Trust Me!: #21 - I Just Can't See It!
http://trosteame.blogspot.com/2013/03/21-i-just-cant-see-it.html
By Margarita Hernández Contreras. Friday, March 15, 2013. 21 - I Just Can't See It! Three married couples gathered around my kitchen table. By now, it’s an old table with cheery hand-painted sunflower tiles. Initially, I thought I could offer some coffee and pastries and enjoy the camaraderie that we had been building the times we had gathered before this Sunday afternoon. So the party continues happily for everybody. The two kids are entertained watching The Perks of Being a Wallflower. So the musical &...

Trust Me!: May 2012
http://trosteame.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
By Margarita Hernández Contreras. Tuesday, May 29, 2012. 12 - A Why for Blogging. I sometimes wonder how that first rather violent awareness of self predisposed me to being self-conscious and my worst judge, almost expecting the worst from the beginning (a trend I hope I have defeated). The other memory that stands out in terms of what made me consider the possibility of me being worthy and valuable happened when I was 16 and in prepa. I don’t remember thinking anything, rather I felt a sense of in...

Trust Me!: October 2012

By Margarita Hernández Contreras. Friday, October 26, 2012. 15 - An Important Monologue. It’s been a long break, not that I really needed one, but since I didn’t keep my commitment of writing weekly, let’s say I did need it. Finally, sweaters are on! On another note, my house is on the market. The lovely home where I thought I would retire with Husband while from my rocking chair, I would admire my beautiful daughter living a wonderful life,. Home in on the market. Sigh. Now if a buyer would pop up!

Trust Me!: December 2011
http://trosteame.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
By Margarita Hernández Contreras. Friday, December 16, 2011. 44 - 2011, this is it! This is my 44th post. Just eight shy of 52. Considering that this is my first year blogging, trust me, I’m thinking 44 entries is a pretty neat accomplishment for someone as lazy as myself. So, yay me! My intention is to keep up the discipline of writing once a week in 2012. Who knows? Maybe I’ll reach that magic 52 and can boast of having written regularly once a week. Peace my friends,. Friday, December 9, 2011. The wed...

Trust Me!: #20 - My Daughter at the Piano: My Duty as a Mother

By Margarita Hernández Contreras. Friday, March 8, 2013. 20 - My Daughter at the Piano: My Duty as a Mother. To my daughter again. Last week I was pleasantly surprised by listening to my daughter playing the piano. This was unexpected since given our schedules I really don’t get to listen to her. I even had to tell Husband to put the TV on Mute so I could listen to the sweet sounds. Oh he devoured them! Her daughter, about 14 and whose name I can’t remember, studied piano. One day she taught me...From Na...

Trust Me!: April 2012

By Margarita Hernández Contreras. Sunday, April 29, 2012. 10 - Dear Peggy: Your Cara, my Valentina. Dear Peggy: After seeing your Cara in her beautiful prom gown, I started thinking about my own little girl and the journey she will begin this fall when she enters high school. My years in the high school equivalent in Mexico, were a terrible ordeal (at the beginning) and a most wonderful experience (at the end) for me. All in all, I was a subdued and good girl. I did try the cigarettes and alcohol, &#...

Trust Me!: #18 - My Second Mother
http://trosteame.blogspot.com/2013/02/18-my-second-mother.html
By Margarita Hernández Contreras. Sunday, February 10, 2013. 18 - My Second Mother. In fifth grade in California, my English and home teacher was Mrs. Debbie Moore. This grade was when I became an unrepentant reader and a devoted music lover, and Mrs. Moore played an important role in my life. So in that regard, I am indebted to her. Thank you, Mrs. Moore. My first books that I bought for me with my father’s money through a book catalog provided by Mrs. Moore were Harriet the Spy. Curiously, I would buy ...
