What Intentions Means I is for Impressive N is for Nutty T is for Terrific E is for Enthusiastic N is for Neglected T is for Tempting I is for Ideal O is for Odd N is for Nice S is for Sensitive What Does Your Name Mean? Wow what a year. We all watch shows, people, situations, and imagine the things that we strive for, the things that we want, how to go about it, and sometimes don't go about it the right way. I guess that is where that statement "Live and Learn" comes from...all those comments come from the same book of "If I knew then what I know now". I've said be-careful what you wish for it just might present itself in front of you when you think there is no way someone can read what it is you want. Be careful what you desire, it might come true, and then what? Sometimes those moments that forever change your life, also leave you a bit out in the cold full of more questions regardless that it solidifies other areas that you had doubt about at one time. ...

Goodbye my angel. Goodbye my sweet. Goodbye my unexpected surprise. Your heartbeat next to mine completed my puzzle. I'm sorry that we didn't get to meet face to face, but I know you are my angel, and I will always carry you in my soul. I never thought I would know the feeling of a life inside me. The unexpected surprise was one that most go, uh oh, and I was jumping out of my skin wanting to announce it to the world! Unfortunately in life "Things happen for a reason" and not all events make it to their day of arrival. My faith helps me cope with not being angry, but my heart is heart broken. The future will bring new events when the time is right. 2007 , and every year for everyone, entails so much for all of us. Up and Down, sad moments, happy moments, moments that take your breath away, moments that give you butterflies and desire that you wish you could have at a moments notice, and events that bring in people into your life that you realize people are some of  t...

Walk a mile in my shoes....I heard that new song the other day and it made me think.... Who said that your problems are worse than theirs or vice versa? I have never believed no matter what I'm going through that my roadblocks are more important than those of others. I do believe and have learned recently that when something comes up deal with it to the best of your ability and move ahead, because as I've been told, no one wants to hear you whine over and over. Situations affect us all in very different ways. What is on the top of one persons list might be on the bottom of another list, and what is that last thought of one person might be the top priority of another. Every day we pray, wish, hope that we can reach the goal that we have set out for ourselves. Some things surprise us, some situations take us by surprise, and some moments take our breath away so much that it inspires us to strive for more. Crossroads appear in life, and as soon as you pick which way to go, roadbl...

Aha...be careful what you wish for it just might come true. Be careful what you strive for you might just get what you want...now all of these things are good things, so I'm not complaining. How do you handle overwhelmed? If you are happy are you allowed to go through the emotion of overwhelmed? What if the business that you have worked for is finally starting to pay off? What if the impossible miracle clicked and has begun? Finally back home after seven years. I can't believe that I get to be around my family. I wake up and look around, and just can not believe how lucky I am. With all that luck comes the bitter sweet. I miss my extended family of friends. The support I have received, love, fun, experiences, it has been priceless, and has helped me become the person I am today. Florida is my home. Scott, and all of you are also a part of my home. Home is in my soul. The rest it is just icing on the cake. Tonight's blog is just short and sweet. Think about what you want...

"Oh brother" that is all I can say about some comments through out the various sites. Everyone is entitled to their O P I N I O N S...careful about what words you choose...WHY? Figure it out. I am truly blessed to have the relationships in my life that I have...I love that I am surrounded by people of faith, love, family, and positivity. I am blessed to be surrounded by very faithful people that realize to appreciate GOD or whatever higher power you choose, you don't have to jam it down someone's throat or make it a point to explain all the time. Having faith or beliefs all you have to do is take those lessons of life, and faith and apply them to your day to day interactions. It's not how hard you practice at your faith, it's whether or not you are truly learning and living as you are being taught. Many are not, and say they are.... Always take the higher road, and never poke at someone's ego. That is all I will discuss about this topic because faith is...

It has been an interesting few weeks understanding loves. Understanding friends relationships, understanding how much so many of us have in common (or do we? you know who you are). In the past few blogs I was writing about why so many hurt, suffer pain. I had seen so many extremes and how it was one thing or another and the only one thing in every relationship that you can overdose on( and it is o.k.) is communication (how ever you choose to express it, or how creative you want to get). It is so hard at times watching relationships where you can see the love so clearly but I don't know if it's pride, or fear that people hold back what they need to say? I know that sometimes it is easier to tell an indirect person what you want to say due to being let down, or hurt just flat out sucks, but wouldn't it suck more to just miss out on something amazing or find out now if it is even worth all that worry? We get this great opportunity at life. We have the ability to communicat...

So, I didn't realize that people just will say something mean, over saying something constructive. Thank you ANONYMOUS that felt the need to go there...Great observation, and reminder sometimes you can't reach everyone. It's like I was saying on the last blog. I didn't disagree with peoples opinions. Like I stated what works great for one relationship might not be for another.... Some relationships want to hear "Tell me you love me" others want the actions to show "love" What LOVE is for one person isn't the same for another....I was talking with some friends that supported that statement....I.E. Cuddling, intimacy might fulfill one person, while someone helping out around the house or mowing the yard might fulfill another. Everything is so touchy because once you think you have it all figured out, something comes out of the blue and throws the famous curve ball. Friends with benefits...good, great...but doesn't someone always get hurt? Isn...

No kidding. It truly is amazing. The politics of certain elements needed to get something approved. Sometimes I think companies are wanting trouble. I mean really. If I were to follow...lets say a process to a certain company to get something approved, and they were trying to categorize it the wrong way to avoid payment. Don't they realize that there is still a trail of paperwork for the person following a correct process, to achieve the best results to complete that particular account/claim? Don't they want you to better the situation to resolve the matter? Do you want to spend more money trying to get out of something, than finding the quickest resolution and paying a much smaller price? I THINK NOT!!! O.K. I promised about relationships. Oh my young grasshoppers it has been fun listening. In relationships of ANY KIND...it will all depend. Stand on your ground, but you can not enjoy life if you have everything in a "this is how it's going to be". Haven'...

Buenas Noches. The story of intentions and observations continues. Isn't it funny how a sincere human being does the things that they do just because they want to, and society has let us down so much that people question nice acts? Jobs, partnerships, relationships, they all work the same. To assist each other. Teamwork. I question when a third party questions my responsibility or have I thought things through??? Hmm, why do you ask? Are you unsure about the decisions in your life you'll live vicariously through mine? I don't mean those questions to guide and assist for the best results. I mean the ones that ask you to sacrifice yourself. Hmmm. Intentions? Live hard. Love hard. Laugh hard. Pretty simple. Work, Play, Faith. Easy. Just remember that all I'm saying is take a step back. Remember that if you want something in life you have to go for it. Fear and all. Fear sometimes is what finally gets us off our tails. If you love someone tell them now, don't wait. If...

As a favorite song of mine says..."Mañana Vendra" it means "Tomorrow will come" Go BUY ALAS PARA VOLAR by THANIA SANZ (www.thaniasanz.com) and the song is completely translated by THANIA SANZ. Listen life is about figuring out who you are...not forgetting yourself. I'll admit, I got lost, lost it. Take it as you wish. I am starting new. You never just leave or walk away from a marriage, partnership, relationship what ever you want to call it. You strive to live honestly. Move ahead. Of course you don't throw anything away. Yes marriage is good, bad, sickness, health...so is every other meaningful relationship in your life. I was told how amazing enjoying life would be when I peeled away the layers of b.s. How much more will you enjoy if you stop, and take a good look at yourself? The journey ahead is as one friend put it, a set of cards. Lucky, but.... THEY are just not set up right. I have to flip some over, discard some, etc. I'm no poker player c...

Fragile. Every day it is a challenge to stay positive. You wake up, you tell yourself all of these wonderful affirmations, you promise no matter what, P O S I T I V E. What if within all of this positivity you realize fate, time, it has all come to a moment, when that positive side, that strength...well you hit a bit of a break down? It's not o.k. right? Get over it, stop feeling sorry for yourself, everyone goes through worse...well you know what? What ever we all go through this is not a competition, and we are all built different. I think the main point MOST of us strive towards is to love, be good, kind, work hard, so we can play hard. Remember WORK TO LIVE, not LIVE TO WORK. Balance is the trick. The YING/YANG I have always told people on a bad day, a day they cry or just need to let loose, it's o.k. We are human and every once in a while you just have to cry. It's o.k. to feel overwhelmed? 7 years to the day I moved to this state, is 7 years to the date I'm abou...

Tired. That is the power of the testers in our lives. They want to see if they can tire you out of what your goal, intension, you get the point. Test, Test, Test, what is all that about? I really don't get it. Be straight. Get to the point. Don't waste my time, cause you are wasting yours too. Times are changing, and storms have come and left...the point is what have I learned. Well, the obvious is not what have I learned is am I putting it to practice (A wise person told me)? That is the hardest of all isn't it. We all now what we should do, how we should behave, and when to do things, but are we doing them??? I have learned that no matter how much you love someone, you can't love someone to better themselves if they do not want to. I have learned that no matter how good your intensions.... selfish, is selfish, and looking out for yourself is another thing. I have learned that if you threaten me then you'll lose. I know what roles I have played in relationships, an...

Welcome Mac, Welcome back Cat....it has been a ride....Sony mother board died...since I'm joining the world of Graphic Design and Promotions again...yes I'm back...well it was time to join the Mac world. I feel like the first day of school, excited...and at the same time realize I have a lot to learn. Knowledge is power....so far...so good...and it's only going to get better...plus the Gators are doing just fine.... It's like I say, everytime you think you are getting everything in order...a new curve ball hits ya. That is o.k. The point is to shrug it off and keep reaching for the stars. I know a lot of you are like...come on Cathy...really...really...remember what I said about being thankful. Realize that just because you're thankful for what you have doesn't lessen the desire to strive for more...it just keeps you real...it keeps you grounded...and keeps you ahead of those that try to destroy your happiness. People forget that you don't have to destroy du...

It's amazing what you notice when you are out of your usual routine. I have spent the last few months outside my usual routine that if you knew me, you could probably track me down to the minute where I was every second of the day...till my head hit the pillow. Well, life changes, and things happen, and finally you are almost forced out of a routine....that has been a bittersweet experience for me so far. I have traveled due to events, and at the same time caught up with my life...you know the one you ignore due to consistently taking care of business you kind of forget about yourself. I noticed today...those who speak like they have learned it all, have it all, really have nothing. I don't mean it as a put down...I mean life ...even when I was in my military routine...it's about paying attention...and if you do know about something..then share...teach...learn more. You can be good at something, but if you realize that there is always room for improvement you can be great...

Sound off, one...two...three...four. Wow. Just when you think life can not surprise you...well...it does. Just when you are about to hang up your skates...thing start falling into place. It's very overwhelming at times..and it takes very thick skin to put your self out there...but if you are striving for more in life...and you want to better your situation...you have to reach outside of your comfort zone. Again. Most business is about knocking on doors...and you have to keep at it...especially when you know that what you have to offer is an excellent product. No the product is not just excellent because it's yours...but because of the work, time, talent put into it. We live in a society where everything is instant gratification and image...digital cameras, text messages, instant messages, e-mails...does anyone use their home line any more? Does anyone take the time to write a hand written letter? Do you realize that beautiful person can be really ugly inside thus makes them...

The correct way to do business is to do what ever works... I will hold on to that phrase. I mean how did everyone else get to where they are? If you ask them regardless of the certain rules, and manners to follow, the ones that stand out did it just a bit different than everyone else. I'm going to play by that rule. Stand out. Stick out. Be heard. Let's play.

The people who made you...thank them....thank them for all the opportunities they have given you...whether you see it, or not...the major one is you are here because of them....The next step is figuring out what to do with all the opportunities in life. See, there is this thing we all forget about free will, choices...What are you going to do with those? We will encounter so many things in life...and when you feel like there is nothing ...you'll see, something or someone will surprise you. I had such a wonderful evening today. I met up with a friend that came by to check on me...in the process she brought a card from a past co-worker. What is the story behind the card...well as most of you know I was in Boston visiting my aunt I had not seen in 20 years...and I get this call. Cat ...I need a reference, can this company call you...my deadline is today...to which I replied...of course. I spoke to the company frankly about what an asset it would be for them to have this woman join th...

When does it happen? When do you figure out all of the answers. When does all of the hard work, and good intentions pay off? I mean I know everyone is out for the same reason...we are all striving to reach our goals...what ever they may be...but what is the final key? It's who you know regardless of what you know, or what you can offer. Am I wrong? I hope to be proved wrong. I hope that we are still in an era where great talents, hard work, and great intentions pay off. Life and professional decisions how they all come together....or not...but I'll work on figuring it out. Moving Forward. Lets keep our chins up...lets remember regardless of the challenges that we are dealt that we have the capacity, and strength to overcome and accomplish.

Nope. Let's see...it's a long weekend. I've been taking a variety of calls....it's amazing isn't it. When you really need a call...your phone is like a cricket (nothing, nada , zip, zilch, check to see if it works since there is no ring tone :o)...and when you need to get things in order, the calls are so diverse...you can't help but have a drink (wink, wink) Really tell me about the chase...have you ever been in a situation where...obviously there is mutual attraction...you are doing your best to resist but the forces of nature take over...and well you go with it. How do you stop that moment? Let me rephrase...make it go in slow motion? How do you make it last forever? Tell me. I have almost ruined every great moment because I am so used to loosing it. Why? Really why chase, conquer and then leave things so open that you have no idea which way is up or down. I mean if it was a bad experience...then it's easy right? Phew it's over...but if it's yummy...

What a day. I guess being bilingual, having a huge heart , having passion, and choice of words has advantages, and disadvantages. It sometimes is a disadvantage depending what language you choose to express what needs to be said...when I speak English, I'm thinking Spanish, and when I speak Spanish, I'm thinking in English. I've been told that I'm one of the most direct people some have met, that I leave no stone unturned in communication, yet ...sometimes I wonder what people have taken away from the conversation? It also seems more difficult to express on a post, e-mail, where you are unable to hear the tone the message delivers. There are three sides to everyone. The positive, the one we all try to stay in, the one that motivates us, the one that propels us forward in all of our endeavors. The second side...the business side. The side that propels us to look, act, fit, talk, push, strive, and figure out how to get a product/point/resolution to whatever it is we are t...

It's a bit past half day, and so many things I've taken care of...and so many more to go....and the day seems like it's just flown by... Relationships today...it seems like we are all in a rush to go through the program, and the reason there are so many breakups, divorce, broken hearts is because we have not taken the time to really figure out who we are... It is not saying the people in our life are not wonderful people...it's saying that we didn't look at our core self, and figure who we are before we involved someone in our world. Who is the one committing the bigger mistake? Is it the person that knows that they are with someone struggling to find out who they are, or is it the person on a mission of getting to know me?

Good evening, Let the work begin... Welcome to all that will take the time to play along. I'm here to share opinions...promote an amazing artist, and kick off my fathers books. Thank you for taking the time to share....
