Patience is NOT my virtue
August 23, 2015
By: Gina Yoryet
It´s NEVER been, but I keep trying
“Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them– every day begin the task anew.” ~ Francis de Sales
As a good catholic, I should NOT be disturbed about the daily circumstances but I am. When I am subdued by my insecurities everything else fails. My attempts to reach patience evaporate. Lately I have had very little tolerance towards everything and everyone. Now that the day is coming to an end, I feel a bit remorseful for that.
God is Patient
Numbers 14:18 (KJV) ‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation.’
Psalm 86:15 (KJV) But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
Nahum 1:3 The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and the LORD will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Romans 2:3-4 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
Limits of Patience
Genesis 6:3 Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.”
Proverbs 29:1 He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing.
Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.
Jeremiah 44:22 The LORD could no longer bear your evil deeds and the abominations that you committed. Therefore your land has become a desolation and a waste and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day.
Matthew 25:41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels…” (Jesus speaking)
Evidence of the Holy Spirit
2 Corinthians 12:12 The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with utmost patience, with signs and wonders and mighty works.
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Ephesians 4:1-3 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Colossians 1:11-12 May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
Colossians 3:12-13 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
Luke 8:15 “… As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience.” (Jesus speaking in the parable of the sower).
Romans 2:6-7 He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life…
Romans 8:24-25 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
1 Timothy 1:16 But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.
Hebrews 6:11-12 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Christian Quotes About Patience
“The times we find ourselves having to wait on others may be the perfect opportunities to train ourselves to wait on the Lord.” ~ Joni Eareckson Tada
“If I have not the patience of my Saviour with the souls who grow slowly; if I know little of travail (a sharp and painful thing) till Christ be fully formed in them, then I know nothing of Calvary love.” ~ Amy Carmichael
Spirituality, family, work and business ethics, health and fitness, charity work, reading, playing with words, reflecting and embracing the simplicity of life...

Spanish origin
Spanish origin
August 17, 2015
Last Thursday our PELE Spanish as a Foreign Language Teacher Training teacher, gave us a fascinating reading about the origin of the Spanish language called, El español nació del latín - Spanish derives from Latin. We were put in groups to create either a song or a poem based on this reading in only fifteen minutes. I am very creative but when I am working under my own time constraints. I am a self didact, I do better with learning at my own pace, I don´t do as well learning under someone else´s instructions.
Anyhow, one of the girls in my team is a poet so that made it much easier to come up with a small poem. Here´s what she basically came up with (I won´t translate it because it´ll defeat the sole purpose that Spanish provides it):
El español nació del latín
¡Oh Roma conquistadora!
Nos diste culto, nos diste lengua.
El latín murió hace mucho,
más el común llegó a la Iberia
al mismo tiempo que Mahoma.
De su sinergia surgió el romance; portugués, italiano,
francés y otras lenguas.
Colón aprendió azteca,
y así nació el Mexicano.

One of my biggest defiances
One of my biggest defiances
August 15, 2015
By: Gina Yoryet Román
Late last year, I drew a mental map of the three most important professional goals I was to accomplish before 2015 came to an end. Now, the end of 2015 is drawing nearer and so far, I´ve crossed out one of them. The other two are in progress, that mission will be accomplished late November, early December.
One of those assignments is pulling me away from putting more time into updating my blog more often, I feel as if I were being disloyal to one of my passions because I´ve kind of abandoned Gina Yoryet in an ongoing basis. There really is no excuse BUT! I´ve been writing arduously, I am just unable to visualize the results just yet.
Another reason I´ve been kind of thrown off track is the FPELE Spanish as a Foreign Language Teacher Training that started on Monday August 10, just a few days ago. It is a huge challenge because I am no longer used to being a student. As a teacher, I love doing my homework, I enjoy preparing, finding new information to make my classes more fun and interactive. Life is another story as a student, I am not as outspoken as my classmates, I don´t have the same energy, and it is hard for me to find words to express myself verbally...(specially in Spanish)
It is somewhat of a paradox to imply that I am at a loss to express myself in words when I am an ‘expert’ with words. I mean, I’ve worked arduously to put myself at a place where some individuals are not able to reach (not because they are incapable, but more so because of the fear and insecurity of failing). I give radio talks about Health and Fitness, business writing, and/or Women Entrepreneurs, as an Educator, Interpreter and Trainer, speaking is a necessity, not a choice, Moreover, because for the last fifteen years I’ve been sought for advice to put ideas into words. Therefrom, it is an arbitrary acrimony for me to say that I find it 'hard' to express myself in words.
The reasoning behind it is my personality, I hold my self-hood accountable for that. In Middle school and High School I was always voted as the most reserved and quiet. In my college and early profession, that affair was still lingering around but I dared to conceal and control it. As a high rendering athlete, professional and fighter, I could not allow my weakest traits override the warrior within, those tiny matters lying within could not control me. Ironically all the inner angst has always been there. It is once again knocking on my window, one more time I am ravaged by skepticism, in particular now that I’ve been in direct, intense and clear contact with my native language; Spanish.
This romance language is NOT as romantic as its own name portrays it. Albeit the beauty and intrigue involved in anything that entails to it. Spanish is genuinely descriptive and wordy, there is a whole lot of embellishment, whereas English is more narrow, and precise, more practical. Spanish is more beating around the bush; on the other hand, English is more direct. English is my comfort language, au contraire, Spanish is my timidity.
As I carefully monitor my peers, I am cognizant of how much knowledge and verbal skills I lack from my own language. I feel a stranger to it. But that won’t stop me from tackling all my weaknesses until I can master this subject because I am NOTHING but a student of life and an instrument of God, triggered and guided by my passions, dictated by my heart, strengthened by my faith, and I chose to keep learning.

My latest power foods
My latest power foods
August 9. 2015
By: Gina Yoryet Román
I always get a kick of digging out information about the latest power foods and I pride myself educating people and sharing my knowledge. Week by week I make sure to get thoroughly informed to experience with the most recent health trends. During the last few weeks, I´ve experienced with two super foods I read about.
One of them was banana peels, on July 19, while skimming through yahoo news, my eyes weekly got caught on this headline, “The One Crazy-Delicious Weight-Loss Food We Know You’re Not Eating.” According to Tara Cox, banana peels contain vitamin A, lutein, antioxidants like vitamin B, fiber, boost feelings of fullness, lower cholesterol.
The color of the banana peel works for different things, for example green peels are better to cook with, they contain probiotics, resistant starch. Whereas, yellow peel contain anti-cancer qualities unlike green peels. Among other benefits, that’s why I tried a delicious power shake and I was surprised about the sweet taste.
Here's the full article to get a better scope:
The One Crazy-Delicious Weight-Loss Food We Know You're Not Eating
Cucumbers is my next power food which I introduced just yesterday in a way. I cut up a whole cucumber in small round slices, and I ate it with the peel. I had actually tried cucumber in water a few times before, just like a lemonade after reading about it a while ago. But I was not cognizant to all the nutritious benefits this green veggie had. Cucumbers have the following Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, Folic Acid, Calcium, Vitamin C, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, and Zinc. I am glad I read this before picking up a supply of Vitamin C and Magnesium at the pharmacy to speed up my knee recovery! Every time I try something new, it is not to lose weight, it is more about building a more resilient body, especially with aging. The best strategy to lose weight is working out and eating healthy. Since I am VERY limited because of my knee, I have to be very careful with what I eat!
Cucumber aroma in hot water creates a soothing scent that helps you relax, among other benefits, cucumber help fight a hangover, they can also give you an energy boost, just like coffee. I also learned that a few slices of cucumber in water, boost weight loss. I only drink and try new things because of all the properties they contain, like I mentioned previously.
10 things you didn´t know about cucumbers
Another one of nature’s exquisite gifts to humanity is, a yummy green veggie known as plant for the Gods, or God´s healing plant - the cactus.
Since I was little, I recall my mother integrating cactus in pico de gallo, grilled cactus, or cactus in a special Mexican style sauce with chicken and/or beef. My favorite style is cactus on the grill by far. Recently, my progenitor taught me another one of her secret recipes (I never developed an interest in domestic chores because I never had the real need to do it, as there was always someone else to do it and cater to the spoiled little me).
Here's the easy recipe!
Buy some small or large cactus at mercado Alcalde, one of the oldest markets in Guadalajara.
Wash them thoroughly.
Put a little bit of olive oil in a pan, chop up a few garlic cloves and onion in small chunks, and put them in the pan. Wait a few minutes before you put the cactus.
Once the cactus are in the pan, add a little bit of oregano to give it a special flavouring, add either regular salt, or garlic salt.
Wait for a few minutes, until you see the toasted garlic. Delicious!
It is one of the easiest and quickest recipes I learned earlier this year. Anyhow, last month when I did volunteer teaching, I personally fixed Father Lillard different meals that included cactus. He didn’t know all the marvelous health benefits this delicious plant contains, and he didn’t believe that I am a novice in cooking matters!!!
Anyhow, this plant has multiple benefits. It helps regulate sugar in the blood, it contains eighteen aminoacids which boost your energy level and they help fight fatigue. Cactus strengthens the liver and the pancreas, it produces insulin production. It also contains Vitamins B1, B2, B3, and C, calcium, magnesium, sodium potassium, iron. It contains fiber that help a better digestion. It helps reduce cellulitis, and slow down the obesity process. It helps improve the circulatory, immune, nervous, urinary system, gastric ulcers, they protect the stomach and intestines.
In addition to that, it is used for home remedies such as: burns, inflammation, hernia, ulcers, fever, tooth ache, and in beauty treatments like facials, dry hair, among many other goodies that you can experiment with.
I could write a book about all the health benefits my latest power foods provide but now is not the time...
