You deserve to have a digital copy of some of the pictures I have taken of Puerto Rico.
As I walked on Culebra Beach after a long two day’s working on getting a kickstarter project, I was able to see what the U.S. Navy and Marines left behind.

For 34 years I waited and in many occasions listened to the experiences and stories of those who had visited the island paradise of Culebra. As I boarded that small Vieques Air Link plane the smallest aircraft I have been on after the Cessna Citation I travelled in to Honduras and a few trips on a blackhawk while in the military I quickly lost any fear of being up near the clouds given the beauty that surrounded me.
An experience that was captured in about 30 hours of non stop work to make sure we hit the Kickstarter goal of an awesome project. Weeks after I still go back to the images and smile. Here is a picture I took of Flamenco Beach from the plane as it approached the Culebra Airport.

Some of us are looking for inspiration everywhere and some others are also looking for a way to focus that inspiration into something of value. Also executing an idea when we have an overflow of information. I try to write a few blog posts a day and some days I get one done and on really busy days I might not write any. A few weeks ago I shared how I create a blog posts and I have created other posts regarding the way I get things done. I use a variety of tools which help me be more efficient like TextExpander which helps me improve my spelling (especially in spanish) and not have to remember long strips of code I add to the websites we manage at CIMA IT Solutions and my personal blog.
A few weeks ago my friend @mark_hayward who has been a great mentor to me on how to create rea,l genuine, relationships and how to approach blogging. He is the owner of Palmetto Guest House on the beautiful Island of Culebra and yes like me he is doing many projects at the same time.
Mark joined up with @jrkierce to create an E-book called, Possibility Engine, where the central idea is to help everyone get motivated to blog.
I started the book a few days ago and it is fairly simple. Each day has a thought provoking idea and image which can help you get over an obstacle or two. Or even help you focus.
I want to congratulate @mark_hayward and @jrkierce for taking such a complicated subject and simplifying it to the point that I am sure it can help most of you.
Feel free to learn more at @mark_hayward’s blog or download the free ebook directly.

As part of me having a Vegetarian Lifestyle and being a dog lover, it is very hard for me to hear this kind of news happening in Puerto Rico.
These situations happen so often on the Island I feel helpless so I pass along this info as we shared it on @veglatino and provided by our friend @mark_hayward.
Today we were notified by @Mark_Hayward via twitter that 11 puppies were abandoned and rescued by him and his wife Terrie. Here is what Mark stated to us,
“The pups were dumped on the road as you head towards Zoni Beach on Culebra. Terrie brought to the vet in Fajardo yesterday for de-worming and vaccines. There are tons of pics on Animal Welfare of Culebra Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Animal-Welfare-of-Culebra
If people want to adopt we do a very thorough screening process — check with their vet, etc. Also, Animal Welfare of Culebra is 100 percent support by donations so if people want to help out they can donate by following this link – http://animalwelfareculebra.org/support/
This picture touches our heart in a profound way because we have a black labrador at home. Please forward this post to all of those who may be interested.
