Time For R & R
This is the first time that I post directly from my Droid phone. I exerted much effort to get things done this past week including the weekend which is supposed to be for relax.
I woke up feeling very tired today with my back hurting and a cramp on my leg. I also stayed up until 1:30AM last night rendering some video files for my brothers site.
It has been cold, my butterfly garden is not flourishing and I haven’t been to the beach nor exercising as much or sat quietly to write. (All these things bring me inner peace)
So this morning I will tune of completely and do something which fills my heart which is writing. Just for a few hours.I am in need for a restoration. What prompted me to even write this post was that I was doing a system restore on my laptop as I was setting up to write.
I have so much to do..but my body,mind and soul is telling me I must do this. Either way, I probably will catch up in the evening.

Inspired To Follow My Heart
A Valentine's Heart Decoration I Saw At A Window Display My last post titled, Inspired, Rooted & Ready, I wrote about the pieces of the puzzle coming together. Besides this blog being my catharsis for change, it is also a behind the scenes look at how I perservered in my struggles these last two years.
I have found collaberation with two of my cousins in Colombia on my Spanish blog. That is, after all, where my roots are. (more…)

Happy Holiday & Keep On Moving
A Christmas Wreath Made By My Friend Daniela 2009 has been an interesting chaotic year. As 2010 approaches, I look back at all the challenges of this year and observe that in the midst of them, many opportunities came my way. I had set an intention two years ago to follow my dreams. While I am not exactly where I really want to be, I have made great strides in getting closer to them.
I am grateful for the many new connections I have made through Social Media all over the world and the abundance of new found friends I have made through local tweetups. I can honestly say that it has been an experience of expanding my universe in a way that I never expected. By sharing, listening to others stories and making humor of life, going through the process of change has made it easier. (more…)

Inner Peace & An Active Mind Creates
Blue & Pink Clouds I Took On My Way To My Guitar Class Recently Today I was sorting out all my real estate files. I thought for a moment: “What a waste.” Meaning, a waste of having all this knowledge and finally putting it to rest. I know real estate deals are closing, but I had made a decision last year to attempt to work with the bank listings. It didn’t work out. So I started thinking of all the mistakes I made. “Why did I put so much effort on a fruitless endeavor?”, I thought to myself again.
But then the thought hit me that in all my efforts of gaining knowledge, my mind stayed active. I didn’t allow the challenges to let me down. Ok, I have had many let downs this year on the surface. But all those let downs made me stronger. For some reason, I lived them. My rational mind says it was a failure. But my gut says, it was part of the process of enduring and gaining so much more beneath the surface. (more…)

I had a great time tonight with my neighbors. There were hundreds of kids going around with all their costumes. It is fun to be a kid and I loved seeing all their happy faces. Click here for the rest of the photos.
