About the Blogger

Nice to meet you!

Although the African people may tell you otherwise, my given name was Lisa Sanchez (remind me to tell you the African name banner story another time), with a surname upgrade to Martinez after our June 2011 nuptials.  I am a lover of both the written and sung words, hence I decided to join the masses and blog it out. Over two years ago I was laid off, and decided to take that as a profound “closed door open window” opportunity in my life. Honestly, it truly ended up being one of the best things that has ever happened to me!  Take hope, those affected by unemployment – God has not forgotten his promise, He has a plan!

God has created me to be passionate and gifted in several areas, and I desired to stop living other peoples’ dreams and begin a pursuit after my own.  Writing is one of my passions, so thank you for stopping by to share in this expression of myself.  My creativity is most often expressed through writing, music, art, and in my work in Marketing & PR. When asked “what am I?”, besides the obvious answers of God’s Princess, friend, wife, daughter and little sister, my next favorite line is “a Hungry Mexican” since my ancestry hails from Mexico on my Father’s side and Hungary on my Mother’s (God rest her soul).  The Top 10 Adjectives/short answers that I wish to describe me besides that currently are: gourmet junkie, artsy-fartsy, melodious, optimist, a believer, blitheful, class n’ sass, beer snob, and cerebrally emotive.
