My life is centered around service to the Baha'i Faith. I love participating in study circles, and am presently tutoring two Books in Santa Cruz and a book in San Julian, which I visit a couple times a monyh. I am also enthusiastically supporting this cluster in its expansion phases, attracted by the openness of the people to the Faith, expressed by their interest in participating in study circles or devotional meetings, then declaring their belief in Bahá’u’lláh. On a more personal level, I frequently participate in online courses that contribute to my growth. One I found especially helpful was “Speak and Inspire” by Lisa Nichols that helped me develop more self-confidence and to speak more from my heart. A normal day will usually find me working on the computer, as I am engaged in translating some of the books I have written in Spanish into English and publishing them on Amazon. Although I am not a party person, I have a few good friends and love going out to dinner with someone a couple times a month to share what we have been learning and doing, or getting together occassonally with several for a potluck, conversation and informal dancing. I usually spend 4-6 weeks a year traveling, visiting my children and at times participating in workshops on personal growth or special Bahá’í events. Although I am not fanatic about what I eat, I tend towards fruits, salads, chicken and fish, with only occasional carbohydrates or deserts. The one exception is chocolate! I swim several times a week when it’s warm, usually in a pool, but in the ocean when I am visiting my son in the Dominican Republic. I also lift light weights to help keep in shape, since I want to continue being active and serving until I’m 100!
