Excited to join this community!

Hi fellow Steemians,

This is my first post, and I’m really excited about it. A friend introduced me recently, and I was blown away with all the people and content here in this community.

So Who is Lulita?

I had the guts to drop out my last year of Medical School!
I was 10 months away to become a Doctor in Cuba when I left my Medical career to emigrate to US and pursue my dreams. This has been one of the best decisions of my life so far!

As an immigrant, I went through a lot of struggles the first few years, but it was worth it because I’m living most of my dreams right now!

Imagine if you were the only owner of your time?
Think about this question for a second...
I can say life is all about that, isn't it?
Certainly, It's more than that… I’m all about helping others achieve this time freedom too.

I already know that "lived happily ever after" were stories from Disney (I create my own happiness from inside because nobody or nothing makes me happy). I found out I'm my best ally, and now I laugh at things that before made me cry. I recognize those who are my real friends, and I enjoy looking at them in silence.

To me, be somewhere with somebody is a choice, not an obligation. I don't do diets. I take care of my health to keep my life in balance. As a woman, I personally think it's more important to have a brain than have a fake body (That's why I don't take years from my life, I put life into my years).

I recognize a hug and a cuddle that slow down my time as well as a great conversation. I have this remarkable feeling of "self-acceptance" although I'm still a work in process. I never seek revenge, I move on and let karma do the dirty work for me. I have accumulated lot of stories that cause me unexpected smiles. Stories that gives me the same glow when I was a teenager but now with the sensuality of a woman. I live one day at the time pursuing what I really want, and I recognize with certainty, what I don't want.

I have been working from home with my husband for the past 10 years while raising 2 children and 2 dogs. They are the ones that really shines my days.
As a mom, I’m in the life stage now of dealing with teenager’s moods, guiding them toward their future, and experiencing the craziness of teaching them how to be first time drivers (I think this is a big challenge)

My hobby? I’m very passionate about Vintage Volkswagens… Besides having luxury cars, I prefer to drive my old beetle on a daily basis. Why?

I get to meet all kinds of new people: Tow truck drivers, mechanics, and random good Samaritans on the side of the road. My hands are rarely clean, and I smell gasoline most of the time when driving my old bug.

Summer time in Florida feels like an oven without A/C, and my clothes sometimes get some "character" stains. I avoid highways like it is poison, and I can experience good adrenaline for the lack of air bags and road safety. I feel closer to God praying to arrive at my destination, but in other cases my "vocabulary" increases when I don't arrive.

Beside all of that, I love seeing people on the road smiling with thumps up, punching at each other, or telling me a good old fashion beetle story from decades ago.

I hope to meet a lot a new people here and build some great friendships.

Welcome to Steemit! Nice post :-)

I personally think it's more important to have a brain than have a fake butt and boobs
You'll feel yourself at home here! Still haven't seen fake-butt-and-boob persons around here :p

Lots of troubles with the Beetle? It's an attractive car and unfortunately never see those anymore. You didn't mention the surfboard on top of the car. Do you surf?
Take good care of that beautiful German car!

Any ways you can get your kids on here? Steemit has a lot of secret powers!
It gives an insight in lots of people's minds. Maybe the platform could show the path to their futures.

Take care! <3

Thank you. The beetle has been running smooth after the restoration, and the kids are on their way to Crypto Currency world already. I hope to bring them here, so they learn more.

Looking forward to their introduction posts!
Followed you!

Thank you

I forgot to tell you, I don't surf. That's just the theme of my bug since I love playing "Beach Boys" music while driving it. LOL

@lulita What a fun post. And how courageous (crazy?) to drive around in a vintage "bug"! I love that you choose to see the positive side to the, ahem, situations...

Yes, everyone loves my bug. The other day I stopped at a local store, and the guy said: Aren't you the bug lady? LOL

Ha ha! Nice to be recognized too!

😂😂😂

Thank you, Great articles...

Nice introduction, and I like your artistic wording. I especially like how you focus on time and freedom. I fully agree: time is always of value. Even though we get 24 hours every day with no conditions, at some point this seemingly inexhaustible well is bound to dry up. So we better spend it on something nice while we have it.
Oh, and congrats for dropping out of med school, especially in your last year. (Didn't el Che do that too?) I think it takes a special kind of courage to do that, or a deep appreciation of the present. Good character traits, in any case.

Yes, Time freedom is more important than anything in this world. Like you can always make more money, but can not make more time. Its' the best commodity we have. That's why is so important spend it wisely as you mentioned. Oh please, don't remind me that assassin Che, I grew up listening so many lies about him from the Cuban dictatorship. LOL

Cute beetle car.... 👌☺️

Hola Lulita Thanks for your original Introduction, I would like to write as you.
I am going to be one of your first followers. i hope you follow me as well.


Hola Lulita gracias por esa introducción tan genial, me gustaría escribir tambien como tu.
yo voy hacer uno de tus primeros seguidores espero que tu me sigas igual

Hola, ya te estoy siguiendo...Yo estudie Ingles por 2 anos en la universidad cuando llegue a la Florida. Es una de las mejores cosas que hecho pues todo es mucho mas facil aqui con los 2 idiomas.

Wow el cambio de un país a otro a de ser un shock cultural aunque tengas compatriotas, yo e conocido Mexicanos que viven en USA y su forma de pensar tambien cambia. lo mejor que tenemos los seres humanos es que nos adaptamos.

Felicidades por seguir tu sueño.

El cambio de Cuba a US es mucho mas grande pues en nuestra isla no hay acceso a internet y es como vivir en los anos 50". La dictadura Castrista ha tenido al pueblo ciego por decadas. Ahora es que se esta empezando a actualizar con celulares e internet en ciertos lugares y es bien costoso para los que viven alla.

Welcome. I'm a newbie also, I wish you luck with your steemit career!

Thank you. I hope the best to you too!

Thank you!

Cool indeed! BTW, I watched a TV series about classic car owners in Havana -- wow that city has some classics!

Yes, but because of the Cuban embargo, most of the cars inside has Russian and Asian parts. The Cuban spirit is: whatever it takes to keep them running ...LOL

That came through clearly in the series -- necessity is indeed the mother of invention;-)

Yes, indeed.

beautiful !

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it...

holi eres bella :*

Gracias, tu tambien.

You have a vintage Beetle and love old VW's? Well, that's enough for me to follow you :D Welcome to Steemit, and hope you have great success here! :)

Yes, I have my beetle for 4 years already. Now is my daily drive. And I like to play "Beach Boys" music in it. 😀

Great post, amazing story !!

Thank you.

my first car was a brand new VW bug. Had it for 3 1/2 years, sold it for something bigger. Sorry I did, fun to drive and worth money today. Welcome, have fun on steemit.

I had mine for 4 years already. It's a 73' super beetle completely restored, and now is my daily drive. Love it.

hey hey... im on your page ;-)

Thank you. Feel free to give me your feedback.

Good thing you joined STEEM . I hope it will surpass FB

Thank you. I think the same too...And not just because you have the financial reward attached to, but because it's like a social media involved with the Crypto currency world.

I also like vintage volkwagens, nice car (:

Thank you. I love my bug 😀

Hi Lulita, welcome!

Thank you. I'm new here and still learning a lot...
