Antes de las 12 Nos llegaste de sorpresa una tarde en noviembre del 2005 Eras tan pequeña y tan tímida con tus manchas blancas y negras Te quiero tanto y nunca habrá otro perro como tú Voy a extrañar tus ladridos, vigilando desde la ventana en tu silla Voy a extrañar como les ladrabas a TODOS y como te encantaba salir a caminar Voy a extrañar como te decíamos “ardilla!” y salías a correr a perseguirlos en el mismo lugar Voy a extrañar como odiabas la lluvia, pero te encantaba la nieve Como te enterrabas en ella y solo se te veía tu lomo negro buscando tu pelota “La vaquita” te llamábamos, pero ..read more

Cuando las cosas no salen bien, cuando la vida te decepciona, cuando quieres gritar “por qué me pasó esto a mí”, es fácil sentirse débil e impotente. Decimos que todo esto es una injusticia y es imposible ver la luz al final del túnel. Si esto te pasa, te aseguro que 99.99% de los adultos en el mundo se han sentido así en muchos momentos. No voy a minimizar este sentimiento, porque es muy fuerte y es muy real, pero te voy a decir que a pesar de lo que sientas en este momento, eres más fuerte de lo que crees y probablemente ya te lo has demostrado. Una vez, mi mamá me dijo que cuando vemos que ..read more

Today, it has been four weeks since I started my first challenge, and I’m here to share my results. First of all, did I do it 100% every day? No. Is that bad? Nope!

Sleep One of the biggest reasons I started the challenge was that I was having trouble sleeping. When I would see that it was t ..read more

Nowadays, platforms like Netflix and YouTube make binge-watching incredibly easy as it automatically starts the next video when you finish. However, is this way of relaxing actually good for us, and is reading better? (This is a challenge post so stick to the end to find out more) When I was a kid, I would often get bored and run to my mother to tell her that I was bored. My mother’s response was always, “read a book”. At first, I really tried, but I didn’t feel very confident reading since it took me longer than my classmates. Now, I want to get back to reading, but there seems to be a bigger ..read more

One of the reasons I believe being an adult is hard is because we started with very high expectations, which seemed normal at the time. As a child, I thought that by now I would have had everything figured out, and even gotten married with a couple of kids. But it hasn’t happened yet and reality doesn’t match where I thought I would be. Family Examples My general expectation for life as an adult first came from my mom’s life. My mom got married when she was just 24, which was very common. By the time she was 30, she had already gotten married and had 2 kids! Fast-forwarding to me, I knew I did ..read more

One of the hardest things about working from home is the discipline you need to get things done, despite everything happening around you or what you feel (stress and anxiety seem worse these days). Unfortunately, now in 2021, covid continues to spread, and it doesn’t seem to end anytime soon. So we are all now faced with two decisions: do we sulk and let anxiety take over? or do we take the reins and change our attitude? I vote for the second and here I will share 9 different things I am doing on a daily basis to keep the monsters at bay and my happiness level high. Give yourself time to get ..read more
