  • Colorful Pebbles & Visions

    A Colorful Bag of Pebbles I Bought When I Saved A Turtle
    A Colorful Bag of Pebbles I Bought When I Saved A Turtle

    In my post I few days ago, I used the analogy of dark matter to the substance of our potential. I am no scientist and have no expanded knowledge of dark matter. I do own some of Steven Hawkings books and have a fascination about the origins and workings of the Universe. But first, I have to be a mom and breadwinner.

    That said, does it matter 😉 if I am not an expert? They’re just my thoughts. Besides, in the link that Chris Gram’s posted, he says that Steven Hawkings says that scientists won’t figure it out after they spend $4 billion dollars.

    Now, let’s continue with my random thoughts  and analogy that dark matter is the substance of our potential. We, as human beings are continually creating. How can we grasp the creative force of the universe and mold it into a visible creation? My perception is in my colorful rocks – or pebbles. (more…)

    Rainbow Outside of Office Today
    Rainbow Outside of Office Today

    I spent a couple of hours this afternoon with one of my mango connections. In the last two weeks, a series of possibilities opened up for me. I believe that they did because I put a very strong intention that I needed something by the end of May to stabilize my income. I have been sending out resumes to various job positions while trying to navigate the REO business.  I was open to working in something outside of the real estate arena as well. But it really irked me that I have all this real estate experience and it was going to waste. It seemed like door after door kept closing on me.

    It is during these times that one tends to get desperate. I wasn’t despairing so much because I have learned to trust my gut(and because writing here has given me more strength to stay positive).  I  also gave myself the gift to feel the pain I was feeling for the loss of Sparky. Maybe that is why the opportunities didn’t happen. Maybe I needed the time to spend with Sparky in these last months and give him tons of love.(even though at times he drove me crazy with that wound). (more…)

  • Obama, Our Hero, a Courageous Leader or Both?

    obama-superman1I went out with my son tonight for a Coldstone ice cream desert on Miracle Mile  in Coral Gables and happened to see this painting for sale in the window sill. With the inauguration of President elect Obama less than a week away, I thought that this depiction of Obama as Superman was symbolic.

    Superman is the hero, the man of steel, the one to save you in peril and despair. Well, alot of us are living financial peril and despair and we are looking for this new leader to save us.   The way I look at it is that this man has the courage and vision to take us to a better place. But he can’t do it alone. Hopefully he is intelligent enough to pick the right team in every arena and delegate efficiently the most pressing matters.

    I as a realtor in Miami and living this  reality of financial peril as my income has dropped dramatically in these last two years, I have had to totally restructure the way I work.  I did vote for Obama. I want change. Even if you didn’t vote for him, the reality is that he is going to be our President and leader for the next four years. (more…)

  • Time for a Pause

    zebra-cterpillars-on-vine-april-17-08-first-time-seeing-024I created this site with a lot of love and nurturing with my sister, Maria. We are collaborating as a team and are in the process of creating some great programs.  We both are working in our individual “day” jobs, have kids and many obligations. To not cause stress to each other and our families, we are allowing this site to flow organically and in harmony.

    We spent one year conceptualizing, visioning and dreaming. In our fast paced world, “time” is an issue. For this reason, we are taking a short break of a month to further nurture our dreams. (more…)

  • 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…)

  • Leap of Faith and Taking Baby Steps

    baby-toddlerWhat if your destiny is nothing but taking small steps, led by a vision that you have initialized by a leap of faith in your hopes dreams and desires, and you are taken into a reality that becomes your destiny. For me, the word “destiny” or “fate” connotates sometimes something too big and therefore a sense of being unattainable.

     I know that I have taken many steps towards a vision, but sometimes give up hope because the steps seem too much. t’s like stopping at 10,000 steps when the  10001 step was the critical one that takes a quantum turn which then catapults you to your destiny which seemed unfathomable in step 9,999.  It is that leap of faith as you hold on to your vision supported by a love so great from a higher power or God, that I imagine can lead me to what I thought at certain times unattainable.

    I have many big hopes and dreams for a greater life for my son and myself- for a better life and for a vision I have of inspiring children. Maybe I am on step 4999. That trust in a higher power is my fuel to continue all the remaining steps. Little by little, step by step. You never know, maybe step 5001 is that quantum step, or it could be 10001. Who knows.

    But it sure does feel better knowing that I WILL be at a destination – my destiny soon enough, as long as I continue taking those baby
    steps.
