Finding Your Inner Truth: A Journey of Self-Discovery
<p>In this heartfelt and introspective episode, I share some of my personal journey of discovering what it takes to "know" the right thing to do. I reflect on my 34-year marriage and how I learned to rely on my inner guidance rather than external advice. In this platica I emphasizes the importance of self-trust, patience, and recognizing one's own truth, drawing upon life's experiences and the concept of living with intention.</p> <p>The episode invites listeners to explore their inner knowing through various creative mediums and acknowledges the fluid nature of life's truths. It ends with a message of gratitude and an invitation to engage in deeper conversations about self-discovery and inner guidance.</p> <p dir="ltr">00:00 Introduction and Gratitude</p> <p dir="ltr">00:55 The Journey of Self-Discovery</p> <p dir="ltr">05:10 The Right Thing to Do</p> <p dir="ltr">06:01 Personal Story: Marriage and Family</p> <p dir="ltr">10:52 Understanding Your Inner Guidance</p> <p dir="ltr">17:21 The Dance of Knowing</p> <p dir="ltr">22:32 Exploring Your Own Creation</p> <p dir="ltr">24:19 Conclusion and Final Thoughts</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>What Does It Take to Know the Right Thing to Do?</p> <p>Have you ever found yourself wrestling with the question, “What’s the right thing to do?” If so, you’re not alone. This question has followed me throughout my life, from my childhood in a large Catholic family in West Texas, through my early marriage, and into the work I do today.</p> <p>For a long time, I believed the “right thing” was something outside of myself—something I could find in a book, a statistic, or someone else’s advice. I remember, early in my marriage, sitting across from my husband with a stack of books and statistics, convinced that the numbers said we should get a divorce. But instead of a fight, he gently closed the books, took my hand, and said, “Let’s make dinner.” Thirty-four years later, we’re still together, and I’m grateful every day that we trusted our own path over someone else’s predictions.</p> <p>The Truth Is Within</p> <p>What I’ve learned is that the “right thing” isn’t a fixed answer or a universal rule. Life is always changing, and so are we. The right thing for you today might not be the right thing tomorrow. It’s not about reaching a destination, but about following your own guiding star—your sense of purpose, your intuition, your heart.</p> <p>We each have our own truth, shaped by our experiences, values, and unique perspectives. Honoring that truth means listening deeply to yourself, even when it’s uncomfortable or uncertain. It means recognizing that your journey is yours alone, and that’s what makes it beautiful.</p> <p>How Do You Know?</p> <p>So, what does it take to know what the right thing to do is? It takes trust in yourself. It takes grace, compassion, and patience. It takes the willingness to explore your own world, to experiment, to make mistakes, and to learn from them. Sometimes, it’s as simple as pausing, tuning in, and asking, “What feels true for me right now?”</p> <p>There’s no single formula, no one-size-fits-all answer. For some, the journey might feel like climbing a mountain; for others, it’s floating down a river. The important thing is to keep moving, keep listening, and keep learning.</p> <p>An Invitation</p> <p>If you’re struggling with a big decision or just feeling lost, I invite you to practice listening to your own knowing. Journal your thoughts, take a walk, create something, or simply sit in silence. Notice what resonates, what makes your heart dance, and what feels like “home” inside you.</p> <p>Remember: the right thing to do is already within you. Trust yourself, and let your journey unfold.</p> <p>If this reflection resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts or continue the conversation. </p> <p>Until then, keep exploring, keep creating, and keep trusting in your own unique path. We forge it, because if you can see it clearly it's likely not yours, it's just a trail left behind others who've walked in the same direction.</p> <p> </p> <p>Dios Te Bendiga</p> <p>Vivi</p>

Asi Es La Vida
<p>In today's world of endless scrolling and momentary interactions, a rare gem of wisdom can sometimes grace our screens. It was during one of these limited scrolls that I stumbled upon a heartwarming post—a gentleman highlighting his father's personality. It took me back to cherished memories of my grandmother and the wisdom passed down through my dad’s anecdotes. It made me pause and reflect on the narratives I choose to elevate in my own life.</p> <h3 id="the-power-of-words">The Power of Words</h3> <p>Growing up with four sisters and a brother, I realized from an early age how the same event could appear so different through each of our unique lenses. Despite sharing experiences, we were each an entire world unto ourselves. As I navigated through years of education and various life paths, it became evident that understanding the layers of miracles within and around us was an ongoing endeavor. Fascinatingly, figuring it all out remains elusive, but that doesn’t deter my pursuit of meaning.</p> <h3 id="a-hand-to-hold">A Hand to Hold</h3> <p>Life, as you know, is far from devoid of challenges. Everyone carries traumas, small or significant. However, reaching out for help or offering a steadying hand can make all the difference. That’s my reason for being here—to extend a metaphorical hand through this effort. Though limited by time and space, my voice aims to provide comfort and support.</p> <h3 id="navigating-life-like-a-captain">Navigating Life Like a Captain</h3> <p>In directing our lives, we hold the power to shift course, much like a ship's captain avoiding unseen icebergs or steering toward breathtaking sunsets. We narrate our own experiences and possess the agency to choose what we ingest, both literally and figuratively. Recently, certain habits—like green juices and endless cups of tea—have nourished my body, mind, and heart.</p> <h3 id="the-courage-to-connect">The Courage to Connect</h3> <p>With guidance from moments of inspiration, I find the courage to step towards this endeavor, embracing the inherent vulnerability it involves. Aligning with one's true purpose creates an effortless flow, where engagement nourishes rather than depletes. Right now, I sit in a comfortable chair, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the legacy of those who’ve come before me.</p> <h3 id="an-invitation-and-a-reminder">An Invitation and a Reminder</h3> <p>Let us take a moment—reach out with your palm up, as if to connect with an ancestor or ally. Envisioning this connection is deeply nourishing. It’s a simple act to remind ourselves of our inner strength and the support available to us at any time. For me, acknowledging this interconnectedness is especially crucial when life's challenges feel most daunting.</p> <h3 id="embrace-what-is">Embrace What Is</h3> <p>As we part for now, remember—a guiding phrase that encapsulates much of my existence is to "give it all you've got." That’s just the way it is. Until next time, I am thankful for having found my way to your heart through your ears, and as you go forward, may you know there are numerous ways to connect with me.</p> <p>I welcome your prayers and assure you that you remain in mine. Be well, give what you can, and cherish this life.</p> <hr /> <p>May this message find you when you need it most, and serve as a gentle hand to hold in your moments of reflection and need.</p> <p>00:00 Reflecting on Wisdom and Social Media</p> <p>01:28 Curiosity About People and Experiences</p> <p>02:54 Navigating Life's Challenges and Seeking Help</p> <p>04:56 The Power of Agency and Healthy Habits</p> <p>06:45 Embracing Courage and Alignment</p> <p>08:28 Connecting with Ancestors and Allies</p> <p>11:08 Final Thoughts and Gratitude</p>
