Feliz fin de semana,
Abrazos, Les dejo música para acompañar el camino,
Cinco años explorando y aprendiendo en WordPress.
Yannis Lobaina
Hoy, me gustaría celebrar junto a ustedes de manera virtual mis cinco años de aventura y aprendizaje en WordPress. Este aniversario es muy importante para mi, porque es parte de mi retos personales de aprender siempre algo nuevo.
Aquí, les comparto las cinco cosas más importantes que he aprendido hasta ahora.
Quiero agradecer, a TODOS los que me siguen, especialmente a los 5 primeros que por AZAR Causalmente se inscribieron en mi blog ( que no son ni familiares ni amigos ni esposo) . A los 5 personas que más me comentas , y a los 5 últimos bloggers que llegaron a mi espacio, bitácora, blog! A TODOS, mi agradecimiento eterno.
Les invito a que Relean o descubran mis cinco post más leído durante estos cinco años.
Los que me conocen, saben que amo la ciencia de la numerología. Y desde el punto de vista de la numerología, el 5 es el número del cambio, el movimiento, la mutación, el que permite alcanzar la maestría gracias la propia experimentación.
En mi opinión el 5 es un número mágico y poderoso. Este número posee unas fuertes connotaciones. Una de ellas es que el número 5 representa los 5 sentidos: la vista, el olfato, el oído, el gusto y el tacto. Visto así, el número 5 significa la adaptación y la fuerza del interior. Además como simbología del número 5 se relacionan con la creatividad y la diplomacia. Y por último, algo que me fascinó leer hace unos días , es que El 5 representa una invitación a disfrutar y experimentar la vida en todo su esplendor, transformándonos permanentemente.
Les dejo aquí algunas fuentes de las que me he nutrido para aprender.

Y cómo siempre, les comparto mis Playlist. Les abrazo grande, y deseo que este 2021 nos sea más ligero, que haya tiempo para explorar la creatividad, disfrutar la familia y jugar.
Miles de películas gratis en Kanopy. Y Recursos para apoyar el HOMESCHOOLING (in times of crisis)
Les quiero compartir, recursos que me parecen muy buenos, los he ido compilando de varias fuentes. Me parecen esenciales para equilibrar estos días sin escuela y sin vida social. Espero que les sean útiles. HOMESCHOOLING (in times of crisis) no es una tarea fácil para algunos padres, por lo que lo más recomendable según psicólogos, y educadores es acompañar a nuestros niños, pasar tiempo de calidad, y realizar juegos en donde puedan aprender algo cada día.
Kanopy, me gusta mucho, porque a demás de tener miles de películas gratis sin anuncios, sólo necesitas tu tarjeta de la biblioteca, y con ello podrás acceder cada mes a ocho películas gratis. Puedes encontrar una variedad de películas galardonadas en festivales, documentales muy buenos, y una sección muy bien curada para los niños. Y semanalmente, van agregando nuevos títulos.
Kanopy Kids, tiene una opción para acceso a controles parentales. En donde podemos limitar lo que nuestros pequeños pueden ver según la edad.
Y si te aburres con tantas películas, noticias, y estudios, y a tu pequeño(a) le gusta dibujar, les recomiendo este maravilloso canal de Mo Willems. Este es uno de los autores preferidos de Amélie. Descubrir estas clases han sido una gran bendición. Nos encanta.

Cuidense mucho, Un gran abrazo,
Mi primer post del año 2020, será para AGRADECERLES a todos/ as los que me siguen, leen y hacen de este blog enlareddeltiempo, una verdadera red de amigos lectores cómplices. Les deseo un gran año de paz, productivo, y sobretodo con calidad de vida.
El año pasado, tuve la fortuna de asistir a la boda de una de mis mejores amiga de la secundaria, en Italia. Un lugar mágico. De camino a Italia, decidimos visitar Barcelona, por muchas razones, la primera, porque, nuestra hija Amélie podría conocer la tierra en dónde fue concebida. Barcelona, es una de mis ciudades amadas, siempre me sorprende, en ella tengo muy buenos amigos, siempre descubro nuevos lugares que se me hacen inolvidables.
Esta vez, en un viaje muy corto pero sin compromisos más que disfrutar lentamente el día a día. Redescubrí entre mis anotaciones, este mapa sobre Julio Cortázar en Barcelona, lo encontré en Internet hace mucho tiempo. Y cómo siempre, Cortázar me hizo salir a buscarlo, siempre me pasa, en la Habana en París, él siempre me hace recorrer la ciudad tras sus huellas.
Está vez, acompañada de este mapa con Once lugares de Barcelona, Once lugares que conocía y que había visitado antes, pero ahora desde los ojos de Julio Cortázar me lancé al azar al primer lugar.
2. El Parque Güell
El Parque Güell es un enorme jardín con peculiares elementos arquitectónicos realizados por el singular arquitecto Antonio Gaudí. Es otro de mis lugares preferidos, desde allí se puede contemplar la belleza de la ciudad condal. Y según algunos libros sobre Cortázar, este hermoso lugar le evocaba su infancia vivida en la ciudad de Barcelona.
El parque fue inaugurado en 1922 y desde entonces se ha convertido en uno de los principales lugares de interés turístico de la ciudad. En 1984 fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO.
3. El Rompeolas de Barcelona
Es muy conocido como El paseo de la Escullera (Rompeolas). Esta situado en el extremo de la Barceloneta, otro sitio que me encanta recorrer siempre que visito la ciudad. El paseo de la Escullera (Rompeolas) es un emblema de la ciudad marítima. La primera vez que lo visité, me hizo sentir nostalgia de Cuba, su olor a mar, su color y su gente.
4. El Corte Inglés.
Según la escritora Cristina Peri Rossi, nos cuenta en Julio Cortázar y Cris, a él le gustaba El Corte Inglés, porque en podía encontrar el tipo de camisas que le gustaba etc.
5.La Rambla.
Este es un sitio clave en la ciudad de Barcelona. Lugar de encuentros, compras, Bares, etc.
Sólo estuve una vez, y es increíblemente Hermoso, desde su acústica, arquitectura, colores, etc. Un sitio mágico.
7.Restaurant Punyalada.
Era un café-restaurante en Barcelona ubicado en la esquina del Passeig de Gràcia con la calle Rosselló. Inaugurado en 1927. Fue un punto de encuentro para artistas e intelectuales. Lamentablemente, cerró permanentemente en 1998.
8. Fundación Miró.
La fundación Miró, es uno de los sitios que debes visitar sí o sí, es un lugar hermoso. Un centro de estudio y difusión de la obra y el arte contemporáneo de Joan Miró. Ubicado en el Parc de Montjuïc, con unas vistas maravillosa de la ciudad condal.
https://www.fmirobcn.org/en/foundation/
Y a los que les gustan las aventuras, desde allí te puedes pasear en el Funicular, mientras aprecias el paisaje de la ciudad.
http://ar-tour.com/guides/things-to-see-in-barcelona/parc-de-montjuc-barcelona-metro.aspx
Me quedó pendiente, me perdí entre unos calles haciendo fotos y luego llego la tarde y debía volver a Santa Coloma de Gramenet ( de este peculiar barrio les hablaré muy pronto).
10. El Hotel Colón. Nunca me he hospedado en este Hotel, pero por su maravillosa ubicación, imagino que sea toda una aventura, despertar a medianoche, desde tú ventana saborear un buen tinto, y contemplar toda la ciudad, la Catedral de Barcelona, y hasta la bella Basílica de Santa María del Mar.
11. La cova del Drac.
No alcancé ir, desde que soy madre, las noches de fiestas se han priorizado por leer en la cama a mi pequeña. Pero, lo tengo guardado para nuestra próxima visita, me escaparé con mi amiga Ester y Yam a este Bar, que según Cortázar La Cova del Drac-Jazz Room, era habitualmente punto de encuentro de todos los amantes del jazz.
Barcelona tiene muchas calles y rincones que han sido habitados, frecuentados o inmortalizados por escritores de todas las épocas y de todos los orígenes. Merece la pena volver, y estoy segura que cada uno de nosotros encontrará un mapa de su autor_ pintor_ artista preferido en ella.
Yo que soy una amante de los mapas, siempre voy haciendo mi mapas culturales de las ciudades que visito, mapas que reflejen: el rastro de mi escritores favoritos, las librerías o bibliotecas que visité, las casas o las placas que marcan el sitio donde vivieron algunos escritores. etc.. Es una forma de evocar y volver.
Cómo siempre, les dejo esta playlist que les hice, para que conecten con la ciudad de Barcelona. Y disfruten mientras me leen. Feliz año 2020!
Gracias a la entrevista, que estoy trabajando para la excelente escritora cubana y amiga , Elaine Vilar Madruga. Volví a releer este cuento “Mamá juega a las cuquitas (Muñecas de Papel). Diez años han pasado, desde que lo escribí. Al revisitarlo, descubrí:
Mamá juega a las cuquitas y, a la par, corta la cabeza de los recuerdos. Mamá lo hace porque necesita dejar de pensar en la comida, en papá y en la historia no contada, la historia que camina por debajo de los cimientos del relato. Yannis Lobaina muestra el universo del niño con una particular inocencia que no se resiente ante los acontecimientos narrados aunque, en algún momento, el lector pueda preguntarse si el desconocimiento es verdadero o pretendido, realidad o máscara que coloca el niño para protegerse —realidad o máscara que coloca la autora sobre él .
Me encantaría, pedirles que lean el articulo, y el cuento. Es muy corto, y si desean me dejan sus comentarios. Siempre, es muy valioso, otros ojos, y lecturas. Gracias. Les dejo el link!
Un gran abrazo, Feliz semana!
Cómo siempre, les dejo un playlist que me encanta. Music for writing! Música para escribir!
