There’s a saying that goes something like this “do not judge a person until you have had a chance to walk in their shoes.” Since yesterday afternoon,  I have been trying to imagine how would I feel if I were to be in the same situation that some of the people who were affected byContinue reading “In their shoes…”

In some of the states of the Southern United States of America, tornado outbreaks have caused the death of at least 290 human beings as of this writing. My thoughts and prayers for strength, comfort and peace go out to the family and friends of these people. Sometimes silence is the best way to express or communicate anContinue reading “Tornado Outbreaks across the Southern United States…”

    Once upon a time, there was this little young-at-heart lady that thought that she knew what she wanted her life to be.  Then one day, the big bad wolf of her thinking mechanism shocked her when a brand new thought crossed her mind.  It was the ultimate “game changer.” She really didn’t know up toContinue reading “A Game Changer…”

  I know it sounds awful, but the reality of life is that sometimes we stop having things in common with some of the people that we know, and when we reach that season, we just stop knowing those people.  Then it is time to send them to the Recycle Bin.  Same thing applies to stuff.  ForContinue reading “When it’s time to send stuff or people to the Recycle Bin…”

While reading the Science Section of my newspaper, (by now you know that’s every Monday), there was an article titled :  “The future is (almost) now for avatars” by John Tierney. I started reading it because things like this that sound science-fiction-like get my attention.  That and any conspiracy issue.  First I had to admit,Continue reading “My altered ego…meet my avatar…”

Looking through one of the magazines, I was reading one of the articles,  “in humor” as this author describes it, she mentions that she is forbidding herself the use of some of the followingContinue reading “To be…or not to be…a writer…seriously…”

Easter…the perfect time of the year to let go of anything and everything that originates  from the feeling of fear, in any form or shape, and embrace a new life where love is the center where everything that has a meaning of new, hopeful and inspiring comes from.  Let love be the ruling force in your universe.Continue reading “Easter…and its meaning to me…”

I am in search for this perfect book.  Went to the bookstore today, but couldn’t find it.  I want a book that will tell me exactly what to do for the rest of my life, and the book has to know me well enough to deal with me kindly, but at the same time forcefully. Continue reading “The perfect book…”

  When I was growing up…as in the 50s, and some of you were not even a thought, Easter week was not so like these days.  Now some of us have to look at the calendar to remember,  and for some of us it is just business as usual. It is very comprehensible.  We haveContinue reading “Easter week…when I was growing up…Semana Santa…”

You reach a point sometimes that there is a general feeling of numbness in your life.  This is dictated by the circumstances around you, or by what you are thinking. How can I look at the pictures and listen to the news and see people’s disbelief in their eyes, like not yet grasping that this is happening toContinue reading “That word again…Resilience…”
