MAYbe Si, MAYbe No.

 From Conexion to you, Babushka's article for the month of May.  

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

It’s May. As BB said in the pic, es Mayo, que Rayo!! In other words, where is this year going and how’d we get here so quickly? Oh, and Mother’s Day. Believe it or not, those thoughts are definitely connectable. Let Babushka illustrate.

May, almost mid-year. Let that sink in. No se about you Beautifuls, pero BB still has some Crisma decoraciones out. Honestamente, the putting together of tax info had Babushka reliving last year, and those decorations son cutisimos y always bring happy smiles, so porque no? That’s the reason and BB’s sticking to them.  😜 

Procrastination you say? Tal vez, pero daily dance is getting faster and faster and getting harder and harder to control. Kinda reminds one of parenthood. Vieron how Babushka is sliding into Mother’s Day?  😉

Just like our daily vida, the passing of days, is the passing of parenthood. Quick, with memorable moments and moments one would rather forget. (Puberty- ::Shudder::) And then the end of our dailies with los hijos. Ok si, if you’re lucky you get a daily text- ya llamadas are sooo yesterday, pero on the whole, most of us have fotos and memorias of that time.

Do you have your refrigerator full of yesterdays? Sweet and Bittersweet verdad? Went by quickly verdad? Hopefully this makes you take a quick break and a quick look back.

Has the year been corre corre or have you had a chance, made a chance to enjoy? May is el momento perfecto. Make the time to do that and to enjoy your Madre- in memoria if you aren’t blessed to still have her with you.

Babushka feels Bendecida to have so many good memorias- one of them is having you Beautifuls dancing with her. Anda, recuerdos bonitos, y realization of those now and to come.

Cuidensen.

God's Wicked Sense of Humor and Life Lessons with a Smile. @Courage_Cancer - Courage4Cristyl

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Mira que somos cabeziduros; humans are hard headed. And God has a wicked sense of humor. We go around doing what we want, focusing on our wants without realizing what we truly need or worse yet, what we already have. We may get reminders to look, episodes of life that make us stop for a moment, but those are fleeting and quickly pass. A child’s birth, reunions with an old friend, life moments that spark the love of life in us. Unfortunately we tend to focus on the mundane and insignificant, because as BB said before, we are hard headed. Fortunately we are given many nudges along the way to focus on what’s truly worthy; sometimes those nudges become slams.

White cell count ok. On to #chemo Round 2. #GSOG #GigaSecondOfGratitude #GospelOfGracias

My eldest, Cristyl’s Corazon has  stage 2 breast cancer. At 33 years of age she is facing her mortality. Now before you start feeling sorry for her, let Babushka show you the blessing of this.

Nothing makes you reevaluate your life attitude and actions quicker than the threat of losing it. For years she has refused to seek medical help for depression, for years she has been in a relationship that constricted, not daring to follow her true fullfillment of self. No more. Gracias to that golf ball size lump, she is happier than she’s been for years. She’s tending to her physical, spiritual and emotional self. With therapy and medicines she’s mentally in a much better place. With renewed and real faith she is content and feeling purpose, ready to conquer all. She’s following life loves and goals. Que te dije? Wicked sense of humor.

At this stage of life BB has become a fulltime madre again. Blessed Be. The first time around BB didn’t spend much time focusing on my first born because she was perfecta. Good grades, bella ballerina, popular, Babushka mistakenly thought she didn’t need a mama’s hovering and constant attention. The first time around she left home as soon as legally possible. This is our chance to makeup for missed moments. Not quite the same, but on many levels so much better. 

Life now is for living and following ones heart. Being older has helped her realize what is truly in her heart and who should be there. She has found a stronger love of family and her family in God. Her vision is to start a dance ministry, to combine two of her major loves. This is her first performance where she shared that dream.

Gracias to many she continues finding more ways to give and to live. One of these inspirations is from a book her therapist suggested , Living with Cancer by Barbara K. Linton. Gran casualidad that Barbara lives in Tallahassee? Again, Wicked Sense of Humor. Thanks to this book Cristyl found answers and strength. On the back cover, “Linton’s story promises that if you let Him, God will stay right beside you, loving you and willing to give you strength to walk triumphantly through whatever life may bring your way. It won’t be an easy journey, but if you let Him, God will prove that even with cancer...you can live!” Not only is BB’s Baby living, but she’s living for others too.,

BB's daughter @CristylsCorazon has found more than @Courage_Cancer , she has found her truth, her faith, and her fight to continue living. Please help her raise $100 to give others courage too. 1000x Gracias. #pinkwarrior https://t.co/G9JKo54cnS pic.twitter.com/ZGEPVj89vB

For our children we are capaz to do anything. Even physical labor, in the sun. Babushka has signed up to walk on Cristyl's team and hopes y'all can join us. We'd love to have you there or/and donate for this wonderful cause.  The link for her walk page is http://bit.ly/BBCourage4Cristyl.  We would love to raise at least $100 to help buy supplies for the many projects Cancer Through Courage has.

So, are we feliz that we've had to come to this point to realize what's lifes point?  Por supuesto que no, wouldn't wish it on anyone. PERO knowing what's really valuable, THAT we wish for TODOS.

Y remember daily with a knowing sonrisa the motto, now mantra, 

 

Life- JU SO FONII!!

#TheWildLife Robinson Crusoe Comes Ashore

Gracias to @AlliedHIspanic BB & Cristyl’s Crew were able to see #TheWildLife. Opinions and smiles are all ours.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Have you ever wondered what life on a deserted island would be like? Bueno, after seeing The Wild Life this week, BB and Cristyl’s Crew started wondering that very pregunta.  Quee?? You haven’t heard about the pelicula yet?  Bueno, here’s the tale and the trailer.

SYNOPSIS

From the over-exuberant parrot Mak to the snack-obsessed tapir Rosie, from the persnickety echidna Epi to the acrobatic pangolin Pango, from the ditzy goat Scrubby to the commonsensical kingfisher Kiki and the always-cool chameleon Carmello, things are larger-than-life on a tropical isle that is pure wild animal paradise.  Then Robinson Crusoe, a marooned human, arrives in the midst of a furious storm, and their lives are forever changed by this bewildering new “creature.”  No matter their differences, castaway human and quirky animals embark on an hilarious new adventure, building the island’s first tree-house and surviving together.  But when two conniving members of the animal kingdom — the savage cats Mal & May – pounce into a battle for control of the island, Crusoe and his animal posse must uncover the true power of friendship against all odds (even savage cats).   

The crew got binoculars, t shirts, coloring kits, and saw the movie. If you have kids you know about "the wild life", especially when you try to get them to all do something, at the same time, with the same enthusiasm... JU SO FONII!!!

We were asked to list the 5 "must haves" if on a deserted island.

What would your 5 must haves Beautifuls? For BB, you're looking at it.
