Disgusted by the senseless gentrification happening in low income areas across the US, it’s ironic that our impact as immigrants to Mexico is also viewed as gentrification by some in Mexico. The historical Spanish colonization and gentrification in Mexico is deep seated and affects low income nationals, but also carries hidden traces of indigenous Mexican culture when you peel away the surface layers. Mexicans have learned to hold on to their culture despite the power of their invaders to push out low income locals.

Did we cause generational trauma to our boys? Generational trauma, the emotional baggage passed down through families, can have a profound impact on our parenting. The ups, downs, and changes we go through parenting our children they age. It has been a blessing seeing our sons go from boys to men, right before our eyes, but you always wonder did your parenting style cause some kind of generational trauma? It has been a parenting challenge for me to stop treating them like my baby boys and not the young men they are.

Is mike Tyson the future of aging? Mike Tyson thinks he still has it. Even in the face of aging knees and backs, we think we still do too. Of course we were never champions of the world the way Mike Tyson was. Somehow Iron Mike Tyson is fighting the aging process, as well as his 27 year old opponent this coming July. He could hold the key to the future of aging. Is the future of aging in continuing to do the things you used to, but adjusting the limits to fit your current level.
