  • Balance Is Peace, Love & Happiness

    Some thoughts I have regarding creating balance in one’s life.  The combination of both sides is necessary to be able to maintain a long term vision and simultaneously take the baby steps to arrive at the big picture. What good is a vision(water) if there is no action? What good is it to have tangible success if you end up burnt out(fire) along the way?

    So after putting all these notes here on this post, I question myself: Is it possible for one person to create without a partner if one continually reaches for balance? Will all the efforts be effortless as the s-team floating in the air?

  • Michael Jackson Didn’t Get His Second Chance

    I got this video from a link I saw  from someone I follow on Twitter @undercover.  It is a lead up to the theatrical release of the movie, This Is It. It has been less than four months on June 25, 2009 that Michael Jackson died.  When I look at this video, the thought I get is:  “Did he really feel that this was his second chance of a comeback when he was rehearsing? Was he confident with himself? How did he feel getting ready to go out to millions of people who had shunned him because of all the allegations with children?

    Pipevine Flower In My Butterfly Garden – Looks Like An Upside Down Heart

    I had  a quiet day today at home. The only thing I did was hang out with my son in the morning and go to the gym(and pulled a muscle on my lower back!). It was a beautiful sunny day and normally on a Sunday, I would probably go to the beach. Instead, I simply read a book and took a nice long nap. There is always the pull of spending time for my dreams – writing my book and editing more chapters. Instead it was a day of not thinking, just being.

    I was looking at some of the videos I did a year ago during my meltdown. I was ever so optimistic of working as a realtor in the foreclosure business. Now I don’t want to even think of the word. At that time, I thought it was the best niche in the real estate business to make solid income. Good thing,  I continued plan B at night – my projects. (more…)

    Building in Downtown Miami Under Construction

    I  finally spent a few hours getting my social media consulting site set up last night (blancastella.com). In the past week, I have been ultra left brain focused on getting all my accounting in order, which includes doing my bank reconciliations to the penny on computer software. When I do that, my brain somehow feels happier and organized. It is great to be creative, but  creativity without order is not good.

    What happens to me  when I get in this ultra organized mode, I go into this zone, completely focus and tune out from distractions.  I  hardly twittered or looked at Facebook and no tweet-ups. (The South Florida tech community has constant tweet-ups.) (more…)
