Dream Career

My dream career would be to become an author, the best author there ever were. I'm so terribly inspired by life and the events I have lived through. I'm inspired by the people I love and admire, which are my husband and children. How can I admire my children? how can I not? I've been blessed to be in the presence of genius and that is nothing to take lightly, not only are they smart........they are sweet souls that dance around me and fill my heart with joy. I live in a fairytale and I am the queen. Okay now you see what I mean about being an author and writing books. Maybe I should start with a children's book since I see life in such a beautiful way, much like a child sees the world. I have come to love my life and be happy with it as it is, many around me find it weird........or too sweet, yes, sadly there are so many in this world that think life should not be so happy, they are people who have not been given the opportunity to love and be loved. I hope someday they will find the truest of loves and feel the happiness it can bring. It's about feeling a freedom like no other, of letting go of all judgement and feelings of self consciousness, I guess giving all of you is just that...... living without conscious or limit,of loving without keeping score. I guess I couldn't really be an author, I go from one thing to the other. I could write a jumbled book for jumbled people like me who like to talk about this and that, might even call it the book of Knick Knacks. Well, I suppose being an author could be lots of fun but also lots of work, getting all the spelling right (thank God for spell check), proper grammar and punctuation..........how about I just make Audio books? well after all it's my dream....

Sisters

I have four sisters, each one of them very dear to me and very special in their own way. We are all a little mirror of the many qualities instilled in us by our Mother. In particular I will speak of one of them today. My dear sister Anna. She came to San Diego for the 4th of July weekend, and we had a blast!! a blast from the past!! because every time we are together now, it's all about remembering the good Ole days. Remembering the good and the bad and at the end laughing our hearts out at how silly things were, now that we are (older) more mature. We open up our hearts to each other and release those hidden moments that were once so painful to us, we hold each other tight and know that love conquers all, and love forgives all. There is no bigger gift in life than having Family to love and share memories with. There is no other person in the world that has been there with you through childhood moments be them good or bad, only a sibling can relate to you and feel empathy for what youv'e been through. Siblings are the best thing in life, they were there with you in the best of times, what better time in life but childhood! when we were all free and full of hopes and dreams, most of all full of FUN. When I'm in the prescence of my siblings, I let lose, I'm happy, I'm in peace and I'm my best..........I'm a child again.

TRYING NOT TO JUDGE

I have learned through life and trough mistakes I've done in my life, that I shouldn't judge others because I have lots of defects myself. I've come to accept that life is more than going through it looking at what I don't like in others. I try hard to control my urge to talk bad about others, though sometimes it's way too hard and I do it, but believe me, I don't feel any better after I do it. So if it's something that brings no joy to me, why do it? why waste time on something that doesn't have any positive effect on anyone?. In that case, the judging is kept to a minimum and I work hard at not doing it at all if possible. I would like to come to a place in the road where I don't care about other peoples shortcomings, I just love and receive love, I keep my life simple yet happy. I've wasted so much time in my life, at different times in my life. I've thrown away my time and energy on people who really didn't deserve it, at times taking away from the people who most deserved it......my children. I guess maybe it wasn't wasted time, I've read that everything happens for a reason.......although sometimes we can't find the reason no matter how hard we look. But I have to trust that God put those people in my life for a reason, and that somehow I might have taken something positive from them, and in some small way they took something positive from me. I do feel I lost some precious time with my children because of these people, but that's okay, I won't be too hard on myself. I have always given my children an enormous amount of love, so I know they are all good in the love department. Hopefuly I'm a bit wiser now, and will put my children first, unless it's someone who really needs and deserves of my time.

Max is so cute!

Max is not only cute, he is a little piece of sunshine in our home. We are all so in love with him. He is changing enormously, he's now officially 4 months old, and it seems like only yesterday he was born. He is definitely bigger, and now he seems more alert and interested in the things going on around him. He is a blessing to our home and our lives. He is the cutest little fella. We love him so much that we end up missing him so on weekends. He's a joy.

Tuscan garden begins

Summer vacation is going great, after a week of the children being out of school, we are still sorting out our days. We are up and about by 10:00, which is when my little pollito is dropped off. He is so cute! I enjoy watching him like nothing else in the world. He gives me such joy, it's a great gift to be in the company of a little baby, more like a little piece of heaven. As for my kids, we are working on coming up with a list of possible jobs they can do around the house. They are always wanting this and that, so I've told them they could work for me and earn some money for their million wants. Today, Gilie and Andrew will be painting a wall outside my kitchen. It will be a sunny yellow wall. I'm excited about creating a Tuscan garden right outside my kitchen. I hope it turns out the way I envision it. But if it doesn't that's fine, you can't go wrong with paint, it's the easiest thing to fix if it doesn't look good. I will post a picture of it as soon as they are done with it, I'll show you the process of my Tuscan Garden. Weather wise, it's not hot yet! we are in the middle of some severe June gloom, and it's really looking gloomy :(

I can't wait for some warm days to arrive, so I can jump in my pool. Okay, off to work on that Tuscan garden.

Reik Concert

Well, we did go to the concert and it wasn't what I thought it would be. The group was awesome, they sang their songs with all their hearts and gave a great show, but the down side was all the teens pushing and shoving to get to the front. I am truly getting "old", I wanted to go to the second floor (were all the old timers sat around drinking), but I didn't want to leave Moni, Natalia (niece) and Erica (niece) all alone down there. But for sure, I did belong upstairs looking down on the show. In the safety and commodity of a chair...........drinky in hand. Next time I guess. Moni seemed to have a great time. I did too, I just had to keep battling it out with the teens to keep my space. Reik does give a great show, full of energy.......and if you haven't heard them you should download some of their songs, they are really nice and Romantic. Very teen in love sort of thing. Okay that's my review, and next time, I'm upstairs with all the old folks.

Reik concert tomorrow

Hip Hip Hooray!! tomorrow we finally go to the Reik concert, it feels like we've been planning it forever. I'm taking my Moni and my nieces Natalia and Erica. Iv'e been a fan of Reik for about three years or so, since they came out with their first CD, now they are like on their third or fourth CD. Little by little they became one of Moni's favorites too. We listen to them on the drive to school, and we know most of their songs by heart.........so we will definitely be singing their songs at the top of our lungs. It's such a great thing to have such a sweetie daughter that likes the music mumsie likes, so we can enjoy such a great concert together. I can't wait, I know we will have such an awesome time! Fun times for sure.
