About

I want to thank you for your kind comments.

Muchas gra­cias hermano,

Hi Diego,

Ear­lier today I saw that my wife was read­ing one of your posts. I believe it was your post on the evening with Dan Mill­man.
She came across your blog by doing a search on Google.

While she was read­ing it, she made a com­ment to me sug­gest­ing that I read it too and gave me no fur­ther details. Hours later when I finally decided to sit in front of the PC and read your blog I became fas­ci­nated by it.

First of all, your blog is some­what inspir­ing to me. I have always been mildly inter­ested in start­ing a blog, but being such a gen­er­al­ist myself I’ve never known where to start. My inten­tion has always been to ignite people’s curios­ity and chal­lenge them to see life in a way that would help them to live more bal­anced and peace­ful lives. Also to make them aware of infor­ma­tion that wouldn’t usu­ally be made avail­able through the main­stream media.

Fur­ther­more, I found that we seem to have a few other things in common:

- We’re both from Latin Amer­ica. I came to Aus­tralia 7 years ago. I was born and bred (as they say here in Oz) in the Domini­can Repub­lic. So we’re both “lati­nos” and Spanish-speakers.

- I too attended the Peace­ful War­rior evening with Dan Mill­man, and realised that if I had also been to the work­shop I would have most cer­tainly met you.

To end this com­ment I will add that your blog seems to be filled with many inter­est­ing posts and I will surely be com­ment­ing on some of those in the near future. I merely wanted to intro­duce myself today.

I didn’t write this com­ment in Span­ish as I gather that most of your read­ers are only flu­ent in The Bard’s lan­guage and thought I would save you the trou­ble of trans­lat­ing all this.

Con­grat­u­la­tions on a won­der­ful blog and all the very best.

Until you hear from me again… which will be soon…

Se despide con un saludo cor­dial,
Gibran

Gday ‘you crazy south american‘

Love your work here bros.. your involved, crazy, provo­co­tive and encour­ag­ing all rolled into one, well done.

Most likely crazy enough to make a good fire­fighter. After all why run into a build­ing other peo­ple run out of?

You are absolutely awe­some and thankyou for push­ing me gen­tly for­ward to face my fear. You are a sweet, gen­er­ous and inspir­ing per­son .……wish more peo­ple were as crazy as you!.….…..I hope to see you again soon, Elise.
Hey by the way, I was at the same Michael Buble con­cert! I love him and am inspired by his way with people.

DIEGO’s RESPONSE:
Hello Elise, what a lovely sur­prise to see you paid us a visit! I was delighted to give you that ‘nudge’ at yesterday’s sem­i­nar towards par­tic­i­pat­ing in the exer­cise. I was very proud of your demon­stra­tion of courage in the face of quite a sig­nif­i­cant amount of fear. Well done!!

If you haven’t done it already, you may want to check the Peace­ful War­rior Series; I believe you will find some use­ful knowl­edge in that series of arti­cles, and enjoy it as much as you enjoyed the Michael Buble series. Click here to visit the Peace­ful War­rior series.

Thanks also for your com­ments about the Michael Buble arti­cle series. I was very happy to hear that you too are a Michael Buble fan, and that like me, you were inspired by his tal­ents with peo­ple. There is a lot that we all can learn from him, isn’t there?

Hola Diego,
Soy Colom­biana como ud y tam­bien viviendo fuera de mi ado­rado pais en Esto­colmo Sue­cia. Llegue a su blogg porque and­aba bus­cando un poema de Pablo Neruda (Queda Pro­hibido)… y estoy abso­lu­ta­mente fasci­nada! La ver­dad no acos­tum­bro a man­dar men­sajes a extraños y ni tiempo tengo de nave­gar en inter­net, pero me ale­gra muchisimo haber lle­gado aqui y ver que nue­stro pais tiene gente pila y che­vere com usted. Lo quiero felic­i­tar y tal vez si le interesa com­par­tirle algunos de mis pen­samien­tos (muy humilde­mente). Gra­cias en nom­bre de los niños y demas per­sonas que se han ben­e­fi­ci­ado gra­cias a que ud ha pro­mo­cionado sus orga­ni­za­ciones y gra­cias por seguir ayu­dando y no perder la esper­anza de que nue­stro pais puede ser un lugar mejor y en paz.
Me inspiro!!!
Un saludo, Lil­iana Rizopulos

DIEGO’S RESPONSE:
Lil­iana, mil gra­cias por tomarte el tiempo para escribir en mi blog. Son comen­tar­ios como los tuyos los que me dan animo para seguir pub­li­cando sem­anal­mente artic­u­los en los que com­parto lo que he apren­dido. En tu comen­tario me sug­eriste que podrias com­par­tir algunos de tus pen­samien­tos con­migo; me fasci­naria que lo hicieras, bien en comen­tar­ios en el blog, o por correo electronico.

Nue­va­mente mil gra­cias por tomarte el tiempo para escribirme, y un abrazo muy grande. Entre otras, leiste algunos de los poe­mas que yo he escrito en ingles? Me fasci­naria saber como te parecieron…

Un abrazo muy cor­dial de Diego, The crazy Colombian
