YES WE CAN !!!
Mega Props to my Colombian Peeps: Shakira, Juanes and Fonseca. U2 is my ABSOLUTE Favorite! I also like music from Crowded House, Juan Luis Guerra, Sheryl Crow, Carlos Vives, K.T. Tunstall, Bacilos, Gwen Stefani, Lauryn Hill, Cabas, Sting, Dixie Chicks, Nelly Furtado, Eva Cassidy, Sean Paul, Sade, Paulina Rubio, Mecano, Mana, Kanye, Corinne Bailey Rae, Moguel Bose, Green Day, Lily Allen, Linkin Park ... the list goes on and on. I am Latina - Music moves my Spirit. Anything with a good beat and non hateful lyrics. We only get so much energy in Life - why WASTE it?
LOVE GOING TO THE MOVIES - and watching all sorts of movies. I like quoting them; laughing about them; and sometimes even learning something.
I like TV - I watch a lot more now than I think I ever have in my life! I like to watch The Office, Project Runway and my latest favorite - Don't Forget the Lyrics. Grey's Anatomy got too sappy. The Class got cancelled - what were they thinking?!? Lately, I just watch a LOT of CNN and MSNBC as I am a HUGE politics junkie and there is SO MUCH riding on this election.
I do see something that is rather disturbing. I see it more and more in the types of news that gets reported. The 'average American' cares more about Britney and Kevin; more about Lindsey, even Anna Nicole (RIP) than they do about their own homes and their own families. We crave scandal more than sense; fantasy more than reality. I have to wonder if we really need to celebrate the implosion of Britney. Right in my immediate family, there is a severely mentally disturbed person in denial and I can tell you first hand that this is not tabloid fodder - it is a sad process to watch someone you love deny themselves and their children a strong life path.
We are at a pivotal time in history and we need to make the difference TODAY. We really need to look inside of ourselves and inside the workings of our country and make it work. What is the first step? Are you registered to vote? Have you written to your elected officials about causes that matter? Here is your first step:
LOVE TO READ!!! Even just having books in a room makes it feel like home to me.
My MOM is the BEST EVER. Everyone who comes into contact with her just loves her and her beautiful Spirit. My Mother is always open to everyone and has a HUGE Heart filled with LOVE. She is my HERO. Mi mamá me mima,
y yo mimo a mi mamá. To quote Barack Obama on his own Mother; “I know that she was the kindest, most generous spirit I have ever known, and that what is best in me I owe to her.â€
My Abuelitos are so beautiful ... I miss my Abuelito Luis TOO MUCH! I wonder what he would say about our family today?
I admire those who break barriers and walk TALL and PROUD. I admire STRONG WOMEN; INSPIRING PEOPLE; those who work for a BETTER WORLD.
