STILL A FREE AGENT
As the Christmas break is slowly coming to an end, I just wanted to inform you that I still haven't signed with a team yet.... I am definitely eager to see which uniform I am going to wear in 2011 and which team I am going to be able to represent in the new year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
I hope that everyone is able to enjoy this time together with their loved ones.
What I have learned in these last couple of days of "pre-holidays" is that it is not about the amounts of gifts you will give and/or receive, but about being with people that you love and enjoying precious moments with them!!!! So I want to remind you to not stress yourself out with the "superficial" things of the holidays, but indulge in the little ones: i.e. baking cookies with your sisters, setting up the Christmas tree and breaking some of the ornaments, putting up candles that smell like apple cinnamon, planning Christmas dinner, having a cup of eggnog, skyping with your parents, wearing green and red outfits, etc....
I myself don't want to spend too much time on the computer now, so I am going to get back to my family now, but I want to leave you with my favorite Christmas song this year: When I went to my church's Christmas Concert a couple of days ago, and they were "SAAAAAANGIN' this song.... and in this video Mariah is doing the same:
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

UPDATE
Hello everyone.
I am sitting in my living room right now, the Christmas tree lit, and I am about to order a movie ("The Lottery Ticket"... hoping to get a good laugh in). We celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday today, and it was the first time that I got to see my friends and family again since I've gotten back.
This has been the first time in years, to be exact 12 years that I am enjoying an early Christmas AT HOME... it definitely wasn't planned, but as Dorothy said "there's no place like home".
It was funny, because all of my friends at church were super careful on how to talk to me... after the "incident" in Valencia... just to find out that I am doing well. I do believe that God is in control of everything, good and bad, and that this situation is going to turn out for the better eventually.
I still check on "my" Valencia girls each game day, and follow live stats, but besides that I am moving on from my life in Spain. Still missing the friendships I shared with all of the girls on the team. The weather here in California has been outstanding- thank God, and it's been definitely an upgrade to the rainy and windy days right before I left Valencia :)
Right now my agent is putting in overtime, trying to find a team for me for after Christmas. I've been getting some very good and interesting offers, and I am excited to make a decision soon.
Make sure to check in with me again to see where life is taking me in 2011.
Much love,
LINDA

TIME TO SAY GOOD-BYE
Halfway through writing this blog, I started to get bombarded with emails... emails from supporters, friends and fans of Ciudad Ros Casares.... and I am overwhelmed by all the love that you guys have been pouring my way.
I am sad to annouce that my contract here with the basketball team of Ciudad Ros Casares has come to an end today.
To the organization: Thanks for the opportunity you've given me to be a part of this team and to experience this beautiful city.
To the staff (too many to list each of you individually, sorry): Thanks for making everything run smoothly behind the scenes. For smiling, when you don't feel like it. For working hard without getting the applause: Muuuuuuchas gracias. Sin vosotros, nosotros no somos!!!
To my chicas: I will miss you dearly... we've had a great time.... and I will keep you close to my heart forever!!!! Make sure to enjoy the journey and go ahead, do one extra set of abs (25) for me.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!
P.S.: The video above is a last tribute to my efforts of the past couple of months to understanding Espanol... being that I live in California it'll definitely be an enrichment to my social skills
