Perceiving Love

… for me this is how I perceived love, as that was the love I grew up around and saw my entire life. However, does that mean THAT’S love? Highly unlikely. I am learning that what I perceive as love or even any other thing is not exactly how others see it. Which becomes such a shock in my system…

Depression is a Real Thing

Depression is a Real Thing.

Hey loves! 😊🙏💜🦄💨

I've been wanting to make a video about depression and suicidal thoughts for a bit. Finally, today I got the chance.

It's very important to understand that depression is SUPER real. When someone experiences that, it's the most real thing EVER.

I've gone through depression myself, and it's not fun at all. Depending on how deep your depression is, you might be living day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute or second by second. Mine got to the point of second by second. Second by second I was just surviving, trying so hard to stay alive.

In a stage like that, you don't wanna bug people. As a matter of fact, you actually thing you bug people, so you stay away. You hide, you disappear from the world, from your closed friends and family... It's horrible. But you still need someone you can count on. Someone that can be there for sure at any time; because sometimes you will need at at the most random times.

Please don't judge. If you haven't experienced depression, you have no right to judge any of it or people that are going through that or have gone. You can't possibly know how it feels like, so just be nice. Listen to them. Most of the time that's all I wanted: someone to listen to me and not judge me. Because when you are depressed, you do an extraordinary job at judging yourself, you don't need someone else to do it for u.

Please be kind to others. You might be the last drop that might take them to the extreme or the drop that saves them.

Blessings my sweet friends.

Ps: if you are going through depression and you need someone to listen to you, I am here for YOU. I know how it feels like and I fully open my heart to you. 😚😚💜🙏🦄

Be the Hero in your own Story

Be the hero in your own story! 💜🙏🦄

Part of the process of our evolution is experiencing the "Victim Mentality." It is something to truly pay attention to, because it could go on for a long time if allowed to.

In this phase of life, even if you know you've messed up, you turn things around on others so they feel sorry for you and perhaps you can get what you want. It's true, it's so real, but that's ok. Remember it's all a process.

However, the way I see things meow, that's self sabotage... you're not allowing the process to go, blocking it, not allowing yourself to continue growing and hurting you even more... oh man, have I done plenty of these ,specially when I was depressed! 😱 😕

The main thing though, is to acknowledge what you are doing. Do you wanna be stuck in the same mentality, stopping your evolution process when everything else is beautifully evolving?!

Start with acknowledging that you create your own reality. Meow, is that reality the one you want to continue create? Or is the one that you want to out an end to? 

Imagine the life of your dreams, visualize it and manifest it! Yes you can!

Be the hero of your story, because you ARE. Believe in the power within yourself. Believe in your manifestation powers and believe in YOU.! 😁😍🙌🙌💜🙏🦄🦄

HAPPY MONDAY SWEET FRIENDS! 

Many blessings and love your way!

Healing

"Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives"

As I healer, I struggled a bit in regards to helping others healing. I have no problem offering my services and giving my entire heart during a session, but before I used to put myself before others.

I thought that because I was a healer my mission was to heal everyone that I could, forgetting aboutmyself. I started to pay attention, to me, after realizing how much I was hurting my being for not taking care of myself. I concentrated on the things that make a difference not only in my life but in others. 

It's so important to remember that as we heal ourselves, we heal others just by being US! How dope is that?! 😍

Little by little, I saw the change and shift in me. What used to cause me pain, no longer does. As a matter of fact, it makes me smile, because that pain brought more growth. What used to trigger me... I used to be like fireworks 🤣😂😂... no longer does and if something wants to, I see where that's coming from to send it love and release it.

It's not easy, but it's so worth it. Just like yesterday that I felt so weak at times yet so strong at the same time! Knowing who I am, what I do, and how I conduct my life, helps me tremendously during my every day life... I gotta be honest, sometimes the outside world triggers the crap out of me, because of the different vibrations and levels of energy. As an Empath, I have to truly tune into me and see what's coming from within and what is coming from others... it can be fun if I treat it like a game. Haha after all, life is a HUGE DOPE GAME! 

Love yourself enough to the point you let go of that pain and damage. Not for anybody else but for you.

Know that nothing last forever even if you think you keep falling down, eventually you'll fly back up. Trust and BELIEVE.

YOU CAN!

So much love and blessings! 💜💜🙏🦄

Meditation

 

💜 Meditation 💜

How do you connect with your Higher Self, with the Divine, with Humanity, with our Pachamamita, with other beings?

When I first started my Meditation practice, it was all to make me chill a bit. I felt very edgy A LOT, with thoughts constantly coming into my mind and over thinking like no other. So my Meditation practice was to pause all that just for a bit, even for a minute. The more I continued with it, the longer that pause became and slowly but surely I was seeing and feeling glimpses of my truth... a little bit of that inner peace that we all have within. 
That became my goal, to meditate and feel that peace again, so I wouldn't forget. When the chatter stopped, it became more about connecting to ME, to the Source, to Infinity and beyond (Buzz Lightyear style 😉😁). To connect with my Higher Self, with Pachamama, with The Angels, Archangels, Ascended Masters, Guides, to remember that I am never alone.

AND then my practice became part of me, my lifestyle. There are so many beautiful things that happen during meditation. The more you do it, the more your thoughts don't control you, the more you tune into the reality of your being, the strength, the power, the love and you become aware that YOU ARE IT ALL and NOTHING, all at the same time.

It doesn't have to be perfect, it is a practice. Some days it might feel easier than others and that's ok. Some days you might be able to stay there for hours. The point is to do it and experience the beauty of YOU.

In a world that seems so chaotic at times, be the light that stands solid against all odds. Spread and shine your light so bright that even darkness will switch spots and come sit by you, becoming one with it all as well.

Blessings my sweet friends! 💜💜🌬🙏💨🦄

Self Love

Self Love can be one of the most challenging things, perhaps is because of all the conditioning we've had while growing up, the friendships we've had, the relationships we've been on, or what other have told us about ourselves. 

The most important thing to remember is that only YOU know the truth about yourself. Others can say whatever they choose, but when you know your truth, whatever others say, no longer affects you. So how do you get to that point? 

First, accepting yourself fully, no judgements about what already happened, just acceptance. Accept not only what you think is great about you, but also what you think is not and what you think is "wrong" with you. The latter is the one thing that keeps us stuck. When we think that there is something wrong with us, is because of a comparison we have done with others, whether is something about your physicality, or your innerself, and also, what we have believed of what others have said about us.

Know that the way you are, in the entirety of your being is for a reason. You look like you do, you feel like you feel, you act like you do for a reason. 

Write down everything you no longer what to feel like, write it all, break that page into pieces and burn it. Watch it burn it to completion and feel the release of whatever was inside that was preventing you from feeling your truth.

If you think there is something else, say outloud how much you love that about yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror and observe, observe the beauty that comes through your physical eyes, observe the life and the Universe that lives through you. Observe YOU and love EVERYTHING that you are looking at. One last thing:

FORGIVE YOURSELF & FORGIVE YOUR PAST. 

Sometimes we get stuck in the past bc we wanted to do something else and we didn't. Let it go, it's already gone. Be present in your life, so you continue to evolve and grow rather than being stuck behind. 

Remember:

YOU ARE TRULY BEAUTIFUL AND A MIRACLE

It's time for you to start acting like it! 

So much love and blessings! 😚💜💨🙏🦄🌬

Why Vegan?

I get asked so much why I chose to become a Vegan. Unlike most, never did I watch any videos or documentaries about what as human beings we do to animals. It all came with the change in my consciousness. 
As soon as I realized about the power of meditation I started practicing as much as I could. Every time I had some free time, I would meditate. It just made feel much better, lighter and my mind was not all over the place. I reached a point where I couldn't bring myself to eat more meat; the thought of it fully hurt my being. I knew it was because of the connectivity I was feeling; the Oneness of humanity and the Oneness of every single living being on our Mother Earth. The most important thing... I couldn't hurt anything at all, neither did I want to; I saw the reflection of myself in everything, so how could I hurt anything and at the same time hurt myself? My heart couldn't take it any longer.
I wanted to go straight to vegan, but I wasn't the one cooking at the time so I had to adapt. The kitchen was a total different world to me. I became a Pescatarian in June of 2015, but I was mostly eating like a vegetarian, so I considered myself as one. In February of 2016, I switch completely to Vegan, given that my consciousness was sky rocketing because of my Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training. 
I used to have really bad anemia problems, to the point that I had to get a blood transfusion during the fall of 2013. The moment I changed my diet, it all stopped. It goes beyond the diet though. I started to get even more connected with everything in our Universe, and my life was transforming deeper.
Today, I feel better than ever, physically, mentally and spiritually and I am beyond grateful for everything in my life.

Mothership Coffee Roasters

I have to be really honest, I am not a fan of big corporation coffee shops, sometimes they make me uncomfortable, so when I find a local coffee shop, I get really excited. Mothership coffee Roasters, located on Sunset rd and Green Valley Parkway, is so chill, has a great atmosphere, people are nice, friendly AND they have vegan options!! #Yayness
I don't drink coffee, but according to comments of others, its an amazing coffee! The Nitrogen brewed coffee is for you, if you want something strong to pick you up, but not bitter. The Macchiato, has a beautiful appearance, like they normally do, very tasty as well and it comes with sparkling water to wash anything off. If you like dark beer, such as guineas,  they offer the barley coffeethat really tastes like one! I had a sip... not for me lol I went back to have a big sip of my tea! Haha
Given that I don't drink coffee, they only caffeine intake I get is from the teas I drink, and do they have yummy teas! I normally get the Jasmine tea with almond milk, and it's like having a garden within your mount! Today I decide to give another tea a chance, so I got a Matcha green tea with almond milk and a bit of natural sweetener. It was delish too, however, I prefer having a garden within me lol.
Let's talk about their food! They offer a Vegan breakfast pocket. The first time I saw it, although it looked so good, I hesitated because of the vegan eggs. I don't normally eatprocessed foods, but I was also limiting myself. Today, I ordered one, second time I had it. They warmed it up for me and brought it to the table.... heavenly! I do have to admit that I am a sucker for anything with dough LOL! And it reminded me of an empanada that somehow the vegan version is hard to come around because of the egg coating on top. So, vegan eggs, potatoes, shrooms and veggies! #MiamMiam!!! So filling too, I had a semi difficult time finishing it lol
They also offer a fig galette, that I decided to take to go, since I knew I was going to be full... yet it was gone while I was there Hahaha if you like figs, this is for you! However, there is another taste in it, perhaps some blueberry to have the texture it has. Nonetheless, delish!
If you're looking for a good place to chill, people watch, enjoy a good cup of coffee or tea, and pair it with some yummy pastries, this is your place! Check it out! Cheers! <3

<3 Vie <3

Vie puppy, pronounced "V", as in Life in french, is about 3 and a half years old meow. I call her my little soulmate. When she came into my world, I was going through a really bad depression, as in trying to commit suicide constantly kind of depression. She has saved my life many times. There is something so special about a connection one can have with an animal. They have an unconditional love that doesn't compare with anything else.
Animals, can feel every as well (remember everything is energy) and they know when you need help. I remember struggling, her not even being in the same room, but knowing what was happening, she would come to me. Wagging her tail, she would lick my hand and everything "bad" would dissappear. I'd look into her human like eyes and it was like she was telling me, it's OK mom, im here for you. My entire being would fill up with so much light, love and happiness, something that it was extremely hard to feel at that time.
I would like to share a memory, that is very dear to me, although it was really intense in every single sense of the world. One day, about 3 years ago, during the peek of my depression, I was driving back home from Boulder City. My mind was so clouded with awful thoughts and I just wanted to run into a building and end my suffering. I had a moment of clarity and called a friend freaking out, explaining what was going on in my head;  he told me to pull over and wait for him to come get me. I stopped the car at the side of the highway, waiting impatiently, moving my fingers around, holding the steering wheel for dear life so I wouldn't get out of the car and do something silly. When my friend got there, he got into the car and freaking out I said I wanted to run into a semi and end it all. He held me down and said it's ok, things are going to be ok, and.... at one moment I remembered Vie, I remember her cute little wrinkles and the love that radiates from her being and told him, Take me to her.
As soon as I got to the house, I open the door of the car and she came running to me, she hopped into the car and started giving me those little kisses that can bring a dead man back to life. She made me smile, I hugged her giving her thanks for saving me, because I knew that I hadn't saved her, she had saved me.

Vegan Burger out of Indian Food Leftovers ;)

August 3, 2016

YES! You read right ! Lol let's be honest, how many times do we go out to eat, have leftovers and then perhaps they just sit in the fridge or you just eat them like you would normally eat them at the restaurant? I do have to say, it wasn't my idea, unfortunately haha, but meow (now), I will make more dishes with leftovers. 
So, it all started with mushrooms, or how I like to call them shrooms. Sauté shrooms that were added to the left overs of the mushroom masala from the night before, cooked a Vegan burger patty separately and while it was all cooking, a French baguette donated to RYK, a yoga studio in town, by the French bakery next door, was being toasted in the oven, topped with vegan cheese. When everything was ready, the assembly of this deliciousness started! Bottom of the bread, vegan burger, sauté shroom concoction on top and top of bread! YES! AMAZEBALLZ!! =)

Yuminess! 

Vegan Breakfast for dinner!

August 5, 2016

So the first thing I gotta say, or ask, I should say... who in the world said that pancakes are breakfast food?! I eat pancakes whenever I want, breakfast, lunch or dinner; it just depends on my mood.
I had breakfast in my mind, given that I didn't have breakfast today (woke up a bit sick and had definitely missed breakfast time ). I knew I had some vegan pancake mix, some potatoes and onions lol so I made it work. I decided to grate a potato super fine and make a potato omelette. When I opened the fridge to grab all the ingredients I saw a Vegan taco meal I had bought to try it out (I normally don't get these kinds of things, but since it was non gmo and most ingredients were organic, I decided to give it a chance... and I am so glad I did!). So my dinner menu was potato omelette with sauté onions, vegan taco meat, vegan cheese, topped with avocado and blueberry pancakes, made with Almond Coconut milk. #MiamMiam totally delish!! And super easy to make! It made my belly very happy!

Dinner is served! =)

OOHHHHHH YEEESSSSS!!! 

Firefly's Vegan Lunch Menu Party

Thursday August 4, 2016

I remember reading the invitation on Facebook and being like WHHHAAAAATT?!?! Thank you Lord for this!!! Lol I loved Firefly so much before becoming a Vegan, somehow I stopped going, and to be honest I am not sure if they had some kind of vegan options before. However, I was more than ready to go try this deliciousness! 
The launch was from 6-8pm. After I was done teaching at 6.30pm, I drove there and I was surprised how packed it was!! I couldn't find a place to park, but lucky for me, my car is tiny and the helpful valet guy found a stop for Grigino, my mini's name! 
As I walked in, I realized, it wasn't as busy as I expected... i was looking at the wrong room lol then I see my friend Erica waving at me, and I headed towards the back room. Holy cow! SOOOO busy it was great! I hadn't seen so many vegans since I changed my diet, February of this year! It made me super excited! I connected with beautiful souls and saw a few friends there. It was great! 
Alright, let's talk about the menu! I wasn't able to try them all, since I got there an hour after it started, BUT let me tell you, about the ones I did try! 
- Tomato bread... who doesn't like bread? Haha it reminded me of Bruschetta, the tomatoes melted in my mouth and the bread was crunchy enough to add texture to every bite.
- Artichoke toast... so I saw it and the first thing I thought was... I'm gonna have some issues eating this thing lol however I didn't. I love me some artichoke AND bread! So best of both worlds! I did take a picture, however I didn't realized it was blurry, until I saw the pics before I started writing the blog ... wah wah wah haha
- Firefly Fries... YES PLEASE! ALL DAY LONG!!! They don't need a description, let's be honest!
- Lentil stuffed piquillo peppers ... such a beautiful plate! I had a hard time trying to eat it lol might've been because I didn't have a knife or perhaps I was just being a baby lol nonetheless... totally delish!
- Ok... my favorite part of ANY meal: #Dessert ! Apple and cherry empanadas! Let me just say, that I wish I had eaten more of these! Haha BOMB! in my opinion, enough said! (... call Ed! Lol if you live in Vegas, you know what I am talking about ) 
Greatest thing about it... free sangria and mojitos! Thank YOU Lord ! Haha
I had so much fun mingling, talking to friends, making new friends and most importantly, my heart and soul where so happy to see how some restaurants are catering for the vegan community as well! 

Sat Nam and Namaste!
