Happy New Year!

The best of 2011? No doubt about it: my nephew Pablo :)

Stuffy nose...

Don't worry, I'm feeling OK and waiting for the New Year to come :)

A big hug,

In a corner of my new Studio... :)

More coming soon...

New look :)

Here I am this morning still in the hairdresser's :)

Vacation time is over…

Vacation time is over… well, officially, because I won't be on duty at work till next Thursday, November 3rd hehehe

I was going to write an elaborated post, explaining a few things, but I think I’ll go directly to the point, just like a telegram :)

- Almost 4 months ago, my life changed, and I feel so good now. I’ve recovered the calm I was missing so much. But I know I must be alert…

- My trip to the USA, to visit a great friend of mine and her family, was a success, oh yeah!: introspection, group therapy and tons of shopping :)

- I begin a new stage of my life totally renewed: batteries charged, new wardrobe, freshly painted in white apartment (when the painters come...) and new Studio,

because I’ve moved my scraproom into the master bedroom, and it’s going to be My Studio to scrap or make cards, to either paint or do a mess with gesso if I feel like it, to learn how to use my sewing machine, it’ll be my dressing room too, and to study…

- Yes, you’ve read “to study”. I’m back to the university!

I’ve registered in the National University of Distance Learning, UNED, to start a Degree in English Studies. I’ve been thinking about it for a few years, and I’ve felt right now is “the moment”.

I’ve never studied/liked subjects like History or Literature, so I face this challenge a little bit expectant but excited too.

- I’ve also joined a gym to burn some energy.

I think I’m done. Yes, I know I said “just like a telegram”, but it was impossible for me to summarize it in fewer words.

As for my job, we’re still “in danger”, but as long as the days and months continue going by…

If you’ve read through here, THANKS, and, if you feel like it, I’d appreciate your opinion as well as your encouragement, which is always good to hear, well, to read

A big hug and read you soon,

P.S. I forgot to mention my visit to the hairdressers' sometime during this week...
coming soon...

Halloween 2011

On vacation :)

I won't be on the beach, but I'm on vacation :)

I'll be back as soon as my batteries are charged and I've had tons of fun :)

Take care,

:)

Mistakes :)

A few words for scrappers...

A fellow scrapper has shared THIS article in a board, and, as a scrapper myself, I wanted to shared the lasts lines with you:

But time won’t stop. It won’t even slow down. That’s why we’ll pay attention and take pictures. So we’ll never forget the day. So that even when it’s passed, it will remain.- Beverly Beckham

Impossible is Nothing.

Have a great week!!

This is me :)

Have a great weekend!

To live :)

Feeling so much better :)

Just wanted to tell you all that I'm feeling so much better :)

I've enjoyed a great Summer with my family, and I've been doing great at work.

I'm almost done with the major reorganization of my apartment, and I hope I finish with my new scraproom sometime during next week :)


Thanks for reading and being out there :)

Be Positive!

No make up. No Photoshop.

Just a month ago, around this same time, my life turned around 360º.
Just a month ago, I embarked myself on a path [again] that is leading me to find the balance I had lost...
Just a month ago, my head and my heart heard that "click" that frees you from some silly chains that drag you to the darkest side of your soul... and leave you there...

But I'm back.

I have embarked myself on a solo travel, but not alone, and I'm feeling so much better.
I know that it's going to be hard, but I don't care about it because I'm not sure either if I want to go back to my old self... I have learned a lot, there have been tons of good things and I have had lots of support and love that have lighted me in my return to sanity.


I'll be again that smiling and cheerful woman who talks way too much and loves hugs. The rest "just" would have marked my life forever.

New paragraph. New page.

Mariangeles is back.

THANK YOU.

Have a great weekend!

Hello!

It's finally Saturday, and I was up at 7.30am!! It's going to be a productive day :)

I hope you have a great weekend.

Here I'm sharing some Inspiration for you :)

"A precious human life..."

Everyday, think as you wake up,

'Today I am fortunate to have woken up,
I am alive,
I have a precious human life,
I am not going to waste it.

I am going to use all my energies
to develop myself,
to expand my heart out to others,
to achieve enlightenment
for the benefit of all beings.'

Tenzin Gyatso
