I was recently sharing my work/projects updates about my new potential prospects for my Social Media work with one of my best friends. We are very similar in our analytical approach to getting things done.
Because of my willingness and self motivation to invest many hours in learning all of this, I am reaping the rewards of this time and effort by creating a new way to make income. I believe the best motivation comes from being inspired. (more…)
I’ve worked so hard in these past two years to maintain my sanity during all the chaos in my life. With a clear mind, open heart and new connections that I have made, I finally feel today that a breakthrough is happening.
At many many networking events and tweetups, I ask people whose business also has slowed to a crawl, how they managed the chaos. Usually the answer I get is being in nature and faith.
I have shared in the last year on this blog where my peace has come from. It has been a long road. Yet, I know I will look back sometime in the future to this time and realize that this time gave me amazing lessons. Humility is the main one. (more…)
Today my guitar teacher’s husband unexpectedly, yet peacefully, died in his sleep at 90 years of age. I have been taking guitar classes for a couple of years . He sat in to watch me practice many times and always carried a smile on his face.
Tonight I went to the viewing at the funeral house. I could see how heartbroken Esperanza was. I admired the love they shared and and had the privilege of seeing this beautiful couple completely in love after over 60 years of marriage. I was remembering the day I had videod them two years ago. Luis had celebrated his 88th birthday on August 20th.
On that day, Esperanza showed me five plates that were given as a birthday gift. I mentioned to Esperanza that I wanted to take pictures of the plates because of the symbolisms. When I got home this evening, I looked in my computer and realized that the day that I did the video was on September 25, 2007 – exactly 2 years to the day he died. (more…)
Usually, I put my mind to something and set out to accomplish a goal. I am good at writing things down and checking off my to do list as I move on. I try to maintain the vision of the bigger picture so I don’t get lost in a sea of endless details. In this whole blog, I talk about holding a vision while simultaneously restructuring and releasing a crumbled past(a.ka. meltdowns!)
Holding the vision that has been etched in my mind(and in a ton of notes) is not difficult. However, feeling lost in my sea of doing & doing sometimes gives me an uneasy sense of being lost. Yet, the vision is very clear. The other key factors before embarking on a vision are there: risk, motivation, commitment, investment in time, willingness to learn, confidence in myself and my persistence to take action steps which hopefully will lead to concrete results.

In my post I few days ago, I used the analogy of dark matter to the substance of our potential. I am no scientist and have no expanded knowledge of dark matter. I do own some of Steven Hawkings books and have a fascination about the origins and workings of the Universe. But first, I have to be a mom and breadwinner.
That said, does it matter 😉 if I am not an expert? They’re just my thoughts. Besides, in the link that Chris Gram’s posted, he says that Steven Hawkings says that scientists won’t figure it out after they spend $4 billion dollars.
Now, let’s continue with my random thoughts and analogy that dark matter is the substance of our potential. We, as human beings are continually creating. How can we grasp the creative force of the universe and mold it into a visible creation? My perception is in my colorful rocks – or pebbles. (more…)
I love to wake up to the butterflies in my garden. Here is a zebra butterfly getting its nectar. Now I just need some sunshine at the beach to get revitalized and some exercise at the gym to rev me up. Then I’ll be ready to take on the week ahead.
Note 5:40PM: This is the first video I took with my Blackberry Storm. Therefore, the quality is not good. However, I emailed it directly to my new account at Posterous.com. You can set up Posterous to auto post to You Tube and many other social media accounts including your blog.(Like the above post.) It is better for adding a blog post with a picture, like the prior one of my puppy Maya.
No beach day! Clouds and rainy. But I did work on my projects and exercised.
However, the link wasn’t as good as having the You Tube embedded. The good thing is that it was quick and easy. Here is the actual video:
