Sugar Coma: An Atlanta Sweet Experience To Give You The Zees

How To Improvise & Host A Last Minute Birthday Dinner Party Without Sizzling Your Pocket!

11 years ago by Bren Herrera
One of the life-long lessons I continue to learn and diligently work at applying in my life, is being practical and not wasteful. My parents have taught me to eat everything on my plate in consideration for those less fortunate than ourselves. I didn't under...

✨✨M L K ✨✨ As we celebrate the life and l ✨✨M L K ✨✨

As we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and national Day of service, I hope we can all truly pause and wonder and refine our purpose. For me, service is innate. It’s in my DNA. It’s what my parents, specifically my mother taught me and my siblings when we were little kids. And so I found this quote, among many others, to be poignant and also reflective. A conversation between a priest in the Levite. It’s not so much what would happen to me if I don’t help my brother or sister in need, it’s what would happen to them if I don’t stop to help.

Deep. I’ll try to live my life in that way. My mantra is to live in love. It’s the only way we can open our hearts up to others, to be of service and to heal the world. 💛

Check out this and 16 other meaningful quotes by the king himself, House of Bren. Copy this link or grab it from my bio. https://brenherrera.com/culture-racepolitics-17-martin-luther-king-inspirational-service-quotes/

✨DMV C O A T D R I V E✨ in partnership with t ✨DMV C O A T D R I V E✨

in partnership with the Biden Harris presidential inaugural committee, I am organizing a very swift coat, winter wear and blanket drive for next Monday— MLK National Day of Service.

When we did our Christmas Day service, many of the people whom we served asked for coats, blankets, hats and gloves. Though we gave out some clothing and accessories, we didn’t have enough for all 600 people. We are in dire need of all these things in order to help those without shelter. Christmas day was bitter cold and we are only now seeing the beginnings of a cold winter. If you have any of those items listed above and more, that are in wearable condition and are interested in donating, please see details! We will be same church where we do our cooking — Memorial Baptist Church in Arlington, VA. All sizes welcome. Our target goal is at least 100 people.

I’m grateful. 💛

(swipe to see a poster on Monday while driving in Fairfax county. It just broke my heart).

✨B E L I E V E✨ 2020 was wild and 2021 is pro ✨B E L I E V E✨

2020 was wild and 2021 is proving to be equally loco, if not more. We are still in a pandemic. However, looking back only serves one purpose: to see how beautiful and bright the future can be if we believe. Believe we can each play a role in making the world a better place. Stay cool, güd people. 💛
(Circa 2012 by @imlilnicki 🥰)

🇨🇺El año pasado fue enteramente loco. Y ya este no luce ser cosa mejor. Todavía estamos en una pandemia. Imagínense eso. Lo único bueno que mirar hacia atrás puede prestarnos: ver qué lindo el futuro puede ser si tenemos fe. Tener fe que nosotros podemos jugar un papel en verdaderamente disfrutar un mundo con paz. Les deseo un fin de semana Super lindo.💛

✨P E A C E✨ I took this picture on March 20, ✨P E A C E✨

I took this picture on March 20, 2020, while riding my bike through city. It’s always so beautiful to look at. Having worked in this very building ,  I’ve always revered its presence. Walking or cycling through, or driving past, is always special.  It’s my favorite federal building in Washington. The Capitol  represents the people. It represents service to the people. It represents possibility. It represents sacrifice.

This is what the Capitol and the grounds look like when we believe in ourselves. Peacefully at work. Even when there are constitutionally-protected and organized protests and demonstrations, the events stay decent. However, what we all saw yesterday is a complete abomination of all those values.  We saw our democracy completely hijacked by thugs.

Like many of you, I am still in shock. The images are jarring.  D..C. will recover, but we are now forever marred by an exhibition of barbaric animalism, only imbeciles can produce.

I love you, Washington. 💛
