Good Bye 2014: End of Year Review

2014 went by extremely fast. I remember bringing in the year and now we are 1 day from bring in 2015!
I was adamant about being on top of my blogs. Yes, more than one, because I started an art blog too. I really really tried, insert a really sad face here. As much as I tried to juggle school, homework, work and life all together it was impossible to give my all. I was stretched too thin. 

Creativity Runs in the Family

With the artist Leon

For years I have been attracted to art, only a few years ago I started getting my hands dirty and actually started to make it. My sisters and I all have a creative side. My sister moved to California a few years ago in pursuit of her own creative dream of acting and her passion of the theater is paying off.  She has been busy auditioning, being in several plays a made television appearances and now she has her first film opportunity, Dark Consequences. (Everyone should go like their page and watch the preview) <<< Especially because she is my sister.

Celebrating Dia de los Muertos

I'm thrilled our new generation is exploring Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead and learning more about this long time tradition. This year I saw so many people with their faces made up in the traditions that normally you only see in other countries that take this celebration seriously. 

Here in Houston we had the opportunity to see a play named Nuestras Vidas (Our Lives) by Manuel Nava Leal. I have to say that it was a play worth watching. It is playing all weekend at Talento Bilingue de Houston located near Downtown Houston. 

We attended yesterday on opening night which fell on the 1st day of the celebration of Día de los Muertos. I do not want to say anything about the play (you should watch it yourself) but I will say that the plot falls perfectly with Day of the dead. Leal put together a very interesting story line. I'm looking forward to any new projects he may have.
