Imagineering & Entertaining Real Estate
Posted on: February 4, 20101 comment so far
2008-2009 were great years of change for me: I published my first book, retained an agent, my resume was even sent to Disney HR from the hands of one of the directors of Disney Imagineering: Mr. Bruce Vaughn. Unfortunately everything also coincided with the whirlwind effects of a full-blown global economic crisis. Freelance projects dried up, my book sales started to cripple, and I was forced to turn my real estate hobby into a whole new career.
Questions began to surface: who am I really, a journalist? A real estate agent? What am I doing, who do I want to be? Beyond writing, my end goal always seemed to be Imagineering, and the Disney HR freeze seemed to be yet another blow in an already depressing year.
Until I realized something phenomenal.
I didn’t need to get hired by Disney to be an Imagineer. I was already an “imagineer” by the sheer definition of the word: people who “imagine” anything from theme park rides, patented products, stories and yes, even entire neighborhoods.
Though I’m certain the word must be copyrighted by Disney, I set out in 2010 to give myself the title which I’d had unofficially all my career. The minute I did, things started to fall into place: January 2010 started with the sale of my first “imagineered” product to a local school, and the creation of a real estate web show, soon to premiere on Rexcheck.com - contracts are being spun and edited, as I write this.
Did God send a deadly blow to my journalism and writing career to get me going in the right direction? I’m beginning to think so. Because no matter what happens from now on, G.R. de los Reyes is officially…
An Imagineer.

“Writing was always my great passion,” admits Gloria, “but I’ve spent most of my life on stage, whether at church or in an actual theater, so it seemed the next logical step. Besides, writing is a lot like acting, because in some way, you live the lives of each of your characters.”

12 Valores Clave: Guía práctica para la familia de hoy inspirada en las enseñanzas de Jesús
Posted on: November 22, 20081 comment so far
Written for people of little or no faith, my new book lays out the 12 most basic values taught by Jesus in an easy-read format, accompanied by 4 audio CD’s that not only narrate the book, but also act out the gospel verses with sound effects and music.
Click on the link below to listen to a 13 minute excerpt (in Spanish) of the chapter on Forgiveness - one of the most exciting chapters - featuring the story of the crucifixion.
At the moment this title is only available in Spanish.

Mi nuevo libro fue escrito para personas que aunque no profesen una fe, están interesados en saber cuáles fueron los 12 valores más básicos que enseñó Jesús. El libro está acompañado de 4 audio CD’s que no solo narran el texto, sino que también presentan las citas bíblicas de una forma amena con música y efectos especiales.
Presionen el link de abajo y escuchen unos 13 minutos del capítulo del Perdón; ¡uno de los más emocionantes, ya que incluye la historia de la crucifixión!
At last, it’s finally here!

After weeks of tweets, it’s finally here! My new website… ta-ta-ta-tum….!
Of course, many might remember that my old website was still pretty good. Even handsome, I might add.
True, but it didn’t capture the new eRenaissance, the Jacks of all Trades that my Generation X has become. Or should I call them, JaX of all Trades?
To me, css style sheets represent the present. The ease of changing between skins both literally and intellectually. Of changing identities and careers at a drop of a hat, or a push of a button.
We are the new polymaths of the future. Don’t box us into square little descriptions of one category or industry. We can jump in and out of them, at our wills contempt.
That is the gift of a new Renaissance caused by the phenomenon of a flat world.
The JaX are out of the Box.
We’re ruling the cyber age, and we’ve never been happier
