Life is so short. And however strongly I feel about living a long life, I realize the importance of living each day to its fullest. Perhaps I do this, but I fear that most days I do not. My pray for us all is long life and good health, that we may seek every opportunity to find the good in others and to dream our childhood dreams. I don't feel that removed from my childhood, back to the days when I would spend hours imagining what I would become, and anything to make my life better than the personal hell I was living in sometimes.

I felt compelled to write you all a letter. To those of you who share my life long distance or next door, I love you all. Deeply. Sincerely. I would not be the woman I am today if it wasn't for you. Truly. And the deepest of my desires is for true friendship, to share my time with people that I can count on day in and day out. To know that I am loved by you, despite my faults. Yes, I am aware that I am different than most, perhaps because I am on a creative path, and I often need your understanding and compassion. I don't follow a traditional course and for that I am faced with adversity.
You know my heart well, and for that I am pleased. I thank you for your love and support of who I am and for all the reasons I am here on mother earth. My breath is given life, just knowing I am befriended by you.

Be well.

Your friend always,

I wanted to say a special thank you to all of you who have taken the time to send me an email. Thank you ! Each email inspires me. Even the negative ones. I don't expect to please everyone. But the fact is, I am not online to please people or to gain any sort of approval. I write because it's part of me. It's what I do.

I am always amazed when I receive nasty emails (always from women). These women actually take the time to insult, criticize and mock either myself or what I have written. This of course, as we all know, reveals so much about who they are as people.

I am a firm believer in speaking your mind. And having an opinion. And having the right to the freedom of speech. Thus, these emails never insult me or offend me in the least. They simply are words that I can post on my web site and become interesting reading material for all of you!

I gain strength from criticism. And from affirmations. I respect a person who can speak his or her mind. I cannot tolerate a wishy-washy, I-don't-know, what-do-you-think? attitude.

Really, it takes guts to have a site like this. And the place I write from is, my soul, and life experience.

Be well.

There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be.

That's when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down.

But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.

There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.

Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.

So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.

Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Keep Believing in Yourself!

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.
Think big anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack if you help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you might get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

Do you think world peace is possible? Do you think there is a likelihood that we could all exist on planet earth in peaceful accord? I go back and forth with how to answer this question myself, sometimes being positive and thinking it is promising. On the other side of the coin, I doubt it will ever happen. What would it take for world peace to be a reality? I shall be bold enough to say that as long as human beings are obsessed with power and their own fragile egos, there will not be such a thing as world peace.

Poetry is everywhere. In the depth of ones soul, at our fingertips, and in the moment we look into the eyes of those we love. Poetry is in our memories, in the miniscule flashes of our childhood and perhaps beyond. We are empowered, blessed and even forever changed by prose. Are poetry just words that make up flowing sentences; or is there more to it?

Con todo mi corazon
agradezco a todos ustedes,
amigos de este mi mundo paralelo
a mi otro mundo no virtual
por las muestras de cariño siempre...
Gracias por sus lindas palabras,
por sus abrazos,
por los correos,
por la amistad brindada.
Los años me envuelven,
con ellos vienen recuerdos,
balances,
propositos,
alegrias,
ausencias,
miedos,
sorpresas,
retos,
mas vida...
Yo confio en que este año nuevo
que pronto llegara
pueda cumplir aquellos
pendientes que me esperan...
Gracias de verdad
por ser parte de esta alegria
que me produce el estar
frente a esta pantalla
desde este rincon del planeta
y alcanzarles con una sonrisa
y con esta emocion.

Los quiero mucho.
