Changing The Way Things Are Framed

As of late you’ll realize that I have gone all kinds of introspective. Sometimes when life gives you a good shake and you need to put things back together, that can happen. But it also seems as though a lot of my friends are feeling this way too. I’m not 100% sure what happened to 2018 – the year we all said “would be different” – but it’s been a doozy. Ups and downs are always going to be a part of this beautiful chaos we call life, and sometimes I have to remind myself that I can only control my reaction to it all. Lately I have been trying my best to focus on the beautiful moments, people, and memories that have led me to where I am today. And I have been trying my very best to change the way I frame things.  Continue reading “Changing The Way Things Are Framed”

¿Existen los tiempos perfectos?

Hace unos días estuve reflexionando un poco sobre los mejores momentos de mi vida y lo afortunado que me considero por la vida que he tenido. No soy alguien que cree en cosas como el destino ni tampoco en que alguna especie de ser sobrenatural determine lo que me pasa en la vida dependiendo de mi comportamiento a través de premios o castigos. Sin embargo, me gusta pensar que existe cierto tipo de energía en las personas y que las cosas que nos suceden dependen en gran medida de la carga positiva o negativa que tengamos. Si bien no soy practicante de ninguna religión, entre tantas teorías y credos me gusta la idea básica de las leyes del Karma y Darma, que dicen que cualquier acto, sea bueno o malo tiene su consecuencia.

En consecuencia: No existe acción sin causa ni tampoco causa sin acción. Continue reading “¿Existen los tiempos perfectos?”

Another Lesson. Another Tattoo.

Well it’s October 18th and I’m officially 35 years old and a day. It’s a surreal thing to have made it all the way to this day after some of the most difficult months I have had personally in a very long time. It’s nothing that we need to get into, but it is important for me to acknowledge the strength it has taken to just get out of bed some days. I have been really trying to focus on my mental, emotional and physical wellbeing and for the most part it seems as though the hard work is paying off. There are of course still challenging moments, but to celebrate my birthday (for some reason it felt like some kind of milestone) I opted to get myself a tattoo. And I wanted to tell you why and what it means because I love sharing beautiful moments of inspiration with you all when the opportunity presents itself.  Continue reading “Another Lesson. Another Tattoo.”
