My time is of the essence.
My little snippets mean, let's start crammin in information little by little so at least I can say I am staying aware, and giving you information, little by little, that will keep you abreast on what is happening in my world.
The "little snippets" mean a lot to me, even if it seems small. At least I can can keep you updated on what is new, what is happening, and how it all fits in, into the greater scheme of things.
There is so much that is happening, on many different levels, so I will just spoon feed you for now, and let you know that there are many beautiful things that are about to happen, so stay aware of me,what is happening, and you will find yourself immersed in a new little "life" that will transport you to another time and space.
Not extremely esoteric, mind you. Just consciously aware, awake and revitalizing to the human spirit.
Come along and hold my hand.
Until next time.....
I love you!

WHERE TO BEGIN?
Wow, so it has been way too long and so, so much information to relay in one blog.
I feel like I haven't written my blog in forever, and comparatively speaking, I just haven't.
It seems, again, that my days pass me by, the hours slip through the cracks, and I pan back on when my mother was my age now, and remember her saying, "Honey, it passes by so quickly". Before I knew it, you grew from a young girl into a beautiful woman". She always did say how the time will go by quickly, which is why I really try to embrace the importance of my life here, what that all entails, and try to make it exactly the way I would like for it to be.
Life throws us obstacles of all sorts, but I am the kind of person that thinks there is nothing, NOTHING that we cannot overcome, with a little bit of faith and perseverance.
I am a huge believer in taking quiet time, and lots of it, to allow ourselves to get reacquainted with ourselves, again and again and again.
We are ever changing, moment to moment, wanting different things, changing our desires, our plots and plans for what we think our futures are, or even our next moments.
I think a good plan is good, but also, just for me, I think that being able to adopt a kind of fluidity in today's world is wise!
Why hold on to an idea, when there are so many miracles that come our way, so many circumstances that allow us to move in a direction that is generally what we want anyway, just maybe looks a bit different and is not what was mapped out on our canvas.
I always want to leave room for that fluidity.
Actually, it is the thing that works the best for me, and generally most people poo poo it because it is not a mainstream way of thinking.
I have always lived by my own rules. And really, they aren't really rules, just what has felt right, and have taken tons of risks to stay true to the calling that speaks to me so loudly in all of my moments.
Sometimes it even baffles me........
The information that is "handed" to me is perplexing to my mind, yet the feeling of "this is right" always takes precedence and I trust in a higher power that I believe has more knowledge than this tiny little brain. It's a highly "risky" way of thinking to most, but sheer brilliance to me.
I believe in that, and therefore try to balance the "calling" with my regular every day life that calls for routine, responsibility, and a vision of what it sees for not only itself, but for the whole. Humanity. The reason I am here and what I can be doing in simple ways to do, not only my part, but to grab a hold of what comes naturally to me and expound on IT, in ways that will raise the consciousness of our society, the people, no one better or worse, but people like you and me who could use a lesson or two on staying more true to ourselves, whether it be not acting out on someone in a robotic way, and taking responsibility for our actions, or walking down the road and picking up the glass bottle on the ground and pretending that you don't see it. Rather, pick it up, take it to your car and throw it away when you get home, ya know? Simple stuff like that.
I don't know.
If I were to look at life from the whole, I would totally get overwhelmed and depressed at how could someone like me make a difference, but when I look at my moments, my tiny little moments in my day, I ask myself everyday.......how can I make a difference???
Actually it isn't even a question anymore. I just move in that way. I like to make people smile. I like to just be there, with people, and even though observing them is a whole subject in and of itself, I sit back and giggle at the absurdity of personalities, how they operate and how, too, I can have more compassion for people, AND myself, who have flaws, scrapes and scabs that are deep seeded.
I think no matter where we all are, we think we are doing good, or doing the "right" thing. And that, to me, is the beauty of individuality.
We are all on our own individual treks.
I always want to remain innocent, yet wise.
If I am not experiencing that innocence throughout my day, I feel a sort of deadness.
I don't compare myself to anyone.
I have my own "rules of thumb" for a good life.
It may not be the same as Sally or Joe's, but I do have to say that I feel genuinely good when I think of my vision, or my thoughts for people and life, and the whole.
I don't know what I have done, or where I have been in the past that brings me to this sacred place, and really, I don't question it, but I do know that I am here for a reason, and it IS SPECIFIC!
Beyond that? I cannot tell you!
All I have is this precious moment, here on a Friday night.
I grilled a steak. I layed on my deck talking to one of my dogs, rubbing his belly, staring at the stars that are so darn bright tonight........
I giggled.
I thought about the absurdity of it all.......you know, this life, and all of it's charades............ and it faded into the back round.
I closed my eyes and connected to the source that fills me. Call it what you want!
I don't have to name it. Really, I don't!
It feels like a shame at times, for people who ask "How do you get there"?
I DO have a "formula" of sorts, that works for me. That is all I can say.
Everyone will do as they will and how they see fit for their lives.
I will always be here as a conduit, or some kinda cheerleader who will root for you to come "HOME".
Thank you so much for being a part of my life.
I am ever so grateful!
Love,
Gabriela

I AM HERE....
as a conduit.
Please don't make me anything other.
I smile and give you joy because I can,
and because
it just
IS.
Please don't mold me
into something
that you want
me
to be.
I am merely
a conduit
of love.
Not to sound
esoteric
but to bring
things
to
a
reality.
I bring joy
because
I feel
joy.
I bring happiness
because
I feel
happiness.
It is that simple.
It is nothing
other.
No rhyme or
reason.
Simply
a love
and joy
for life
and for
people.
Being
genuine
is
a
passion.
If that is
my
worst
"fault"
imprison me!

SIMPLICITY
I am genuinly happy.
I love waking up these days... ecstatic to go to work.
I LOVE what I do.
My days are conducive and peaceful.
When I get ino work classical music awaits me. Hello?
I have a beautiful puppy that awaits me, so sincere and loving.
I make and eat extremely conscious food. I share that with others. They are affected.
I feed and get to spend time with the most amazing animals. There is an unspoken language that is happening that is beyond comprehension.
The cycle of life is before me.
I am in it.
I am consciously deciding to live very specifically, and it does not have to be to anyone else's liking.
It is mine.
Colorful in it's way.
Risky.
Yet True!
There is a higher plan.
No one needs to know,
not even me.
It is happening all on it's own.
I'm just along for the ride.
Thank you for this amazing opportunity to participate in a life that only comes once 'roun!
I bow with great gratitude!

THERE IS NO PLACE TO GO, NO PLACE TO BE
If we are immersed in the NOW, in the present moment, there would be no place to go, or no place to be. It would just simply BE!
Our days are so revealing, so to make some kind of blanket statement about our "future" is almost ludicrous!
It doesn't feel good to try to stay in the present moment because it X's out all of the variables, but in all honesty, the present moment brings to light the true reality of what is happening out there, or here, however you want to look at it.
It actually can give you a sort of relief, or reprieve from having to "do and go, and be" in the ways that we think we "should" or "shouldn't".
People get literally freaked out when you say you don't actually HAVE TO, have a plan, or visualize some "place to be".
I say go on ahead! Plan what you think you want. Just don't be attached to it!
Sometimes life hands you a better hand of cards than you were actually dealt.
By all means, look at the hand that you were dealt, but look to see what slips in through the back door.
I say look at all options but don't be stuck on ONE.
Be open to the option that isn't on your "chalkboard".
It generally is the one that will take you where you need to go.
I feel so humbled tonight.
My life is glorious, for lack of some extravagant word.
I am happy to be of service to people, to make some people smile, and to make "nothing" out of what seems to be "something" in my everyday life.
I don't want anything but to be immersed in godliness, in true purity and goodness.
However that shows up, I will follow.
Anything else will be a bore, and I will tire quickly.
Stay awake.
I am open!
I am utterly grateful!
Thank you!

IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO LONG....
......and this I must learn.
I have so very little time away from work and my responsabilites, that when I think of what that time "should" consist of, it never seems to be wanting to talk on the phone, engaging in any kind of conversation, or engaging, period.
But, life has it that we have to in one way or the other.
I am one that likes to balance the noise with the calm.
Thankfully, these days, my work life is extremely conducive, and therefore, the aftermath of that can actually be spent talking or engaging to some degree.
My last job never allowed that, and, I did it anyway. What did it do? It depleted me completely, leaving me dry and empty.
It left me with no hours to be alone, really, or any time to merge with the inner, to be able to express outwardly, wether it be my blog, or to a lover, the things that were important, or necessary to get off my chest, or just to share regular ol' life with, you know, silly stuff, passionate stuff, just daily life unfolding, and being able to objectify it, write the bare bones down, and call it a night.
I have a new job that I absolutely adore.
I begin my day with feeding doves, and goats, and chickens. I walk into a place that is quiet. I hear classical music walking in. I see and feel nature. It is conducive. Everywhere I look there is a shred of consciousness that reeks of growth, of learning, of a simple heart that has and is setting out to make a change for the betterment of human kind.
This......... I LOVE!
The days are short, for now, and maybe forever, but my time is always going to be spent contemplating life, and love and how to better ourselves, or the planet or our little environment to where it is of complete service, in every way.
People need to be payed attention to, without any conditions.
It is so lovely to be able to BE with people with nothing, NOTHING TO WANT OR NEED.
Just to be with them. To listen. To not have any kind of agenda, and to listen to them. Let them talk about their kids, their lives, their every, every, every, thing, and not have one judgement.
How beautiful to just.....................LISTEN........ with a very open heart.
I have to say that leaving my previous job has felt somewhat like a mother leaving a large nest.
To look back would only hinder the growth and not support it.
The babies must fly.
Well, I started out saying that it doesn't always have to be so long when we don't really have the time, but want to do "it" anyway.
Make that the phone or the text or the email, we do it anyway.
The point is... I want to write. I want to write all night long until I fall asleep at my computer, drained from thought, but know, the next morning, that I wrote until I just couldn't anymore.
This.....is passion.
Usually within a passion of any type of art, we bypass the what if's, the should's, the woulda coulda's, and all of that.
I hate a clock. I don't like to clock watch.
When you are passionate about something you "should" never watch a clock, but unfortunately, life comes into play and we have to gauge things, like sleep and what not............. IT'S CRAZY!
Sometimes I get crazy with.......who freakin' cares............. I will only live this life once.......or...........Holy Cripe........... I am no good with less than 8 or 7 hours of sleep.
I am opting for the balance tonight.
I want to write till the goats come home, but have 4 dogs and an ailing cat to tend to.........dishes piling up, and a consciousness that awaits me at my bed side, to sit, even for just a few moments, to read something, or feel something that will support my soul and it's intention in this life.
Even if it is for a moment before these eyes close, I will have known that I did my best, at the end of the day, to come full cirlcle, with my knowing, my growth, and too, my shortcomings. To bring it all together, with no judegements, or guilts, or any other thing that would seem less than the utter Truth.
I am here. Just being me, sharing my love, my Truth, and vulnerabilities in life, that set me asail, into a fine, fine existence that keeps it all real for me. Keeps me in line with a "god" that I have fallen deeply in love with.
A "God" that continuously calls me back to a simple and fine existence, that equals only love, only service to people, to human kind that needs a tender touch, or a tender heart to eleviate some sort of pain that is happening.
This could be with a brother, or sister, or colleague, or............ some random Third World Country person that has stolen your heart......who knows!
It is all ONE IN THE SAME!
NONE OF US ARE DIFFERENT!
WE ARE ALL
ONE
IN
THE
SAME!
