Mushpa y Mensa’s Fall Update

Hello To All of Our People!

We here at Mushpa y Mensa wanted to send out a Fall 2014 update about what’s going on with Mushpa y Mensa’s Magical Motor Machine Makeover! We wanted to let you all know where your gracious support has taken us thus far.

Solar It
Solar It

With the help of Alberto Borja, Mensa’s magician electrician father, we set up the amazing solar powered system to power all the electrical things Maya, our mobile art truck, will need. We installed a 150 watt solar panel on the roof of the truck, hooked it up in a series to two 6 volt golf cart batteries, and did some serious wiring. We did this so we could set up track lights, LED lights, a fan, plus working outlets to charge our laptops and basically work off the grid with the help of the sun! It’s pretty amazing.

Workin' It
Workin’ It

We have become best friends with our jigsaw, circular saw, wire cuter and drill. We cut plywood not only for the electrical set up, but also to put up new walls, and to create different types of storage boxes! We have screwed in, nailed, spackled, siliconed, sanded, painted, painted again, wallpapered and distressed many a thing inside our truck. Our old dashboard got a fresh coat of robotic silver paint, and we built a curvy, new, purple dashboard panel with cup holders!

Soon to come:

– installation of floor

– a million little touches

We're Getting It Done We're Getting It Done
We’re Getting It Done We’re Getting It Done

Stay tuned!

Much love,

Mushpa y Mensa aka Cara and Maria Emilia

Success

Maya Angelou

These are the 14 ways success can be achieved:

 

(1) LESS TALK, MORE ACTION. “Well done is better than well said.”

 

(2) DON’T PROCRASTINATE. “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”

 

(3) BE PREPARED. “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”

 

(4) DON’T FIGHT CHANGE. “When you’re finished changing, you’re finished.”

 

(5) GET MOVING. “All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.”

 

(6) AVOID BUSYWORK. “Never confuse motion with action.”

 

(7) GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO MAKE MISTAKES. “Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.”

 

(8) ACT QUICKLY ON OPPORTUNITIES. “To succeed, jump as quickly at opportunities as you do at conclusions.”

 

(9) CONTINUE TO GROW. “Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better person.”

 

(10) KEEP GOING. “Diligence is the mother of good luck.”

 

(11) KNOW YOURSELF. “There are three things which are extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.”

 

(12) DON’T SELF SABOTAGE. “Who had deceived thee so often as thyself?”

 

(13) DON’T GIVE UP. “Energy and persistence conquer all things.”

 

(14) WISE UP. “Life’s tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.”

 

Let’s do this!
