Divine Relationships Start With You
I was reading in the paper the other day that there are less divorces here in Miami compared to last year. One of the reasons is because of the economy most people cannot afford to have two households. When equity was rising, you could cash out and buy something else. Right now, it’s not an option for most people. The article also states that it is possible that some couples may end up working it out. We have given up too easily in marriages. The marriage counseler says “I think we throw away our relationships too easily.”
I for myself was divorced in 13 years ago when my son was only 2 1/2. The intention of the marriage full fledged in Catholic church was to stay for a lifetime. When I got pregnant, I had a conscious intention that day to conceive. For me, that was divine. And today and every day of his life, my son is my most precious gift. He is the one that motivated to keep going when everything broke apart in the divorce and all my challenges. He has been my source of not giving up. (more…) -
Its a Beautiful Day..New Life Abounds
I took this picture couple of months ago. I was crouching down taking a picture of the caterpillar against the sky when all of a sudden, this butterfly appeared and I snapped the picture. It was a magical moment for me. That is how life should be…full of many magical moments…why not?
Today feels like a refreshing day full of sunshine.

As i was about to go back in, i saw a butterfly on the ground. It was attempting to fly and I realized that this was the butterfly that was born. It had not taken flight yet. (more…)

A Hostage in My Own Mind
When I had my acar accident 5 1/2 years ago, I didn’t know what hit me. All I did know was that I was stressed and miserable in a 7 year relationship that was very dysfunctional. In my work, I was doing great, but inside I was breaking at the seams. The last post I wrote about my Chryssalis was a metaphor about how we must take time to pause and rethink what direction we are heading, as individuals, as families, as a community, as a nation and as a planet.
