I'm feeling generous today so here's a great an empowering phrase for all to learn: Si, se puede! You say it: see s-e' (say the e like the 1st "e" in elephant) p-wed-e' (again like the 1st "e" in elephant) It means: yes, it can be done. Which refers to something you want to accomplish and saying that yes your dreams or a better life or losing those last 10 lbs... can be done. It's also used a lot in the pro-immigration campaigns as well as sometimes anti-immigration campaigns as well but for me as most Latinos the slogan isn't about crossing boarders illegally but about fighting through the sterotypes and prejudices and proving that we can make success in our lives despite all the hate that comes at us these days. It's also taken on a different meaning for me and an empowering one when it comes to my own life and the drama, BS, trauma, crappy health set backs and rock bottom days I've had over the last year and knowing that I can handle this, I can do this, I will make it, I will be a success.
