I was out of line for quite a long time. I apologize because I had some friend requests I had not taken care of. I did have a hard time. A labrador ripped up the bottom lip of my 5 year old daughter. It was really hard to go through. She went to plastic surgery and I almost went through depression, and after some of the hardest times I had ever had in the last years. Some blessings suddenly emerged.
We all think at times that what we are going through is the hardest that people can possibly go through. Truth is, everything is part of life and, "that", whatever horrible thing is better than no life at all. Since as long as there is life there is hope as well. Life is what really matters and life is full of difficult times as well as love, joy, struggle, beauty, success, failure. Life is all that and more. Life is a Blessing.... Thank God!!! When the heart is beating some light comes out and goes into one direction. Sometimes even unexpected directions, but there, where we are placed we are to light up, and warm up the space around us. Never give up ! NEVER... the blessings come at one point for those who are strong enough to hold on.
Our loved ones who passed away are also part of our life. They live in us. They live in everything they did in life. They live in the seed they planted in everyone they interacted with; in life, and that is so little to say, but so truth. My sister, my bother, my father, Oma they are still around us. They will always be.
In life is a blessing to have someone to think and remember. It is a blessing to have someone to worry about.Some blessings are hard to take, but still blessings. Thank God my daughter is smiling again. So am I with her...and so we wish you all do...

El crecimiento espiritual surge cuando aprendemos a soltar todo. A no aferrarnos a nada ni querer controlar nuestra existencia. Esto se puede hacer solamente con la presencia y gracia de Dios y no lo logramos por méritos propios. Se presenta en nuestras vidas como resultado de nuestro proceso de evolución natural.
Las crisis y las dificultades son oportunidades que la vida nos presenta para acelerar este proceso. Pero no necesariamente es el único camino. No es preciso sufir y vivir dificultades para crecer espiritualmente. Sin embargo definitivamente el dolor potencia al máximo los dones espirituales en cada una de nuestras vidas.
En medio de la oscuridad y con el alma rota y vacía estamos en la mejor circunstancia para que la gracia de Dios nos invada y llene el vacío con toda su grandeza. Quienes alguna vez han sentido dentro de si mismos amor y paz profundos. Buscan repetir este sentimiento con ansia, con fe. Sin embargo después de una experiencia así. Lo que sigue es una sensación absoluta de abandono que parece durar una infinidad.
En realidad nuestro espíritu está creciendo y está en el proceso de aprender que cuando el amor verdadero nos invade. La presencia ya no es necesaria.La paz y el amor ya no tienen límites ni barreras ni fronteras y su alcance es infinito. Ya no hay miedos, ya no hay angustias. Solo un infinito amor.

We all have plans in life. We want to think that we can control our present and future. We want to take our life in our hands and make things happen the way we want them to happen. We want to build today our futre. Doing so gives us a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. It is really hard to let things happen just like that when we believe those things are not taking us where we want to go. Then we struggle to modify things to what we "believe" is the "right path".
What if once...we just let things be... and see what comes out of it. This is when we really grow, when we really get stronger, when we really learn to be ourselves without fear. This is when we get the courage to live how we should live. There are a million things that are not in our hands, but the way we see them. When we learn to accept things the way they are. We are ready to make something worth out of living them.
Our choice is not to change things but to see them differently in our lives. This doesn't mean to accept betrayal, misery,lies, selfishness. It is to see them how they are and realizing they do not belong to us. They do not belong to our heart and soul and we chose not to live with them. We chose to be free from them and take a different path. We cannot change the fact that some people compromise themselves because of money, because of power, because of fear. Thank God...not everyone does that. Not us...We will never be able to change people's minds but we can change the way they affect our hearts, and soul.
When you chose again what should be...your values get stronger. Your mind gets clearer, your soul lights up, sometimes your heart breaks, sometimes you feel dissapointed, but...things are the way they are while you grow and connect to the togetherness of the universe. "Nice things happen too, everyday". That's what we should focus on.

About 20 years ago when I started teaching English I had lots of students who were a lot older than I was. Once in one of my classes a female excecutive manager sitting in front of one of my classes told me. I just come to see you. It fills me up with energy. I did not understand and I even felt a little unconfortable with the comment. Others would tell me... I like talking to you. That I could understand because it would happened to me often with other people....
Time passed by and I got into massage therapies and energy, and auras. Then I realized, and could better understand first why some people pulls us towards or pushes us away. It is an energy glow around people that whether they know it or not interacts with the environment and people around and sends "messages" to everyone.
Now I am 43 and I have trully experienced different energy exchanges from many people and now I totally understand what that woman told me. The first I can remember and recognize in my life was a woman whose name I don't know and never will. She just passed by while I was taking English classes. I was 15 back then. She had a tape recorder on her hand and was an English teacher. When I saw her I felt "something" and I got the feeling of..."how great would be to be an English teacher". About 4 years later without really planning it I became and English teacher myself. Some people while I was working in a beauty parlor years later just by comming into would send me different type of messages. Now I have a friend that really gives me such a joy just to look at her and I can clearly tell that energy angels exist and they do not even have to talk to you. Even in the distance they can fill you up. Some specific people have such a glow that is really impossible to avoid getting hooked to them.
This is no esoteric, magic stuff. It is a plain simple glow from certain people that come directly to you. That glow reaches the part of you needing it and switches something inside you. We are not always conscious about this. They might be known or unknown people, close to you or miles away from you, face to face or even though photos,t.v. or someone's tales. Energy angels move the world around us.
...I know for sure about this...

Decir mujer es pensar en una ánfora, una cuna, un lago, una concha...todo espacio que pueda contener, acoger la vida...
...El varón es energía, vibración,luz, acción,impulso, poder, orden, expansión vital.
Por estas primeras imágenes salta a la vista que el sexo en la especie humana no es un añadido, sino un componente esencial de la persona. El ser mujer o varón no es un accidente, algo secundario, sino una misteriosa identidad que revela la condición del ser humano.
El ser hombre o mujer hace que la vida humana se llene de color, de flores, de vida.
Esta atracción misteriosa entre ellos inspira la poesía, la pintura, la música, el baile, la danza, el teatro, los dramas y tragedias teatrales, los celos.
Existen en el mundo ELLA Y EL, es necesario salir de si mismo, comprender, acoger, ser transparente...para un OTRO que necesitamos y que puede colmar todo nuestro ser. Pero ese otro es único entre la multitud. Hay que esperar el momento oportuno para compartir el cuerpo con quien sinceramente, desea compartir su vida. A ese comportamiento lo llamamos "elección de pareja". La elección de pareja se hace solo una vez. Desde luego andamos con varios pero finalmente elejimos SOLO UNO(A). En cualquier momento de la vida lo que damos y recibimos de otro son dones, son perlas, son piedras preciosas que todos los seres humanos tenemos para compartir. Son plenitud de vida que Dios nos ha regalado para que con ella demos a otros vida en abundancia y...de calidad.
Finalmente habrá una sola persona en la cual se fundan esa atracción misteriosa, ese comprender, acoger y ser transparente, ese dar y recibir. Cada varón cargado de energía, encontrará su lago en el cual se desbordará plenamente. Ella será el ánfora que contenga todos sus impulsos. Se unirán finalmente y para siempre comprometidos en libertad a llenar cada día el vacío de amor que nunca se llena para que siempre sigamos dándonos el uno al otro, hasta encontrar la máxima expresión de unidad entre 2 seres.

I used to think that I should control my mind, my body,and my emotions in order to keep my inner balance. I was able to brainwash myself at times to feel happy longer periods, and avoid things happening around to break me or disturb me in different ways.
One day I just realized that being my whole self should allow me to be broken at times, to cry when necessary, to feel all the anger that certain things would trigger in my soul. There is a lot of literature aiming at finding peace of mind and recovering your inner balance, and it is so frustrating to see that you are doing your best and you have done so much and still you can many times be easily broken into a million pieces due to illness, love, acceptance, betrayal,failure etc.
Fighting so much with my true self;I have realized, that what gives me more stregnth and piece of mind, is letting things be with all my true self. Now I am more in control when I feel every single emotion, and pain I am able to feel, process it and integrate it in my mind and my life the way it is. While one part is tearing apart I hold on to the others that are complete. I put up with frustration, I deal with my own misery, and after a while, things find their own path.
If I closely check on my own history, I realize that my talents have resulted from the bad times in my life. We always come out stronger after facing a troubled time. So now I see that peace of mind is not something static and continuous. Comes and goes at all times even during the same day. Let it just be and hold one while you get stronger.

The first thing to properly manage money is to realize if what we are buying or what we want to buy is a real need, an authentic want from the bottom of our hearts. Something that trully conects us to our own. Many people buy things just to fit in, sometimes because of the social pressure, sometimes because they think the others value what we are buying. Some people go with the "fake it until you make it", and live pretending to be and have what they have never been or had.
No matter how much you have or make if you want more there is a way to make it. You should cut off other expenses to put the money on the things you really value the most. You have to be coherent with your values and choices. A lot of people say they care a lot about the education of their children and spend so much in toys, clothes and parties. In the long term money spent on toys and clothes is money lost that later on won't help you for their education.
Another way to make more for the things that really matter is to look for an extra source of income and save that extra income as if you had never got it. You can always work freelance, sell something, give some specific service that even if it is not a permanent source of income; it will add some cash flew to your montly income. You can exchange or sell the things you don't use or need; so you can save on other expenses
Saving as much as you can should be a permanent habit, trying to get extra honest income should also be a permanent habit that in the long term will give you what you need for the things that really matter.
It really makes you feel proud when you are able to pay for something you have planned for a long time and been able to get with your own effort. The happiness that brings reaching financial goals with effort and patience is permanent joy that will always come to your mind in bad times to save you by saying: " If I made it once...I can make it again"....
Cheers!

Money is always an issue no matter how much of it you have. We most of the times want more. We are never satisfied. Wheter that should be or not it is a fact that thinking about what we trully believe we need and not having the money for it. Makes you sad, worried, stressed, angry, but on the other side having what you want not all the times makes you happy, confident, calmed, peaceful.
Let's suppose that 10 people get one million dollars just like that and you are one of those 10 people. What would you do with it to really feel happy, confident, calmed, peaceful?...Now turn around and see the things you value the most today in your life...Things like your job, your family, your achievements are the things that really make you feel proud of yourself from the bottom of your heart. None of those things can be bought with a million dollars. They are the result of time, persistance, hard work and in the end the real feeling of satisfaction.
My point is that...money can certanly get you some happiness...moments of it, but you have to be smart enough to give it the right place and value. The money you have has to be distributed to satisfy a given amount of needs or wishes. To decide how to spend the money you have to think about what would trully give you long lasting nice feelings. Real feelings and nice moments with your loved ones. If you are going to buy a new car or are going to take a trip abroad with the whole family. You must evaluate what would be better for you and your family in terms of what you get back from what you spend. I do not have the answer for that. You chose. It is your life, your happiness, your smile, your choice in the end.

An insightfull mind to enrich and find depth in plain and simple daily things can help to make our mind feel hopeful, grateful and trully glow from the bottom of our heart.
Feelings root on thougths and the thoughts come from our daily thinking and processing every single thing we live. We tell ourselves things about our life, our choices, our feelings, actions and non actions. The money we have, and anything we have or don't have, the way we look, who we are and who we want to be.
We most of the times compare ourselves with icons, ideals...and doing it is our own choice...Feeling bad about anything in our life comes from telling us awful things about who we are.Not being satisfied with something in ourselves or our lifes due to those comparisons or inner talks. We are who we are by choice...not mere accident, and our choices come from the heart and soul yelling to go in one direction.
Life, health, love, should be enough to feel gratefull,and delighted about our existance. As long as you are here and can do something with your life....WE MUST FEEL POWERFUL, GREAT, HAPPY, GRATEFUL..and this is one good reason to smile.
I LOVE YOU ALL
