Are we too busy to live in the moment?
Does it take catastrophic events like the plane crash in Ukraine to wake us up? I was a Flight Attendant for 26 years and I never ever thought that going to work was that dangerous. On the contrary! It was exciting. Travelling around the world, meeting new people, exploring new cultures, tasting exotic food from all the different countries and trying something new all the time. I was well trained to handle all type of emergencies: turbulence, evacuation, medical and even, misbehaving passenger. And there was many of those. Preparing for emergency landing, restraining ties on one or more passengers, heavy turbulence, weather challenges, etc..you name it. And of course I feel totally blessed that every time I got to get back home. Sometimes much later then the expected time but I still made it. Alive and well. Thank you. Thank you Universe to be there with my time schedule on your lap. Now this? Or should I say what for, how and why this? A missile? Seriously? This plane was probably filled with people going to visit Bali, the “Island of the Gods“. What is our world thinking? What are we doing? When are we going to stop and start breathing in the moment of every thought we have, every move we make, every action we take? When are we ever conscious of our breathing? When I had my oxygen spas in airport, I stated in one of our promotions that: Oxygen was a little bit like sex. You do not think about it until do NOT have enough. And this is only sex and oxygen.:) What about love, compassion, truth, reality, honesty, etc…. What are we doing with this wonderful life that has been given to us and which we have accepted to experienced fully? What are we teaching to each other, to our families, our children’s, our grandchildren s? I find myself tonight, last night, and probably for the next while, in a state of stupor of the human violence. We are the world . We create all this. All thoughts and decisions come from us. All actions are initiated by us. I often find myself in position of anger, frustration, impatient, intolerance, etc…It happened to me today with technology challenges. But the bottom line, after I had the chance to “vent” or release my anger, frustration and all, without hurting anyone. I did a tremendous cleaning of my office, I vented to my sweetheart making sure he knew it was not about him, then I could allow for the true feeling behind the anger to come at the surface- FEAR Fear (anger) is usually followed by tears, sadness, regrets, but all-ways conclude n LOVE if you surrender to your true essence. And I could talk to you more about this…. I WANT to BE with all of these emotions in TRUTH, then and only then, can I surrender to the super essence of who I am. Thank you for listening. May we all-ways find each other in the...
Read MoreRevealing our Authentic Selves Giveaway
Why is it that so many people are afraid of revealing their authentic selves? What is authenticity? What does it mean to be authentic? How do you know when you are truly authentic? In my book SOAR with Vulnerability I explain why and also how to remove the veil of superficiality, which is only driven by the ego. With one of my quotes: “You are only invulnerable when you are in fear“, I push the true realization and the surrendering to the limit, with no place to hide. Invulnerability attracts invulnerability. Fear attracts fear. Vulnerability attracts openness, sensitivity and sincerity. I am honoured that my book is an Award Winner for 2013, especially being a self-published author.

Read MoreAre You Over It?
Or are you in the ZONE? I just recently did a talk on how to be in the zone and transform the way you do business. Most of you are familiar with being in the zone in sports. All golfers have experienced it at least once! But what does it mean to be in the zone? It means to be at the place where you reach your peak performance, where any movement is natural and effortless, when you are exactly where you are suppose to be. You are living your purpose. When do you start questioning yourself on the topic of purpose and calling? Mary Buchan, author of the book Over It – How to Live Above Your Circumstances and Beyond Yourself, has an interesting approach to it. She does not call it being in the zone but something more like, how do you reach your authentic self and live the life you are suppose to live. Check out her Book Trailer Each chapter takes you on a new journey of discovery of her self and her life, but it also takes into a deep introspection about your own life and your own challenges. How did you choose to look at them? Did you really address them or did you just push them under the carpet? Do you still carry them or have you let them go? Have you surrendered to the beautiful person that you are? Mary has a very interesting way of sharing her own life experiences. She opens up in Authentic Vulnerability which encourages you to do the same, at the end of each chapter. At the end of each chapter she will take you in a space of deepness where you want to take the time to be: honest, reflective and of course authentic. She puts humor when humor is needed. See some of her chapter titles: Be a Thermostat, Not a Thermometer, Does Anger Rule You or Fuel you?, Brain Washing, etc. I would recommend Mary’s book either you are at a transition in your life or if you just want to keep on track of your life’s calling. Her book can be found at Amazon.com For your information Mary is also on an exciting Book Blog Hop this summer and will have her Virtual Book Launch on September 13, 2014. If you are a blogger, a book reviewer or simply interested in her topic of Getting Over It, please contact Mary directly and let her know. The name of my own book is SOAR with Vulnerability, so now you can understand why Mary and I have connected so strongly!...
Read MoreBlogs-Bloggers-Blogging
Wow! I just came back from a two days Conference on Blogging called BlogU 2014 and of course, I realized I am NOT a real Blogger. Yes, I have a Blog (you are looking at it and maybe reading it) and yes, I like or may I say I LOVE to share my discoveries and all the good stuff I find out there. My big downfall is that I am not consistent. I do not write every day or every week or even every month. I write when I feel I have something important to say, something that will perhaps make a difference in your day and perhaps inspire you to step up to your own writing calling or more. You see you do not need to be a professional writer to be a successful popular blogger. You just need to be funny (or NOT), real (definitely) and be prepared to share a lot of your everyday life moments. People from around the world are looking for people to connect with. You can Blog about cooking recipes, parenting issues with solutions or not, dating and it’s challenges, your cat, your dog or your farm. You can Blog about anything you want and love and will without any doubts find someone out there to truly connect with you. After all, we are all one. So why would’t...
