It is a day when it seems like every step forwards you take you end up taking two steps back as you strive to achieve progress in getting your plans or goals completed today. Your patience feels depleted at all these setbacks confronting you. Truth be told with ongoing persistence and a dash of creativity in making necessary changes as you go along with your plans or goals you will end the day with success.

These pieces entitled “Lotería Card No. 1” & “Lotería Card No. 2” are centered around images of commerce and supporting small businesses. These particular game cards depicted all that’s available at the swap mall & food court — from clothing and presents to delicious food options like pho, dumplings, tacos & pasteles
