The new book by author Miguel Soto, “Mysteries: Love, Light and Life” is a philosophical work that explores the mysteries of existence

May 10, 2018

STANTON, California, May 10, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Miguel Soto, a retired engineer and project manager, completed his book in Spanish, “Mysteries: Love, Light and Life”: a journey of human understanding.

The contribution of Miguel, “‘Mysteries: Love, Light and Life,’ is a book written for you with the intention of clarifying the content of existence. Your pains, sufferings and tribulations, in truth, are not necessary, you have the divine right and the opportunity to live in peace, in a continuous state of rejoicing, satisfaction and contentment. Your moments of happiness are only moments, and the more intense they are, reality can be more difficult when you return to it. We have no reason to suffer unless we understand the logic of the universe- the purpose of its mysteries, Love, Light and Life. This book explains that everything was done with love, for love and to love putting light within your reach – human understanding – and shows that, with these two mysteries, life – the third mystery – flows gloriously in all its splendor. You know? You were created with love from the beginning of the intention of your life, and at the moment of your conception you absorbed part of the Great Sprit, his absolute knowledge, and infinite love. These are the secrets of the three mysteries revealed in this book: you are never isolated, you are an eternal part of that infinite love, under the wise light that illuminates the reality of your life. Inhale, fill yourself with love.

This book exposes that there is a dark part of our being and which, perhaps, we do not want to dominate, that is our Ego. Many times, our capricious ego creates situations that we cannot live with, or maybe we do not tolerate, and we destroy life. The secret is that we can dominate, domesticate, manage our ego, understanding that cravings, desires, cravings and whims are selfish, in most cases. The light makes clear that love is the solution of everything, including control over our Ego. Light illuminates life, and it is understood that everything with love is carried by the hand. The mystery of love is in your wisdom, in your pondering, so that the light of your reasoning shines on the right path. This book is a guide for you to meditate on how to achieve your continuous state of rejoicing, contentment and satisfaction – the permanent happiness of your spiritual and mental life. The secret of the three mysteries is to live in peace and harmoniously integrated with the Universe that has created us; always looking with love, the wise light that illuminates the truth of life. Life is only the vehicle that works driven by the light of knowledge and driven by the driving force of love. Have a good trip!”

This book by Miguel Soto published by Page Publishing Publishing located in New York, USA is a philosophical work that encourages thought to explore the connection of Love and Light in human life.

Those readers who want to know this interesting work can buy “Mysteries: Love, Light and Life” in local bookstores, or in stores on the Internet such as Apple iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

The Hispanic consumer is a growth opportunity for all companies as the audience currently yields $1.5 trillion in buying power.

Letter Carriers’ Annual Food Drive Set for Saturday throughout Nation

May 9, 2018

WASHINGTON, May 9, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) will conduct its 26^th annual national food drive on Saturday, May 12.

The Stamp Out Hunger^® Food Drive, the country’s largest single-day food drive, provides residents with an easy way to donate food to those in need.

Customers simply leave their donation of non-perishable goods next to their mailbox before the delivery of the mail on Saturday. Letter carriers will collect these food donations on that day as they deliver mail along their postal routes, and distribute them to local food agencies. Visit stampouthungerfooddrive.us to learn more.

The Letter Carriers’ food drive is held annually on the second Saturday in May in 10,000 cities and towns in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam. It remains as important as ever, with many people facing economic struggles. Hunger affects about 50 million people around the country, including millions of children, senior citizens and veterans.

Letter carriers see these struggles in the communities they serve, and believe that it is important to do what they can to help.

“Over its first quarter-century, the food drive has only grown in importance and in impact,” NALC President Fredric Rolando said. “It’s an honor to be able to help people in need all across the United States – and to do so in a way that brings out the best in so many Americans.”

The timing is important, with food banks, pantries and shelters running low on donations from the winter holidays and with summer approaching, when most school meal programs are suspended.

Last year, letter carriers collected 75.3 million pounds of food, the third-highest amount since the food drive began in 1993. That brought the total over the past quarter-century to 1.6 billion pounds.

On May 12, as they deliver mail, the nation’s letter carriers will collect the donations that residents have left near their mail boxes. People are encouraged to leave a sturdy bag or container with non-perishable foods, such as canned soup, canned vegetables, canned meats and fish, pasta, rice or cereal next to their mailbox before the regular mail delivery on Saturday.

Carriers will bring the food to local food banks, pantries or shelters. National partners assisting NALC in the food drive are the U.S. Postal Service, United Food & Commercial Workers International Union, National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association, United Way Worldwide, AFL-CIO, Valpak and Valassis.

This year’s effort includes a public service announcement with actor and director Edward James Olmos.

People who have questions about the drive in their area should ask their letter carrier, contact their local post office, or go to nalc.org/food, facebook.com/StampOutHunger or twitter.com/StampOutHunger.

********

The 280,000-member National Association of Letter Carriers represents letter carriers across the country employed by the U.S. Postal Service, along with retired letter carriers. Founded by Civil War veterans in 1889, the NALC is among the country’s oldest labor unions.

Texas home sales, prices increase in the first quarter of 2018 while inventory drops

May 9, 2018

AUSTIN, Texas, May 9, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Texas home sales and prices experienced strong growth during the first quarter of 2018, while housing inventory and active listings declined, according to the 2018-Q1 Texas Quarterly Housing Report released today by the Texas Association of Realtors.

“The momentum from the end of 2017 has moved into 2018, as Texas homes continue to be in high demand,” said Kaki Lybbert, chairman of the Texas Association of Realtors. “This strong activity we’ve seen in home sales volume during the first quarter of 2018 is setting the stage for a strong summer selling season for Texas real estate.”

The 70,292 Texas homes sold in the first quarter this year represents an increase of 2.2 percent compared to the first quarter of 2017. Additionally, the median price increased 5.7 percent in the same time frame to $224,500. Among all homes sold in the first quarter, 29.1 percent were priced at $300,000 or higher, which is 1.9 percentage points more than in 2017. Meanwhile, sales of homes priced $299,000 and below saw a 1.7 percentage point decrease compared to the same quarter last year.

Dr. Jim Gaines, chief economist with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, commented, “Although home sales activity for the first quarter in 2018 continues to keep a positive pace from previous years, the rate at which these increases are occurring is beginning to slow as inventory becomes tighter. The second and third quarters of the year are typically the busiest and most competitive in the Texas real estate market, and this summer is shaping up to be no different.”

Active listings decreased 2.9 percent year-over-year to 93,151 listings in the first quarter of 2018. Texas homes spent an average of 66 days on the market during the same time frame, two days more than last year.

Monthly housing inventory in Texas decreased 0.2 months from 2017-Q1 to 3.3 months of inventory. According to the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, a market balanced between supply and demand has between 6.0 and 6.5 months of inventory.

Chairman Lybbert concluded, “While we continue to see an increased shortage of housing inventory, it is encouraging to see the economic growth in Texas lead to a surge in home sales activity, which bodes well for the summer season. However, if housing inventory continues to decrease while prices rise, we may continue to see affordability challenges across the state.”
