***SPECIAL UPDATE FOR THE TIME-BEING, 3/27/2020***

I'm extremely sad to say so, but we're under Shelter-In-Place orders here in New Mexico.

All non-essential services and businesses are closed, we're not supposed to gather or go out in groups of more than five people, and any and all unnecessary contact with people other than family and those we've already been in contact with is extremely discouraged.

"Additionally, the state health department asked that anyone traveling into New Mexico from outside the state voluntarily isolate themselves for 14 days and watch for symptoms of COVID-19 disease. "

And so, in light of all this, though I'm not scared or panicking, I'm taking the situation seriously and am going to halt all hosting activities for the time-being. Also, I have a senior uncle who lives here with me, and I'm not willing to risk his well-being.

Thank you for understanding, please know that this is nothing personal against anyone of any nationality, ethnicity, or any other factor. I do wish you the best of luck and hopefully we can meet at another point in the future.

Ideally, it would be great if you could stay wherever you are, for the time-being, and then travel after things blow over. Whatever you decide to do, please consider your own health, and that of others, as you update your plans. It's not a bad thing to go with the flow and place you long-term well-being over short-term goals, right? Your life is so worth it! :)

Peace and blessings,
Ariel

Music, Movies, and Books

I love almost all music, depending on my mood, though my favorites are Latin, funk, showtunes, blues, folk, indie; I’m an avid reader, transformational and personal growth nonfiction, as well as classic literature, historical fiction, travelogues (especially about women explorers and visionaries); I love good musicals, comedies, international and indie films, as well as movies based on true stories of visionary, unique, adventurous individuals.
