LOH CONTEST #279: Mi Paz: Entre Sueños y Realidad | My Peace: Between Dreams and Reality
Hello, dear friends of this wonderful community! It is a pleasure to be here for another week to share a little piece of my world with you. This week's challenges made me reflect on those moments of calm that we so desperately need in the midst of the daily hustle and bustle. Today I want to open the doors to my most cherished memories and rituals: from the refuge of the mountains to the aroma of my morning coffee. I hope you enjoy this journey through my peaceful corners!
¡Hola, queridas amigas de esta maravillosa comunidad! Es un placer estar aquí una semana más para compartir un pedacito de mi mundo con ustedes. Los desafíos de esta semana me hicieron reflexionar sobre esos momentos de calma que tanto necesitamos en medio del ajetreo diario. Hoy quiero abrirles las puertas de mis recuerdos y mis rituales más queridos: desde el refugio de la montaña hasta el aroma de mi café matutino. ¡Espero que disfruten este recorrido por mis rincones de paz!
1️⃣Describe la tarde perfecta para ti. ¿Dónde estaría? ¿Qué estarías haciendo? ¡Cuéntanos los detalles que lo harían perfecto!
1️⃣ Describe the perfect afternoon for you. Where would it be? What would you be doing? Tell us the details that would make it perfect!
Para mí, la perfección no tiene una sola forma; oscila entre dos paisajes que me sanan de maneras distintas. La primera versión de mi tarde ideal ocurre frente a la inmensidad del mar. Me veo caminando descalza por la orilla justo cuando el sol empieza a ceder, sintiendo el vaivén rítmico del agua templada que ha sido bendecida durante todo el día por sus rayos, envolviendo mis pies en una caricia reconfortante.
Adoro el aroma salino del océano y esa brisa constante que despeina mi cabello, llevándose consigo cualquier ruido mental y trayendo una paz profunda a mi alma. El cierre perfecto es simplemente sentarme en la arena, en silencio, para presenciar el espectáculo de tonos dorados y naranjas que el sol regala mientras se oculta en el horizonte.
For me, perfection doesn’t have a single shape; it oscillates between two landscapes that heal me in different ways. The first version of my ideal afternoon takes place in front of the vastness of the sea. I see myself walking barefoot along the shore just as the sun begins to yield, feeling the rhythmic sway of the warm water that has been blessed all day by its rays, wrapping my feet in a comforting caress.
I adore the salty scent of the ocean and that constant breeze that ruffles my hair, carrying away any mental noise and bringing deep peace to my soul. The perfect ending is simply sitting on the sand, in silence, to witness the spectacle of golden and orange tones that the sun gives away as it hides on the horizon.
Mi segunda tarde soñada me traslada a la montaña, específicamente a la cabaña de mi hermana en La Colonia Tovar. Allí, cuando la neblina empieza a bajar y el frío se hace sentir, comienza un ritual de calidez. Me encanta el momento de encender la chimenea o, mejor aún, una fogata en el exterior. El sonido de la madera crujiendo y el calor del fuego contrastando con el clima gélido crean una atmósfera de refugio y quietud que no cambiaría por nada.
Sin embargo, debo ser honesta con ustedes: tengo ya un tiempo sin poder visitar estos lugares. Mi carro no está en condiciones de salir a la carretera por los momentos, y aunque extraño profundamente el salitre y el aroma a pino, esta situación me ha enseñado una lección valiosa: a disfrutar plenamente con lo que tengo a la mano.
My second dream afternoon takes me to the mountains, specifically to my sister's cabin in La Colonia Tovar. There, when the mist begins to descend and the chill sets in, a ritual of warmth begins. I love the moment of lighting the fireplace or, even better, a bonfire outside. The sound of the wood crackling and the heat of the fire contrasting with the freezing weather create an atmosphere of refuge and stillness that I wouldn't trade for anything.
However, I must be honest with you: it has been a while since I was able to visit these places. My car is currently not in condition to hit the road, and although I deeply miss the salt air and the scent of pine, this situation has taught me a valuable lesson: to fully enjoy what I have at hand.
Ahora, mis tardes perfectas han migrado a la comodidad de mi sala. Me he convertido en una experta de los maratones de películas y series en Netflix, sumergiéndome en historias que me transportan a otros mundos sin moverme de casa.
Mi compañía ideal para estos momentos es un buen cuenco de palomitas de maíz recién hechas y un gran vaso de limonada frappé, bien fría. He descubierto que la paz no siempre es un destino lejano; a veces, es simplemente saber crear un momento especial en nuestro propio hogar.
Now, my perfect afternoons have migrated to the comfort of my living room. I love binge-watching movies and series on Netflix, immersing myself in stories that transport me to other worlds without even leaving my home.
My ideal company for these moments is a good bowl of freshly made popcorn and a large, ice-cold glass of frozen lemonade. I have discovered that peace is not always a distant destination; sometimes, it is simply knowing how to create a special moment in our own home.
2️⃣¿Café o té?
2️⃣ Coffee or tea?

Aunque disfruto mucho de las infusiones como el té de menta, de arándanos, de frutos rojos, mi corazón pertenece indiscutiblemente al café. Tengo un ritual sagrado en mis mañanas que define el resto de mi día: disfrutar de esa primera taza de café humeante en la comodidad de mi hogar, con unas galletas.
Necesito inhalar su aroma profundo antes del primer sorbo; es una esencia que me despierta el alma. Me gusta tomarlo con calma, a pequeños sorbos, simplemente estando presente en ese momento de quietud. Siento que "no soy persona" hasta que el café llega a mi sistema. Y es la única taza que tomo en el día.
Although I really enjoy herbal infusions like mint, blueberry, red fruits, and especially Hibiscus tea, my heart indisputably belongs to coffee. I have a sacred ritual in my mornings that defines the rest of my day: enjoying that first cup of steaming coffee in the comfort of my home, with some cookies.
I need to inhale its deep aroma before the first sip; it is an essence that awakens my soul. I like to drink it slowly, in small sips, simply being present in that moment of stillness. I feel like I'm "not a person" until the coffee reaches my system. And it is the only cup I drink during the day.
Mi relación con el café es una de amor y rebeldía. Debido a una hernia hiatal, los médicos me lo prohibieron estrictamente. Logré dejar muchas cosas, pero el café es mi límite; es lo único que no he podido, ni querido, abandonar.
Es mi pequeño placer, mi combustible diario y mi momento de presencia absoluta. Lo preparo negro, fuerte y muy caliente para apreciar su pureza. Cada mañana, ese café es un recordatorio de que algunas tradiciones personales son esenciales para mantenernos conectados con nosotros mismos.
My relationship with coffee is one of love and rebellion. Due to a hiatal hernia, doctors strictly forbade it. I managed to give up many things, but coffee is where I draw the line; it is the only thing I haven't been able to, or wanted to, let go of.
It is my small pleasure, my daily fuel, and my moment of absolute presence. I prepare it black, strong, and very hot to appreciate its purity. Every morning, that coffee is a reminder that some personal traditions are essential to keep us connected to ourselves.
Así son mis dos versiones de una tarde perfecta: una que vive en mis recuerdos y anhelos, entre el mar y la montaña, y otra que disfruto hoy desde la comodidad de mi sala.
Al final, lo que hace que estos momentos sean especiales es el silencio, una buena historia en la pantalla y esos pequeños detalles, como mis palomitas y mi limonada bien fría, que me permiten desconectar y disfrutar plenamente de mi hogar.
These are my two versions of a perfect afternoon: one that lives in my memories and longings, between the sea and the mountains, and another that I enjoy today from the comfort of my living room.
In the end, what makes these moments special is the silence, a good story on the screen, and those small details, like my popcorn and my ice-cold lemonade, that allow me to disconnect and fully enjoy being at home.
