HeartCamp 2013

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls! Babushka's year of firsts,favorites and fun continues.  I was a panelist at  HeartCamp, an "unconference".  Have you ever been energized, exhilarated and exhausted at the same time?  How about overwhelmed and overjoyed simultaneously?  Re-energized yet relaxed?  Ok si, BB's doing her extreming again, but if you had attended this years HeartCamp you would have felt the same.





"What Is HeartCamp? 
HeartCamp brings together speakers and participants from different walks of life to discuss all matters of the heart — 
the physical, emotional, spiritual and creative heart."


That's the official definition of HeartCamp, but Babushka and other attendees knows it was so much more.



Sold out capacity!!
Right there it should give you an idea how good it is.



Relax and Recharge- Hotel Urbano poolside
perfect setting for camptalks w/lead meditations



Gabriel Axel - Heart Healthy Breathing 
combined Yoga w/Neuroscience- fascinating

Dawn Masler-  Workshop More Amore Meditation


Of course all this brought to mind how sensitive yet strong our hearts are, and the panel BB partook of emphasized just that.

 Heartbreak to Breakthrough 


Karla Campos, Dawn Masler, Jackie Jimenez, Crazy Cubana, Gladys Diaz 

"We had a great time speaking, coaching, serving, & sharing our hearts at HeartCamp! " Gladys Diaz

Moderated by My Capitan, Maria de los Angeles, who was also the organizer of HeartCamp, the panel truly did share our hearts, and in turn so did the participants.  And this My Beautifuls is what sets HeartCamp apart from any other conference. It really is an opening of minds and hearts, a sharing and learning between everyone attending.  The heart in all its' facets was highlighted, studied and enjoyed- with some activies fusing it all together.

ESO!!!

I think HeartCamp met the 2013 requirements of firsts, favorites and fun don't you?
 So does that mean I won't be attending in 2014?


JU SO FONII!!!

The First 15 Days of 2013

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!! How is 2013 treating you so far? For Babushka this year is promising to be a year of firsts, favorites, and fun.  Quee??  JU SO FONII!!! Ok si, 2012 also had those things, but this year BB expects it!  To start off, I did something that was all three.  Gracias to my makeup/fashionista blogger friends I tried something I would have never done in 2012-



TWINKLY TOES!!!

Nothing like the pampering and decadence of a pedicure. BB felt rich, like a Princess/ChristmasOrnament/NewYearFireworks all at once. Funny how a little thing like that can make one feel giddy and confident at the same time- which was perfect for my first "professional/business" party of the year.


Sweetie and I were invited to the Three King's Day celebration given by MCG Latino, the Hispanic division of the award winning PR firm Moore Communications Group. The fantastic Ferns, Fernando Rodriguez and Fernando Senra along with the entertaining Emilio Estevez made us feel very welcomed. They did a really nice gathering with explanations of what that day traditionally means to Latins and how we celebrate it. The props, the food, the drinks, all very true to a homestyle party.  As a matter of fact, it was such a homey feeling that Sweetie waited until the end to leave. What can I say?  He was liking this- A lo bueno se acostumbra facil.

The next day my beloved TWAM  was helping Mission San Luis celebrate "The First Christmas en La Florida", the first VivaFlorida500  official event commemorating Florida's 500 years of Spanish colonization. Of course this deserves a post by itself, but here's a glimpse via their Feibu page. It was an unforgettable day with re enactors, visitors, and even the Archbishop of Florida giving a mass. I promise to share more about this glorious event.




The following week BB was on a roll- everyday that semana had something good coming to my door.  




Of course that spurred me into reading more blogs and entering more contests, but there's no bigger contest/giveaway than the loteria!  
And BB of course was right there when they celebrated that too.





Oh si, Oh yeah- BB's all about the fiestas and the winning.  Not a bad mantra verdad?
Pero y'all know Babushka's also about the giving.

I love volunteering and supporting those causes and people I care about, so of course when Mission San Luis had its Volunteer Thank You Celebration I knew Ben Gunter, the director of TWAM was sure to receive an award.  Sweetie and I took rum cake and enjoyed the dinner and company immensely.  Ben deservedly got his honors, but he wasn't el unico who received an award that night. 


Oh my and Oh yeah.

I truly didn't expect this honor, and believe me when I say it isn't often that BB gets surprised.



Another first, favorite and fun thing I'm participating in 




What a joy and challenge to come up w/something a little "out of the caja" for the daily prompts. 
 I'll be making an album on Feibu for the total 31, but for now: 

Day 9    Nail Art

Day 13 Literature- Curious George

heje  cute right?  What's not so cute was the reason for Babushka's Breakesito.  


Lastly and definitely Least... 


CLEANING!!!


As of this writing the kitchen- still w/backed up sink, looks like this


It's gettin' there, it's gettin' there! And so are my 2013 aspirations.

Also in the first 15 days I was accepted as a panelist for HeartCamp.  My vision to be a public speaker/motivational/just a fonii vieja viajera is becoming a reality.  I will be appearing with La Gallina Vieja AT THE SAME TIME.  No te dije?  2013- year of firsts, favorites, and fun. 


I hope you'll join me in my dance.  BB's always loved a full dance card.

Babushka Besos a todos.   Cuidensen.
