Bye, bye June & welcome July with some green The month of June is gone, and July begins. Hopefully, it will bring joy and many BCHs to all of us. Yesterday, I spent most of the morning taking care of the plants on my balcony. And also, I've taken my time to see my achievements on BCH in June. So I'm going to tell you how my green day was. Some background - A visit to a nursery in La Union A couple of days ago, during one of the driving lessons that I'm giving to my son. We…
Mango chutney and other thoughts Yesterday, I've published in Noise a photo of mango chutney and promised that I would later explain here in detail how I had made it. As some of you may already know, I live in Venezuela, and here in some areas of the country, mango trees grow everywhere. If we had a national fruit, it would be the mango for sure. We have many varieties of mangoes. The ones I like the most are what we call Mangos de injerto. And I also love Mangas that are…
Five days in the darkness Since I saw the subject a couple of weeks ago of the writing prompt on the topic of Darkness, I've been thinking about how to organize my thoughts and tell you about an event that plunged those of us who lived in Venezuela into five days of darkness. I'm writing this chronicle about the biggest blackout that Venezuela has suffered for @JonicaBradley's writing prompt. The day of the blackout It was the afternoon of Thursday, March 7, 2019. I'd just…
The story behind a pic *July 6, 2021* It's a saying that every photograph tells a story. And I think it's true. But the stories behind the pictures sometimes can be enjoyable and bring back fond memories over time. Or other times, they could remind us of some a not so pleasant experience. Well, this one, it could have been one more photo among a lot of photographs from any given day. But it will always bring me the memory of a good scare that I went through. The story Last…
I want to thank my new sponsor @SaraEscribe for supporting me. Sara has been writing here on Read.cash for just a week now, but she already has some great articles that shouldn't be missed. I encourage you to visit her profile.
I'm a proud mama For those of you who don't know, I have a 17 year old teenage son who is only one year away from finishing high school. And if I have to describe him in few words. He is the sunshine of my life. Yesterday afternoon, we went to an event organized by the Mayor's Office for the recognition of academic excellence of the school students in the municipality where we live. My son was invited for his academic performance on behalf of his school. Of course, I'm a…
It's been a month It's time to recap my time on Read.cash. I registered on the platform more than four months ago. But at the start, I didn't spend much time here. I had focused all my attention on making noise. Time passed, and one day I read an article by @JonicaBradley about freedom. That article was her first writing prompt. And exactly a month ago, I got inspired and wrote my article on the topic. I wrote that article not to publish anything random but from my heart.…
Today I wake up with two new sponsors. I thank you both from the bottom of my heart for supporting what I write. I'm sure many of you know @JonicaBradley and have participated in her prompts. And if you don't, I encourage you to go check her profile without anydelay. And @ARTicLEE , you can't miss visiting his profile and reading his amazing articles that feed our souls because of their freshness and the beautiful images that always accompany them. Thank You both! ♡
Crossfire Last Thursday morning, we received a message from my sister-in-law asking us what was going on. She has lived in Spain for many years. And she had read on Twitter that Caracas had been under crossfire for hours from armed clashes between criminal gangs and state security forces. The clashes were taking place in the southwest of the city. These clashes aren't isolated events in the city. There are huge sectors of popular slums that are under the control of criminal…
How much coffee is too much? My yesterday's post about the events in Caracas in recent days left me feeling a bit down. Some news of arrests circulates today on social media. There is no news of more clashes, and life goes on. So today, I'm going to write about something much more inconsequential, the purchase of a new coffee maker. https://read.cash/@CoquiCoin/crossfire-e8672f85 If you'd asked me the question in the title of this article a couple of days ago, I would have…
Thank you my dear @Bloghound for renewing my sponsorship. I think you all already know her, but if you don't I encourage you to go straight to check her profile. You won´t regret, she is awesome. Thank you, sis! ♡
Nah! I've done all Yesterday, I was exchanging some messages with Monika (@fantagira), who asked me if I was going to publish my **Never have I ever** article. I told her that I had already generated the questions. But that I wasn't very inspired. But the truth is all my other drafts are in the middle of writing. And since I wasn't sleepy, probably still from the effects of the weekend excess of caffeine. Here it's 2 a.m.…
A glimpse of nature in my tropical land The topic of this week's prompt is Nature. I love being in contact with nature. And even though I live in a big city, Caracas is a privileged place as far as nature is concerned. A few days ago, I made a post on Noise.cash about 5 things I love about Caracas. All of them referred to its nature. https://noise.cash/post/187nwxm0 But this time, I'm going to go further. And I'm going to show you a bit about the nature that my whole country…
A snack paid for with my BCH A few days ago, I was asking myself the question. Should I hold or spend my BCH? This is definitely a trick question. At first glance, I would quickly say Hold. The price of BCH now is inviting to accumulate more. I have my personal goal of accumulating 1 BCH with my earnings on Noise.cash. And I hadn't thought of spending my BCH sats until I've met my goal. But then also a few days ago, I read an article by @D.B.Cooper that set my alarms. You…
One fine day This morning, I read another of the wonderful articles of my dear @FarmGirl. Her article ended with a question, *How do you like your life to be?* And my answer was that I'm satisfied with the life I already have. And I just want to enjoy the opportunity to live each day. You can read her article here. https://read.cash/@FarmGirl/tis-the-way-i-see-it-behind-all-94484961 But I kept thinking about the question. The time we have in life is borrowed and it's up to…
The little girl I was These days challenges have been a trend at Read.cash. First, it was Never I have ever. My version of it can be read here. Afterward, a new one has been around, This and That. But I haven't felt like doing it yet. However, these days I reached another challenge that I liked more than all the others, and it's from @bmjc98. The challenge is to share 10 facts about you when you were a kid. I'm going to let some memories flow. And tell you a bit bout the…
Success is not Final This week's prompt is about Success. The word success has a very specific meaning, but the interpretation given by each person can be different. What is a success for me, may not be so for you. But what is certain is that **success is not final**. For some people, success is in the perception that others have of them. Today's society encourages us to be successful. Social networks are full of photos of ideal moments and dream lives. In social networks,…
The Queen is ours How are you, my dear Read.cash readers? I hope you are having a great weekend. I'm going to talk about one of the most well-known typical Venezuelan foods, the arepas. But I won't talk about just any arepa. I'm going to tell you **which is the queen of the arepas**. Some of you may not know what arepas are. But they are a Venezuelan food made with cornflour. Their origin dates back to pre-Columbian times, and their place of origin has been in dispute for…
A good way to start my week in Read.cash, I've received a notice of a new sponsor. I'm very honored to have @Princessbusayo as one of my sponsors. If you haven't read her articles yet, what are you waiting for to go straight there. Thank you so much, dear Princess! Gracias! :)
Knowing your strengths, it's a plus **How are you, dear fellows of Read.cash? I hope that life today smiles on you.** Today, I'm going to provide some information about how to know what are your character strengths. And I hope that you'll find it useful. I've written briefly about this in the En Español channel of Noise. But today, I'm going to delve a bit into the subject. Since I think that knowing your strengths, it's a plus. I bring all of this here because these days, I…
Big thanks to @Bloghound for all your support. You're always there for me, and I do really appreciate it from the heart. Thank you so much for the generous sponsorship. Big hugs to you, my dear wicked friend!
When your Pin isn't so secret Hello, my fellows Read.cash readers. I hope life rise and shines for you today. I'm going to tell you about an unusual thing that happens in Venezuela. Imagine this scene. Let say I'm a cashier in a grocery store. And you give me your bank card to pay. I swipe your card and enter all the payment information. And when the card machine asks for the pin, I turn and ask you to tell it to me. Probably, you would think that I'm crazy by asking you for…
Let's talk about kebabs, the Cag Kebab ***Hello, my fellow Read.cash readers. Have a good day, those that are waking up. And good night, for all of us on the other side of the world.*** One of the things I love to write about is my travel experiences. And of course, about food. And if it's a combination of both, much better. And here I have published some articles related to food. But not with travel experiences. So today, I'm going to share one. Something I love about…
