How to Throw a Mexican Inspired Super Bowl Party
One of my spiritual advisors suggested that whenever I have an issue or I am stuck, emotionally, physically, spiritually, creatively-- with me or someone -- I ask myself two questions:
Where do I need to see grace?
Where do I need to see poetry?
I continue to be humbled by the deep wisdom that resides in my questions. I used to want an answer to everything. The journalist within. Now, I am more patient, with myself, and with the questions. I am inspired to practice Rainer Maria Rilke's idea of living the questions.
"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked room and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would bot be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."

Should We Celebrate Hispanic Heritage? But of course...
Check out my latest column on CNN where I explore the significance of our nation celebrating Hispanic American Heritage.
(CNN) -- From the White House to statehouses across America, from Main Street to Wall Street, there will be many commemorations marking Hispanic Heritage Month, which officially kicked off on September 15 -- but does all the hoopla matter?
Yes. All the proclamations, mariachi music and exultations, even the tacos served at these tributes are necessary -- especially if, beyond cocktails and soggy nachos, everyone takes the time to learn the stories and recognize everyday Hispanic American heroes who gave and continue to give of themselves to this nation.
My breakup with high heels... the end of a love affair
I've had a life long love affair with high heels. But a year ago, when I tripped and almost fell on a pile of dog dung, and my heel went one way and the ankle another, I knew it was time to give them up. There are no sensible heels anymore.
I share my break up story w Latina magazine in this month's issue. It's on newsstands now.
