Figueroa is the Author and Creator of the Loawealth.com Blog. I began this
project over a year ago, when I had no idea what my place, or my passions truly
were. I did not know how to market myself on the internet, I was on a journey of
personal growth and Development. This Site has been over a year in the making in
my Mind, Which is exactly where everything comes from: Success, Failure, Fears,
Joy…they all start in the Mind, and manifests itself into your Reality. This
Blog is dedicated to helping others like myself, who started to question their
existence, their purpose, and now awakened to the burden of TRUTH, choose to
move forward into the unknown to discover their TRUE Essence. Through Self
Study, Introspection, Applied Knowledge, and Yes, Marketing (As Marketing has
deep roots in Self Development) I wish to share my knowledge to Empower Others
to Look Deeper for Meaning and Fulfillment in their lives. Thank you For
Accompanying me on this amazing Journey. Yours… Barbie

My Story

As the second born Girl of a Family of Five, born and raised in Miami, the
struggle to find my true identity began as a young girl. I was quiet, a bit shy,
very inquisitive, and naive. I was labeled a “Dreamer” and was always molded to
fit in a particular box my mother had worked so hard to build for me.

I’d always been tested “gifted” for as long as I can remember. In 2nd grade,
5th Grade and all throughout highschool, I was always in the Advanced placement
Classes.I won a full tuition scholarship to not only One, but Two Schools of my
Choice. One was Florida International University, and the Other was Miami Dade
Community College.

I received a Full Tuition Theatre Scholarship after auditioning among 50
other people Tri-County Wide, and I won.

I also received a Full tuition scholarship - books included - on an Academic
Scholarship to MDCC.

You would have thought this would have been every Mothers Dream!

Despite all my “achievements”  I was holding a secret. A Secret that
carried a huge burden in my heart for the majority of my life.

As bright as I was, I was always the outcast. The Square peg, in the round
hole. 7th or 8th runner up, for home coming queen in highschool.

Close enough to be on the list, but not close enough to make it in the
yearbook.

I remember always thinking I was always too fat, and I was ugly, and dumb,
although everything around me proved different. I mean, I always did well on
tests, teachers loved me, and I was always my grandmothers favorite.

There was always a huge contradiction between who I was on the outside and
how I felt on the inside.

I never truly realized what it was, until I reached adulthood. More
specifically, I began to realize what the root of my “problem” was when I was
around 35.

That is when the Journey into my SELF began.

I’d been holding this secret all my life, for way too long and it followed me
everywhere I went.

Affected everything I did, who I went out with, how I treated myself, and no
matter how hard I tried, I could never escape it, until I finally began to delve
in deeper into the Essence of ME.

What was the Secret?

The Secret was..that I hated myself. I had an immense VOID in the center of
my soul for many many years and I never knew why. No matter how much weight I
lost, no matter how beautiful everyone told me I was, I never believed it.

I truly was unhappy with myself.

I’d been seeking that approval and the LOVE from People outside of myself for
so long, that I NEGLECTED who I was in order to feel LOVE outside of myself,
when all this time, the LOVE I so desired, was right in my Own heart….

I look at pictures of myself and wonder, how on earth could I have ever
thought that of myself…

And it wasn’t until recently, that I really began to understand the human
MIND, what thoughts really are, the imprints certain situations can leave in our
minds, and how those things, if not dealt with and ultimately LET GO, how they
can hold us back, whether we realize it or not.

But it is all not bad, because once I discovered why that VOID just wasn’t
filled, and why it was affecting my life…

I became happier and more fulfilled as time has gone on.

The truth is, I hated myself all these years because I never really knew WHO
or WHAT I was.

I had no connection with My SOUL.

Oh there is so much more to tell, but it would be futile.

Just know this…

Just as you were born alone into this world, so shall you die…

and the only one that can fill the VOID you feel in your heart, is YOU…

and the more you detach yourself from Needing Validation, Approval or
Acceptance…

You will FREE your Self to live Authentically, and fulfilled with yourself
KNOWING…

That you have a direct connection to all that IS and all that will ever BE…

And that YOU are a powerful being who can Attract to you, Whatever it is that
you Want…

It’s not that simple, but it is that simple…

You must just be OPEN to exploration, question…and possibility…

I have so much love in my heart now, that I want to share with those who were
just like me, how they can attract

Wealth, health, people, and circumstances into their lives, they never
thought possible…

For ME, it all started with this one question…(and I recommend you ask it
to yourself)

“With a God that is supposed to be this Powerful, this Huge, This Perfect…
Is this all there is?

Is life Just about Being Born, Paying Bills and Dying??”

Once I asked myself that question, the Answers flooded in, opportunity,
people, Money…

It all came. But it also Went just as fast because I didn’t know how I was
doing it..

And that is also what I want to share with you..

So Please make sure to subscribe to my Blog as I share the discoveries I have
made, and how I learned that

through ME (YOU) all things are possible…

BELIEVE IT.
