The SECRET

One of the many books on my list is 'The Secret' by Rhonda Byrne... I could explain it to you, but its a secret, so if you dont read or watch the video... then you'll never know the secret!!

Random Email...

So I have people I send random emails to... these emails could be thoughts of the moment or the day.. whatever. My thoughts are very random so the subject is always Random Thoughts.

Here is one from my darling...

Good Morning,

How many ways do you inspire me to be a overachiever, MANY!!!. Since we've started dating, I've been inspired to rekindle the little things that once made me happy. The list is too long but just know you do! I finally read your blog and its very interesting, just wish if people could follow and see how creative you really are. I hope you take the learning experience of living in another country as a building block to what life has to offer. Please note: I got your back 100 % with whatever en devour you choose to purse.

I love you and hope to get you back in one piece, sooner than later..

CD.


My response:

Aww darling...

You can accomplish anything so you choose, just think positive and believe its possible. Dont go back, find NEW things that make you happy. Always be forward thinking, dream... make your own lane.

I dont aspire to be an overachiever, neither should you. I aspire to EXPERIENCE many things. Life is only as exciting as the stories you have to tell about it!! So yea my list is long, but hopefully my time is also!

You have everything beautiful in your life, awesome friends, gorgeous kids, and ...me, umm from a-far!!

Ask your self today, what do you want? to achieve, to experience, to know... and it shall be yours!! I dont care to have all the money in the world, I only care to have what makes me the happiest (but I need to have a lot more than a little money!! LOL, I need my villa!!)

Besos (kisses)

Chris

I love inspired people... but more so people that GO FOR IT!! So ask yourself... SELF: What is it that you want? ...and then go get it!! B.FREE!!

Hola From Buenos Aires!!

Well I got to the airport and there were men swarming around me... "Necesita taxi?" "NO", I kept snapping; C'mon it was a 13 hr flight and I didnt need a damn taxi. I was waiting for a ride from my Road2Argentina program...

Apparently I didn't read my pre-departure directions well enough, because I was supposed to go to the Taxi stand and give them my name. WHATEVER... after all that was squared away and I got in my taxi the drive thru the city was phenomenal. Apparently the lines in the road are for show, because no one stayed in their lane. Driving here isnt as bad as the driving in Costa Rica, but it is definitely a close second!!

The taxi ride gave me a glimpse of a city I only dreamed about. I passed every major metropolitan area in the States... Miami, LA, Chicago, and mostly New York. The 'inglesias" (churches) resembled that of Rome or Madrid... the architecture of the city is so grand I thought I was in Europe for a moment!

I couldnt take all the pictures I wanted to because my camera was in the trunk of the taxi. The taxi driver tried to make conversation, because he knew I didnt understand him.

Taxi driver: De donde esta?
Me: Soy de Estados Unidos
Taxi Driver: Ahh, si? De donde?
Me: Chicago
Taxi Driver: Uhhh ....Chicago....
ME: Michael Jordan
Taxi Driver: AHHHH Si, si. Michael Jordan!!!

...Thank God for a universal language!! LOL

I have a new favorite GLAMAZON - DJ Rashida

DJ Rashida is on America's Best Dance Crew apparently! I didnt know that. But I came across her because of an outfit that she had on. I like her style... (even though all of us can't have the Brazilian Curly #30) Its good tho. She is cute, I love that she is a DJ... and she sells SEXY very well!!

She kinda looks like Paula Patton (Robin Thicke's wife) rite here. But she has her own style. That is what is important. Making it dew what it dew for YOU!!

And I LOVE this outfit!

Looking for If I Had My Way by Yashi?

Yashi is an incredible artist with a powerful voice. She has been in the studio with so many big name producers, Brian Cox, Jim Johnson... im not going to start name dropping, but they all agree Yashi is going to do incredible things in music.

This is your invitation to listen and download her first single so dont sleep on her...

The coolest sofa chair ever!!

It was about time a designer found a way to eliminate the hard “chair” part of the chair, and Spanish designer Marti Guixé developed the Xarxa Sofa for the Italian brand Danese with just that intention.

Configured around a hidden wooden seat and buttressed by slim metal arcs, the Xarxa Sofa consists most prominently of five gigantic pillows which can be rearranged and restructured as necessary to accommodate how you feel like relaxing. In fact, you can just as easily adjust it as take it apart to use the pillows elsewhere. Overall, it’s a cool chair that pretty much cuts to the chase and gives us exactly what we want: all pillows, all the time. – via

FOLLOW ME to Argentina! ~Paz y bendición (Peace and Blessings)

Life long DREAM...

Well soon I will be embarking on a journey to the end of the Earth...Im talking about Argentina! Buenos Aires to be exact! I have always wanted to live in another country for months at a time. i am still looking for a way to do that, and with a semester left to graduate, my time is dwindling down!

I expect this trip to the unknown (for me!) to be... well, an Adventure. Im sure there are things that are going to work my last nerve. Like when I was in Costa Rica and i got the flu (this was before this swine flu outbreak) So it was simply - The Flu! Mi mama at the homestay I was with didnt speak a lick of english, and I was still learning vocabualry words. Saying little phrases "Estoy tarde"... very basic to be in another country! I needed medicine and felt like BLAH, it was terrible. But i loved everything else about Costa Rica. (minus the earthquake!)

But Costa Rica was 2 weeks and this is going to be 4 months... I want to visit Uraguay and Rio de Janeiro while im down there, but who knows. Im on a budget already!!....Wish me blessings!
