  • Social Media & Embracing A New Identity

    In the last month of my shift in my new work, I have been attending different local networking events geared to technology. I have found them through my local twitter connections. One was a pizzatweetup created by @lapp.  Over 70 people attended to enjoy the face to face company of our online connections. There was no specific talk. It was simply to connect. That is  really what the whole Social Media is about.

    In the last weeks, I called a couple of my newfound techie twitter friends as I was trying to embrace my new job description. I am hired to do a job that really is not clearly defined. That is what was said in another meeting I went to this week.  No one is a real Social Media Expert because it is so new. It was at the Association for Women in Communiciations.(AWCS). (more…)

  • The Ferrari Is Moving Along

    A very nice woman and friend on Twitter, Maryan Pelland asked me to do a guest post on her blog last week. This is the first time I was asked to do this. I was so busy in the last week in my focus of  creating  income either with a job(base pay) or  my real estate work(commissions).

    When she reminded me on Tuesday, I went ahead at night to muster the energy to get inspired to write. That was the day before yesterday. It was my first day of giving it a try at a real estate brokerage company. When I got home my mind was dizzy with getting adjusted to someone else’s way of working and office environment.

    So, I relaxed for an hour and here is the post on her Woman Day By Day Blog  that came out of me after my light nap/meditation.  I was kind of proud of it, because my son Cristian is an exotic car buff and I thought he might get a kick out of the Ferrari metaphor. And since Ferrari’s run pretty fast,  I realized very quickly that this was not the best place or opportunity for me to work. At first the painted picture sounded good, but alas…..flaws were revealed pretty quickly.  I am not expecting perfection. It was something of integrity. I could be wrong, but my gut says I am probably right. So I am busy again like a bee, getting the engine ready to move in the direction that will support my household. I continue to trust and I know I will prevail. Probably, this pit stop will lead me to the next one closer to the finish line. (more…)

  • Open Letter to My Sister, Maria

    Poinciana Tree
    Poinciana Tree

    Dear Maria, we dreamed two years ago of many things we could do together. With your talent as a mental health therapist for almost 30 years and  my  wanting to inspire others to follow their dreams, much could have been done.  Yesterday my poinciana tree keeled over from its immense weight and now an electric cord is underneath it buried in the beautiful fuschia leaves.

    I called Florida Power and Light yesterday frantic that the electric power cord was going to snap especially since it was raining so hard. Luckily, as of today,it still has not snapped.

    There have been many times that my frazzled mind has felt like that electrical cord on the verge of snapping because of my career as a real estate broker turned upside down in the last two years. I never imagined the immense hardship I would have to face.  Even though I am blessed with the gift of my beautiful son,  family and friends who have supported me every step of the way, I didn’t expect it would be so difficult to get back on my feet again with my work.

  • A Time to Reflect and Take a Break

    kiteAs they say, there is a time and a season, and for me, the season of this relationship which seemed to be flourishing has taken a turn in the wind. It is not out of conflict, but simply what I sense out of fear of embracing what can be so grand and expanding, but in the midst of uncertainty and limitations with him finding a job, it must be set free.

    It all started with him looking ahead a few months and seeing that there might be a turn in the road and in his anticipation, wanted to be clear and afraid of hurting me in case he found a job in another city. He is having difficulty finding a job in his industry and the gloom on the streets is not giving him confidence to find work in the field he has been for so many years.

    I understand this, but I also said that love is the most powerful force, and love can find ways if 2 people in love are meant to be together. I put the intention of a divine love and I believe anything with that kind of intention can move mountains. I understand his confusion and anxiety It is out there in so many ways.

     But I am also in the midst of starting over in my own business. I was feeling that love can support and uplift each other, but instead it seems fear and anxiety is taking over. I am  sad, but not heartbroken. I have to set it free and what may have been a potential for what I thought was something greater can be burst in the wind and freed of its
    limitations.

    For my feeling is that true love is beyond any restrictions and if embraced fully- can create magic.
