Happy Fifth of July! Did you have to work? If so, I've got a fantastic tip for you below. Let's get to this week's edition of:

PICTURE: 📸

Last weekend I headed to Isla Mujeres for a dual birthday celebration.

I took a picture from the hotel just after a tropical downpour. My thoughts are with the people of Quintana Roo, Yucantan, and TX as Hurricane Baryle moves through this weekend.

OPTIMISM: 💖

COOL FIND: 🕵🏽‍♂️

If you pay attention to my social life, you may have noticed my breaks in drinking - they're self-imposed time-outs from alcohol. From 30 days, 6 months to indefinitely (my longest stretch was 18 months) I feel good saying no. NOTHING BAD has ever come from stopping. This morning's NY Times podcast, The Daily had a great episode on the topic. How Bad is Drinking for You, Really? I might just go back to NO alcohol. Check out, and tell me if you'll join me.

HOMEWORK: 📝

Multilingual Picnic in the Park: Pack a picnic basket with a variety of multicultural snacks and treats, and head to a local park for a leisurely picnic with friends or family. Practice speaking different languages and share stories about your diverse backgrounds while enjoying nature. 🧺🌳

OTHER STUFF: 📢

Did you have to show up to work today? Prepare to get rid of future fomo by requesting the following days off to maximize your consecutive PTO for the rest of the year and into 2025. Use the below dates to request the number of days off and get the total on the right. This is a great way to plan short getaways too!

• Sept 3 - 6 = four days >> 9 days off
• Nov. 12 - 15 = four days >> 9 days off
• Nov. 25 - 27 = four days >> 9 days off
• Dec. 23-24, 26-27, 30-31 = six days >> 12 days off!
• Jan 21 = 1 day >> 4 days off
• Feb 14 = 1 day >> 4 days off
• May 23 = 1 day >> 4 days off

As always THANK YOU for opening these emails, I am truly grateful. I hope you enjoyed today's POCHO Stuff Email. Have a fantastic weekend, and see you next week!

Abrazos,
