Hope you’re all having a great summer. Here are some of my summer thoughts after having a wonderful time with family and at my favorite place: the beach.
It pleases me immensely to see how my boy loves the ocean. He was born in NYC, but his blood is Caribbean…and I truly love that!
Fruit and vegetable [...]
On the second day of summer, where is my mind?
Swimming in the Caribbean. Surrounded by family and nature. I’m counting the days…
Where is yours?

Oh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there’s nothing in it
And you’ll [...]
Here I am, thinking of tomorrow’s NYRR New York Mini 10K. My first “big” race after baby. Feeling excited. I ran this race in 2008 and the experience was awesome. This is a women only race and it is truly amazing to see a sea of women running in

Spring flow,
Spring glow,
just typing the word spring makes me smile.
We’ve been having glorious days filled with beautiful colors and sun. The weather always inspires me to choose what to experiment with in the kitchen. I have two new favorites: quinoa and kale. Cooking them is simple, their benefits are plenty and they taste great.
I [...]

The snow was beautiful last week, until I had to push a stroller with a 20-pound boy around Brooklyn. I don’t need to use the rowing machine at the gym for a while… Today there is snow falling again! I can’t wait to see those colorful flowers glowing around the tree trunks.
The last couple [...]
It’s been a busy August — my sewing machine is finally ready, I’ve been drawing a bit, and just started to work on a new and updated website/blog among many other things.
Our next
One of our good friends introduced us to the beautiful collection of children’s books called the Maurice Sendak.
The collection has four tiny books perfect for little hands: Alligators All Around (an alphabet book), Chicken Soup with Rice (book of months), One Was Johnny (a counting book), and Pierre (a cautionary tale). The simplicity of [...]
I’ve been active thinking of new projects, designing a new website/blog, and beginning to take my running and yoga practice to the next level.
My mind and body were ready for a little stir up so last week I found myself running at lunch time in Tangled Alphabets: León Ferrari and Mira Schendel at Ernesto [...]
Well, I’m back from a couple of weeks of feeling like everything is happening at the same time. I can happily write that after three months of having “not so great” runs I’m slowly making some progress.
It was during one of those tough runs when my attitude changed. I decided to give myself the chance [...]
One of my goals this week was to go back to my usual five-day-a-week workout routine. I’m happy to say that I managed to do it. Movement is my way of staying positive and dealing with challenging situations. It also influences my work.
On Wednesday, I had a pleasant experience while in yoga class. The [...]
It’s been some time since I last ran so I’m slowly adding short runs to my morning walks. It feels great to see and notice the little things while running. There is so much visual information around us that running has become part of my art practice.
To honor Earth Day (April 22), I thought of [...]
It’s been already three weeks since Mateo arrived and I’ve enjoyed every second of it. As an artist, I want Mateo to be surrounded by creativity everyday. I listened to music during my pregnancy and music seems to be one of his favorite things. He already has an iTunes playlist! Here are some of the [...]
Although it’s snowing in New York, today is the first day of spring. The spring is my favorite season. It’s the symbol of new beginnings. It’s when everything turns green, when days become longer, and the sun feels stronger. I’m beginning to find time to go for walks until my body is ready to run [...]
First of all, thank you all for the good wishes. We are getting so close to the due date! Our home is filled with a sparkling feeling of anticipation.
We all know that during tough times there is always space for positive thinking and change. But watching or reading the news lately, makes it a challenge [...]
What a great day we had in New York yesterday. In the afternoon, I went to a meeting in downtown Manhattan and as I entered the building, I already knew that after the meeting, I was going to walk the Brooklyn Bridge back home.
While I walked the bridge, I saw lots of runners, [...]
