HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

I hold my course with focused attention and relentless commitment, as I weather the storms of life.

GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY!!!



I do whatever it takes to adjust the vibration of my own energy and the life energy that I am creating around me if I find that it is not in resonance with the highest knowing that I have about Who I Am, and the greatest experience of this that I can possibly imagine. – Home with God by Neale Donald Walsch








Okay, I've been sitting on this for a while, but now, I want to talk about my New Year's Resolution. And this year, I only have one.

Basically, my New Year's resolution is that I'm FINALLY starting to CONSCIOUSLY create the reality I want to create, a reality of happiness, joy, and abundance.
This past year, I've come to realize this one truth:

Everything that has been happening to me, good or bad, are things that I've been bringing into my own reality. I've posted a link below to a video that I believe will explain this concept better than I can

So, since I'm creating my reality, then I'm gonna do things that bring the reality I want for myself into my life. And that's what I'm doing RIGHT NOW, starting with this blog.

If you follow my blog, you might have noticed that I made a few changes to the blog. I'm gonna make some more in the near future, but there's one change I already made that I want to talk about now.

There's a new section in the sidebar called Special People where I'm gonna post links to people, some alive, some dead, who I believe are special individuals, the type of people I want to be like.

And I'm proud to say that the FIRST person on that list is CARMEN AMARA.





DC Bebop - Carmen Amara:


To me, Carmen is someone who's exactly the kind of person that I want to be: a person who creates her reality. A person who, by being who she is, and doing what she loves, Inspires many people, including me.

I've followed her on Facebook for a few years now, and everyday, whether it's with her exercise videos, or her singing videos, she really inspires me to go for my goals and get to where I want to go in my life.

I learned from her that the impossible means nothing if you believe in what you are doing and work consistently toward acheiving your desires and goals with a strong intention. To me, that's what makes her a very special person, and I know that if you click on her name in the sidebar, you'll see what makes her special too.


below is her bio from her web site:

Carmen Amara Music Bio

A native of Cartagena, Colombia, Carmen Amara immigrated to the United States at a very early age. Although raised and educated in the U.S., she has maintained strong ties to her ethnic roots that inform all areas of her mesmerizing music.

A talented vocalist, her passion for entertainment was evident from the beginning. Always front and center at family and church gatherings, entertainment has been Carmen's driving force from a very early age and - her very first love. Being exposed to so many genres of music as a child left Carmen with an indelible mark that is seen today in her own soulful lyrics.

Seamlessly managing to marry her Latin culture with her very own signature style of music, the stunning songstress' works are a reflection of unity, love, and unsurpassed passion for life. A multicultural richness is purely present in her music and her singular sound and range are refreshing, caressing, and truly what set her apart.

This coloratura soprano writes her own lyrics and her works constitute a unique sound with memorable lyrical hooks that are heard in her lounge R&B, pop, and jazz vocals.

Coupled with her commanding stage presence, Carmen is a true artist of her generation with an impressive list of fans, followers and audiences of all ages and cultures.



Carmen Amara Fitness Bio

Since a very young age, Carmen Amara has been involved in taking care of her body. With an extensive background in all types of dance, she was a cheerleader from elementary school to college and was nominated "Cheerleader of the State" from NCA. Intrigued about gaining knowledge in the proper biomechanics of exercise and eager to learn the fundamentals of sound nutrition, Carmen became a certified fitness trainer with one of the leading schools in the fitness industry, ISSA, and was nominated as "Spotlight Trainer of the Month" in Protraineronline.com, a prestigious online fitness magazine. With a deep interest in health and fitness (and the body and stamina to prove it), she bases her way of life on the Vedantic philosophy in which the goal is a state of self-realization and cosmic consciousness. Historically and currently, it is believed that this state can be experienced by anyone, but it cannot be adequately conveyed in language. Following her calling to help and heal others, Carmen's energy and passion for wellness makes her a dynamic force in the fitness industry. Combining her dance background with the dynamics of body weight exercises in order to make the session unique and full of energy, she also merges the disciplines and practices of Ashtanga Yoga into her training, embracing the original traditions of the practice in order to combine the physical, spiritual, and mental aspects of oneself. In addition, Carmen is certified in Universal Usui Reiki & Energy Healing by the Douglas Institute, and she practices a natural, mind-body approach to weight loss and overall health. She believes in looking at the big picture and in working to make positive lifestyle changes for optimal results. Carmen has been attending USA Gymnastics National Team Coach Christopher Sommer's seminars for the past three years and is currently seeking her Level 1 certification in order to instruct officially under the Gymnastic Bodies Program. In addition, Carmen has just become certified in one of the most popular forms of yoga, Ashtanga yoga, through long-time practitioner David Swenson. She looks forward to learning all series from this practice.

Carmen is the owner of The Sanctuary and Fitness of Miami and has been on many television shows such as Univision and NBC 6 at various times, one of which was a story on her gymnastics training. She is the host and co-producer of her own IP television show on URTV.NET, where she discusses many topics about health and wellness.

Today, Creator, I will use my life to express your will and share my joy wherever I go. Thank you for the opportunity to imagine what could be if I shift my awareness and accept my own divinity.
