I can’t tell you how many times the word “focus” has grounded me, reminded me to slow down, to study the situation and to focus. In today’s busy world, it’s so easy to lose focus. There are so many things going on around us like work and personal time, meetings, networking events, appointments, the kids, your spouse, friends, sleep, and the stress of the evening news, the changing world, etc., etc. In reflecting back throughout the last 15 years, I am so grateful that God gave me the strength to overcome fear, the courage to overcome adversity, the intuitiveness to make the right moves, the favor, the love and the courage to reach for my dreams, and work hard no matter who, or what stood in my way. Thank you to my wonderful husband,Victor Padilla, a great man of God, and thank you for my wonderful children, Nikko, Michaela, Zion and Victoria! Thank you to all of my friends and clients, I am so thankful for your love and support throughout the years. As we head toward year #15, I am excited to announce that the 15th Anniversary edition of Latin Times Magazine will be the BIGGEST and most EXCITwww.latintimesmedia.com ING issue we have ever published!
