What a wonderful way to start a new blog in English with a "Currently" post. First, I have to give tons of THANKS to
Danielle Hampton for being such a huge inspiration since day one when I found her in this web world.Thank you so much Dani! So Here it is for a lovely and wonderful 2013!
Excited about: This blog. Excited about this very scary but so wanted adventure of writing and expressing myself in another language. I am very happy about this personal challenge, among others that I am sure I will be sharing with you. I wish I can really get to communicate all that I want. I am excited about the possibility of opening doors to get you to know me better, to get you to know my uni-verse and my journey. I will have to study more my English, I will have to review my posts over and over to be sure that everything is clear and correct before I publish them, if you find a mistake, I apologize in advance! I promise I'll do my best, promise!
Thinking about: How almost 80% of the time I refrain myself from what I really want to do, and all because of a ridiculous fear that I had let grow in my mind and my soul for a very long time. I have these fears of not being accepted and understood... how bad and sad is this?! I know it sounds ambiguous, but deeply in my heart I know who I am, who I want to be in all aspects of my life and how I want to enjoy and embrace the now. So what?! I want to start killing all those fears, I want to not take things personal anymore, accept life and things the way they are, it is all okay, that does not mean that there is no love in this world. I have so many personal goals and all of those are summarized in just one word, LOVE. That is all, LOVE, this simple and short. So I have been thinking about this, about the love that I want to give myself, about the love I want to share with the world. Thinking about being me with no fears, with no shame, and letting myself open the doors of my heart to new and different things, that at the end, will make me happier! Even if they are not the way I always dream.
Reading: "The Way Things Are" by
Lama Ole NYdahl I decided to read it after a very good friend of mine ("my guru" as I call him) recommended it to me. It has been shocking and a totally learning experience with this reading. I definitely want this "full being" feeling be permanent in my mind so I can practice it all the time. This book is an approach of a Buddhism practice in today's life. So much to learn....!
Looking forward to: A highly desired and dreamed Yoga retreat that I have been dreaming for so long. I have been wanting to go to this Ashram in the Bahamas and finally my dream is coming true. I am still in shock, very excited, bouncing on the walls, beaming and trying to digest the idea that I am actually going. You know when you want something so bad and then when you get it, it is so hard to believe it... Well, that is me right now, and again, being very grateful and believing that dreams do come true, just when they have to become true and real, perfect timing, perfect everything.
Loving: Okay, I never thought in my entire life that I would fall in love with running. I do Yoga and when I was younger I use to swim a lot, but running? Never!! And... yes, I love it. My oldest son had expressed in the past that he will like to be a "runner", so.... Last October, we registered for our first 5K at our local gym. We trained for two months and ran the 5K on January the 1st of this new year. We had lots lots of fun and we both loved it! So guess what? I registered for my second 5K this coming May and I can not believe it!!! I guess this is what happens when you get out of your comfort zone and try new things....! I am loving it!!! Thank you my sweet son for showing me the way!
Well, if you read the whole post and survived it, thank you so much for taking your time and be here with me in this new adventure! I really appreciate it!
Love♥
