Leche Con Cafe
Mom picked me up from school late again. This time beat all the other times. A whopping 2 hours and 23 minutes late. I was one of the last kids there waiting outside of my middle school. She gave me the same old story about how work was so hectic and she was drowning in her workload. Of course, as a 12-year old kid, I had no idea what that meant nor did I want to know. I sat quietly with my elbow on the window, chin in hand, lazily staring outside as we drove through the poorly cared for neighborhoods.

Virtual Love for the Socially Distanced Soul
What a time to be alive! Am I right??? History is happening right before our very eyes. We are witnessing a pandemic and it's riveting. Covid-19, or more commonly known around the younger folk as ‘The Rona’, has done something to the digital era that has never happened before. We are in a time that even with all of our technological and scientific advancements, no one expected to be living through. All of us have these natural and unique-to-humankind tendencies to socialize, gather, move, travel, dance, be outdoors - these things help us feel alive. But staying in house has put restrictions on these things we do that bring us joy so naturally.
