We are constantly moving in life trying to find ways to
improve ourselves, connect with people and live life every day. During a business meeting, I was given an
opportunity to host a weekly Latin night in Orlando, Florida.
Immediately, I knew that I had many ideas but
didn’t know where to begin. One thing I’ve learned about myself is that I have
a unique creative ability that helps me develop my dreams into real ideas and also
guides me with the creation of new businesses. As my
close friends know, I like to call them my super powers! J We all have our God-given talents that allow
us to be unique in who we are. This was
definitely a challenge that required that I use that instinct and inner power!
So I had just been given this amazing opportunity yet I had no
clear idea nor vision for this event. I
decided to first start by choosing a name for the event. Once I
had a name in mind, I knew from there the creative process would evolve and
everything would fall perfectly into place. I wanted the name to be sophisticated, elegant
and create a positive energy from GOALYGO.
On a Saturday night, I went to bed early. Tired from working long hours, my body needed
its rest. At around 1:00am, my creative
inner self could sleep no more and I was wide awake. I get
this surge of energy sometimes, especially when I have projects that I’m
working on or when I’m planning business trips. My mind was full of ideas,
flowing like a river through my head. I quickly grabbed my pen and paper and started
brainstorming trying to come up with a name for this event. After about two hours of writing down ideas
there was still no name.
Finally, at around 3:00am, I said to myself, “I’m Puerto
Rican. With this being a Latin event, I
need to find a place in Puerto Rico that has meaning.” Right away, I thought of a street in Puerto
Rico called Calle de la Luna, a well-known street in the San Juan
District, most historic place in Puerto Rico.
This made perfect sense because the venue for the Orlando event is
located on “Church” Street. The
connection was instantly made and solidified as soon as I said out loud “De La
Luna” and at that moment De La Luna was born!
De La Luna translated in English means “Of The Moon,” a
perfect name, because I connect with the moon every night! Throughout my life, I have met many incredible
people that have captured my heart in different ways and at different times. At
night, I always look to the moon to connect with them, when I miss them,
because I know that at that same moment, wherever they are, we all share the
same moon.
The moon is the brightest object in the sky after the sun. The moon gives light, light is energy, and
its energy influences the Earth. The
quiet of the night and coolness of the moon bring me feelings of joy, peace and
an awareness of a divine connection. I
can feel this divine connection present in every living thing in our planet. This powerful energy can touch, strengthen,
and inspire each of us. We are all
sources of energy, moving constantly from one place to another, but yet
connected under the same moon. Let us
inspire and strengthen each other as we all connect at De La Luna!
DE LA LUNA…The Place to BE and BE Seen!
This is GOALYGO!
