Dear God, Are we there yet?

Primos y Primas, What does it take to be considered a genius? Is a genius a remarkable musician who moves our spirits, an artist who creates beautiful paintings, a student who scores off the charts on an IQ test or the employee working the Genius Bar at your local Apple store? OK, maybe the last example is pushing it, but consider the other varieties of geniuses -- those with amazing musical, artistic, athletic and intellectual talents. Were the Mozarts and Monets of the world born with their genius? Or did their environment shape who they became? But what if I told you we are all have those genes.

Primos y Primas, sabes que research has shown that while over 90% of us want to volunteer, only 1 out of 4 Americans actually do. Did you know there is a relationship between volunteering and improved physical health and cognitive function? Research also shows that volunteers report elevated mood and less depression, and that volunteers report increased social interactions and social support, better relationship quality, and decreased loneliness. So if most of us want to volunteer, and we believe it is good for us, why aren’t all of us volunteering?Grab that cafecito and vamos hablar!

Primos y Primas, What is a Dream Life? Many people are living a dream-filled life all the time. They have “hacked” their way into it, and probably can help lead you onto your own dreamy path, too. People, from preachers to salesmen, are always encouraging others to “live the life of your dreams.” Now that seems like a narrow group, and there are more individuals beyond those two groups which say similar words to us. Just what does “live the life of your dreams” mean? Is it living like a million-dollar celebrity or a humble servant in the mission field? Is it making sure other people are cared for while your own needs go unmet? It’s like a nebulous space where you can make the call, bucko, on what you want your life to look like every single day. If you were going to live that life, what would it look like? Vamos Hablar like it's 1995!

Primos y Primas BEING NORMAL IS VASTLY OVERRATED!! I think it’s easy to get caught in a trap of trying to look or seem a certain way to other people, especially in this online social world. I love this quote because it really challenges the overall definition of “normal” and the fact that it is not one size fits all. The things that make me happy may be different than what makes you happy. It is so important for us to be true to ourselves and not feel pressure to change that if we think it is what isn’t “normal.” The world is a better place when we are living our own truths and embracing our unique selves proudly. I am inspired so grab that cafecito and tune in about my "normal"

Primos y Primas! I want to spread the conversations and questions that need to be heard and asked. Not just to talk about it but be about it! Grab that cafecito and join me!

Primos y Primas! The Amazing Johnathan pretends to cut his arm with a big knife. ‘What you are about to see,’ he says, ‘is just a trick.’ He only scratches the surface, but you can already see some blood. ‘It is stage blood. It is riding on the surface of my arm, it is not penetrating my arm, that would be real, this is an illusion.’ And then, all of a sudden, he exclaims: ‘This is real!’ and penetrates his arm with the big blade. Pero venaca y que lo tuyo! Is Magic Real? Grab that cafecito and let's chat.

Primos y Primas Y tu sabe el canto and long song that every January, we kickoff the calendar year with New Years Resolutions: loose 10 pounds, make smarter investments, create an extra $1,500 per month on the side. Yet by February, we’ve returned to life as usual. The discarded New Years Resolution has become a tired cultural trope.

We have these highs and low which is normal right? We are sitting here almost September and thinking y que ahora? Grab that cafecito and let's have a REAL chat about having goals and dreams without the filters of society making it look like its peaches and cream or will we be forever morir soñando?
