Everything has the potential for transformation in a variety of forms – personal, cultural, physical, political, and more. I want to share with you the transformation that all forms of life undertake when circumstances, conditions, and/or changes in their surroundings are just right or become intolerable.

Examples of transformations in nature are found everywhere; the caterpillar changing into a butterfly, the tadpole becoming a frog. Even the story of the ugly duckling is one of transformation.  He was shunned and rejected by the other ducklings. Although it was painful, he hung tough and grew into a beautiful swan, accepted, and even envied by them all!

Bluefiretransformation.com is a platform that will provide personal stories, information, and steps to follow designed to move you out of any uncomfortable, even unacceptable life situation and move into a new one. In other words, change your life!

Sometimes, our journey to the other side is difficult. There are roadblocks to overcome – financial, physical or personal. Very often our emotions can be our own worst enemy. We discover the bad habits we need to break and finally, decide that our focus must be laser sharp!  We’ll provide information and tips to follow so you stay ENERGIZED on your way to revamping your surroundings and most importantly…you!  

You’ll also learn the stages of transformation and what it takes to remake yourself, your family, your career, etc. Losing weight, starting a new career, going from rags to riches or anonymity to notoriety are examples of personal transformations. Even Alcoholics Anonymous, a program of recovery, is an excellent example of how people transform their entire lives – one day at a time. Blue Fire Transformation will be the platform where you can read, learn, and re-charge! 

Before becoming president, John F. Kennedy wrote a book entitled, Profiles in Courage, containing short biographies of American patriots who defied public opinion. They often jeopardized their own careers to do what they felt was right. In doing so, these men became transformational figures and altered the course of history. 

Not long ago, I spoke to an older gentleman who happened to mention how certain oils are good to cook with but how others are actually deadly. He was adamant about the information he provided. He went on to say the healthiest oils to use are coconut and avocado oil. He was partial to avocado oil because “it comes from Mexico.” 

As we continued talking, he told me that 10 years ago he was on his death bed because several of his major organs were crashing…kidneys, prostate, and liver. Even his lungs started giving him trouble. He added that he was about 200 pounds heavier than he is now.  After being in the hospital, he decided that he wanted to live – not just exist with the assistance of required medicines and recurrent doctor visits.

So, he researched the effects of what he was eating and drinking; the junk food he devoured and junk drinks he swallowed. He changed what and how much he consumed. He started taking walks, multiple times a day. He didn’t just go on a diet to lose weight. He wanted to transform his life! Statistically, around 40% of people who suffered MOF or multiple organ failure don’t survive. Jose had almost three organs fail and the extra weight he carried put tons of pressure on his heart.

But there he was, a 78 year old man who appeared healthy and fit – when 10 years ago he was dying and dangerously overweight!  He made a radical decision to save and change his life. He wanted to live, to be healthy with all of his organs functioning at their best, not barely. He stayed fixed on his goal and didn’t give up or give in!

And let us not grow weary while doing good,

for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 

Galatians 6:9

The word FIRE in BlueFIREtransformation

Fire is defined as the condition of burning and producing flames that radiate heat and light. The word fire can be used as a literary device, as to build a `fire’ under someone. To cause or urge action. The word fire is also often interchanged with `passion.’

WHY BLUE FIRE?

Blue fire is stronger than typical fire. Although red usually identifies something as hot, in fire red indicates cool temperatures. Blue fire has the hottest flames, followed by white. Interestingly, despite the common use of blue as a cold color, and red as hot – it’s the opposite for fire!

Scientists have learned that red flames correspond to temperatures from 980º F up to 1,800º F. Flames turn orange when the temperature reaches 2,000º F to 2,200º F. When temperatures approach 2,400º F to 2,700º F, flames appear white. Blue flames usually appear at a temperature between 2,600º F and 3,000º F, hotter than white!

In order for someone to pass through challenges, overcome defeat or simply change one’s life, the hottest fire of passion and determination are needed. Thus, BlueFireTransformation!
