  • Not Dreaming Is Painful

    coral-roseMy mini meltdown yesterday was not just about being  jilted by another realtor who wanted to take the commission all for himself. Though it did take the wind out of me a bit, I have learned to stomach it.

    Yesterday also happened to be the day that some trademarks were about to be abandoned if I didn’t extend them. I had registered some trademarks with my sister two years ago when we started our dreams. I had the website related to these trademarks  linked to this site because I assumed we were going to work on these projects together.  Back in May, right after Sparky died, I wrote an open letter to my sister, and unlinked the website to this blog. It is sitting somewhere in cyberspace, still active, but stale. (more…)

  • Suspended and Safe in Mid Air

    I saw this article today titled: Sears Tower Unveils 103rd Floor Glass Balconies. It is a good visual for what I have been going through this year. If I had a visual of last year during my financial meltdown and dismantling of my real estate career, I would post a picture of the bottom of the ocean.

    Because of this blog, I simultaneously have maintained a higher vision where I wanted to be in my life while I maneuvered the crazy world related to my real estate work. Unfortunately, while I desperately hung on to dear life to create real estate deals, I almost sunk myself in the deep ocean of positioning myself as an REO realtor. 

    After all, in my mind, it was the real estate deals that would pay my bills while I continued pursuing my dreams that I imagined kind of like the girl sitting on this glass balcony. Here is a quote from the article:

    “It’s very scary, but at the same time it’s very cool,” said Chanti Lawrence of Atlanta, adding that she’s made her first step toward overcoming her fear of heights. (more…)

  • What’s Inside The Garage?

    Ferrari In The Repair Department

    Yesterday I took my son, Cristian to the Ferrari dealer here in Coral Gables.  He is an exotic car buff and loves taking pictures of these cars. He networks with other kids his age from all over the world on some websites and they share pictures. In fact, he is going to start his own website for this and I am in the process of helping him set it up.

     A good friend’s neighbor is the general manager at The Collection. My friend had told him about his passion for exotic cars. He had told her to tell Cristian to pass by for an inside tour of Ferrari’s, Aston Martin’s, Maserati’s and the like. I finally made an appointment with his secretary to go there. Cristian rides his bike there all the time checking out the scene which is mainly all the spotless, shiny cars on display. But he never saw all the other departments. That is, until yesterday. The manager took us up through a secure elevator to reveal other goodies. There was the repair department, the parking station for used cars waiting for new owners and the cleaning station.   Cristian’s eye’s popped out. He had no idea that these areas existed. All he had seen was the sales department. (more…)

  • The Seeds are Sprouting from the Pods

    seeds-in-podIt has been about two months since I was actively engaged in this blog. So many things have happened in this time. I created this blog with my sister and was waiting for her to “get going.” In the meantime, I did a 21 day video process and shared my process about my financial meltdown there. I was giving my sister, Maria, time to digest an accelerated process that I probably took six years to integrate. 

    So I stopped bugging her to “get going.” In this video, I talk about sharing clips from last year with Maria when together we created our dream to work together. I also talk about how we value ourselves. Right now she is busy with her day job and responsibilities of family. Only time will tell if the seeds that were planted last year will come to sprout for us to work together.

  • 21 Day Video Meltdown

    From November 2 through November 23, I did 21 consecutive days of video when I was facing my financial meltdown. I started this site in June and I chose to do the videos because I trusted my gut on doing it. I was nervous and didn’t tell anyone about it.  I figured that way I could delete them later. My brother  found out about them  in the middle of it and told my family.

    What ended up happening is that it was a catharsis for me to accept my situation and stay strong. The person I was really doing it for was myself. I didn’t delete them hoping someone that is going through the same thing will get inspired to believe in the power of prayer and dreams.

    You can see all the videos on my you tube account:  21 Day Video Meltdown 

  • My Feet Finally Feel Grounded

    feetI am feeling my feet firmly on the ground. Feeling stable and secure is something that is being ripped out of – from under the carpets, so to say for a lot of people nowadays.  In this financial crisis, Lehman Brothers going bankrupt, AIG Insurance being rescued by the federal government today, Merrill Lynch being bought out by Bank of America. Huge institutions worth hundreds of billions of trillions together are losing over 75% of their values.  And at the same time, all of the people that comprise these organizations are feeling devalued.  (more…)
