Portrait of My Grandmother
My 93 year old grandmother Isidra Toledo (or “Apo” as we like to call her) is a very special lady to me. I am who I am today because of her. Every time I see her I’m reminded of the times when she would babysit me while my parents were at work. I must have […]

What Inspires You? Pt. 1
This is my first post in what hopes to be a long and perhaps never ending segment on inspiration. Sometimes we lose track of what inspires us to create. I know that I’m guilty of this quite often. We are too busy trying to pay the bills, get to work on time, driving the kids […]
