INTRODUCTION ------------------------ Life is a spiritual journey. Where it is told through social media. Social Media is everywhere. If you spend enough time on social media, you can sure see that it has made a case for itself that it is the quality of life that makes the difference. That's the whole point of it. Marketing is everywhere. There are products that are a witness to the events that enlighten our lives. Including people vouching how wonder life is or can be with blah, blah, blah. Like, ba, ba, ba when you are counting sheep or la, la, la when you are from la, la land. Whatever it may be. The most important thing to remember is that it is not lorem ipsum, it's the content that counts and how we present it that matters. . . .is there a plot, theme or rite to passage that needs to be told in order to teach a story? Storytelling is what it is all about. At the storyline products and/ or services can be sold through those stories and journeys they take. When working with social media, ask yourself these three questions; How does Social Media interact with the story. This requires us to get more involved and to be more social with the world. Take notes on what does that feel like. How can we make it better or does that mean that we just enjoy it for what it is or is not. Tell the story of how the journey got dreamed up and created. Where did the vision come from. To some people, that is almost more important than telling the story, if not more. How does where, what, why, when and how fit into the equation. As we gather our data, where is social media used to keep track of the journey? Break it down into intricate details. Then tell it as we remember it or want to remember it. Choose the angle and perspective as to how you view the journey, details and life. As I embark on my social media journey, I hope to learn a little bit more about the world. I'm sharing my life notes and the homework I did there. With Poems and words or wisdom to inspire. Using words and lyrics to create songs and making screenplays to create stories that are worthy of movies on the big screen. Creating a media/press kit as a marketing tool for the theme of my social media journeys. I'm Not saving my money for a rainy day or some future date. I'm going to use my Celtic,Magic,Money to make today count as the beginning of a new and exciting life for you. You are going to mark as a valuable asset to your life's journey. Gonna embrack on your journey and make it count like no other day has. The beginning of something new. It's gonna be amazing. Don't waste any time and start from here on out. For inspiration, I still like to use some pencils, markers, pens and paper to post my ideas down before I create them and come up with a theme to work with. I can pin them up on my bulletin board and use them as a reference to look back on or forward. Some of the resources I use to jot down my inspirations come from these stationary companies: (they are available from their website or from Amazon.com) Eccolo Ltd. - www.eccololtd.com Elum Designs - www.elumdesigns.com The Clementine Studio - www.theclementinestudio.com Shop Lady Jane - www.shopladyjayne.com Shop Studio C - www.shopstudioc.com Paper Destiny - www.paperdestiny.com Papyrus Online - www.papyrusonline.com Today my life is about, my dreams. Trying to figure out which dreams I have yet to fulfill. Wondering if I've accomplished everything I set out to do. To see if my mission and calling were fulfilled through the dreams I dreamed up for myself. Leaving my dreams behind, like pieces of the puzzle, working their magic for me, even when I'm gone. A little sad to "remember how hearts were broken", when we fell in love with life. Instead of staying focused and grounded on our work load. We got so high, sharing our stories. As we told our tales, we sang it with an acoustic guitar saying, "You Were Meant For Me" - On Point - WBUR (can be seen on YouTube). Praising the people and family who made our journey all so worthwhile. But that's how we learned about life and our God above. Where God stands for something greater than we know life to be about. Now all is left is some Celtic, Magic, Powers to use to create some Cetic, Magic, Money. Maybe it will create an empire for you, or conglomerate, trust fund or perhaps even a scholarship fund. TheTEam - www.bonitavida.com/TheTEam.htm. Coming up with business proposals and ideas every which way but loose. If you did your job well, you dreamed it up with Social Media and read about it as you relaxed in your comfort zone. Delving deeper into the woods of your dreams. Into your quiet place. I'm writing letters to myself at my campsite. Taking notes about my travels and journeys. Reflecting upon life and prayer - www.bonitavida.com/ReflectingUponLifeAndPrayin4PEACE.htm. As the Gauchos of Argentina did before me. And my grandfather and his father and his. Jotting down notes with key words, phrases like scrabble, scribbles and riddles. Doodling. As if to create a nursery rhymes putting them to music. Set it aside to remind me that my journey is to the spirit of a beautiful life - Bonita Vida Inc. Therefore, our business plans will not only have a game plan but also a holy spirit to go with it. To bless it beyond its years. With magical and mystical powers that came from above and beyond. Making friends with the spiritual world is always a good thing. Friends are hard to find and even harder to come by. Such as those of the gods and deities above from the great empires of Roman, Greek, Viking and Medieval etc. In addition, I will be able to have the cosmic energy from fairytales to UFO sightings can perform their magic tricks. CMV: Frosty the Snowman (Jimmy Durante) - MarioSonic2010. Putting their creative powers to work like Santa and Mrs. Claus. Judging everyone so that they can find the right gifts to help them along with their mission in life. Miracle on 34th Street. Even God and Mother Nature with their three sons could lend a helping hand. As they say, my three sons and wives: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Oldest, always have all the responsibilities. Sacrificing themselves all the time for the sake of the family as Jesus did with his cheerleader by his side, like a Cleopatra. Powerful in her own right, in her rite to passages. The middle child, Mohammid the messiah he's the middle child syndrome has his "florcita" - Born of the fresh, fragrant scent of flowers. Is her herself a flower child woman spreading love and peace by his side. The youngest, the Devil of the three brother's is spreading happiness by having lots of good wholesome fun with his virgin wife the Virgin Mary. That's the corporate talk I created for my journey to have and for my company to be about. There is No sibling rivalry there and No misunderstanding on the roles each other plays in life. It's not set in stone or in black or white and for that matter no even a gray line to it. It can be part of one big picture where one either has it all at once or you don't. When we say, God Almighty it's all understood that God is working with his wife Mother Nature or the forces of them. The same goes for when you say A la Almighty above, it includes everything that is above us. A good corporation does that as it presents itself to the board in the boardroom. Where in the board game you get to meet and learn more about the roles that go with a certain type of job. Just like in a board game, you get to that spot on life by working for it. There are no shortcuts in life only shortcomings. Cheating doesn't get you there. That's about shoots and ladders. Cheating only helps you imagine you are there and the work is so much more from that point of view. Those are learning lessons that go with life and the ones we get from doing our daily life schedule. Once we understand what life is about, we can get a job there on our side of the grass. The grass is not greener on the other side because there ain't any over there. There are High times. A Redneck's or Redman's dreams. Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides - 11/10/1978 - Capitol Theatre - Rock on MV, can be seen on YouTube. Thanks to a friend of mine from high school, who I know this song. It's like part of my a la Mata from high school. Living abroad and growing up overseas, I moved around and went to various schools growing up, so this one special significant meaning. Lots of love, hugs and kisses from me to them and all of you. xoxo. I first got into the business world using my networking skills. I was savvy and quoy. I even used my social graces. They proved invaluable. I worked on my social media skills. Left no stone unturned. From being a rockstar, to a movie star to even sometimes a superstar. No task too small or difficult for me, being born a shooting star. For a Star is Born. That's why social media proved to be so valuable. It helped make doing my homework and research a lot easier so I could do my job. While I was learning to communicate, I took advantage of debate and speech class and used them to be my tools. They were my pencil and ruler. With my pen and notebook in hand, I jot down my goals in life. Creating money for me like Treasury Bonds & T Note Documents for my happy place. I put that money that I created, in my TD Bank account. The T is for Treasury Bonds and the D is for T Note Documents. I tried out my networking skills at my happy place, like at the local ice cream social. Went to my happy place, Sunny Daes ice cream - www.sunnydaesicecream.com, for my daily dose of happiness. Get Social media, social media strategy & tactics for leaders by Michelle Carvill and published by Kogan Page. Kindness is my passion. Always trying to compliment people. With, that person is lovely. I like to be polite and nice so people know that That's what I'm about. I also like to be be remembered in that manner when I do business so that they know that that's the business I'm in. Taylor Swift Asks Anna Wintour 8 Questions - Go Ask Anna - on the Vogue channel of YouTube. "I'm sweating everywhere." To be more fluent in the English language and better able to communicate with others, I needed to do my research. Do a mathematical equation and get answers from there. Adding pieces of the puzzle, like a good table of contents - www.bonitavida.com/toc.htm. Digital Branding, a complete step - by - step guide to strategy, tactics, tools and measurement by Daniel Rowles, published Kogan Page. Sailing through some smooth waters as I go from one business project to another. Staying away from stormy weather. Waiting for a beautiful sunny day to feel the sea breeze upon me. Giving me the affirmation that the job is important. First, I take a look around to see what's going on around me. Next, I try to see if there is anything around me that is part of my story that I can be with it and be a team player or an asset to it. With that information, I'm ready to get a closer look at my World. Before I go any further I check to see how my sails are doing on my sailboat. Once I've made to shore, I go on any interviews, meetings or other social event I want to. These experiences will teach me what I need to know to find out what all the different companies stand for and how they got their name and logo. I ask myself, do I fit into their image and how? What outfit would I wear if I was to represent them in a meeting? Jewels Performs "Silver Nickels and Golden Dimes" At Howard Steven's 2014 Birthday Bash. In order to answer these questions first one needs to ask yourself the following: Do you know what the logo of the company stands for? The logo could either be a company or school emblem that stands for something significant. It could also be a way to identify yourself. Make it a way of life or lifestyle to make your money. Do you know what the company stands for and what it looks like? Could you describe it to someone else in your own words from your perspective? If you like, delve deeper and you can use these questions as learning exercises as part of a social media project. Does a product you see on social media fit into a certain category of a particular logo or corporate identity? Is it a no brainer and you are just testing the waters of what is still yet to come your way or has it already come and gone and you like what you see. Can you describe what it is that you like and is it enough to market yourself or a product you like. Is it a commodity that can be traded anywhere in the world, a stock is traded on the stock market and a bond does best in after hour trading. Is it a variable that keeps changing or is it a constant or abstract and infinite. I like to think of it as Woody from Toy Story is continually changing to get to his mission accomplished where Buzz lightyear is either a constant or abstract job from here to infinity and beyond. Disney's Toy Story 2 trailer can be seen on YouTube. Are you concerned about whether you have misinterpreted a message or had that been a helpful experience that taught you more about what's going on in the world. Is it teaching you how to communicate via social media or are you learning via your investments. Enjoying being in the moment teaches more about ourselves and our world than thinking about it. What makes us happy and comfortable is always a win win situation. We are being true to our heart and soul. Makes us feel like we are doing our job right. Now that we know these truths to be self evident, we know that we are comfortable in a world that is constantly changing. Here I am dreaming about the things I can do with my life. That's the first process of creating my Harvard - www.harvard.com case study. When the Lord calls upon us to action, you don't know where it's gonna take you. . It's like retail therapy. Where you first dream it. Then you feel and experience it. The vision that it creates for your comes from the things that you want to buy for self indulgence things and items you want to wear. I got the whole world as my stage. Here I am looking at a world atlas. With my magic globe, I have the world in the palm of my hands. I'm miles away from either my home or work office. I've got my mobile office with me by carrying around my smartphone. Miles Away. Like on the YouTube video of Madonna, Miles Away. If you can dream it, you can create it. We are going to dream it up with social media apps at our home office and create it with our tools in our work office. Seeing only lines and numbers, it's an MIT - www.mit.com Institution think tank experience. I have set my social media apps on my tablet screen to be designed to be my home office desktop. If you want you can follow along using either a tablet or smartphone, or any other android machine, laptop or desktop computer. All your other apps will have to be stored in the App folder. If you are using an android, you can store some of your other apps on another screen. Any other android device will do. In order to get more expensive, and create a special experience, we are simplifying our lives - That's why we have chosen to arrange our social media apps in a specific order. The point of it all is to have fun as if we were playing a video game. In a gaming format. The layout resembles that of of a numeric pad of a touchtone screen on a cell phone. On the cell phone keypad there are three vertical and three horizontal rows. Each item will be replaced by a different social media app. The first vertical row, holds the numbers 1,4,7. The YouTube app is set on the number 1 spot, Instagram app is on the 4 spot and the Pinterest app is on the 7 spot. These apps are my creative visualization apps Tip: Even though may music & video clips on YouTube are free to watch, you can pay subscribe and pay to use YouTubeTV to watch television on your desktop. The second vertical row, with the numbers 2,5,8 the middle row holds the apps Chrome, Facebook and Vimeo accordingly. These apps are my remembering apps. The second vertical row, holds the numbers 3,6,9. The LinkedIn, Twitter, Tumblr. These apps are used to create a visual picture. I have Instagram app on the number 3 spot, the Tumblr app on the 6 spot and the Twitter app on the 9 spot. Together, all these apps create a special social media experience that allows us to dream up a World that we would want to live in and invest in. Note: Your App folder can look like a Bingo board. With all the apps a visual display representing a space on the board. These apps the the ones you download onto your system that you need to use for your daily activities. Tip: In your App folder you can download the SlingTV app - www.sling.com and pay to watch television on your desktop. You can also download the Elevate app to use as a personal brain teaser. You can watch a video clip on the app on Elevate channel of YouTube, Elevate App Preview. Note: If you are working with a desktop computer you will not a camera app at the bottom of the screen as we do. You need to have either a tablet or smartphone device in order to have one. To the right of the camera app we have the email icon and the App folder and to the left of the camera icon we have, The Weather Channel app - www.weather.com. Now that we have gotten used to our home office layout of social media apps and love the game format idea, we are going to recreate the format and make a work office desktop layout to work from. As we swipe left we move onto another screen. That's the screen we are going to create our office desktop. If I swipe right on the Samsung tablet - www.samsung.com, I am at Flipboard - www.flipboard.com reading the headline news. I am using my tablet to be put on the top of my Work office desktop. I have all the tools that I need to take a mental note of where we're at when all our dreams fade away. First I start with the top row with the Date, Time and Year in this order using the Calendar, Clock and Settings icon to represent this information. On the next horizontal row I have the Memo, Flashlight Galaxy and Docs icons. I use the Memo pad to write notes to myself as if they were stickies. Got my flashlight in case of any emergencies. I have Google docs to write my business proposals and letters to correspondent clients. On the third row, I have the Gallery, My Files and Calculator icon. I set my alarm on my cellphone to wake me up. Just woke up from a dream. . Now I'm all set to go do my work for the day. Taking a visual intake of the days news. I see in my calendar if there is any important events scheduled for me to do this week. I got the time, day and year set for the next big project coming my way. Driven, by Success. Every Gesture Counts - Episode 1: Empathy (can be seen the YouTube, Michelin channel). For the perfect drive, Film 30s Chapel film trailer..(can be seen on the CHAPAL1832 channel of YouTube). So absorbed in my work. I'm gonna go anywhere it is taking me. Got my GPS set for Success. Knowing that no one else can do the job that I'm doing so well, I'm happy doing the job well. All set with my mobile office. With my cell phone with social media apps and a tablet to use for presentations when I don't want to carry around a laptop or have access to desktop. I'm off to show my presentations I've made with Adobe Photoshop. The ones I learned reading these books, Fundamental Photoshop, published by McGraw Hill and Adobe Premiere Pro published by Wiley & Sons. Both written by Adele Lorraine Droblas and Seth Greenberg. I'm going. Me Voy - Paulina Rubio ft. Espinoza Paz. When people ask me for advice, I say to them I got my plan of action but I don't have a master plan yet. It's a work in progress. I still have to make choices and work with them. Then I say, the way I decide what choses to make in life is to say to them, if you had a million dollars in my hands, would I make the same choices I've made in my life. Is there anything I could or would do different or better? By imagining that I am holding that money in my hands, I can think more expensive than I did yesterday when I had that many bills to pay. Now I can pay my bills and I'm even. Took a load of my back and I can see where the silver lining is at. The next question I ask myself is there anything I can think to make my life better. Trying to come up with some good ideas to make my choices better ones. Ones that can create a future for with the skills I know. Trying to find the best possible outcomes and make the most of what of it is like a statistical math equation. It takes time to come up with all the possible ideas, possibilities and outcomes. What would you do with your life if you had all that data? Would you make the same choices you've chosen. Some say yes, others say there is still room for improvement. Others say, now that I got that money I can leave it there to grow and see what I want to do with my life. Now that I've made myself my million and don't have to work for that. Put in the bank account and watch it grow. How would you water your money or plans? What decisions would you make to help nurture it and watch it grow. How would you make more money, based on the fact that you want to stay and feel rich. Knowing you have that money in your bank account puts your mind at ease and let's you forget about all that social stigma that goes with it. Now you don't have to work for it. You just have to figure out how to live like you're a successful being. Would you still think as you do now or could you come up with more sophisticated ways of living and ways of making choices. Could thinking more expensive make any changes in your life? Now, you have a game to play with your social media sites. Here are the inspirational quotes that you are gonna want to use as you surf the internet and social media sites. "If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it" William Arthur Ward. "Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen" Ralph Waldo Emerson. "The world of reality has its limits, the world of imagination is boundless" Jean-jacques Rousseau. "Make your life a masterpiece, imagine no limitations on what you can be, have or do" Brian Tracy. "This world is but a canvas to our imagination" Henry David Thoreau. LEADING UP TO THE STORY ------------------------------------------ I just woke up from an intense moment in my life. Last night, I found out I married the wrong guy. I married my best friend. As it turns out, actually the guy that I was in love with, has been in love with me all along. To my surprise, I thought he was self absorbed and only interested in his work. He told me this last night, at a dinner party. During cocktail hour I thought I was having the time of my life. Mingling with everyone, laughing out loud, telling jokes and making conversation with all the right people who are important to my life. All of a sudden I find myself taken by this fellow. As he speaks to me, I hear nothing at all. I only fantasize about him as if I am in a Victoria's Secret 'A Night Of A Thousand Fantasies commercial and wonder what it would be like to be with him all night long. My husband, in the meantime can't believe that his good friend was so preoccupied with his wife. Maybe it was the Brooks Brothers dress I was wearing that was hiding my insecurities. www.bonitavida.com/BrooksBrothers.htm. Making it look like I was ready for more than I am normally ready for. I was dressed to play the part, but not yet experienced enough to do so. Normally you can just ignore these kinds of moments. Manos Al Aire - Nelly Furtado. But I'm not sure that's the case this time. My body and soul told me otherwise. Either way, I've got some things to sort out in my head. And the worst part about it is that my husband this morning told me he didn't have to go into work today. That he has the day off and is anxious to spend the day with me. He says he wants to take me shopping and then out to eat. I want to spend a lovely day with my husband, but I still can't get this guy out of my head. Maybe shopping will do the trick. Anyways, my hubby is calling me. He's telling me that my coffee is ready. "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" - Ricky Martin & Christina Aguilera. All I can think about is that, "It's morning time and I'm wondering what I'm going to do." Jewel - Goodbye Alice in Wonderland Live Meyerson Symphony Center. Symphony for the devil, like a sympathy @ Carnegie Hall in NYC or Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, telling jokes. Did you get the joke? It's a good Polish joke not a Jesus Christ Superstar song. That's where the Lord has a sense of humor. It's a story about a country girl. Being raised as a farm girl. Trying to figure out what she's going to do with her life beside play softball and ride horses. Of course that's all she ever wanted to do. I'm happy / Estoy Contenta - www.bonitavida.com/EstoyContenta.htm. The way a pregnant woman feels. That she is happy knowing she is giving new life to the world. Tu y Yo Volvemos Al Amor - Monica Naranjo. A beautiful gift. The rest is like a bonus that comes with an expense account and hopefully a promotion. What's it going to be for me?! Going on ice cream socials and on a date? What a day that's going to be. Being raised Texas, cause It's just like being from where I'm from in Argentina. www.bonitavida.com/BlackTop.htm. As my date and I say good-bye and good night, we say to each other, ain't no Lone Star State no more. As we reply, yuh or duh. There is still so much more to the two of us. Alright we got ourselves something special. Come On Over (All I Want Is You) - Christina Aguilera. Got whatever I want and need with my YouTubeTV subscription. That's going to make us some money from here to that lone star. Sssshhhh. The secret is in, don't tell anyone else while we're daydreaming or dreaming while I'm sleeping at night or at nap time. Already being bred to be born a girl of the new millennium. Going out tonight. Waiting On You - Lindsay Ell. The one my grandaddy and his daddy and the rest of the forefathers worked so hard for. The angels sing to me now. Inviting me to earn my wings here. Including wings and a unicorn for my horse. Who could resist the devil calling upon me to do my work here. Cause this ain't no 4th of July picnic where dreams are made in heaven here on earth. God's Country - Blake Shelton. This is real hard, labor type work. Baptized in the Holy water got myself a deed to the land. Very fashionably, you put on your cowgirl boots and put your entire body on overdrive, not four wheel drive. Singing your happy tune, as you help tend to the horses and do your chores on the land. And it hurts like a bitch, but it feels oh so good to be that bad and that good. Which one are you, bad or good? Or a little bit of both. Whatcha gonna do Now? Find myself a place with a ranch to ride horses and sing about it all day and then go to the recording studio and record it for safekeep, so you can wear it around your heart on a locket for a good luck charm. Hoping love will come your way some day. Proud of who I am and what I've becoming living my life through the dreams that were planned for me, before I knew about them. Orgullosa - www.bonitavida.com/Orgullosa.htm. In the meantime, today I'm going to live for Me! Janine - Ya No Mas. I talked to an investment broker about my ideas. A person I had met through my granddaddy. Jes Staley, CEO of Barclays Bank. I Went to see if I could get a loan for that type of business talk. Did some show & tell. Showed him the places I was interested in while I also spoke to the listing agents. They entail me doing some traveling. I think I can handle that. Plenty to keep me busy and out of trouble. Bar Ten Creek ranch has 460 acres. 2391 W Fitzhugh Rd, Dripping Springs, TX 78620. Listed at $30,000,000. It has horse barns and stalls, swimming pool, is near Austin, TX.

Green light to follow my dreams. Yellow light for them to come true yet and definitely a red light for to much self indulgent. I'm young and free like the Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful soap opera if the 80s. Ready to take on some financial responsibilities and start a business. Dancing under a Latin Moon. Irresistible - Jessica Simpson. Gotta start somewhere. In love with you, luna mia / my moon. It shines so bright for us all. Enamorada De Ti - www.bonitavida.com/EnamoradaDeTi.htm. Might as well start from a place one is familiar with. It's 6 am. Time to wake - up and start my day and continue to be Ms. Responsible. Like the one Tom Petty sings about in his song, Free. Active service. I'm here to serve. Just like my war hero, grandaddy - W.B. Mason. A country fellow who wrote poetry, played the guitar and sang both at church and in the great outdoors. Pleasing the souls of family and friends. Being country, is as important as can be, because It's about being real and true to yourself. It can be important to go to church to mingle and socialize. Doing your share of Social Media. I liked all the singing at church and the spiritual part of it. Unwritten - Natasha Bedingfield. Not much into the religious part of it that tells you what and how to do it. My Grandfather's youngest brother, Carlos Gardel had a church in South Carolina that I used to love to go to with my Auntie, Dolly Parton, his daughter. We sang and prayed that it's gonna be alright and OK. For the longest time, I kept asking What's going to be ok? Finally I got a real answer and figured it out. As if it was the hardest question on an exam and I figured I aced it cause I learned they were talking about the crops and harvest. And when I meant aced it, I was kidding. Because I kind of got partial with those four aces in a 52 deck of cards. I was either playing poker to get 4 aces and a wild card and those could fetch me a straight or a flush. When I played blackjack, an ace of spade got me whatever else I might needed. To make sure I was going to have a happy year ahead of me. Hoping it would be a good year. Pa Mama YO - Natti Natasha. A happy and good one. Full of praise and joy to be thankful for. Joy and Regis remember them. Regis, Dolly's brother is related to me also. Hello Dolly it's so nice to have you back again. As Burt Reynolds looks at her and says Hello to her in, The Best Little Whitehouse in Texas. Anyways, since my roots extend to Europe, I got some melting pot going on in me. From different religions to ethnic cultural backgrounds. I feel like I got the world at my fingertips. One thing I learned from church is that, no matter if you are rich or/and famous, "I stay real". Jennifer Lopez - Jenny from the Block, you can't change the weather channel and have it stop from happening. You can't live your dream in a paradise, or be ruler of your universe, if the weather channel isn't cooperating and on your side. All you can do is measure your universe with a ruler on a map. You can though, buy some time and help get to a better time where the weather is good. You can feel almighty and powerful if the weather and time is on your side. King for a day - Thompson Twins. In the limelight and spotlight going down dirt roads and backroads. Our Celtic roots tell us that with our Celtic Magic at work on our dreams we can hope that there will be money to be made ahead and maybe even all year long. With some happy times to look forward to. Thinking about how important the Earth is in our lives. We have to praise it and give it some TLC, tender, loving care to help it stay and be positive. Then give back to us that type of energy. Save the Earth. Love our Planet. That's real money. Celtic.Magic.Money. We are so grateful and happy for the little things. For even the basic things like food on our table has a special journey. There is so much that goes into that process. On the farm, one with nature is where I learned my holistic healing techniques. How food can be used as medicine to your brain and body. Part of a healing therapy. Now I can watch how the weather affects the price of some commodities, soybean, corn, oil or gold. Thinking about how oil could be made from corn or how solar or wind energy can be so powerful as to save us money and put us into the future in a big way. In addition to having indoor greenhouses preventing bad weather ruining crops. It is interesting to see how we, as humans can work with technology, time and weather to be more profitable and efficient for happy lives. In the meantime, I'm working on creating my future engagement ring. Hoping that the man of my dreams will connect with me on a higher level. As the cosmos speak to him and me. The vibrations of the Earth are stronger than the two of us. The beat and the rhythm of the earth dictate our future. As a dictator from a Spanish speaking country does, so the riches of the Earth stay untapped by man.

My passions led me to discover new lands and new languages. I did a lot of soul searching and became in contact with a more spiritual way of living. Practicing the art of meditation and working with positive energy. I learned more about my World than about myself. The quality of my life paved the way for me. Dreaming about better days, I worked nonstop, around the clock to soak up the sun rays waiting to watch a beautiful sunrise at the beach. Talking to my boyfriend my business partner about a few other investments that has perked our interest. Including two right near our home. An antique.

A $9,995,000, 8 acre retreat built in 2008, with horse stables, chlorine-free granite swimming pool, tennis, 12 bedrooms, 15.5 bathrooms, 9 fireplaces and gym. My boyfriend and I spotted this place one day as we were going for a drive. We talked to the listing agent, Enzo Mirabito from Douglas Elliman Real Estate - www.elliman.com about our plans on making this place a home office away from home. And here we are. Ready to do my job. I feel rested after a well deserved, long relaxing vacation weekend at Nantucket, Massachusetts. I'm glad to be back at work. At my home office - www.bonitavida.com/GettingDownToBusiness.htm, I first check my email to see if I have any new information I need to know about or any new material I need to address. Then on Twitter, I read all the news that's currently available from the people, places and things I am following. If I want to read about a specific topic, I can type in a hashtag, a topic preceded by a number sign, such as #daytrading or #wealth - www.bonitavida.com/Wealth.htm. Next I go through all the paperwork that I have on Google Docs format, Word or PDF format. I find what are the most pressing topics of the day. Thinking about whether I want to, HOLD * BUY or SELL - www.bonitavida.com/HoldSellBuy.htm. Then I check out all the social media sites to see if anything catches my eye. I surf the internet. Then check, LoopNet (www.loopnet.com) and Zillow (www.zillow.com) for available commercial real estate. What catches my attention is this 1923 store front building. I love the idea of having an old brick building from the past as a place of business. I wonder what the building was once used for. It reminds me of the family store I grew up with in Buenos Aires, Argentina. There you could find some expensive clothes for women and men of polo. Terrified of losing my self identity - www.bonitavida.com/Terrified.htm and not be able to fit into and walk in my Jimmy Choo - https://us.jimmychoo.com shoes. The building is on 105 Newtown Lane #107 in East Hampton. I could have my family store from Argentina, Norway have a presence in the USA. That's where I met my boyfriend. My family and his family both had a ranch with horses, cows and other animals in the country. He would come to the store to buy his suits for work, His business meetings. I would be in the store with my grandfather, already dressed up in my business clothes. My grandfather owned the store. We would come in from the country to take care of business for the store. One day, when my boyfriend came to pick a suit out and modeled it for us we told him he looked so handsome and professional. He asked him if he wanted to be the male model for the Men's store while I was to be the woman model for the woman's store. He agreed. We immediately put him to work. There was a fashion show the store was gonna put on and have sponsors be there. Tickets were sold to raise money for local charity events and a car was raffles of to the ticket holders and more. Also a band. Occasionally I also got up to sing with the band. Already versed in antique and vintage decor I could help preserve a part of history if I make this deal. I call the listing agent, Tony Cerio from Brown Harris Stevens and talk to him about my plans. I pass the phone over to my boyfriend so he can be in on it and put his magic touch on it with me. With the scent of Polo Black Label. As if it were the scent of daytime in the country and night together. One scent being absorbed into another. Creating a mystical and magical aroma of nostalgic days gone past. From moments of polo matches where beautiful people are dressed so elegantly and expensive. Everyone waiting in suspense to feel the energy of the polo matches begin. Wondering who's gonna win and who's gonna be the next Nacho Figueras. As I work my magic with the scent of La Prairie Midnight rain. Next on my agenda, I focus my attention on looking at the stock market and more things that are sure things. I spot the ones that have potentials and take note of the things that have chances of moving upwards instead of downward. I take into consideration that depending upon how you view things there will be different outcomes.Taking those factors into consideration, I'm making sure my investments don't spiral down onto a downward trend. The suspense is too strong that I need to find ways so they stay up and strong. It's important to be comfortable with your investments and with the things they do in the marketplace. Getting my Celtic, Magic, Money. Happy knowing that my money is creating new venture capitals and investments. Including R&D, research and development. By lunch time, I am a more educated investor even if I don't invest my money anywhere here in this moment. At least I'm getting valuable information to know how to invest wisely and have a long term backup plan to invest in. With my research there I will be able to know whether my money will lose its value with time. It could either depreciate with the currency exchange rate, lose its value with inflation and be less valuable as things begin to cost more and me maybe being part of the problem there if I'm a bad investor or with recession I could be out of luck with the economy going flat. I want my money to be more expensive and be with the rich & famous. Because that's what I want to do. I want to feel like I've done a job well done. Made a lasting impression and made a big fortune. Wanna be a Billionaire. Tracie McCoy - Billionaire Ft. Bruno Mars Official Music Video. I'd have my own show and be on the cover of Forbes magazine - www.forbes.com.

My boyfriend, wears Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren. I want to feel expensive like a La Prairie fragrance commercial. In the mood for love. La Prairie presents Arielle Dombasle in Life Threads Silver - Episode 1 - LifeThreadsLaPrairie, seen on YouTube. Now that we are in the right mood, we jet off to eat at our favorite restaurant, The Palm East Hampton - www.thepalm.com in my boyfriends car, a porsche - www.porsche.com. Classic and timeless like him. My boyfriend and I start of with a good bottle of French champagne brut Veuve Clicquot - www.veuveclicquot.com, yellow label with the colossal lump crabmeat cocktail and jumbo shrimp cocktail. We share it between the two of us my business partner and I talk business and prepare for our business meeting. Then we just chit chat about the polo gossip column. How Prince William and Harry play a polo match for charity. As I surf my smartphone, I load onto the screen the articles by People magazine www.people.com and Vanity Fair www.vanityfair.com about the events to share with my partner. By the time we are ready to order lunch the rest of our party has arrived. We politely greet our potential clients. Walter W. Bettinger, CEO of Charles Schwab - www.schwab.com and Charles W. Scharf, Chief Executive Officer of the Bank of New York Mellon - www.bnymellon.com (Dreyfus is now a part of this company). See if they want to order a bottle of champagne or wine and what type of appetizers they want. Then we talk about their trip to the Hamptons. We all agree how lovely it is. Fortunately it's a lovely day. At the Palm - www.palm.com, restaurant in East Hampton, we are so grateful to be there. We have been here before, when we were younger with our forefathers. Appreciative of this magical moment we sip or champagne and toast to our success. As we proceed to order our dinner. I ordered the Broiled Jumbo Nova Scotia Lobster and my boyfriend has the Filet Mignon. With a side order of baby kale salad and fresh asparagus. What would you choose to have as your main course and side dish? For desert, I have the iced carrot cake and my boyfriend has the New York style cheesecake. It's such a happy, pleasant moment. Everyone at the table is happy. After they have had something to eat and drink we start talking business. We know we can make the deal happen. We just want to make sure they are comfortable when we present our business plan, part of the master plan. We share our business model strategy that we have worked so hard on. The book, Business Model Generation by Strategyzer - www.strategyzer.com, proved to be valuable in creating the plan. We explain to them that we have had so much fun with Polo, that we feel there could be room for virtual polo at restaurants, casinos and theme parks. There already is virtual golf - https://golflounge18.com and places to go to play virtual golf - https://trugolf.com. CT Virtual Golf, Players Club Virtual Golf, Bobby TV's, Oakwood Virtual Golf, and Urban Golf NY etc. Read about at www.golfdigest.com. Golf could even be viewed as polo without the horses. We could start with a grand opening, close to home in CT, at the Mohegan Sun Casino - https://mohegansun.com. There we could have available different types of wine from Argentina, our special blend of Martini with different flavors, Kentucky Bourbon, a citrus liqueur and sparkling drink plus food and other products sold with the Bonita Vida Inc. logo. Such as clothes and souvenirs sold in the shops at the casino. The logo is on the main page of the website - www.bonitavida.com. As you have desert, the big question here is; Do you want your piece of the pie or do you want to stick with us and become a valuable player. Do you want to work hard and become an expert in your field and find a position in the company as it moves up the corporate ladder and becomes a multinational sensational conglomerate. One that is worth its weight in gold. An Empire of the New millennium that is approaching us. We are going to estimate that our empire is gonna reign in its domain from 2020 to 2040. After that we are of the future. No longer of the past or present. It's a whole new ball game. With no boundaries. That's what we are working for to be a part of that new world that is approaching us. Having a more intimate and special experience with our lives. What a vibe. Cheers! It's Bible Study time.

For a business meeting in downtown Wall Street - www.wallstreet.com. We avoid the traffic, by taking a helicopter ride there with Zip Aviation - https://zipaviation.com. I call up my good ole friend, Adena Friedman, president of Nasdaq - www.nasdaq.com and tell her we are coming into the city and staying at the Four Seasons Hotel NY Downtown - https://m.fourseasons.com, that we want to meet her there and CEO of JP Morgan - www.jpmorgan.com and Chase - www.chase.com, Jamie Dimon about a future business plan. They are friends of mine, that I made in my college days when I was going to the University of Michigan - https://umich.edu. We wait for them, in the lobby to arrive. Then we go to talk business at CUT by Wolfgang Puck - https://wolfgangpuck.com. There is such a variety of choices that everyone is happy. As we talk to our friends, we tell them we have been in the horse business for so long that we've come up with some ideas to do business. As I talk Arena about how we discussed over lunch at Bergdorf Goodman - www.bergdorfgoodman.com during tea time how it would be a good idea to think about a business idea with Polo. Since it's so expensive. She actually encouraged me and my boyfriend inspired me and my friend Jamie was always good at listening to my past ideas. My boyfriend and I shared with them our business idea. We are ready to share our business idea about polo. We feel that there could be a spot at the Epcot theme park at Disney World - https://disneyworld.go.com that focusing on Polo. There could be an amusement park ride for people to see an animated polo show in live action. What do you think? Do you love the idea like we do? Yes it's good?! Thumbs Up! We say to them as our introduction, to our next thought. What do you think about our idea? It could be great! Right?! At the World Showcase countries there could be a spot to show off how great Polo can be. Emphasizing the food (including empanadas and dulce de leche - www.bonitavida.com/DulceDeLeche.htm) and culture of Argentina, just like Texas and some other places that it is all about horses and polo. The main attraction of this exhibit of course would be horses. How amazing the adrenaline is during horse races, polo and equestrian riding. Since, I really horses, I decided that the focus should not only be about polo, but also on horse races and equestrian riding. This exhibit's amusement ride, could start out where you see animated people buying tickets to the horse races. As the ride moves on, the animated horses are off and begin racing. It's all so much fun. You yourself are riding on ride that looks like It's from a carousel. As you watch the race slowly end the ride steers you right to a polo match. You know you are watching it, almost like real on an IMAX screen watching the crowd so excited cheering on the horses and polo players. Then the ride gradually fades out into greener pastures as you see the animated people and horses riding equestrian and jump in 3D. Closing out the show with all the badges, ribbons and trophies won there on display with the hit song in the background, Wild Horses from The Rolling Stones (Acoustic / Lyric Video) can be heard and seen on YouTube. "Wild, Wild horses couldn't drive me away." How appropriate this song is for me, because that's the horses I trained to ride equestrian and jump, polo and horse races. The money I made there went to feed that type of country lifestyle with the best horses to ride, ranch with cows and a farm to grow organic food. As you exit the ride, you enter a gift shop full of lots of memorabilia for sale. Including treats, awards from the horse events such as ribbons and much more. We get their response and comments. It seems that they are in on it and on board. We go on to present a second idea. Now we are going for seconds. I'm thinking, the food is so great here that I want to order a second meal and take it in a doggie bag to my hotel room as a midnight snack. I order a hamburger. I have had such a craving for a good all American burger. I feel like an American Ad. Coming from Argentina, I love Texas! - Paris Hilton Carl's Jr Commercial 2014 in the Paris Hilton channel on YouTube. While the food is cooking we talk some more. We explain to our friends that maybe having a presence for Argentina and Iceland at Disney World Epcot and Animal Kingdom wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. Already it has going for it, is that Argentina is on the southern hemisphere, on the other side if the northern hemisphere divided by the equator. It's literally the last place before you reach the Antarctic. Also we notice that, Iceland is the last place before you reach the Arctic. Where dreams are made off from like in the movie, Polar Express with Tom Hanks and Robert Zemeckis - Movieclips Classic Trailers. We were wondering since there is such a good deal of focus on the Rainforest - www.rainforestcafe.com maybe there could also be one on the Arctic and Antarctic with the natural habitat and animals there. It seems like it could be a unique kind of way of telling an amazing story. One where people would want to check out. It's a great way to educate the public. The Story could come from the point of view of Olaf's adventures, Disney's Frozen - https://frozen.disney.com. His adventures start within frozen atmosphere of mystical and magical natural wonders. After we have exchanged notes and talked about everything wonderful we think could be done to brighten and enlighten the world, we say good-bye and say we will stay in touch. The next morning we head off to the World Trade Center - www.wtc.com. A historical, NYC landmark. As we stroll, we check out all the financial institutions. With a visit the heart of Tribeca. A place that reminds of my roots from my home in my Latin world. As I tap my magical Ruby Red glass slippers I say, "There is no place like home." As Dorothy did in the Wizard of Oz. The original slippers can be seen in the American History museum - https://americanhistory.si.edu. My modern day slippers are some glitter shoes from Kate Spade. They can be as simple as some sneakers to more flashy and fancy like pumps or booties. We feel like the Boss in our Hugo Boss clothes - www.hugoboss.com. As we walk the streets we feel that we have taken a step back in time. The cobblestone streets are glimmering so bright from the yellow sun shining on it, as if it could be the yellow brick road. The historical red-brick commercial buildings have been converted into residential lofts with boutiques and restaurants on the ground floors. Reminding you of a scene from the past. As I walk, I'm taking pictures of history and selfies of me and me and my boyfriend. The snapshots caught as if they were photographs from a polaroid. Putting all the photographs together with by a stitch in time. Making a quilt of artifacts from the past telling a story. Or using the pictures to create a flipbook to animate the story. A few videos are taken to get a feel of the moment. Tribeca is the place of the Tribeca Film Festival - www.tribecafilm.com, presented by AT&T. #tribeca2020. Also, it's a hop, skip and a jump from the hip, Soho, Greenwich Village and Chelsea neighborhoods. The following day, we put on some comfortable clothes.

It started with horse-drawn carriages and candlelight and ended with automobiles and electricity. It is the reign of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom." You can read more about this stone and others at Gem Society - www.gemsociety.com. The color of the garnet stone is red wine. Not quite the color of a red ruby but a more Bohemian version of it. It happens to be my birthstone for the month of January. You can find jewelry made of this stone on Etsy - www.etsy.com website or Google it to find a store near you. For more information on jewelry from ancient Eyptian jewelry to contemporary you can visit the MFA, Museum of Fine Arts - www.mfa.org, in Boston, MA.
