Bags and Wings

Have you ever tried so badly to solve a problem and couldn’t it? Have you ever try and try to understand, to answer, to think, to analyze a problem and couldn’t it? Have you ever thought that you had the answer you were looking for and then you decided  to go for it and soon you realized that you had no chance at all? Anyway, I did! I had a sad situation in the past, I was decided to win a battle, I planned, I thought several times about it, I studied my thoughts, I searched for knowledge, I was so evolved in the situation that I forgot the most important thing…. I went to “war” and I was destined to lose since at the beginning. Yes, I had no chance whatsoever to be victorious.  Since the beginning  I wasn’t ready to lose, but I lost!  And then, I cried, yes, I cried for being such a naive person, for not to have the right words, for not planning better, for not win. It’s so hard to lose when you know you are right and they are wrong, but in life there is a terrib...

"I spy with my little eyes something blue"! Do you know this game? Kids love to play "I spy"! So do I! Since I got in the planet Venezuela, I spied a lot of  "something" ugly! Oh, yes, sadly! In the beginning my little eyes were able to see the "ugly, the dirty, the annoying,..." oh,it wasn't nice to play I spy! But, as we learn, in life all the things pass and so my little eye which spied the ugly, the dirtiest,...., you know! I decided I was tired to spy the opposite of the beauty and I begun to look above and suddenly my little tired eyes saw the colors of the rainbow, the blue of the mountains, the purple of the flowers,.... and I was cheerful about what my eyes and heart could see despite of my past experience. I told before in an old post and I'll say again.... we need to open our hearts to see the beauty in life. I still spy the ugly but when I look above I can find the rainbow! Let's find the colors and paint...

Sometime ago I heard about the everyday "stones" each one of us have in our daily routine. I thought about the "stones" and I realized that even the little stones can be giants that we have to deal with it. So, my question is: what is my giant? Well, dear reader everyday a giant can appear in our lives, that's a fact! But, do we really have giants or we have the talent to transform those little "stones" into huge rocks impossible to crush, in giants impossible to defeat? I can't answer for you, but I can assure you that even giants we can defeat! Remember the little shepherd David who defeated Goliath, the mighty giant? David had such powerful mind, he believed he could do it because God was present in his life. He knew he could win Goliath! Nobody believed in David, even his friends laughed at him, but David didn't hesitated, he was faithful, he was courageous, he was a warrior!  Well, in the end David without powerful guns or a...

What a day! Wow! Well, June was another surprise in planet Venezuela! I thought I was prepared for the ID day but in the end I realized that I need more practice to improve my deep breath concentration! You will understand what I'm talking about after read this.......... This is my story of the ID day, here it goes.... All foreign people must have a Venezuelan ID, but the process to get one is horrible, so that's the problem.I  and the kids went to the ID department!!!!!! We arrived at lunch time, we wait 10 minutes in line and we started the process, pictures, digital finger prints, questions, and then the man who was helping us didn't know what to do with us,... so he left his table twice and went  searching for answers, when he came back he finished the process, and said that we should go to table number 9. We went to table 9 and the lady told that he did almost everything wrong, so we went back to his table..... after we finished with him the table 9 lady wrote my ...

I believe the first rainbow mentioned in a book was the one which appeared at  Noah's time. From there to here, rainbows bring smile, color and beauty after a storm! Rainbows are considered good luck, rainbows also remind us of a antique promise! Accordingly to wikipedia rainbows are used as flags too. Rainbows flags has a long tradition; they are displayed in many cultures around the world as a sign of diversity and inclusiveness, of hope and of yearning. Good things come from the colors of the rainbow, great and positive promises, feelings, energy, hope, smiles! Did you notice that every time you see a rainbow you immediately want to share your view with someone else? You probably say:"look, the rainbow, so beautiful"! Right? There is something good about rainbows! Since I got here, in the planet Venezuela, since the first day I began to look for signs! Yes, divine signs, which could tell me the reason of being here, als...
