Another trip around the Sun

Vulnerability, humbleness, love, acceptance, forgiveness, are some of the words that come to mind when thinking about this year that has passed.

As I celebrate another trip around the sun, I wanted to take some time to analyze and share with you lessons that I’ve learned, lessons that I was reminded off, and blessings that I’ve had throughout this year.

I couldn’t be happier for the year that has passed as I:

1. Fell and stood up again a couple of times; each time making me stronger and, why not… a little bit wiser
2. Loved and let myself be loved
3. Put my heart and soul into new projects and ideas: LAFStyle
4. Opened myself up to the magic of networking and embraced my true personality
5. Accepted situations that were out of my control and embraced the fact that this is part of the process and of this wonderful journey called life.
6. Learned to listen more attentively. Thank you Suz and ViveSmart team
7. Confirmed once again that there is nothing more amazing than the power of believing in God, in the Universe, in a higher source.
8. Honored my true passion and went full force towards it
9. Broke barriers of limiting beliefs that I had put up for many years
10. Met the most amazing people that have become part of my family and have joined my crazy, beautiful journey. (You all know who you are and how special and important you are to me no matter the distance)
11. Laughed ten times more than what I cried (except if we count when watching chick flicks or a cute commercial with puppies or babies)
12. Watched several sunrises and plenty of sunsets
13. Connected with nature and appreciated the incredible gifts that it has to offer us
14. Experienced the magic of soul searching and vulnerability
15. Took risks without fear and trusted myself. Hey! I even embarked in a Vegan Cleanse, who would have thought!
16. Learned to believe more than ever in the power of daily affirmations
17. I even WROTE MY FIRST BOOK! (Yes! I’ll keep you posted on this one…)
18. Laughed until my belly hurt and smiled to as many people as I could
19. Loved, accepted, and forgave myself and others in my life, releasing pain and barriers that weren’t allowing me to live a healthier and happier life.
20. I trusted and experienced the power of manifestation in MANY occasions
21. But, most importantly, I learned not to be afraid of being MYSELF and I admit it… I love it!

From special dinners that started almost a week ago, to photoshoots, a special yoga class, get-togethers with special people, to a concert with the great Pancho Céspedes, to special messages, videos, calls, emails and even to a star gazing party… I couldn’t have asked for more!

They say that a birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun. So why not enjoy every second of it. May I be present, may I love, learn, and laugh without limits. May I never doubt my intuition and most importantly may I continue practicing gratefulness for everyone and everything in my life.

Thank you all for being part of this journey; for teaching me to love and be loved; for helping me to open my eyes to new experiences; for allowing me to be myself without restrictions; for inspiring me and for allowing me to inspire you. THANK you for walking beside me and for allowing me to be part of your lives.

Happy Birthday to me! 😀
