The year 2021 has ended, and we are still fighting COVID-19. None of us would have expected it would’ve taken so long to say goodbye to the pandemic.

Our world is not only facing hardships due to COVID-19. In the United States alone, we see wildfires and hurricanes leaving behind many deaths and homeless families.

As time passes, we see more and more changes in nature, society and the governing power of the world. “Where should we go to be safe?” some ask. “Is this the time to go out of the great cities?”

¿Hay alguien que siempre llega tarde a las reuniones? Puede que esa persona seas tú. Sin embargo, si hay alguien que siempre llega a tiempo. Usted sabe a quién me refiero.
