From My House Door to the Unknown

About to turn and walk away, without the need of getting over alarmed, I'll be coming back home anyway.

I wonder what is after the unknown, I'm excited to make many things happen, but before I want to make sure to let those know I love them, and that I care more than what is imaginable.

I want to do what I am supposed to do. Here I am, closer to my house door to depart towards the unknown. 

Every morning I try to wake up slow, I do a little bit of everything, I do what makes me happy in order to improve. All I truly have is a pocket full of dreams, I am from here, no need to go back to New York City to build up new dreams and feel inspired.

Last winter began roughly, one day I was sad and worried, the next day I was the happiest. I missed the smiles I longed to see, I missed the hugs I longed to receive. There are many memories here inside me from the last four years, sometimes these memories knock me down, sometimes I just put them away (just like the song says).

Most my friends tell me I am a very strong woman, and I guess I have proved that to myself. I always try hard to put sadness and frustration away; it has helped, but some things in life hit me hard. I usually do not mention what hurts me the most because it's out of my hands. The only thing that is on me is the attitude I take towards it.

“Life is either a great adventure or nothing.” - Helen Keller

Happiness

I have always believed that happiness is also a habit.

Making someone laugh : ) Hah!

Going To New York City For The 3rd Time

I went to NYC for the very first time at the end of March 2012, it was an incredible adventure and I had a really amazing time. Some of the coolest things in this adventurer life happened to me and they made me very happy. 4 months after I went again with one of my best friends, and I got to see so many other things that I could not visit the first time I went. Now, 4 months after I'm going again but this time is for a different purpose. I'll be there for a leadership conference in the big apple. I'm very excited to visit NYC again, so many things to see and do. I love NYC! I wanna dream like New York.

If I get murdered in the city
Go read the letter in my desk
Don't worry with all my belongings
But pay attention to the list

Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Make sure my mother knows the same
Always remember there is nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name

Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day?

Mine is the endless summer, right before the leaves begin to fall as my dreams... I shall compare thee to a summer's day, bright as your dreams and as joyful as can be...

What I treasure the most

I feel very grateful with the life I have to learn and progress. I have been given many opportunities to experience joy and real happiness. My friend Fernando told me sometime ago that every time I made reference of the year 2002 in my life when I met him in 2004, I used to do it in a very thoughtful way and that was because that year marked my life forever. Between the years 2000 and 2002 I experienced many things that made me long for a happy life. Things were not pointing towards the future I was longing and life was not making any sense, and this is not corny. Really, life was not making any sense to me.

The day came for me and my family in 2002 when our lives were changed and taken to the path towards real happiness. What was brought to my life was what I was needing, my soul was so hungry and needy. A lot of my friends were a lot older than me, I was not living the childhood stage anymore, I wanted to jump quickly to the adult life so I was aware of my reality and the reality of others around me. I told myself that I would strive myself to make my family, my future family and myself happy as much as I could and that's why I'm so willing to do whatever it takes to prepare myself to be a good counselor, friend and companion for my family, future family and friends. 

I'm preparing myself right now to get a good education and I know that at the same time I have to work side by side to be mentally, temporally and spiritually prepared to face life. I had to go through things that I wish I never had to go through when I was 5-6 years old. They probably were not as bad as other people's but they refined my character and made me very strong even though I was a little girl.

Now I don't have many trials nor hardships but I know they will come sooner or later. What I treasure the most at this moment of my life is the peace and comfort I can receive from the gospel. That is definitely the best thing I have in my life, with only thinking about it my heart is filled with joy and gratitude. I feel very loved by a Heavenly Father who has never left me alone. I know He knows me by my name and He knows the greatest desires of my heart. He gave me wonderful parents that represent His love with their genuine love. 

What it means to me...

The atonement of Jesus Christ

For me it means that my soul can be healed... It means that I can start over again... It means that I can feel clean... It means that I am really loved... It means that my life is a gift... It means that my heart can be purified... It means that I'm nothing without it... It means that my guilt can go away... It means that I can have peace of mind... It means that I want to be better for Him... It means that I am eternally grateful... It means that I can be born again... 
                                I know that my Redeemer lives! 

About My Blog

I love reading inspirational quotes.

I don't know how can I talk about this, I don't pretend to address my thoughts to anybody... These are just random thoughts that I just want to share. I love creativity and design. I just want to see this 10 years later... I hope my children find it.

I love the stories in my life, I add some claudistic magic to the precious moments haha just because I like them and because I treasure the moments in my life don't matter how insignificant they might seem... They make me so happy.

I have come to understand that it is about me feeling happy with myself and with the people around me. The happiness is in my hands and it depends a lot on the way I manage it. Yes, people in my life make me happy like when I see a friend that comes to visit me after having moved so far away... Or when someone prepares me a surprise or when my sister gets me something I have been wanting so bad (material things? Who cares? But they give you satisfaction, agh) and many other things. Yeah I feel extremely happy when something good happens... But how do I keep it? Yes that's the question... It's your choice! I have decided to be happy and make myself happy regardless of the things that make me worried or sad. No, I don't want to give any space to sadness in my life.

I try hard to forget the bad/sad moments that happen to me and I replace them by doing the things I love. Yes, practice more the things you love... You have no idea! The way you see life will change a lot! I can promise you that!

You will discover yourself and realize that you are awesome even if people don't even know about the things you can do or who you really are. You don't need anyone to tell you how great you are, if you know that about yourself... That's enough! You feel good with yourself and don't need to compare yourself with the rest. You probably would like to have other talents, other circumstances, other problems, etc but what is there for you is what makes you unique, deal with it. Appreciate it, don't think too much about it and stop making your life complicated. Life is short, live it up!

Don't look at behind thee... Keep moving forward, don't even try to go back to make changes, the past is past and you've learn from it. I see every day as a new life. I can be different today... I probably didn't do as great as I wanted today but I will tomorrow. I promise it!

Tears of Happiness

Watching this video has reminded me about the love I feel for the sacred things that I can perform in the temple. I feel so identified with the story of this three youth, I feel like if it is me who is talking in that video because is so similar to how I felt when I was there in August and the yearns of the two siblings of getting sealed to their parents are so similar to my desires 4 years ago.

 I know this is truth, this temple is another house of the Lord Jesuschrist.

Overcome Weakness

Become More Fearless by Watching this

When you feel scared of making a decision you should move first with conviction and then see the results instead of trying to see what the results will be without having even made a move

So often we are tentative and don’t move forward with conviction. We feel along our way as if we were afraid in the dark. It is so much better to turn on the light of faith and move ahead with energy and commitment. If our course is wrong, we will quickly recognize it and make the necessary adjustments. But if we pursue a course tentatively and indecisively, it is difficult to know whether it is right or wrong in time to correct it and make a difference. We should decide now to make our decisions prayerfully and then move forward with faith, energy, and determination. – Robert D. Hales (Axiom 2)

Things From Today

Being honest is being brave--->Having the courage to tell the truth.


I was thinking about my life and how much has changed. I feel like a completely different person. I feel that I have been doing those little things that I've been commanded to do and that has made all the difference...

Needing to feel happy?

Do the things that make you happy, they will take away your depression.

Sunshine in the Soul

There is sunshine in my soul today,
More glorious and bright
Than glows in any earthly sky,
For Jesus is my Light.

O there’s sunshine, blessed sunshine,
When the peaceful, happy moments roll;
When Jesus shows His smiling face,
There is sunshine in the soul.

Opening hymn for the General Relief Society Meeting, Sept 2009.
