Volume 2, Issue 5; February 2026 Hola Brujas! Do you believe in love? I do. And yet, lately, it feels as though people aren't treating one another with love, despite it being everywhere. You read that right. Love is everywhere, from heart emojis 🥰 to saying "love ya" or "thanks, love" as easily as our hellos and goodbyes. (Air kisses anyone?) Media floods us with reminders to send love to our friends on their birthdays, to buy loving gifts for our family on holidays, and to embrace messages...

Volume 2; Issue 3; December 2025 Hola Brujas! Do you care what people think of you? I do. Recently, I found myself preoccupied with people's opinions, well, of me. This got me thinking. Is there any benefit to caring what people think of you? In today's social climate, there might be. You see, we've been bombarded with messages of "ignore the haters!", "who cares?" and "do what you want". These messages, although trying to aid in people's confidence, have created a juxtaposed problem, one...

Volume 2: Issue 2; November 2025 Hola, Do you like FREE? I do. If you think you don't, let me ask you this: Have you ever read something on the internet without paying a fee? Ever buy one, get one free? Ever ask someone to do you a favor? Then you, my dear reader, have partaken in FREE. This got me thinking. From what I've observed throughout my life, nothing is free, even love. This I've come to learn from being a caregiver, where I often put my wants on hold for the ones I love the most....

Volume 2; Issue 1, October 2025 Hola! Do you believe in second chances? I do. Recently, I've had opportunities that felt less than I hoped for, but turned out to be something entirely different and even better. This got me asking questions. Have you ever made a mistake that turned out to be a good thing? Ever buy a used item that was ultimately useful? Ever been forgiven for a situation that made you cringe? Ever recover from an illness to only feel healthier than ever? If so, you've been...

Volume 1; Issue 9: July 2025 Hola, Do you ever cry? I do. This past month, I've been wanting to cry. Yes, you read that correctly; I wanted to, but I'm having a hard time of it, especially as I get older. You see, I used to cry all the time, not only when I was sad, but when I was scared, stressed, and even happy. This got me thinking. Whenever I had a good cry, I was able to sort out my thoughts about the emotion I was experiencing and that gave me clarity and peace. In other words, the...

Volume 1; Issue 7: May 2025 "Mal de Ojo" Drawing Ever blame superstition on something that's a mere coincidence? I have. This month, I've had so many coincidences that I can't help but be a bit superstitious about it. Even though I know my luck won't change by relying on superstitious phrases like "knock on wood" or "never put a purse on the floor", coincidences are sometimes hard to accept as just random events. This got me thinking about why I'm sometimes superstitious in the first place....

Volume 1; Issue 6: April 2025 Hola, Do you make excuses? I do. Last month, I couldn't get this newsletter out, because I was too busy learning about the mythical creature, the chupacabra- well, not exactly. My "chupacabra" story is similar to the cliche, "my dog ate my homework". In other words, "learning about chupacabras" is my version of a fantastical made-up excuse. This got me thinking. Why do I make excuses? The truth is that excuses temporarily make me feel better. It's hard to admit...
