The Quiet Before the Light

What 15 Days of Silence Built 
Date: January 1, 2026

 It has been 15 days since I last wrote here. In the digital world, two weeks of silence can feel like an eternity. But in the real world—the world of creation, spirit, and foundation-building—silence is necessary. It is the soil in which the seed grows.

I didn't step away because I had nothing to say. I stepped away because I had everything to build.

Looking Back: The December Sprint December wasn't just about closing out 2025; it was about laying the groundwork for the next half-century of my life. While the blog was quiet, the creative engine was roaring. Here is what we accomplished in the shadows:

  • The Birth of "Awakening Light" (Luz Despierta): We moved from concept to reality. The vision for the app is clear, the domain is secured, and the soul of the project is ready to serve.

  • Honoring Lineage: I poured my heart into music, creating lyrics for "La Silla VacĂ­a"—a Mariachi tribute to the roots that ground me. Creativity is nothing without connection to where we came from.

  • Defining the Brand: Truth to Follow is no longer just a blog; it is becoming a beacon.

The Vision: The Road to January 18th. Now, we stand at the threshold of 2026. For many, January 1st is the start line. For me, it is the final stretch of preparation.

My eyes are fixed on January 18th.

On that day, I turn 50. But this isn't just a birthday; it is a launch day. It is the debut of a project that represents survival, sovereignty, and the wisdom gathered over five decades.

What to Expect Next Over the coming days, the silence will break. I will be sharing behind-the-scenes looks at the new app, insights on the philosophy of "Awakening Light," and the raw truth of what it takes to reinvent oneself at this milestone.

Thank you for waiting in the quiet with me. The light is coming.

Happy New Year.
