    (Antevíspera del Día del Abuelo en Argentina) «Esta mañana iba sentado en el autobús que me lleva de Alajuela a San José, cuando entró una jovencita acompañada de un campesino que, al parecer, era su abuelo. Ella ocupó un asiento vacío detrás del mío, y le dijo a su acompañante que se sentara en el que estaba a mi lado.... »Este campesino era sumamente rústico.... Su rostro revelaba una vida de trabajo rudo bajo el sol, y su fisonomía no era nada agradable. Andaba sin afeitarse, con las uñas sucias, aunque con ropa aseada. Llevaba un sombrero que acentuaba su origen. Miraba nervioso a todas partes y se agarraba del asiento como el que nunca ha montado en autobús.... Huyéndoles a las personas del pasillo, se acercaba demasiado a mí, y casi me tocaba la cabeza con el ala de su sombrero. Me sentí molesto. »En medio de mi desagrado, sentí un toque del cielo.... Se me ocurrió que aquel campesino bien pudiera haber sido uno de mis abuelos, a quienes nunca conocí, y que eran campesinos como él, y tal vez igualmente rústicos. Antonio y Rafael, que así se llamaban, nunca salieron del campo, y allí murieron relativamente jóvenes sin haber conocido a casi ninguno de sus nietos. Gastaron su vida bajo el sol, tras las yuntas de bueyes, y doblados al surco a fin de mantener a su familia. »Ese campesino también podía ser yo mismo si mis padres no se hubieran ido a la ciudad antes de yo nacer. Si hubieran seguido viviendo en el campo, ahora yo sería un rústico guajiro cubano.... »En ese momento el autobús pasó frente a un pequeño cementerio cerca del aeropuerto. Contemplé las cruces y pensé en la muerte. Me di cuenta de que, al final, tanto el cuerpo de ese rústico campesino costarricense como el de este guajiro cubano pulido por las circunstancias de la vida y bendecido por la misericordia de Dios van a ir al mismo sitio. Allí los gusanos no van a preguntar si sabíamos historia, literatura o psicología. A ellos no les importa si uno cultiva la tierra o si escribe versos. Se lo comen a uno de todos modos. Allí terminan el desprecio de los ricos por los pobres y la envidia de los pobres por los ricos. »Volví a mirar el rostro del campesino.... Lo vi un poco diferente. Era un ser humano a quien Dios ama. Era un hombre tan valioso como yo ante los ojos del Creador.... »Llegamos a la capital de Costa Rica. El autobús se detuvo.... ¡Qué bueno si me hubiera atrevido a saludar a aquel hombre de campo! Me hubiera gustado decirle aunque fuera: “Me llamo Luis. ¿Cómo se llama usted?” ... El campesino, sumamente nervioso, trató de ponerse de pie.... La jovencita que lo acompañaba lo sujetó y le dijo: “Espérese, don Luis.” »Y don Luis bajó casi de la mano por quien parecía su nieta. El otro Luis lo contempló por última vez, pidiéndole a Dios que bendijera a su tocayo....»1 Si bien muchos nos identificamos con el trasfondo y la experiencia que nos cuenta Luis Bernal Lumpuy en estas reflexiones, lo que más nos hace falta es tener esa actitud ante la vida, que lo lleva a concluir: «Volví a pensar en Dios, agradecido. Volví a darle gracias porque me ha permitido ver, tener y disfrutar de cosas que no vieron, ni tuvieron ni disfrutaron mis abuelos ni mis padres.»2 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Luis Bernal Lumpuy, «Hoy me acordé de mis abuelos», artículo inédito enviado al autor por correo electrónico en 1998 a modo de archivo adjunto, publicado en 2010 por Luis Bernal Lumpuy como uno de los capítulos de su libro Crónicas breves de un viajero cualquiera, pp. 13-14. 2 Ibíd.

    Sin piedad por la hambruna, sin atender los llamados de sus propios compatriotas cada vez más avergonzados y perturbados por la crueldad de una ocupación que pretende total sobre Gaza y ante la reprobación de gran parte de la comunidad internacional, Benjamín Netanyahu no parece estar dispuesto a detenerse. ¿Hasta cuándo? En esa barbarie cotidiana de bombas y hambre generalizada, el domingo seis periodistas más fueron asesinados, un “crimen de guerra” calificado así por Reporteros sin Fronteras. Hasta ahora, de acuerdo con Naciones Unidas, 242 periodistas han perdido la vida en Gaza. Según el Instituto Watson de Relaciones Internacionales, esta es la guerra más mortífera para los periodistas, de todos los conflictos bélicos que se tienen registrados desde el siglo XIX. “Los periodistas son los pocos testigos que aún tenemos en Gaza”, indicó Arthur Romeau, director de Reporteros Sin Fronteras (RSF) para América Latina, al poner en perspectiva el asesinato los responsables de registrar, documentar, transmitir y escribir la cruda crisis humanitaria que se vive en la franja.

    Welcome back to School Counseling Simplified! As we dive into the back-to-school season, many of us are seeing students who are struggling with separation anxiety and school refusal. In this episode, we're talking about how you can support not only the students experiencing anxiety, but also the teachers in your building and the parents at home. We'll cover a wide range of practical, school-based strategies that you can implement right away. From calming tools and classroom tips to talking points for caregivers, this episode will give you a full toolkit for addressing separation anxiety at the start of the school year. Whether you're working with new kindergarten students, recent transfers, or kids who are just feeling unsure after summer break, these ideas will help you build connections, reduce fear, and create a strong foundation for the year ahead. Tips for Supporting Students School Tours: Offering a separate tour (outside of open house or back-to-school night) can help new or anxious students become familiar with the campus and reduce fear of the unknown. Safe Spaces: Creating a calm-down corner in your counseling office, or encouraging teachers to have one in the classroom, can give students a space to feel grounded. Daily Check-ins: Offer brief check-ins during the first few days or weeks to help students feel supported by a trusted adult. Safety Plans: For students still experiencing significant anxiety after rapport has been built, work together to create a personal safety plan that outlines their support system and calming strategies. Small Groups: Run a separation anxiety small group using CBT-based activities, mindfulness tools, and games to help students feel less alone and more empowered. Tips for Teachers Buddy Systems: Pair students experiencing anxiety with a calm, confident peer to help them feel supported and included. Visual Schedules: Use visual schedules to help students know what to expect throughout the day, reducing anxiety caused by uncertainty. SEL Integration: Incorporate social-emotional learning into daily routines with a consistent morning meeting or circle time. Read-Alouds: Use books like The Invisible String to open up conversations about separation and connection. Classroom Jobs: Assign meaningful classroom roles to help anxious students feel a sense of purpose and belonging. Transitional Objects: Allow students to bring a comforting object from home (such as a stuffed animal, small toy, or photo) during the first few days. Tips for Parents and Caregivers Validation: Encourage caregivers to acknowledge their child's feelings without minimizing them. A simple “I see this is really hard for you” goes a long way. Consistent Routines: Remind parents of the power of predictability. A steady sleep schedule, breakfast routine, and drop-off ritual can ease anxiety. Practice Separations: Suggest that parents do short practice separations before school starts (e.g., playdates or time at a grandparent's house). Quick Goodbyes: Encourage brief, confident goodbyes at drop-off and reassure the child about who will pick them up. Lingering can unintentionally reinforce anxiety. Positive Modeling: Remind parents that children often take cues from adults. Expressing enthusiasm and trust in the school helps children feel the same. By supporting students, teachers, and families together, you can help reduce separation anxiety and set everyone up for success this school year. This episode offers you a well-rounded approach that's practical, compassionate, and easy to implement.   Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT Separation Anxiety Group  Podcast Episode on Supporting Anxious Students  Books: The Invisible String by Patrice Karst  First Day Jitters by Julie Danneberg  A Letter from Your Teacher: On the First Day of School by Shannon Olsen    Connect with Rachel: TpT Store Blog Instagram Facebook Page Facebook Group Pinterest Youtube More About School Counseling Simplified: School Counseling Simplified is a podcast offering easy to implement strategies for busy school counselors.

    There's nothing quite like the electric buzz of a FASTer Way event. The hugs. The breakthroughs. The “I'm not alone in this” moments. In this episode, Amanda spills why our live gatherings are pure magic for connection, accountability, and transformation — and drops a hint that even more in-person experiences are coming your way. But first… a revelation! Amanda recently discovered she's allergic to Florida. Yes, really. That revelation sent her down an unexpected rabbit hole into the world of mold toxicity. Those nagging symptoms — depression, brain fog, stubborn fatigue, and that strange “wired but exhausted” feeling — might not just be “life”... they could be mold talking. When Amanda spends time at her home in Costa Rica, the difference is instant. “It is like a veil lifted,” she says, and she can see just how much her environment has been impacting her health.  Now, she's on a targeted healing protocol: a low histamine diet, strategic supplements, and regular bloodwork with Dr. Stephen Cabral. (Hot tip: reheating leftovers can trigger a histamine spike — who knew?)  She's even considering tearing down her home and rebuilding it from scratch with specialists to ensure it's truly mold-free. And because stress can be just as sneaky as mold…let's talk cortisol belly. If you've got stubborn midsection fat, energy crashes, or you're up all night and dragging all day, you might be living in cortisol overdrive.  That's where our 5-Day Cortisol Reset comes in.

    In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, host Paul F. Austin welcomes cultural historian and acclaimed author Mike Jay. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-316/?ref=278 Together they explore the untold history of nitrous oxide, psychedelic experimentation in the Romantic era, and the deeper cultural and philosophical roots of psychedelic science. Mike shares insights from his latest book, Free Radicals, highlighting how figures like Humphry Davy and William James helped shape psychedelic thought long before the 1960s. The conversation weaves through ancient San Pedro rituals, colonial attempts to suppress peyote use, and the divergent paths of modern psychedelic medicine. From poetic self-experimentation to medicalized models, Mike unpacks the historical tensions between grassroots healing and institutional control—and what this means for the future of psychedelic culture. Mike Jay is a British author and cultural historian who has written widely on the history of drugs, consciousness, and medical science.

    In this episode of Waypoints, we head to the heart of Central America for a deep dive into one of the most diverse and exciting fly fishing destinations in the world: Costa Rica. Host Jim Klug is joined by Chuck Hill and Marvin Rodriguez, the founders of 4 Corners Costa Rica - an innovative outfitting operation that offers an incredibly-diverse line-up of options and itineraries for fishing this extraordinary country. From the tarpon-filled jungle rivers of the Caribbean coast to the Pacific's roosterfish and bluewater species, 4 Corners has built a seamless, multi-location program that combines serious fishing with immersive cultural experiences. For traveling anglers looking to chase a wide range of exotic species while experiencing the full breadth of Costa Rica's beauty and hospitality, this is the ultimate custom-built adventure.Over the course of the episode, Jim, Chuck, and Marvin explore what makes Costa Rica such a unique angling destination - from the logistics of switching coasts in a single itinerary to the details of their personalized approach to customized trip planning. Listeners will hear about the different fisheries, the species available year-round, the gear needed to target everything from giant tarpon to jungle snook and offshore marlin, and off course advice on how to plan the ultimate Costa Rican getaway. Whether you're a Costa Rica fishing veteran or new to Central American angling, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at how 4 Corners is changing the way people experience fly fishing in Costa Rica - one unforgettable corner at a time.After the success of the 2024 Belize and 2023 Baja Bluegrass events, we're excited to bring the experience back to Belize for 2025.

    Send us a textWhat if the perfect expat destination for Americans isn't Portugal or Costa Rica, but South Africa? A country where your dollars stretch four times further, world-class healthcare costs pennies on the dollar, and English is widely spoken across breathtaking landscapes from cosmopolitan Cape Town to the wild savannas.South Africa represents a compelling paradox for potential American expats. The affordability is staggering—nice apartments from $430-1100 monthly, excellent wine under $5, and private doctor visits for $20—creating luxury-level living on modest budgets. Yet this financial advantage exists alongside complex social dynamics, occasional infrastructure challenges, and a bureaucracy that moves at its own distinctive pace.This episode breaks down everything Americans need to know about relocating to South Africa: multiple visa pathways for retirees, remote workers, entrepreneurs and skilled professionals; the remarkable two-tier healthcare system; cultural integration in a country with eleven official languages; safety considerations beyond the headlines; and paths to permanent residency. Through conversation with American expat Heather Mason, who has lived in Johannesburg for 15 years, we explore both practical details and the intangible rewards that keep expatriates in South Africa long-term.Is South Africa right for everyone? Absolutely not. But for Americans seeking affordability without sacrificing quality of life, who value natural beauty and cultural richness over perfect infrastructure, and who approach new experiences with patience and openness—this overlooked destination might just be the answer. Featuring:Heather Mason-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:BlueskyYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock

    On this episode, CJ sits down with Santa Fe artist Eneida Valverde, whose life journey spans from her roots in Costa Rica to decades of teaching art in Maryland, and now, to the creative sanctuary of New Mexico. Surrounded by hollyhocks, peaches, and the ever-changing desert light, Eneida shares how her intuitional transcendental practice became the gateway to her current body of work—13 luminous angel paintings inspired by traditional retablos.Her process blends meditation, free-flow journaling, and intuitive mark-making, where shapes, patterns, and words emerge organically. Using watercolors, acrylic pens, and gold leaf, she transforms panels into spiritual expressions labeled with words like “Sanctuary,” “Attunement,” and “Alignment.” “I am following my soul and my spirit,” Eneida says. “I am connected to Spirit no matter what, and I am sharing it with everyone else in the universe. We are small, and yet we are huge.”Raised Catholic and deeply connected to nature, Eneida reflects on the importance of slowing down, sitting quietly, and letting each breath be a connection to Spirit. From teaching students to create loose, line-rich floral arrangements with sticks from the yard, to following her own soul's direction, her story is a testament to the beauty that arises when we stop judging ourselves and allow inspiration to flow.Learn more about Eneida and her classes, by visiting https://www.eneidasomarriba.comWant to learn more about CJ Miller?

    La decisión de Donald Trump de imponer aranceles del 15% a las exportaciones de Costa Rica y el más reciente anuncio que hizo este miércoles respecto de imponer 100% de gravamen a los semiconductores que se fabrican fuera de Estados Unidos, nos colocan en una situación compleja. Constituyen una enorme presión, ya que si la Ley Chips no se concreta, tanto los proyectos como los fondos asociados para esta iniciativa se esfumarían, lo que tendría incidencia directa en el financiamiento, apoyo estratégico y debilitamiento de nuestro país como destino de inversiones en este campo. La situación nos obliga a colocar el tema como máxima prioridad para definir las acciones urgentes y estratégicas que debemos adoptar para superar los obstáculos que tenemos respecto de nuestra competitividad.

    Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! August is here, which means it's officially back-to-school season and time to start planning your class lessons. While small groups and individual sessions are important, those referrals often trickle in later as teachers get to know their students. That's why I love starting the school year with a strong foundation of proactive, Tier 1 class lessons. In this episode, I'm walking you through 9 of my must-have class lessons that are perfect for kicking off the year. These lessons help you see every student and establish a consistent, supportive presence across campus. I'll also share tips for staying organized and avoiding overwhelm by using a curriculum map. (You can grab a free one in the show notes below.) What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why beginning the year with class lessons sets a proactive foundation How Tier 1 lessons help you reach every student while maximizing your time How to avoid overwhelm with curriculum mapping Creative ways to teach each essential lesson using games, stories, and activities 9 Back-to-School Class Lessons to Start the Year: Meet the Counselor Introduce yourself, your role, and how students can access your services. Try using a fun format like a game show (Jeopardy style) or an escape room with missions. Listening Skills Teach students what it really means to be an active listener. Activities like “Simon Says” are engaging and effective for younger students. Following Directions Reinforce routines and classroom expectations early on. Simple games like “Simon Says” can double for both listening and direction-following practice. Responsibility Foster independence and ownership among students. Use engaging stories, songs, or self-reflection activities to make it stick. Size of the Problem + Self-Regulation Teach students to assess and regulate their reactions. Introduce tools like Zones of Regulation to build a shared school-wide language. Self-Control Help students manage impulses and reactions. Use a social story like My Mouth is a Volcano or try a self-control escape room activity. Friendship Guide students in what it means to be a good friend and how to build healthy connections. Role-play or use storytelling to bring these concepts to life. Conflict Resolution Teach tools for resolving disagreements peacefully and respectfully. Programs like Kelso's Choice are a great way to introduce these concepts. Bullying Prevention Set expectations for kindness and respect from the beginning. Share clear definitions and strategies to prevent and report bullying. By starting the year with these lessons, you'll not only establish your presence as a school counselor but also build a foundation for a successful and supportive school year.   Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT Curriculum Map Freebie Blog - 9 Must-Have Counseling Lessons MTC Game Show  MTC Escape Room  Listening Skills Lesson Following Directions Lesson Responsibility Lesson - Primary Responsibility Lesson - Elementary Self-Regulation Lesson SOTP Activity Pack Self-Control Lesson - Primary Self-Control Lesson - Elementary Mission: Self-Control Friendship Lesson Mission: Tattling Vs Reporting Bullying Prevention Lesson Guidance Lessons Super Bundle Kelso's Choice My Mouth is a Volcano Book   Connect with Rachel: TpT Store Blog Instagram Facebook Page Facebook Group Pinterest Youtube More About School Counseling Simplified: School Counseling Simplified is a podcast offering easy to implement strategies for busy school counselors.

    lesnorman.comRadio/Podcast Host, Inspirational Keynote Speaker, Cable TV MLB Analyst, Life/Executive Coach, Former MLB Player, Husband, and Father Les Norman has a passion for people. He finds human beings utterly fascinating, loves sharing their stories-the REAL ones-with the world on his radio show and podcast, "Breakin' the Norm". He is also driven to help create passionate servant leaders in business, assist others to establish their own personal brand, and lead men to be the best they can be through life and executive coaching. One of his greatest rewards is to see others live joyfully and be successful! Les grew up without much in life. An abusive childhood could have left him broken, but he used the wrong road map to find the right places. He often heard phrases like "You'll never make it." or "You're not good enough.", but instead of believing the negative voices, it pushed him to become driven to achieve the success he wanted to. He learned what true joy is through faith and family. And most importantly, he used his gift of encouragement to help others in life. He's had a remarkable ride. Earning a Jr. Olympic Gold Medal. Playing Major League Baseball. Cliff jumping into the wild ocean in Venezuela. Sitting in a volcanic hot tub in Costa Rica. And even winning on the hit game show, "Wheel of Fortune"!! But with all those cool experiences, the best one of all...being husband to his bride and best friend of 26 years, Kristin, and being baseball coach and dad to amazing sons Mack (22) and Tayt (18)!

    Dr. Jeffrey BurkeTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Dr. Jeffrey Burke. Dr. Burke has been an expert in the natural products & herbal supplement industry for the past 4 decades. In this episode, we chat about how he got into that field, and why he decided to become a Naturopathic Practitioner, as well as a Master Herbalist. We discuss his 20,000 plus episodes of his national radio show, and why he ended it after 40 years. Dr. Burke also explains what a naturopathic practitioner is, what a master herbalist is, and what it means to be a certified nutritional consultant. Dr. Burke extolls the virtues and benefits of several natural products including: Ashwagandha, Turmeric, & others; and then tells me about how those herbs help alleviate the symptoms of stress, inflammation, and allergies. We discuss The Mediterranean Diet, and how the things that we become allergic to change with our environment. Dr. Jeffrey Burke recently became the Director of Education for Kokora Life; and as such, he tells me all about the new style of farming that Kokora is taking part in. The owner of Kokora Life is Ric Scalzo, a leader in the field for decades, and he has instituted Certified Regenerative Agriculture practices on his farm in Costa Rica. Dr. Burke tells me what that means, and why it is transforming the farming & agricultural landscape worldwide. Finally, we discuss his podcast: Honest Health With Dr. Jeffrey Burke. On his podcast, he speaks with industry experts, as well as athletes, dieticians, and food health professionals. He even does deep dives on some of the specific herbs & products offered by Kokora Life. His goal with that podcast is to educate folks on the benefits of these supplements, whether they use his company's brand or not.
