The Light.

The Light.

     This morning, there was a big storm, and we ended up with a blackout around 5:30 am. I say we, because my kids were here, only sleeping, for them there will be no difference between a blackout and "it's 5am Mom, why are you even awake?"
     Anyway, I always start my mornings at 5 am, that's my hour with God, the hour that chose to have an intimacy with him, in silence, in meditation of his word. Well, I thought, it will be challenging, non the less, my phone is fully charged and there's always the integrated flashlight, that I put to work and began my morning routine.
     As I was moving on with my stormy meditation, my mind started to wonder around again, with the eternal question: "where does my last name comes from?", it has intrigued me all my life.
     You see, this is my Father's last name, I kept it, even after I got married, it was easier for paperwork and all that, when I moved to the United States to keep my last name. This last name that was given to me from past generations maybe, not even he knew if his last name was made up, or given by his adopted family, their cousins, my father died not knowing who his father was, and now, I'm divorced, how clever of me to have kept this beautiful last name after all.
     Only, I feel very undeserving of this last name of mine, which is: "De La Luz", means: "Of the light". See, how magnificent this last name is!, maybe is only me, but I think that I should honor it, by being the light, leading the way, always shinning with great positive attitude, bringing bright writing ideas, changing the color of my children's moody days, something!
     Somehow this "Of the light" last name resonates with my soul, I don't think this is a coincidence that this last name is attached to my first name, I don't believe in coincidences. I'm committed to live a life with the light that it was giving to me since the day that I was born. I am a "DE LA LUZ"

Birds

      I think that birds communicate with me. I now believe this, it's been something that I fantasize with maybe since I was a little girl watching Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty talking and singing together with the birds, a happy moment every time! Is like I have been asking for different things in my life to happen, and then the birds start singing or manifesting every where, in movies, when I open my phone looking for something in particular and the first thing that appears is a bird, or late at night when suddenly I wake up in the middle of the night to go potty, and there, I can hear a bird singing, and I think: "I wish I can talk bird" An now, every morning when I take my dog out, the first thing I hear before even recognizing the omnipresence of God almighty, is the birds greeting me, is like they saw me coming out and they start to sing Good morning!, how are you this morning?...what song do you want us to sing for you in this magical day?....I know, it's sou...

Love Each other.

Love each other.      Love each other is a phrase we hear all the time, Love each other as I loved you, John 15:12. Do we? Do we really love each other like Jesus loves us? And as you can see all over the news these days, the answer is: NO. As a matter of fact, we hate each other every single day, we have something that we don't like about each other, every single day; we don't like what the other person says about us, or says about someone else, and that's it, we burst away with our anger, we start a self inflicted emotional revolution that separates us from the single most meaningful daily purpose of loving each other like Jesus does.      This racism, is irrational, we give free rein to our most vicious thoughts, and thoughts travel so fast to our core, making its way all the way to our hearts, creating an emotion that didn't even exist there in there first place, we didn't even try to stop it to breath for five seconds, step away and let go of the forei...
