When I Grow Up

Recently I was asked, "In your twenties, should you just do what your heart desires without committing to one thing or should you hone in on your skill and stay focused with one thing?  In your twenties should you KNOW what you want to do with your entire life?" 


My response was, in a nutshell, there is no right or wrong, each person has to follow what moves them, what makes their soul dance, and their heart sing.

I know folks who were born knowing EXACTLY what they wanted to be when they grew up and worked their entire lives to make their desire a reality. I also know folks who just landed into positions that helped them to be responsible and live the way adults live and they opted to continue on that path.  I've met people who didn't know what they wanted, had no direction at all and just floated around, kinda like a feather, remember the feather in the movie Forest Gump?  

When I was eight years old I  wanted to be a Psychiatrist,  I'm not sure where that thought came from but I still remember telling folks this is what I was going to be when I grew up, whenever anyone asked, it didn't matter who asked, that was ALWAYS my answer.  I said I wanted to be a Psychiatrist until I was about, oh say maybe 16.  In high school my dream was to be an Executive Assistant so I can get paid well and could afford to go to college. One of my goals was to be a life learner (so far, so good).

I remember I was a feather, with a purpose, I still have a purpose every moment I attempt to embody my purpose. I may falter a bit as I AM a Spirit having a HUMAN experience but that is absolutely ok. I have compassion for myself and for others, I grow every day and ever moment.  I don't know for sure what I want to BE when I GROW UP but I do know I'm learning and loving every step of the way.


What do you want to be when you grow up?
Did you always know what career path you would take?
Are you currently doing what makes your heart sing?

Love transcends all things.  Trust in the wonder and power of your dreams.

Morning Brainstorm: 3-2-1 ACTION!

Have you ever had a Bento Box lunch?
Have you ever seen the show Herman's Head?
I'm giving you a polaroid of my brain and how it works, most of the time.
In my brain the thoughts are compartmentalized like a Bento Box and when I begin to share my thoughts it all turns into a party like the short lived 80's sitcom called, 'Herman's Head.'

I woke up this morning and thought to my self:
"It's Wednesday, gotta pick up Kayla, oh how, I love Wednesdays almost as much as I love Kayla. I crack myself up. Wait, what time is it? Should I even be up? Max is here and Jorge is here so it can't be past 7:30 or 8:00 am. This whole turn the clock back or turn the clock ahead just makes me nuts but days after it happens not on the day after it happens. Did I change the time in my car or on the microwave. I will call Mio today and talk about what I started yesterday when she was at the Hall of Science, wow, I've not been to the Hall of Science for over a year. I've got to get Max to Flushing Meadows park to take pictures by the unisphere. It was so cool to grow up in Corona, so close to the park, I don't think we took advantage of that as we should have. Corona, I don't like beer. Beer makes me sick. Come to think of it that ham and cheese sandwich I had made me a bit queasy. I love food but not when it sickens me! I do remember my mouth and belly were very satiated with that amazing appetizer at PO this weekend. Funny how we parked right outside the location where I told Yindy and Ryan that I was expecting, what a sweet dinner we had that day.  The GPS in the truck did not get us to PO it was absolutely the GPS on the iPhone.  Sometimes I wish I had an iPhone. I could use that locator app, the one the lady invented, the lady I met at the Senator Gillibrand Financial Empowerment summit for ladies, that was such an amazing event. It was inspiring. I need to confirm my mentor and write down who my character role models are and their characteristics/traits.  Latina Females, who do I know, who do I want to know? It was so cool to see Annie and her folks this weekend at that play. Immigration, what a traumatic thing. Thing, is it a thing? Can I call it an event..."

AAAAHHHH, Yawn Stretch! Up and out of bed and wow it's only 7:27 am, I have to brush, pee and get back to bed!


Namaste!
