Visitamos a secundó casa de la familia anfitriona en turrialba. Es fácil entender que ‘mama’ prefiere alli; hay campo con mucho árboles, frutas, y casa en piernas. Me senté fuera en bar de piernas, trabajó en la naturaleza. Tías y prima también llegan ahí; hicimos tamales (foto), rodillas, cospo (tortilla de maiz), mondongo y caminamos …

Cambios
Regreso a Costa Rica despues de 5 anos. Mi amigo y su familia me bienvenidos. Quede dormir en ‘naturaleza’ (insectos canciones) y despertó por gallo (vs. carros en Boston).

Yan – Loving, Authentic & Courageous
Yan and I’ve known each other over 5 years. We share with each other good reads and interesting things. Once in a while, I’d pick Yan’s brain; she is always generous to offer thoughts and advice. During my transition in 2018, I asked Yan how she decided to leave a successful corporate career (GM before …

Christmas Tree and Gift
I heard from the radio that a single mom who was laid-off during Covid felt bad that she couldn’t buy presents to her children, actually, she couldn’t even afford a Christmas tree. I felt sad for her, not only the financial challenges but also the “holiday obligation”. I never had a Christmas tree or gifts …
