๐ช๐ธ ~ ยกHola a todos! โ โจ ยฟHa pasado un tiempo verdad?, ยกun mes completo sin aparecer por aquรญ! [me duele no poder publicar en Hive, me lastimaaa!] โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
He pasado unas semanas re difรญciles en diferentes sentidos, el tiempo se me escurre como agua entre las manos, todo sucede demasiado rรกpido y hay muchas cosas que quiero compartir.
Pero antes de empezar con la avalancha de actualizaciones para que tu y yo nos pongamos al dรญa, llego a รบltima hora al Concurso #217 de la Comunidad "Ladys of Hive" que como siempre nos trae estupendos tรณpicos para hacer comunidad y hacernos reflexionar con una saludable dosis de introspecciรณn ๐ซ ๐
๐บ๐ธ ~ Hello everyone! โ โจ It's been a while, hasn't it?, a whole month without showing up here! [It hurts me not being able to post on Hive, it hurts meee!] โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
I've had a really hard couple of weeks in many ways, time is slipping through my fingers, everything is happening too fast and there are a lot of things I want to share.
But before I start with the avalanche of updates for you and me to catch up on, I'm coming at the last minute to Contest #217 from the Ladys of Hive Community, which as always brings us great themes to build community and make us reflect with a healthy dose of introspection ๐ซ ๐
โฆ To accompany this post I will use pictures of my last shopping trip before Christmas โฆ
Las metas y los proyectos son cosas diferentes, desde mi perspectiva, una meta es algo por lograr y un proyecto es algo por construir y que implica mรกs pasos; sin ser demasiado ambiciosa y procurando ser realista, aprovecharรฉ esta dinรกmica de LOH para reflexionar, y enumerar 2 metas y 2 proyectos que me gustarรญan como objetivos para 2025.
Goals and projects are different things, from my perspective a goal is something to achieve and a project is something to build and involves more steps; without being too ambitious and trying to be realistic, I will take advantage of this LOH dynamic to reflect and list 2 goals and 2 projects that I would like to have as goals for 2025.
โฆ In my city there are different styles of โbigโ shopping malls, some of them more beautiful and โfineโ, but I really like this one called โCentro Comercial Ciudad Chinitaโ; it brings back good memories of my childhood โฆ
Meta # 1 - "MEJORAR MI ESTADO DE SALUD" - La verdad sea dicha, a finales de 2023 y todo 2024 dejรฉ de hacer ejercicio, el doctor lo prohibiรณ por la lesiรณn que sufrรญ en la espalda y he perdido gradualmente fuerza y resistencia. Estoy decidida a mejorar eso y re-incorporar a mi rutina mis 2 horas de ejercicio diario; hay muchos proyectos, colaboraciones y viajes pendientes para mi, y para poder realizarlos necesito recuperar esa buena condiciรณn fรญsica que tenรญa y cuidaba tanto.
Goal #1 - "IMPROVE MY HEALTH STATUS" - Truth be told, at the end of 2023 and all of 2024 I stopped exercising, the doctor forbade it because of the injury I suffered in my back and I gradually lost strength and endurance. I am determined to remedy this and re-introduce my 2 hours of daily exercise into my routine; there are many projects, collaborations and travels ahead of me, and in order to accomplish them, I need to regain the good physical condition that I had and cared so much about.
โฆ The decorations this year were very nice, although nothing compared to other more glorious years before the economic crisis โฆ
Meta # 2 - "EQUILIBRIO FINANCIERO" - Todavรญa estoy acostumbrada a colocar en segundo plano mis necesidades (como mujer, ya sabes, nos educan para cuidar a otros), me gusta resolver problemas y encontrar soluciones de lo que sea que se presente en mi entorno, pero por eso mismo tiendo a tomar esa parte del dinero que deberรญa ser para cuidado personal (cuidado de la piel, vitaminas, medicinas especificas, visitas al doctor) para resolver otras situaciones.
Goal #2 - "FINANCIAL BALANCE" - I am still used to put my needs on the back burner (as a woman, you know, we are raised to take care of others), I like to solve problems and find solutions to whatever comes up around me, but because of this, I tend to take the part of the money that should be for personal care (skin care, vitamins, special medications, doctor visits) to solve other situations.
No soy tacaรฑa con el dinero y lo veo como un recurso que es para ayudar, no para acumular, pero serรญa mas responsable de mi parte si respeto esa parte de mi dinero que deberรญa invertir en mi salud para poder envejecer saludablemente, y no sentir culpa al tratar de ahorrarlo (extraรฑo mi "fondo de seguridad" de 5 cifras ๐).
I'm not stingy with money and see it as a resource to help, not hoard, but it would be more responsible of me to respect the part of my money that I should be investing in my health so I can age healthy, and not feel guilty trying to save it (I miss my 5 figure "safety fund" ๐).
โฆ I remember that this shoe store was already known when I was 5 years old, that is, it has been around for at least 30 years and it is great to see them active today, even after the pandemic that made so many businesses go bankrupt โฆ
Proyecto # 1 - "LA APERTURA OFICIAL DE MI TIENDA DIGITAL" - En notas anteriores he compartido detalles sobre mi proyecto de tienda personal, "Maneki Blue", y aunque la cuenta en Instagram estรก en eterno hiatus, sรญ he fabricado y vendido exitosamente varios artรญculos: El problema con mi proyecto de tienda no es la mercancรญa porque esa la fabrico yo al 100%, el problema ha sido encontrar el tiempo para poder sentarme y preparar ordenadamente todo lo que necesito, "ยฟpero quรฉ necesito que no he podido concretar?" ๐
Project #1 - "THE OFFICIAL OPENING OF MY DIGITAL STORE" - In previous posts I have shared details about my personal store project, "Maneki Blue", and while the Instagram account is on perpetual hiatus, I have successfully made and sold several items: The problem with my store project isn't the merchandise, because that's 100% me making it, the problem has been finding the time to sit down and cleanly prepare everything I need, "but what do I need that I haven't been able to nail down?" ๐
La lista de compra de materiales al por mayor, la impresiรณn de las etiquetas de tela de la marca, los diseรฑos de las publicaciones con las instrucciones de compra-venta, compra de la lรญnea telefรณnica exclusiva para atenciรณn al cliente, y quiza lo que considero mas importante, finiquitar la comisiรณn de la mesa especial de costura que quiero para mi nuevo espacio de trabajo.
The shopping list for wholesale materials, the printing of the branded fabric labels, the design of the publications with the buying and selling instructions, the purchase of the exclusive telephone line for customer service, and perhaps most importantly, the completion of the order for the special sewing table that I want for my new workspace.
Estoy segura que en 2025 podrรฉ lograrlo, pero debo organizarme seriamente, ademรกs, estuve muchos meses enferma y coser enferma es muy difรญcil. Quiero ofrecer productos de calidad que hagan felices a las personas y duren muchos aรฑos de uso, no estoy dispuesta ni remotamente a hacer un trabajo mediocre. Buena noticia, de muchos artรญculos ya tengo listo los moldes y patrones definitivos.
I'm sure I'll be able to do it in 2025, but I need to get seriously organized, besides, I've been sick for many months, and it's very difficult to sew when you're sick. I want to offer quality products that make people happy and last for many years of use, I'm not even remotely willing to do a mediocre job. Good news, I already have the final molds and patterns for many items.
โฆ After shopping, some things I did before Christmas was to help prepare Christmas dinner for the workers of the residences where I live, and to wrap many Christmas presents hidden so that the children who still believe in Santa Claus wouldn't see them hahaha, it's fun every year to run like a ninja and hide the presents in the houses of the parents who hire me to wrap toys at the last minute โฆ
Proyecto # 2 - "FORTALECER MI CIRCULO SOCIAL" - Todo esta conectado, literalmente. Por los mismos temas de salud que repito tantas veces, he tenido que ausentarme de muchos espacios, de muchas reuniones, e incluso declinar grandes oportunidades y ofertas de trabajo (a finales de aรฑo tuve que dejar ir un proyecto con promesa de comisiones valoradas en 5.000$ porque no estaba en condiciones de trabajar y cumplir los plazos de entrega).
Project #2 - "STRENGTHEN MY SOCIAL CIRCLE" - Everything is connected, literally. Due to the same health issues that I repeat so often, I have had to miss many rooms, many meetings, and even turn down great opportunities and job offers (at the end of the year I had to turn down a project with a $5,000 commission promise because I was unable to work and meet deadlines).
Extraรฑo mucho a mis amigos y tuve que sacrificar este aรฑo todo lo social, para poder recuperarme y atender muchas emergencias. Hoy ya estoy mejor, asi que uno de mis principales proyectos de 2025 es ser mas social y estar mas presente en la vida de mis seres queridos, personas que admiro y proyectos que quiero apoyar.
I miss my friends a lot and I had to sacrifice everything social this year in order to recover and attend to many emergencies. Today I am better, so one of my main projects for 2025 is to be more social and present in the lives of my loved ones, people I admire and projects I want to support.
โฆ Oh, and this year we were able to renew the entire facade of the house with a paint mixed with other ingredients that will make it more durable; I missed painting the house at Christmas โฆ
En 2023 hice mucho alboroto con el tema de los propรณsitos incluyendo un largo ritual de "Propรณsitos para Aรฑo Nuevo".
ยฟEsa vieja lista la logrรฉ en 2024?, si y no, digamos cumplรญ un 70%, la verdad no me quejo porque este aรฑo siento que crecรญ mucho sin importar las dificultades, soy muy fuerte y me siento despierta y capaz.
Espero todas logren sus propรณsitos y metas de 2025, mis mejores deseos para la comunidad y mucho cariรฑo; hoy estare descansando y disfrutando de escribir la รบltima lista de "to-do" de 2024 โ ๐ ๐ช
In 2023 I made a lot of fuss about resolutions, including a long ritual of "New Year's resolutions".
Did I achieve that old list in 2024?, yes and no, let's say I achieved 70%, I am not complaining because this year I feel I have grown a lot regardless of the difficulties, I am very strong and I feel awake and capable.
I hope you all achieve your resolutions and goals for 2025, my best wishes to the community and much love; today I will rest and enjoy writing the last "to-do" list of 2024 โ ๐ ๐ช
