Every night before I lay to rest, I connect with the Universe to give thanks and praise for what I have, for the people within my life, my gifts, my health, nature and to all living things. I am thankful to be able to live the life I live and in return I try to help those whom wish to live a similar life.
Today I am blessed with the opportunity to share my thoughts, views and theory’s in a documentary related to spirituality and higher consciousness. Not many people have the opportunity to live a life filled with dreams driven by passion. Life for many is a constant struggle from one day to the next, from the day-to-day battles and environmental noise that engulf their world leaving them feeling lost, disconnected and furthest away from the line at which all good things happen – the line where all the stars align.
There was a time in my life not long ago when I was engulfed by the very same influences that many of you experience today. I searched for answers to all my questions for many years. I never abandoned my quest for happiness and freedom, for many years I asked myself:
“Why - Why is life the way it is - why do I have to do what I don’t want to do - why I do have to listen to what others feel they need to say - and why can I not live the life I feel I know exists?”
By age 31 I thought I had discovered the answer. By age 32 I began living my answer. By age 33 I knew I could not possibly have all the answers, and soon, as I turn 34 I know now I will never ever have all the answers. But, what I do know and all that will ever matter to me is that my life is only about me - How I feel, and what I do will determine how long I stay at the line at which all good things happen, the line where all the stars align.
What I learned at age 31 was that I was consumed by the illusion of life that was created by the world around me, mostly driven by fear. By age 32 I learned that it was okay for me to be me – all of me. And at age 33 I finally let it all go and became vulnerable so I can be who I knew I wanted to be, and that is ME.
Today, because I am ME, I get to live my dreams, driven by passion and no fear.
Happy Saturday!

congratulations! you learned to let go and be vulnerable at 33. for others it takes longer than that. still others, die without ever doing that. keep on enjoying who you are and enjoying life. enjoyed reading your post
Welcome Abby Villa! Thank you for your kind comment. I have a saying:
If you're in your 20's, write your goals you will be thankful later
If you're in your 30's, don't worry the answer is near
If you're in your 40's, you better slow down and learn what you do not want to know about yourself
And if you're in your 50's, don't worry almost everybody gets it by 65
You were 31? hahaha. I had thought otherwise. Wow. Then again, it feels like I've known you a lot longer than it's been. :-D
31.. But that was only at the beginning. March 25, 2007 is when it really happened. There is still a story that I have not shared about that special day. It almost like I have two birthday's.
Hi Bruno
Wonderful to hear your progression!
I think I'm on a similar time-line.
(I missed out on the goals in my 20s, but I'm making up for it now ;)

Its never too late Juliet - to be honest I didn't start until I was 31
Environmental noise....I liked that description...it is so apt. Who really ever gets to sit in total silence and contemplate. Some people would never even have "heard" total quiet...hmmmm
I am 48 and it is only recently I have been "brave" enough to discard some of the people around me that make me stress.
I look forward to reading your "2nd birthday" story!
Glad to hear you sense progress along new levels of awareness. every moment is meaningful just as it is. Human beings sometimes forget but can always learn to recall.
All too true!!! I'm in my 40's and didn't learn these things until my late 30's there's still a lot to learn in life but nice meeting interesting people along the way. On the subject of learning, where are the widgets etc.,? ;-)
Nola - we are constantly blasted by noise at every turn. Sight, smell, touch, taste and what you hear - anytime you expose any of your senses to the outside world, you are being inundated by environmental noise. If all your senses are being blasted constantly, when does Nola get a chance to figure things out for herself and not because of the influences? You have to be able to turn down the noise to think for yourself and with clarity. If you do you will be well to rid of unwanted people and things.
Hi Liara and thank you for your comment! Everything just is and not appreciating what it is would be resistance and resistance throw you off balance. No fun. :)
Better late than never. The more people that experience it, the more likely other people will want it. 30's, 40's, or even in your 50's, it doesn't matter when you get it, because it's the journey that makes it what it is. :)
And on that note - I'm still learning - I played with it yesterday but ran out of time. I will finish today. There are other API's that I think can do more right on your blog.
no fear, no fear, no fear...it would only be a dream...if only...
wow, love your last, multi-sentence paragraph..."consumed by the illusion of life", "okay for me to be me" and finally "let it all go and became vulnerable"...i've been on this path too...what a wonderful path to be on (: you go bruno!
I'm hear you jojo, smile and hugs :)
Thanks Mona! People often wonder what I really mean when I say, "I just don't care" :)
you mean exactly what you said (:
