• The Story of the Lost Package

    This is the story of a lost package, I think. Or it might be the story of something else. I guess we will see. Let me start by sharing with you a piece of advise: never ever purchase online in advance too trip. That trip might never happen. Earlier in August I was supposed to Continue reading

  • Having Containment, Being Containment

    A few weeks ago I was in the middle of a trip when I got a text from one of my best friends that read “Manuel and I just broke up. The trip is off”. She was supposed to travel to Houston the following week, to meet him for the first time after they had Continue reading

  • Oaxaca, the Ultimate Mexican Destination

    Oaxaca, where to start? I’ve heard many things about the state and while I’ve been to the coast before, I’ve never been to the capital. It has probably become one of my favorite cities in the country, seriously. We flew into the capital and we couldn’t have chosen a better destination to spend Independence Day Continue reading

  • The Sugar House Park

    If you read my last two posts you will know that I recently spent a month abroad and what an experience that was. The truth is that the highlight of that month was the Sugar House Park, a beautiful park with a duck pond. If you’ve been reading me for a while (thank you!) you Continue reading

  • Uno vuelve siempre a los viejos sitios donde amo la vida

    Visite Chicago por primera vez al final del verano de 2019. Fue andando en bicicleta alrededor del lago Michigan, cuando después de meses en duelo, por fin sentí que todo iba a estar bien. Después de ese viaje conocí a alguien que vino a enseñarme que en esta vida tendremos muchos amores, que todos son Continue reading

  • We stay for the people

    Yo sabia que el día llegaría, el día en que recibiría el correo de mi landlord con una oferta de renovación, así lo estipulaba mi contrato vigente. El correo llego puntualmente a principios de este mes mientras esperaba a que mi vuelo hacia Los Cabos despegara. No tuve el valor de abrirlo y echarme a Continue reading

  • The shadow we cast

    Recientemente estuve en Sedona como parte de un offsite de liderazgo, un evento que me tomo meses planear. A excepción de un par de comentarios de mi gerente, no tuve muchos detalles respecto al alcance de la reunion, pero desde el principio supe que este no seria la típica reunión de liderazgo y vaya que Continue reading

  • La mujer que más admiro: mi abuela Amelia

    Un día me hablaron del linaje femenino ancestral y la importancia de sanarlo y me cambiaron la vida. No olvidó la tarde de julio en la que pase a decirle que había tomado una oportunidad en el extranjero. Me abrazo y me dijo: “Yo lo único que quiero para ti es que seas feliz”. Tan Continue reading

  • 2021 Year In Review: Chaos & Transition

    Jan: Volunteered to take over a key project for the company (that was about to die), presented it to executive leaders and gained their support. Updated for the whole month the design of Hold that Thought. Got the news that my role was being evaluated for a scope expansion. Feb: Had to put Buba under Continue reading

  • Having Grit, Being Bold

    Decisions. You’re probably tired about me writing about them, but it seems to be this year’s theme for me. I wont drag it, here’s this post conclusion the worst thing about making a decision is having to make the same twice. If you’ve been reading me recently you know that a few weeks back I Continue reading

  • Chaos & Transition

    A few weeks ago I went on a date with a guy. As we were taking about our stories, the fact that I’ve lived in the US came up and somehow we ended up taking about our favorite holidays. When my turn came, I said “I’ve three. Día de Muertos and Christmas in Mexico and Continue reading
