I rushed home from work, in this late hour, to make sure I got home in enough time to take care of my responsibilities, love on my animals and go to bed. Morning is coming quickly, and unfortunately, I have to wake up early to take care of some things, and then be to work, only to close until late again. Where does the time go?
I saw my computer and said, "Aww, I so want to write", and have a million things to touch upon.....some great in depth subjects, that I just haven't given the right amount of attention to, or had enough time for......and tonight, of course, I am on fire with some great revelations, intuitive light bulbs going off, and just a mad desire to express the passions of subjects that people usually shun.
The forbidden!
Life is such an open book these days, and I am so excited for when I actually sit and write with no time frame, just sit and give it my all.
I almost want to scream I have so much energy, so much passion for very important subjects, to me anyway, but subjects that everyone would want to hear, or talk about, or comment on.
I get these pockets of time in my days, and I actually write things down so I don't forget. Little moments in my day that just shout out excellence, in the way that, hmmmm, maybe I am really on to something!
I think I have to trust my intuition more and follow up on my own individual path that screams "SOMETHING GOOD, SOMETHING GOOD!"
Where does the time go? I usually have so much energy, I could stay awake all night, and write, but I know what the morning will bring. Gabriela plus no sleep, equals, not a happy camper. It usually takes me all day to recover from no rest, and a very active mind.
God, I have so much to sculpt in my life.
Anyway, it is late and I haven't written about anything imparticular but wanted to say that "Oh, I will". Time is of the essence and I have some things to chat about, but in this moment, I have to play it safe, go to bed, get some rest and do some planning. ( I know someone who will like that statement ;)
Goodnight my sweet friends.
Keep your passions for life alive, amongst all the crap.
Don't let any situation get you down, or off track. and if it does, get yourself back on. That is what I am trying to do.
You fall, you get back up, kinda thing.
It is not as bad as we make it.
I love you and wish you all an easy ride on this crazy journey!

WHAT MIGHT BE NATURAL FOR ONE.......
Might not be for the next guy, whatever it may be.
I know for me, that my little way exudes something particular to people, and who knows what they may think about the whys and how's, but my point is, something that may be natural for you, or me, may come across as something else to another.
I think there are so many ways to interpret, or, misinterpret our own individual ways, thus leaving a ton of room for a misunderstanding, IF, you actually care how people perceive you, or what they think about you in general.
It is always interesting to me to see how people perceive me, and then, to know, how I feel inside, and when the two get in the same room, I have to say, it is a huge eye opener.
Inside, there is an incredible reality, and then when I hear opinions, and the observations of others, I have to just take it with a grain of salt, and think that people are entitled to their opinions and too, take a look from their perspective as to why they might be thinking those things, and take that into consideration as well, even if it isn't parallel to my being, or how I feel inside.
I have an incredible amount of passion for life, and that just pours over into my little vortex, my small little world filled with a variety of people, guessing, wondering, contemplating, and judging.
Such is the way of it right? I mean, that is what people do! They make their assumptions and then stamp it with their personal mark, as to, "This is the way it is".
Very interesting to me, but overall, very boring, to me.
To me, life is meant to be lived FULLY, and to be felt with every shred of your being, no matter what it is that you are doing. I mean, if you are doing anything, why not do it with a whole helluva lota gusto, and pour yourself into it? That, to me, is PASSION!
And when you feel that passion with every minute thing in life, it carries an essence with you, one that doesn't look so familiar in regular every day life, so automatically, people have you separated from the "norm", and into a category that isn't much different than anyone else, just that there is an acknowledgement of the sacredness in all things. Of course that is going to spill over into your life. You are basically making love to life, and man, does that show!!!
It ain't my shirt honey! (at least I hope not, nothing fancy goin on here). White chef coats and t-shirts aren't the IN THING.
You get what I am saying though, right?
I think people misinterpret natural passion and purity of heart for something other.
I understand it from both ends. It's tricky. After all, can you count on your hand how many people in your life have been that pure?
I can't, really at all!
I mean, I really have to think.
Maybe that is why I love to offer that so much, is because it IS RARE.
Everyone has an agenda!!!!!!!!
Even if you think they don't, THEY DO!
I don't want to get too esoteric, although I so could, just wanted to touch upon a little subject.
It is innate in humans, to want, to be ego driven, and to be selfish, for pretty good reason, for the most part. I get it!
I think it is hard to discern whether someone is being pure for that reason alone. People/humans will be what we were brought up to be, and I don't think there was enough well rounded education for us, as to see the beauty in being "selfish" and the beauty in purity.
I don't really like the word selfish. It seems so harsh, yet it has it's place.
We talk of purity, and when we were little we went to church. That was supposed to be pure. The reality of the craziness that actually happens in churches baffles me, and too, saddens me to a great degree.
How is it that we are surprised when we enter in relationships that we are skeptical, when all of the places that were supposed to be safe and secure, were tainted with complete and utter selfishness?
This is a book, for me, and yet, simple words, on a regular basis, can remind you, that there are people who are pure in heart........... (where I don't know), that might follow a way that is drenched in love. The kind of love that does not want, but wants to give.
That is what I am talking about.
And, that may look like a million different things to you. People have their own way of showing their passion for life, for giving, for learning, and for the willingness to give to you.
Don't taint what is real, pure and innocent!
Some people ARE for real! Some people actually care, from the inside out!
It is so interesting to me to see so many people on a daily basis, and how their reaction is to genuine care, love and attention, to the human soul.
It keeps me awake, fresh and fervent to keep active and parallel to my ever thriving heart.
Thank you to all of you who make me want to give and share that passion in every way I can, through my everyday life, activities and choices.
There are reasons for everything, and catalysts for every last thing that we experience!
I'm grateful beyond belief.
I am on the biggest learning curve there is right now.
Thank you to everyone who makes me love beyond opinions. they have no idea what they do for my ever evolving soul.
All my love,
Gabriela

UNVEILING THE MASK
My titles seems to be collaborating, so maybe there is a message somewhere, written in stone, or just a huge hint from the Universe that "Unveiling the Mask," or "Baring the Soul," is really like you letting all go, at least ideas, for one, and then, two, actually putting it all together, and into action, without thinking that it is wrong, or no one else is doing this, so why should I, kind of thing.
Look, truly, I think "You know it, when you know it", no matter what it is. The vibes are sent out, and either you are on that sailboat, or you are still sipping on Pina Coladas, cuz lately I see that it doesn't really take much to see the "fine written print at the bottom of the page".
Whether or not we can separate ourselves from our own junk is another story.
It is true! We can be smarter than smart, objective, and have all of our information neatly wrapped into one small package, but then when it comes down to actually applying those things, it truly is another story.
I'd rather be silent than spew out some things that I think are great, and then "fail" to execute them.
It seems that lately I have been unveiling mask after mask, and my face is feeling a bit too chapped to tell all of the gory details. Truly. I think I need to go get a facial, relax, and chill out a bit.
Don't get me wrong, I lovesssssssssssssss me some real talk, but sometimes it just gets a bit too real that I have to run for the nearest concession stand to look for a burger on a bun!
A coupala of fries, and watch a game or two.
There has got to be a balance with all of this, and to not feel like you want to run from anything.
I can't say that I WILL NEVER WORK ON CERTAIN THINGS?! How can I say that? It would go against the grain of my soul, yet, where is the reprieve?
Ahhh, so much to say............
I know from retrospect, I wouldn't want to change a thing, and I have had some pretty hairy times.........
It's wild what we choose, and then find out the REAL REASONS WHY we chose them to begin with.
I will never take back the amount of love that I "put in", and in retrospect, will always adore how it made me feel to be able to love like that, or give like that. There really is nothing other............ not like that anyway.
Loving, giving, unveiling the masks, peeling the onion, shedding your skin, you name the phrase........... there is something to be said about it all.
All I know, is that in this life, I know that I have loved to the enth degree and no money can ever take the place of that, nor can any lover, house, vacation or puppy put in front of you.
I am fortunate to say that I have loved so greatly in this life, and if anyone is the recipient of this grandeur, you should hold tight, for it is strong, and with a passion that will keep you wondering, as it keeps me wondering, and figuring, "Where the heck does all this come from anyway?"
I will say goodnight, and thank you to any and everyone who allows me to love from this place, and too, to learn from this place.
It may hurt sometimes, but when the wash is done, I always say, "I wouldnta had it any other way".
Thank you all for being such great conduits, for being my teachers, and for showing me love in all of the right and "wrong" places.
It molds me into something that I actually love when all is said and done!
Goodnight and sweet, sweet dreams!
Gabriela

WHEN THE SAME THINGS KEEP SHOWIN UP
........it can really stink!
I can get all spiritual about it and find the gems in it, and always, I do, really, I do. I truly take the time to investigate all areas, and to take responsibility for why things happen, but .........sometimes it's just nice to say that sometimes ........things..... just........... stink, and leave it at that!
Then, you vent that........ come back to real life, and realize, yes............yes........... it is there for a reason, and you really cannot hide. I mean, you can, but which pain is worse? Hiding and pretending things aren't happening, or aren't a particular pattern in your life? Or, facing it head on, and moving through whatever you need to move through? I know that sounds cozy and easy, but whatever our own individual lives bring, some may be much harder than others.
Being vulnerable and open isn't the easiest when your heart is out there.
It's like running naked amongst a crowd.
Everyone can see every inch of you, every flaw, every nuance, every, every, every thing, and you cannot hide!
No hiding! You are just out there, with no curtain to draw.
Sometimes it can feel so freeing, and other times it is so excruciating!
I know to love, is to express that and feel that with 100% of yourself, and man, isn't that amazing........a true phenomenon actually!
I think it is when we think our heart is in danger that we recoil, and retreat within, hoping to safeguard that sacredness, so it won't get damaged.
There are a million theories on love, and just what to do, and when, and how, but the truth is, everyone has their own make-up and how that gets transposed is completely an individual ride!
I really don't think there is ONE formula for ALL OF US.
I do think that people become catalysts for us to move into deeper realms within ourselves, to move a few cob webs and to sort out what does and does not belong.
It gets fuzzy at times, of course, aren't we still in human bodies with a full heart pumping with lava for blood?
The human heart runs too deep for any kind of solid understanding. It winds up taking a lofty ride into the sunset, with our own interpretation of what that feeling actually FEELS LIKE, and too, looks like.
LOVE, to me, is like art. So individual, so utterly sensual and thought provoking. No one piece is the same. I have many different pieces of art in my home, and they all give me the same essence in the way of attraction, but no two are the same, in looks, or depth. They all draw me for different reasons, and each piece allows me to dive into a place that is so real, so incredibly captivating, enticing, and magnetic. Completely joyful from the most real and innocent place.
You wonder then, should art be it? Should the innocence and depth of love be transformed into art and kept at that, and maybe human love be secondary?
I think, in all honesty, that love, with humans, has it's limits, but I won't negate the enormity of it. With music, or art of any form, in depth, just continues to find it's way to new and infinite levels of love and understanding of the human heart and race.
Look at the Michael Angelo's, the Walt Whitman's, the Beethoven's,the Saints, the Prophets of all kinds. They had loves, but made their passion for art, whether it be music, poetry, painting, or animals, or the welfare of others,to be first and foremost.
When situations in life present a red light, stop and see why the red light. There may be the obvious, and then there may be a heightened awareness of why, with flashes of an intuition that you keep stuffing back in your drawer, for fear you might just fly away, and actually love yourself THAT MUCH MORE!
The lights are turned up, now I just have to go clean my drawers out!

IF THERE IS ANYTHING...............
that bugs me, it is not being able to come full circle with things.
Some things are just out of your control, and well, you just have to take a back seat to the situation, and find a resolve within. Such has been my life in a nutshell. Doesn't mean I like it. God, it's been looming around for so long, I think it is time for it to find a new person to follow.
It's kind of like playing chess alone! No fun, very frustrating, and the strategy becomes more of the strategy of your own life, and you are back to the basics of Spirituality 101............what is in this for me? What do I need to see about myself, and how can I get a hold on my feelings, emotions, and take responsibility for what is occurring in my life, or, in my head, better yet?
A lot of times I have to take a back seat to check the situation out, and make sure I don't make any rash moves, out of fear, or insecurity. I genuinely try to make decisions based on objective thoughts, but hay, I'm human......... I might make a bad call here or there.
I am not one for rules, if you haven't gathered that thus far.
It depends. Rules come in quite handy.
But my personality likes to have the room and the freedom to make choices in a very flexible way. If that isn't there, it is like putting a straight jacket on me.
I don't generally gravitate toward rule laden situations.
I mean, yes, we have to wear seat belts, pay taxes, go to work, pay our bills, and all of that jazz, but there are other things that, if given the choice, I would give way more flexibility to. Some people would agree, and a lot would disagree for a multitude of different reasons.
I can see all standpoints, but for me, and for my make up, I need openness, flexibility and pretty alternative situations to suit my fancy.
None of this, "I can't", or I am not supposed to, stuff!
It just rubs me wrong like fingernails on a chalkboard.
You know, I don't expect people to be how I am, or think like I do, but I do want the choice to think freely, and to be able to make decisions based on my thoughts.
I don't judge anyone for their way or their way of thinking, even if I disagree. We may have a bit of a debate, but that could be fun, just to banter, but hay, you are who you are, and I am who I am............ no one better than the other, right?
Anyway, I want to love you, and respect you from the highest place there is, even if we are different, or have certain things we "need" to adhere to.
It may make us make decisions that we don't want to make, to stay true to ourselves, but it doesn't mean we don't care, or love you, just that we are not on the same page, no matter how it looks.
Stay true to who you are and what your beliefs are, and if you bump up against something that doesn't quite meet up to your "standard" than go to plan B.
Again, this is another blog that I could write in volumes.
I hope this doesn't seem too esoteric.
Sometimes I write and it is very specific to me, but maybe not to you.
Thanks for always reading, listening, and responding.
I'm ever so grateful!
Happy New Year Everyone.
I love you!
Gabriela

REVISITING YOUR PAST
It is pretty amazing, probably a huge phenomenon, that when we actually take a look back into our past, who was in it, and what we were doing at that time, that you actually see the same person as you are now, give or take a few odd moments, or goofy pictures that don't really depict the "YOU" that you seem to relate to now.
I have been revisiting the past, with high school friends, sharing photo's, and I know for me, at that time, it was pretty important, or at least what was happening in my life at the time.
I recently, thanks to Facebook, have re acquainted myself with friends that were pretty damn dear, and close as close could be.
Isn't that funny? You see how life goes! People who are huge in your life, all of a sudden fade into the background of your life, but never, really, NEVER, DO YOU FORGET THEM!
I have moved, moved on, moved state to state, consciousness to consciousness, decade to decade, and still, those same people wrap themselves into my head, as to certain marks, in my evolution, and they are great people, all of whom make significant differences in my life, for different reasons or another.
I recently talked to my "posse" back home, via Face book and WOW, is all I have to say. So many great, incredible individuals, who I hung out with on a regular basis, dated, partied with, and more, more, more............... incredible people that marked my life in a way, that I will truly NEVER, EVER, FORGET. We, now, are getting reacquainted and catching up. Some have kids, some are still with each other from Prom and high school, some divorced, some still the same little shits that they were in school.
I AM LOVING IT!
I don't forget these people, as these people were the ones that made my childhood.....good, bad, or indifferent. They were there, and made a mark on my life!
Now, these people don't just make a mark......they stain the shit out of your clothes, your picture in life.............I LOVE THESE PEOPLE.
In reconnecting, we have laughed our butts off, shared pictures and such, but I haven't had the luxury of connecting in true life, in person, only via Face book.
I have seen pictures of the reunions and it has brought such tears to my eyes.
They are "there", and I am "here".
I recently took out my photo albums, took pictures from my IPhone, of pictures from our past, and posted them to Face book, for old time sake.
It is so amazing, just looking at it from a TIME standpoint.
It has been over 20 years, yet we all have said it was just like yesterday. I felt like an old soul, for sure.
If 20 years can go by that quickly, than so can the rest of your life!
I am humbled by old loves, old friends that cracked me up, made me think, made me cry, and made my laugh hysterically.
I think of a very select few, and I think they know who they are.
You made my life come alive at certain moments in my life. As always, I will always tell you how you changed my life, when, why and how it affects me daily. Those of you who know me, know that! If you are in my life, you will know, for sure, how you fit in, how it changes me, or not changes me, and pretty much, either way, you will be appreciated.
Call me corny........ that is the way I do things.
Whether I visit my past, or my present, YOU ARE CHANGING ME!
My years have been chock full of memories, events, adventures, passionate moments, crazy moments, chilling, enlightening, and so, so unforgettable .....moments.......no matter what they are labeled as.
I have NO REGRETS IN THIS LIFE.
As much as my "events", or situations, have affected me, I still, would have no qualms about keeping them as my Profile of life. They have been so extremely eclectic, and eccentric that, there really could be no wrong in it all.
Don't try to altar your past to make you feel better today. Even if it seems that your past has a different vibe as to where you are now, you can't, YOU JUST CAN'T, negate that it WAS THERE and that it has taught you something about yourself that will be remembered on your bed side, some where down the line.
You can run, but you cannot hide!
Stay aware of who you are, why, and how. We pretty much don't change, and if we do, we name it and call it out loud, and make changes, where changes are necessary.
This is much longer of a blog ................ it needs to be expounded upon.
Catch the glimpse. It's pretty revealing.
Huge respect and love for the ones who actually set themselves aside and GO FOR IT!
ALL MY LOVE
Gabriela
