In the Beginning...

This blog has been a long time coming.

I've always had this urge to write, but my initial understanding of blogs was that is was very self-focused.  With that said, I strayed away from the idea until recently.  After reading other blogs and getting real education (I'll let you know what I learned in a minute) on the purpose of blogs, I decided - LET'S DO THIS!

I guess I also had to get to a place of understanding and acceptance in my own personal thoughts that I may never have a Subscriber, nobody would be interested, and Google may inconspicuously divorce my blog for reasons of boredom, therefore not even putting up a fight for custody of it's content.  (see what I did there - haha)

Moving on:

Okay, so after carefully looking at other blogs that are comparable to the ideas I have for mine I have come to learn that they aren't Self-Focused AT ALL!  They are ideas that others share from THEIR real life experiences - but in a very non-selfish, look-at-me kinda way. This is exactly what I want to come from my blog.

With that said, you can expect to read about and experience with me a little from my Faith, in some sort - my Love, my Family, and of course the good, bad, and indifferent of my day-to-day life.

Tried to dodge this part, but I think that would leave for a lot of confusion down the road if I didn't give at least one sentence about myself.  So here we go...

My name is Teresa Serrano.  I've lived my entire life in the High Desert of Southern California, specifically, the Antelope Valley.  I'm 27 years young, strong believer that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, an animal lover, and happily married to my best friend of nearly 10 years, Marcos.

I absolutely love Hallmark Movies, some of my faves are Back to You and Me, Matchmaker Santa, and Backyard Wedding. Each of these movies hold a little bit of a fairy tale that I secretly (well, not anymore) wish for!  The "small town", old-fashioned, and traditional living style is just so....BLISSFUL!  It's comparable to living in a Nicholas Sparks Novel, who by the way is my most FAVORITE Novelist.

My day-to-day living pretty much consists of the typical Homemaker duties (cleaning, cooking, and cleaning some more), working on building my company One Way Marketing (www.Facebook.com/1WayMarketing), playing with my two adorable doggies, spending time with my husband, going to church, serving in Ministry, and hanging out with my family.  When I'm not doing all the above, I like to Crochet (I just started), Watch Movies, Blog, Try out New Recipes, Bake, and Listen to Music.

I have a feeling, I will have a few people question my choice of Blog Title: Simply Spicy Serrano.  Again, I want my blog to cover both the simplicity, old-fashioned, and traditional side of my life, as well, I don't want to hold back the more chaotic, sometimes hectic and spicy side of my life.  That's exactly what a Serrano Pepper is.  It's a simple ingredient that can be played down into a simple salsa to compliment chips, or it can be left in it's natural form in which packs a lot of heat!  Take that as a WARNING before biting into one please!

I truly hope you enjoy the things I share and I would love to hear your feedback.

I'll end with sharing one of my fave scriptures:
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." - 2 Timothy 1:7

Special Thanks to my dear friend Sara H. for your indirect, yet very helpful way of getting me to figure out my Blog Title.  You are much appreciated!
