All you need to do is IMAGINE but go BIG, begin 2024 by placing the unimaginable on a vision board for your life Goals and journey to embrace greatness for you and your family!

Beginning today, I’ll post 10 things to reflect on from this past year. Something I’ve learned or been taught, wisdom shared or opportunities I’ve embraced.

Many who have followed or have viewed my “live” video know that I generally share the “word” of the week and in these posts I’ll do just that.

Follow me Yamileth Espinoza-Delgado for these intentional, sometimes hard acceptances, lessons, ahaa moments and blessings as we head into the New Year 2024!

As we decorate. ❤️‍🩹

Exceptionally thankful for the tools and tips I have in my life which remind me of who and how I portray the world as a whole. It's taken alot of work to be who I am today, and no it's not been easy, yet it's very rewarding and glad I've "weathered the storms". Here is a bit about how I function....

Hit the Ground Running
Snapshot

I feel compelled to keep everything -- and everyone -- aligned. Sometimes that means organizational alignment; I sense when the world is disorganized, and I get a kick out of restoring everything back to its rightful place. Or it might mean ethical alignment; I am acutely aware of who is responsible for what, and I am quick to take action if someone doesn't live up to his or her responsibilities.

I engage people directly and convince them to act. My power is my persuasion.

I begin by asking, "How can I move you to act?" In virtually every situation, my eye goes to the outcome. Why? Partly because I see where things will lead if the other person doesn't act, and partly because I am instinctively aware of momentum and so become frustrated when I bump into someone who slows my momentum down.

I am a level-headed person whose power comes from keeping the world in balance, ethically and practically.

I am a highly responsible person.

In any situation I set my sights on action. "What can we do?" This is my question.

If a team is stuck, I can unglue them. If they're reluctant, I can paint the compelling picture that prompts them to move.

I'm more decisive than most people. And more impatient. I like to move fast.

I love certainty, and follow-through is the surest way to give it to people. I try to be conservative about what I am prepared to commit to, and then make sure I do what I say I'm going to do, on time, on budget, with no surprises.

I usually have a conviction that I am right, but I will back up my arguments with clear structure and process, and predictable values.

I'm at my best when I'm challenged to persuade people to do something they didn't necessarily intend to do.

I love to bring order to things -- you can count on me to confront disorder when others shy away from it.

I am explicit in what I believe and what I value. My beliefs are a part of me.

I sort all information by "relevance to action." I will do something only if I think it will help get a decision made, or position me in such a way that I can make an outcome happen.

I always take a stand for causes I believe deeply to be right, even if it puts me in the minority.

I hate playing politics. I'm a very up front person and don't function well in a world with a lot of backroom action.

I am driven by the feeling of progress, and am acutely sensitive to momentum. I sense when it's building. When it's peaking. And when it's gone.

I have an instinctive sense of fairness, even on those occasions when my sense of fairness leads me to conclude that I don't deserve something I've been given.

I'm totally transparent. What you see with me is what you get. I am not good at all with hidden agendas -- whether my own, or other people's.

I think in terms of "who has the 'right' to do this?" Rights and responsibilities are my guides. It makes me uncomfortable when I think people have overstepped their bounds and done something they have no right to do.

Be who you are, who cares what others ”think” of you!

People connect with people! In any service, one will always remember how you left them feeling or how you treated them. Connect, explore, grow and succeed.

Look around you, can you say this wholeheartedly? Are you notably growing your family, values and the positivity that you aspire to share with the world, growing your children into wonderful human beings that will make a difference in peoples lives, leaving a smile on their faces. Ask yourself often, think about it!

As we head into 2022, I reflect on all the things I’ve learned or “stumbled” upon and wanted to share here in case anyone needs a reminder of all they have accomplished throughout the year, without overthinking it. A given, we have lived these past 12 months more radically, in strength and grace than years past. Again, your lesson is yours, but reflect on what they’ve been and how you will take them into the next year or the lesson you’ve learned from the experience. Here are mine:
love not only feels deeply but also acts courageously and sacrificially. Love gives.
more than you can get, a smile is wealth. is wise, is a response. Pat yourself on the back often, not everyone is built for your day to day, nor do you need anyones validation. You are. on your children, not only by affection, by presence (not presents). They need more of you, these times are trivial. prevails everything, read your bible, say a prayer. However you recognize faith, do it, Someone is listening! is your priority, no one else’s, and no explanation required. care isn’t selfish, what’s that quote “happy wife, happy life “. You have to take care of yourself, in order to give of yourself. Do your part, shine ✨ your light upon people, inspiring and empowering. Don’t take life for granted, this moment is only promised to us. We can make a difference in the world for good. , no matter what, no matter how, will be there when needed. Everyone has a past, it’s theirs to deal with, keep being the light. but don’t in doing so. yourself
, there’s only 1 who can determine things and it’s not us. and action, you better do it. There will be no one to blame except for yourself if you don’t. Take ACTION. Complete the items at hand.
Be the best you can be and be real, your children are watching you. is real, we will all have our moments, embrace them. is not required, progress, now that’s another thing. , find it in the moments, NOT THINGS! Experiences are memorable, do them. Conversation is powerful, with your tribe. yourself and your family with positive, influential people. with your gut. Look in the mirror often and say to the reflection today, I am my best and beautiful me, I am powerful and . Trust the process and remember, YOU CAN! There will be people who will offer advice in your life, you can either go places or listen to people trying to talk you out of it. It’s your journey, be wise.
Pain is real, loss is real…it’s happened to more of us this year, be conscious of this.
And finally, we will endure more to come, but reflect and remind yourself of all the above and grow in strength, grace and health. We are here to say we lived this! 2022 is going to be a phenomenal year, speak positive actions onto yourself, manifest, set goals and conquer them…You can and You WILL! Be blessed and thank you all for the love and support you’ve given me through the years. Love and light!

Post and share! Planning and setting is your best motivation and accountability on yourself for you and yours. Are you ready and prepped to begin setting these goals on your

Countdown to 2022!

What’s are you placing on your Vision Board, Goals for 2022?

Rather than dissecting everything that could or would happen in your life choices, investments on yourself or what you have dreamed of doing in your lifetime. Just begin! All else will follow, it always does. If for some reason it doesn’t and leads you on another path, at least you know you did it!

It makes me sad to hear about the passing of many, especially parents of friends and family. Embrace and enjoy one another this holiday season and do everything to show your appreciation for one another.

Put aside the bickering and negativity as tomorrow is not promised to any of us. It’s senseless to hold resentment and anger, hostility and even jealousy against someone. Remember what these past years have taught us, life is precious.

And to my friends experiencing this, our hearts are with you and your families.

Love on one another ❤️

If you are asking yourself, how, how do I find myself, my way, my path? You are at the beginning of doing just that, don’t ask, just do. Analyze selfishly, what’s worked, what hasn’t and who or what is a toxic factor in your life that keeps adding to it.

Think of this new beginning as peeling the layers to uncover “new skin” ridding of the old. Old habits, ways, acceptances and most importantly, take responsibility of your own faults and make those right.

You asking yourself these questions and taking every step in itself is the work and it won’t be easy. But that’s why it’s work, to find yourself, building on who you really are under all of it. To set you on pivotal life change. Enjoy every step of it. Come alive!

For some it’s the hardest thing to do, either trying to shield who or what they have to deal with or don’t want to face.

It’s a process and not an easy one, but when you’re not only honest with yourself, it becomes extremely easy to ”be honest” with others.

Not everyone will accept the truth, but it will be invigorating and open so many doors of growth and enlightenment for yourself.

Take care of you, before trying to take care of anyone else!

I’ve retained so much more from living through experiences, trips, creating those memories that can never again be replaced. Rather than asking yourself, “what am I buying”, book your next trip and say, “this is where I’m headed!”

Intentionally do things daily that make you forget about your phone, be present with your family and friends or just be in your own.

At the beginning of each day, I begin with prayer, meditation, silence and gratitude. Make my bed and begin my day.

I’ve set up my bible app reminders, to begin prayers, take my Thrive and begin my day. I don’t read the news or begin with Facebook/Social media and have no distractions, complete solice and feel in an accomplished mindset.

Sticking to my schedule and focusing🧘‍♀️ on all the things that matter and need to be completed.

The other thing is, I don’t watch the news 📰. It’s overwhelming and a hard distraction, so I choose not to.

Find what fills you! Walk, talk, silence or music 🎶 , dance 🕺, but stay away from social media and see how much better life can be with limiting or staying off of it completely.

Have a blessed day and take CARE of you.

Be thoughtful, mindful of how you can giveback!
