Happiness

Hello there!
Pretend for a minute you have a big house, a nice car, a good source of income, the latest trends, a fitness instructor, good medical insurance... But you are not happy. Shouldn't you be?

What is happiness?
I find that the more I live on this earth, the more I find out happiness is extremely elusive. When I was little, I heard someone say happiness comes in drops and the Creator gives you a dropper to last you your whole life.

At that moment, I did not understand what I was being told. "Dropper?" I thought... What in the h...?
Now that I am older and have seen and experienced a little in this world, I am beginning to understand it.


My goal in my 20s was to make sure I could provide for my son the way I was not provided for. This meant having 2 jobs, going to school and not seeing him a whole lot. Now that I have resigned my Full-Time position, I feel free. Granted, I still need the full-time income but I can mix and match different skills and different projects to make sure I can continue providing the basic necessities.

I have realized the Disney trip we take every year is not worth me working all year long and not spending time with my child. I have realized that they don't really care about the material things if they cannot spend time with you. I vowed to never be the parent that was never around and I feel as if I have failed, until now.

My happiness is:

• My son's smile. Is the "aha!" moment when I help him with his homework and he understands it
• When he asks me to come work at his school because I explain things better than his teacher
• When he brings his classmates over for me to go over the homework with them
• When he brags to his friends about my cooking
• When he knows I will be there for his Karate competitions
• When I meet with his music teacher
• When I go for a walk with him
• When I was trying to teach him how to ride a bicycle

I was missing out on all those things with my son, if not even more. I thought I was working towards happiness but I was actually working against it.

My son is about to be 10 years old: I still have some time. Think for a minute: what is happiness to you? Is happiness taking you away from your family and children?
I'd much rather spend evenings cuddling up to my son watching a movie of his choice than to be working until 1:00 am on school nights just to make sure that Disney trip happens next year.
Think, reflect, analyze, reinvent your schedule. And may you always be happy!

Signals from Above

Hello there!

So recently I got a teaching job and learned really quick that teaching High School is not for me. At least not teaching High School Spanish. I know the material very well and I was learning how to effectively deliver it but I did not have the administration support to be successful.

As heart broken as I am for this, I have to remember that things happen for a reason. While I resigned my teaching job, I am feeling the pull of dedicating myself more to my craft and readings.
I almost feel if I would have stayed at the High School, my readings and my craft would have suffered greatly.

Please follow me on twitter, instagram, pinterest and facebook for updates.

Thank you for reading and buenas noches,

Blood Moon?

Hello everyone!

If you were anywhere on planet Eart on April 4th, 2015, you may have noticed the Moon looking reddish.
This is a phenomenon online communities have been calling Blood Moon since about 2010 and it has to do with a Lunar Eclipse. 

 A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly behind the Earth into its umbra (shadow). This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, a lunar eclipse can only take place the night of a full moon.

Now, something I found interesting was Tetrads of four sequential lunar eclipses with no intervening partial lunar eclipses occurs 6 other times in this century... But this is the only time it occurs on the Jewish holy days of Passover and Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot)... The last time that four blood red moons occurred together was between 1967-1968... The time that the tetrad occurred before this was between 1949-1950...

Since 1 AD, this tetrad has occurred on these holy days only 7 times!!!... In 2014-2015, it will be the 8th time. It won't occur again for another 500 years...

Now, the next Blood Moon will be Sept. 28th, 2015. Please join my Facebook Event and let's talk about it as it is happening.

Waning Moon

Hello everyone!

Working according to the phases of the moon can help you bring order to your magic. The waning is when the Moon is "shrinking" or "fading" from full to new Moon. This is a good time to work with waning, repelling, reversing, banishing and getting rid of anything you do not like in your life.

Some workers seem to think some spells can only be done at a certain time, day and phase of the Moon. I like to work a little different: after all, you can make spiritual work as complicated as you want it. You can stress yourself out with getting everything perfect down to the minute you're supposed to start your work, and then your dog barks, the baby cries, your neighbor rings the door bell, your dinner decides to come back and take revenge on you... We're the ones invoking the magic and after all, we are human.

 Now, because I have learned the hard way and have encountered many of the obstacles previously mentioned, I like working a little different. Let's say I want to work on my money situation but the moon is waning. Well, instead of working to gain money, I will work on getting rid of poverty.  Same goes for love and protection.

Happy waning Moon working!

Death Chases All of Us

Hello everyone!

My mother always told me that we're all death's children. I never understood it until I started analyzing what she meant by it. She meant that we start aging and therefore dying little by little from the very minute we're born. She also told me that no one is ever spared and we should all make of life the very best of it.

Yesterday I was sitting at the market talking to my boss and he shared some sad news with me. The beautiful little girl whom I had blogged about took her life 2 weeks ago. After a tragic series of events took place, she ended up taking her own life.
My jaw hit the floor when my boss told me, I mean... I haven't exactly dealt with too many people dying in my lifetime, and I had really hoped to see her again.

I couldn't stop thinking about how if I had been closer to her, I could've somehow stopped it... Yes, my codependent nature kicked in and I have not been able to sleep all night. I mean, she was 17, gorgeous, troubled by her Bipolar Disorder... But full of life and in need of guidance.

I can't stop thinking I could have cheered her on and encouraged her to smile, or perhaps just have a dorky conversation with her... I believe I have been blessed (or cursed sometimes) with the ability of making people laugh. I could have told her all about my struggles, my battle with codependency, and to just be thankful that the sun shines down up on her beautiful face daily... I too, have toyed with the idea of taking my life and I believe everyone at some point does too. The difference though, is that I have someone to live for: my little boy. I think when people don't feel like they have anything to live for, then they don't feel any connection with life itself and want to walk away from it.

Nevertheless, not only do I feel the remorse of not having known her better and maybe being there for her, but I'm also angry at life... Some people go through life hurting others: cheating, stealing, drugging and are alive and kicking!... On the other hand, we have this precious angel, whose life was so complicated and mind was so troubled by her very own condition, that she couldn't go on any longer and decided to put an end to it all.

I can't believe and do not wish to imagine what it would be like to finding your child, your own flesh and blood, no longer living.

May all the angels, archangels, and all the spirits of light protect this gorgeous being and give her the healing and strength she so longed for while living.

Above all, may God bless you my child. You touched many lives, including mine. I will never forget the conversation we had that day and out embrace before you walked out of the shop.
"Keep your chin up, baby girl... There is always something awesome waiting for you to find it."

Thanks for reading & buenas noches,

-Wen
