The Miracle Called YOU!

Yesterday, 7.10.14 around noonish, I shared the following on one of my more relevant social media platforms: 

                         I must share.
                         I was on the phone with an extremely special being, not just special  
                         to me but special in the universe. We were conversing and I was sharing 
                         a story someone shared with me about being blessed with the presence of 
                         our deceased loved ones. I was about to share how a blessing transpired 
                         and a cardinal showed up as they acknowledged the blessing (I choose to 
                         believe Cardinals are signs from our loved ones spirits, they just inform us 
                         that we are not alone...) and at the exact time in my backyard there landed 
                         a cardinal! It was AWE-SOME! I can't begin to tell you the feels (like my 
                         soon to be 17 year old niece says ). It was magical.
                         Our loved ones die from the physical world, they cease there and they live 
                         forever always in the legacy that is their loved ones.
                         So blessed.
                         Please pay attention to the miracles around you and the miracle you are!
                         Namaste!
                         PS: I invite you to look in the mirror and tell yourself how much you value, 
                         love, and appreciate the miracle of you!

After reading my share my friend Simone commented:

                         "I see a book there "the miracle called YOU."

I responded with:

                                 Beautiful, Beautiful Simone. I'm on it!

The entire interaction got me thinking. 

How do I drive home the notion of The True Miracle You are?  

How do I illustrate, in simple and understandable terms the power within you?

Take a moment, if you will, stop, breathe deep, close your eyes, breathe deep and put 

your hand over your heart.  With your hand feel your heart beating within. Open your 

eyes and look at yourself in the mirror. Look at yourself with compassionate and loving 

eyes.  

Look at yourself as you would look at a loved one whom you adore with so much of

your being.  

What do you see?


Are you looking within?

Take a deep breathe.

In your mind's eye how do you envision 

your being?

Please let me tell you, you are beautiful

beyond measure.

Tell yourself how amazing you truly are.


Believe in the power of you.  When you say the words, "I am," pause and always follow 

those words with something positive and kind.

You may not know me but one thing I value most is honesty. Honestly you are a gift in the

world NOW it's time to let your light shine.

If not NOW, then When?

The Miracle Called YOU, look in the mirror and acknowledge the Miracle you are.


Love transcends all things.  Trust in the wonder and power of your dreams.

What I Feel Is What I Oughta Feel

I dropped off my son at school this morning and his teachers gave me this trio of goodness.

I got a teapot invitation to a Mother's Day Brunch with my son and his class.  A bag of three flower cookies made by my son. A plant created from pinto beans that my son planted in school two weeks ago. How awesome is that!?!

I gave him a hug for all the gifts, said thank you to his teachers and went to my car.  When I put my car in drive I looked at these three simply and amazing expressions of love and it brought a smile and a tear.

I had to take a picture of it. 

I thought, "Wow it was only eight months ago I dropped him off at school and had to pause in the car for a moment to send him light and positive energy so he wouldn't feel such anxiety for me leaving."  The first week of school was okay cause he was only there for a couple of hours but the second week was tortuous, for the both of us.  My little boy is growing up and I'm growing up right along with him.  I said a silent prayer, took a few deep breathes, thanked the universe for this experience and awareness and began to drive.


As I approached the stop sign I turned on the radio which was connected to my iPod and "Amor Eterno" begins to play. At first I smiled, shook my head a bit from side to side and then had to pull over.  See the song is about a deep loss; an intense desire to not have lost a loved one who has closed their eyes and transitioned to the spirit world.  

The circle of life is a powerful and amazing roller coaster, a one of a kind experience for each of us.  My Abuelito, My Dear Grandfather, passed away earlier this year. I felt that loss deep in my soul.  I know he's Gone physically from our lives and I also know he lives in my heart, he lives in my soul.  The Truth is this awareness doesn't change the sense of loss, the heaviness of it.  I do stand in gratitude for gifts I have received.  I'm grateful my little boy got to meet my Abuelito and I'm even more grateful my grandfather got to meet me, the mom.  I cried like a baby. I have shed many tears over my grandfather's passing but there have been only two occasions, today and another one last month, that I have been able to sit in the sadness and allow it to help me heal the pain.  I know grandpa is with me, for that I am grateful. I know my son is growing and becoming more and more independent and for that I am melancholic and also grateful.

I cried, I acknowledged what I was feeling, honored it, and let it go.  Once I let it go I became aware this majestic expression of love and nature, it made brought me joy. The tree elicited a smile on my face and in my heart. See this tree's blossom only lasts about two weeks, if that.  The flowers are delicate and quite appealing;  they must be enjoyed and appreciated for the time they exist, they blossom, the go away, and they return. It's the circle of life.  Having compassion for myself and my emotions is huge part of my life's current purpose.  Today I thank Professor Rosenfield of Communications 101 at Queens College, over twenty years ago for articulating for me the concept of , "What I Feel Is What I Oughta Feel."

I Speak For Myself

Often times when I am in a space of denial I look to everywhere else to point out what isn't working.  It's challenging many times to look in the mirror and realize that the sadness or the frustration comes from within.  Even the Love comes from within.

Currently I'm experiencing an annoyance, I was about to crack.  See I inadvertently was exposed to someone's toxic lack of self love and I called one of my confidants to share my thoughts, my emotions, my frustration with what I was perceiving.  The information I was receiving isn't new information, it isn't even relevant to my life and for some reason, some seemingly uncontrollable reason my feathers were ruffled.  

My confidant asked why it bothered me in anyway cause I should already be aware of the source and it doesn't merit my energy.  My response was simple when someone I love is being harassed I feel the need to respond.  Thankfully I made the call I made and I was able to pause and realize that everyone has their own story, everyone has their own cross to carry, I need to just go about MY life and not engage in what doesn't keep my soul in harmony.

When a person shows us who they are we should believe them the very first time, I learned this from the great Teacher, Maya Angelou.  Instead of being annoyed and angry with this sadly conflicted person I will send them love and light and go on on my merry way (Thanks for that reminder my friend).


  • Do you ever let others inspire extreme emotions in your life?
  • Has there ever been a time when you felt like you were being attacked even in an inadvertent way?
  • In what ways have you responded? What did you do to feel better?

A Quickie...

A Note from one friend to another...
I found this link and I thought you might enjoy checking it out.
I am sending you lots of love and light during this most difficult time.
The holidays, although a time of love and laughter, are also a time of reflection and nostalgia that may sometimes overwhelm our hearts and minds. Trust that your soul is comforted by all the love you already have within.
Thank you for being my friend. I truly appreciate you!

Is there someone in your life you are truly grateful for?  Someone who motivates you, someone you respect, someone who just loves you unconditionally?  Who do you appreciate? Who do you love?
Why not write them a note and let them know or pick the phone and tell them. Send them an email, mail them some flowers or send them a singing telegram...the options are endless.

Love transcends all things.  Trust in the wonder and power of your dreams.

It's True, It's True.

There is a young lady in the world who sees it in such a special way, it's her own way.

The shine that emanates from her soul can brighten up any darkness, everywhere.

This young lady I speak of is beautiful beyond imagination.


I'm so grateful to the universe for allowing me the pleasure to be her auntie.


I love you!

You're Beautiful, It's True!

3.30

3.30.14
Today is my Birthday.


Yesterday I was able to share a moment with several women who inspire me and who I have had the privilege of knowing either half of my
life or my entire life, respectively.

In my 40 Plus years of this amazing life, one thing I have learned to be true for me is I relish, I value, I need to engage and interact with other amazing women.  This year, although it's only three months old, has been quite tumultuous for me emotionally, I needed my girl time.

I loved sitting at the table with these human beings, feeling their energy, and looking at the beautiful faces of each and every one of them.  Hearing their perspectives, listening to their life experience, learning their hearts, it's truly a gift. Another thing I value is having been able to be in at least one part of their story.  It humbles me to have experienced them as players in mine.

Sisterhood is a gift that is absolutely priceless and monumentally essential to the well being of the universe.
We don't have to be biologically related to be sisters.

On my 41st born day I'd like to acknowledge my mother for having the fortitude, love, and determination to allow me to come into this lifetime through her even with all the challenges.  Thank you mommy for being!  I acknowledge and honor my grandmother, one of my most greatest loves and my constant rock and motivation. I'd like to recognize and share my love and gratitude to my aunts, my cousins, my sisters, my nieces, my daughters, my teachers, my colleagues, my sister-friends who move me and inspire me every day to be.  I'd like to lovingly say thank you to my son and his father for being such supporters of my zaniness and for all the light and joy you have all brought to my life.

I thank you, from the depths of my heart and soul.

Namaste!

Relationships are Hard.

Yes, Relationships are Hard.

Being in a relationship is challenging, 
not being in a relationship is challenging.

Being in relationship with myself is challenging.
Fruitful, amazing, and rewarding and also challenging.

I don't have it figured out and every moment brings me more clarity as to how intricate being in relationship truly is.  It doesn't make it any easier or any less messy, this knowledge I have.

In all honesty I have recently committed to doing lots of mirror work coupled with focusing.  This is part of my journey in exploring healing and having compassion for myself. ( I highly recommend it, for me it seemed unnatural initially, now it's become more organic). For More on Mirror Work Click Here and go to Louise Hay's Website.  My therapist first introduced me to "focusing."  For more on Focusing Click Here go to Focusing.org.  I've shared a bit about my Part of my Road to Calm Experience, in pictures.  The actual Road To Calm Website. <---I HIGHLY Recommend this experience. 

This week I learned big lessons about me and who i think I am and who i've truly been.

Yes, relationships are hard and and sometimes dirty, and they are mind blowing, life giving, energy draining, joy inspiring, and absolutely sublime! 

What are your thoughts on relationships? Are they challenging? Are they essential? What makes a relationship? What makes a relationship work for you? What makes a relationship not work, for you?
