• Feliz 18 !!! What an amazing honour it was to celebrate our national holiday on board of the Navy ship ‘Fragata Almirante Condell’ that as a special treat arranged to be in Dublin for our Chilean holidays. The Chilean Embassy  and the Navy crew did their best efforts to make us all feel welcome and they certainly brought a piece of Chile to us in Dublin…Literally , all the people attending can say they were in Chile last night as the navy ship classifies as Chilean territory:)

It was so special and emotional to see the Chilean flag together with the Irish flag dancing to the winds of Dublin Port  in what I can only describe the most perfect September evening so far, it was a lovely kind of  spring breeze in the air exactly like in Chile at this time of the year.

The relationship between Chile & Ireland goes a long way. It all started with Bernardo O’Higgins, a Chilean/ Irish descendent, giving us the Independence from the Spanish Conquerors nearly 2 centuries ago.

After that the relationship has developed not only for our amazing wines and tourism but for love … Yes , it is true, Chilean/Irish couples mix and match perfectly well. ( I am living proof of that with my beloved Irish husband). And for you strawberry blondes, red hairs and blue eyed people out there you want to take the first plane to Chile. Who knows, you might never come back  :)

Seriously, both nations have so much in common starting with the beautiful landscapes, natural beauty and care for the environment, the  famous sense of hospitality and friendship , the nationalism, the values we shared as nations : family, spirituality, and of course the witty sense of humour which I think is a key factor in us getting so well together.

I will welcome you to visit my country, explore all we have to offer and enjoy our Chilean hospitality which made us famous around the world. I feel so blessed to be able to say that I have settled in 2 of the most beautiful countries this palnet has to offer; my two homes Chile and Ireland.

God bless you all , salud con vino chileno y VIVA CHILE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello my beautifuls,

There is a lot going on about the Law of Attraction and even though I am fascinated about the subject I always had this feeling of  wanting to know more. Something was missing in all the literature and videos I’ve been reading and ‘absorbing’, some key questions weren’t answered so that I could say yes ! definetely now I get it and I can trully put in in action.

I believe I had a great understanding & awareness of how the Law works and had some good manifestations in my personal life as examples and evidence that I was on the right track. However ,some key questions weren’t answered like, What to do when doubt creeps in ? What to do to raise our vibration continuosly and stay in it for as long as we could so we can attract what is it that we want? How do we know we are in the right track? How can we use our emotions to guide us to what is it that we want ?What to do when negative emotions take over ? and many more…

 My logical side of the brain wasn’t satisfied and wanted more.

Thanks god I found what I believe is the next step in my understanding and practice of this Law which first came to me in the Form of ‘The Law of Attraction Cards’ by Esther & Jerry Hicks. Well, I must admit I recognise Esther Hicks from The Secret video but what attracts me to the 60-Cards deck was the practicality of having them in my office as a constant reminder of the Law -and a beautiful one (the illustrations on the cards are superb so my visual side of the brain bought into the idea) 

The cards were only the beginning and this is were the Magic begins. The cards started to make so much sense and they seemed to hold the answers to my deep & not so deep questions on this Law …well, in a matter of 2 weeks one of my best friends insisted in giving me a present of a Book she wanted me to have ( without her knowing anything about the cards)…yes, you guessed it The book version of my card deck ! ’The Law of Attraction and How to Make it work for you ‘ Esther and Jerry Hicks The Teachings of Abraham.

I laughed when I read the foreword saying ….’look at what you’re holding in your hands.You did that.You put this book right here,right where it is,right in front of your eyes.You manifested it’…..

What a book , all I can say is that for now my thrist for knowledge on the Law is satisfied. Since then the video of these authors and The Teachings of Abraham came to my life and I throughlouly devoured it. The questions are finally answered in a logical way that made total sense to me.

I highly recommend it as a MUST read if you want to trully understand and put in practice the Law to the ‘next level’.

Also available the magnificient ‘Ask and it is given’ ; ‘The amazing power of deliberate Intend’.For more information please visit www.abraham-hicks.com

Lots of love , positive energy & blessings for you all and let’s keep ‘manifesting’ until we meet again .

Hello my beautifuls ,

As you all know from my previous blog, I took part on this year series of RTE1 No place like Home. In fact, they chose this programme as the last ever of the series 3 and of No place like Home as they are not doing these series anymore. I guess I am lucky my Chilean episode was chosen to be the last one. In the words of the Tv producer, they wanted to finish in a high note with a sweet programme that would touch the audience and, oh my god, they did.

I was overwhelmed with positive emotions as The RTE Guide and The Irish Times Magazine highlighted the programme as part of their TV Choice. Imagine what a really nice surprise, and quite bizarre:) to see my face and my name in the TV choice for today.

Finally, tonight 21st March 2008, Good Friday at 19:30pm ,the programme was aired and I thought to write a blog to share with you all the emotions I feel at this moment.

 I am so, so, so  proud and I feel so blessed of having taken part of this beautiful programme. 

I already phoned and thanked the Director ,Producer and Presenter and through them to all the Tv crew at Motive TV for all their fab work . All my values were reflected in the programme : family, nature, environment, spirituality, creativity, …and much, much more. I am so happy that my beautiful sisters and friends were also featured and that they really captured our essence as individuals.

My both countries ,Chile and Ireland, were portraited wonderfully and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I was delighted that the Director chose to  feature The Irish Seal Sanctuary and the release of ‘Trudy’, the grey seal we released that morning in Dollymount beach. They made reference to my favorite Chilean music from Illapu and Andres Condon and the best band in the world, U2. I was in tears of joy when they played ‘Pride’ in the background with relation to our love story.

The crew had a great time in Chile and it shows, my family were so at ease with them and the way the programme flows from beginning to end is a credit to all the team involved.

I will treasure this forever. What a gift they gave me and what a nice memory to have of summer 2007.

We have been inundated with  phone calls, e-mails and text messages giving us positive feedback on how much enjoyment  the programme brought to people. As a treat for all of you I thought to include some behind the scenes pictures so you all get to see some of the action that took place while filming.

 Good night and God bless,

x, Maria
