Agotada in August.

 From BB's August column in Conexion. https://conexionflorida.com/agotada-en-august/

Hola ,Hola, Hola Beautifuls! 

Has this been a summer o que??!?!???  Oye, between the calores, record breaking heat waves, the torrential rains, and a year that flew by, is flying by in a BLEEP.  Wow and Woah.

Of course heat isn’t just physical. And it’s been a heck of a year for that too. 

Pero Remember and Believe Beautifuls, we will survive this. 

Difficult  times seem like darkness

In difficult times, it is like walking on thorns.

In difficult times, it is like walking on splinters.

In difficult times, it is like walking in the heat.

How can one see the light without experiencing a little discomfort

arising from the heat of the light?

The light is an energy.

The light has heat.

When you pray, but you still feel it’s hard…

When you pray, but you still feel it’s tough…

It is the heat.

Is is the heat that you are feeling.

Let me assure you, every prayer of yours is deeply received.

Let me assure you, every prayer of yours is heard.

The Universe wants you as much as you want it.

So, whenever you feel difficult, even after a prayer…

Remind yourself, that it is the heat that is warming you.

It is the heat that is getting you ready to enter the light of higher awakening.

It is the heat from the light that awaits to awaken you.

No heat, no inner strength.

No heat, no positive change.

No heat, no light in life.

Heat from the Light by Dharan M.

Si Beautifuls, Be Gentle with Yourselves. And know that You Are Loved.

Mother May I? A Mother's Day/Everyday Post

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

It’s May already. This month we in the US celebrate Mother’s Day. A day one typically thinks of Mom, nuestra madre.  As well we should. First, she gave us life. Segundo, she gave us amor.  Thirdly, she gave us the best she knew, the best she had, both materially and spiritually. So si, most definitely Mother’s should be celebrated and thanked. And emulated. To Ourselves.

Beautifuls, let’s realize this. Aunque we will always be our Mama’s bebe, we are, for the most part, adultos. Tiempo to do for ourselves.  This month, let’s surround ourselves with Mothering, Mother Love, Self Love. It truly isn’t hard. Here, let BB give you some ejemplos.

1)  We’ve all seen babies who just smile with all their beings when seing their mom. Let’s start doing that when we first look into the mirror each dia. Amor, Happy to be Alive. 

2) Musica. What brings joy to your soul when you hear it? PLAY IT. 

If it leads to dance, Dance. If it leads to song, Sing. LET IT FILL YOU.

3) Joy of just Being.  Be in the sun, feel it’s warmth and know the Universe is hugging you.

Sit in Silence and know YOU are watched and being loved. 

JUST AS YOU ARE. ALWAYS being wished the Best for you. 

Beautifuls, this is the TRUENESS, TRUTH of Mother Love. And this Babushka wishes for ALL this Dia de Las Madres.

Cuidensen.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Ya estamos en Junio, half a year already. BB running on Cubantime on her posts, but this is a cause and occasion too dear to let go by sin a mention and a hug.  Este mes is Pride Month, and if you think Babushka is pasandolo without a post, JU SO FONII!!! Este post is dedicated to all the LGBT amigos del pasado, presente y futuro and a todos who love them.

The Tallahassee PrideFest took place in April, bold y bello, just like the Beautifuls who organized and participated in it.  Naturalmente BB was too busy enjoying the festival to take many fotos, pero aqui are some of the highlights. 

Feliz that the importance of self care, health in all aspects, was stressed. Kudos to local organizations and government for having booths, especially in a community with so many young adults. Only thing missing was the info in Spanish. Hopefully BB's suggestion on this will be implemented.

Pero of course, el "FanMan" has to be highlighted.

Y aunque  Babushka doesn't push her political views or beliefs, esto is a definite Eso!!

Equality Florida

To continue in this vein, let BB add the religious/spiritual tambien.  Having attended services where homosexuality was criticized, it brought relief and tears to the ojos to see churches believe and broadcast universal love.

Integrity Tallahassee   St.Stephen Lutheran

Also sharing Amor,

 United Church of Tallahassee & Thrive Metropolitan Community Church

Because al final Beautifuls, isn't that what it's all about? 

Porque al final, that's all we have.

And Love, is Love, is Love, is Love.

Gigasecond of Gratitude- Day 7 of the SMCSF 30 day blog challenge

If you've been following Babushka for any length of time you'll realize two things about my posts. I try to keep them positive and Sunday's are for one Tweety/Feibu post only- to give thanks.  For the SMCSF Blog Challenge I will also post on my blog, but still, to give thanks.  And I have so much to give thanks for, we all do.  All it takes is a Gigasecond of Gratitude.  Queee??  JU SO FONII!!!  Of course you can take longer f you'd like, but if it's truly heartfelt, a GSG is enough.

Babushka Besos a todos.  Cuidensen.
