I read in the Miami Herald today that the six month descent in the economy appears to be leveling off. It has been a 1 1/2 year descent being in the line of fire as a realtor. My video of the triathlon gives me the imagerythat there is a finish line as long as you persist. All in all, it has been a great experience in a weird way.
After seeing all the butterflies yesterday in Butterfly World, I hope I can come out of this phase soon and start flittering about again. A transformation has definitely happened again because I followed my main motto: Let Go, Let God. I follow it to the letter now. This has helped me to be kind of like a butterfly. I have been learning all kinds of new ways to work so I can hopefully write full time in the near future. I’m learning the internet mechanisms and all this wordpress blogging, plugins etc. If you look at a butterfly in action, it has major ADD. It does not sit still, except when it is laying its eggs. Then it’s off to another flower. (more…)
You know the old saying, “I am throwing in the towel.” Instead of doing this, I am going to take the towel to the beach this week. My son is on spring break and I also need a break very badly. I am exhausted by all the doing, doing, doing in these past six months to restructure my real estate business. I got inspired by the #iloveyou on facebook and twitter yesterday and it reminded me of a prayer day that my sister started last year.
She called it “Blanquita Day”. It was the beginning of my financial and simultaneous health meltdown.I was talking to my friend, Gisele yesterday about the meaning of karma. What is good karma or bad karma. Wikipedia’s definition is: Sanskrit for act, action, performance….concept of action or deed in Indian religions.
My interpretation in English is that karma is simply an action or choice. I would then deduct from this that good karma would be a good action/choice and bad karma would be bad action/choice. We all have made both. It is part of being human. Hopefully, after learning from our experiences we can start to make better choices. (more…)
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.
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!:-)

My son recorded this video on June 15, 2008, 10 days after my surgery. I talk about “Blanquita Day”:
It’s 11:30PM. My ankle is throbbing, throbbing!The vicodin is not working.I was trying to get off the the intravenous Dilautin. My nurse is busy with another patient. I almost panicking, but instead I pray. I remember what i was thinking about one hour ago what Eckhart Tolle said, “This too shall pass.”. I hold my hands to my heart knowing that I am not alone.I call in Jesus, God, anyone, help! The throbbing is still there….but less as I pray and clam down. I cannot succumb to the anxiety. I observe. I focus on the strength of my heart and the rest of me that feels wholeThis is just another step to surrender to the love of God. I could have panicked in this half hour. I am knowing it will pass…I have to move thru it. (more…)
I am going to the hospital tomorrow for reconstructive surgery on my ankle. I have traumatic arthritis and diminished cartilage due to a car accident 5 1/2 years ago. The procedure is going to be two fold, first all the metal, about a dozen pins and two plates, are going to be removed and am going to have a “halo” attached, also called Ilizarov and drilled into the bone in 12 places from my foot to my shin. It will be giving space to my joint and basically will look like I am a human shiskobob. I will have this attached 24/7 to my ankle for 6 weeks. (more…)
