Hello loved ones,

I feel the need to let you into my world.

Believe it or not, people approach me all the time: in the shopping malls, in the stores, at church, in the train station, in restaurants, etc.  They tell me their story… and I am thankful for that.  They come with a story, they usually leave with a question.  I usually tell them they don’t need to answer the question. I advise them to let the question unfolds, and the answers will reveal themselves in time.

I question what they see in me, that they feel compelled to talk, to reveal their most intimate stories? I am truly humbled by that.

I see myself as a fun loving kind of woman, intelligent, deeply spiritual, sensitive more than I like to admit.  I like to learn.  I have an inquiring mind.  I practice the art of being present.  What does that mean, you may ask?  Well, it means I practice observing what is going on inside of me, outside of me, and around me so that I can quickly adjust what is happening in the present.  I call it an art because it takes practice, and I am not there yet.

MY GREATEST FEAR

My greatest fear is that when I stand before my maker, I will regret not having lived the life that He has purposed for me because I was too scared.

I sincerely believe that God has planted a seed in my heart.  That seed sprouted when I was about 7 or 8 years old.  I believe that every time I felt that seed grow inside of me, I managed to push it back down because of fear: “Fear of not being good enough, fear of what will people think, fear of what if I fail, fear of what if I succeed”, insecurities, doubts, “Who do you think you are?”  ENOUGH!!! It’s enough to drive someone mad.

LAST YEAR

Last year, I almost bled to death.  I was loosing my energy little by little.  It felt like parts of me were shutting down one after the other. My hemoglobin count was going down (53), and down (36).  It was a year of total transformation.  As I was losing blood, I was gaining insight of who I am in Christ.  I journaled a lot. I learned all the “I AMs” that are part of my incarnation.  I am now free!!!

WHY AM I BLOGGING?

I don’t know about you, but when I was younger, my friends had the tendency to write “I was here” everywhere: on trees, on bathroom stalls, on doors, in the sand, any place they could find.  Well, blogging provides me with my “I was here” moment.

I also blog:

• To inspire you
• To uplift you
• To enlighten
• To empower you to take action
• To propel you forward

I am feeling better now.  I had to learn to take care of myself, to love and accept myself UNCONDITIONALLY, to set up boundaries so I can protect myself.  I learned to live fully present in the present moment.

I am thankful for everything that God has allowed me to go through.  I am grateful for the lessons.

On my blog, I will provide tools to enlighten and empower you, my loved ones, to move forward.  I will teach you what I have learned: to love and accept yourself unconditionally.  I will bring back the focus on you because if you don’t learn to take care of yourself first, you will not be able to take care of anyone else.  It starts with YOU.

 “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” Matthew 22:39

I AM NOW FULLY AWAKE

Last year was a wake-up call.  That was not the only one that I experienced in my life.  What made this one different? I guess it is the realization that I live on borrowed times; that in a single moment, everything can change.  I can no longer afford to keep pressing on the snooze button.  CAN YOU?

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Glorious Life Unfolding! Say it again: Glorious Life Unfolding! Say it with a smile this time: Glorious Life Unfolding!!! Yes, it is indeed – a glorious life unfolding.

This name was carefully chosen after my reflections on everything that happened last year: 2013.  As I felt depleted on a physical and emotional level: energy loss, hemoglobin at 53 then, 36, I also realized that I was being filled on a psychological and spiritual level: I was going through a spiritual awakening.  I understood that my life was unfolding and is unfolding gloriously…SO IS YOURS.

Enough about myself.  I would like to hear about you.

I welcome you to join me in these wonderful, thought-provoking conversations.
