About me

Me at a sunflower farm
I'm a Costa Rican girl that loves God, family and life. I love traveling, languages and baking. My goal with this blog is to share personal experiences in my life as a college student at the age of 40. That's right! I'm what you would called a non-traditional freshman. I hope to grow in this new journey and inspire someone along the way.

History of Valentine's Day

Image
To love or not to love? To believe in love or in sin? That last one is the real question when it comes to the history of Valentine's Day. While most think the holiday has Christian origins, others point out some very possible pagan, Roman ones. The truth is both. Valentine's Day is a day originating in some very un-Christian practices that was later claimed and reinvented by the church. Reading about the day of love can be both confusing and depressing. Confusing when it comes to pinning down the true author of such a romantic day because there are at least seven different theories that presume to be the real explanation of its origin. One of the most compelling pieces of history has to do with the legend that Valentine's Day was created to commemorate the death of at least two martyrs in the Catholic Church.  A priest that was killed in 270 CE by the emperor Claudius II Gothicus, who wrote a love note to his jailer's daughter and signed it as "Your Valentine...

Fact: In 1868, President Andrew Johnson became the 1st United States President to be impeached.

U.S. House of Representatives In light of current events, should we be concerned about impeachment being the new way to get even with our president? Is impeachment going to become the way how we handle disagreements in our government policies? It seems like impeachment is definitely drawing more and more attention in the last twenty years of our government's history. The first American president to be impeached was Andrew Johnson, in 1868, to be exact.  After him, history does a big jump to 1998. That year, president Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives. And right now, we are facing the impeachment of our current president, Donald Trump. I find it interesting that there is a time lapse of 130 years between the first impeachment in our country and the second one, but between the second and our current situation, we only have 21 years.  This fact makes me wonder if this is a result of how we are dealing with situations in our government in more rece...
