GOOD LUCK IN YOUR QUEST FOR THE SALSA CULTURE.....IT WILL BRING THE BEST IN YOU....IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE...YOU WILL BE HAPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Hey What’s up?....... BIENBENIDOS!!! My name is Carmen, although my profile is listing 55 as my age, I am actually 30!!!I love to laugh and be around good company, am kind but not a fool. I love music, almost all kind of music. "I have a passion for Salsa; consider myself UNA GRAN SALSERA y RUMBERA!!!! SALSA IS IN MY BLOOD, MY SOUL…. I JUST LOVEEEEEEEEE SALSA. I NEVER SAY NO TO A RUMBA. For me, the salsa culture, the music, the dance have been a source of stress relieve and helps me refuel and connect with my inner self, this music makes my soul smile.
I have many interest, I support many social issues and cause. I do volunteering work with few organizations.
I am a Libra, so you know that I can appreciate art and the theater. I love elegant and trendy clothes, love to go shopping, love to dance, especially salsa music. I’ve been told that I am a great dancer. My soul is just as important to me, I like to feed it with very strong positive emotions and ideas, and you could say that I’m very spiritual and highly emotional. I can say that I’ve been blessed with "muchas vivencias,” a big family and many friends.
When I reflect in the past, I can honestly say that being a mother and raising my children was the best time of my life. I love my family, and all of my old and new friends. I appreciate every person that God has brought into my life, I believe that such encounters are not coincidental or circumstantial; we all have a purpose in someone’s life. I am thankful for the wisdom that God has given me, and it ‘s of great value to me specially when I use it speaking an encouraging word into the life of someone who is wounded and bleeding and doesn't know where to turn. I naturally gravitate to the creative soul whose passions and sensitivities are in the in the same realm as mine.
I am a firm believer in the "Law of Reciprocity." What we plant and where we plant it will always come back...without fail, I have witnessed many times, God's miraculous and life-transforming power at work in people. I appreciate openness in people. People who are multi culturally conscious and have an authentic identity. I’m always looking for the uniqueness and individuality of others. I believe that survival is merely the first step on the path to your personal independence.
Thanks to my faith and my spirituality I’ve been able to overcome many challenges in my live and grow in sensitivity to the things of God. ...
I believe that without adversity there is no growth, I am a work in progress, doing the best I can. I love having hope! Believing, that the rest of my life, will be the best of my life. I believe that we all have the power to make that happen. I have the confidence and the assurance that I am blessed and highly favored. God, has healed my brokenness, and recreated me to be what he always meant for me to be…….

SOME THINGS THAT I LEARNED......................

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch - holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.....

I learned to live each day as if it was your last, life is not guarateed to us.

I've learned that no matter what happens or how bad it seems today, life goes on, and it will be better tomorrow. ..

I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents, children, siblings, friends and relative you will miss them when they are gone from your life.

I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life!

I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you but, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work, and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands, you need to be able to throw something back. As important as it may seen the art of giving , it feel just as good, receiving.

This is just some of the things I've learned so far, I still have a lot to learn... I hope that God will give me the opportunity to obtain the wisdom that I need for the rest of my life.

I'd like to meet:

Porfirio Rubirosa



I really would love to meet all of you. I love to meet interesting people from all over the world. Music is a passions of mine...among other things ~
I love this quote "Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance."

Interesting people, of past and present generations.... Some of these people made a positive impact or left a great legacy, as for others, I think the world would have been better off withou them.
