Hello, Beautiful Souls! Let Me Introduce Myself 🌸

Hi there! I’m so excited to finally write my first blog post and share a little piece of my heart with you. First things first: God is my anchor, my guide, and the one who helps me navigate all the messy, beautiful chaos of life.

My name is Mirell, and I’m a christian, Mexican woman living in the U.S. since 2013. Love brought me here… though, well, that story didn’t exactly go as planned, lol. Life has its twists, doesn’t it?

I grew up as the only girl in my family, surrounded by strong, smart men—my dad, uncles, and cousins. I was always “the cute baby girl,” deep down that always hurt me, so I develop a fire in my soul that made me resilient to prove to everyone that I was more than that. Growing up, I often felt the need to prove that I was enough—and now, looking back, I realize I always have been. That little girl grew into an independent, strong, and confident woman, who knows her worth and her values. But not going to lie, one of my biggest fears until now is, not being enough.

School wasn’t easy for me. I experienced bullying that left deep scars, and even teachers and classmates sometimes joined in. But those experiences shaped me, too—they taught me empathy and made me someone who always tries to stand up for those in need. From that school came lifelong friendships, like my best friend, who’s been my sister since we were three years old, and even now lives in Canada. I can say I have a couple of solid friend that I will give my life for them.

I’m an endless romantic at heart. I love singing out loud, dancing, and chasing happiness wherever I can. My patience is huge… until it isn’t. I forgive easily, but I never forget—so if I ever reach my limit, there’s no turning back. I can be stubborn, dramatic, petty, and occasionally a little savage (oops!). Life’s messy, and so am I—but I promise I try to sprinkle love everywhere I go.

Confession #1: Yes, I forgive quickly, but sometimes… uggghhh. And in those moments, I secretly wish the person who hurt me would feel triple the suffering they caused me. 

I love pink and I consider myself the most girly girly (yes, even at my age!) and all things joyful, but I’m also honest about my darker sides. I can read people well, which means I know how to hurt if I wanted to—though I usually don’t. I can be bossy when I’m passionate, moody when I’m tired, and stubborn when I think I’m right.

Family is everything to me. I’m a proud mom of two amazing kids and the “mom” of my 13-year-old ride-or-die Shih-Tzu, Muu. I’m also Frank’s wife, my incredible partner who has helped me heal, believe in love again, and navigate life with patience and honesty. He’s my biggest supporter, my truth-teller, and my person—and yes, just writing that makes me blush!

Confession #2: Even though I love being a mom, my lord… my kids can get on my nerves. And yes, my husband too—hahaha! 

Professionally, I’m passionate about buying, procurement, and supply chain management. I have a degree in Marketing and a Master’s in Fashion, Communications, and Marketing, but I’ve spent 20+ years honing my skills in procurement. I love the thrill of the work, and every day is a new opportunity to learn and grow—not just professionally, but as a woman, wife, mom, Christian, daughter, and sister.

Family is my anchor. My parents have shown me unconditional love and support, though yes, I’ve had some rough seasons with them (really rough). And when one parent lets me down, you better believe I lean on the other one… haha, so horrible of me! I’ve come to appreciate the imperfections of life and embrace the grace that surrounds me.

Confession #3: I always want praises. Yeah, yeah… I’m really needy, but that’s a part of me that I’m trying to embrace as in the past, I thought I could do it all by myself, now I’m having grace, and asking for help…and allow my self to just be.

So here I am, sharing my story, my passions, my quirks, and my fire with you. This space is my corner to be unapologetically me—the bubbly, the messy, the fiery, the soft, the broken, the healed….—and I hope it becomes a little corner where we can explore life, love, growth, and everything in between—together.

Thank you for being here and for letting me share a piece of me. 💖
