    Pipevine Flower In My Butterfly Garden – Looks Like An Upside Down Heart

    I had  a quiet day today at home. The only thing I did was hang out with my son in the morning and go to the gym(and pulled a muscle on my lower back!). It was a beautiful sunny day and normally on a Sunday, I would probably go to the beach. Instead, I simply read a book and took a nice long nap. There is always the pull of spending time for my dreams – writing my book and editing more chapters. Instead it was a day of not thinking, just being.

    I was looking at some of the videos I did a year ago during my meltdown. I was ever so optimistic of working as a realtor in the foreclosure business. Now I don’t want to even think of the word. At that time, I thought it was the best niche in the real estate business to make solid income. Good thing,  I continued plan B at night – my projects. (more…)

    My Peace Watch – A Birthday Present From A Friend

    Last year, on July 15th, a huge lightning hit in my neighborhood. It was so loud and scary that Cristian & canceled our plans to go out. I wrote about it here. Luckily we were fine.

What bummed me the most was that I had over six months of recordings from two years ago when I was developing  the projects with my sister, Maria.

    I had figured it wasn’t meant to be.  Part of the focus in the talks was family patterns that we carry and how they are  imprinted in the choices we make in our lives. With her 30 years of experience as a mental health therapist, the input she gave was very valuable. (more…)

    This week was one of renewing my dreams. Inspiring others is not difficult for me. It is something I have always loved to do. What I have found challenging is all the detail work to create a product from scratch.  Also, it feels so vulnerable. Through this blog, I have been able to find my own voice and be comfortable with it on a more open platform. I have connected with many people in a very real way and have enjoyed it a lot.

    I realized this week that all my yakking  to my son in the last years has paid off.  In one of my meltdown moments, I told him that I prefered to go to some tiny efficiency, work for someone and not have to think so much of how to put all this together. He told me that it was a cop out.  Of course, moving into an efficiency would mean that he would have to move in to his father’s house. That is definitely something I don’t want! And now he was the one inspiring me. (more…)
