Do you believe in coincidences?

I think everything happens for a reason, including the rare “coincidence” of running into my good friend Val Roxas* and her good friend, Ruby, in the least likely of places – Las Vegas!

This chance rendezvous is exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. Our time together also led us to the often ignored but ever present topic of “CRAB MENTALITY.”

It’s been a while… so I wanted to tell you about something I did yesterday that I’ve never done before.

If you’re like most people who went to school in the U.S., you’ve probably NEVER heard of Larry Itliong.

Or his important role in the Farm Worker’s Labor Movement. Or the fact that he worked closely with Cesar Chavez.

Most people don’t know about Larry… until now.

You might have noticed that I’ve lapsed in posting and sending out emails the last couple of months.

Reason being, burn out is REAL.

After discovering I was part Jewish from my 23andMe Results, I decided to do a comparison to see if Ancestry.com would come up with the same DNA results.

I was SHOCKED what I found out.
