Do not procrastinate on your most important project, YOU
Today the post is really short because I plan to practice what I preach. First: thank God (or Source, or Nature, or whatever your faith tells you) for being alive and having another day for doing great things. Second: work your plan or plan your work, and if it is an off day for you, [...]
This is a conversation between a 15 year old boy and a 40 something diva. Boy – “you are looking a little wrinkled. Don’t you think you should cover that up with some make up?” Diva – “Those are the scars of experience. Why would I want to cover those with make up. With age, [...]
what to do, not even me. I was watching Dr Phil yesterday, Tuesday, because the topic was weight, something that interests me. They had advocates on both sides of the issue. I was a little disapointed that most of the “experts” talking about healthy weight were so “in your face” about it. In fact, one [...]
Spring is here. Many people are on spring break this week. The weather is finally getting a little warmer. If you are finding a good time to start something, start now.

It is always inspiring to see someone from a modest home to make it big. I still don’t think that is the only way to inspire me. There is also the ability to be the first at something, no matter how big or small, and remarkable. Aida Alvarez was the first Hispanic to head the [...]
Some artists inspire just by their talent. This is the case of Mahalia Jackson. Many times we hear that if you love what you do, you don’t work a day in your life. Mahalia Jackson perfectly combined her love of God, her talent as a singer into a very wonderful career. This post is really [...]
When I started this research, there were several ladies that I had never heard from before. Call it ignorance or simply living life, I had no idea that this woman had been the first latin woman to preside the University of California. It was a privilege to find her while researching inspiring women. She was [...]
