On Wednesday evening on my drive home from work, my check engine light indicator came on. The car itself was driving perfectly fine. I arrived home and told my dad about it and he said he would look at it in the morning. Next morning, I went to the car and the light was still on.  I called the car dealership to take the car in on Friday (my day off) they asked if I had put gas in the car and I said a few days ago I had. So I made the appointment for Friday morning at 8:30 AM.  I had to cancel my training session. I also had to cancel a class I was schedule to take as well. This morning as I drove on I-75 to the dealership, I was a little tired. I also realized I am so grateful I do not have to drive on I-75 in the morning rush hour. I arrived to Coconut Ford and told the service guy, I had an appointment and the whole story. As Dylan the service guy I had the appointment with comes over and we begin to talk about the situation. When he turned the car on, the light was gon...

I always love receiving signs and confirmation that my ancestors are with me. I love receiving divine signs all together. Coins from heaven. Feathers from my angels. All are deeply special to me. I am forever grateful each and every day to be blessed with signs, for I receive them every day.  Today was extra special. Before work I went to Walmart to buy a few things. When I went to the self check out there I found some coins from heaven. Immediately, I express gratitude to my angels. I went to work. It's the day after Memorial Day so it's kinda slow (until the very end) - so Leo comes to work out and before he leaves he treated himself to a protein smoothie (we have the most delicious smoothies, our secret ingredient is LOVE) so Leo sits at the counter and we begin to chat. He mention he hadn't been to workout since Thursday because he got a new tattoo. Now mind you, Leo has been a member with us for years. And we've spoken about his mom before in other occas...

Sun Therapy  Memorial Day at Barefoot Beach On this Memorial Day, my dad and I went to Barefoot Beach Preserve County Park in Bonita Springs, Florida.  It had been 2 years since my last trip to the beach. Due to Hurricane Irma and the red tide.   It was such a great day. I love listening to the water.  I am thankful to have this opportunity to enjoy life and say thank you to all the men and women whom serve our country.  We should always remember and be thankful not just on a holiday. I live my life in such a way. Grateful for everything. Grateful for everyday. Grateful for it all. This little fellow was near my dad's chair. Eating some grass. I was feeling the warmth of the sun. I love the trees and the boardwalk they have at this county park.  Sitting near the water. Soaking my feet. Listening to the waves.  Being still and feeling grateful. My dad listening to his jams. Soaking up the sun. Finally m...

Girls Movie Date I remember watching Aladdin with my kids when they were small.  I am enjoying seeing all these favorites come to life. Aladdin by far has been my best.  This movie was spectacular.   My girlfriends and I went to watch it and we all agree it was AMAZING. We watched it in IMAX 3D and it was 100% worth it. If you haven't gone to watch it - GO!! You will love it.

So, faith is no more than the willingness and bravery to enter  and ride the stream. The mystery is that taking the risk to be so immersed  in our moment of living in itself joins us with everything larger than us.  And what is compassion but entering the stream of another without losing yourself.  Mark Nepo 

"If you had a rough day today, take a deep breath and give your day to God. Those rough days build your character, endurance and strength and in turn, prepare you for your purpose. So don't get weary in well doing, keep pressing and don't quit. You will look back one day and it will all be worth it."

Feathers Finding feathers on your path is one of the more commonly known signs of the angels. Feathers of any color are a beautiful reminder that your angels are near, loving and supporting you from behind the scenes. When you find feathers in a place which is somewhat abnormal is an especially powerful angelic sign. When you find white feathers they’re almost always a sign from your angel… Even when you’re in a place where white birds are present. Guidance from the angels also comes more subtly. Angels are constantly drawing our attention towards signs, and they leave clues and hints which serve to nudge us in the right direction. While many of these angel signs may seem small at first, when focused on, acknowledged and appreciated, they often increase in frequency and size. Angel signs are all around and can come in a variety of ways depending on your current challenges, next steps, or the questions you've asked. Your angels know you, and so they know which signs will capture...

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won if he'd stuck it out. Don't give up, though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than  It seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor's cup, And he learned too late, when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are - It may be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - It's when things seem worst that...

Happiness Love Peace Joy in life Live in harmony Love one another Do not judge others Let go of the past Enjoy each and every moment you have here on earth Be grateful of all the little things we sometimes take for granted Share a smile it can brighten someone's sad day The sky is so lovely this morning The birds chirping send happiness to my soul Breathing in the air is life recharging my soul My pets are so funny Peanut loves getting Niko's treat He is quick to eat his and runs to get Niko's I love my doggies We are almost into the true holiday season I love when the radio starts playing Christmas music Although it never feels like Christmas here in Florida I miss the snow The change in seasons Each year it's like 80 degrees during Christmas Makes me homesick I wish it got cold during the holiday I love Thanksgiving Day Great food, laughter, enjoying family time I love my kids Miss them Trying to make sense of what doesn't make sens...

Are you living in a state of gratitude?  There is power when you live in gratitude.  The movie The Secret taught me some important things, first of all your thoughts become things.  What you focus on that is what you will attract in your life. Living in a state of gratitude means your thoughts should be on being grateful for the things you have NOW. By living in this state of being....the universal law of attraction says that we will attract into your life the things we focus and think about ....if your thoughts are on lack (negativity) you  will attract that. But if your thoughts are on your many blessings than the universe says lets give more things for them to be grateful for......so remember GRATITUDE attracts what we want. Another area that I've notice people having a hard time with is accepting a blessing from others.....remember when someone gives you a $20.00 bill it is the giver that shall receive a blessing. So many times I see people want to cut off the...

I am reading the book  " Women Who Run With the Wolves" book written by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. I highly recommend it to  ALL women! I came across this sentence  A woman may try to hide from the devastation 's of her life, but the bleeding , the loss of life's energy, will continue until  she recognizes the predator for what it is and contains it.   Immediately, I was enlighten to a truth. I was that woman hiding the devastation of being abused from the world. I pretended to be happy for a very long time.  My soul was bleeding inside. My aura energy was losing life. I continued reading ( I only recommend you read 2 to 3 pages a day, allow yourself to reflect on what you've read as this is a very profound book) and this next sentence spoke to me. I am about to share something with you that only my family members know and my oldest son remember as well.  And it isn't until I have read this sentence that I realized my soul was warning me to get hel...

Here are some Feng Shui tips for your bathroom. Of all Feng Shui rooms, the bathroom presents the greatest challenge due to the drains that can extract ch'i from your home.   Always Keep the Bathroom Door Closed.  Even though this is a general feng shui tip that always applies to bathrooms, no matter where in your house they are located; it is a  very important one to apply when the bathroom door is facing the front door.

There are times when things that happen in your life seems as if it's the end of the world. You ask yourself "Why me" or "Why now" but as the quote states it's overcoming these life "challenges" that at the end give your life more meaning!  Life is not easy. But we have to realize that when we are faced with challenges or as I call them "life lessons" ...there is something that has to be learned......sometimes we will face these "lessons" over and over again.....basically my friend it means you haven't "learned" the lesson.  The next time you are faced with a challenge or lesson.....take a few minutes to just sit....close your eyes....ask yourself "WHAT is it that I need to learn from this?"  once you've asked that question....just close your eyes and in a stillness.....you will get your answer!

Spiritual Enlightenment  is the ability to understand that there is a higher being in the world. People often think that they are their own greatest success. A lot of times the decisions that you make and the chooses that you have, give us greater opportunities in life to succeed and achieve some of your goals and dreams.  It is not until a tragedy occurs that in some of us, our inner being is awakened. People have an excellent opportunity to learn how to relax and let your spiritual being be in control of your life. A lot of us do not realize that until later in life. And all along, if we were to just trust our spiritual being that will lead us to spiritual enlightenment. Life is full of ups and downs, highs and lows and hurt and pain. But when you learn that there is a higher power and someone else in control you learn how to enjoy peace and harmony in this world.

My Mother  How many teenagers blame their mother, father, and even God for their life and everything that happens to them? I will be  very honest, I was one of those teenagers. After first  watching the movie "The Secret",   I realized that blaming my life situations  was keeping me from living my true purpose.   The choices  we make lead us to our path....if we make bad choices  we  will be faced  with tough, rough roads...but if we choose good than we will be in smooth, safe paths. Since becoming spiritually awaken and truly living life in a state of gratitude, I have learn that every lesson is meant for learning, for growth, to guide you into your path towards your life purpose.  NO ONE is responsible for the choices you have made but YOU.   Parents - you should not blame yourself for your children decision. When we begin to take responsibility for your choices, a shift will occur. On Mother's Day, I was able to share ...

When you live with an open heart ....... you can't help but see everything thru the eyes of LOVE! When you see LOVE in everything....you are in a state of happiness....gratitude....joyful....peaceful....you are in a state of bliss! Your heart (even if you're going through tough times) is pouring out LOVE! You shine like a star! ** Close your eyes at this every moment and take a deep breathe in and as you let that breathe out.....imagine LOVE surrounds you...feel the warmth of a hug....a tingle of a kiss....just enjoy that bliss! Blessings

I wanted to share this thought with you today because of something that happened to me the other day. Do you know that YOU are responsible for YOUR own happiness? There are times when we have to deal with lessons in life. We grown up with divorce parents, sometimes without parent(s), or sad events that effect our lives. I know because I have been in those shoes. I will be honest there was a time in my life that I blamed everyone else for my happiness (because I wasn't living a happy life).....it wasn't until I began "dealing" with me that I began to discover so many things. I know that "I am responsible for my own happiness!" not my parents, not the bad relationships, not my family, not even my children.  I am responsible. Now that I know this I want to share my insights with others.....I know LIFE can be a challenge BUT nothing that you are going through should steal your happiness!! Life is a gift!! No matter what YOU are dealing with....sometimes we m...

Limiting beliefs are The constraints in your life, Negative things said That you anchor in your mind. When you think you can do Something wonderful and grand, You pull a message from Your thoughts to ruin your plan. Make it a goal in your life To overcome any doubt and fear, Never second guess yourself To allow limiting beliefs to interfere. Fill your mind with positive thoughts And your heart with the will to believe, Your hopes, plans, goals and success Are meant for you to be achieve.       ~ Zenaida Roy-Almario
