In every moment of Gratitude
There is a shift in perspective
Altering dimensions of the reality
Renewing the faith in the flow of life
Regenerating possibilities in grace
Integrating the mind body spirit connection.
Harmonizing all of life and living.

Stories from Life and Living
In this series I share stories that are thought provoking, inspiring, motivational or touching our lives in some way or the other.
Better late than never
My mom had a lot of problems. She did not sleep and she felt exhausted. She was irritable, grumpy, and bitter. She was always sick, until one day, suddenly, she changed.
The situation was the same, but she was different.
One day my dad said to her:
– I’ve been looking for a job for three months and I haven’t found anything, I’m going to have a few beers with friends.
My mom replied:
– It’s okay.
My brother said to her:
– Mom, I’m doing poorly in all subjects at the University …
My mom replied:
– Okay, you will recover, and if you don’t, well, you repeat the semester, but you pay the tuition.
My sister said to her:
– Mom, I hit the car.
My mom replied:
– Okay daughter, take it to the workshop, find how to pay and while they fix it, get around by bus or subway.
Her daughter-in-law said to her:
– Mother-in-law, I come to spend a few months with you.
My mom replied:
– Okay, settle in the living room couch and look for some blankets in the closet.
All of us at my mom’s house gathered worried to see these reactions.
We suspected that she had gone to the doctor and that she was prescribe some pills of “I don’t give a damn about 1000 mg.”
She would probably also be ingesting an overdose.
We then proposed to do an “intervention” to my mother to remove her from any possible addiction she had towards some anti-tantrum medication.
But what was not the surprise, when we all gathered around her and my mom explained:
“It took me a long time to realize that each person is responsible for their life, it took me years to discover that my anguish, my mortification, my depression, my courage, my insomnia and my stress, did not solve their problems but aggravated mine.
I am not responsible for the actions of others, but I am responsible for the reactions I express to that.
Therefore, I came to the conclusion that my duty to myself is to remain calm and let each one solve what corresponds to them.
I have taken courses in yoga, meditation, miracles, human development, mental hygiene, vibration and neurolinguistic programming, and in all of them, I found a common denominator: finally they all lead to the same point.
And, it is that I can only interfere with myself, you have all the necessary resources to solve your own lives.
I can only give you my advice if you ask me and it depends on you to follow it or not.
So, from now on, I cease to be: the receptacle of your responsibilities, the sack of your guilt, the laundress of your remorse, the advocate of your faults, the wall of your lamentations, the depositary of your duties, who should solve your problems or spare a tire every time to fulfill your responsibilities.
From now on, I declare all independent and self-sufficient adults.
Everyone at my mom’s house was speechless.
From that day on, the family began to function better, because everyone in the house knows exactly what it is that they need to do.

A HAPPY WOMAN!!( pls feel free to share)
Coloring all the way
Every flower speaks its truth
As much as every part of nature
Finding its own identity
Like day and night
Dusk and dawn
Colored through myriad hues of light
Creating hope and beauty of life
Nature says, in the most colorful way,
Flow through the day
Express your self uniquely along the way!
Happy Festival of Colors
Happy Holi!
Savvy
Dare to dream and walk on
Continue to persevere
In patience and passion
In faith and belief
In hope and trust
There is much good
You are meant to do
In your journey of life
Doubt not your ability
No matter the naysayers
For there will be plenty
Of those who will say so…
But very few who help
You do, what you do
In perseverance & patience
You create your purpose
And you find yourself
In possibilities.
It’s all possible because you know in your heart you can…
Savvy
It’s all in the nurturing
Plant a life in hope
Nurture seeds of compassion
Water it everyday with kind deeds
Nourish the roots with care Enrich it with love for life
What you plant in your heart becomes you
And you reap what you sow
Now the question is what are you nurturing in this now ?
And what do you want to nurture today?
Savvy
They say when life gives you lemons make a lemonade and enjoy it!
Profoundly said indeed!
Wisdom is in seeing what is possible
Making the best out of the resources
With whatever there is at hand.
It’s not always easy to see hope in scarcity
For it demands thinking beyond the limitations.
Bringing forth ingenuity & integration
Then all that’s impossible becomes worthwhile once again.
For such is life in the living.
A little sour and a little sweet
And it’s all in the tasting.
And about sensing in every sip.
Savvy
A skill is only a rumor until it becomes a muscle memory
But beyond the skills we choose to cultivate in life…
There are certainly abilities worth cultivating for a lifetime.
Ability to see the good in life.
Ability to respect the people for who they are.
Ability to acknowledge diversity of thoughts and opinions.
Ability to coexist in peace and harmony.
Ability to generate goodwill whenever we can.
Ability to laugh and bring humor in conversations.
Ability to dance in the rain
As much as move with a lightness of being.
We all have the ability to live life lovingly
All it needs is embodying in our lives.
Savvy
Hand in hand
We walked
Sometimes me ahead of you
At times you ahead of me
Hands held together
No matter the test of time
Two hands of two hearts
Still together as one.

Do you know…
How beautiful is your face
When you smile…
How happy is your heart
When you laugh…
The Journey of life
Often challenges you
Where your smile is forgotten.
All you need then is to be
A little easy on yourself
And begin take life lightly
Take yourself a little less seriously.
For all you know
Chances are you will get over the grim moments
For change is the only constant .
All is meant to be just fine…
Just care to smile and laugh a little more
And find yourself
Living life lovingly!
Savvy
Aim to give selflessly
Whenever you receive goodness in words and deeds
Ensure you give back generously…
Acknowledge the good celebrate it
And reflect the rays of kindness
That way the sun beams never turn harsh
And the heart always feels light .

My photo of the day! Blooming in my terrace garden…
Roses have a beauty of their own
Colours contrasting with the green leaves
They blossom and capture hearts
Arrestingly captivating
To look at , enticingly fragrant
So delicate and fragile
But in all their vulnerability
Their charm flows in abundance
Always a sight to behold
Amazingly significant
For a Life so short lived!
Such is the wonder of life and living!
Amazing nature! Amazing beauty!
Teaching us it is not the length of time we live , but in how best we can live the time we have!
Savvy
To be truly happy
Cultivate self love
Be content with yourself
And you will be happy
Inside & outside.
Savvy
If you truly care to listen
There is much to understand…
So much to discover & more
For your soul speaks to you
Intuitively in every now
It knows your path
And where you are headed
It’s you who needs to trust
In your self in your journey.
And know, you are developing
Your intuitive connection
Every time you listen in.
Savvy
In every now
Is a choice
To enhance life
Within and around you
Whatever path you take
But how you live your life
What you feel in the living
What you choose to notice
What you are listening
And what you understand
From it all defines the now
And charts the way ahead.
Savvy
When I change my conversations
To include words of gratitude
To become more positive
To have words to thankfulness
In deep appreciation and conscious awareness
Of possibilities in the infinite potential
I begin to influence myself
To see beyond my limited self
I became conscious supportive and allowing
Of the positive changes
In and around me
This is the point of influence
That I can sense, resonance
In the echoes from within
That I hear in all of my being
A reverberation of the bless
