Kaleidoscope Relationships List

I was invited by Priscilla McIntire to take part in this list building. I always love the idea of sharing information and contacts. I've added Good to Feel Good, Make a Scene, and Energies of Creation.

If you click on the title, you'll go to Priscilla's post. I'm sure this list will grow enormous in a very few days, if not hours.

You can benefit from this list in many ways: finding like-minded people, finding services, or finding awesome material to read and learn from. If you are not in the list and would like to be, just send an e-mail to Priscilla.

She's also releasing her new book Personal Development Kaleidoscope. You can check on it HERE.

Cheers!

I am thinking about taking these past 15 days and keeping the formula forever, maybe changing the specific events, but not the general diagram.

My web page: http://thrivingtogether.com has taken the shape I wanted it to have. I found my web around WordPress and everything is working well there.

With my band Mua I've recorded 5 songs in a studio. This was the first recording for me. (Check on the first song uploaded at http://www.myspace.com/flamsyparadiddles)

I've played live three times in one week. My performance in public is not too good yet, but I'm confident repetition will help :D

I've met new, interesting people, both face to face and on-line.

I've retaken my shortly stopped daily visualization practice.

Yesterday I saw one of those concerts you remember for years: The Yellowjackets, with Mike Stern and one awesome drummer.

I've enjoyed my work very much these days.

We got a pet! A lovely, 1-month-old kitten, still unnamed.

And last but not least, Spring is slowly showing itself and it feels so good!

I hope you're having a good time too!

Much abundance,

Patricia

Aviso (innecesario):

Este post es super egocéntrico...asquerosamente egocéntrico...repugnantemente egocéntrico!

Sin embargo, lo que me movió a postearlo no fue el egocentrismo de "miren qué linda quedo en la batería" sino las ganas de compartir la felicidad que yo siento cuando estoy creando música (o algo así). Y la verdad hoy me vinieron ganas de transmitir eso con estas fotos. De paso les presento a mis dos compañeras de ruta: Agustina (guitarra) y Cláudia (voz). Sin una pizca de exageración puedo decir que las dos me parecen maravillosas y que estoy orgullosa de estar en un (o dos) proyecto con ambas. Son músicas maravillosas y seres humanos maravillosos.

Nota: El que parezca extraterrestre, con los ojos brillantes y la piel verde, o que parezca embarazada, le da un toque especial a la cosa, verdad?

***

Warning (unnecessary):

This post is super egocentric...sickening egocentric...repugnantly egocentric.

However, what moved me to post it was not the egocentrism of "look how nice I look at the drumset" but the urge to share the happiness that I feel when I am creating music (or something like that.) The truth is that today I felt like transmitting that with these pictures. By the way I introduce you to my two route companions: Agustina (guitar) and Cláudia (voice). Without a hint of exaggeration I can say that both seem marvellous to me and that I am proud to be in one (or two) projects with them. They are wonderful musicians and human beings.

Note: The fact that I seem an ET, with the eyes full of fire or the green skin, or that I look pregnant, gives a special note to the post, right?

Group Energy Can Save You

Sometimes you feel down and you find difficulties in getting to the surface, no matter how well you know that everything depends on your feelings. At times that even plays against your vibes, because you think stuff like "It depends on me; I must feel good, but I can't feel good... will I ever find the way out?" and you may even feel guilty for your own sadness. So things get to a point where it is really difficult to improve your feelings, therefore vibrations, therefore point of attraction, therefore future experiences.

Well, I could be writing from a general point of view but the case is that I'm talking from first-hand experience. My vibes were stubbornly low these past days and no matter how much I worked on it, things did not improve.

I am taking part in two visualization groups. One is international the other is local. With the local group we gather once a week and we visualize together for twenty minutes, thirty sometimes.

Last week, the group felt I was in need of help and they decided to give me an awesome present: they all visualized me well and happy. That special energy worked immediately. While we were in the visualization, I was able to feel GOOD! And all it takes is one spark of good feeling. Then things look so different! The moment things look good, the whole energetic field changes around us and we are on track again.

So, here is my idea: if you belong to any personal growth group and you realize you are in need of help: ask for it. If you don't belong to any personal growth group, but you have a couple of friends, invite them to sit down with you, relax, close their eyes and imagine yourself full of positive energy and feeling good.

It is my experience that those people do not need to be close. If there is connection, they may be overseas or in another planet.

Note: Just as there is no need to have one important reason to feel bad, there is no need to have any good reason to feel great. Sometimes you wake up and you feel grumpy, sad, or angry for no apparent reason. It may be useful to remember that you can feel successful, fulfilled and plain happy just because.

Dream by Tuck and Patti

Hey friends,

I purchased a CD by Tuck & Patti called Dream.

I loved the lyrics of the song called the same way and I'm sure you'll love it too. It's what we talk about, over and over again. Dream, feel it, get it!

There is no way I can upload the music here without doing something illegal. I recommend you try to find it and listen to it because the music is also great.

Cheers,
Patricia

I've been thinking (yes I have)
Some call it wishful thinking (I don't)
'Bout the way this life could be

So much sadness (seems like)
Not enough gladness (seems to me)
Lack of vision is a dangerous thing

If you can see it
Then you start to feel it
The next thing you know, you believe
And that's when dreams begin to come true

So with all your heart and your soul
Start right now--really take control
Turn our dreams into reality

And until you do, I'll be dreamin' for me and you
We'll see together what a dream can do
We'll discover how to make dreams real
If seeing is believing, then let the dreaming begin
Let the dreaming begin

If you can see it
Then you start to feel it
And the next thing you know, you believe
And that's when dreams begin to come true
Oh they'll begin to come true

So with all your heart and your soul
Start right now--really take control
Turn these dreams into reality
I know that we can change this world
But first you're gonna have to believe
Oh believe say yes
We can change this world
But first you're going to have to

Dream
Everybody dream
Turn our dreams into reality oh say
Dream
Everybody dream
Turn our dreams into reality, say oh won't you

Dream of peace and
Dream of justice
Dream of healing
Dream of loving

Dream
Everybody dream
Turn our dreams into reality

Dream of caring
End of hunger
Dream of sharing
With one another

Dream
Everybody dream
Turn our dreams into reality

Dream of spirit
Dream of glory
Dream of the ancient
Old old story

Dream
Everybody dream
Turn our dreams into reality, I want you to

Dream of peace and
Dream of justice
Dream of healing
Dream of loving

Dream of spirit
Dream of glory
Dream of the ancient
Old old story

Dream end of hatred
Dream oh the story
Dream of love and
Dream of glory

Dream yes oh
Everybody dream
Turn our dreams into reality oh say

I'm Dreamin' of peace
I'm Dreamin' of healing
Dream of love and
Dream of caring

Dreaming say
I'm dreaming now
Dreaming of a love say
I'm dreaming
I know that we can dream a world of love

"The Road to Love" by Lisa Renee Faust

Dear friends,

I'm extraordinarily happy today because I learned that The Road to Love - a book I edited not too long ago - was released.

For those of you who may want to read a beautiful, romantic novel, I completely recommend you The Road to Love.

I promise you will fall in love with its characters and with the story that will take you by the hand and not let you go until its last page.

This is Lisa Renee Faust's first book. She certainly started with the right foot.

I hope you all buy it! You will enjoy a great time among its lovely pages. That's a solemn promise.

Beautiful Music

Today I was completely hypnotized by some videos of Carmen Pi, to which I arrived by total chance.

Do yourselves a favour and go check these links!(I'm not including the embeded videos because I've noticed that some artists do not like that and they take them away. I believed it was free marketing for them, but well, they must have their reasons.)

So, here are the links to the Youtube videos and... enjoy! The melodies, the singing quality, the sweetness and the professionalism of the music in general... wow. Outstanding. A real pleasure to listen and watch this.

If you don't understand Spanish, I'm afraid you won't get the lyrics, but just travel with the music and your imagination as most of us did with English at some point. :) Most of us, me included, believed that The Beatles' lyrics were great... until we learned some English. So, just go there and enjoy it.

Música hermosa

Quedé completamente hipnotizada con unos videos de Carmen Pi, a los que llegué por casualidad total.

Háganse un gran favor, y vayan a chequear estos links! (No pongo los videos incrustados, porque he notado que a algunos artistas no les gusta y los quitan. Yo creía que era propaganda gratuita para ellos, pero bueno, por algo será).

Así que acá están los links a los videos de Youtube y ¡que disfruten! Las melodías, la calidad del canto, la dulzura, la profesionalidad de la música en general... guau. Impresionante. Un real placer escuchar y ver esto.

Have phrases from lyrics made any difference to you?

The idea of this post was triggered by a comment left today. Thanks Nelson!

I listened to The Police and Sting for years & years and their lyrics have really influenced me. Some lines showed me concepts clearly, that I then applied into my life. Other lines reaffirmed what I already thought and put my ideas in black and white, leaving them easier to reach. Very often, in my daily life, something happens that makes me sing one or two lines of their lyrics. Of course this is not exclusive from Sting and The Police and at times I've found myself mumbling other artists' lyrics (my favorite: "I wanna be your underware.") UNDERWEAR! (I needed a student to spot this horror for me!! - Thanks Lula!)

Do you ever sing to yourself lyrics' lines? Are they a significant part of your life?

I am listing below, only a few of the lines I often find myself remembering. If you feel like telling me others you like, feel free to say that in the comments section.

“No surprise no mystery” (So Lonely.) The impact is to trigger the opposite in my life. I definitely want a life full of surprise and mystery. Life is something else if we receive unexpected people, events, things.

“I’m too full to swallow my pride” (Can’t Stand Losing You.) This line is quite funny. I’ve always thought of it as an excellent reminder that swallowing one’s pride is not foolish... sometimes. But it was because I thought the sentence was different! I thought it was “I’m too fool to swallow my pride.” Ha.

“When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around” (Song title.) This is a principle in my life. That’s the policy. Do the best out of what you have.

“I must have loved you” (Ghost Story.) This line has often come to my head when thinking about different characters that visited my life for a shorter or longer while. Whenever you keep remembering someone, you must have loved her or him. So, learning lessons, I look at those surrounding me right now and make my love conscious.

“If I ever lose my faith in you, there'd be nothing left for me to do”. I agree with this line, only that ‘you’ is ‘me.’ If I ever lose my faith in me... so I keep feeding my faith in me.

“If you love somebody, set them free” – I know it’s a classic expression, but still so true and useful.

“There’s a little black spot on the sun today” (King of Pain.) I swear that nearly every time I am sad, I discover myself mentally singing this song!

“Only hope can keep me together” (Message in a Bottle.) This line has saved my life more than twice!

“Rehumanize yourself” – I’ve grabbed this concept whenever I saw my life going down a wrong track. The last time I used it was when I decided to change jobs.

“Not only food but education” (Another Day.) Brilliant concept that I would put into practice if I ever become a president.

“There is no monopoly on common sense” (Russians.) This is the principle behind my not agreeing with things like death sentence. Also the one behind my permanent relativism.


This side effect is one more aspect of music I am grateful for. Lyrics become company and inspiration at very important times of our lives.

¿Por qué debería llorar por ti?

Sting siempre me ha inspirado. Algunas veces solo me quedo con una oración de toda una letra. Me gusta especialmente la frase y título de una de sus canciones: Why should I cry for you? En español: ¿Por qué debería llorar por ti?

Podría remplazar ese “ti” por un nombre, un vínculo, incluso por una cosa: el padre de mi hijo y la familia que pensé que podíamos haber tenido; los padres que me hubiera gustado tener; el amigo que perdí y no sé cómo recuperar; la naturaleza, sus pérdidas y cómo perdí contacto con ella. Ese “ti” incluso puede ser un “mí”: Por qué debería llorar por la pequeña Patricia, sus miedos, su soledad o sus anhelos.

Llorar por lo que no es o por lo que no tenemos no mejora nada. Podemos llorar sin parar durante años—te aseguro que sé de lo que hablo—por alguien o algo y la situación no va a mejorar ni un ápice. Sentirse mal, triste o arrepentido no cambia nada. La realidad sigue siendo exactamente la misma y estás perdiendo tu tiempo, perdiéndote la oportunidad de vivir otra experiencia maravillosa en su lugar.

El universo de cosas por las cuales podemos derramar nuestras lágrimas es lo suficientemente vasto como para que yo no intente describirlo. Mi doctorado en lágrimas inútiles lo hice sobre relaciones humanas. Terminar la tesis me llevó siete largos años y es posible que mi defensa aún esté pendiente. ¿Qué aprendí de eso? ¡Nada que no hubiera podido aprender en un par de días!

En vez de llorar, últimamente sonrío, agradezco por las experiencias,
acepto las experiencias, la gente, etc. y sigo de largo. De vez en cuando puede pasar que me ponga algo triste, pero no me paro a descansar en ese sentimiento.

Cada experiencia es una oportunidad de aprendizaje. Siempre y cuando tengas tus sentidos alertas, o aprendes de los otros o aprendes de ti mismo. Esto es un regalo por el cual tenemos que estar agradecidos. Las lágrimas no tienen ningún lugar ahí.

Why Should I Cry For You?

Sting has been one of my lifetime inspirers. Sometimes I keep only one sentence from a whole lyric. I specially love this sentence: Why should I cry for you?

I could replace that 'you' by a name, a bond, even a thing: my child's father and the family I thought we could have had; the parents I would have liked to have; the friend I lost and I don't know how to recover; nature, its losses and how I lost contact with it. That 'you' can even be 'me': Why should I cry for little Patricia, her fears, her loneliness or her longings.

Crying for what is not or for what we do not have does not do the trick. We can cry for years in a row--believe me, I know what I say--for someone or something and the situation will not get any better. Feeling bad, sorry or miserable does not change a thing. Reality keeps being exactly the same and you are wasting your time, missing the opportunity to live another wonderful experience instead.

The universe of things we can shed our tears for is vast enough for me not to attempt to describe it. My PhD on useless tears has been done on relationships. My thesis took seven long years to be finished and my defense is probably still pending. What did I learn from that? Nothing I could not have learned in a couple of days!

Instead of crying, lately I smile, thank for the experiences,
accept the experiences, people, etc. and go on. I may get sad from time to time, but I do not stop and rest in that sad feeling.

Each experience is a learning opportunity. Provided you have your eyes and ears open, either you learn from the others or you learn from yourself. This is a gift to be thankful for. Tears do not fit there.

Influence

I found two things Pedro told me a proof that my influence on him is in the direction I want it to.

Yesterday:

Yesterday he first said: "Oh, I don't want Sunday to come!"
It doesn't really matter why, but he's not too willing to do something that he will have to.)

A very short while later he added, "I know, I know... I don't have to live in the future, I have to enjoy here and now."

I find it really great that he is internalizing this, even if only intellectually right now.


Today:

Early Friday morning, preparing for school.

"Mum, Fridays pass by super fast to me, because I love everything I do. In the morning we have Spanish, and I love Spanish! Then we have the break, later IT that I enjoy so much. Then we have the dictation in English, that I especially enjoy and finally only 1,5 hr of class and I come home."

Now, this was really outstanding for me because:

Firstly, he is aware of the things he likes! Eureka! He is watching things from the positive side. He is seeing the value in things, and he is grateful for positive things in his life. Yes! Woohooo!

Then, he used to say his Spanish teacher was not too good with them. Something switched there for the good.

Also his enjoying the dictation is something that fills me with joy, because this is something that the first week was a big challenge for both of us. On Monday his English teacher gave them a list of words and on Friday they would be doing the dictation. That was the first time he had to actually study something! This has been repeated each week and the fact that he says he enjoys it is showing that we are both doing it 'the right way.' Learning but having fun in the process.

So, friends, I couldn't be happier about these things about my son, which in a way, are about me too.

Thanks for reading!

Life is Awesome

I've received a few messages asking for new posts and new content. What can I say? You are completely right. I have nearly stopped writing posts for a while!

Now, the great thing about it is that I stopped writing because life has grabbed me completely and taken me up the spiral of excitement, joy and completeness.

Music is changing my life in a breathtaking way. Firstly, I am making music. That itself is enough to make my heart stop. Maybe you can understand this if you are the kind of person who can lie down and while you listen to a song, you travel somewhere else, so far, that when the song finishes you look right and left to remember where you were in the first place... and sometimes it takes you a moment or two to adjust to reality.

Well, yes, maybe I'm saying nonsense here. I simply don't know how to express the joy that music creates in me. I could say that my heart goes faster or slower when I listen to a well-played theme that moves me. It does; I swear it.

So, music is not just something else in my world. Music has always been a very essential part of me. I always loved listening to recorded music or going to awesome concerts. A few minutes ago I was remembering concerts like Paul Simon's where Michael Brecker played an amazing song of himself with his weird sax and I'm pretty sure my heart stopped bumping at some point until the song ended. Pat Metheny, Pedro Aznar, Richard Bona, Mike Stern, John Scofield, and so many others.

Well, right now I am making music and though I'm ages away from producing anything similar to these heroes of mine, the effect that playing has on me is the same effect of a good concert, only multiplied several times.

I find it interesting that the joy and feeling of completeness does not come from the presence of public. The public has an incidence but its effect is not so direct. Public alerts your senses and makes you give the best of you. But contrary to what I believed earlier, the moment you start playing and feeling the music, you forget the public exists. But it is thanks to the public that you are giving the best right there, on the stage.

The amazing energy that flows among the members of the band when we are at the stage is another thing that makes me quiver. We do rehearse, of course, and we do enjoy those rehearsals very, very much. But playing live is completely different, and I'm sure if energy levels were measured then, we would be surprised.

Tonight we went to a jam session where we listened to really awesome musicians. My heart was jumping of joy, especially thanks to the drummer and the bass player. OK, I won't even try to tell you how it was like... music simply flowed, lovely, directly to the heart.

And those awesome musicians invited us to play on the stage. OK, imagine it. Imagine a complete silence, with images crossing in my head: the awesome drummer, the awesome bass player, me and my full awareness of my limitations with the instrument. That collage of images was in my head while stepping on the stage.

I silently thanked life for placing the drummer at the back of everything and everyone... and I fooled myself telling me that nobody could really see me behind the others. I felt terrified like never before. We had played for the first time in front of lots of people not long ago and I didn't have that fear at all!

Our bass player could not play tonight and we played with one very good bass player first, then with that awesome bass player that had earlier made me jump of joy.

The feelings were quite a mixture inside my chest. I was fascinated. It was an amazing honor to make some music with him. And, of course, it gave me a feeling of responsibility that was very similar to fright.

We only played two songs. But the experience was worth a week of my life.

Looking at all this from another point of view, I'm thrilled at the amazingly generous people I'm meeting through music. Every single musician I've met in the last year has been amazingly good with me. They are generous, polite and caring.

Either the Universe is putting the right people in front of me all the time, or musicians are very, very special people.

So, with all this happening, it is true that I'm not feeling like sitting to write many posts lately. But I'm more than ever applying the Law of Attraction, with obvious good results.
The two visualization groups formed with the first buyers of Thriving Together are starting sometime in the next few days and I'm excited with that too. That is the opportunity to manifest new dreams (with a little help of my friends.)

Last but not least, there is a lot of work coming in. The challenge of living as a freelancer is intact and present every single day.

Mmm... is this too weird a blog post? I can only say that it came from the heart at 3:30 am.

Have a great week!
