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.

Babushka Besos a Todos. 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!!

Having Faith. #TheShack March 3 in theaters

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Faith is defined in the Mirriam Webster dictionary as "something that is firmly believed, even in the absence of proof".  Just a couple of months back Babushka was wondering how expenses were going to be covered, when My Little One stated, "Don't worry, we always find a way."  Y saben que Beautifuls? That vote of confidence, that statement said so matter of factly brought BB close to tears.  Raising The Trio as a single mom wasn't easy, yet they remember a childhood of many joys.  Y ahora as adultos we have come together for some mighty moments, and she's right. We always find a way.   

"Based on the New York Times best-selling novel with over 22 million copies in print worldwide, The Shacktakes us on a father’s life-transforming journey that will show him the ultimate truth about love, loss and forgiveness.

MACKENZIE “MACK” ALLEN PHILLIPS (Sam Worthington) enjoys a blissful life with his wife and their three children, until the unthinkable happens and his youngest daughter MISSY is abducted from their vacation campsite. Evidence indicates Missy has been murdered, but her body is never recovered. The tragedy sends Mack spiraling into “the great sadness” that isolates him from family and friends, causing him to question his innermost fundamental beliefs. Teetering on the edge of self-destruction, he receives a mysterious letter, apparently from God, urging him back to the scene of the crime—an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness.

Despite his doubts and fears, Mack journeys to the wintry mountain woods to revisit the most agonizing moments of his life and encounters an enigmatic trio of strangers led by a woman named PAPA (Octavia Spencer), at the shack. Through them, Mack will find important truths that will transform his understanding of Missy’s tragedy and change his life forever.

The film stars Sam Worthington (Avatar, Wrath of the Titans, Clash of the Titans), Academy Award®-winner Octavia Spencer (Best Supporting Actress, 2012 –The Help; The Divergent Series film franchise), Grammy Award® Winner Tim McGraw (The Blind Side), Radha Mitchell (Olympus Has Fallen), Alice Braga (Queen of the South, Elysium), Aviv Alush (The Gordin Cell) and Graham Greene (Longmire). The screenplay by John Fusco is based on the best-selling faith-based book, “The Shack,” by William Paul Young in collaboration with Wayne Jacobsen and Brad Cummings. Stuart Hazeldine (Exam) directs the film, which is produced by the Oscar-nominated Gil Netter (Life of Pi, The Blind Side, Marley & Me) and Brad Cummings."

The Shack will be in teatros on March 3, sharing the message of hope and having faith.  

Because we ALL always find a way.
