It’s Nice to Meet You!

My name is Yari or Jari. Both are correct. The first is the English pronunciation, the second is the Spanish. Everyone says my name a little different, and I love that 🥰

I’m a late bloomer🌼I came to Christ in my 30’s. I found my voice and my hobbies and values in my 30’s. Graduated college in my 30’s, too. I had my first child nearly at 40, and I plan to grow my family beyond! I’m a walking, talking example that God is a Redeemer and that it is never too late!

To be honest, I planned to blog anonymously, due to a few bad experiences in the past. I even deleted 2 successful blogs because of this. But I won’t be bullied offline again! I can’t help who sees my blog, or how people act or if they troll, but I can choose to stand up for myself and be brave. I deserve to be here, just like anyone else 😊

So I am thrilled to be back, blogging in a more open and honest way 💗 I hope that together we can share positive, funny, honest moments and become good friends!

Take care and God bless,

Yari, the ✿ Lovely Panda Mom ✿
