This 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 MoreThe truth is, we’re stronger than we think we are. We’re braver than we think we are and more importantly, we are beautiful human beings worthy of love. I will say that true love and wholeness begin with loving yourself first.
Read MoreWhere is the fun in knowing it all, or doing it all by ourselves? Do you know how much pressure that adds? An unnecessary amount. We cannot face today’s battles with yesterday’s mindset.
Read MoreI have learned that sometimes God or the universe leaves out all the details on purpose. If we knew everything we would never need faith. I’ve also mentioned this before in previous blogs where I beg the question, “how boring would life be if we always knew what was coming?”.
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 MoreFor all the things that I have accomplished, it all began with the thought and belief that I could do it. Conversely, all the things I have yet to do I am working on finding the strength to do them.
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 MoreWhenever we take a picture, or a sculptor makes an artifact or a painter paints a portrait or a landscape, each of which over time generates scars or marks from years of wear and tear, and yet we still call it art. We ARE beautiful pieces of art, slightly cracked but precious all the same. Extend grace to yourself and most of all, to others too.
Read MoreLet’s be thankful that we’re not where we started, we have a long road ahead to cross, but we WILL cross it! Stay the course and stay strong y’all and also remember that it takes real strength to admit what you’re feeling, there is so much power and freedom in
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.
Read MoreHere I sit in my bedroom on the 4th of July wishing I could be outside to watch the fireworks I hear going off all around me. I am free & I’m fortunate that as a Latina for the most part I have all the freedoms this country and constitution afford me. Or so I used to think.
Read MoreIt’s been almost a month since quarantine has taken over and here’s what I’ve learned, you can’t get through it without calling people. I mean, I have the time.
Read MoreI tell myself that the best is yet to come. As days go by in the blink of an eye, I fear the end is near. Hold onto faith my soul cries out. Do not fold, do not cave as you learn how to behave in this new world.
Read MoreI perhaps say this more than I care to count or start off my entries with my overly used phrase…
Read MoreI tell myself that the best is yet to come. As days go by in the blink of an eye, I fear the end is near. Hold onto faith my soul cries out. Do not fold, do not cave as you learn how to behave in this new world.
Read MoreAs I stepped out of the revolving door of work and began my walk towards 40th and 5th Ave, I thought to myself, “yup, Manhattan is home”. Some days I don’t know what to make of this city, and yet I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
