About Frida’s Cafe
¡Bienvenidos a Frida’s Cafe! I started this blog in 2010. I wanted to express my thoughts and opinions as a single woman in her late twenties. At the time, I was focused on my career, volunteer work, enjoyed solo traveling, and running. I enjoyed writing about all of it including sexuality, feminism, my personal journey…

Making time for…
In my last post I wrote about time and making time to do more of what brings me joy. After taking a life changing step last month, I have been focusing on using my time intentionally. I take time to think and practice self-love. Reflecting during this time has allowed me dig deeper, get out…

My reaction when I found out I was pregnant was not what you would expect
The day I found out I was pregnant wasn’t at all how I would have imagined it. I didn’t feel how I thought I would feel. I cried so much but not because I was happy, I was terrified. The circumstances were not ideal for a baby, the relationship wasn’t what a relationship should be…

#NaPhoPoMo 2013 Last Day: Look for the light
#Naphopomo is officially over and although I started a little late I’m proud of myself for posting 27 straight days.

#NaPhoPoMo 2013 Day 25: 10 months
It is hard to believe today he is 10 months, just 2 months shy away from being 1 year. I remember the days when I could take a photo with that zebra to show his growth from month to month. Now it is hard to get him to stay still. He crawls non-stop, stands on…

#NaPhoPoMo 2013 Day 24: Life changes
Last year life didn’t look or feel like this. I’m thankful for the changes Gael has brought into my life and all the little things he helps me value. He brings a different perspective, humility, hope and love I’ve never experienced. I’m thankful for this every single day. The photo above is a tradition I…

#NaPhoPoMo 2013 Day 23: Lunch alone
Today I had lunch by myself. This is a rarity for me nowadays. I used to do this all the time. Times have changed. When you are a parent eating becomes a rushed activity even more so when you are doing the single parent thing. I love eating with my little guy but I also…

#NaPhoPoMo 2013 Day 22: Beautiful Green
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to take photos at the Neighborhood Centers (NCI) grand opening of their Leonel Castillo Community Center located near downtown. I hadn’t posted any of the photos because I was waiting to give them to NCI. This is one of my favorite photos of the day. I noticed…

#NaPhoPoMo 2013 Day 21: A gloomy day
Today was one of those days the weather fits the mood- cold, rainy and gloomy. There have been a few clouds that have made the last few days a bit of a struggle for me. Do you ever have days when things don’t seem to go right? You try so hard to make things better…
