    My Peace Watch A Birthday Present From A Friend
    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. Unfortunately, my whole computer and external drive got zapped. 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…)

  • A Few Good Hats

    hatI went to an Association of Women in Communications meeting a few weeks ago. The topic was about the job environment. One of the speakers, a writer, author and journalist showed her five or so business cards. They were all different. She wears many hats maneuvering this market.  I had thrown in the towel to real estate because the business was dry as the Sahara. I was happily doing my brother’s project  in July even though I haven’t firmly established if this is going to be full time. Take a look at what I have done so far with his website.

    I got the website going, fan page and still have alot of content to add. Since this something new that I am doing for money, I am  getting my feet wet and basically proving my abilities and skills to a family member.  I treat him just as I would any employer. I am committed to my responsibility and am giving it my all. The good thing is that my work schedule is flexible. I am doing most of the project from my home. (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…)

  • Rainbows, Dreams, Teams and Connections

    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…)
