Love Fluently
Let’s talk about love! There is a spiritual love phenomenon called Amigeist, a term coined by Dr. Jeffery Sundberg (2019). Broken down, ami is Latin for love and geist is German for spirit.

That first Christmas I scripted a minute -long voice message in SpanishContinue reading “Part II of Que Sera, Sera”
Que Sera, Sera: A Chilean Travel and Love Story
“You are responsible for the people that fall in love with you.” He said it in Spanish first and then in English to ensure I understood it. “Do you know where that’s from?” Then he said the title in French, ‘Le Petit Prince.’ “Remember that.” He paused to firmly demand my attention, and he purposefullyContinue reading “Que Sera, Sera: A Chilean Travel and Love Story”

Manifestation, Making the Big Leap, and Life-Course Changes

Friendship: An Analysis of Our Deep Bonds
This may sound a little weird, but when watching movies or reading books, friendship connections are more exciting and interesting to me than romance. I think a part of me has always desired, even valued friendships more.
