Nieve = ‘snow’ in Spanish
Bonita = ‘pretty’
My favorite seasons are Spring, Fall and Winter, so I decided to pull the name from Winter “beautiful snow” since that was when I started the blog.

25 Things About Me
1. I’d take mashed potatoes and gravy over ice cream and hot fudge, any day 
2. What I see in a person’s eyes, matters more than any top-label clothing or fancy car that they show me.
3. If I could download the knowledge of any and every skill set, like the dude in The Matrix, I’d learn how to be: my favorite chef, a tech geek, a butler, a geisha, a bellydancer, a nutritionist, a holistic and traditional medical practitioner, a great financier and everything I could from every one of the best coaches and mentors in the world.
4. I have many regrets, but have learned a lot from all of them.
5. I wish I could still do cartwheels.
6. I’ve learned that I could handle ten times more than I ever thought I could.
7. Deep down inside, I’m a peace-lovin’ hippe.
8. When someone rolls their eyes, points and says “Oh, he or she’s a little eccentric/ecclectic/liberal or unusual……” I’m immediately intrigued.
9. I’d like to spend my golden years with the love of my life and my best friends, hootin’ and a hollarin’ at life and each other till we laugh so hard we need better oxygen tanks.
10. I wish I had paid attention to how my mom cooked. I’m starting to love the process…for the first time ever.
11. I agree with whomever said “Variety, my dear…… is the spice of life!”
12. I love the performing arts and some day, I hope I can get the chance to see a Broadway play….
13. People who can open my mind to new, fun and unexpected things, rock!
14. I like just about every kind of music… it just depends on the atmosphere and mood of myself and those around me
15. I’m learning Spanish all over again, and also Italian, and French.
16. Patience is a virtue I have yet to acquire.
17. I learned that what comes easy, is usually not worth the tiny effort. And what takes a lot of work can sometimes have the most heavenly reward ever.
18. I admire people who go against the odds, and somehow manage to succeed.
19. I learned that many times, the people who seem the nicest are actually the ones you should be most cautious about. And sometimes the ones you’d never expect to be ‘real’ – are… In ways that will delightfully surprise you
20. I learned people don’t really want to see or hear the truth, or anything other than what they want to hear. It’s just a fact of human frailty.
21. I’m only or already in my thirties, but I feel like I’m eighty or sometimes still sixteen…
22. I don’t like the word ‘restrictions’.
23. I love to write, sketch and take photos.
24. I miss being around innovative, tech-savvy, high-energy and truly-kick-ass-team-oriented leaders.
