When will it end? When the last fish has been eaten or the last tree mined? In spite of it all, I somehow have so much hope. I feel it rising in me now. Besides if we always look for evidence of fault we will certainly find it but if we always look for the glimmers in life, I have no doubt in time the path forward will illuminate itself in due time.
Read MoreI used to think it was my purpose to heal the world, I have learned and as cliche as it sounds, I really only had to heal myself so I can get back to a place of love, love for myself and love for others.
As I travel back to “The States” as the Brits say, I will take with me the fondest memories of this place and while it pains me to say goodbye for now, I am glad I did this for myself.
Read MoreWe’ve made progress, yes, but we have work to do! And in the words of a woman, I so greatly admire, Ms. Jennifer Lopez and of course one of the world’s most beautiful women is Latina like me, “Let’s Get Loud…Ain't nobody gotta tell ya what you gotta do. If you wanna live your life, live it all the way and don't you waste it…LET’S GET LOUD!”
Read MoreWhoever may be reading this, I see you and I get you my brother/sister/friend (whichever label works for you, ps: I hate labels) and we’re in this together. I’ve reached the point of my life where yes I want to be challenged and questioned. I want to stare my fears in the face and do things that scare me, why? Because it’s the only way out or the only way in which (I have found) that we grow.
Read MoreAnd at this moment, when I think about life’s unknowns or how much I want to be reactive to certain things, it serves me no good. I could instead spend that energy on things that are working out, the things that are going right in my life. For if we search for what we’re looking for, we usually find that we have MORE than enough. I choose to surround myself with those that want to be surrounded by me.
Read MoreThis stops now. Let people be who they are, you can either accept it or not, but DON’T you dare dim someone else’s light just because you can’t handle it. If something irks you about them, then perhaps look inside and figure out what needs to change within. Often there is our answer when something bothers us. I’ve also learned that how people meet us is in direct correlation to how much they’ve met or dealt with themselves.
Read MoreI’m happy going through my day-to-day. Wrong. If I’m not being challenged or things to change often, I get bored and fast. It occurred to me a while ago, that those years without acting were years where my life felt grey. The arts color my world. Is life easy? Ha. Absolutely not, but a life that is made easy all the time I’m convinced is not a life worth living.
Read MoreIt’s a new year, a new beginning. A time to do the thing or things we’ve always wanted to do. I know for many we’ve set some pretty lofty goals for ourselves and that’s a wonderful thing. The question becomes are we going to be kind to ourselves in the midst of pursuing our heart’s desire?
Read MoreHowever, I’m still human. We all are, but can we just take a moment to come together in love and light? Celebrate success, celebrate each other’s wins? Pick each other back up when we fall? If you got me then I got you! Let’s remember to stay kind, humble, and go forward in love and light.
Read More“everything is meaningless until we give it meaning…we often think we have to assign something meaning to be able to understand.” What are you giving meaning to? What are definitions are you applying? What are you saying to yourself? The worst thing you can do is, be against yourself.
Read MoreI have been anxious lately and I have no idea why. I like to think that I have learned not to be however, I am still human. Earlier this week I did pray to God for clarity but it seems the more I prayed the more confused I became, isn’t that ironic, don’t ya think? A little too ironic…
Read MoreI know that it’s hard to find the silver lining or something to be grateful for. However, if as I mentioned in my previous blog, we are being given a gift even if it requires digging a little deeper.
Read MoreWho would have thought we’d miss the earlier days of quarantine when the pandemic first hit? I certainly didn’t think I would. That’s when it hit me, as dark as something appears on the surface, this is a gift we have been given. We just have to dig a little deeper to find it.
