A Note from one friend to another...

Super Soul Sunday Meditation 101

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!

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?

It's Official.

We have registered our child, he will officially be a Kindergartner in September.

WOAH!

To many this is really not a huge deal. To some this is the deal.

For me it brings up so so much.

Do you remember back in October of 2012 when I shared this with you?

Letting Go

So the feelings coming up for me with this new chapter are feelings of hope and reality.

The truth is what is coming up for me, MY TRUTH.

I told myself I am fine and everything is fine. For awhile, everything was fine. I'm still fine, just everything is now a little different.

What's your truth? How do you know what is real? What do your hopes consist of? Are you actively participating in the journey? Have you had to let go of something? Where are you right now?

Viejo, Mi Querido Viejo

To the man I call Abuelito! 

This past week my dear old man, my Abuelito Fausto went home to be with the Lord.  As a youngster grandpa grew up in Guayaquil, Ecuador with his parents, brothers, sisters and extended family. Early in life he decided to embark on an adventure and immigrated to New York with his family. Grandpa worked in custodial engineering to support and raise his family.  For a greater part of his life, my Abuelito, Don Fausto, as he was lovingly called by all his friends and family, was the unfailing, tried and true President of ”La Liga Deportiva Ecuatoriana de Indoor Futbol,” an Ecuadorian Soccer League in New York City.  One of his favorite things to do was pack up the kids, make some sandwiches and walk on over to Shea Stadium to cheer on his beloved Mets.  In the early ‘80s Grandpa accomplished one of his greater dreams becoming a home owner in Corona, Queens were he lived until a little under a decade ago.  He retired from his jobs at age 65 and later relocated to Florida.  

My dear Abuelito was able to create a wonderful life for himself and not only his immediate family but extended family alike. He was very patriotic and had an authentic love for this country he called home and relished in the “American Dream.” Grandpa and I would talk for hours about politics, life experience and of course jokes. Grandpa cracked jokes with the best of them and I had a way of making him cackle, it was endearing.  He was always a proud and knowledgeable man. He celebrated life and love in all ways quite often. He was an orator with a talent for eloquent speech. On the day we celebrated my Quinceanera he moved me to tears with the love he relayed in his toast, it was inspired and so sweet.  He captivated folks with his warmness and bright light. He welcomed everyone into his home and was truly devoted to his family.  His love for his wife and children was unwavering and ardent.  My grandpa, Don Fausto will always be remembered as a fun- loving, easy-going, hard-working man who was full of integrity and joy.  He gave of himself often and never asked for anything in return, his love is unconditional. 

Our dear Grandpa Fausto is survived by his beloved wife my Abuelita, Julia Elena, as well as a host of loving grand-children, great-grand-children, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will always cherish his memory. 

I for one intend to always honor your legacy of love.

I love you Abuelito, with my heart and soul.
