Junta de Embarra
Wednesday, 05 May 2010 14:37

A Junta de Embarra is an example of the way in which many Panamanian communities functioned in the past. Juntas (work gatherings) still happen in some towns, especially in provinces like Los Santos and Herrera. When a family needed to prepare the land for sowing, to build a home, or to do some other job that required considerable manpower, they would invite other townspeople to come and spend the day working. Food and drinks (when appropriate) were provided by the owners of the junta. Men provided labor for the task.

ARIES
aries2.jpgYou need a lot of personal freedom, especially at work. It helps to focus on networking as much as possible. If you can book in meetings and power lunches outside of work, you’ll be in a fresher head space. Move your office furniture around, mix things up a bit.  It is very important that you arrive on time however, and that you pay attention to details. This is especially true if you are a manager. If you keep on changing your mind about priorities, your team will run ragged without accomplishing much at all. Professionally, you are in the lead; however, it’s better to review your strategy than move forward. Mercury is still in retrograde and that could mess up your game plan. By the end of the week, you discover the fine art of pubic speaking. Share your thoughts with the rest of us; we need a little bit of inspiration. Love in the office heats up, and for you, it offers potential for advancement, this love could be a good friendship though. Keep the fires burning, by reinforcing a positive connection.

Sora

Not everyone wants to live at the beach; some people are seeking a cool, tranquil Panama location in the mountains. If you don't know Panama, you might think that is an impossibility; most people know about the beautiful tropical weather in Panama, filling the beaches with suntanned tourists. The fact is that the "other" Panama weather is really cool; once you reach the dormant volcanic chain that forms the spine of the country, the climate changes. If you are looking for a mountain real estate in Panama, the place to look is the village of Sora.

The "other" Panama Weather.

Newsflash

"I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker. "

~ Helen Keller

 

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."
~ Groucho Marx

 

"Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will."
