Peace of Mind ~ My New Years Resolution For 2013

Peace of Mind / By / 4 minutes of reading /

Peace of MindIts finally quiet.. I got some peace of mind! For the past three hours workers were pressure cleaning the house next door. That loud motor rumbling after a while started getting to me. “When is it going to be over?” I thought as I peeked outside and watched the workers spray with their loud equipment. I really couldn’t get annoyed because the workers had borrowed my water supply to connect the pressure cleaner for the empty house and gave me $20. But the sound was getting to me after a while.

Last night I decided to go over some of my handwritten writings from eight years ago, when my life was not as hectic, a time when I would spend much quiet time writing and had plenty of peace of mind. At that time, it had been only 2 years since my car accident that almost killed me. You can read about it more on my Blanca’s story page. Two weeks ago I celebrated 10 years of my life renewal from that accident, which I have always seen as a blessing.

Tonight I attended a Twitter party to get the vote out. Check out the PR Newswire link from Voto Latino to see how many people were joining!

Joining Voto Latino in the #iVoteBecause Twitter party are Project Vote, NAACP, The Advancement Project, Rock the Vote, APALA, Non-Profit Vote, Bus Federation, Ya Es Hora, Our Vote, Mi Familia Vota, Fox News Latino, NALEO, The News Taco, Latino Rebels, Planned Parenthood, Latina Style, Politics365, Serve 60, Fight for the Future and other civic engagement and community groups.

Along with the partner organizations, there will also be a coalition of celebrity activists in attendance including Rosario Dawson, America Ferrera, Wilmer Valderrama, Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas, Gina Rodriguez, Carlos Santos and Erik Rivera.

And… many regular people like me whose voices matter. My first tweet was just that:

There are so many issues affecting this country. I think about the future,when my son finishes college in three years, how the economy and how strong America is going to be, affordable health care, immigration rights for Latinos , gay rights, women’s rights, education…. and so many more other issues to think about. I have never been so reflective of an election wondering who will take the helm and hopefully lead us to a better place. I simply pray that the right man will do his best to work under extreme pressure to take us there.

Here are some tweets out of the thousands that I favorited from the stream tonight that reflect the voice of the community and which trended worldwide on Twitter!  See link to Natascha Otero-Santiago’s tweet, my awesome Co-Director at Latism South Florida.  Sorry there are so many…but they are only a few of the thousands. Every voice does matter!

Seeing the Big Picture From The Plane On Southwest Air

Events, My Life / By / 3 minutes of reading /

When I started my journey of blogging four years ago, I simply had a vision of wanting to inspire in some way. To be able to get in that inspired mode, I spent many days going to the beach to see the sunrises and sunsets, besides taking pictures of my butterfly garden. That is where I find the quiet time to reflect and look ahead at my life.

I took this photo of the beautiful sunset on the airplane on my way back from Latism 12 Conference as I looked out the window many miles high in the sky.  Same sun, different view…

During the course of these years, I have met many beautiful people I now consider friends. In fact, I can honestly say that 90% of the people I interact with now never existed in my life a few short years ago.  That is pretty amazing considering the fact that I am in middle age. …
