LONG BEACH, Calif. -- In honor of Latino Heritage Month (http://www.hispanicheritagemonth.org/Home_Page.html), I will be launching an International Latina Day of Gratitude Day on October 15. It will be a day of recognizing and giving thanks for the cultural ROOTS (http://zulmaramaria.com/) that give us the WINGS to FLY!!! Through being grateful for who we are, where we come from, and what our unique culture has to offer us, we can soar to heights unknown heretofore. Let us take this month to give thanks for all we have been given and all we are able to do. Let us give thanks for all the little things in our life that make a difference.

Happy International Latina Gratitude Day!!!

Please go to Latina Gratitude (http://www.facebook.com/groups/207126769456433/) and post what you are grateful for that make you uniquely you, grounds you in your cultural heritage, and allows you to reach for the stars and land on the moon!!!

Let’s raise our collective voices and start being the change we want to see in the

world.

To honor and celebrate the International Latina Day of Gratitude, my poetry book, My Life if My Message will be FREE on that day. Stay tuned for more information and your chance to get a FREE download!!!
