#FBF Here's to Sixty!!

 From the Conexion September issue, BB shares her views on turning 60.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Summer’s Over, Vacation’s Done and time to Start School Again.  Babushka feels like she should do a “What I Did This Summer” paper. Actually, that’s not too far from la verdad; BB’s ready for school to start again. To be more accurate, time to continue the schooling…life schooling.  By the time you read this Babushka would have celebrated 60 years on the planeta.  Wow and Woah. So much has happened, and so much more to experience.  Quee?? Stop Life at Sixty? Slow Down at Sixty? JU SO FONII!!

This year is full of plans, of possibilities. Plans to learn new things, put into practice what is learned. Oh, and Possibilities- a film BB was cast in, “Dias de Gloria” , was accepted into a film festival. It was a student film and it was in Spanish. Incredible, pero cierto. Babushka speaking lines in Spanish. Ya never know what’ll salir de eso! Who knows, BB might be in a telenovela, aunque honestly, the prospect of comerciales sounds like a more fun futuro. But one musn’t forget lessons of the past while building the futuro. No hay uno sin el otro, Experience truly is the ground work we run on, and this coming dance around the sol Babushka plans marathons of quick steps.

While pursuing dreams y dinero, playing parts is perfecto- and so is passive income.  Will put more atencion on learning social platforms and promoting Babushka’s Bellas, the hair fashion business featuring Lilla Rose products.  Babushka fell in love with the productos, buying for herself and La Princesa. Now she’s all grown up and it’s time Babushka’s Bellas grows with her. So many plans,projects y projections, One doesn’t stop at sixty Beautifuls. You just have a clearer, less cluttered map for the camino.

Come along on Babushka’s trip.

Happy 59th Cumples BB! #FBF @conexionflorida Sept. 2021

From the September 2021 Edition of Conexion this post is a Cumples Copy. 

Hope you enjoy it as much as BB has enjoyed the last 59 years...

 

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

59 and feeling fine! Telling BB’s Angels, it’s not quite her time… Si, another Cumples, and Babushka couldn’t be más feliz. Matter of fact, healthwise, besides the COVID chacha, this is the best shape BB’s been in hace tiempo.  Gracias to Dancing with Diabetes, la dieta is healthier and life, not my food, is sweeter.  Oh si, a wonderful ejemplo how saying Life- JU SO FONII helps you rethink “negatives”. Being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes made la vida more precious and priorities rechoreographed.  Not that Babushka would want any of you to get this preventable disease, pero to stress a point.  “A lo malo, buena cara.”  Wake up points come at any time, many times in our vidas. Age doesn’t stop this , es más, BB would say it becomes more evident the older we get.

We get so many prods, that turn into pushes, that are precious possibilities if we allow them to be.  How many have you gotten Beautifuls? How many have you ignored? That small voice beckoning betterment isn’t yours, lamentablemente the doubt is. The more you follow your corazon’s calling, the more you appreciate la vida, porque the heart knows. And deep down, so do you.

If you speak to people “getting on in years” you’ll find some common threads. There are regrets for things they coulda/shoulda done, chances missed for not following that inner voice. And there are those who have come to the conclusion that life is not for  regrets and are going after that voice, embracing it at any cost. These are the ones that know life is for living, loving life and all it’s posibilidades. Ganando con Las Ganas. This is how BB plans to live the rest of her years. Here’s hoping they’ll be many more, pero si no, she knows the daily dance will be with every cell of her soul. To quote the great musical, The King and I, “Shall we dance?”

7 years later...#Babuboda

This was originally posted in March 2013. The reason BB's sharing it again? This week Babushka and Sweetie will be celebrating their 7 year wedding aniversario and, We're finally going on a honeymoon!!!  This is Babushka's 3rd matrimonio, a milestone on sooo many niveles. Hope you enjoy this paseo del pasado and are joining us on our cruise via Feibu, Tweety and IGrammy. 

 HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!!

 Do you remember Sweetie's reaction when I came back from Hispanicize last year? Bueno, looks like he gets nervous when I'm surrounded by so many Hunky Hispanos because this time he just said, "Let's Get Married."  No, not like the last time when he proposed/set a date, I mean "My mom is coming up here w/her best friend and I want to get married while she's here. At the courthouse."

Quee?? Pero what about #Babuboda you ask? JU SO FONII!!!  Ok si, I was looking forward to the party and seeing all my blogasphere besties and friends, but sabes algo?  When a 52 year old confirmed bachelor says he wants to get married you don't waste time- you get married!

At this point La Gallina Vieja took over. 

 #Babuboda was mine, but this at the courthouse thing was too simple and sublime for Babushka.  

And quiet!!  Oh my, the freezing winds were louder than the ceremony.

Still, the handpicked flowers from the yard, hung on the trellis with tulle-
the truth and gentleness of it.  

 And the true and gentle sincerity with which the vows were so assuredly repeated... 

how at this stage of life, love was ready to be declared and shared.

There wasn't a dry eye in the place.

Si, ok- it's loud and kinda My Spacey but BB had to put her spin on something in this wedding!! 

; )

A toast to Newlyweds and Love.

To the dreams they both inspire, seeing no age nor limit.  

Stronger than doubts and fears, may we always be in their Light.

ESO!!!

Babushka besos a todos.  Cuidensen.

P.S. 7 years later...

Still with Sweetie. 
Somethings get better with time.
