Hola,

Today, I reflect on the practice of counting beads as part of a religious or mindfulness ritual. Although, spiritual beaded necklaces can be fashionable, they are a non-digital technology with a specific purpose. ​

Drone perspective: "I'm white."

Drum perspective: "I'm afromestiza."

Hola,

A network without the connections wouldn't be a network. But not all connections in a network are good ones. Today, I reflect on the importance of having a quality network of people in the different areas of our lives, to keep us engaged in worthwhile endeavors while holding us accountable.

Hola,

During difficult times, I find it difficult to say the right words to others. As much empathy as we can have, we are not living and feeling what they are. At those times, I remember the Reiki principles. Today, I share those with you, hoping that it provides a simple structure for challenging days. ​
