I've got a new boyfriend... and he comes with better rates and unlimited calls and texts!!!

That was the e-mail I received from one of my beloved friends. When I read the sentense, "I got a new boyfriend" I got really happy for her, every body knows how importatn it is to have a boyfriend you can feel good and have fun with, but as I continued reading I began to laugh on myself. It was not a man, it was a Cell Phone what she got. But that is the way it is, we carry our cells with us all the time, we transmit our emotions with other people when we use it. The truth it is: cells become very important in our daily life, they have a very special place on our side, so it is not extrange to treat them in a very special way and introduce the new one as our new boyfriend. Good for you friend...

"Once independent, always independent"
That supose to be an inspirational sentense but unfortunedly not every body understand what independence means. There is a lot of people out there beggining what they called "their own business" they do that because they are sick and tired to be working for another person "The boss" without being able to earn the amounts of money they really need to survive. Watter is almost covering their noses, they barely can breath in the financial world. They are simply survivors. They think the only thing they need to do is to begging something in their own. What really happens is: They move from one place to another willing to be their own boss, to do things in the way they want to do it and manage their time in the way they want to.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahaa!!
Look at you, Aracelys! You come to this country barely speaking English and now you have your own website AND a BLOG and a zillion websites... all which require extensive writing in English!!! I am blown away (that means shocked) but so proud of how far you have come. Do you realize that people who speak ENGLISH cannot write their own content for their websites because they cannot articulate themselves well?

And look at you!! You are SUCH A HOTTIE!!! My beautiful, black sistah... all I can say is that Jonathan is a lucky man.:-) You radiate energy in your pictures and it rivals the energy that one feels when they speak to you or when they meet you. There is no contradiction about you... from the way you talk, to how you interact and engage people, even how you photograph - your bright spirit is undeniable.

I really want to share this amazing letter I received recently from a young woman (Who I don't even know) from Rwanda in Central Africa. There are people living very unfotunate situations in life but still hoping for something better. For people like this all my consideration and respect. God bless...I do not think her name needs to apper here, the story and her words are what really matters.

July 22nd 2008

How are you doing this beautiful day Aracelys ! I hope all is well with you . Friendship can not be measured in terms of material value, nor can it be explained through our use of language, it is a thing that is felt deep within the heart, where no words can ever come close to the truth.

I want to assure you that Color, Race, Religion, or Nationality makes no difference to me . What I see in people are their Personality and Character .

I had a nice family which I lost during the war that took place in my country some years ago when the rebels attacked our house one early morning and killed my father and mother in cold blood.

It's was only me that survive this tragedy because I wasn't around when it happened.

I am Calm, Joyful, Honest, Sociable, Intelligent, Romantic, Kind and Tender. I enjoy Traveling, Having Rest on Nature, Meeting with Friends, Swimming, Tennis Game, Poem, Driving, & Going to the Beach . Also I love all kinds of musics,mostly R & B, Blues ,Hip Hop etc. I am a Simple & understanding 24 years old girl who Cherish ,Honesty, Tolerance , Love , Care and Friendship.

Adversity or oportunity?.

It's a questions I make myself when something looks wrong to my eyes

After reading words like these all I can do it's to feel myself "grateful until my bones". There is no doubt that it must be a real "Plan for you girl" your strenght will allow you to see the way to "move on" in life and to find what is neccessary for you to do what you are mean to do.

For all the people that lived similar situations on the past or are still living it I send all my energy, love and prayers in this very moment. I wish all of you enough wonderful things happening today and the days to come. You desserve it. Yes, you desserve it...

Who motivates the motivator?

This is a very interesting question. There are people ready to motivate and to inspire others all the time no matter what, that is awesome. Every single word they use shows us their intention to help others to grow up and move on in life. This is the case of Jaqueline Stone.

One little comment on my guest book with the next message " Aracelys, what a wonderful creation you have here. The openness, love, and compassion flow through the page. It is a joy to meet you! ", opened the door to me and I accepted the impulse to get to know her better, because only a wonderful person can find wonders in other people's work. Only an open minded person can understand openness in others. Only a Loving person can feel the love others have to offer. So I went to her page entitle: "Smiles and Smileys! Spread the Joy!". When I first read about her I was so please. Her simple style that brings words from the botton of her heart to our retins first and our hearts then got me inspired since the very begining.

Then I went to visit other pages from her list of lenses in squidoo, but the one named: Who is Jacqueline Stone? honestly colled my attention

Impresive...! Every body has troubles we know that. But not every body stands up with openness, love, and compassion, Jaqueline did. You are oustanding Jaqueline...!You are a powerful inspiration for millions of women living similar situations who don't know how to get up from bed or where to find the energy they need to move on after a horrible situation like "a separation from the men they love".

I have been married only for almost four years, with an extraordinary man, by the way.Even though, whenever he needs to leave in a business trip, I can feel that strong sensation of emptyness very deep inside my stomach, I can not move for a while, my energy goes away. So I perfectly understand what women feel whe we are in love. Even if love is not too much, after being married for a period of time, it must so painful to be abandone. We need time to heal ourselves,lots of time in most of the cases. I don't know how much time you needed Jaqueline, but I know that for somebody to be able to get up after a separation, with the possibility of loosing the house, on top, is simply not easy.

So at the time I was reading your article, A beautiful image of you was takinf form inside my head. I was seing a very strong and illuminated woman, full of creativity and good taste for the best things of live, smart but compassionate at the same time, ready to help others sharing with generosity. I saw a woman ready to move on, with the freedom of time and love to do the things she is mean to do and she have'nt done yet. And the most important thing a woman ready to put herself first in life. A woman perfectly capable to raise her children with a healthy mind setting, and a woman ready to make plans on visiting the places she still wants to know. I saw Jaqueline "The powerful one" "The unique" "The valuable" "The unstopable" I saw the REAL YOU and I loved that perfect image. God Bless you Jaqueline Stone and thank you for existing in my world...

Oh, Aracelys, I don't know what to say!

Your words about me on your lens brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. In spite of everything, there are still times that I doubt, that I wonder if my work matters to anyone else. I wonder if it is wise to share so much of my life and struggles. Just when I think I should not say so much, someone tells me that it helps them when they can see how I have dealt with my challenges.

Don't worry too much about the spelling and grammar. Most of us understand that these things do not translate easily from other languages to English. I've seen more mistakes from people who have grown up with the English language! If you are concerned about it, use a spell checker. For me, it is the message that comes through that really matters, not the format.

I am looking forward to building a friendship with you.

I wish you a joyful, beautiful week.
Jacqueline
