An Angel’s Visit

Since I was a little kid, I often had angels visiting me in my dreams. During these visits I always received advice or comfort, which for the most part have been engraved in my mind.

Last night I had one of these visits…
I was taken by a group of people to meet an elderly woman in what seemed to be a church.
“We will be going to see a saint that wants to talk to you,'' they said to me. I asked, “Who is this saint?” “She is a 110 years old, a lady who wants to see you,” someone responded.

When I approached her, I saw a fragile woman, that stood up with the aid of two women.
When she saw me she smiled at me with warm kindness, like she had known me for a long time. She was pleased to see me and I felt her benevolence​ even from a distance.

She turned around to talk to my kids —at that moment I realized that all of my kids were next to me.
Then, she began: she turned towards Daniela, “Daniela, pon tus miedos a un lado, tienes tantos planes, tantas ideas, emprendelos sin miedo.” (Put your fears away. You have so many projects and ideas; undertake them without fear.)
Then, she turned to Gabriel, “Tienes un camino, no te distraigas” (You have a path to follow, don’t get distracted.)
Finally, she went to Isa, “Tu padre te da machete todos los días porque te quiere. Tu eres una aventurera sin miedo y eso es lo que a él le asusta, que te aventures muy lejos” (Your father is tough on you everyday because he loves you. You are not afraid and always looking for an adventure; what scares him is that you will go too far.)

When I woke up, I kept my eyes shut and recalled my dream; enjoying the moment and absorbing it so I won’t forget. After my period of reflection I proceeded to write it down —something I always do so I wont forget my dream.
Still laying on my bed, I asked myself who was this beautiful angel that visited me and why was it important to know her age, 110 years old?
Suddenly, it became clear, Abuelita, my grandmother, a very religious and spiritual person, the most beautiful soul that I have ever met was born 110 years ago today —October 3rd,1909. On her birthday, she came to celebrate it with our children and while having a ball, she passed on some of her wisdom; a truly memorable celebration.

Gracias Abuelita, we all miss you.

Beautiful. In times of great confusion, it’s great to know there is someone in the beyond looking out for your family. Really profound!

    Who I am today as a person is largely due to my failures!
    Failures are the speed bumps in life that matter!  They are not regrets but small disappointments that wake up the strength within us! Failures are the process of learning and improving!  Without failures we simply are at a status quo!  

    "success is built on many failures..."
