In order to start my Happiness Project I have to organize myself and make lists of resolutions for each month. The book gives me some guidelines and it presents some questions I must ask myself first. What makes me feel good?It makes me feel good to read, to write, to research subjects, to learn new skills, to accomplish things. Spending time with my family, going out, shopping, watching TV

I just finished reading the book The Happiness Project and it recommends making resolutions instead of goals. The difference between a goal and a resolution is that a goal, once you do it its done. But a resolution is something you can stick to for the rest of your life, or for how ever amount of time you'd like.So this is my first resolution: post on my blog every Tuesday & Thursday, and

Ok, so here we go. Starting once again. I took a break from Blogging since March, and now I'm ready to start. This is a brand new direction I'm going to be heading, so I hope you join me for the ride.For the upcoming months I'm going to be writing about a few different topics, Family & Marriage, Celebrities, Health and Fitness and some topics of inspiration.I'm going to do new articles on

As I go by the weeks reading The Artist’ Way and going through most of the weekly tasks I find learning so much about life and today was no different. The Title of this week’s topic is: Recovering a Sense of Possibility and it talks about how we tend to settle with just enough, and how we don’t feel like we can accomplish great things. We are encouraged to create a dependency on our creator as it

This week I read something really interesting in the book The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron it talks about Anger, and she describes Anger as a fuel. And that most people tend to stuff it and ignore it, yet she suggests we listen to it. She calls Anger a map of our boundaries and it must be respected. But it also explains that Anger must be acted upon and not acted out. She gives a few examples

I recently became a part of this Women's Writing Group in my neighborhood. The experience has been amazing. How it works is that we each bring something we have written to the meeting, we read it out loud to each other and we give and get feedback on our writing. This has been a wonderful experience because not only have I found more women with similar interests than me, I have been able to

The topic of my blog is True Identity, but what does it really mean? I have embarked in this journey for many years, and I feel as if I'm only getting started. Along my journey I have met many people struggling with this problem as well, people who feel lonely, they lack a sense of belonging, people who find no meaning to life, no purpose, no faith. Mothers who feel confused as to where it is

Today I was reading the news and read an article about how Michelle Obama had crossed the line by talking publicly about her daughter's issues with weight. I read that Michelle Obama said while discussing child obesity that she had her own wake-up call when her children's pediatrician told her that her children where becoming overweight and that made her start thinking more about making better

I haven't written in so long! I started using the book The Artist Way for those familiar with the book I'm in the 1st week of assignments. For those who don't, The Artist Way is a 12 week "course" designed to break your artist block. Today is Day one of Week one, I am excited and hopeful for what comes ahead.Today while I was reading the book this morning I noticed how the books makes this

I am overwhelmed at the choices I have in life, of the decisions I have to make. Us as parents in this day and age have been held responsible for the emotional well being of our children, and even though it is true that we can make or break our children, I feel this is a huge responsibility and it's scary. When our parents where small I think the only thing the parents of that time worried was

Today I had my day of discovery and amazement. It was insane! I have been in NYC for 10 years, and I have always found it hard to adjust to the winter as I come from Puerto Rico and I am more comfortable in the warm tropical weather. In PR 75 degrees is considered cold, so imagine my surprise when for the first time in my life I found myself being grateful for weather above 50 and deemed it "warm

I haven't written in two months! A big No-no in the Blogging community. But since I have no readers yet, I guess it's not as bad....A lot has changed since last time I wrote. I feel like I do have a map now. Yey!! And I have Momasphere to thank for that! Free advertising here!! LOL They don't know it yet but they have changed my life.

I have been thinking that I wish my life could be somewhat different than it is right now. I feel like I'm in a transitional period, and that at some point I will be able to do something better in life, be more productive...Do you ever feel that way? I want my life to be more meaningful. I want to be there more for my daughters and help more people than my boss. I want to be able to inspire, to

Today I would like to say that it is very tough for a mother to have to watch her child scream hysterically when she leaves them at school. The first 3 days of school went by perfectly, not a single tear. Then the 4th day of school arrives and my child was the only one screaming her little head off. I must confess it broke my heart and I was just about to take her with me back home. But the

Today is the first day of school for my daughters. And with this new school year, we are faced with new hopes, and dreams, and with new concerns, and new goals.My oldest, Gaby, starts 4th grade today, she was accepted into the Stellar Program and I'm very proud of her. I am very hopeful of this Stellar Program, and I hope this experience is good this year. In the past Gaby has had a tough time

I haven't written in a while, I've been studying, remodeling my house, etc. I've been thinking and re-thinking about all the things I want to put into this website. All the things I want to write about. About all the things that get in the way of people's true identities and of the things that can help find it. But it's so much info that I'm also just recently learned and that I'm still trying to

I have not written in a while... because I said that I was going to give this Blog a purpose other than healing myself from my fear of writing and expressing my feelings. Well, I do have a purpose of this blog, however I realized that I am still afraid of writing because in the past few days I had to deal with the loss of my step dad and I've been sad and angry and many feelings came out that I

I have been reading other Blogs recently instead of writing. I've been thinking about how to go about making this Blog into something with a Purpose. I started this as a way to get over my fear of writing. After being a wishful writer for some time and then a contributing writer and editor for a local magazine, I found myself with a phobia to writing. This phobia to writing (yes, phobia, panic

What began like a energetic day filled with excitement ended up as a Blah day that I don't feel like doing absolutely nothing.. I'm distressed by the prospect of giving my car to a junker... somehow it feels like it would be a waste, I mean, the car is not alive but it feels like a part of me, I would feel better if someone bought it from me and gave it a nice home...sounds silly I know.

A long time ago I read on a book about metaphysics that HOPE is not good. How so? Well, for a person to have hope in something means that they have a certain degree of doubt, which means that they lack faith. And lack of faith is along the same lines of Fear which is the opposite of Faith. If you really think about it then it makes sense, because if you have total Faith in something, then you

Well, ok, I'm not sure if it was a teenager, but even though I am stereotyping or assuming, it is really difficult for me to believe that a grown person could have done this...What am I referring to? Well... a few month's ago I was on my way to work and when I get to my car (a 1988 Volvo 240DL - that I bought for $500 on craigslist a little more than a year ago - It's a piece of crap but it takes

Last night I had a very vivid dream. I woke up at 3am and told my hubby about it, that's why I still remember it. I was at a park with my husband eating popcorn ( I had a craving for popcorn before going to sleep) all of a sudden I give him the popcorn bag and tell him I'll be right back. I am dressed in a red long sleeve t-shirt and jeans and sneakers. It's almost sundown. I walk toward a Church

OMG, I feel nauseous! Remember I said that I was going to start bringing my own lunch in order to save money in the About Dreams Post? Well...today I didn't. There was enough left over food to eat for dinner today again, so I figured I would eat that instead of having to cook again...So I had a filling breakfast and headed off to work thinking I would eat something like a salad or something,

Today is one of those days, that I don't feel like working. I think it's because I don't like to be reprimanded, like I was today. What happened was that my neighbor who practically lives in my house was graduating today, she had mentioned her graduation several months ago, however, she told me the date and gave me a ticket last night! So I didn't know about her graduation date and time until

It is curious that today I read 1 article about dreams and it's meaning. I get updated in current events by whatever is in the Yahoo Main Page (sad, I know) but today there was this article about Dreams and how they believe that there is a relationship between dreams and good emotions. My interpretation of this article, was that dreams when undisturbed are beneficial in exposing bad emotions and
