I’ve been in the void for a year. If I’m honest, it’s probably been closer to a year and a half.

I am only now emerging, and this wound is starting to scar - which is why I feel right finally putting these words down. 

The void is the in-between, the transition, the unknown. It is a place where you can’t see what’s next - but you might feel it.

You feel stuck, cloudy, unsure, uninspired. A void can come in any part of your life. I've lived them before and they're decidedly not fun. 

There was the void right before my ex husband and I decided to split. 

There was the void right before I moved to Miami from NYC after becoming a single mom. 

There was the void in the time right before I quit my job and start my business. 

On this particular occasion, this void settled squarely in my business.

It was my longest one to date.

At the same time, I have been living the most beautiful, loving, and magical time of...

The women in my family have been reading our "tazas" for each other for as long as I can remember. We do these readings mainly when we all get together, which happens a few times a year.

After dinner, someone starts making the cafecito and we all know what's coming. These gatherings are spiritual, powerful, and this energy takes over us. We end up staying up really late, sharing stories and feeling the love and presence of our ancestors around us. 

The older we all get, the deeper our intuition and the stronger our knowing and our bond to one another. 

I have known that these moments together with the women of my family and these gifts - which always felt private and hidden - were my true inheritance.

For every time it felt forced to walk into a Catholic church in my youth, these nights with the women in my family feel like home in a way nothing else ever has. There is deep love in these moments - it feels ancient and so special. 

I recently realized...

There was a seed planted in me in late 2020 that is starting to bear fruits.

After everything we went through last year - I felt a desperate need to reimagine the way I did business. Inspired by the activists and scholars I had been studying reimagining a new world - I began wondering if there was a way to reimagine doing business.

Here's what that means for me:

• A business that consciously and intentionally does not only prioritize money.
• A business that consciously exists as part of a community and a world, and acts on the urgency to be a voice of influence and impact for justice and change.
• A business that honors our inherent worthiness as people and respects our decisions and space.
• A business that does not seek to emotionally manipulate people to think, want, or choose you- but rather uplifts you and invites you.
• A business that doesn't talk down to people, and respects that they may not be the (only) answer for you

I'm still in progress of creating the others...

And so, today...
