I HAVE A DREAM (DEEP reflection upon my journey)

2019-2020 have been two years of wonderful journey, many many beautiful events and surprises unfolded for me and my team (I lived in LA, Beijing, Valencia, Madrid and soon back to LA.)

We let go what the Maya wants and coming home to our heart truly desires. Hence as within so without, the outer world has reflected back to us as well.

THY WILL BE DONE. Do you believe in that relationships are opportunities for creations ?

 

Nothing was made up, all factual & please enjoy your journey as well !

 

Redminder to Don kaka: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
