hello and thank you for reading this short photo postcard.
instead of asking if anyone reads blogs anymore, I’d like to thank you for landing here.
we are here, the present, this july, this 2019 y this blog should turn 11, same age as my sweet kitty cat.

instead it feels like I have gone through a few life changes and yet navigated a sea of serenity whether it was necessary for mental health survival or absolutely needed to stay afloat. I decided to leave my job a bit ago, a privilege to do so, and take a step to work towards a change that took me many years of planning for it. i am fortunate to have not done it alone, professional networks, talented friends with photography skills, career advice, sincere kindness, words of encouragement or a quick message reply to say hi, or not, meant the world. i let myself walk through some unknowns, reconnect with myself and with my dear friends, loved ones  – and just recently found myself landing a new position, very pleasant, local, safe, inclusive new working environment surrounded by young folk and coffee. no more long commutes, i am so grateful.

❤︎
love, meli

I have zero experience with bike share programs, and I have yet to use the service(s). Bay Area Bike Share ceased to exist before I personally tried it out.
There’s a few people that I know that are on board, and some are against such services.

I found this article informative and I am just learning about the program’s efforts to its better accessibility.

This week, the company announced that it had hit 500 members in the “Bike Share For All” initiative, which offers low-income residents in the Bay Area a full year of bike rentals for only $5. After one year, the rate increases to $5 per month, roughly one-third of the cost of normal membership.

hola, just a quick update ➸ I was not in the 5 finalist (I think I placed 9th of 10) for the SFMuniArt contest. well, it is also september, the ninth month, perhaps that means something. i dunno.

i am just very happy to have participated with such cool body of local art work.
it has also motivated me to continue exploring a more illustration/sketch path, and or to apply it into my artistic career, which I already seem to do a bit personally.

Vote for #SFMuniArt by 8/28! Art submission by: Meli Burgueno, one of 10 finalists. https://t.co/pUoFPeIkiL pic.twitter.com/a6KOAqhb2p
