Blossoming at Home (BAH) is a project born from my desire to share the beauty I have found in the ordinary moments of my life. Through this blog, I would like to encourage you to do the same: to look beyond the appearance, to go deeper than the surface, to stop and wonder for a bit and see the goodness and beauty that lies in front of us all.

The project has three main categories: Identity, Purpose, & Beauty. The three are intertwined; they influence each other, strengthen each other, feed each other. 

Thank you so much for being here. 🩵

Please know of my prayers for you.
At that moment, I decided to change the label Thir At that moment, I decided to change the label Third Wheel to Witness, or at least I wanted to try to change my perspective.

While I stayed open to what the Lord wanted to show me, a thought came to my mind: isn’t it an incredible opportunity becoming a witness of love, commitment, and hope in a world full of darkness, use, brokenness, loneliness, and lack of purpose? Isn’t it a privilege to be able to see in front row couples who love, respect, treasure, value, and choose each other? Isn’t it a gift to learn from those who are learning to love each other better and in a more freely, faithful, and fruitful way? And don’t get me wrong, of course the ache is real. The ache of being seen, known, chosen, and loved is REAL. It does not matter how many books I read, or songs I listen to, or how many friends I talk to, or how many projects I work on, or if I am in a relationship or not, I have learned that this ache in my heart will never be satisfied by people, things, or experiences. If you let me, I will tell you something you might not like to hear (if you are single or even in a relationship or married): the ache will not disappear in this world no matter how incredible and loving the person next to you is because this ache can only be fulfilled when you become one with the One who made you for Him.

O God, you are my God
it is you I seek!
For you my body yearns;
for you my soul thirsts,
In a land parched, lifeless,
and without water.

I look to you in the sanctuary
to see your power and glory.
For your love is better than life;
my lips shall ever praise you!
– Psalm 63: 2-4

Memento Amori - Remember Love ❤️ How easy can Memento Amori - Remember Love ❤️

How easy can it be to take love for granted, to take life for granted, to take others for granted.

The upcoming newsletters and articles will be dedicated to those of us who have forgotten that love is already present in our lives, that there is hope, peace, grace, beauty, and goodness right in front of us. 

May today we remember to love and to let love transform and restore us.

I can’t believe it’s been over a month since B I can’t believe it’s been over a month since Blossoming at Home was officially launched. 🥳🥹❤️

It’s truly been a gift to see how God has been evolving this dream of mine into an actual project. My writings come from my heart and my own experience and my hope is to remind you that you *seriously* are not alone in your journey and that you are seen, known, loved, and wanted. 

Working in BAH has been very exciting, but also very challenging. I knew that God was asking me to go deeper and  the unknown was daunting, I didn’t “feel prepared” for what I was asked for. I postponed writing for months! But after wrestling for a while, here we are: a month and a week after the website was launched ❤️ So thank you. Thank you for being here, for your prayers for me and this project. Thank you for reading the articles and subscribing to the newsletter. Thank you for sharing the website with others and for following in social media. Your presence here is a gift to me. I am truly grateful and in awe of what the Lord has done and will do through this project.

If there is a dream you have, if there is a project you have been wanting to work on and you haven’t had the courage to do so, then this is your sign to do it! Time will pass anyways, let’s do something that (as scary as it can be) might be worth the risk, amirite?! 🤪❤️

Finding beauty in our day to day has the ability t Finding beauty in our day to day has the ability to transform our lives. It's so easy to get used to the ordinary: flowers, the sun, the birds, the laughter of our loved ones, and so much more. But if we just stop for a minute and pay attention to everything we have -everything that has been gifted to us by the grace of God- we will be able to see our lives a bit differently and be a bit (or A LOT) happier. 

I am not saying that everything is perfect or that everything around us is beautiful, because there are dirty dishes, and laundry, and sleepless nights (and not all of that is pretty! haha)... but I'd strongly encourage you to just try to see your life with new eyes... eyes full of wonder, intention, and gratitude. ❤️‍🩹

About Blossoming at Home

Blossoming at Home was born from a deep longing of sharing the beauty we can find in our day-to-day. Doing so hasn’t been easy and that’s precisely why I want to share this with you, so you can also find beauty in your life, no matter how hard, painful, or lonely it might be sometimes. This project was inspired by my mother, María Milagros Pozo, a beautiful and lovely daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend who loved deeply, lived passionately, and was able to find and share beauty in the ordinary things in her life. From her cooking to the flowers in her garden, she was able to make a place feel like home. My mother has been my source of inspiration to also find God in what I sometimes saw as small and insignificant. She is the reason why this project was born. My mom is resting in the house of the Father now, and to me, this blog is a way to honor her. I know she has been interceding for this project since God put this dream in my heart and I also ask her to pray for you and me. A prayer for her will also be highly appreciated. ❤️

To be honest, this project was initially going to be focused on finding beauty in the ordinary external things in life: home decor, recipes, activities with family and friends, DIY projects, etc. It can be easy and comfortable to stay in the surface, isn’t it? However, God had a different plan for this. Even though the blog still includes some of these good topics, it has evolved into something much deeper and meaningful. It has become about finding beauty, healing, and purpose in the deepest parts of our lives, those that are painful to look at, those we sometimes stay away from, those that we hide, even from God. May God bring so much light, healing, hope, and consolation into those places in your life where there can be so much hurt, confusion, and loneliness.

In Blossoming at Home I share parts of my heart and story with you, hoping to help you carry your cross even if it’s a little bit, reminding you that you are not alone. This will be a place for you to pause, to open your heart, and let God reveal and pour into you his endless love for you. 

Finding beauty in the ordinary has the power to transform our lives and the ones of our loved ones. Let’s find it together.

Fun fact: all pictures used in this website were taken and edited by me! 😊

Here are some pictures of my mom (“Amoh mío”, as I used to call her).
