Phase II ; Stay Zen

To everyone new, welcome! My name is Daliana , aka Dali , aka Dalai Lama. Hope you enjoy and fall in this crazy process w me , and become someone who truly enjoys the journey I am about to take you on. The journey of my life. 

"The lotus flower is one of the most ancient and deepest symbols of our planet. The lotus flower grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. ... Untouched by the impurity, lotus symbolizes the purity of heart and mind. The lotus flower represents long life, health, honor and good luck."

To those of you who have been my readers since Day 1; welcome back. I know it has been a while and so please do realize that the time off was very well needed.

As I closed out the year of 2018, I had to revamp myself emotionally, physically and mentally in order to restart my journey, and rejuvenate myself. I know most of you have been asking me for a recap on 2018, and although I would love to provide that for you all. I still want to be able to share my stories and most important moments through my postings as I usually would do. Behind every lesson there is a story to be told. And so, I will continue to provide my audience with that. So no worries, eventually you will all find out one post at a time. 

So, as many of you know: I have decided to pretty much re-brand and revert back to my roots when it comes to blogging and to be quiet honest, about life in general. A lot has happened, and like I said, I want you all to know that it truly has been such a remarkable journey with you all. I have created a platform, on you guys have allowed me to continue to tell my story and take you all on the journey with me. 

Truthfully, this post is my start over post. A to Zen of Life Blogging will be remodeled. Many of you can see the layout is different before and so I wanted to take the time to share with you the direction of the new blog. 

Purpose: Always remembering my purpose for this platform is important. In my previous posts, I wrote about it consistently. I always made it known that this platform was created not just for me but for you. I wanted to create something that would allow me to grow and flourish as I told me story and poured my heart and soul to you all. Most of my posts are personal, but most are also broader topics. It’s important to also remember that my blog is based on a way of life that believes in ultimate peace. A to Zen: is to be Zen. To find that space within you to create an ultimate sanctuary for inner peace and love. This space is for you to share , create , and enjoy. I have always loved that I can touch someone’s heart by being simply myself, and expressing it through words is one of the greatest feelings, it’s super unexplained but I want you to know that you all are very important to me and my growing process. 

New direction:

 A to Zen of Life again, will be headed towards a new direction. I will continue to do my personal posts, about life, and still recreate many of my memories through you: my audience. Most importantly I want to share my other thoughts with you as well. And so, I have created a new page titled “Zen Space”.

 On this page, please know that this is where you will be featured. In this space I will mention any features of the month. For example: my collaborators, those who have shared a thought or idea with me, or someone who has been doing something inspirational and empowering for me, and so I want to be able to share that with you all. 

This page will also include a (News Flash) in which I will talk about random news happening around the world that sticks out or is of importance to me. I will include any events I’ll be attending and the purpose behind them. Etc. I will also be posting my poetry  , something that I a find myself writing and creating more often but I don’t normally post it as often because I realize that most of the time , the more words the better. Yet stay tuned for the short sweet goodness that I will be creating for you all. You’ll get my daily thoughts, but also some of my most intimate ones as I create my erotica, or and symbolic lovey doves poems for all my lovers out there.  

I also want you to know that I plan on taking advantage of the platform to talk about different subjects as well: trending topics most importantly that should receive more in depth details, thoughts or opinion (example: Silence R-Kelly blog post coming soon). I realized that talking about more than one thing is crucial to this platform because it creates bonds , and more importantly it creates that safe place that I also wanted to create in the 1st place. 

I will also be posting videos. My curly hair journey will be featured here exclusively on my platform as I re-grow my curls, talk about the products I’m using, the pricing, reactions etc. It gives you all the opportunity to go on the journey with me, but it also allows for you all to truly get to know me through hearing my voice as well. My makeup posts will be shared on IG, but also on this platform as well as I’ll probably create small videos, tutorials or a slide show , I still haven’t decided on how I want to project that yet. 

And last but not least , I have become a writer for another blog known as LatinxUnidx. A blog that focuses on sharing perspective while also educating many on the Latin community and what’s constantly going on our community. So please stay tuned as I’ll be doing crossover posts as well. I’ll post links in my column section for you to read my featured articles of the month on that website in which I talk about a variety of things as well through that platform. I also might crossover the blogs by posting those pieces here and having that blog link to this one, either way, you will be able to access me on two platforms that were uniquely created and curated to give you the readers the best experience ever. 

And so, welcome back. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the new journey that we will be embarking.  Together.
