This is the day we have been given!

Written By T V Aguilar

Buenos días, mi gente. This is the day we have been given, a blessing from our ancestors and the Creator. It’s a gift, wrapped in the resilience of our roots, the strength of nuestra comunidad, and the beauty of our cultura. Let’s celebrate it, con corazón lleno de gratitud.

Today, we honor the struggles and sacrifices of those who came before us, paving the way so we can walk proudly in our truth. Celebrate the laughter of our familias, the warmth of our tierras, the sabor of our traditions, and the endless possibilities that lie ahead.

This day is ours to embrace—to love, to learn, to fight for justice, and to dream boldly. Let’s make it meaningful, honoring the past while building a brighter future. Hoy es nuestro día—¡vamos a celebrarlo con todo nuestro corazón!

T V Aguilar .. I was born in Denver, CO on a cold and snowy day in November 1967. Shortly after, I moved with “Mom” to live with my grandparents, Casimiro and Mary Gonzales in Rawlins, WY. I would remain there until age 9 and then another move to Cheyenne, WY. I graduated from Seton Catholic High School in 1986.

After high school, I drifted through life uncertain of the “career” or life choice. Maturity set in and I enrolled in college. I was the “re-entry” student as I fell in the older student category. I received my A.A. from American River Community College and then transferred to the University of California, Berkeley. I received my bachelors degree and then moved into a new “career”.

That career was with the federal government. Although happy and welcoming various new projects and endeavors, contentment and happiness were escaping me. I returned to school for Master’s degree, completing my MBA in 2009.

Today, I am retired, enjoying living on a small farm raising, training and caring for horses, a goat and a cat. I am grateful and appreciate living in A Corner of Nature!
