Lo mejor del 2021 || The best of 2021 || @ediyelly

Today is December 31 and I thought of making an introspection or balance of this 2021, I take this space to relax, because for me writing means to capture my emotions, feelings and drain those that affect me at some point, and as you can imagine I'm not in a very good mood, but I need to change and keep smiling, so I decided to make a small balance of all this 2021.

Nuevos retos profesionales

New professional challenges

In 2021 I took on new challenges that led me to organize two international events without financial resources or logistical support. You can't imagine how big a challenge it was because organizing this type of event is energetically exhausting, especially when many people around you tell you, it won't work out, what do you get out of it, you can't do it, and many never believed in it. However, I am one of those who focuses on those small positive aspects and God put me in the way wonderful people, who contributed ideas and helped to develop the I International Webinar of Informatics 2021, to celebrate the XX anniversary of our Informatics department at the University where I work precisely as founder of this department. I also organized the II International Congress New Managerial Visions, with the help of some incredible friends who accepted to be part of this experience as speakers, to all of you thank you for your valuable support.

In addition to this, I gave some very valuable talks and courses on limiting beliefs, From Idea to Action, to help people understand that there is the possibility to grow if we start with a process of introspection that helps to understand our strengths, talents, among others.

For me it was a wonderful experience to share with incredible graduates and professionals in the area. I overcame so many limiting beliefs, especially the fear of the camera and that gave me the opportunity to start developing projects in this digital space.

Inicio en la Blockchain

Home on the Blockchain

Many years ago in college, I remember that @geadriana and @angelica7, organized some talks about content creation, I really liked it because it was interesting to learn that we can do something we like, we are passionate about and at the same time share in this world where we can earn cryptoassets precisely from our talents. This is essentially what IKIGAI is all about.

The case was that between work, so many activities, home and other things, I postponed it, but because of the pandemic they returned to make these talks via online and I found it interesting, plus from Venezuela is the perfect help to improve our quality of life, because the salaries are really low, and in addition to this, it helps to drain, which for me is the best part.

I tell them that the stay in the Blockchain has not been easy, and we must be patient, persevering and not get discouraged, because many times we do not win many votes, but as I heard in those talks, it is important to make community, interact, so that they know us and so we can continue to grow in this digital ecosystem.

I confess that I had years without eating hamburgers and thanks to some posts that generated many votes, I managed to be happy fulfilling that desire, so I am very grateful to these platforms.

I am happy because it has been an immense help, not only at an economic level, but also at an emotional and mental level... Thanks to all the people who read me, it gives me a lot of encouragement to continue contributing value to this digital space.

Most importantly, thanks to the blockchain I started singing, dancing in front of a camera, uploading it to a platform that helped me lose my fear of cameras and gave me the confidence I needed to work on other projects for professional growth.

Celebración de Cumpleaños.

Birthday Celebrations.

This year we had the celebrations of the little ones of the house, Luisito, 10 years old, Edymar, 5 years old and my mother, 72 years old. For me it was an immense joy to see the happy faces of each one of them when they received everything they wanted, that is priceless.

Luisito is a food fanatic, and well, he was given the opportunity to eat what he wanted, we each contributed to the gift and that made him share his beautiful smile that is priceless.

Edymar, que puedo decir de mi pequeña, celebro pre-cumpleaños desde el 25 de diciembre así que tuvo como 2 tortas y un quesillo, ella inmensamente feliz porque compartió con su familia materna y eso la hace sonreír porque están sus primos, primas y siempre están cantando, bailando e inventando algo para celebrar.

Edymar, what can I say about my little girl, she celebrated her pre-birthday since December 25th so she had like 2 cakes and a quesillo, she was immensely happy because she shared with her maternal family and that makes her smile because there are her cousins, cousins and they are always singing, dancing and inventing something to celebrate.

El último cumpleaños que celebramos fue el de mi madre. El día 27 de diciembre mi madre estaba muy ansiosa, ella desde hace unos años dejó de tomar pastillas para la depresión y en este momento no se encuentra muy bien, aunque procuramos decirle siempre las cosas valiosas que tiene a su alrededor, como estar con la familia, tener el amor de todos, estar en una casa donde tiene techo y comida, y que no sale a caminar para buscar que comprar porque todo lo hacemos mi hermano, cuñada y yo, desde que inició la pandemia, esto por medidas preventivas. Ella supero una neumonía que nos puso a todos a correr, porque tiene un enfisema pulmonar y eso es un factor de riesgo inmenso.

The last birthday we celebrated was my mother's birthday. On December 27th my mother was very anxious, she stopped taking pills for depression a few years ago and at this moment she is not feeling very well, although we always try to tell her about the valuable things she has around her, like being with her family, having everyone's love, being in a house where she has a roof and food, and that she does not go out to walk to look for what to buy because my brother, sister-in-law and I do everything since the pandemic started, this is due to preventive measures. She overcame a pneumonia that made us all run, because she has pulmonary emphysema and that is a huge risk factor.

Ahora les cuento, mi mamá en su depresión llora mucho y sus pensamientos son tan negativos que a veces me desespero, no es fácil estar con personas así todo el tiempo, pero esta vez ella quería que en su cumpleaños vinieran unos viejos amigos para que le cantaran el cumpleaños, son músicos maravillosos y bueno mi hermano se encargó de invitarlos, pero ella no sabía pues sería sorpresa.

Now I tell you, my mom in her depression cries a lot and her thoughts are so negative that sometimes I despair, it is not easy to be with people like that all the time, but this time she wanted some old friends to come for her birthday to sing her birthday, they are wonderful musicians and well my brother was in charge of inviting them, but she did not know it would be a surprise.

Ese día estaba sola conmigo en la sala, encendió la PC y puso Karaoke, le pregunté qué porque estaba triste y me dijo que lo único que quería no se pudo lograr, así que le dije sonríe, que yo te cantaré, así que me puse a cantarle y logré que se calmara un rato, una hora después llegaron los amigos y no se imaginan la cara de felicidad que tuvo. Tenía muchísimo tiempo sin ver una sonrisa sincera de mi madre, y eso nos llenó de inmensa satisfacción.

That day she was alone with me in the living room, she turned on the PC and put on Karaoke, I asked her why she was sad and she told me that the only thing she wanted could not be achieved, so I told her smile, I will sing for you, so I started to sing and I managed to calm her down for a while, an hour later her friends arrived and you can not imagine the face of happiness she had. It had been a long time since I had seen a sincere smile from my mother, and that filled us with immense satisfaction.

Como músicos tan talentosos, entonaron toda la noche canciones diferentes, y además tener a mi padre dando serenata a mi madre después de 30 años de divorciados es maravilloso.

As such talented musicians, they sang different songs all night, and to have my father serenade my mother after 30 years of divorce is wonderful.

Agradecimiento
