What is work for you..?




                                    When you truly enjoy and love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work…

Recently, I was in my “Aly Bubble” for a few days working on our plans for 2014 and every time my friends and family called my answer was, “I’ll call you back because I’m in the middle of working on my business plan.”  It was a friend of mine that said “Aly, you are always working and you never take a break.  Even at 11pm you are working.”   It was at that moment when I said, “This is not work for me.”

People don’t understand what’s going on in my head.  Many think it’s work; like you go into the office, clock in, do your work and go home.  That’s not what I do.  I explained to my friend how much I enjoy doing what I do.  I’m passionate about creating projects, developing ideas into reality and truly helping people.  When I get home and get back on my laptop it’s because I want to get more information, finish a plan or do some research.  I have trained myself for years to be resourceful, knowledgeable and educated about many different industries.

You see, people don’t realize how I train myself to do what I need to do. You can easily train yourself to sit on the couch and watch TV for hours or go to the library and read books.  You have total control of what you desire to do with your time.  It works the same way with successful athletes.  You have certain athletes that are determined to run longer and practice longer.  You also have certain people that have great skills but don’t do much with them because they create excuses that become barriers between their success and results.

When you truly love what you do, you have no excuses not to be at the office or stay longer than the typical work day.  It becomes a part of your life because it’s fun and enjoyable.  Many people are not trained to work more than 9 to 5 but that doesn’t mean everyone must have a set schedule.  I love the freedom to create ideas from my bed or at the office.  I can be at the office at 11:00am if I want to or leave at midnight if needed.  A business is not like a job.  You are the creator and the daily growth of your future depends on YOU!

Pet Love!




                                      You’ll never know pet love until you share your love with a pet… 

I have so many great memories from my childhood.  Growing up, in Puerto Rico, we always had Chihuahuas and when I was twelve years old we had two Chihuahuas named Popi and Mota.  Mota was a female and she was my sister’s favorite.  Popi was a male and he was mine.  We loved Popi and Mota so much; they were our family.  That summer we traveled to Orlando, Florida to visit our family.  My father stayed behind to watch over the dogs and plus he was needed at work.   Sadly, while we were gone Popi passed away.  I’ll never forget the day when my mom said to me, “Popi is dead.”  It was the first time in my life that I experienced the pain of a broken heart.

Several years later, we moved to Florida and had been living there for a few years when my sister’s boyfriend gave her a small gift bag that held the cutest Chihuahua named Macho.  Macho was a very special dog and the minute you walked in the door, he was seated waiting to greet you “welcome home.”  We shared so many special moments with him up until he passed away in October 2007 due to heart complications. Then we had another special addition to our family that joined us in 2008.  Her name was Nina.  She was a beautiful Pit-bull that lived with me for some time.   She belonged to Sam, my brother-in-law, and she was so adorable.  She spent the night with me many times when I was scared about lizards coming into the house.  Nina was very active and playful until she started having health complications with diabetes and passed away in Feb 2013.

Today, we are happy to share our love with two new family members.  Bowser The King, a Chihuahua, moved into the Sanchez household last March 2013.  He lives with my sister and we are training him to be gentle with his love.  He loves you so much that he can’t control his excitement sometimes. J  BEBO, The Prince, also a Chihuahua, moved into the GOALYGO household in Jan 2014.   He is Bowser’s brother.  Bebo is so adorable and growing fast.  We grow closer every day and have our own special mother-puppy love language. 

I wasn’t expecting to ever have another dog in my life after losing Popi.  I realized that I didn’t want to be hurt again. It was the first time I experienced love towards a pet and losing that love also came with a sense of abandonment.  I was devastated.  I never knew how much losing Popi affected me until recently when I welcomed Bebo home. He looked at me so fearful and I couldn’t help but say to him “I can’t leave you behind, welcome home.”  On our way home that night, I felt that special love again and a sense of support, loyalty and caring.  There he was in my house checking things out and I said “Not sure what your name’s gonna be but, you are my bebo.”  As soon as I said that his ears perked up, his eyes got big and I said “that’s it, BEBO, that’s your name.”  Since then, we are developing a unique relationship.  After 24 years of having lost Popi and being afraid to love again, I remember once more how special pet love is. A love that’s priceless.   Bebo brought back special memories and his heart to my house. I look forward to sharing many years with him and celebrating many birthdays.

Welcome Home Bebo!  This is GOALYGO!

P.S.  He is very curious lately.  To prove it, the following characters were typed by him while I wrote this blog!:0)~
