by Sandra Cisneros as interpreted by

Zulmara

Here is my list from the wonderful talk that Sandra gave us at the Coca-Cola ADELANTE Tour. Sandra had the ideas, but this is my own interpretation of her inspiration, I am sure many of us took many different things from that day, depending on where we are at!!!

·         Live for your own approval

·         Time is your most valuable gift

·         Cover your own Power...

·         Find true humility

·         Keep your word

·         Address your pain

·         Be one with your actions—your only true possessions are your actions

·         Seek forgiveness

·         Live in the present moment

·         Go back to a scene of trauma—Depression has a purpose—use it to go to the light

·         Listen to your body...when you are sick, your body is telling you something

·         Get out of the way of the light

·         Research your history...create your 10x10
