NO Zumba class Saturday 07/31
We'll resume 08/06

Good Thursday morning my Zumba Friends: I guess Facebook is playing games with all of us. Today, there is no problem with Live. C'mon, don't do this to us! It's terrible when you are completely ready to start your class, and at the last minute, you cannot even open your Live to start. I spent all afternoon and night trying to understand why FB did this yesterday. Not an understandable answer. Let's plan to do our Saturday Zumba. Gracias!

Sorry, Facebook is not letting me go Zumba LIVE today. I don't know what's happening.

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day from Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV🔥 Saturday, July 11, 2020. I heard that Saturdays are for shopping and relaxation. Nowadays, your shopping is going to the store, very carefully, with your mask and your gloves on. Not the way we use to shop. Relaxation, we though we'll have it at hone almost every day since March, but I found out that you're doing more things than before, not too relaxing. But, Saturdays, in our minds, is a different day of the week. We used to go to restaurants with friends, to parties, to the movies. Now, we cook and watch Netflix, not complaining at all. Better at home, taking care of yourself and the people you live with. So, it's Saturday. Enjoy your day with the ones you love. Chill and relax.
Besos, Mercy

As always: "Enjoy Life, this is not a rehearsal".

Well, we did a whole 1 hour class. They just cut me down.
I hope you liked it.
Besos,
Happy 4th of July....!

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day from Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV: 🔥 Wednesday, June 17, 2020. I'm not sure if I already told you that a few months ago, my son Gaby, who lives in Grass Valley, and has a fabulous garden planted with all sorts of vegetables (and has 8 chickens giving him eggs every day), told me to start planting because maybe, one day soon, we'll need to eat from what we planted, and I did it. With the help of my older son, Mikey, we bought little vegetables pots ready to be grown, and seeds to spread around. We bough 4 planters, 48" x 48", many bags of dirt, fertilizer, and we (mostly him!) started our garden job. By now, we have grown beautiful tall corn, lots of tomatoes, carrots, beats, lettuce, potatoes (white & purple), and a few herbs, that we are already using. But, who knew: the Pimientos de Padron (original from Galicia) will grow in my backyard, and are already big enough to eat. So yesterday, we ate a few of our Pimientos. They're similar to the Japanese Shish*to Peppers. Not only they tasted incredible fabulous, but also, like the original ones from Spain, at least a couple you'll eat, will bring fire to your tongue. I'll let you know when our potatoes, tomatoes and corn are ready to eat. In the meantime, we're looking at a beautiful vegetable garden, not kidding, in my La Crescenta house. Now, I need the chickens. LOL...! Besos, Mercy

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day from Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV: 🔥 Thursday, June 11, 2020. Today it's hot. A hot 90+ degrees afternoon, and it's not summer yet. Nobody is satisfy with the weather, never satisfy with anything. When it's hot, then we want the colder days. When is freezing, you beg for warmer days. We do the same with our lives. If skinny, we want more pounds. If chubby, we just want to lose weight. If you are blonde, then you want darker hair. If curly, you want.... and goes on and on. Let's ask ourselves: Are we satisfy with what we have? Let's rethink everything, and compare it with what we have, and with all what is going on right now in the world. People having terrible health problems. People dying. Financial problems. Families not able to bring food to their tables. Think again. Are you satisfy? I'll bet you anything that after reading all this, you are now. Besos, Mercy

As always: "Enjoy Life, this is not a rehearsal".

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day from Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV: 🔥 Sunday, June 7, 2020. Today, for the first time over 3 months, my daughter Tatiana visited us. It felt like years since the last time we saw her, and talked face to face with her. What a delight to have your children close to you! Our oldest, Mikey, is with us since the pandemic started, after his job had to close doors. Then, Gaby, we haven’t seen him, his pregnant wife Jeannette, or our 4-y/o grandson Mateo, since December. But, if you really think the positive side of how things are developing now, we're happy they're healthy, they're safe, and we know one of these days, we'll be having all of them together, and close to you. Right now, and always, they're close to our hearts. Take care of your families. Call them, they need to hear your voice. Besos, Mercy
Enjoy Life, this is not a rehearsal.

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day from Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV: 🔥 Saturday, June 6, 2020. This morning, before my Zumba class, I read a post that really determined me to show it to you. I don't know who is the author, but what it says, it's the reality we are living now: "What if 2020 isn't canceled? What if 2020 is the year we've been waiting for? A year so uncomfortable, so painful, so scary, so that it finally forces us to grow. A year that screams so loud, finally awakening us from our ignorant slumber. A year we finally accept the need for change. Declare change. Work for change. Become the change. A year we finally band together, instead of pushing each other further apart. 2020 isn't canceled, but rather the most important year of them all". Besos, Mercy
Enjoy Life, this is not a rehearsal.

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day from Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV: 🔥 Thursday, June 4, 2020. Time flies too fast in our lives. So, today I'm remembering a great day in our lives. 36 years ago, a day like today, I was having a great enjoying time at the Glendale Adventist Medical Center, having our baby girl. It was really really fun, and if you never had children, then believe me, it's a really fun time having a baby... LOL. Seriously, our daughter Tatiana is a magnificent superb young woman, full of life, and new ideas. She's a musician, singer, muralist, painter, actor, media genius… Well, I'm her mom! My today's "Drops" are dedicated to you my love. Happy Birthday Tatiana. BTW, she already knows she's going to be older than me in a few years. Besos, Mercy
Enjoy Life, this is not a rehearsal.

Let's Get Ready for Zumba: Tomorrow Friday 06/05, and then
No Zcuzez Zaturday Zumba on 06/06.

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day from Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV: 🔥 Friday, May 29, 2020. Another Friday without plans to go to a restaurant with friends, or just to a movie theater. Do we love this way of life we are living? That's not love. You might don't like it, but that's not the way to refer to a Friday night at home again. "Love is not dazzled by wealth and titles. Love brings harmony to the soul". So, another Friday, another day. We don't have to like it, but we don't have any other choice just love the way we are.

Enjoy Life, this is not a rehearsal. Besos, Mercy

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day from Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV: 🔥 A chilly day with blue skies. Tuesday, May 19, 2020. I always like to keep thoughts, and messages throughout my years. This one for today, I think we could use it similar to how we are actually living, but I'm adding different answers of my own:

Life is Short: Of course, if we get the virus.
Break the Rules: Don't... Wear your mask. Be safe.
Forgive Quickly: All depends on what you did to me.
Kiss Slowly: How can I kiss you with this mask.
Love Truly: Always.... Always!
Laugh Uncontrollably: If it's a good joke, why not.
And never regret anything that made you smile: Create some joy. Bring a smile to someone!

Try to live a happy and positive life, even on these days of confusion that nobody understand: Read. Walk. Cook. Exercise. Call your family and friends. Breath. Be calm. Everything it's going to be alright. It will take some time, it's not going to be tomorrow, but some day, I hope, soon.
Enjoy Life. This is not a rehearsal. Besos, Mercy

And, like I always say: Things happen without planning. Little problems thrown directly to you. But, there is always a way to resolve them the positive way, and no hesitation
No Zumba class this week. I will let you know ASAP. 🔥💃🎶

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day from Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV: 🔥 It's Saturday, May 16, 2020. "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second time is now". After I read this a few months ago, I planned to start my own vegetable garden. My family from Galicia, Spain are spectacular farmers, and they're also Albarino wine growers. Even though having the "farming" in my blood, I always though my thumb was not that green as I expected. Then, this time, with the help of my son Mikey, who is with us now due to the quarantine confinement, we planted our garden. By now, the plants are growing very fast. We have corn, tomatoes, pimientos de Padron (a pepper from Galicia, Spain, similar to the Japanese shish*to peppers), onions, potatoes, carrots, beets, green peppers, and lots of different herbs. They look so happy to be in my backyard. Lots of warm sun, lots of breeze, lots of water, and they know they are loved. I hope you can plant your own. A very rewarding experience. Now, I can't wait to see they're ready to consume. Hope you like my "drops of wisdom" from today. Besos, MercyV

We're not having Zumba this weekend. I'm working in a new plan, and then we'll start moving again. I'll keep you posted soon. 🔥💃

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day from Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV: 🔥 Blue skies and a beautiful morning today Thursday, May 14, 2020. "Staying positive doesn't mean you have to be happy all the time. It means that on hard days you know that there are better ones coming". You plan your "confinement" days, as much as you can, and even if you can't go anywhere, or do anything different, the "dark cloud" is always surrounding. Then, and I'm including myself in this example. 1st, You don't believe this is happening to you again, and again. 2nd. You get furious because you feel disarmed. 3rd, You get frustrated because you don't know what to do. Then, you start realizing is not your fault, there's nothing you can do, you forget this happened, and then plan for another day. This is what just happened to me Monday, and then again yesterday. Remember, just follow your good thoughts, and not the frustrating feelings. Tomorrow we start another day, with blue skies and a beautiful morning.
Besos, MercyV

Let's meet tomorrow Friday @ 10:30am and do some Zumba. Let's do our exercises, and let's move your body with me. 🔥💃🎶

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day from Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV: 🔥 Magnificent and beautiful morning today Wednesday, May 13, 2020. Even though last week was not that warm, but very hot, the last days we felt a chilly breeze, not too common when it's already almost the middle of May, and getting very close to hot summer in California. No rain. The first thing that comes to our minds is "the weather". Is it going to be hot? Is it going to rain? It's kind of chilly today. I don't understand why is 95 degrees today. Are we getting worry about the weather now? Who cares if it's hot, or warm, or that it never rains in California? Now? Are we worried about the weather, now? OK, let's think this all over again. Let's not worry about the weather, who cares? We're not going anywhere. If hot? We're home. If rains? We're home. Let's care of what is more important. Did I call my mom, dad, grandma, my sick friend? Do we have food on our table? Is my family healthy? That's what is really important right now. How do I feel? Should I keep eating all day? Do I need to exercise my body and my mind, and get rid of those scary thoughts? There is no excuse to move our bodies at least once a day.
Let's meet today @ 10:30am and do some Zumba. NO EXCUSES! Let's do our exercises, and let's move your body with me. 🔥💃🎶

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day from Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV: 🔥 It's Tuesday, May 12, 2020, and I had a dream last night, an unbelievable dream. Everything was closed, we cannot walk anywhere, we couldn't see our children, or our friends, or anybody we know, no meetings, no parties, there were nothing in the markets, not even toilet paper or dishwashing liquid, and I laughed so hard in my dream... I woke up still laughing of what I thought throughout all my night. It was kind of scary, but, c'mon, it was only a dream. Then, reality knocked me out of bed! No way, it was not a dream? It's our daily reality nowadays? Thinking still this was impossible, I started planning my day: go to the market, do this... do that, OR Do nothing! This is REALITY very clear, right in front of our eyes. Then, my plans took a different turn. What can I do for this reality be more livable and positive. I knew what was the word to follow: Be Positive! Do not be scare. Why be scare, when you have everything. You still have your home, you have food, you still have a little of that toilet paper you bought weeks ago, your children are away, but they're healthy.... YOU ARE OK! Then, I erased those awful thoughts out of my mind, and I felt refreshed, and awake from last night's dream. No more negative. Let's refuse those negative thoughts! Today, it's a new day. No more awful dreams allowed. We'll prepare for the rest of this week. We'll exercise our body, our soul and our mind, and we'll be ready for what this day will bring us. Appreciate your health, your home, your family... and be happy for the rolls of toilet paper you still have. Start your morning with a good happy Zumba class. Let's Get Ready to Zumbaaaaa @ 10:30am 🔥💃🎶

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day from Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV: 🔥 It's Monday, May 11, 2020, and it's my 37th birthday. What? Don't open your eyes like that! Don't laugh! Let me explain it easier, so you can understand: Several years ago, I turned 37. Last year, I turned 37, and, next year I'll turn 37 again! Every year, for me, I'll turn 37 in every birthday. That' the way of life. Plus, like the song says: 🎶 It's my party and I turn 37 if I want to... You will turn 37 too if it happened to you... LOL …! Doesn't matter how old your turn, doesn't matter how old you are... What it matters is how you feel, how your mind thinks, how you cope with your daily life. So, that's it. Start turning the age you want to be in your birthday. because it's your birthday and you turn the age that you want to.
Thank you to all the calls, the messages, cards and presents. Let's get ready for today's Zumba @ 10:30am. Because today could be the first day that you'll start feeling your perfect age. Besos! 🔥💃🎶

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day from Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV: 🔥 It's Wednesday, May 6, 2020. One more day for the positive thinkers, one less day for the negatives. For me, it's another beautiful day with full blue skies, and birds flying everywhere looking for food. It's the middle of the week, but now, nobody pays attention to that. It's just another day. Don't think like that, just pay attention of what we have, watch the flowers growing, feel the spring breeze, even though it's 90 degrees in the afternoon, admire the sunset. Today, it's a brand new day to prepare yourself for the rest of the week. Move your body, exercise, be ready for what this day will bring us. Appreciate your health, your home, your family. Start your morning with a good happy Zumba class. Let's Get Ready to Zumbaaaaa @ 10:30am 🔥💃🎶

Little Drops of Wisdom for a New Day: 🔥 Happy Cinco de Mayo! A day of celebration in our USA, but not really a day of Fiesta in Mexico, because today, as people might think, is not Mexico Independence day. It's called the Battle of Puebla, and it was a fight between the French and Mexican army. I spent a Cinco de Mayo in Mexico years ago, and they not even paid attention to this day. So I guess, because we need to party, why not celebrate el Cinco de Mayo every year. BUT, before you start making your "confinement Margarita", you have to prepare your body to be loose, great and ready to party today. So, let's think of all the things we have to be thankful: our health, our home, our family. Then, after your morning Zumba, you can have that Margarita you deserve. You know it's 5pm in other places anyway. Let's Get Ready to Zumbaaaaa @ 10:30am 🔥💃🎶 Zumba a la Quarantine with MercyV
