In April 2014 I first came to Mexico City-
I didn’t speak Spanish and I had just spent 3 months in India where I was introduced to Yoga. I was in love, full of hope and was not attached to any plan for the future.

Now 40 months later-
I am now again in Mexico City- this time as a visitor.
I have now spent 28 months living and working in Mexico. That’s almost 2.5 years!
I am now able to understand a lot more Spanish to accomplish daily tasks and I think I would now pass my 3rd level of Spanish- that I had previously quit the day before my exam after being horrifically embarrassed by my teacher who said that my speaking level was of two levels before the class that I was in… I don’t get embarrassed that often, but in this case I tried not to cry in front of my class as- I didn’t want to suck at Spanish…I wanted to be good and it was REALLY frustrating how bad I was.
Actually it’s still frustrating how bad I am… but I tell people I have been living here for 3 years, but in truth… I have been living here for 28 months and the majority of these months I have not been putting a solid effort of learning, or practicing Spanish. I talked english with all of my best friends, ex partner and for my work. I had worked as an English teacher for 4 months, Yoga instructor/ Body therapy worker, I had English speaking family and friends come visit for months… I was studying full time in English and Sanskrit… there were days that I never even heard Spanish while locking myself away in my house.

I am no longer going to block myself with these negative thoughts, emotions and words… I am still learning Spanish and I going to speak it fluently soon! I no longer have anyone to direct my disappointment or my anxiety fed anger at- except myself. Estuve mi culpa! Pero, ahora voy a cambiar este.
Now- a certified Yoga instructor and certified Ayurveda Educator- I am on my Yogic and Ayurvedic journey towards my own holistic balance as well as being able to help others. I am single- but have met very nice people over the past several months that make me happy to be single. I am still learning who I am through all of my inner and outer experiences. I believe that as of this past weekend- I am finally in a place of love, understanding and gratitude for all my previous life, heartbreak and struggles and now look forward to this next year where I will once again indulge in family, then work, then adventure, then work then study. And I have faith that when I am ready to meet the person I’m suppose to settle down with- this step will come naturally.
No hay PRISA! Todoavia estoy joven y ahora necesito enfocar sobre mi educacion y disfruta mi vida!

NOW: Time to begin my day, holistically.
