CIUDAD / VILLE = “CITY” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about the top 10 biggest cities in the world.

I have been to number one on the list below and it was when I went to visit my best friend from my time in the military.

It was a blast and the most different place than anywhere I have ever been.

Everything was different and I mean everything. The food, the culture, the look, the feel, the language and the people.

I was able to see things I will always be grateful for most of all my friend and his generosity as a host.

I am speaking of Tokyo, Japan and like I have mentioned previously, I hope to one day return with you to see for yourself.

I would also like to one day visit Mexico City which is also on the list below and which I have also previously mentioned.

Here are the top ten biggest cities in the world based on population as of today:
1. Tokyo, Japan – 37,036,200
2. Delhi, India – 34,665,600
3. Shanghai, China – 30,482,100
4. Dhaka, Bangladesh – 24,652,900
5. Cairo, Egypt – 23,074,200
6. São Paulo, Brazil – 22,990,000
7. Mexico City, Mexico – 22,752,400
8. Beijing, China – 22,596,500

CHIHUAHUA / CHIHUAHUA = “CHIHUAHUA” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about my favorite type of dog the Chihuahua.

You will notice that Chihuahua is spelled the same in English, Spanish and French because it is a proper noun which is a name or place and Chihuahua is both a name of a breed and a place❕

I have had two chihuahuas (Sigfreed and LaLa) both mentioned on our blog in previous post and 8 if you count their pups (Arlington, Kratos, Amada, Baby Sigfreed, David Lee and Sergeant Pepper).

I have many fond memories of the chihuahuas in my life and I am grateful that I got to know the breed and will likely one day have another chihuahua in my life.

Although chihuahuas are small they have a big personality and are very loyal companions.

Sigfreed would usually sleep with me every night and I would tax him some kisses before crawling under the blanket.

Here are some interesting facts about the Chihuahua:
1. Smallest Dog Breed:
Chihuahuas are the smallest dog breed in the world — some weigh as little as 2 pounds (0.9 kg)!
2. Ancient Origins:
They trace back to the ancient Techichi dogs kept by the Toltec civilization in Mexico around the 9th century.
3. Named After a Mexican State:
They’re named after the Mexican state of Chihuahua, where the modern breed was first discovered in the 1800s.
4. Big Personality:
Despite their tiny size, Chihuahuas are famously bold, confident, and sometimes even a little bossy — often called having a “Napoleon complex.”
5. Long Lifespan:
They live a long time compared to many breeds — often 14 to 17 years, and some even live into their 20s!
6. Two Coat Types:
Chihuahuas can have smooth (short-haired) or long-haired coats. Both types are purebred!
7. Warmth Lovers:
Chihuahuas naturally love warm weather and often seek out sunny spots or cozy blankets because they get cold easily.
8. Apple vs. Deer Heads:
There are two common head shapes: apple-head (more rounded skull and shorter snout) and deer-head (slimmer skull and longer snout).
9. Big Eyes and Ears:
Their oversized eyes and ears aren’t just cute — their hearing is exceptionally sharp for such a small dog!

INSECTO / INSECTE = “BUG” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about the Praying Mantis.

The Praying Mantis is one of my favorite creatures for many reasons. I remember seeing them when I was a kid and because it was such a rare sighting it felt special in addition to how much different they are than other bugs.

Still to this day it is rare to spot a Praying Mantis and still to this day it feels special to see one.

Here are some interesting facts about the Praying Mantis:

1. **“Praying” Pose**
They hold their front legs folded up the way people fold their hands when they pray—so that’s how they got their name!

2. **Super-Swift Strikes**
A mantis can snatch its prey in about 1/50th of a second—that’s faster than you can blink!

3. **Head Turns**
Unlike most insects, a praying mantis can turn its head left and right—almost like you can—so it can look around for food and watch out for danger.

4. **Great Garden Helpers**
They eat garden “pests” like flies and aphids, so they help plants grow strong and healthy.

5. **Cool Camouflage**
Many look just like leaves or flowers—this helps them hide from both predators and curious bugs.

6. **Big, Bug-Eyes**
Their large, compound eyes give them excellent vision—kind of like having two tiny video cameras!

7. **Winged Flyers**
Some mantises have wings and can fly short distances, gliding quietly from leaf to leaf.

Here are some images of different types of Mantis:

What is your favorite thing about the Praying Mantis❔

GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

GOL / BUT = “GOAL” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREA T with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about goals.

I have many goals and I would put them in 4 categories.

1. Daily Goals
2. Short Term Goals
3. Long Term Goals
4. Open Ended Goals

I am going to speak to each goal and share with you a few of each type of goal.

Daily Goals are goals or tasks that I intend to do everyday. Sometimes goals can take time in order to achieve however some goals can be achieved upon waking up if for example a goal is to wake up at a specific time and you do this. Some daily goals feel like they take the least amount of work but some of these can also take the same discipline required to achieve a long term goal. I have a morning routine and on the days I honor the routine I more often than not establish a momentum that can be present throughout the day that is not available otherwise.

Short Term Goals can be any amount of time that mentally feels achievable without a commitment of an amount of time that makes the time required not being the most difficult aspect of the successfully completing the goal. An example of a short term goal would be to get a specific minimum grade or higher in a class over a semester of school. 16 weeks can seem like a long time but compared to 128 weeks it seems much more manageable having 16 weeks likely containing less unforseen challenges emerging than 128 weeks.

Long Term Goals are the type of goals that the time required in order to achieve the goal mentally feels like the most difficult aspect of successfully completing the goal. An example of a long term goal would be an advanced degree achieved over many semesters that would include many short term goals being successfully achieved along the path to achieving the long term goal as well as overcoming unforeseen challenges that may have emerged over a “long” period of time.

Open ended goals are goals that intend to be life long or at least as long as I am able to continue working on that goal with no specific completion of the goal in mind but the success of achieving the goal comes in the form of the ongoing applied effort towards that goal. There may be periods of time that there is little to no effort being applied towards this goal but with the intent to return to this goal and when returning to the goal you are picking up where you left off when it comes to the continuation of effort being present in life towards this goal. An example of an open ended goal is the continued education after achieving an advanced degree for the reason being a desire to further understand the subject matter that the degree represents. The long term goal achieved by completing the short term goals along the way to earn the advance degree being goals along the path of an open ended goal to further understand what the degree represents as a specific minimum understanding but requires no further understanding.

I am still figuring out what goals I want to include, come back to and maybe remove from my daily life as well as continue to apply effort towards the goals I am currently committed to. I am getting better day by day.

Do you have any goal that comes to mind?

GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

PAZ / PAIX = “PEACE” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about what I think can be done to live in a more peaceful world.

It would be nice if we woke up this morning and the world was at peace.

If everyone everywhere knew the feeling of peace and there was no fear that this peace would be anything other than everlasting.

Although this was not true this morning what can be true the moment you want it to be true is having the ability to make the world a more peaceful world.

How? By extending the part of you that wants peace in a way that the intention or action starting with the thought is a contribution of energy that represents peace into the world and the universe.

The moment just previous to your peaceful thought our world was experiencing an immeasurable but real specific amount of peace.

The moment you shared that peace of you into the world it was now experiencing a new specific amount of peace that you created yet can be experienced by all of those in this world.

The next time and every time you share your peace the world becomes more peaceful.

You do not need to consider those who may not be contributing to this peace because your influence to this peace will undeniably be experienced by you and this is something worthy of consideration.

My point is you are not trying to “make up” for others “lack of contribution” to this peace because the peace that exist is not made but found. The world is at peace but not everyone gets the ability to see or experience this peace because they have not yet found the peace within themself to know what it looks and feels like so they do not share what they believe they don’t have.

I want to say this in a way that I am sharing not just my truth but a possible truth for anyone while considering those of us who do not have an experience of peace but not for a lack of desire or effort.

In a world at peace it would take only one person that did not know this peace for some to say that now the peace has been compromised.

I am trying to see that world still at peace but there would be one who does not have the ability to experience it meaning the peace can not be compromised only unfamiliar or has been lost by those who are not experiencing this peace.

When you share your peace, it fills not the world with more peace but fills pieces of those with space within themself that is meant to hold the peace they have yet to discover or feel has been lost or displaced with something that they carry within themself instead of that peace.

I hope you know peace, I hope you never lose it, I hope you share it knowing it does not take from your peace but is experienced by others as a light that shines on the peace within them they may have yet to know exist or as a light illuminating a path for those to find their peace they are having trouble finding there way back to.

EJERCICIO / EXERCICE = “EXERCISE” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about exercise.

I do not expect you to have a regular exercise routine at your age but there are many benefits to mindful movement.

Stretching is quick and easy and helps with mobility and well being.

Meditation can help and really just closing your eyes and focusing on your breath for only a couple of minutes can help with energy and well being.

Walking outdoors can help especially after meals when walking for at least 10 minutes.

Another thing you can do is starting with your feet, flex each muscle and work your way up to your head flexing one muscle at a time so that you have flexed each muscle or each part of your body. This helps with the mind/muscle connection and helps overall well being.

Another thing is something I have mentioned before and that is yoga nidra. You do not need to fall asleep to feel like you took a nap when closing your eyes and laying still for a few minutes. Even a couple of minutes of yoga nidra can help with well being and energy.

Playing a sport that involves moving your body is a fun way to exercise and so is dancing❕

Anytime you can mix in body movement when playing you are not only having fun but also doing something that will benefit your health and well being.

This is not the first or last post on mindful movement and that is because I know it is beneficial.

Move your body and have fun❕

Today, for you, I have a post about today’s holiday Easter.

I remember going for Easter egg hunts as a kid. It would be at different places each year but normally the families that were involved were the same.

The parents go and hide the eggs, the kids hunt for them and then we would all eat together if we haven’t already.

Some years we would also paint eggs, usually dye them various colors and not actually paint them by hand.

Some years the eggs contained candy, little egg sized toys and later in life also cash.

Some years the kids would also get Easter baskets that were filled with candy and often a chocolate bunny.

Most if not all of the things we would do were happening all across the country and was happening before our first hunt and still happening today.

A couple years we also went to a play that was about a story of Easter and this too is a common event experienced throughout the country and even in other countries.

The amount of sugar consumed on Easter is probably only second to Halloween.

My favorite thing about Easter is that it is one of the holidays that often brings families together often with a feast and smiles on faces, especially the kids.

What is your favorite Easter Memory❔

LIBRO / LIVRE = “ ” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about one of my favorite books of all time called “The Four Agreements”.

It was written by Don Miguel Ruiz and is a very popular book that has been translated in many languages.

The book is about Toltec wisdom and is a way of approaching life that allows you to overcome difficult times and appreciate the present moment.

It uses the story of a man that one day realized that he was not just observing the universe but was the universe. He looked at the stars and thought that what made the stars was also what made him. He was a being of light and all things were from and are this light. The birds, the trees, and everyone including himself were all connected to this light and the light was what the universe was made of.

When he thought and understood this concept it filled him with joy and he wanted to spread this joy with everyone.

He encountered familiar faces that could tell there was something different about him and he shared with them what he discovered hoping they would feel his joy.

He realized that everyone is living a life that is a form of a dream that is unique to that person and all of the dreams of each person combined to form the dream of the planet.

I would describe the story of this man as a way of understanding that we all have our own unique interpretation of anything and everything and the collective agreement of anything in the world is not necessarily what it is but is what we agree to call it.

The story suggests that we are all the same but we do not see that we are all the same because of the story we grew up with and the story we tell ourself being what separates this truth.

The book also shares a method to approaching life with four agreements to make and honor.

1. Be impeccable with your word. Impeccable literally means “without sin” and I interpret this as to tell the truth.
2. Do not make assumptions: This agreement is about what often happens when we are attaching expectations to outcomes or believe that what the result of something if done the same way will lead to the same result. I have found that replacing expectations with probability is a more practical and beneficial way of considering and or planning what might be. Probability is a mathematical perspective and not an assumption and leaves the possibility of what would probably happen not certainly going to happen.
3. Do not take things personally: This is easier said than done however it has helped me with reminding me that even when someone does something for me it is not because of me, it is because of them. If someone says something “nasty” to me it is not because of me but because of that person. Even when someone says something nice about me it is not about me but reflects that person’s opinion. This has taught me why it is more important to have your opinion of yourself be the most important opinion and that your opinion of yourself is not dependent on another.
4. Always do your best: This agreement is the action of the four agreements. You can tell the truth, try to not make assumptions or take things personally but there will be moments when you feel like you did not honor the agreements. If you are honestly trying, that is in my opinion the point of the agreements and not to never make mistakes.

I have the physical book and the audio book version of “The Four Agreements” and I have listened to this book more than any other book. It is amazing how the book feels like it applies to my life during whatever time in my life I hear it. I would say that this book has helped me in many ways and also is one of the biggest influences of my LOVE TRY REPEAT approach and book I am currently writing.

Here is a sample of the book narrated by Peter Coyote:
