New season!



Hello dear friends & family,

Today I found myself in a new season! The season of gratitude and apologize. Yes, I have nothing to complain about even with so many "whatevers". I realized that I have so much to be grateful for, the season of:  what, no, what, no,... is over!
Yes, its over and now a new time will begin, a time for laugh about in the hard moments, a time for say thank you with a smile even if in the way could have some whatever.... this is life, is not perfect, is not problem free, its not just flowers, life has stones and spikes and these make life even more challenger and because of that life turns much more excited and full of stories and great experiences.

I read in this morning about the trees. Trees are amazing! In all seasons trees keep growing no matter what, in the dry season they grow slow and the wet season they grow in full speed! Like the trees I want to keep growing in all seasons no matter what. That's my goal, keep moving forward no matter what.
I was thinking why the begging in the beautiful Maturin was so hard????? Well, I was in the richest place on earth, with the easiest life on earth, before landing in this mysterious Maturin, so, it's normal to be shocked with everything..... but now, my eyes are much more gentle, my heart much more opened, my smile is a laugh! I'm back! Yes, I can live the things life brings, I can enjoy the treasure hunt for food, I can understand whys, I can be thankful for being here.
I really needed to be here, I needed to learn again about simple life, I needed to grow like the trees, I needed to find happiness in the most simple task, in the most simple daily routine! Maturin, is my city now, is the place which is teaching me and my family great things, sometimes with tears but most of the times with a smile! And now, I need to apologize when I asked God Why I'm here? He knew that I needed to be here to be able to grow like the trees, in all seasons.!

Yes, it's a new season! A season to be thankful, a season of learning and appreciate the opportunity to grow!!!!!

So, next time if you feel sad about life, think about the opportunity God is giving you to be like trees!

Once again, .... miss you!!!!!!!! Always!

Saving the napkin!

Hi dear readers, Since a long time, buying things in planet Venezuela is a challenge, but now we are facing the worst  time ever! Some time ago a friend mentioned that in the future, because of the lack of food, we will have to eat soap!!!! Ironically, I can't find my favorite soap!!! Another day a friend suggested me to cut the paper napkin in half, because is hard to find napkins too! So, in the afternoon we cut the napkins! WOW! What can I say? No comments, just trying my best in saving, cutting, stocking, all kind of things. Even with this situation, we are good, we always have food on the table thank God, for the soap, we started using hotel soap we brought from our trip to Hawaii years ago! Every time we travel we bring food, soap, and now the newest product in our list is the toilet paper! LOL It's ridiculous to have to buy toilet paper in another Country, but what can we do????? From almost 3 & 1/2 years ago until now we are having the same problems, even wit...

Hi dear readers, Our little adopted kitty "Bebe" inspired me to write this post. I noticed the little kitty who lives in our backyard is very alert about the beautiful and colorful birds flying from tree to tree in our garden. Every time the birds land in our trees they sing, and the kitty starts looking and planning how to get the yummy bird. This week I saw the little cat very alert about the birds but without success in capturing her lunch! But today around noon, our little cat finally conquered her mission, she had a beautiful yellow bird, she brought the unlucky bird to our door and with her best pose and showed us that her mission was accomplished with  pride and glory! Poor bird, glorious cat!  That's life, if we ignore the dangerous that surrounds us maybe someone get luck with our lack of care. If we don't pay attention to life maybe we will pay a huge price for our lack of responsibility. If we don't see the "signs" maybe we will  be lo...

Hello dear readers, Today I woke up inspired to write this post. I was thinking about the tragedies our world is facing, also about the sadness, the corruptions, the lies, all the terrible attitudes that human beings can have if they do not have moral, principles, conscious and love to share. Why is the world is like that? Why did the world became a hard place to be, why did the moral and good manners became jokes, neglected and are not being seen as the most precious treasure? Here in planet Venezuela, things are worse than ever, the lack of food and other goods are making people crazy. There are lines everywhere to find the basics, there are soldiers with heavy guns all over the cities, the grocery stores are closed to regular clients, only  people who stand in lines can buy the  products that the government allows to sell, these products are controlled  by the government, they control the price and the quantity  that each person can buy. For example they sol...
