a treasured treat to the eye
an added beat to the heart
a world yet to be explored

this is me
spilling secrets
from my lips.

It truly is about the little pleasures in life that can make me happy...perfection is impossible to achieve but dont confuse it with Excellence . Nor is it good to confuse perfection with greatness, to be great anyways is...the higher achievement. So let me introduce myself, Im Arcelia and I'm out doing big things...for one going to school to make my dreams happen.I dont know exactly what my career will be. The one thing that I have learned is that the future is unknown and trying to plan everything according to a plan, only sets oneself to a feeling of hopelessness and failure. Life is about experience, creating memories and learningthis leads to an understanding and Believing of who you are Of course there is no formula for success except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.For me its not about the money or the prestige in the work that I will engage in. Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love. Ever since I was little, I was interested in the various groups of people that faced oppressionwithin communities. Yet my passion lies on making a difference relating to migrant farmworkers and immigration issues among Mexicans. I feel that ultimately my path in life will take me towards this goal. If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all.

I want to meet my own Prince Charming, doesnt have to be perfect...just perfect...for me.
In a state of
UTTER BLISS
What makes me reach this state of bliss?? By no means will this list begin to compile all the things that make me reach this state. Im a complex humanbut if you do take the time to get to know me, your in for a surprisethings arent always what they seemthere is more to me than meets the eye. I shall be courteous to all but if you really care to find out, then will start to connect, ill be intimate with few and from those they will be well tried before I give them my confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation. The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed {forever}-Carl Jung_
I am nobody. And my story is the same as a million others. Poor Mexican American. Female Child. We all look alike: dirty feet, brown skin, downcast eyes.You have seen us if you have driven through south Texas on the way to Mexico. We are there-walking barefoot by the side of the road. During harvest time there are fewer of us-we are with our families in the fields.Some of us grow and move to cities. We work downtown and speak perfect English. Others of us stay. I dont know which one is better.Sometimes we move to places where people dont know that underneath the wool crepe suit is a brown, barefoot little girl like me. Behind the university-speak is a whole magic world in Spanish. We play the game well and it looks as if we are happy. Sure, were happy.But then, when we are flipping through the radio stations on the way to the office, we get to the Mexican station, and theyre playing our favorite corrido. It makes us long for mamacita, for tortillas, for the comadres and the tias, for dancing rancheras in the hot, sweaty night under the stars at the fiesta.Then the nine-to-five life seems dry as a stone and without a soul.How did I get here? we ask Ill tell you.

Phenomenal Woman-Maya Angelou-Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say, It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
