Unapologetic Thoughts

  • The Universe Knows (Part II)

    The day after my first Reiki therapy everything became official, my scope of responsibility was growing and as anticipated, with it my line of reporting. This was the second restructure I was going to lead my team through. I felt overwhelm, not by the regional challenge but by the implications of the changes in reporting. Continue reading

  • The Universe Knows (Part III)

    The thing with decisions is that by saying yes to something as a result you are also saying no to something else. In both cases there are consequences to deal with. In my case, that meant talking to my managers, which is never easy. One of them, the one that I talked to back in Continue reading

  • The Universe Knows (Part I)

    I’ve always been a person that struggles with making decisions. When face with one I tend to weight pros/cons, ponder over the consequences, overthink about all possible scenarios. So, while for me making a decision is a long process, once make one I often never second guess or regret it. Today I sign on a Continue reading

  • Wrong Time, Right Person?

    This is the real story of two people the met at the wrong time for probably, the right reason. We met in May ’19 through a dating app. He was in Chicago at the time we started texting and he was flying back to Mexico City the week before I left for a month on Continue reading

    Chronicles of an Epic 30th Birthday

    Turning 30 still remains a big deal for many women, particularly because of the social narratives that have been in place for so long about where, and who, you should be by that point in your life. Hanna Nathanson Amen Hanna. Turning thirty is truly an event in anyone life, maybe due to social expectations, Continue reading

  • An Architect, a.k.a the Personality Test

    A few weeks ago, my sister came around the 16 Personalities Test and she made everyone in our family take it. Everyone in my family, who took it before me, were curious about my result and bet it was going to be a Commander. So, they were disappointed enough when they saw the result, that Continue reading

  • Living through a pandemic, a note to my grandkids

    Living through a pandemic, a note to my grandkids

    People not respecting social distancing rules in the supermarket make me feel anxious. I cringe when I watch people in movies or TV shows in social settings. My hands have aged from washing them too much. Seeing people not wearing or wearing a mask wrong gets me annoyed. This week I had a dream about Continue reading

  • Buba, a fifth-birthday tribute

    Buba, a fifth-birthday tribute

    A dog person, I never thought of myself as one; mainly because I didn’t grew up with one. We had one for a short time when I was in middle school, a German Shepard named Crack. We had him since he was a puppy; but our house was so small for him to live with Continue reading

  • The cumulative knowledge of my twenties on love

    Unless you had the fortune of growing up in a setting where healthy relationships were the norm, you probably had or have a mistaken idea of love. I’ve said it before, growing up I didn’t have the best of the references and while I don’t blame anyone for it, it impacted me. How much, I Continue reading

  • Happiness IS the Little Things

    Happiness, we all have heard and read much about it. In fact, I’l dare to say that we also have done so much in our effort of reaching it. Yet, what’s happiness after all? I’ve been dwelling on that question for some time now and at the risk of sounding philosophical I believe that happiness Continue reading

  • The Magic of New Beginnings

    I’m sure I’m not the only one who was looking forward to New Year’s: a fresh start; because let’s be honest, last year was definitely a challenging one. I think we are all aware that just crossing that New Year’s line doesn’t actually mean that this pandemic is suddenly going to be over; but I Continue reading

  • 2020 In Review: Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste

    I don’t know about you, but if someone had told me late last year what was ahead of us, I wouldn’t have believed it. This will probably be, by far, the most unusual and bizarre year we will live through — and we made it. Yes, we had to adapt. Yes, it was challenging. Yes, Continue reading
