I walked along the sand to the rhythm of the gentle lullaby that the waves sang, with no idea of where I was going.
where I was going. I came across a sign on the beach made of driftwood with a message written in
magic marker: 'Even if you are lost, you are here now, and that is enough.
Lost... I could have been lost, completely lost, with no idea of how to find my way home
What was my home? Where was my home?" My spirit could have been shattered in all those
moments when I wasn't sure if I would make it, but I kept walking. I didn't lose my purpose. I kept
moving forward.

My life has been marked by transitions and uncertainty, unpredictable and frightening moments that have
thrown me in the exact direction I needed to go. I have no regrets because every decision that

slow motion, rose above the ocean, turning the reddish clouds into an intense network of stripes.
orange and yellow. The sun rose higher, the bright rays began to warm the air, the
colors quickly faded, and the show ended.

Joseph became great while alone in a foreign land and gained the strength needed to
remain true to his identity because he saw the image of his father Jacob in his mind. And by tapping into his
experiences with his father, Joseph saw his roots, his foundation, his own image, his potential. I followed his
example and stayed connected to my roots, remembering the image of my ancestors. Because our entire
history adds up to who we are, or at least to who we are always striving to be the best we can be.
I thought about the powerful life lessons that our people have left us, especially in this moment of such
vulnerabilidad
About faith: Never waver in your trust in God, especially when things seem bleak. it's the
only thing you can hold on to
