I'm gonna need some green tea with lime and honey PRONTO

'nuff said.

The next few days.... the last few days....

I love this portrait of my mom:


And now that fall has finally taken over all the trees around this place, the time for the trip me and my friend longed for so much we are finally taking it.. This Friday we take on the state for three days. I will come back refreshed. Thank you Lord!


I will come back refreshed...

I am always in the middle of doing something

Yesterday was my cousin's homecoming dance so we took a bunch of photos that I have yet to download and edit, so here's one from a previous photo shoot. I'm right now in the middle of organizing my living/work space and it's taking long. It's specially taking long because my legs are very sore from a walk uphill yesterday. It was fun though... Arrivederci. I have a whole lot more to do...

Film

I got some batteries today for my beloved film camera. I will have you with me every moment. I've missed you so much!

Through a fortune cookie

God talked to me through a fortune cookie yesterday. He's been looking at me, shouting, painting the message in the sunsets, through my mother's smile and I have been missing it all. Yesterday I got a fortune cookie from a friend and when I opened it my eyes watered. It said "You will soon witness a miracle."

And now everything is so clear and so confusing at the same time. Please talk to me more... teach me to listen, because I forgot how to listen to you a long time ago.

Mañana!!!

Tomorrow is the opening of El Pollo Campero!!! I'm excited!!

I'm also really tired. I've been working until late this week. And I still
have so much to do. I like being busy... but I'd love me a nap right about
now.

Looking forward

Here's a new month. October. If I was in my country, I would be expecting winds.. ans who knows what else, at this point in my life. I miss those winds.

Here, the days are getting colder and the sky is painted of a perfect blue that overwhelms everything with a clarity that makes us so aware of change. Soon the trees will transform. Their leaves will change colors to yellows, oranges and reds. Fall is beautiful, but I dread the cold a bit. I'm sure I'll remember how to love it soon, but now, I dread the cold.

I am excited about things to come. About a photo trip around the Ozarks with Anna. About new paintings and new pictures and empty spaces. I have to move materials out of my room. I need a studio.

Oh well. I have this to share. A new commercial I've seen on TV. Reminds me of friends.
I love it.
