Hola - I hope everyone in the northern hemisphere is just taking advantage of the final days of warm weather. And all my gorgeous babes to the south, your hot sunny days are soon to arrive, well in a few months - but it is closer than yesterday....
I am about to embark on a 6 week mission through the Caribbean and North and South America, did this a few times and when I returned I needed a long vacation. This will be mostly business and stuff. I will be in Mexico a few times, Pacific side and Cancun, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Canada and Colombia.... I wanna hook up with the Colombian and Canadian SG's - they are some gorgeous and fine examples of women in the planet.
As I get ready to depart I am starting become aware of how small the planet is, how different and yet so much the same every place I go feels and looks. The families I meet, the young people and elderly and young professionals and the business people all have the same desires, wants, and very much the same goals. We all want to live in abundance, have stuff, a lot of stuff and have toys - you know - things that we want, think we need and the things we want to identify us and those that will define us. It is simple, basic and it is all over my known world. I think it is time I expand my world also. I have traversed this hemisphere from Canada -(which I love) to Argentina and it is time I cross the oceans. Yes, I have not crossed the oceans, un-believable as it sounds for an internationalist like me!!!!
So, as I see this year landing, as I approach the runway leading to the final chapters of this year 2008, I will start to write - as I do every fall, a list of things to do for the coming year. I have not completed 50% of the line items in this years list, I am focused and on my way there. But, I will include moving on to another hemisphere and crossing the Atlantic and Pacific. Norway I am coming or headed your way. I wanna open a taco stand there.
The stuff I set out to do, the things I want to accomplish and projects that I do complete all add to my history and add to the stories I tell. Most of all, they define me, who I am - by what I do. I want to move away from that repetitive drama. I do not want my past to define me, I to not want to be identified by my past. I want to continuously make a serious attempt to be, not only a better person but - my next thing, project or activity must always be better than my past and it should be less a measurable of who I am or want to be and display - it must be representative of how I am making contributions to improve the planet, to repair this globe, to really bring the change we need in the world. This does not have to be a war, a conflict with the powers of the planet, it has to be a change of minds, of philosophy, of thought and of ideas. We have to stop measuring success and accomplishments by individual activities - eliminate individual competition and end the idea of value in quantity.
I want to measure my success and accomplishments from this moment on - solely based on the positive impact or effect I have in improving the sustainability of the things we are not getting any more of - or no one is making a newer version or model of - air, water and land. It's a revolution of ideas - one of change, to repair the planet. How would you do it and what contribution can you make? Wishing you all a wonderful fall and enjoy the colors. Always be the best....
Un Abrazo...
