Bitter-Sweet but New Experiences on the Horizon!!!

Hola! Buenas mananitas (good little morning) to all!  I am excited because it is now official.  Now I can scream out the news from the bottom of my lungs. Those who know me personally know lungs would not be my first choice of word but if I used the word of choice, you'd probably think I'm weird or that I'm from Bufu like my youngest tells me I am!   Oops I derailed, so let me get back on track to my screaming!  I did it!  Monday I turned in my letter of resignation at work at the Central Business Offices of The University of Kansas Hospital.  It was a bitter-sweet decision for me.  But like I told all the wonderful people of Kansas, life is knocking on the door saying Mayra your time here in Kansas is done, time to move on! So what am I screaming?  "I AM MOVING BACK HOME TO MIAMI!!!!!!"

Yes, sirree I am!  The Motherly tugs are strumming at my heart and I am moving back home to beautiful and sunny Miami, Florida!  My daughters have expressed how much they need me, especially my youngest who is still in school at FIU, so there is no way I can say no to my most precious treasures.  Besides, not having to buy a plane ticket to see my my G-kids whenever I want to, is definitely an added plus!  The only sad note in all this venture, aside from missing all my friends, is that I am most tremendously going to miss my sisters Zara and Meri who live here in Kansas and are one of the main reasons why I move here 3 years ago.  I'm also gonna miss hangin' with Da Neph.  He's my dawg.  But, the most saddest note of all is that my Precious Treasure2 (middle daughter) has decided to stay in Kansas.  I'm surely gonna miss them sweet tender eyes in the morning.  If you have a heart you know how mine is feeling right this very moment. *sniff-sniff*

I do want to leave a special message to all the special people that in one way or another enriched my life while my stay here in Kansas:

I want to remind you ALL of the incredibly, extraordinary, beautiful, special, kind, loving, funny and strong souls your are.  Keep dreaming BIG!  You deserve all YOUR hearts desires!  I have been blessed to have known YOU!   And hey, if your journey ever takes you to Miami, I hope you remember me and come by and say Hola! Best wishes Siempre, tu Amiga Mayra

  
Anyway, there are new experiences on the horizons and I am excited!  I will close the Kansas chapter of my life only to open a new chapter.   I am going back home with new found perspectives in life and a new more grounded, happier, confident and stronger ME!  Plenty of work is involved with this move as I will be selling all of my furniture and other belongings!   I am going minimal!  Just taking with me special and treasured keepsakes.  As a matter of love, I just finished booking my flight early this morning.   Soon I will spiritually embrace my Precious Treasure2 and physically embrace my Precious Treasure1, my Precious Treasure3 and my G-Kids in Miami, Florida on the afternoon of August 12, 2012. 

And of course I can't forget the son-in-law, well my son, who understands my crazy ways...

Meet Shaun, talented artist, love of my Precious Treasure1 and the father of my G-Kidz
As I was saying, there are new and exciting experiences on the horizons and I am excited!  Let me forewarn you that I may be somewhat dormant for a while in blog world, but you have NOT heard the last of SimplyyMayra!  No way Jose!  As time allows it, I will try my best to peek in once and a while and play peek-a-boo with you!  So when you least expect it...BOOOOO!!!

Once again, thank you all for stopping by and sharing this special and precious moment with me!  Let's keep the love, support and inspiration flowing Siempre! (Always!) 

Tootles!

  2. Wow - this news is big! I wish you the best of all possible luck in the big move.

    I am moving too, but not in such a dramatic way (read, not as far).

    I really hope it goes well for you and you find it to be all you want it to be.
