All the texts I’ve recently published in The Slow Burn have been born from a desire to share and inspire. I emphasize this because I recognize that it wasn’t always like this. In the past, when I called myself a publicist and entrepreneur, my writing was often driven by a need to build my personal […]
Very good idea, will I go in flip-flops, will there be thongs, will the sea be cold?
When I was offered the cover of the first issue of Ego, several years ago, I had no hesitation in refusing the kind offer. The name of the magazine and my unfamiliarity with its new format led me to pass up the [...]
If praying is talking to God, meditating is simply listening to Him. If you want to do it, the Frenchman Erik Satie composed a master key to do it: his Gymnopédies of 1987. To listen to God. Openhouse.

A couple of hours ago concluded a new experiment with Gorileo TV, in an interview between Laura Chinchilla and Rogelio Umaña from Tribu and through the Internet, the most democratic existing audiovisual communication channel. In an open space, with practically no production [...]
Standing up and walking is a miracle in itself. Opening our eyes and seeing is a gift of life that we cannot fail to appreciate, as the stories of people like Aimee Mullins remind us of the real obstacles some face, and [...]
