Surprise!
She opened the envelope and there it was: “Positive”. Once again my mom was pregnant.
It really was a surprise. After 8 years my mom got pregnant. My sister, my parents and I were excited, well my folks started thinking like parents: economy, education, time, etc. But I only thought one thing: “Wow! A baby brother.”
16 years later he still surprises me, a lot. I remember when he was in elementary…
“Girl Power”
“¿Por qué pediste ese libro? ¿Por qué estás con puro girl power?” fueron las palabras que mi hermana me dijo al ver el regalo que mi hermano me dio.
¿Cómo no voy a pedir algo así? Si siempre he estado rodeada de mujeres que salen adelante y que hacen cosas extraordinarias. Lo he visto en mi familia, como mi mamá, abuelas y tías; lo he visto en la biblia, como la reina Esther o Ruth. Ahora era…
Summer 2016

I don’t know if you’ve actually seen this episode, but Pam invites the entire office to her art show that she’s been gearing up for for a really long time. Nobody shows up except for Oscar and his partner (and they critique her work, calling her “lacking in courage” among other things, not realizing she is standing right behind them) and then Michael. And Michael is the only one who tells her she is great just for putting herself out there, and the only one who places value on what she’s done, and he points out all the little details she got right and notices absolutely every bit of hard work she put into it. And then treats Pam like the artist she is by not just paying her for her art, but displaying it where literally everyone can see it.
It’s one of my favorite episodes.
