Better To Be Safe ~ Getting Educated With Allstate’s Let’s Go Campaign

I wrote this post as part of my participation in a blog tour for Latina Mom Bloggers on behalf of the Allstate Foundation and received compensation to thank me for taking the time to participate. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

This week, I participated in a conference call with various bloggers nationwide with Jorge Monsivais, the national voice for  Allstate Insurance for the Hispanic community. The teleconference was about “¡Vamos!” or “Let’s Go!” first-ever national survey looking into the attitudes and behaviors of Hispanic teen drivers and parents.

I myself am a survivor of a severe car accident because of a guy that was driving my car and lost control on a highway exit. So I know the consequences of speeding while driving! You can read my story here.  My son was nine years old at the time, and now at 21, I always talk to him and remind him of the importance of driving safely. He knows..he almost lost his mom to an irresponsible driver.

In fact, that same day we drove together to the gym and I told him that I was no longer going to look at my phone during red lights in the car. I took it to heart since being a role model is of supreme importance. I never text nor look at my phone while driving, but I did at stops. Not anymore. The phone goes in the back seat!

I am a single mother of a 21 year old son. He lives with me and is currently in his third year at Florida International University. My household consists of just us two plus our two little chihuahuas. Since I work from home and he spends a lot of his time studying here, we share great quality bonding time.  One of them is going to the gym and motivating each other to stay in shape. We also do it for the mind since it helps us to stay focused on all our own activities. And since he is such a tall muscular guy, we spend alot of time in the kitchen cooking.  He eats all day!

Feeling Peace and Bliss In Chaos

Peace-and-bliss

So where do I start? As I said in my last post, I wanted to share some stories  that I haven’t shared on this blog when I had my own near death experience, also known as my peace and bliss in chaos in 2002. In the story of the boy in the movie, Heaven is For Real, he said he want to heaven, saw Jesus and the angels and came back. It was a vivid visual experience.

My story is a bit different because I am not as visual. Have you heard of the different kinds of senses we all have? There is clairvoyance (visual), clairaudience (hearing) and clairsentience (feeling). Most of my life, I have been more of the “feeling” type. It’s kind of like the gut feelings. You can’t describe it, but you just kind of know.

 I also have sensitivities in hearing, like when I get inspired when I am at the beach and sit down with pad and paper and some really nice words spill out. It doesn’t happen as much anymore because I am so busy working and some of my work includes technical things which make me utilize my left brain a lot. …
