It’s all personal
I'm Kim and I have a few blogs (and perhaps an issue with over sharing, and too much time on my hands). My other two projects are www.fiftyfiftyvision.com and www.thisisplanbe.com. I also tweet at https://twitter.com/TheKimTackett and instagram at http://instagram.com/kimtackett. But here, it's all personal. I show up once a week, sometimes less, never more.

Donde esta Maria y Juana?
Only halfway through the day. It’s siesta time and I might just take advantage of it. This morning Matilde had arranged some visits to weavers, here in town and in nearby Zinacantin. We stopped first to see her friend Margarita. … Continue reading
Vacation Day
It’s Saturday evening now and I am in San Cristobal. This is my street. Our hotel is beautful, the weather is perfect and my only wish is that I had my family here with me. Each one of them would … Continue reading
Combination plate of a day
I’m writing from the Mexico City airport on Saturday morning, but will post this from San Cristobal later today. The last two days have been one big combination plate of women and historic buildings and of course, food. Backing up … Continue reading
October 2 in Mexico
We’ve had a quiet day today. Originally we were to travel to Cuernavaca to see a training of the trainers. However, that was rescheduled for next week, so we spent the morning in the Alcance office interviewing two Service Providers, … Continue reading
Tengo la camisetta puesta
The translation: this job fits me like the most perfect t shirt. And at times, it does! Eden and I arrived in Mexico City last night. It’s an easy transition, so easy it doesn’t even seem fair. The flight was … Continue reading
