My computer and ME!

Image
Picture of Google W hen I met you I knew you were for me. Plop! T his phrase is from a song but it fits very well with my computer, and it has been my best anti-stress for many years. N obody teaches us to be parents, we can read many books, analyze them, and be clear about what we want for them, but everyday life is completely different. Emotions often play a very important role in us being able to be an excellent guide for our children, therefore, we must ask ourselves... What can I do to let my emotions flow and not interfere with my personal and family goals? I found in Microsoft Word ,   a friend to whom I could talk about my emotions until I was tired, without hearing reproaches or questioning of my decisions, and even worse that phrase “I told you so.” I don't consider myself introverted, but I do consider myself realistic, and I knew that if I wanted one of my friends to listen to me, I had to accommodate myself to her time. You know, all people go about their business an...

How to win MONEY

Image
Picture of Google 24 hours a day, 7 days a week we are pursued by online advertisements of all kinds.  So I started thinking about how to make money quickly. 1st option: Do crazy things on social media. 2nd option: Dance almost naked to earn likes. 3rd option: Dress extravagantly and post photos on social media. 4th option: Participate with my entire family making videos that cause laughter and making myself look ridiculous in front of thousands of people. 5th option: Promote stupid challenges that can harm my life and the lives of others. ... U nfortunately, I don't like any option and there are things that money can't buy, such as my  INTERIOR PEACE. Contributing good things to humanity is my first and only option, perhaps I will not have the intelligence of Albert Einstein, but I have every desire to do good for my neighbor. I miss those times of my childhood, when you greeted people without knowing them, simply because greeting was the first thing our parents taught us and...

Self destruction

If I know that too much cigarette smoking could cause me many illnesses, then why do I consume a box a day? If I know that excess drugs cause addiction to me, then why do I use them? If I know that excess junk food affects my health then why do I consume it daily? If I know that excessive video games cause addiction, then why don't I set limits? If I know that surrounding myself with toxic people causes me stress then why don't I avoid them? D on't I have control of myself? W e can achieve a change in our bad habits and customs if and only if we have the WILL to achieve it. S ometimes we make so many excuses to keep falling into the same thing, knowing that we are self-destructing but that's just how human beings are, some weaker than others. I f you can't achieve for yourself, then you can seek help, not necessarily a professional, because you will use the excuse that you don't have money. But in this world, there are also good and kind people, those vitami...

Children are the reflection of PARENTS

Image
My strengths It has never happened to you that when your children do or say something, you say...  Oh my God, that's ME!!! Many times I have seen my attitudes in my daughters and they are not always the best (don't judge me, but I am an imperfect mother).  So, that is when I pause to analyze myself.  Is not difficult!! Believe me!!  The main idea is to think about its possible corrections. If I have always been aware of something, it is that being a mother implies a lot of responsibility, but that does not rule out having my own family from my mind. I have seen how my mother fought for us to move forward and I have never heard that she regretted having fertilized 4 children. Never! That's why she is the woman I  admire  the most in the world.  Throughout my life, I have had successes and also many mistakes, but is part of my personal experience. I know that the world has become very competitive and we want to stand out from others, whether it is having...

SWEET 40!

D ay 10/11/23.  T hank you for reminding me that in a couple of days, I will turn 40 years old and the spontaneous appearance of 2 gray hairs on my head made me step on the ground and say  WOW! SWEET 40 .  I almost ran out of the bathroom, literally! And it is not normal for me to see white hair, I love the natural color of my hair, but I am aware that soon gray hair will be my friend.  A lthough I have a young spirit, I know that it is not enough, because the law of gravity constantly reminds you that you must take drastic measures in yo ur appearance, pain will be your ally from now on, and without wanting to, you are already beginning to delve into natural medicine. Little by little, you distance yourself from the consumption of salt and sugar, and start using creams for your face, neck, and, if possible, all over your body. The truth, the truth, I'm not afraid of  death , but what does terrify me just thinking about it is being old, infirm, old, however, you...

My first baby and ME

Image
My baby and ME How can I forget what my mother told me... First, you must study a career, so if your husband is a bad man, you kick him in the butt and raise your children alone.  So, I did it, I studied a degree, I worked, I had several boyfriends, then I met the man who is now my husband, we got married and God blessed us quickly because after a month I was already pregnant. I was 27 years old, and nerves took over my mind, I started crying because I felt that a child is a lot of responsibility and that I was not going to be able to fulfill that mission. I knew that it required a lot of dedication, sacrifice, I felt that I was going to lose my freedom to go out dancing, travel, go for a walk, go out with friends. Instead of being happy I got scared!! A nd look, I was already 27 years old, but I thought that all my plans to be the Great Professional with a master's degree, executive positions and diplomas stuck on my wall would be truncated. Perhaps many women think the same. Mayb...

Early maturity

Image
QR Scanner Website Paola Arevalo A s the years go by, one sees the changes in our children and I can even affirm that each child is born with their personality. D o you remember that I have 3 girls? Well, now I want to talk to you about the one in the middle, as she says. M aybe she should be called « Sweet » , « Kindness »  or « Tenderness » ; she was born with many abilities; She has an amazing reasoning capacity, which any adult person cannot or will not do. Early maturity? Childhood maturity? Don't know. I could guide the disoriented and advise an adult who does not know what to do with her life who still does not find the light in her path and who does not know why she came to this world. I 'm not exaggerating!! T his is how focused my little girl is, the surprising thing is that she is 9 years old, she likes art, drawing, and creating, she has in mind to be a great artist, and she gets along well with scissors, colors, paints, erasers, and tape. S he can turn a piece o...

Pure LOVE

Image
Picture of google Is love a risk?  Probably yes. Don't know! Nobody knows what can happen over the years in a relationship.  When you think everything is fine, something unexpected happens and changes the entire direction of your life. But if I'm sure of one thing, it's that I'm very lucky.  And being a mother allowed me to know the purest love, a love that is capable of giving even my life.  I cannot feel happier and prouder of my gender. I remember perfectly the day my first daughter was born.   After 8 months, the girl who developed in my womb came to light, that baby who absorbed everything from me during my pregnancy. I hope she has been very selective during that process and has not picked up bad things about me. At that moment I forgot that they had given me anesthesia before and that I was afraid of that needle, but my inner voice only told me Be brave, be brave... and I was brave! I deserved a little star or a happy face on my hand as an incentive for m...

My favorite thing: "Dining table"

Image
Picture of google   Proclaim that the dining room table is the most important object in the home. It sounds very daring! Others will say that the most important thing is the bed where we sleep or perhaps the sofa. We may disagree, but this oval, round, rectangular, or square object is the one that unites all family members during breakfast, lunch, dinner, between meals, and family and friend gatherings. Yes or no? I could say that many have forgotten that it is a family breakfast and lunch during weekdays, that is the reality! If a normal person doesn't work, they don't eat, it's that simple! But at dinner, there is no valid excuse not to sit together. I t is the right time to put aside electronic devices and make the most of seeing each other's faces, giving each other advice, talking, laughing, asking each other questions and answers, or maybe praising Mom for the delicious dinner, I don't know!! The important thing is to promote communication and maintain health...
