m one of those people who cries all the time. I cry if I’m happy, I cry if I’m sad, I curse if I’m angry and then maybe I’ll cry. I find myself crying at work very often. Not because I’m unhappy, I cry because I write posts about stories and the stories make me cry for all sorts of reasons, good and bad. I’m so lucky I work from home because I think it would be really distracting to have to share an office with me. I’d been known as “the crier” in the soggy cubicle.

So, I spend a lot of time writing every day and I write a ton of posts for my job at MamásLatinas, but I rarely share them here, I’ve decided that needs to change. On Fridays, I’m going to share some links to posts I’ve written throughout the week for my day job that may be of interest to my favorite internet peeps in the world: you, the readers of this blog!

So here goes…a little sampling of what I wrote this week…

  • If you have not seen this video of a 2-month-old saying, I love you, you really should. It will do your heart good.
  • This on the other hand is absolutely terrible. Some parents who must have misplaced all good sense forced their 11-month-old daughter to parasail by herself.
  • Here are 10 things I will teach my Latina daughters and yeah the “Latina” part matters.
  • Gwyneth Paltrow could totally learn a lesson from Angelina Jolie about when it’s not okay to complain.

So inter-peeps, what have you been up to this week? Workin’ on anything? Let me know, por please.

And now your Friday Fortune Cookie

(don’t forget to add “in bed” at the end, if you are so inclined):

Speak up, nobody can read your mind.

    I heard the comments both women made. Angelina is a little more in touch with the reality of the world. Gwenyth doesn’t seem to have a clue.

    The stupid things people never cease to amaze me. I watched the baby strapped into a para sail. That is awful. I consider it child abuse. You say it was a promotion?
    I would not want to join any customers of that crazy outfit. Stunts like that also has me doubting their safety procedures in general.
