love – Let's Be Real Authentic with Janitza

Why are you still here?

Never in my life will I forget this important question. A question that even if you see it like that, and follow your path, you are not going to give it the meaning or the power that it has so much unless you stop, think and analyze it. He asked me that question a little over a year ago, Janitza, why are you still here? I stood up, looked him in the face and answered the question. I gave him a lot of reasons why I was still there. Now, if I tell you, I did not follow my course. I sat in silence and began to answer the question in detail to myself. What he doesn’t know is that day he changed my life. I know he didn’t want to lose me. I know that he knew that I had much more potential than to be enduring things that really did not suit me to endure. From that day on I put my pants on well and said to myself, I deserve more. When it was time to leave he told me, Janitza I envy you, I would like to have my pants on well so that I can do the things you do. Take the risks that you take. And my answer was, “you can do it too”. “The only difference between us is that you don’t want what you dream as much as I want what I dream.” “Dare and you will see.”
The man left me with his mouth open. He texted me at 12:30 am at midnight the other day to ask me for an opinion on something about his business and I gave it to him. He constantly asks me for my opinions. Out of nowhere he texts me with crazy things about him, rather ideas. We are still very good friends. I admire him a lot for other things that I don’t have the pants to do and he thinks I have them on for everything. Haha! I found out that he is now working on his third business. What joy it gave me! I’m crazy to congratulate him in person and let him know that now the one who envies him is me. Haha. Now he’s the one with his pants on. I imagine that his time came like mine came a year ago. Many times I asked him why are you still here? But the question didn’t have the same effect on him as when he asked it to me.
Now I ask you: Fill in your blanks with this question; Why are you still here? Either in an unloved relationship. In an unwanted career, in a toxic friendship, in a place you don’t want to live, in an economic situation that you want to get out of. Ask that question. Meditate and act. And you will see that in a year you will be wondering why I did not ask myself that question before.

Good day.

My Little Girl

This little girl has taught me in two years what college did not teach me in four. I feel like it has been two years of lots of learning, lots of love and lots of understanding. I never thought a little person can show you to pay attention right now to what is happening because you have been given the opportunity to change, to do something different than how you typically do it.

This little girl can show you what you’re passionate about, where your boundaries are and what you believe need to change about the world.

A little girl like Keyani can help you understand the person you do not want to be and help you understand that you have the opportunity to forgive yourself in order to move on. There is so much to learn from a little person like her. Just be present 100% every single time you have the opportunity to be with your children, your loved ones, whomever it is you are giving your time to and if you are not able to do so, do not compromise.

There is always a lesson. There is always an opportunity, there is always HOPE, but most of all there is always LOVE.

God Bless,

Janitza

A Sunday Morning 🌄

This Sunday morning Keyani and I went to Starbucks for a light breakfast and then we went for a walk.

We enjoyed mother nature and had a lot of fun going to a different place we have never been at the JMU Arboretum.

We played with rocks, sticks, flowers  and leaves. Every new step ‍♂️ of the way I kept sharing with her positive affirmations. If she was trying to walk by rocks I would make sure she knew she could do it without holding my hands and that if she fell it was ok to get back up. It was funny to hear her repeat my words. I know she is listening.

She would say hello to people that would walk by her, she would say “have a good day”. “Good morning”. It was just great to hear her trying to interact with adults since she has been spending most of her time just with us and no much contact with other kids. She is learning a lot. I’m so proud of her.

What things do you share with your kids to show positivism?

God Bless

Ese Angel

Refiere una Antigua leyenda que un nino proximo a nacer, le dijo a Dios.

Me vas a enviar manana a la tierra, pero Como vivire alla? siendo tan pequeno y tan debil? Entre los muchos angeles escogi a uno que te espera contesto Dios.

Pero aqui en el cielo no hago mas que cantar y sonreir y eso basta para mi felicidad, poder hacerlo alla?

Ese angel te hablara y te ensenaras las palabras mas dulces y mas tiernas que escuchan los humanos.

Que hare cuando quiera hablar contigo? Ese angel juntara tus pequenas manos y te ensenara a orar.

He oido que en la tierra hay hombres malos, quien me defendera? Ese angel te defendera aunque le cueste la vida..

Pero estare siempre triste por que no te vere mas Senor.

Ese angel te hablara de mi y te mostrara el camino para volver a mi presencia. Le dijo Dios. En ese instante, una paz inmensa reinaba en el cielo . No se oian voces terrestres. El nino decia suavemente:

Dime su nombre Senor.

Ese Angel se llama Mama!
