Embrace Uncertainty
Elanie caught her reflection in the ornate mirror and immediately looked away. It seemed wherever she turned, she could see herself, even in the mirror fixed to the wooden canopy above the bed. It was disconcerting and she tried to focus on the furniture and décor. The Frida Kahlo Museum was beautiful, though simple, colorful and bright like much of her artwork. Lush plants in the small courtyard, offered life to a house that was now cold, invaded by strangers who longed to hear the whispers of the artists who had once resided within.

Dios mío, ¿qué haré ahora? What am I going to do? Luna turned and looked up into his dark glistening eyes and felt her heart constrict. In had taken 5 years to get him to crack a grin and now 12 to spring a tear. Her own face was streaked with sweat, grime and sadness. They had fought the good fight, but the dream was done. No amount of repositioning of tables, creation of covered, heated outdoor spaces, mountains of biodegradable eco-friendly to-go packaging could bring back the comradery, compañerismo, that had patrons once tagging the Bean Pub as the best Coffee Bar in the Northwest. They tried it all, yet the bills finally outweighed the efforts. One by one, she had looked into the eyes of her best friends, her family, and told them their livelihood was dissolving into fear and uncertainty.
