I am a woman by Isela C I am a woman A woman with feelings A woman with goals A woman with dreams A woman with fears With the most tender feelings in the world, because I am a woman. With the highest goals in the word, because I am a woman. With the most beautiful dreams in the world, because I am a woman. With the most unsuspected fears in the world, because I am a woman.
My feelings are reflected in my family because I love them. My goals are fulfilled with difficulties and love because I can’t give up. My dreams nobody takes them are mine and nobody else’s and with… My fears I fight daily, because I’m not perfect and I thank God, because he made me a woman.

hen I was about 10 years old, my grandmother taught me how to cook. One day she told me a story. It was about a married couple. The wife had a little wooden box and always at the end of preparing each meal, she would “sprinkle” a pinch of “the secret ingredient.” Years passed, the husband would always ask her to show him what was inside the wooden box. But each time she would answer: it’s a secret!” The husband became suspicious. One day the husband opens the box, and he discovered it was empty. He demands for the wife to tell him the secret ingredient, which the wife responded: the secret ingredient is: LOVE! My grandmother was an excellent cook. Her food was delicious. I will never forget her story and her advice to cook from my heart and to never forget the secret ingredient.
