Talking about Love

2013-04-22T21:45:00.001-04:00

It has been a long time since I have written a post. More than a year I think. I have stayed away from the blog since my marriage didn't work. There is so much that I was feeling and I felt that I wasn't in the liberty to share it. I mean, too many people know who I am. I cannot talk about what happened, don't want to air my dirty laundry in the internet. There are some things that are better

Can you choose who you fall in Love with?

2012-07-06T01:20:00.000-04:00

Today I was pondering on what Love is. In the book The Power from Rhonda Byrne, Love is the positive force of Life. "Everything you want to be, do or have comes from love" The book speaks of Love as energy, it is what makes us like anything. Every creation is dependent on love, because it is the passion, and love of the inventor that allows him to create. It is everything we want in

Career Vs Calling

2012-06-24T23:04:00.001-04:00

As I continue this journey I must say that some days can be better than others. Yesterday I must say was not one of the best, and the day before was pretty bad too. However today was so much better! I love Sunday's because I start my day peacefully, I wake up and take some time to stay in bed just meditating, or talking to God, or just relaxing. Then I get up and get ready to go to Church.

New Beginnings

2012-06-13T00:17:00.000-04:00

I have been away for over a month, and before that I was scarce as well. Some changes have been going on in my life that I was not ready to talk about them. But recently I have been feeling the need to get them out. Tell them to the world so I can focus on finding the path that I'm supposed to take. I have been trying to restructure this Blog, and I think that life has made it so that I

Ima would give anything to escape The Dome and learn what’s beyond its barriers, but the Chicago government has kept all its citizens on lockdown ever since the Scorched Years left most of the world a desert wasteland. When a mysterious group of hooded figures enters the city unexpectedly, Ima uncovers a plot to destroy The Dome and is given the choice between escaping to a new,

What is Instant Influence?

2012-04-16T23:33:00.000-04:00

For my birthday my favorite cousin Karla gave me this awesome book as a gift. She said she just saw it, and thought it looked like the kind of book I like to read. At first I was surprised, since I never would have thought to buy it just by looking at it, but once I started reading it I am impressed with the book and I absolutely love it. I am not done with the book yet, however what I like is

Japan Society J-Cation

2012-04-15T22:56:00.000-04:00

On Saturday me and the girls went to the 2012 Japan Society J-Cation. I must say it was an amazing event! The place was breathtaking, it had tons of fun activities and great yummy food. We participated on workshops, a Game Show and even sang a little bit of Karaoke. I must say that the Japan Society did an amazing job. And on May 5/6 they will be having an Open House that we are sure to come by

Finding my artistic side once again and making new friends.

2012-04-14T02:21:00.001-04:00

For the past several months I have been getting involved in the artistic side of my job. I have taken on new responsibilities and being in charge of a monthly Art Gallery Opening at one of my boss' buildings. Since I have been doing this I have felt a sense of joy and excitement that I have not felt in many years. I feel like I am really good at something, like I make a difference. And not

How to avoid negative thoughts

2012-04-13T02:24:00.000-04:00

For years I have been studying the Law of Attraction, the one that says that we attract things with our thoughts. If we think positive thoughts, we attract positive things, and if we have negative thoughts, we attract negative things. Today a person that is very important to me called me with a concern. She told me that someone had made a comment to her that got her thinking and then she

Want to know more about Social Media?

2012-04-12T00:29:00.000-04:00

Yesterday I asked the question, What Topics Interest you the most? And our friend Liz Barnett answered with: Social Media. So in her honor I will dedicate today to Social Media. Back in September 2011 I signed up for a Social Media Marketing Boot camp from MediaBistro.com I was looking to learn more on how to promote your business with Social Media for my current job. I must admit that the

Yesterday I called out to you my readers to find out what do you prefer in the structure of this Blog. Up to now I have only received one answer. I know it takes time, especially since I have been away for a month, but I am going to give it a bit more time. Today I am going to ask you, which topics you like the most?

New Structure for Cocoons 2 Butterflies

2012-04-10T00:35:00.002-04:00

When I created Cocoons 2 Butterflies, I did it because I was trying to find myself. I knew I had difficulty being true to myself and I figured that writing would help me get there. But that was not my only reason. I made this page because in my quest to find my passion in life I encountered many other people who like me had lost their spark, and I wanted to be able to help others who where

Happy Easter Everyone!

2012-04-08T22:00:00.000-04:00

I have been absent from this Blog for a whole month and I can't believe it's been so long. I have been putting off writing for this long, I guess I believed this Blog Dare would keep me inspired, but the truth is that I don't feel like writing about none of the topics that I have been given. So I didn't. But I am going to start anew, once again. Writing a Blog becomes part of your life, and if

I never get to __________ anymore.

2012-03-09T09:00:00.000-05:00

There are quite a few things that i don't get to do as often as I'd like here in NYC, that's one of the reasons I don't like living in NY so much. And those things are Bowling, Swimming and Roller Skating. Those are some of my favorite activities. I totally love them! When we move to Florida I will totally love to do these things with the girls more often, it is not only great exercise it is

If I were alone on a train -- I would be heading...

2012-03-08T09:00:00.000-05:00

If I were alone on a train I would be heading HOME. I don't think I would ever want to be heading anywhere alone on a train unless that train is taking me right home where my family is. I don't recall ever being in a train, subway trains yes, but not train, trains. I have not traveled much, but just the premise seems so sad. Not my idea of something I would want to do. Have you ever traveled

My goals this Spring are...

2012-03-04T09:00:00.000-05:00

Many people make the same goal in Spring and that is of Spring Cleaning. But for me it is more than just a common Spring Cleaning, it is about getting rid of most of my stuff so that when I move to Florida I don't take any junk or anything that I don't need. I am going to get rid of all the clutter, and everything that I don't need or love.I am expecting to only take half my clothing, a small

What if you dind't have to worry about...

2012-03-03T09:00:00.001-05:00

What if we didn't have to worry about money? If I didn't have to worry about money I would be buying a large house with a minimum of 5 bedrooms, a terrace, a pool, a game room, a media room, a gym, an office, a recording studio for my husband, a laundry room, a 2 car garage... If I didn't have to worry about money I would have a housekeeper come every week, so my house could stay spotless. I

Who is your inspiration?

2012-03-02T09:00:00.000-05:00

My family is my inspiration. Especially my girls.They inspire me to be a better person, to be more humble. My family inspires me to work hard at being my best because I want to give them the best that I have to offer. Because they mean the world to me. Look at that picture! Aren't they the most gorgeous people on the planet? Well, I'm sure that each of us have in our families the most gorgeous

What is the best aspect of your life?

2012-03-01T09:00:00.001-05:00

What is the best aspect of my life? My girls, no questions asked! There is nothing more valuable in my life than my two beautiful daughters. Another thing that I appreciate in my life is that even if it is now at the age of 36, that I have been able to find myself. One of the mistakes of my youth was that I never took the time to really try and look for myself, love myself the way I do now. I

Ice Skating

2012-02-27T01:37:00.000-05:00

I have been away from the computer for a while. I have been taking care of some things at home that I need to take care of and I haven't had a chance to write. I sincerely apologize. I expect to be back writing soon, but in the meantime, I will try to post pictures I have taken. These pictures I want to share are from my second attempt at Ice Skating, this time I went with my sister-in-law and

Hubby and I

2012-02-19T00:01:00.001-05:00

The Author of this post is Herman Barry My husband and I have a pretty heated debate going on at our house. He really wants us to go to http://www.tvbydirect.com/ and sign up for a lot of additional TV channels so he could watch all his sports on the weekend. I really don't think it's a great idea for a number of reasons. First of all, my husband already works 50 hours a week and I feel like

Ten years ago...

2012-02-15T09:00:00.001-05:00

Me and Gaby Gaby and Daddy! Ten years ago we were just learning to be parents. Our first baby was only one and we were getting the hang of it. We were new to New York City, just had moved here about 2 years before and we were raising our first daughter in a new city with very little family to help us, and we did a pretty good job at it. Ten Years ago, my step-dad and my mother in-law
