Living in Mexico and Learning to Speak Spanish: Tales & How-to Tips

The purpose of this blog is to provide information about Mexico -- mostly through my husband's and my day-to-day experiences of living in Mexico, specifically in San Juan Cosala, Jalisco, by Lake Chapala near Ajijic. I write for people who might live or retire in Mexico, for expats or travelers currently in Mexico, and for Mexicans. I write about how to learn to speak Spanish, why it's important, and how to get started. For more, visit my website www.mexico-with-heart.com as well! -- Rosana Hart

Mayan Calendar article

You may have heard something about the prophecies for 2012, coming from the Mayan and other calendars. According to what you read, it will be the end of the world or a transformation. I just read a fascinating article by a Guatemalan anthropologist at

http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/barrios.shtml

in which he explains the authentic Mayan point of view, which is that it can be a time of transformation. I found it fascinating. Considering that the calendar predicted Cortes' coming to the day, I do pay some attention! I found the comments at the end of the article, about how to live in a more harmonious way, to be a good reminder. Mastering the breath is mentioned and coincidentally I have been working a lot with my breath lately, ever since a cardiologist in Ajijic told me my heart is great but my breath is not!

    Hola Rosana,
    Are you back yet?
    This article about the Mayan Calendar was most illuminating!! I've been wondering about these prophecies since I first heard about them, and it was so good to have it clarified by someone who knows. Somehow I feel there is some connection with the contents of this article and why I moved to mexico and why I feel so at peace here. This is about the really big, big picture! :)
    Now that I am here, this page is coming up in espanol. Que bueno!
    Hope to see you soon,
    -micki
