Olvida a tu Ex con Facebook por: Jyotsna Ramani

Get Over Your Ex with Facebook by: Jyotsna Ramani

as relaciones son importantes en nuestra vida, pero no todas las relaciones son fructíferas y maduras. Vivimos en un estilo de vida estresante y agitado y hay varias personas que sufren de relaciones rotas y quieren superarlo y seguir adelante con otras cosas y prioridades en la vida. Millones depersonas hoy en dia hacen uso de redes sociales como Facebook y a menudo publican información y actualizan su estado civil lo cual permite que otros tengan una visión en su perfil.

elationships are important in our life, but not all relationships are fruitful and mature into something beautiful. We live in stressful and hectic lifestyle and there are various people that suffer from broken relationships and want to get over it and move on with other things and priorities in life. Millions today make use of social networking websites like Facebook and they often post information and update their relationship status that allow others to take a view into their profile.

Sin embargo, esto puede salir mal después de que terminas con tu pareja y no quieres que tu ex vea toda la información de tu perfil. Facebook anuncio que podría tener una nueva característica en su sitio web la cual hará más fácil romper con tu novio o novia. Con esta caracteristica nueva podras cambiar el estado de la relación e indicar que él o ella ya no está unida con su pareja. Una vez que el estado de la relación ha cambiado, las personas verán menos el perfil y el nombre de su ex y de manera similar no mostrará los posts en el perfil de su ex. La nueva característica también hará posible que no sugiera etiquetar al ex en imágenes o aparecer en el perfil de su ex proporcionándoles una mejor experiencia y seguridad en el futuro.

However, this can go wrong once you’re not on the same terms with your partner and you don’t want your ex to view all the information from your profile. Facebook has now announced that they might come up with a new feature which can make online break up easier than before. This will happen when an individual will change the relationship status and indicate that he or she is no longer attached with the partner. Once the relationship status has been changed, individuals will see less of their ex’s profile and name and similarly their posts will not show up in their ex’s profile. The new feature will also make it possible to not suggest to tag the suggested person in pictures or show up in their ex’s profile providing them with better experience and security in the future.

One for the Road

3 Peliculas Mexicanas Nominadas al Oscar que Debes de Ver

3 Must Watch Oscar Nominated Mexican Movies

by: Jyotsna Ramani

Películas mexicanas están en la lista de peliculas mas recomendadas para ver. # 3. Elvira - El lema de esta drama es “Yo te daría mi vida, pero lo estoy usando.” Esta trágica comedia protagonizada por Cecilia Suárez ha sido bien recibida por los fans y críticos. El guión tiene muchas inconsistencias inconvenientes, pero sigue siendo un buen reloj con un poco de drama, acción y comedia. # 2. Eddie Reynolds y los ángeles de acero - Esta película fue dirigida por el reconocido director Gustavo Moheno. Fue quizás la película más vista que fue lanzada por primera vez en la pantalla grande. Un trama inusual donde una banda de metal se reúne como Bono, de U2, la cual está interesada en su música. Es realmente una de mis pelícuals favoritas ya que es conmovedora e inspiradora y con un poco de humor. #1. One for the Road - Esta es una de las comedias mexicanas más populares lanzadas recientemente. Nos muestra las divertidas aventuras de 3 hombres de la tercera edad que se propusieron un viaje como último deseo de su querido amigo el cual esta en lecho de muerte. Esta película esta llena de risas y ha sido aplaudida por varios críticos. Por lo tanto, si usted está de humor para ver una película mexicana atrevida, saca las palomitas de maíz y disfrute de cualquira de una de estas 3 películas. Seguramente va a pasar un buen rato.

Fiery Mexican flicks are on must watch list of every avid movie buff. Here is my handpicked list of the top 3 Oscar nominated Mexican films of all time. #3. Elvira – The tagline for this drama is – “I will give you my life but I’m using it.” This tragic comedy starring Cecilia Suarez has been well received by fans and critics alike. The script has a lot of inconsistencies which is a downside but it is still a good watch with some drama, action and comedy sprinkled in for good measure. #2. Eddie Reynolds and the Angels of Steel – This movie was masterfully directed by the renowned director Gustavo Moheno. It was perhaps the most watched movie when it was first released. An unusual plot where a metal band reunites as Bono, from U2, is interested in their music. Its about second chances and dreams coming true for musicians. One of my favourites as it is heart-warming and inspiring with a few good laughs as well. #1. One for the Road – This is one the most popular Mexican comedies released recently. It shows us the hilarious adventures of 3 seniors who set out on a trip as the last wish of their beloved friend on death bed. It is full of laughs and has been applauded by critics. So, if you are in the mood to watch a sassy Mexican movie, then grab your popcorn and set out to watch one of these 3 movies. You will be sure to have a great time.

Propósito en de la Vida Muchos pensamientos hay en el corazón del hombre; Mas el consejo de Jehová permanecerá. - Proverbios 19:21 Todos nacemos con un propósito. No estamos aquí por casualidad, sino para cumplir un destino dado por Dios. Podemos tener muchos planes para nuestras vidas, pero como este versículo dice: “ Es el propósito del Señor que permanezca”. A veces Dios puede cambiar la dirección hacia donde vamos. A veces puede ser un cambio radical, o aveces sólo un ligero ajuste. Tenemos que pedirle a Dios que nos muestre su propósito para nuestras vidas - lo que Él quiere que hagamos . Él nos mostrará y nos ayudará a tomar medidas para el cumplimiento de la misma.

Purpose In Life “...Many plans are in a man’s mind, but it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand....” - Proverbs 19: 21 We are all born for a purpose. We are not here by accident, but to fulfil a God-given destiny. We may have many plans for our lives, but as this verse says, “it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand.” Sometimes God can change the direction we are going in. Sometimes it can be a radical change, or sometimes just a slight adjustment. We need to ask God to show us His purpose for our lives - what He wants us to do. He will show us and help us to take steps towards fulfilling it.

Hábitos que Mantienen a los- Habits that Keep Marriages Matrimonios Fuertes Strong

por: Jyotsna Ramani

lo mejor has oído el término 'Felices para siempre' al final de la mayoría de historias románticas o novelas, pero en la vida real el vivir feliz no es tan fácil. Con el tipo de estilo de vida agitado que vivimos, es probable que ocasione peleas, malos entendidos y problemas que pueden conducir a problemas más grandes, y con el tiempo llevan al divorcio. Sin embargo, hay ciertos hábitos que pueden ayudar a mantener tu matrimonio fuerte y seguir adelante con tu pareja para siempre. Comunicar de forma clara - Los malentendidos se producen debido a la falta de comunicación y es en donde hay que trabajar. Hay parejas que nunca se comunican entre ellas. Comuníquese diariamente y comparta sus pensamientos, opiniones y sentimientos. Cuando no hablas con tu pareja a menudo es imposible saber que estás pasando. Dedicar tiempo - En un mundo muy estresante, nos perdemos tiempo de calidad con nuestros seres queridos. Siempre asegúrese de que usted le dé suficiente atención y tiempo a su pareja y pasar algún tiempo de calidad juntos, no porque tengas miedo a las rupturas sino porque ama a su pareja. Tome tiempo con su pareja entre semana o fines de semana en el cual mantenga un lado su smartphone. Añada Sorpresas - ¿Cómo te sientes cuando obtienes algo que no esperabas? La felicidad es algo que obtenemos cuando alguien nos sorprende con algo agradable. La mayoría de las parejas están ocupadas en su propio espacio después del matrimonio y la vida rutinaria termina a menudo de una manera agria. Para añadir un poco de dulzura a esa amargura necesitas una pequeña dosis de sorpresas de vez en cuando, para asegurarse de que su matrimonio este fuerte y saludable. Las sorpresas pueden ser simples y de bajo presupuesto y no importa si sus intenciones son puras.

ou must have heard the term ‘Happily Ever After’ in most stories towards the end, but in the real life living happily ever after isn’t that easy. With the kind of hectic lifestyle we live, there are bound to be quarrels, misunderstandings and issues that can lead to bigger problems eventually leading to divorce and break ups. However, there are certain habits that can help you to keep your marriage strong and keep going with your partner forever.

Communicate Clearly – Misunderstandings occur due to miscommunication and that is where you need to work on. There are couples that never really speak to each other and lot of things turn worse based on assumptions. Communicate with your partner on a daily basis and share your thoughts, views and feelings and even dreams with each other so that you know where you both stand and how you can help each other. When you don’t talk with your partner you often fail to explain them what you’re going through. Devote Time – In a hectic world, we often miss out on devoting time to our loved ones. Always make sure that you give enough attention and time to your partner and spend some quality time together, not because you’re scared of break ups but because you love him or her. You can always spare an hour for your partner in a day or on weekends where you keep aside your smartphone and focus on your loved ones. When you devote time to your partner you often provide them with happiness that they seek and that builds up your marriage in many ways. Add Surprises – How do you feel when you get something that you didn’t expect? Happiness is something that we derive when someone surprises us with something pleasant. Most couples are busy in their own space after marriage and that routine life often ends up sour. To add some sweetness to that sour life you need a little dose of surprises every now and then to ensure your marriage is strong and healthy. Surprises can be simple and low budget and that does not matter if your intentions are pure.

#Interviews Conoce a

acida en Michoacán, México, María Erazo emigró a Estados Unidos cuando tenía 15 años junto a su madre en California. Sin embargo, más tarde se trasladó a Michigan, donde se quedó con familiares los cuales no conocia.

Más tarde María fundó la agencia de Marketing ME donde trabaja a la par con varios empresarios ayudándoles a identificar su imagen empresarial. En este programa Erazo, ayuda a desarrollar la identidad personal de cada uno de ellos, definiendo el nombre de su marca y cómo llegar a ser un autor y como beneficiarse de esto emocionalmente y financieramente. Ella comprende los diferentes aspectos del negocio y de esta manera ayuda a las personas para que se conecten con los aspectos positivos de los negocios. Por lo tanto, las sesiones con María por lo general implican un intenso entrenamiento que se centra en la exploración profunda de los individuos y diferentes aspectos del negocio. Ella también ofrece una gran cantidad de programas que se personalizan según las necesidades de los individuos. El programa principal de entrenamiento incluye entrenamiento uno-a-uno diseñado para aquellos que esten dispuestos a dar un paso adelante y tomar un riesgo o decisiones en base a su fuerza de voluntad y sin ningún tipo de restricciones. El programa se centra en mejorar el nivel de desarrollo personal y para obtener una mayor satisfacción en la vida. Por lo tanto, la formación primaria está más conectada con conceptos holísticos como la creación de una estructura empresarial eficiente, eficaz, lanzamiento y posicionamiento de la marca, el aumento de las oportunidades de ventas, capacitación en marketing digital de la nueva era y el uso de la estrategia correcta. También implica cómo utilizar LinkedIn con entrenamiento avanzado, el desarrollo de la iniciativa empresarial, extrayendo el máximo rendimiento del equipo, el desarrollo de la historia y como transformar eso en un libro. Por otro lado, María es también fundadora de la Agencia de Farmers Insurance en Grand Rapids, Michigan, y tiene alrededor de 15 años de experiencia en la industria de seguros. Hace unos años escribio su autobiografía en españotitulada “En Busca de Mi Padre ‘. Su biografía revela una historia inspiradora que incluye sus luchas internas mientras crecía en con su familia en México y todo lo que tuvo que enfrentar; muchos desafíos financieros y cómo ella estaba viviendo lejos de sus padres en Estados Unidos

February 2016 >> Farandulami.com

El libro también explora sus sueños que ella experimentó de niña con ganas de encontrar a su padre y estar cerca de él y al mismo tiempo ser una mujer joven en busca de su identidad cuando se trasladó a Estados Unidos con una capacidad limitada para hablar Inglés. María se relaciona y le gusta ayudar a las mujeres a tomar el control de su vida y proporcionar herramientas para romper el molde y superar las limitaciones impuestas por la sociedad. “Para tener éxito tienes que dejar a un lado la negatividad y creer en tí misma” dijo Erazo. Este tipo de mentalidad la ha transformado y la ha llevado a ser la persona que es hoy en dia. De ser una madre soltera con baja autoestima a una exitosa mujer de negocios y autora. Erazo ha aprendido a reflexionar sobre su vida y ha aprendido a respetarse a sí misma lo cual ha sido una clave para ella para tener éxito en los negocios y en la vida. Mientras que ha estado manejando diversas responsabilidades y roles como empresaria, Erazo fue ganadora de ‘La Cara de Siegel Jewelers’ para convertirse en el rostro de Siegel Jewelers. Erazo siempre tuvo la ilusión de ser modelo cuando era joven, desafortunadamente debido a las circunstancias económicas de su familia la obligaron a trabajar duro para poder mantener a su familia y hacer a un lado sus sueños. Sin embargo, en el 2015, recibió la oportunidad de entrar en esta competición de Siegel Jewelers la cual ganó, siendo la única Latina compitiendo. “Cuando recibí la oferta, muchas inseguridades vinieron a la mente. Pero pensé que si la oportunidad está ahí, debo de aprovecharla”. Dijo Erazo

Maria Erazo The story of her road to success

orn in Michoacan, Mexico, Maria Erazo migrated to the United States when she was 15 years old and she lived with her mother in California at that point of time. However, she later moved on to Michigan where she stayed with her relatives whom she had never met before.

Later on Maria founded The ME Marketing Agency where she works hand in hand with entrepreneurs helping them to identify their business identity. She takes interest in further developing their personal identity that defines their brand name and inculcates in them how to become an author and profit from it emotionally and financially.

She understands different aspects of business and she helps individuals to connect those positive aspects with business. Hence, the sessions with Maria usually involve intense training that focuses on deep exploration of individuals and various aspects of business. She also offers large number of programs that are customized as per the needs of the individuals. The main coaching program includes one-on-one training designed for those who are willing to take a step forward and take a risk or decisions based on their will power and without any constraints. It focuses on improving the level of personal development and to get more satisfaction in life. Hence, the primary training is more connected with holistic concepts like creating an efficient and effective business structure, launching and positioning the brand, increasing sales opportunities, training on new-age digital marketing and using the right strategy. It also involves how to use LinkedIn with advance training, developing entrepreneurship mentality, extracting the most out of the team, developing the story and transforming that into a book. On the other hand, Maria is also the founder of the Farmers Insurance Agency in Grand Rapids, Michigan as she has around 15 years of experience in the insurance industry. She is also a renowned author and she has written her biography in Spanish called ‘En Busca de Mi Padre’. Her biography reveals an inspirational story which includes her inner struggles as she was growing up in a family in Mexico that had to face lot of financial challenges and how she was living away from her parents in the USA. The book also explores her dreams that she experiences as a child wanting to find her father and be around him and at the same time being a young woman searching for her identity when she was moved to the United States with a limited ability to speak English.

Maria can relate and help minority women to take control of their life and provide tools to break the mold and overcome limitations enforced by the society. She believes that to succeed she needs to brush aside negativity and believe in herself which has transformed her into what she is today. From being a single mother with low self esteem to a successful business woman and an author, Maria has learned how to reflect on her life and gain self respect to succeed in business and in life. While Maria has been handling various responsibilities and roles, she has also won ‘Face of Siegel Jewelers’ competition becoming the face of Siegel Jewelers showcasing their jewelry. While Maria always wanted to become a model while she was young, she never had the opportunity to become one due to economical circumstances of her family that forced her to work hard and support her family instead. However, in 2015, she received the opportunity to enter the ‘Face of Siegel Jewelers which she won while she was the only Latina competing. She said, “When I received the offer, many insecurities came to mind. But I thought, if the opportunity is there, I should give it a shot”.
