Leadership

I arrived home with one main question in my mind after attending the Latina Blogger Retreat with top Latina executives and a trip to the White House: “How can we sustain the momentum and energy from one of the highlights of my entire life?”  I go to many conferences feeling exhilarated from new connections and networking. But this event was very different.

It consisted of a workshop which gave you the space to focus on creating a business out of our blogs, setting a goal for a year from now and getting ideas and insights from successful women in top corporate positions.  The opportunity to talk one on one with these women in leadership positions gave me more confidence in what I would like to do with Mi Caminar. Stay tuned;)

Last year, I was thrilled to see Alex Grey and his wife Allyson do live painting at Moksha Art Gallery in Miami during  Art Basel week. I have had one of his books titled, Sacred Mirrors, for the past 20 years on my coffee table. So seeing them in person for the first time was a huge treat, plus the ambience of live music in the background made it a WOW.

I also was lucky to attend Latism 11 in Chicago last week, happily sponsored by an amazing company, I Hispano serving the Latino community with huge resources for jobs! Besides that, the people behind it are so down to earth and real.

Anyway, I know, you are wondering, “What does viewing a live painting have to do with the Latism conference?”  My answer comes in a few words: Vision, Passion, Love and Creation. A good artist friend of mine, Anya Nadal, once told me she always sees the paintings in full detail before she even puts one stroke of paint on the canvas. Sometimes, she even sees them in dreams in a huge wall sized canvas. …
