Now we are really on the countdown 3 ✌️☝️for the end of the year. Let’s make GRATITUDE a thing in 2020 let’s make it our ☕️ coffee of every morning, practice it and believe in it. You are perfect where you are, you are growing as you need to, the pace is yours. Own it. Be happy with what life has given you. When I first came to the US I would have never thought I would make it to almost 20 years here. . First off... I’m a considering myself a New Yorker B**tch! 💥 🍾🌟I sat this morning with ☕️ and took it all in. I am grateful ✨ for everything that surrounds me, the people especially. Things come and go. The friends I have made, online and offline, for a minute or a year, for work or leisure. If I could have a New Years 🎉 party and invite everyone I have met that would be the 💣! What will you practice more of next year? 🤔 .

They fell asleep 💤 next to the tree 🎄 , we carried them downstairs and then Santa 🎅 came and rang his bells and left his 🎁. We woke up to strings all over the house that led each girl to their presents. And at the end a present for both to share. ❤️ Christmas morning it’s my fav. ☕️ and family . . #fashionforgood #modaparabien #ayudaavenezuela #andreinatakesnewyork #venezolanosenelmundo #raisingthefuture #happiness #feedthechildren #nycmom #mamalatina #aidforaids #barriguitallenacorazoncontento #venezolana #nycgirls #fashioninny #raisingfundsforvenezuela #christmaslights #raisingmoney #christmasspirit🎄

Gifting 🎁 is one of my favorite things about Christmas 🎅 🎄 NY is the most beautiful place this time a year and I am so happy, blessed and thankful that that my girls and I have decided that for every comment, share and save of this image we will donate 0.25 cents to two of our favorite foundations. @aidforaids and @barriguitallenacorazoncontento As you know I emigrated 19 years ago from 🇻🇪 Venezuela, I never thought it would get so bad. I never thought I wouldn’t be able to go back. The political mismanagement to say the least has darkened our countries future especially of the children who are the future. 😔 . . Tag your friends so they know that we are all getting together to give back to the communities that need us the most this holiday season. 🎁 🎄 🔔 so I am going to steal this idea from a friend on IG because it’s just the perfect way to give back. 😁 Thanks @andreinavalderrama for this great idea to help Venezuela! . #fashionforgood #modaparabien #ayudaavenezuela #andreinatakesnewyork #venezolanosenelmundo #raisingthefuture #happiness #feedthechildren #nycmom #mamalatina #aidforaids #barriguitallenacorazoncontento #venezolana #nycgirls #fashioninny #raisingfundsforvenezuela #christmaslights #raisingmoney #christmasspirit

That is a peace sign guys! 😂 doesn’t look like it, but yes! Make peace with yourself and your age. I came to the realization that the only thing I don’t like about my age is my newest wrinkles. Isn’t that amazing!? The only thing! So really to all of those who are turning the big 40 be brave and make peace with your body and make friends with those wrinkles and little silly things. You are older but much wiser. ❤️ . . Your 20’s is to rock and roll, make mistakes and learn from them. Your 30’s are to plant all the seeds for all the trees and 🌸 to grow and your 40’s are to harvest all that you planted! Who is with me!!!!!???? . . #lovinglife #heart #love #loveyourself #mefirst #nyc #fashion #streetstyle #creative #makeithappen #friendship #life #moda #nyfw #womensmonth #venezuela #incharge

When I was in high school I went through some major bullying. I was very self conscious, I had very low self esteem, I rarely padded myself on the back for anything I did, I always doubted myself, I was an introvert and I was going nowhere. Life happened. My parents moved me to France to learn a new language where my life took a turn for the best. I made it take a turn for the best. I stepped out of my comfort zone, I took a major risk that led me to finding my true authentic self. A corky, fun, loud and very positive me. I learned about connection and connecting with others, I learned how to work on my self esteem and love myself no matter what, I learned that I if I put my mind to something and give it my all I would get to where I needed to go. After a undergraduate degree in photography, an MFA in photography and art and two kids and a husband later I have settled into my me the way that I always wanted. I started working in fashion, writing for magazines and newspapers, started an interview show on YouTube, started a company to help small businesses strive with good content and be as mind and helpful as I know how to do. I embarqued into a motivational speaking career to spread good vibes, teach people how to connect better and inspire others to do the same. Last Saturday I spoke for the first time In front of more than 120 women of all ages, backgrounds and careers, and I felt that I finally found what I was looking for. I have never felt so humbled by people coming up to me and telling me their stories and how they connected with mine. I did it! I can’t wait to share with more and more people of all ages. Now I will start some serious coaching and my goal is a TED talk before this year is over. It’s a big goal but I know that if I work hard I can do this. Funding the coaching will be a serious part for me but the Universe will conspire with me as we are partners in crime to make it happen. #icansoidid #sweepstake Revlon . .

Creative people are curious, flexible, persistent, and independent, with a tremendous spirit of adventure and a love of play. Creativity is the way She shares her soul with the world. Tezza Is not your common denominator in this world of celebrity/model/influencer status. She has gone through her own ups and downs. Is the founder of a special foundation that brings music 🎶 to children who are in hospitals fighting deseases unimaginable to most of us. 🌈 ❤️ We should all be looking at this type of true “influencer” who uses her beauty and ⚡️spark to make things, and really change the 🌍 little by little with all of her creative self. Soul is soul is soul. Impacting others is what we should all aim at doing. . She has launched her newest creative self with a beautiful collection with INSPR that tells her story, her side and shows her full on creative mind at work. They gave her a true platform to really go from drawing to finished product without loosing herself and her ideas in the process. I hope I am always a part of anything that has to do with women like this. Happy to spread her joy. also super proud of @joannaslh for being that person who believes in the creative process. . . #latinamom #speaker #mamalatina #nyc #love #tezzacollagekit #laraalcantara #fashion #foundation #style #nycstyle #publicrelations #insprny #photographer #life #create #creativity #feelgood #beyourself #lovealot

Jedi . The most important source for the Jedi Way is Taoism, an ancient Chinese philosophy whose name is generally translated as “the Way” or as “the Way of Nature.” The two main goals of Taoism are to achieve balance and to exist in harmony with nature (and with all living beings). There is no deity as such in Taoism, which conceptualizes ultimate reality as a primal energy. This energy is expressed in the world in the form of two equal and opposing forces, the “yin” or passive female force, and the “yang” or active male force. These forces are neither good nor evil, and what is desirable is that they be in balance at all times. . . . Keep believing in what you are doing. Don’t look at your sorrow dings and what others are doing. You need to focus. . . . #life #medidate #create #beyourself #jedi #force #femalefutureforce #womenpower #momboss
