As women, we are most frequently the ones who take care of household tasks. We are primarily responsible for child care.

Latino Romance!
I hope that you can celebrate the various kinds of love you find in your life... Falling in Love Only Takes One-Fifth of a Second A new study conducted by a Syracuse University Professor Stephanie Ortigue found falling in love can elicit the same euphoric feeling as using cocaine, AND also affects intellectual areas of the brain.

Inspiration and Motivational Ideas
What is inspirational and motivating is different for everyone. What we need may shift from moment to moment, but it helps us to build up our toolbox of ideas to keep us going, and so we have the right thing to pull out when we need it. Our Powerful Latina interviewees have suggested many things that they find useful for them. See which of these resonate for you, and add your own ideas as well. Maria...

It's too often that we take for granted the little things. Especially when we're moving so fast... Our lives are full and busy, and as Latinas, we have a lot on our plates!
