Day 1 - March 21st. 2011

I figured today would be as good a day as any other to start writing my 365-day journey.


During these past  3 years as a channel I have been asked many times what my life is like. I am a private person (sort of), so I don't say much. And people are respectful, so they don't ask much.  I realize some people have created a mental image of me that resembles very little to the real me. hehehe


So, I have this gift.  Three years ago I was desperate to get out of the rut I was in and stumbled across the Law of Attraction, Abraham-Hicks and meditation.  And in doing so, I actually achieved what so many spend their whole lives searching for:  enlightment! Seriously!  Some even retrieve to Tibet!  One day I was meditating and my head started moving; I started spelling words with my nose and beautiful messages started coming out. I was told I would spread the message all over the world and three years later, this message is being heard in over 20 countries around the world.  I've written a beautiful book: The Universe at Your Feet and traveled half-way around the world spreading this amazing message.


But who am I.  What do I do when I am not "connected"? What do I do when I am not channeling?  My life has changed tremendously indeed. My outlook on life is amazing compared to the way I used to see life back then. However, I live a regular life. I pay bills (often late). I drink on ocassion. I smoke when I'm surrounded by good friends and wine. I dance and sing. Oh, yes. I almost forgot. I also work.


And today was no exception.  I woke up cursing the alarm clock. Meditated for about 10 minutes. Yawned, stretched, and jumped out of bed. I realized we barely had time to drop off who from now on will be known as  Mr. Grasshopper at school and make it to work at a decent time. So the rat race was on! 


I prepared the oatmeal concoction for Mr. Grasshopper. He's determined to lose weight and look good for high school. As water was heating for my morning coffee, I ran back to my room, emptied half of my closet trying to find an outfit that made me look good, young, thin and professional. I realized that I didn't have one, so I settled for the old black slacks and very-cute polka-dot shirt (courtesy of the Author in Florida).  After the Grasshopper and I had a short argument about who was going to feed our three-legged faithful companion, I gulped down my delicious cup of coffee, gave the Artist (who, by the way, was still in bed knowing she had to be at work in about one hour) a few last minute instructions and... off we went!


I love my morning rides with the Grasshopper. He is so insightful!We always have meaningful conversations. Like, what I'm going to cook for dinner that evening. Just kidding, he really is a cool kid.


I choose not to listen to the news because they depress me. So I listenned to Elton John all the way into work. Was I in a good mood when I got there!  The morning went by quickly. Spent some time talking to my Sassy oriental friend and had some fun speaking Spanish for some people.  I exchanged a few emails with The Manager about a couple of book proposals we have just submitted. Did an awesome mess with a new software I'm supposed to be learning and ate an amazing vietnamese sandwich.  The day went by smoothly and before I knew it, it was time to go home.


I had decided today was a good day to start talking to you.  So after taking Mr. Grasshopper to his after-school classes, I hurried home and started building this blog. 


Now it's time to feed some people around here and then off to meditation and a good-night sleep.
Ta-da! See you tomorrow.
