Excited for a full weekend of activities to celebrate my birthday! 🥳
Grateful to be doing what brings me the most joy - music and playing my violin 💗🎻
But also spending time with dear friends, taking much-needed rest and reflecting upon de immense gratitude I feel for another year of (mostly!) good health 🙏

Congratulations to @yalilguerra and the Guerra String Orchestra for an amazing concert debut! 🎶🎉🎻
It was an honor to be invited to play under his baton alongside such talented musician colleagues! 🙏
The program featured some of Yalil’s own compositions and one piece by his mentor Aurelio de la Vega - showing a clip of his music.
Wishing for many more concerts like this in the future! ⭐️

#throwback to my visit to Ilha Do Mel in Paraná, Brazil! 🏝️🇧🇷💗 #honeyisland
This beautiful island was created as a sustainable and protected area where you won’t find cars or paved roads (even traction animals!), only trails that lead to stunning viewpoints, deserted beaches and rich wildlife 🦜
I feel grateful to have experienced such a unique destination 🤩
Let’s celebrate Earth Day by supporting responsable tourism and protect our planet for future generations to come! 🌎

Experiencing the beautiful landscape of the super bloom at the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve! 🤩🌸
The fields of bright orange poppies and yellow wildflowers were absolutely breathtaking.
I made a little friend 🐶 that reminded me of my sweet doggie 🥲 She would have loved this place!
If you are in Southern California, don’t miss out on this natural wonder! 💗

Last weekend I had an incredible experience playing with @stewart_copeland as part of the Police Deranged Orchestra! 🎻🥳
The arrangements of the songs were really captivating, and the way Mr. Copeland engaged with the audience was full of energy. It was super fun! 😎
It was great to see some fellow musicians whom I hadn’t played with since before the pandemic.
Here’s a short clip from “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” 🤩

Spring is here!!! 🌼🌿💗
I never thought I would say this but I’m really looking forward to the warm season - I usually prefer autumn and winter 🤷🏻‍♀️🙃
But this year, there are a few big projects happening in the summer and I’m excited about them! 🥳

The prompt was “woman violinist, Remedios Varo style” and this came up 🎻✨
Many artists are suspicious of AI creating art. They say they will lose jobs.
But I believe it could be a great tool for any creator. Once you know how to use it, it can open so many possibilities.
Time will tell… 🔮

Lately, my practice time is mostly during the evenings 🌝🎻
And as a morning person, it’s a struggle! 😅
I am way more focused during the mornings and I enjoy it more, but don’t get me wrong, I love playing at night too! Although sometimes, specially during the week, I am already tired by then… 🤷🏻‍♀️
Anyway, this is what my schedule is right now. There’s other stuff during the mornings. It’s not bad, though. I just wish I could get more practice in 🤓

I bought this book a few years back and had completely forgotten about it until a couple of months ago 🤓🎻 Very helpful instructions on maintaining a great posture and playing with the utmost ease and relaxation.
I’m familiar with some of the references written in there like The Alexander Technique but definitely reading some information for the first time.
Never stop learning! 📚🎶

Pink love! 💗🤩🎻
I’ve been wanting to color my hair pink - like my violin case - for a long time. Finally, it has happened and I love it! 🥳
The dye is not permanent so it will fade within the next weeks/months. I am enjoying it, while it lasts…

Goodbye 2022! Welcome 2023! 🥳🍾🎊
Reflecting on this past year:
While it looked promising, it started in a bad place… simply put 🤷🏻‍♀️
I was too emotional, confused and tired.
But I’ve always been very healthily involved with my daily routine and, as mundane as it may sound, it kept me afloat.
You know, for me, it’s always been about the little things ✨
Don’t underestimate the power of a good night sleep, nourishing food, long quiet walks and journaling.
Also doing a little of what you are passionate about to help you keep you in the creative flow 🎶
That was it, that was my 2022 🙏
There were other amazing things like playing a lot 🎻 Sharing my music from my project @olivamusic 🐌 Working hard at my day job and keep learning about myself and life in general ❤️
I look forward to 2023 🤩 with more music, plenty of health, not so painful learning experiences and lots of love.
Happy new year, everyone! 🎉🎈🕰

Last weekend, I had the honor of playing with such a beautiful crew of musicians, including these super talented “panas” venezolanos as part of Vida Church’s Christmas services 🎄🎻🎶
Thank you @santospalazzi and @eurozambrano for the invitation and hope to play with you again very soon! 🙏
Happy Winter solstice everyone! ❄️☃️
And if you are in the Southern Hemisphere, welcome Summer! ☀️

Today, would have been the birthday of my little one 🐶💕
She crossed the rainbow bridge a few months ago. I miss her every day. She was my little companion. Minha cadelinha! 🥲
I called her “mi rabito de nube” after Silvio Rodriguez’s song. Her presence soothed my sorrows in times of sadness and enhanced my happiness in moments of joy.
I held her in my arms for the first time when she was 2 weeks old 😍 and I rubbed her little head until her last breath…
Hope you have a sweet birthday in doggies paradise, my furry baby! 🌈
