Noviembre- A Month for Gratitude and Hope. Conexion November 2022

 Written for the November edition of Conexion, 

BB shares her love of fall, the beauty and strength of the season.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Noviembre, it’s officially Fall. Wow and Woah. No se about y’all, pero once the year got its momentum going, there was no stopping it. How about you Beautifuls? Did you get your momentum going? Did you hit your stride, or just went along on the ride?  Creo que we all did a little of both, verdad? We were “in the flow” and at times just “going slow”, pero al final, we’re here, getting ready for another rapidly approaching New Year.

In another month the locura of Crisma, then before you know it we’re singing Auld Lang Syne. Let’s take a moment to reflect, remember and rejoice this year. Give thanks for all that has happened, for it has brought moments of happiness or hardiness, either way, we’re still here. Surely that means we have a reason to be, and for that, feel grateful and blessed.

“Love the trees until their leaves fall off, then encourage them to try again next year.”

~Chad Sugg

We are the trees, some samplings, some giant oaks, but we all lose leaves in life. And like nature, we dig down into the ground, roots going deeper. At times we go dormant to strengthen, to rest, to recollect our energies- and our dreams. Si, otro año se termina, this year is almost finished, but that doesn’t mean we are.  Find encouragement in being. Be proud of what you’ve lived and learned this year, for with that, you have the chance to bloom again.

May your Dia de Gracias Be Everyday Beautifuls.

Babushka Besos a Todos. Cuidensen.

Living Thanksgiving Everyday with a #GSOG .

 From the November 2021 publication of Conexion, BB shares this heartfelt wish for all.

`

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Isn’t that a bella sentimiento? Speaking of bella and Thanksgiving, let’s mention the people who without their beautiful sentimientos there would be no national day of thanks. A little known, very importante, well deserved recognition to a group of people BB admires very much-the  Indigenous American People.

Gracias to their kindness and guidance, the European settlers learned to farm the lands and find foods to eat.  Their generosity helped the strangers survive an unknown land. In thanks of a year of survival, a feast was held. And from this gesture of gratitude is based the American holiday of Thanksgiving.

To this punto Babushka wants to start her writing. Giving Thanks and being a Blessing to Others. If you have followed BB, you know her #GSOG postings. That stands for-

 #GigaSecond #Of #Gratitude. Just a momento of each dia to acknowledge a blessing experienced that day. Noon is the hour an alarm goes off en el celular to remind BB to stop, take a deep breath, and give gracias for what has passed that day. Sometimes the only thing that comes to mind is to give thanks for another day, and that’s a very important punto too.  If that’s the only thing you can think of to give gracias for, it’s not a bad one, not at all.  A quick, sincere blessing each day puts us in touch with the momento, the now of our vidas. With this #GSOG the daily correcorre of the day is stopped to remind us of a bigger reason. We are here blessed and to be a blessing for others. Si, you can be and are a blessing pa’ otros. Remember this, believe this, know this.  Your actions, your being, affects those around you, and that in turn affects those around them. We are all connected Beautifuls, here to share the blessings of this bella vida. 

November is the month of Thanksgiving. May it live daily in nuestras vidas.

Babushka Besos a todos. Cuidensen.

Year of the Quarantine- Covid Crisma @Conexion Dec. 2020

December edition of Conexion, the bilingual newspaper of North Florida. This is Babushka's article.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

 Diciembre. 2020. Wow and Woah. Like every year, lleno de ups and downs. Like every year, things lost and learned. Like every year, we agonize the dragout of days, pero al final we think how quickly it all went. 2020. Like every year, pero no.

Ahora, in case you’re pensando 2020 has been all bad, let Babushka remind you of how it made us ALL STOP. The tiqui tiqui of our daily vidas was affecting us and our planeta. Nature started to thrive de nuevo, and hopefully so did you and your familia. Slowing down, taking stock of los whats and whys of our lives, el verdadero valor de the whos of our time, all this thanks to 2020. The heightened sense de gratitud for basics, finding alegria in simple tasks, this in 2020. The realization how we truly are entwined with each other, the social goods being done, and those needing to get done. All this Gracias to 2020. 

Y ahora, en Diciembre of 2020, what are the real presents attained? As you gather your gifts and family for the holidays, make sure to say Gracias for todo. Gratitude for la vida, and the fulfillment of the year, to make us stronger in life lessons and gentler in dealing with ourselves and each other.

 This Beautifuls,  is BB’s 2020 holiday wish for All.

Babushka Besos a Todos. Cuidensen.

November Nuances-Niceties y Necesidades. Nov. 2020 @ConexionFlorida

 From the November 2020 edition of @ConexionFlorida is a BB reminder of what the month is for...

swtblessings.com

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Hay dos major events that happen in Noviembre this year. El primero, Thanksgiving, Día de Acción de Gracias, is about being thankful, grateful, and feeling blessed. Ahora, eso si, aunque we should feel los tres, you realize there is a difference verdad?

To be thankful is el momento we think of who gave, what the gift is, y quien receives the gift. Nosotros somos the recipient and offer our thanks to the giver . El Diccionario Merriam-Webster defines thankful as “conscious of benefits received”. A conscious act from the person who received the benefits. For example, when someone opens or holds a door open for you, one should say “thank you”.  Aunque nowadays that is not at all common, so for Babushka that is in the Grateful banda. Grateful that there are still people who are courteous and conscious of others. And here’s the definicion of grateful.

Grateful is the feeling within, for something or someone which is not momentary, not necessarily action generated. So you say, pero BB, JU SO FONII! You just gave the example of someone opening the door for you as grateful, gratitude. Si, the accion of opening the door was momentary, but knowing that manners and caring of others still exists fills Babushka con long lasting felicidad y gratitud. Being grateful is also about appreciating what one has, as opposed to what one wants. To see the blessings of our lives is what gratitude encompasses. So, now, what is Blessed?

For many Blessed has religious connotations, pero for Babushka it is simply being conscious of your thankfulness and gratitude. To be aware of both and living daily in that awareness. In the American tradition, Thanksgiving came about when the Pilgrims celebrated their first successful corn harvest and invited their Native American allies. After all the hardships they endured, this truly did encompass being los tres, Thankful, Grateful, Blessed. And now BB writes on the second US November event that happened - Elections.

Whatever the outcome, whether it agreed with your wants or not, let us live the first part of this writing. In this difficult year of 2020, let us be Thankful for all the ways we had to vote; feel Grateful that the right to vote is ours, and know we are Blessed to live here. Beautifuls, let’s live November with this knowledge.

Cuidensen.

Hola Otoño Hello October in @ConexionFlorida

This is the article Babushka wrote for the October edition in  Conexion, the bilingual newspaper in N.Florida , Alabama and Georgia. Hope you follow the above link to the online edition to see all the eventos and wonderful info shared monthly.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Last month Babushka took a breakesito to celebrate her 57th  cumples. Now, when BB says break, she means from writing here, porque Septiembre definitely was not calm in any sense of the word, except for the acceptance of another year of life. With luck it is inevitable ,with acknowledgement, full of grace. Getting older definitivamente has its’ challenges, pero it has its’ momentous momentos too. “Less being more” becomes a manifesting life lesson, sabiduria en lo sencillo, siempre and in todo.  

Looking for a good description of this, a Twofer was found.

An excerpt from a post, “The Autumn of Our Own Existence”  by Omid Safi -

“As I enter this autumn season — and the autumn of my own existence — I am growing slowly more
comfortable with the becoming less and less, so that more and more can be revealed.

Bring on this Autumn of the soul.

Welcome these colors shining through.”

The colores of fall, the changing from bright greens to rich yellows and gold, perfecto metaphor for growing older, the Autumn of our Lives. It can be a time of reflection, of beauty. Como todo en la vida, with gratitude the belleza of the present season makes the colors richer and their presence more precious. 

Look for the beauty in each season Beautifuls, they are there and they are bountiful and plenty. Mull over your daily moments, hay bastante blessings in each day if your take the time to look. For her parte, Babushka loves the symbolism, cider and sabiduria of this season and is grateful for its’ beauty and tastes. Drink up, indulge, ingest it all! 

The taste of Fall, enjoying it with all her senses.

Babushka Besos a todos.

Appreciation is Love. Gracias @Seaworld for sharing Latino Lore. #hosted #3KingsDay #ValentinesDay

This was originally posted for the February issue of Conexion. BB was given three media passes to Seaworld for their Three Kings Celebration. Opinions and post all Babushka's.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

It’s Febrero and lots of y’all are thinking about Valentine’s, Dia de los Enamorados. Aunque Babushka’s been married 3 times and romanced plenty, write on that aspect? JU SO FONII!! Today we speak on something different.  

BB takes daily life and being grateful for it very seriously. Those of you who follow Babushka on social media know that at noon is posted #GSOG #GigaSecondOfGratitude #GospelOfGracias. This is where a quick shout out to life is shared. It could be for anything, everything. This is what is wished for you this year Beautifuls-to be grateful for life and all its' adventures. Hoy BB shares her first adventure of the year.

Babushka started 2019 off with a hosted visit to SeaWorld Orlando , on Three Kings Day. Reyes, celebrated by a major Florida theme park. Think about this Beautifuls. Via the US Census, Latinos in the summer of 2018 made up 25% of the states population- yet there had been no dedicated dia to us. Gracias Seaworld. BB went to the inaugural Reyes Celebration last year and wanted to see if they would repeat it. Not only was it repeated, but it was bigger. No te puedo decir how happy we were to see more of our culture shared. The foods, the musica, the beautiful sound of our language being spoken, sin pena and often. Families sharing with their little ones the story of the 3 Kings and their memories of childhood celebrations. The best part of the grand day was in the final show. The “warm up” was a latino singer/musician who spoke to the audience in Spanish and sang Christmas songs of their youth. Sin exageration, a BB se le aguaron los ojos, couldn’t help getting emotional when a giant auditorium was filled with love of their Navidades Nativos, all joining in song, memorias y longing. Being able to relive the joy and reason of the season, to share with family our ways, our culture, in GRANDE. Because we all know recognition by a major presence vale mucho in the world’s eyes, we thank you Seaworld Orlando for the festivities.

Appreciation is love. And there is so much to be appreciative of. Make sure to acknowledge whatever brings you joy. Share that acknowledgement and joy wherever you can. The memory will bring you more joy, and we could all use some of that.

Love. 
This article shows appreciation and familia fall under that palabra. 
What falls under that word for you Beautifuls?

BB2U

P.S.  Gracias to Seaworld Orlando FB Messenger for sharing the musician's info.
That performance was wonderfully done by Samuel Velez. 

🎜Silver & Gold🎝 December Darlins' - Forever Friends

🎜Make New Friends, but Keep the Old. One is Silver and the Other Gold🎝

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

BB has been Blessed with many Beautifuls in her vida- YOU being one of them. BB is grateful for all of you.  There are two Bellas in particular who give all year round, but shine brighter than usual in December.  Babushka would like to share their light in gratitude. The song starting the post is old, but very verdad and describes these two in BB's life. One from childhood, the other from not too long ago. 🎜Silver & Gold🎝  .

**TG Merry**

TG's Papa was a bigwig with the Home Builder's Assoc.and was transferred from Missouri to Miami during our highschool years. Talk about culture shock!! Pero TG acclimated very well and quickly; she learned to love the comida and the people. Bb's Papa calls her "The Cuban from Missouri" to this day.  He was impressed by her manners, genuiness, brains. A wiz in math, my engineer father liked having conversations with her. Dear Memories de many happy horas spent in their casa, truly down to earth, loving people who BB missed immensely when they moved away.  Since then we have seen each other maybe 4x (she was MOH at Babushka's 1st wedding) but the amor is still there.

All year long TG does for others, her familia, her church, her community, but she shines even brighter in December. Most people take their Bday months suave, pero her Cumples is on December 25 (imaginate!) and her inner star enlightens stronger and for so many.  TG is now a mom and every year she sends out fotos with an original Family Christmas Poem sharing the events of the Merry Familia for that year. LOVE getting those. One year she didn't send to  BB and it was quickly reclamado!

 This year Mama G went to heaven, she would have loved the way her passing was shared. She was a good, giving mujer and TG is very much her hija. And TG is very much a part of Babushka's Golden Memories.

**Maria Ortiz**Cultura Latina Magazine**

Maria messaged BB several years ago via Feibu. Don't know how she found Babushka, but so glad she did! If you want to know anything and everything that has to do with "La Hispanidad" in Tallahassee, Maria is the one to contact.  As owner/editor of Cultura Latina Magazine she has been sharing her love of the hispanic culture and people for years. Pero that be the only way she helps and highlights us? JU SO FONII!! A diligent dynamo, she is sought after to organize and host  many events. She lives solidarity and inclusion- of ALL people. Naturalmente she is much loved here because of this, but mostly it's because she gives de corazon, from her corazon. An example of this was a Christmas Low Tea Party, part of Maria Ortiz's Wonderworld. Oh si, she's into cosplay tambien.

"We are celebrating a very Merry Christmas Low Tea Party by order of the Queen of Cultura Latina Heart in honor of all the years of friendship and sisterhood.  You are hereby summoned to attend to celebrate withthe ueen who has planned a fabulous afternoon with tea and treats!"

And an intro from Maria herself-

Enjoy the detalles and the delightful dignitaries- Tally artists, writers and lovers of culture.

Cynthia Rose, Barbara Joe Williams, the lovely madre/hija team behind Studio Heart Events amongst them. 

Hope you noticed the Reyes Magos amongst the decoraciones. Naturally they had to be represented, especially by Maria who celebrates them with a public party. She's even got the Mayor in on it! Details on that despues on Feibu. 

Babushka knows y'all would love these Bellas as much as she does. 

 This is just BB's way of showing a little Amor and saying Gracias for their years of friendship.

Hoping you have Silver & Gold in your lives, and that they know how precious they are pa' ti.

Feliz 2019 Beautifuls!

Babushka Besos a todos.

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

A post shared by Bohemian Babushka (@bbabushka) on Jun 14, 2018 at 9:00am PDT

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!!

Memorial Day means Mucho Up North in The South. @VisitWakulla Wakulla County Florida

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Many of you have questioned Babushka as to why she would leave Miami, her familia, to come up to Crawfordville, a little rural town in Florida's panhandle. Bueno, it's been almost 15 años and BB doesn't regret the decision at all. Es mas, now The Eldest has brought her clan here too.  Perhaps after this post you'll understand mejor part of the charm.

A true example of small town America, one feels the calm of community. And the power.  The Memorial Day service was a perfect show of both.  In the middle of town, in front of our courthouse was held the ceremony. With bowed heads, we all joined an invocation for paz and appreciation for the day, it's meaning, and for our country.

El amor de comunidad, the joining of past history, and the importance they hold to the citizens of the county. We make sure those beliefs are still held high here and are quick to bring them to mind lest one forget.  A proud patrulla who knows, the backbone of greatness is honoring those who came before and try to follow their examples. And we don't forget. Nor do we let them be forgotten.

We teach our children the importance of honor,civic pride, loyalty and good citizenship.

And as adults we make sure to show that honor too.

Vietnam, Korea, various and vast are our veterans.

Gracias to WCTV for sharing our celebration/rememberance/memorial.

Apparently this was a newsworthy event. Sadly there aren't enough of such memorials still going on.  Thankfully Babushka lives in a county that still believes in its importancia.

And in the importance of gatherings de comunidad- and comida.

Quee?? BB last in a county where they don't know celebrations must have good food?

JU SO FONII!!!

Gracias to local sponsors, 

hotdogs with all the fixin's, bottled water, iced tea and cake were given to all.

And In memory and Gratitude from All.

Babushka Besos a todos. Cuidensen.

May is for Mother's Day & Ms.Olivia - A BB BounceBack

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

This post was originalmente shared in 2012. Seems increible to BB that it's been 5 years already since I met Ms. Olivia, and also incredible that seeing her foto and recalling her aura still makes me smile and gives me paz.  Totally perfeccion that this be shared in the month we celebrate Mother's Day.  She just exuded motherly love, patience, the vibe of knowing and enjoying each moment.  Her "Life is so cool, and I'm cool with it."  attitude just radiated and encompassed. Babushka forget Ms. Olivia?  JU SO FONII!!!

4/2012   BB's an Original, but Ms Olivia is the Real Thing.
Saw her at the bus terminal and knew right away BB was seeing her future self.  Older but oh so stylish, she meshed the retro past with the boldness of today and gave it a flair of her own.  She was marvelous.

Traveling with her two daughters and her granddaughter, you could see she had loved and lived and continued to do both with grace and a natural air.  Babushka was all excited with plans and strategy for the Hispanicize 2012 conference and was in her own little world- and then she saw Ms. Olivia who reminded me what BB's real world should be.

Here was a woman who had found her way a long time ago, was comfortable in her skin, whose very essence exuded "this is my style, this is my life, this is me- and I like me".  Her beauty - inner and outer brought tears BB's eyes.  Have you ever sensed the presence of true beauty?  The knowledge of self worth and the radiance of self acceptance- THIS is true beauty  and Ms Olivia embodied it.

Babushka had to take a picture of her, to remind oneself of what is possible, to remember what BB aspires to be,  and so shyly approached Babushka's new idol to ask her permission.  Ok si, I hear you- "BB, You- Shy?!?  JU SO FONII!!!"  And you'd be right 99% of the time to doubt, but this was the 1% of our human race who had actually attained self love and Babushka was in awe and humbled. 

She graciously heard Babushka's petition, smiled, and told me she'd discuss it with her daughter.  Her daughter of course wanted to be assured of one's sincerity and asked why BB wanted to photograph her mother.  It was explained how Babushka wanted to capture her mother's style and love of self.   Apparently she believed BB because she came looking for me when we had a stop over, and BB didn't give her a chance to change her mind.

Ms. Olivia was in pure joy when she posed for the camera as was Babushka that she had allowed me the honor. BB believes her daughter had known her mother was exceptional as she thanked me profoundly for noticing.  But how can one not notice?  It would be like not noticing the Lady Moon as she shines and shimmers, not noticing her beauty naturally escaping and filling our nights. No, BB's the one who is thankful to Ms. Olivia for her example and hope this does her justice as she inspires us all to embrace our lives and ourselves. 

Babushka Besos a todos.  Cuidensen.
