A Year Ago: 'I was not aware until recently.  I did not know this music existed and I am sad for the time I missed and simultaneously glad for being here now. I'm not going to provide details of this band.  If you are interested please go ahead and search for that information yourself.  If you care, it may bring a smile.   I love the music I have heard from this band so far. Literally, everything makes me smile and feel an uplifted kind f joy that I do not feel often with just music.  Normally there has to be some sort of memory already attached to a song but this album I've been listening to today is phenomenal.  'right out tha gate.' DECIDE. Such a great word.  Yes, there are innumerable possibilities in this world.  Possibilities of the life you could live, the path you could take to lead you, hopefully, to heights of success and happiness you can't even imagine.  But, the thing is, you have to decide.  You can't let yourself sit there and think so much.

 Ok, so this is the thing.

I'm not sure what the deal is here.  I started a blog years ago but have been less than consistent posting my writings here.  I want to change that.  So here we go.

I'll start with a re-introduction.  I'm not sure if I really introduced myself at the beginning of this and, if you have read any of my posts, you have a pretty good idea of who I am.  Yes, all three of you that read this blog are pretty fantastic.  Heck, I'm not even sure it's the same three reading my posts every time...heh...no matter.  I am writing for anyone reading that might feel 'less' or 'stranger than most' or just wants to see what strange and unusual Dominicans who live in Florida write about when left to their own devices.

There we go. I was born on a sunny afternoon in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic to an American mother and a Dominican father.   Both of them had met and fallen in love amidst a crew of those lifelong friends I hope all of you have in your life as well.  They all worked and volunteered together at the Peace Corps in Santo Domingo.  I arrived just a few days after Christmas in 1974 and have been delighting crowds ever since.  Most often just the occasional few who were around and up for a drink or a movie or an existential-tear-inducing-come-to-the-truth-of-who-you-truly-are kind of conversation.  You know the ones that only get better while sipping on a good whiskey or tequila.

As a typical Capricorn, I am interested in knowing everything and letting you know that I do...know everything.  I also want to accomplish all the things.  The things are comprised of dreams and starry levels of success and, more intensely lately, self growth.  The wildness of life is that my dreams are shape shifters and levels of success are much like beauty, really mostly to be found in the eye of the beholder.  I am the beholder.  I guess you could be too and you might think that rising to be the controller for a national food service company location in Atlanta, GA was one of those such heights.  As the beholder who is constantly in a state of change and self learning, success has changed its look from larger and larger paychecks to calm and the ability to schedule my day as I please.  To be able to choose what I do and to always make sure I am either learning or teaching by example as I go.  The trick right now is to make sure I can not have to worry about my bills while I live this life of mine.


Look, I may be completely full of myself in thinking that I can make a life that is full and fun and intricately filled with options of what to tell you or to think about or to observe on a sunny day at the beach.  I know people, right now, who love me, that might be thinking I am completely crazy.  The truth truth is I am.  I truly believe that people like me, crazy people, are the ones who help change what must be changed.  Crazy people left caves and built protection from weather wherever they wanted to.  We now call this protection a home.  Crazy people wrote down stories told for centuries around fires in small communities and family groups.  We now call them books.  Crazy people stared at the night sky and wondered what all of that was up there twinkling.  We now call them scientists.  I am no architect and I am no scientist but I am interested in both and I often read books and articles and watch documentaries about both and so much more.  I am even crazy enough to hope that one day you will read my words in the pages of a book that you can open on your phone or, and here I give you my age, on your lap or held precariously above your face as you push your eyelids to stay open so you can get in one. more. page.


I am definitely crazy. 


so...that's me...in not a nutshell.  I am 40'some year old Dominican-American living in Florida and writing my heart out because I must.  I hope you enjoy.


Before I go, thoughts? are you also strange and unusual? Where are you reading from? Is there any particular info or thoughts you would be interested in reading my views about in this blog?  Leave a comment and let's see what we can do about it.

Space Is The Place - Men I Trust

Interesting things are afoot. Space Is The Place - Men I Trust                                                                    Video by  Andreas  from  Pixabay   I finally set up my desk to do desk things instead of jewelry things and it is an interesting afternoon to say the VERY least.   Time and time again I will reiterate to myself and to YOU.  The best way to stream of thought your cares and worries away, the best and most wonderful way to find your typing rhythm and, simultaneously, enjoy yourself so much that the sides of your mouth curl into a smile…one…at…a…time…is to type with beautiful music playing directly and clearly into your ear.  Mood lighting, a cool fan breeze, light thunder outside, and a pretty little glowing candle are not necessary but boy oh boy do they add to the nuanced mood here today. Again and unsurprisingly, Men I Trust has handled the required need as only pros can, and I am comfortably sat on a rolly chair at the beginning of the end of a voluptuous S

WTF...Oh Right

It gets harder to stay focused every day.  I create and create.  I photograph, edit and post.  I research SEO and trends then remember 'my people will find me' is the motto I'm working with.  My fear tries really hard to take over and make me focus on how much money I'm NOT making because NO ONE is buying what I'm selling.  I even think this post is too close to giving up. One thing I know for sure is I have been successful at finding who TF I am.  I came to Florida to be with family... my brother has known me his entire life.  He knew me before life changed me and so it is easy to just 'be' here.  There are a couple other places/people I can do this in/with but this was the cheapest to move to. No make-up, a basic uniform of clothing to wear each day, no decisions to make, clean hair and skin.  Sleep and eat as well as I can, sweat often, stretch and exercise, and feel all of it.  Affirmations in the morning and at night, face yoga, I'm still a woman.

I want to rent a small, warm cabin near woods in the middle of a super snowy winter place.  I want all the wood I could need to already be cut and I will plan for and purchase the food needed to stay there for 2-3 months.  I want to be there alone with a dog or two and all the jewelry supplies I have plus a few more purchases.  I also will need electricity to listen to books, music, and movies.  Wifi for sure but not for communication.  I have always wanted this.  Some sort of cabin alone with dogs for cuddling and security.  It reads like I am, more and more, retreating from the world but I don't feel like that's what's happening.  At least it's not the desired end result. There's a whole world that doesn't yet exist because I haven't created it and I need A LOT of space to get it going.  I'll have to give it love and attention so it can become an extension of me but not me. I wonder sometimes if people love me because of the memories they have of me or
