Obsessed with Blue Skies, Greenery, and Water
11:11, a poem
11:11
Hello my friend
So good to see you again
Time to recycle old feelings
And renew these vows until the end
Look at my reflection
And you’ll see yourself
For your eyes see through my soul
And my soul is in tune with yours
Entangled
Do you remember when we first locked eyes?
It seems like we can escape time
Like we’ve met before in a previous life
Like we’ve known each other
Like you were mine
11:11
I think of you
And you just show up
No need to call you
You hear my thoughts
And respond in an instant
If I could choose a friend for the end of the world
I’d choose you again and again
I feel this melancholy like I’m missing you
I’m missing you like I’ve been with you
I’m feeling like I’m needing you
Not in the way that I can’t live without you
But I don’t want to be without you
11:11
You emerge again
You awaken me from my slumber
You ignite my hunger
You set the fire and walk away
Then tell me that you should’ve stayed
Come closer, without delay
11:11
My twin flame
Do you love the beach?
Just felt like sharing some photos from a recent beach day. Enjoy!

…but not really.
The year is coming to a close. It’s been real interesting. I became a mother and had an introductory crash course on what life has really been like for my own mother all these years. Motherhood isn’t easy. You miss out on a lot of sleep and self-care. But it’s also very rewarding. The smiles, the cuddles, the coos, the giggles. The fact that when baby is cranky all he wants is mommy. 😇
I have no regrets. I love my baby. Sometimes, I may feel like I can’t get as much done as I would like to. But it doesn’t matter. As long as I take care of the things I need to do in order to care for my little one. He’s the center of my world. And nothing matters more than his well-being, health and happiness. 👩👦
Focus
I know where I’m going. I know what I’m looking for. I just need to trust that my decisions will get me there. I need to trust that the steps I take, at any given moment, are leading me closer and closer to my destination. Even if I can’t see the full picture. Even if there are obstacles along the way. I will get there. And I’ll dive in fully. Without regrets.

Sunset in the valley
A Flooded Promenade
January 23rd, 2017: Last full day in Cuba during my first trip to the beautiful country.
It was supposed to be a beach day but plans were changed because it started out as a really windy day. Waves began to crash over el Malecón, flooding the road and streets nearby. Paseo de Martí (also known as Paseo del Prado) became flooded and attracted a crowd that was both curious and delighted. Some people walked through the water, some played in it, and many took pictures from afar. It was definitely a beautiful and interesting sight.
Club Habana
Sunset over Club Habana– a wonderful place to retreat, have a drink, eat some food and enjoy the ocean view.
