Parting with 2025 in full gratitude, for everyday was a gift and a lesson.
It taught me that the deepest losses do not take love away; it is in those times that our deep love endures.
It taught me that everyone carries their burdens differently; the weight depends on how much Light fills our lives.
It taught me that service isn't rewarded in displays of self-promotion; it's in the quiet conversations with our Creator.
It taught me the flame of the human Spirit is undistinguishable; there is always a spark to rekindle our fire.
It taught me that forgiveness is not a negotiation between two people; it is a single promise to your Spirit that grants you Peace.
It taught me that Purpose isn't a banner across a finish line; it's daily steps that bring you closer to attaining peace of mind and heart.
It taught me that heartfelt connections survive time and distance; they thrive in those moments of feelings and memories.
It taught me that my journey in Life is a constant arena of choices, which can create unsolicited judgments; I will "Let Me" with self-love and "Let Them" with freedom.
Most importantly 2025 taught me that time is but a fleeting concept; it waits for no one. But it does grant everyone more of it, one day at a time. I'm taking it!
May the year(s) behind you be full of lessons, and ideas for new possibilities for the New Year & beyond!
With (unfiltered) Grace & Gratitude,

Everybody's got a story.
My flight was delayed 2 hours. Just enough time to grab a bite to eat at a terminal restaurant. I opted for the bar - usually a less than comfortable spot for a woman sitting alone. I've finished my meal - Papi's favorite, a glass of Apothic wine and a ceasar salad. It feels completely appropriate given the circumstances. Weighing in at 100 #, I realize one glass is my limit. I admit, I am a "lightweight" in this world.
I look around the bar, and note I am the only woman. As one of my "mentors" would say - "Notice That!!". I look at each man, all on their devices, and conjure up stories. Based on what - their expressions? Their demeanor? Their level of intensity? All observable - but compared to what?? I could make up "stories" - just like they could make up stories of me! But I would bet 1 b-zillion dollars none of them would imagine that I sit on this stool, at an airport bar, waiting for a flight to my Motherland, Ecuador, with the Soul purpose of going to lay my Papi's ashes to rest. They can't possibly conjure that the backpack I hold close to me was his "comfort mechanism"; or that it holds my heart-infused written eulogy, or a few of Papi's treasured belongings. So I sit quietly, observantly, eyeing the world revolve around this one moment.
Yes, Life goes on..... for some. For others. Life takes on a whole new meaning. One of longing; of releasing; of surrendering.
Whatever you're holding on to.... that too will change. To inevocably embrace that truth is to enter into the liberation of suffering.
Life has many lessons. I am learning that "The Art of Letting Go" is the most crucial one. This is truly my most precious journey, and the most profound Love Inspired Journey!
I am ready!

I was blessed with 2 feathers on my walks today. I'm a Lucky Lady to have such a persistent Angel!
FEATHERS
I sent you a little white feather
I placed it right there in your way
I wrapped it in love with a message
to let you know youβll be okay
I drew you a colourful rainbow
It followed your car for a while
I made a spectacular rainbow
I hoped it would show me your smile
I flew down a beautiful robin
It landed right there on your ledge
I prayed he would give you the strength
to push yourself back from the edge
I try every day to remind you
that I never did go away
the feathers, the rainbows, the robins
are my way of trying to stay.
