The fact that there were 155 people on board and everyone survived is a miracle. I take my hat off today to this pilot who maneuvered the plane to the water. These kind of stories make you think how life is so precious, and probably in that instant when the plane was coming down, many people started praying. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/plane_in_river_survivors. I know because my mother is the survivor of an airplane accident.
It was a long time ago when I was about 6 years old. But on that flight, not everyone was so lucky. Half the people died. My mom walked out without a scratch. She says that in that moment all she did was ask God not to take her because she still had something to do in this world. First of all, she had 5 young children who were at home with my father. She was going to visit her family in Colombia. Now after all these years, having witnessed a woman so incredible and her intense faith is enough reason for God to have spared. Her faith and belief in God is of steel, a strength I have never seen in anyone else.
Witnessing this all my life has been my greatest inspiration and honor. I am glad God spared her so I could enjoy my life with her, as I still do. It is because of her that I have been able to gain my own strength in my challenges. She has been a good example. This picture was taken in June in the pre-operating room right before my surgery. She has always been there for me in all my challenges. What a blessing!
I have learned that even if I am good at being a self motivator and having gone through major challenges in my life like divorce, near death experience in a severe car accident(and breaking alot of bones), it is easy to forget what I went through when the storm passes. I know I went through major stress in those life challenging experiences, but now being confronted with this financial meltdown, another challenge, reminds me that this too shall pass.
Of course I am in the midst of this very challenging experience like alot of us are. I do my best in what I have done in the past and it is to simply let go and really let God. Continue Reading->
(Update 9/9/9: I sent my manuscript to only one publisher. Much more editing needed to be accomplished. The excitement during this time of actually sending it out is the fuel that carries me to continue to pursue my dreams. It has been a hard 9 months since this day. More chapters have been added. But I have never let go of my dreams.
When I go back and read this, I wonder how I even had the guts to do all these videos. But here they are. They are like a time capsule which will remind me to always believe in myself. I have to walk my talk right? I am on my way. You never know what life brings you. Take the punches and keep on kicking! )
This 21 day journey, which started out on a whim, has been so amazing for me. First of all, I got my book out! This is HUGE for me!!! I have been dreaming of this forever. I feel like came out of the closet, as a writer. I am soooooo excited to share my message of greater love into this world. When I get doubts that this book will be a success, I remind myselft that it was written from the depths of my heart and I was surrendered to God in the moment. That is all what matters and if doing this 21 day journey was God’s way of pushing me to get this book out, then so be it. God is leading me now. He can be the captain, I will be the co-pilot enjoying the ride.
I am feeling so happy, creative and with a zest for life that I never really had. I am in love with life! I appreciate life because I almost lost it six years ago. Did I have one of those NDE(near death experiences) that so many people talk about? Maybe. I was not conscious of seeing a tunnel or a light. When I muster all my focus to remember that moment of the impact of my car accident which nearly took my life, all I remember is seeing some feet glowing near my car, as if someone, or some angel was there protecting me.

I started this 21 day process because of an idea when I woke up one morning and I followed through with it. Maybe doing this whole process helped me to strengthen even greater my faith and surrender in God. Now that I have recovered from my surgery in June and am able to walk stronger, confronting the thought of losing my house and having to even let go of being a Real Estate Broker is a big thing.
With every miracle, or out of the ordinary occurences that have happened in my life, I can move through this with the faith of steel with God that my own mother has. She is an inspiration by her faith. I have never encountered anyone in my life with this kind of faith. Continue Reading->
I had a productive day with my assignments as a Home Retention Consultant. One of my assignments involved Fannie Mae as the owner, so I am putting it out there that Fannie Mae hires me as their REO agent in Miami. You know what, I am not just putting it out there, I am SEEING that Fannie Mae will hire me as their agent, and I will have more than enough business to keep my home. It is ironic that I am working for one of the Asset Managers as a home retention consultant, but it is good because I can relate to whoever I will be talking to, I mean, really relate. I am not giving up. I am persisting with my vision that everything will fall into place.
I also talk about my persistence in exercising when I was recovering from my surgery while having an Ilizarov attached to my leg. I mention a video I did for my doctor. You can see it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i39YL3SA1F0&feature=email
