How to take a Mexican out at -29°C

Week 1
Joensuu, Finland

Last week was VERY cold. Always when temperature are below -20 is very cold and last Thursday (7.1.) was not an exception. Thus, my inner desire is to keep myself indoors.  However there is something that moved me to go out at -29°C, and that is: to make bubbles!

Yes!!!

Have you seen these bubbles:

Last year I didn’t manage to make ice-bubbles. When the weather was TOO cold,  I completely forgot about ice-bubbles.  When it was warming up (-15°C)  I made my bubble soap and wait for the coldness to return, but it did not, we were heading to spring 🙂 (no complains neither!)

This time I was fighting with myself to go out and get  “fresh” air. But then I saw the bubble soap, and I said: “Yes, let’s out” and I did.

Here is the proof:

IT was VERY COLD and VERY WINDY.

I got some bubble coming out. It was DIFFICULT. I need to re-design my bubble wand, no the best at the moment. But I managed to blow some bubbles. But it was dark and window, so very difficult to follow them….

However, I will persist……

This was the first attempt!!!! 🙂

To cheer me up, today I declared a delicatessen day of  Mexican food.

I started with  tamales Oaxaqueños for breakfast and for lunch and dinner Chilaquiles.

Thank you 2015

Week 53
München, Germany

Oh my!
2015 is finalizing and still there is much to do!

2015 is an AMAZING and UNEXPECTED year for me. During this year, I had been blessed to be in a process to crystallize dreams. For example:
– Bridge knowledge between México and Finland, with the activities we did in LEIVA at the CENART / CONACULTA
– Having the rare and unique opportunity to travel overseas each month (this is a personal record and a personal dream I confess!) visiting 3 continents! WOW!
– Be with people I admire and love
– and much more.
Each moment and activity connected to this year is VERY special in its own right. Also, the current challenges are BIG and plenty, but I can state: I am walking the walk.

If I would record this year in one sentence, it would be: “learning to take the bull by the horns”

There is MUCH to do, starting by FOCUSING !!!! Nevertheless, this is the moment to THANK to 2015 for all the life and moments it gave me!

Now getting curious for the 2016 in ALL senses!!!!
