Well, I was indeed enjoying life at the fullest (so I thought). Little did I know that I was far from that.

This is the story of me and the girl who introduced me into understanding that friendship is not only a companionship thing but could also have a mentoring side. I met Pam Milian back when I was around 22 -I’m 30 at the time- in a VERY competitive work environment, I was new and was getting an idea of my surroundings. That was definitely the vibe. As she walked inside the office it got filled with her overpowering essence. She reeked experience, glamour and confidence. This i

To continue honoring the pieces that make me whole and have manifested in the shape of girlfriends, now it’s all about a bootylicous, kinda shy, gentle, innocent babe – I can already imagine her face blushing with curiosity and shyness as she reads. (She’s the one with a white tank top smudge in the middle). I can just go on and write so many wonderful adjectives about her but instead of a blog entry I’ll end up with a target market key words list, lol. I cannot find a better

On my second post about some of the women who have helped shape my worldview I’d like to bring into mind my dear friend Jacqueline. This is a girl who can laugh out loud! She’s got a super fun, uncomplicated and practical mindset. I’m not sure if this is either a personality trade of hers or a skill but oh men, she works it really naturally. Our history together gets robust in a very strategic season of life: College years; right before hitting maturity (…well she did). -In c

This is the first entry of a series about the women in my life; our relationships have filled different gaps that have helped shape my personhood till the day. Mentor, sister, friend, inspiration, role model, unconditional: those are some of the words that come to my mind when I bring to mind memories with them. I’ll start where I am right now, and that’s with my oldest friend. The escenario where we met was a NEW classroom in a NEW high school where my mates knew each other

Léeme en español: Si eres mi jefe no leas ésto I’ve been thinking lately -for the last 10 years, pretty much since I hit adulthood -about my… how can I call it? Lack of commitment? Need for accountability? Lack of motivation? Need for discipline? Time and time again I reach this moment where my current thing becomes past news, just like that. Whatever interested me today, made me so passionate to go research, study the topic and then moved me to act, simply stops occupying sp

Picture this: I was walking with a pair of dark blue lavished skinny jeans, a beige structured linen blouse, a pair of animal print brown espadrilles, washed face, my curls bouncing with a brown and black lines hair pin and a beige toned snake clutch… In case that was confusing, let me help with a picture: My clutch was hanging from the stroller since I was taking my dog for a walk with my 2 month old hoping he would finish his nap (he did). As I looked down I realized I had

Léeme en español I will start saying what I believe about spirituality (I will also try to be as concrete as possible): There is a spiritual reality which manifests thru the material universe. I believe it’s created, orchestrated and supported by the Host of Hosts, the master mind and the perfect power: God Almighty. I believe human kind is the most powerful manifestation of God’s logic and it’s made perfect in Jesus Christ. -I’ll expand on the details in later posts. That be

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken. — Oscar Wilde. I’m just getting this new blog going, mainly for my own thoughts acknowledgment. The thing is that different thoughts keep passing thru my mind all the time, on different topics and they start getting connected; sometimes I wonder: am I crazy or is this creativity? I guess will find out soon enough (text messaging “haha”). My intention is to capture and voice my opinion, my world view, my inner man, my je ne sais q

Well… I will start introducing myself. This is Pury Beatriz Adriana Briceño Purcallas (maybe I should put comas between each name) writing. You can call me Adriana and make things simple. To say the truth I’ve realized I’m not afraid of making things difficult. Actually, many times I do.. just for the sake of experimenting in my own skin what it feels to fall and stand up again. From that experience I can say that making things simple is my new thing. My greatest accomplishme
