This morning, 4 or 5 a.m., I was watching tv (don´t even remember the show) and felt this urge to grab my computer, turn it on and check out my Blog and my facebook account.

Believe what you can do. I just started in Believing in my self

I found one comment in my blog and one mail to my inbox in my facebook. The first message took me to another level of conscience.

The first message was send to El “Brainstorm” Nos Lleva Lejos article  comment box, by Sylvia Smith, clearly a woman that makes a great impact with her thinking and who is very cleaver with her words.

She starts with a sweet expresive line about the way I wrote the article. There, she got my attention from hello (blink).

She told me a story about her athlete son. A young determined man searching words to explain to his mom what he feels when he runs. What happens in his body when he searches his brain to explain him self all those feelings that are happening on his insides that give him the energy and determination to take his body to the edge and run his feet out. I just found it too inspiring.

But more than that, what really got me thinking about my life and the bump in the road I ran into, was a phrase she wrote in a way that is almost an Epiphany:  ”Also, keep in mind that during crisis there are hidden opportunites… look for them, they are occurring”.

Those letters constructed in such a reveling phrase gave me a new reason to keep on fighting. I guess Im not that determined in failure after all. I aswered the comment and went to sleep. My mind was in blank, finally. I was able to sleep through those five hours I needed to recharge.

I´ve learned that I need to smile no matter what

I got up at 10 a.m. made a great breakfast, took a shower with cold water, changed the sheets in my bed (which I love, it is so comfortable and is always scented) and put on comfortable clothes and went out.

I walked, took the sun inside my body. I started walking again. I enjoy walking along the streets of Bogota. This is a city that gets people in love with it at first sight.   I felt renewed.

Bought some things I needed, groceries, newspapers, flowers, some coffee grains for my mill grinder, organic sugar, apples and while I was walking I saw this petshop. I was going to walk by it but there was this little kitten that got my attention.

After asking how much was him, the cares that I will have to give him and got all the information I need about this little creature, I went home, but, on my way out the store, he kept on jumping inside his little cute glassed crib. We conected. I have to come back and get him. I think we are going to be good friends. After all, I don´t need to be totally alone in my apartment and he doesn´t have to be in that glass box much longer. ¿What will be his name?… there is this Spanish slang word “Parce” which in English means DUDE that I think suits him perfectly. Yea, I like it, Parce it is.

I said goodbye and headed home. There was a smile in my face. There´s still a smile in my face. I know now that everything is going to be just fine. We humans have that particular strenght inside that makes us struggle even harder when the river gets stronger. I got home, made some phone calls and now I have a bunch of people listening to what I have in mind for my future. They are paying attention, which means, they find it interesting.

Yep, the hidden oportunities are showing them selves to me… they are occuring. Thank you Sylvia. I think we have to meet, some day.
