Positive energy

OMG... yesterday was a really lazy day, just being at home, but I have to admit that this is kind of relaxing in between. At least I did some exercise in the early afternoon.
 Well today, as usually every Monday, I´m full of positive energy as the beginning of a beautiful week.
Also, today there arrived a new student from London, so that we are now five host-students. But I guess he just going to stay with us for one or two weeks. Anyway, it´s always nice to meet new people.

Someone gave me a great book "Conversations with God" by Neale Donald Walsch. I just started reading it and it caught my attention from the very first page on.
The book is about a journey and it´s reminding me about my own one that I´ve started in Nicaragua. Letting my family behind, but I´ve found at the other side of the world an other family.

Keep on working

Well, after a very nice company from my friends (Alberto and Walter) from my motherland Nicaragua. I feel ready to keep on going for my dreams, but this time reloaded! And what a better started of the day than to go to clear my  mind and stress out myself with exercise. Like someone once said: healthy mind in healthy body...later on I putted myself into the kitchen and started cooking a well known traditional food from Nicaragua: Sopa de Res (beef soup). Which my family here liked a lot, even the little chihuahua...we all sank our teeth into the bones and flesh of the soup and just for fractions of seconds I got a flashback from my grandma house!

 Lately, I´ve experienced good and bad things...even changes of moods. Some days are really terrible , although with a lot of help I feel that I can control them more. Feelings, temper, and even anger are really hard to manage. Indeed, along the way of this path - called life - I will find/meet many people. Some of them are good, others aren't good for the development of my personality. Some of them will let marks on my life and stay, some on the other hand won't, but I will be able to learn from all of those people. I just have to see the good what they have to offer, and - the most important - never stop to believe in myself.

I believe that everything happens for a reason and everything has its purpose and everyday I feel grateful for what I have and for what I don´t and it feels like that everyday I am a bit closer to what I´m fighting for. Whether the answer is Yes or No, it doesn't matter, cause I´ve  learned a valuable lesson and the knowing that I have the courage to do it alone is priceless. Of course a lot of people had helped me and some of them are still doing it. Thanks God for that!!!

On Sunday 17th, I have a 60 minutes interview casting with an international agency and with a lot of luck and commitment they probably  say YES... but anyway if it will be a NO... I won't stop trying. As the NO from today could be the YES from tomorrow!
And like someone once told me in a workshop: YOU LATINOS ARE STUBBORN... Yes, we are! And I myself specially with something that I feel so much passion for.
Not everything has been pink colored or like a rainbow in the past, but somehow I´m doing fine. I was hit but not defeated, I have fallen but I didn't surrender.
