PICTURE: 📸

This week I visited Mexico's Cineteca Nacional

I took a picture of the iconic covered patio entrance to the Cineteca Nacional de México, a film archive and cinematographic museum in Mexico City. The site is also a theatre with traditional viewing auditoriums and an outdoor projection lawn where I took in a black and white 1950s film screening gas a part of an homage to Silvia Pinal, legendary Mexican Actress who recently passed away.

OPTIMISM: 💖

Winter solstice is next week, days start getting longer --swer.

"In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer."

— Albert Camus

COOL FIND: 🕵🏽‍♂️

Lucky for me (and you) our POCHO community of newsletter subscribers is always pointing me to cool discoveries and trivia that's fun to share. Thanks to Marisol Benitez for this week's find about my favorite family game La Loteria Mexicana.

Did you know the Loteria was actually invented by a French dude to promote his commercial endeavors!? Check out content creator Rodrigo Montejo's Instagram reel about La Loteria for trivia about its history and intended purpose.

HOMEWORK: 📝

Las fiestas Navideñas are in full swing, why not incorporate a Multigenerational Bicultural Dance Party: Learn a traditional Mexican dance and a traditional American dance, then have a family dance party. I'm talkin' Caballo Dorado vs Electric Slide vibes up in here. ¡Suerte!

OTHER STUFF: 📢

The end of the year is fast approaching and for today's other stuff, I simply want to ask: How you're doing, !? I scheduled myself a Mental Health Wellness Exam (MHW) for next week. A MHW exam is just like a physical, where you and a health care provider can explore important areas of your life that impact your physical and mental health and sense of well-being (that's areas like physical activity, sexual health, sleep quality, and appetite/weight). This annual visit is preventative in nature and is often covered by your insurance carrier.

I encourage you to look into your health insurance benefits to see what mental health resources are sitting there unused. Let's start the new year off on the right foot, by knowing we're doing what we can proactively work on whole health and strive for a balanced existence. I think your worth it . xo

¡Muchas gracias for opening and reading these emails it really makes me happy to see your email on the "opened" list. THANK YOU for keeping me around. Have a fantastic weekend!

Many many thanks,
