En español


Hola querida, 


Antes que nada quiero que sepas que te veo. 


Veo a esa chica con sueños demasiado grandes para caber en la pequeña caja en la que el mundo insiste en colocarte. 

A la que le han dicho qué papel interpretar, cómo comportarse, qué es “posible” para ella — todo por el condicionamiento heredado de generaciones anteriores.


Yo también cargué con ese peso. 


No fue hasta que comencé mi proceso de sanación que descubrí algo poderoso: yo estaba destinada a más. 

Y tú también lo eres. El día que me di permiso de soñar en grande, todo cambió. Todo lo que quería de pronto estaba disponible para mí — yo solo necesitaba creer en mí misma y estar lista para recibirlo. 


He aprendido tres verdades que quiero  compartir contigo: 


  1. Nosotras les enseñamos a los demás cómo deben tratarnos. Durante mucho tiempo viví con una “mentalidad de descartable” — frágil, desechable, temporal. Y exactamente así me trataba el mundo, porque yo lo permitía. Pero cuando empecé a verme como porcelana fina, como cristal — única, valiosa, irreemplazable — la gente empezó a tratarme de manera diferente. Valórate, y los demás también lo harán.

  2. No estamos aquí para vivir según las creencias de otros. Me di cuenta de que había sido domesticada, amansada por las expectativas ajenas. Acepté sus creencias y percepciones de mi como verdades, cuando en el fondo siempre supe que estaba destinada a más. El día que me detuve, miré mis bendiciones y tuve conversaciones sinceras con Dios sobre mis sueños, cambié mi frecuencia. Manifestar es simplemente sintonizar la frecuencia de lo que ya está destinado para ti. Como una estación de radio, debes alinear tu vibración, tu energía. Tu vida es una sociedad con el Creador — Él colocó esos sueños dentro de ti por una razón. Y sí, Dios permite dar vueltas en U. Puedes reinventarte. Los errores no son fracasos; son lecciones que te dan claridad y fuerza. 

  3. No puedes cambiar a nadie — solo puedes inspirarlos. Durante mucho tiempo intenté salvar y arreglar entre comillas a otros. Pero la verdad es que solo puedo vivir mi vida plenamente, y así convertirme en un cartel de posibilidades en un ejemplo para otros. Si alguien está listo para elevarse, mi luz puede encender la suya. Si no, ese es su camino. No estás aquí para disminuir o atenuar tu luz por nadie. Estás aquí para brillar tan fuerte que les recuerdes lo que también es posible para ellos. 


Tu vida es un lienzo en blanco. Ya tienes todos los colores para crear tu propia obra maestra. Honra cada versión de ti misma — la niña que fuiste, la mujer que eres, y la que estás por convertirte. Nunca, jamás te encojas para encajar. Date permiso para vivir plenamente, amar profundamente y crecer en tu suficiencia. Eres digna. Eres poderosa. Ya eres completa. Cree en ti misma y observa lo que la vida tiene para ti.


Con todo mi amor,

Claudia

Hello my dear one,


Before anything I want to tell you that I see you. I see the girl with dreams too big to fit into the small box the world keeps insisting on placing you in. The one who has been told what role to play, how to behave, and what is “possible” for her — all because of the conditioning passed down from generations before. I carried that same weight too.


It wasn’t until I began my healing process that I discovered something powerful: I was meant for more. And so are you. The day I gave myself permission to dream bigger, everything changed. Everything I wanted was already available to me — I only needed to believe in myself and be ready to receive it.


I’ve learned three truths that I want to gift you:


1. We teach others how to treat us.
For a long time I lived with a “Styrofoam mentality” — fragile, disposable, temporary. And that is exactly how the world treated me, because I allowed it. But when I began to see myself as fine porcelain, as crystal — unique, valuable, irreplaceable — people began to treat me differently. Value yourself, and others will value you too.

2. We are not here to live by the beliefs of others.
I realized I had been domesticated, tamed by the expectations of those around me. I accepted their beliefs as truth, when deep down I always knew I was meant for more. The day I paused, looked at my blessings, and had honest conversations with God about my dreams, I shifted my frequency. Manifestation is simply tuning in to the frequency of what is already destined for you. Like a radio station, you must align your vibration. Your life is a partnership with the Creator — He placed those dreams inside you for a reason. And yes, God allows U-turns. You can reinvent yourself. Mistakes are not failures; they are lessons that give you clarity and strength.

3. You cannot change anyone — you can only inspire them..
For a long time I tried to save and fix others. But the truth is, I can only live my life fully, as a billboard of possibility. If someone is ready to rise, my light may ignite theirs. If not, that is their path. You are not here to dim your light for anyone. You are here to shine so brightly that you remind others of what is possible for them too.


My love, your life is a blank canvas. You already hold every color you need to create your own masterpiece. Honor every version of yourself — the girl you were, the woman you are now, and the one you are becoming. Never, ever shrink to fit. Give yourself permission to live fully, to love deeply, and to grow into your enoughness. You are worthy. You are powerful. You are already whole.


Believe in yourself, and watch what unfolds.


With all my love,

Claudia
