👋🏽 Hey hey, !

It's May, and we have so much to catch up on. Too bad we only have a few minutes together today during this edition of...

The P.O.C.H.O. Stuff Email

​Algo bien for a fun Friday.

Edition: Friday, May 3, 2024​

Picture 📸 • Optimism💖 • Cool Find 🕵🏽‍♂️ • Homework 📝 • Other Stuff 📢

PICTURE: 📸

I took a picture of stencil art that I spotted on a morning walk with the girls.

The message is clear, and I hope whoever needed it got it. There's so much to speak out for these days. Do your best to keep conversations productive and insightful, and avoid raising your voice for it to be truly heard and understood.

OPTIMISM: 💖

"Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so." — Noam Chomsky

COOL FIND: 🕵🏽‍♂️

I didn't explicitly mention Lesbian Visibility Week (it's a thing) last week, a time dedicated to increasing the awareness of lesbian women and their issues.

Today I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge Mexican actress, and comedian Sara García Hidalgo, aka ‘la abuelita de México’, who was lesbian and supported many historic women's rights movements. Though sexuality was not discussed, and she was married and had a daughter, Sara spent most of her adult life with her high school sweetheart, a woman by the name of Rosario Gonzalez Cuenca, whom she remained with for 60 years until their passing in the 80's. See more pics and get the tea, or chocolate caliente, via this Instagram post.

HOMEWORK: 📝

Outdoor Yoga Fusion: Practice yoga outdoors, incorporating or create poses and movements inspired by both Mexican and American cultures. Embrace the serenity of nature as you stretch, breathe, and connect with your bicultural heritage. 🧘‍♀️🌿

OTHER STUFF: 📢

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and I'm here for it. I've been using an app to help calm my mind with meditations, sleep tracks, and other interesting activities. BALANCE is available for iPhone and Android and I'm obsessed. The app has a steep annual fee but your guy has a guest pass for you. You can try BALANCE today for a year free of charge using this guest pass. Give it a shot and see why it's my newest APP-session!

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!

Con mucho amor,

Tony U

P.S. Remember you can tell me what you think about the App, the homework assignment or wether you prefer IBARRA over Abuelita like me! Respond to this or any email from me, I read each one. Unsubscribe if you're not feelin' it anymore, I won't judge, or better yet forward it to someone as cool as you that you think would like to hear from me too and share this subscription link too. xo
