Introducing Maria Blanca

So, now I've started a blog, and I'm at a loss for what to say. As I was driving home from work this evening, I thought, "Wow, Mary. You have created something that has the potential to be the absolute most boring thing ever."

But never mind my silly second-guessing. I'm excited to be doing this, and that's what counts, right? If no one follows but my ever loyal Mum, whatever, eh?

One thing I can and will do is introduce myself. Maria Blanca's the name, and half-Mexican's the game. Just kidding. I have some close friends who are from Mexico, and my sis-in-law (whom I absolutely adoOOOore) is also Mexican. Hence my connection to the Spanish-speaking world. FYI: I don't really know much Espanol.....muy poquito. =)

I write from atop my 5th floor studio apartment overlooking the city.....that's code for I live in a dorm. Good news, though: I'm graduating this spring!

Colors are so fascinating, aren't they? 

Creamy dots covering a satin-y black blouse;

green crocus heads slipping unnoticed from winter's bond;

 bursts of golden silver peeking from gray clouds; 

warm orange-y and yellow lights dotting the buildings of downtown;

 the swirling of rich brown and tan as coffee and creamer mix; 

the purple canvas of a night sky, sprinkled with glorious stars...

What color is hope? 

Hope is rainbow, 

Spectrum full of a promise that will come true.
