"The Fundamentals Of Caring"

If you are in need of some inspiration you might want to watch "The Fundamentals of Caring". Paul Rudd, Craig Roberts, and Selena Gomez are part of the cast that brings this film to life. It's playing on Netflix right now and I'm having an off day today, so, I decided to watch it.

Basically, you have Trevor who's suffering from DMD (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy). His life like many of our lives is a monotony. He eats the same things every day and watches the same show.  He has this map of places he wants to visit but has gone nowhere. Then, there's Ben a caregiver that can't seem to move on from his ex-wife after their son died in an accident. And you add Dot to the mix, a runaway whose mother died from cancer and is looking to go to Colorado,. Altogether we have a good group of people who need just a little bit more love and care.

They find this love in each other because when you care about someone enough to help them achieve their dreams, you earn a friend for life. And I mean a real friend, not someone that will talk about you behind your back. You earned a friend that's willing to put their hands in the fire for you.

This movie just came into my life at the right time because I'm starting a new journey for myself. I'm about to start climbing up the mountain to reach new goals I have made for myself. It's not just goals that will benefit me but in the long run, will also benefit my family. Those are the kind of goals at the age of 26 that I will set for myself. I'm ready to step up my game and continue growing into the woman I want to be.

That said, think about this:

Imagine if you could go out there and see the places you dream about? Wouldn't that be just great? Well, that's exactly what Trevor has the opportunity of doing and by seeing his journey it really gets me thinking about my own journey and the places I want to visit. I already made a list and I already knocked one out.

Think about your journey...where would you like to go? 
What would you like to do?
Where would you start and where would you end your journey?

Los cerebros que se van y el corazon que se queda

El ensayo: “Los cerebros que se van y el corazón que se queda”, de Magali Garcia Rami es magnifico. Me hizo pensar mucho en mí misma porque mi familia inmigró a los Estados Unidos cuando yo apenas tenia 4 años. Lloraba todos los días, extrañando como nadie se imagina a mi país. Especialmente a mi madre que aún seguía allá. A los 22 años que tengo ahora, ya estoy acostumbrada a vivir aquí. Pero no hay día que no piense o hable de mi país y de esa vida cotidiana y tranquila que se vive allá. García Rami menciona en su ensayo que los inmigrantes o cerebros tienden a reunirse hablar de el país que tratan de no añorar y esa es la realidad.               Cada vez que viajo a la Republica me toma unas semanas adaptarme. Ya adaptada, no quisiera regresar a esta país al menos que no sea de visita. Las reuniones entres vecinos, la confianza, y ese precioso mar que nos rodea, me convierte en una persona tranquila y en una persona ...

I Let Go

 When I commit to something, I like to see it through.  I work hard to see it through.   I ignore the signs and I keep pushing even when there's nothing worth fighting for. This year though, I am learning to let go of everything; I mean people, I mean situations, feelings, and anything that doesn't serve me. And I grieve all of this but in a healthy way.  I allow time to be my friend. I give myself words of encouragement. I give my body, food, vitamins, and exercise. I give my brain meditation and therapy. I read. I cry, I talk to my sister, and my friends. I Let Go. It's the best thing I could've done for myself. At the end of the day, is it really worth forcing something that's not meant to be for you?

A Lost Story #NationalNovelWritingMonth2024

 I watched a love story, a telenovela, many years ago.  I was maybe between the ages of 5-7 when they played it on TV. Something about that telenovela has lived forever in my mind. I thought that maybe with technology advancing we could see the story again. After years of waiting, I found the director (I love the power of the internet) and he gave me the terrible news that...unfortunately, the story was lost forever.  I may not be able to watch it again, but I would like to write it down in my own words. This is my project for the rest of 2024 and part of NANO WRIMO 2024. What are you writing about for the month of November?
