  • Something is Stirring in America

    flag-eagle-carI have never been much of a politically involved individual as I have found myself to be this past week. As the Olympics came to an end, and as we finished watching the performances of Americas heroes such as Michael Phelps and Shannon Johnson and  many others, I was on a high. Throughout the Olympics, I was glued to the television set each night as I watched these athletes perform and reach to accomplish the dreams that they have had, many as young children. I was in awe by the idea of how all these athletes  have had their heroes journey, many overcoming many obstacles to get to that point and never giving up because that is what it takes.                       

     Then the  Olympics gave way to the Democratic National Convention and again I found myself glued to the TV each night.  I listened to the story of Barack Obama, an unlikely candidate and a Black American  running for the office of President of the  United States. I listened to his speech last night and could not help but feel my passion reignited once again to dream and hope for a better tommorrow. Yes I know that this is what candidates are supposed to do, but something happened to me as I heard him say.    ” Something across America is stirring.” All I could hear myself saying at that moment was, my God I hope so. He spoke of the American Dream of what we are all hoping for:  a better life for our families and the next generation to come.

    I felt myself getting excited and feeling that energy run through my veins. Wake up America!!!!!  We all need to resurrect our Hopes Dreams and Desires. I could feel myself saying and feeling this as I heard his words and felt them all throughout my being. We have all become way too complacent to reaching for the stars  and reaching for those hopes dreams and desires of which heroes are made of.

     
    We are living in a world of uncertainty, facing issues of economic recession, global warming and continued political unrest in the Middle East. If anything, what Barack Obama did last night in his speech is reignite those dreams that we can as a nation, as a community and that I can as an individual have those dreams of a better tommorrow.

    Someone said to me that America was not ready for a Black president. Well for one, he is of biracial parents so he is of both races.  I thought what a perfect metaphor, what a perfect way to be that bridge. When we can look past the color of our skin and focus on each other as individuals, then we are on our way to healing ourselves, our relationships and this nation. We will really be on our way to Resurrecting the Heroes that we are. We will be on our way to acomplishing all our hope dreams and desires. Yes I do believe it is possible. All it takes is that one spark.

    And to quote a less than politically influential character, buzz light year: ” To infinity and beyond!”

  • Be vulnerable or run away?

    My “new” relationship with this man has continued. I have found that because my main purpose and intent is to have a divine spiritual and uplifting relationship, it actually makes me even more vulnerable. Before I covered up my vulnerabilities with a man, that deep core part of me that connects to God in my own way, and I safely tucked it in the hidden recess of my heart and soul. (more…)

  • Time is Precious

    TIME: Where does it go? So much has happened in this summer. I let go of my crutch and in the first parent teacher meeting of the year, I walked all over my sons school, meeting all his teachers. I was able to walk freely. As they say, there is a time and a season for everything, and the season of the summer was the final season to let go and let all the fruits in. (more…)

  • Feeling my independence

    I accidentally left my one crutch that I am now using, on the side of the car and
drove off without it. I have been walking 30 percent of the time without it
around the house, but leaving the house completely without it, was like an independence.
 I went to the
grocery by myself and simply used the cart to lean when the swelling, that I
still have, bothered me. I felt "normal" again. These past months with all my
apparatuses, I felt confined, but necessary for healing my ankle and to get my
mind out of my work panic. I do feel more at ease and find myself more focused
and alert. I'm ready to move forward again in a new way. An instructor of one of
the real estate certifications I got this past month said that you have to be
like a chameleon in these times. You have to be able to adapt with what is going
on. For me, in real estate, I have to. I had no choice. Half of the listings are
foreclosures and short sales, where homeowners are upside down on what they owe.
vs. the value of the home. I know this affects many internally because of the
devaluation of our homes. But what is really "home"? Is it the structure we live
in? Or can it be something else, more intangible?

  • Who Do You Love More?

    My son has asked me many times, “Who do you love more me or Sparky?” Sparky is our beautiful eight year old Labrador.  We’ve had him since he was a puppy.  Of course I always answered my son  that I love him more than Sparky even though I adore Sparky.  And then he would ask me a lot of times, “Who do you love more, me or you?”  And to which I would always reply,”Well, I got to love me first so that I can
    really love you.”  (more…)

  • Blanquita Day

    Here is the link of my friend’s Blog that explains Blanquita Day and the text here:

    Some of you may remember back in April when Blanca’s sister, Maria, declared Cinco de Mayo as “Blanquita Day.” She sent an email to that effect and Alina passed it on.

    I am emailing you to let you know that Monday May 5 ( Cinco de Mayo) has been officially declared Blanquita day.We are going to Celebrate the Independence of Blanquita that day while others celebrate Mexico’s This is my idea. The power of thought and focused intention is a very powerful thing and many of us in Blanca’s life are very powerful beings both in body and spirit and love her very much.

    As you know her ankle is not getting any better if anything worse and hurting on a daily basis. We need to manifest the surgery she needs within a year. We are researching as to being part of a study so she can get this done So here is what I am asking that you email this to all who know her of your friends as I will be doing from my end so that on May 5 we unite that day in unified thought to create an answer to her ankle so that by the day of her birthday June 26 she is gifted with the solution to this ankle with the right contact.

    TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS. AND SO SHALL IT BE!!!!!

    LOVE YOU.

    Maria Mejia Jacques

    Soon after, the results of our positive energy became apparent!

    Hello Love group, I have been in a dream this last week. In a few short words, the power of prayer was so potent that the next morning a podiatrist showed up at my sister in laws office for no particular reason, had new xrays, met the dr. On Thursday, he offered surgery for free(without me asking), will get a much better procedure here in Miami, and tomorrow I will know if the hospital charges are going to be paid 100%. Monday the prayers were sent out, and by Friday all this was done with NO effort!!!!!if I keep writing I will start crying again, so all I can say is thank you for your love and beautiful thoughts…I am almost speechless. I guess it will be a big chapter in the book.;-) happy mothers day to all of you. Even if you are not a mother, the fact that you were all my support even in the minutest way with just one thought, I can tell you it made a difference. So happy mother and woman’s day! Love Blanca I love you all!:-)
