You may know that Jackson Sanchez, former principal cellist with the Cuenca Symphony collapsed due to sepsis. Now with physical and speech therapy he is recovering slowly but surely. His roommate, a true angel, cares for him 24/7, without pay, including cooking all his food. Jackson is awaiting disability insurance approval and funds for living expenses are scarce. He is hoping some generous soul could donate a microwave in good working condition to help lighten the load of his caregiver.

Stop by to try and buy GringoPost’s Best homemade Pickles for 2026. I will have Kosher dillpickles, pickled beets, bread and butter pickles and a new spicy hot dill pickle that for those of you who like a bit of zip; the reviews have been great. Of course my fabulous relish will be available there also. My Rotel can be special ordered and delivered via Moto to your home or office.

If you have any empty jars please bring them with you so it will keep my costs down. I also take Deuna with Pichincha so I hope to see a lot of my old, current and new customers there. Lots of other vendors you know and love will be there too. If you want to order ahead just send me an email at the email below or WhatsApp me if you have that info.

Hi, I have looked in quite a few tiendas around town. So I thought I’d reach out. I am looking for:

• Ox Bile Supplements (bilis de buey)… it helps with the digestion of fats

• Beef Jerky (Homemade/clean protein with no chemicals, no sugar, just natural / stevia or honey OK)

• Electrolytes (preferably single packets / clean, no chemicals, no sugars… stevia is OK)

If you happen to know where I can get any of these 3 items, I’d greatly appreciate your help!

My dear friend, Mercedes Ortiz, needs housework. Are you in need of a first-rate house cleaner who will make your place shine from top to bottom? She will do your household chores, cook your meals, laundry, walk the dogs, water your plants, gardening, run your errands, house sit while you travel or visit family in the US…you name it.

Mercedes is competent, conscientious, honest, humble, and trustworthy. She will assist you in any way she can with a beautiful smile. She was my dear friend Laura Inks Bodine’s house cleaner for 12 years until Laura moved out of the country. I have known Mercedes during those 12 years and have seen the amazing work she did for Laura.

Thank you!

What are you waiting for to start your physical transformation?

The perfect moment doesn’t exist.

• It’s not Monday.

• It’s not next month.

• It’s not when you “have more time.”

• It’s today.

Your body can change. Your mind can be strengthened. Your discipline can be built.

But nothing will happen if you keep waiting. Every day you choose to postpone is one day further from the person you want to be.

You don’t need motivation… you need determination.

I’m here to guide you, challenge you, and support you throughout the process. But you take the first step.

• Train.

• Improve Your habits.

• Build Your best self.

Write to me and let’s get started.
