Good Sunday evening to ya! Hope you had a good weekend and got a lot done. If you're relaxing this fine Sunday or just finished the preparations for the brand new week ahead I've got a special treat for you! If you're a lover of the 80s like me you would enjoy this. I said I would do it...but now I'm doing it right...I've declared Sundays...Flashback 80s Sunday! Soo much feel good vibez. On this space we'll be celebrating once a week everything 80s from music to movies, commercials and fashion. The decade for the Big hair, hairspray and shiny clothes. [Soon there will be a 90s Rewind as well;) so stay tuned for that.] The great thing about the internet is that all our great memories of a golden time has been captured on film or audio. So feel free to post your own memories;) xo

Like minds...

It's a great feeling when you discover that you have things in common with other people. Sometimes you feel that you're all alone in your emotions or challenges and it's comforting to know that there are other like minds who share your beliefs, values and goals or was once where you are now. I am by no way comparing myself to these fabulously successful entrepreneurs but I've listened to them speak and I sometimes hear my thoughts in their story. The common thread is that we all do what we do so as to enrich the lives of others. We have something to impart and share with the world. My goal is to inspire, to bring about change in my readers modus operandi or change their way of thinking for the better. In the process I also learn more about myself, grow and evolve into a better person so as to lead by example. We are all here to share and learn from one another and each of us have a special message to impart to another, we just have to tap into it and harness it.

I thought I would share with you a few other blogs I follow (which I wish I can really devote more time to reading!) but when something catches my eye...it's definitely worth the time. Some of them include:

Paul Coelho's Blog 

The Daily Love - Mastin Kipp

Marie Forleo

The Fearful Adventurer - A Blog by Torre DeRoche

Almost Fearless - Christine Gilbert

Just today a colleague introduced me to Robin Sharma's site....muy interesante~!


Check out his interview with Sir Richard Branson here! ----> http://www.robinsharma.com/blog/05/what-i-learned-from-richard-branson/

These are just to name a few....please feel to share your own

They say the internet is quickly replacing hard copy books...do you agree?

Bye bye Dallas...

Is it still Friday where you are? I wish I got the chance to wish you all a Happy 1st June....but in case I missed it....wishing you the very best for this month. Hope all your dreams come true. I'm finally back home after a fantabulous vacation. I'm sitting here wondering why did it have to end??!!But such is life. Got to do quite a bit within the time I was there and enjoyed every last drop. I have a few more days to rest and enjoy before it's back to reality once again and return to my day job;(

I think I have adjusted to the change over in time zones from Central to Eastern (or La Paz) time. My phone and watches are back to normal and the weather is a bit cooler....believe it or not! Did not know that Texas gets into the triple digits in May!  All through the night and morning before I left there was a huge thunderstorm and tornado threat. My flight got delayed twice...but thank God I'm back safe and sound. It was a smooth flight with little or no turbulence.

It's amazing how you can be in one place one minute and then halfway across the world the next! Technology sure is something. Although I miss Dallas and I did not get home sick not once (broke the record this time!) I am somewhat happy to be home again. You know what they say "there's no place like home." Now I know I'm only a phone call or 6 hour flight away from the ones I love;) Thanks to you for making my 1st trip to this city doubly special! XO

Vacations give you a new perspective and makes you appreciate the wonders and sheer splendour of this majestic universe and the people in it. It's worth it to step outside of your own reality for a minute to experience it...as often as you possibly can. It doesn't matter where you go..."Just Do It!" 


For those of you thinking of taking a trip to Dallas, here are some of the sights to enjoy!

Tribute to Donna Summer

Another legend dies. This time it's the Queen of Disco. Although I was a bit too young for that era, I know almost all the words to most of her songs. That's what music does for/to you. Music is timeless.

Condolences to MS. Donna Summer's family, friends and fans. We shall surely miss her. RIP

Please follow the link for one of her mind blowing hits--->

A Tribute to MOM

Happy Mother's Day to all those mums who have experienced the joys of motherhood or serve the role of Mother! A special greeting to those celebrating Mother's Day for the first time.

The following is an excerpt taken from my new book - THINKING OUT LOUD

To all the Moms around the world especially my Mom 

She…

Knows what we’re thinking without us having to utter a word

Serves multiple roles – mom, sister, best friend, boss

Believes in you even if no one else does

Can’t stay upset for longer than 24 hours

Offers the best advice although you may not always admit it

Has the fortitude and willpower representing generations of strong women

Has made endless sacrifices and would give away her last possession for her family

Embodies truth, determination, courage and discipline

Makes the best meals, fudge and fruitcake to cure any human condition

Allow you to make your own decisions even after she has offered her pearls of wisdom

Mom we love and thank you.
