Mi niñez en el Christmas/Holiday Season

Social Worker Flashbacks

Hi Cafeteros! And I am back….. again. Anyway, Rabbit trails upon rabbit trails, yes the typical! Y’all know me. This is an episode in which I share some thoughts on some memories while I was a Social Worker/ Case Manager for Department of Child Safety.

Mi niñez en el Christmas/Holiday Season

Church, family time, traditions, childhood memories all during Christmas and holiday season. Disclaimer: when I do speak about the family situation I want to clarify that it’s not EVERYONE. So I’m still thankful for the few that still check up from time to time.

Scapegoat.

What do you think of when you hear the word scapegoat/scapegoating? Do we just see examples of it throughout history or also in our modern society? Is scapegoating the act of one individual toward another group or vice versa? Can we think of personal relationships where scapegoating is very obviously happening?

What About Complacency?

We all know of that one person who just seems far beyond content about their current situation, or not, and they just seem complacent. Is it bad? There’s this theory called “Growth Rings” that I explain— makes a lot of sense. Where do we find the motivation to not just stay content and by default falling into the abyss of complacency?

Yo soy…. Mexican American.

Welcome back! Just a quick note on my adventure with coffee and with current events. Also, what is it and what was it to grow up as a Mexican American? Is it the same as being a Chicana/o?
