Love

Love is beautiful.
Love see's no boundaries.
Love in the purest sense,
is breathtaking.
I could wake up daily,
to the sense of no tomorrow,
as long as love is the center.

Patience, Perseverance, and Commitment

There is a natural flow
which at times, can feel magical.
I can't really say how to catch it,
but I've observed it happens
when I'm most open to love
and the experience of what is to be.
It's as if the world opens opportunities,
connects dots and pieces the puzzle,
when I'm ready to see the picture.
Patience, perseverance, and commitment
have led the way…
I'm meant to just listen, and act.

Spirit is Open

It's all about this moment.
What I feel, believe, think,
will manifest into tomorrow.
If I fill my days with fear,
apprehension, doubt…
tomorrow will look hopeless.
But if I choose to see light,
opportunity, positivity…
than hope breathes
the lightness of air.
Fait, destiny, and synchronicity 
has it's greatest potential...
when my spirit is open to it.

Mind

It all happens in the mind.
If I am to succeed,
it's because I see it and feel it…
it already is.
If I don't, it's because I've allowed
mental landmines,
to sabotage my potential.
As difficult as circumstances 
appear to be, they're not.
It's all perspective…
again in the mind, therefore, 
I choose to see great things.

Words

Words -
Thank you for always being there.  
Thank you for truth even when I didn't see it.
Thank you you for listening
when I was too scared to speak.
Words -
You're more powerful than I ever knew…
I find you on pages from 20 years ago -
you truly amaze me.
Words -
I will be eternally grateful
for the clarity you've allowed me to discover.
Not only do I respect your every letter,
I understand the depth of your meaning.
Thank you.

4 L's

Let go of doubt…
believe in your dreams.
Laugh instead of cry.
Live the life,
you see in your heart.
Love that you're alive.

Something Surprising

It's crazy how life can change
with an unexpected encounter.
Life is headed one path,
when destiny shows up
and sets you on another.
It's a sweet intersection,
when opened to love.
The tumultuous tides
have transformed 
to something surprising...
more than kind.
The light was always there -
it just took time to bask in it.

Mindful Decision

It's been raining all day -
that doesn't mean it has to rain inside.
I woke up this morning, 
looked at the grey skies,
the water coming down, 
and made the mindful decision
to have a great day.
Outside elements can only interfere 
internally if I allow them.

Clarity

Clarity comes from within.
Its not what someone says,
it doesn't come from wise books,
it's not the support from loved ones.
While these channels of positivity 
are blessings to the spirit,
if I don't seek clarity, it doesn't matter.
For me, clarity is in here…
sometimes covered by layers.
I must choose to remove the layers
and let my authentic self shine through.
Not everyday is perfect but daily, 
my consciousness seeks to find joy.

Change / Cambio

Change is exciting.
Change invites opportunity.
Change can also be scary.
It's okay to feel a little scared.
It's quite normal.
For me, I'm allowing myself to feel
all the emotions while keeping in mind,
how great this change is.
Life is always changing…
it's a good thing.

El cambio es emocionante.
El cambio invita nuevas oportunidades.
El cambio también puede causar un poco de temor.
Está bien sentir temor.
Realmente es normal.
Yo me permito sentir
todas las emociones mientras pienso,
que alegre es este cambio.
La vida siempre está cambiando…
es algo bueno.

Imagination / Imaginación

Today, my imagination took over.
It's been a long time,
since I let this child like feeling
take over my mind.
And it was great…
the thoughts were bright,
colorful, inspiring, and exciting.
With the complications of life
and responsibilities of being an adult,
I forgot how amazing this feels.

Hoy, mi imaginación tomo primer lugar.
Ha pasado tanto tiempo
Que hoy dia dejé la etapa de mi infancia
tomar primer puesto en mi mente.
Y fue increíble….
los pensamientos fueron brillantes,
con mucho color, inspirantes, y emocionantes.
Con las complicaciones de vida
y responsabilidades de ser adulto,
me olvidé que increíble esto se siente.

For Everything / Por Todo

As the seasons change, so does life.
Whether it's a sunny day,
or rain with powerful winds…
it's all necessary.
Today, I am grateful because I woke up
and chose to live with truth, love and conviction.
Nothing is guaranteed in life -
for this moment I will live in the now,
and say thank you…
for everything.


Como las estaciones cambian, tambien la vida.
Si hace un día soleado,
o lluvioso con vientos fuertes…
todo es necesario.
Hoy, estoy agradecidas por despertarme
y elegir vivir con verdad, amor y convicción.
Nada esta garantizado en la vida -
este momento lo viviré ahora,
y doy gracias…
por todo.

With You

No matter what I read,
of how to disconnect from the mind,
I can't help but feel alone without you.
Love is such a funny emotion,
dysfunctional love can break you,
while the pure essence of love keeps you alive.
And I've reached a point
where I don't need to read about love- 
what it should or shouldn't be.
I understand the need to be whole first,
and even with that level of completeness,
love fills a void I didn't even know existed.
I write this because I'm in love…
and in love beyond my flesh…
The pure spirit of love searched for a body
so it can manifest into pureness,
and I feel this has happened with you.

The Reality That May Be / Realidad Que Puede Ser

Close your eyes,
and connect to your dream.
It's as real as you allow it to be.
Doors shut, are not obstacles…
rather lessons that strengthen your core.
The point is to not give up,
despite the adversities, the naysayers,
the days when it doesn't seem possible.
Because one day, it can all happen…
your dreams are glimpses
to the reality that may be.

Cierra tus ojos,
y comunicate con tus sueños.
Es tan real como tu lo percibires.
La puertas cerradas, no son obstáculos..
mas bien lecciones para renforzar tu corazón.
El punto es nunca renunciar,
a pesar de las adversidades, los que no crean,
hay días que sientes que no es posible.
Porque en un día, todo pueda pasar…
tus sueños son vistas
a la realidad que puede ser.

Even When

The future is changing,
and with all the joy in the air,
I have to admit, there is thought.
Links of the past seem to have fallen 
in perfect sequential order… 
I'm not quite sure how it all happened - 
it's further proof God's hand
has alway been there…
even when I didn't see it.

And Believe / Y Creer

Who says plans aren't working out?
What do I have to prove?
This movement within my heart,
won't always be tangible for others to understand.
That doesn't mean I stop.
When I sleep, my dreams speak to me…
when I'm awake, I find signs leading the path…
The personal connection to this goal,
is something very real.
One day at a time, that is all I can do...
that and believe.

Quien dice que las cosas no están trabajando?
Que tengo que probar?
El movimiento en mi corazón,
no siempre será algo que otros entiendan.
Esa no es razón para que yo parar.
Cuando duermo, mi sueños me hablan…
cuando estoy despierta, veo signos guiando el camino…
La conexión personal a esta meta,
es algo bien real.
Día por día, es todo que puedo hacer…
eso y creer.

Whispers in the Heart

The whispers in the heart
where I am second,
is the voice that guides me.
Some will understand…
other's will critique.
But none of it matters -
judgement does not fit here.
What happens with the breathe of 
love, peace and understanding,
is what compels me to do.
It all matters, and serves a purpose...
as simple as waking up today.
How this truth is manifested,
depends on what I do.

We Can Change the World

A sad part of life, is we are all going to die.
Nothing can save us from this inevitable truth…
Not money, power, fame - we just can't hide from it.
If death is certain, our time would be best spent
doing what we love.
Fear is an emotion….it isn't real.
Our mind can shift, grow and gain a new perspective.
We must believe in our hearts anything is possible.
If there is passion, love, and vision,
then follow your dreams.
Collectively, we can change the world.

RIP 
Steve Jobs

A Mother's Love

As I look back at the scenes of my past,
I am lucky to see one constant link threading the story together.
I was blessed with the gift of a Mother's love.
Childhood memories circle in my mind,
as I recognize the message there to learn.
Like a timeless love story, the recurring picture,
no matter whether the story evoked happy or sad feelings,
my mother's comfort and warmth were always there
to accompany me through my journey.

For years, I overlooked her solid presence.
I took it for granted, assuming
she is ‘Mom,’ that is what she is supposed to do.
But now I know, she didn't have to do a thing.
There is a greater force, a love in her heart,
which has become completely evident to my soul and mind.
Her humility added compassion to my reasoning.
Her kindness softened the harsh realities I lived.
Her perspective gave me eyes to see another side of life.

I will never forget the strength and courage she has exuded,
a time in our lives when we could have fallen apart.
The weight of the world fell on her gentle shoulders,
and without hesitation, she carried it all, as she saw something,
she tuned into something, our blurred eyes could not see.
She held on tight and never spoke ill to cloud our minds.
If she felt pain, she carried it alone, only showing us love.
It was her conviction as a woman, a mother,
that meant class and dignity 
were the characteristics to shine brilliantly
and adorn her broken heart.

I reflect how purpose and determination
always kept her focused.
There has always been a vision in her heart,
one that needs neither words, nor description.
It simply is.
And to know her is to see it.
She is a woman of few words.
She is not showy, extravagant, or ostentatious.
Her ways don't require explanation.
There is something sincere about her spirit.
She radiates a timeless warmth.
One best described as,
to the fortune of my brother and I, 
a mother's incredible love.

Believe It Is

It's another day with more opportunities.
It's all how I choose to see it.
Did I wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
What really makes it wrong to start off with?
It's all a mental choice and attitude.
If I want today to be great,
I have to already believe it is.

It's all a Gift / Todo es Regalo

In the rainbow of feelings,
we're lucky to feel…
I'm floating on the color of love.
While life's complications
are part of the journey,
I choose to see the good,
the hope and light.
It's all a gift.
The certainty that life will end,
is reason enough
to make everyday count.

En el arco iris de sentimientos,
que tenemos suerte de sentir….
estoy volando en el color del amor.
Mientras las complicaciones de la vida
son parte de el camino,
yo elijo a ver lo bueno,
la esperanza, la luz.
Todo es regalo.
La certeza que la vida terminará
es razón suficiente
de hacer que cada día cuente.
