Timing is EVERYTHING here, too!! Massive #PalmFrond fell from the tallest Palm Tree. 🌴 Days after Luis, the Gardener, chopped it all up, another spear fell where we normally have our chairs. 😳😳 Holy Bat Shit! #MeridaMágico #CCnDoc

Homemade #LentilBurgers to the rescue. It’s hard to get healthy food in Mexico, so we made our own Lentil Burgers with Pineapple and Sweet Potatoes. They were fantastic! #MeridaMágico #BadassEating #BadAssDiet 🎶Music by #CCnDocMusic 🎶

Everywhere we turn there is more #entertainment to found in #Merida. We caught the #MilitaryBand brining joy to the locals with a free show in Parque La Plancha. The dicotomy of thought here…if only…🇺🇸. #MeridaMágico #CCnDoc

Holy Batmobile. How does your ride or #vehicle define you? We have the full spectrum; from #LuxurySportsCars to “What the ?*?” for you to consider. #MeridaMágico 🎶Music by #CCnDocMusic 🎶

Sooo many talented people in #Merida making a buck performing on the streets. Tonight we saw #StreetDancers! #MeridaMágico #CCnDoc

Today is the #InternationalDayOfWomen and in #Merida, it is as much protest as it is a celebration of #PoderDeMujer! 💪🏻NEVER have we seen such camaraderie and community among women. Thousands came to support one another and victims by marching and speaking out against #Femicide and other violence against women in the country. Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Trafficking… #WomenSupportingWomen. What a concept! 💜🤍💚 #MeridaMagico 🇲🇽

his young buck is learning how to make a buck early, and dad’s a good teacher. Very talented family. #FreeEntertainment #MeridaMágico #CCnDoc

We asked Alexa to do the #Laundry and she didn’t reply. Eventually we had to do it ourselves. I guess if you want something done, do it yourself. #MeridaMágico 🎶Music by #CCnDocMusic 🎶

This random act of kindness restored our hope in humanity and brought tears of joy to our hearts. It occurred at CC’s new favorite Organic Coffee shop run by three sisters: @CaféCafico. #MeridaMágico 🎶Music by #CCnDocMusic 🎶 #MexicanCoffee #ActsOfKindness #OrganicCoffee

Coffee in Mexico is amazing, but not without good not half and half (not available here). The solution? Cafe Latte! CC found the best local Organic Coffee shop run by three sisters: @CaféCafico. I’m normally not a coffee drinker, but must admit, it was pretty darn good. And today, magic occurred at the coffee shop that brought tears of joy to our hearts. We’ll post about that tomorrow. #MeridaMágico 🎶Music by #CCnDocMusic 🎶 #MexicanCoffee #ActsOfKindness #OrganicCoffee

The #SlowMarket on Saturday in Merida is one of our favorites. Friendly locals, many ex-pats, and ALL organic. We go here to meet up with an old friend, for homemade #Kombucha and the best #CinnamonRolls EVER! #MeridaMágico 🎶Music by #CCnDocMusic 🎶

I didn’t fight like hell to survive stage 3b rectal cancer to sit on the sidelines of my life and watch it be torn down without a fight. To be dismissed, marginalized, disparaged, disregarded and discounted… You may have noticed I took a break from posting My Badass Life Videos for a minute… I (like many) have been exhausted just trying to process the firehose of news that impacts our lives on a daily basis. (Never ask if it can get worse). Both as a cancer survivor, as women and as LGBTQ+ people (google “how to legally eradicate certain populations”). Spending all of your time on “high alert” is certainly not good for the body and soul. But sadly, that is the mindset we have been forced into this last year+. The fact that at this stage of our lives - post covid, cancer, into retirement and now the “regime” - that we have to create NEW (and what may be extreme) contingency and backup plans for health, rights, financial security and our literal safety is just too much to process some days. The fact that so many are sitting idly and blindly by - even people we know and love - makes it that much harder. Writing #ProtestSongs helps. But I also see the toll it’s taking on us, my fellow cancer survivors, our immigrant friends (one is hiding in her apartment in MN as we speak), friends of color, and our LGBTQ+ family. And for all you see on the news (or not), So MUCH more is happening under the radar and behind the scenes that most “normies” will never hear about, let alone seek to understand. So many things are slipping away right under people’s noses. It’s a tough thing to grapple with - the apparent lack of national empathy, compassion and basic human decency is at a level only imagined in dystopian novels before now. Human rights watch lists are sounding alarms all over the world. Yet, despite it all, I’m not sure how, but just like during cancer treatment, I remain hopeful: That more people will start to open their eyes, remove heads from the sand and speak up, take a stand and at the very least call their local, state and federal representatives to make themselves heard. That hate, self-righteousness, and selfishness, as well as prejudice and ignorance are not what most people are. That evil cannot win. That somehow we will each find the hero within ourselves, enough to do our part to stop the madness. In the meantime, we strategize, outwit, outplay, outlast.

Unusual city sighting of a #GrayHawk hanging out by our pool in #Mexico! Wow! #MeridaMagico #Falcon #Hawk

🎶NEW SONG!🎶 New Year New You 🎶 Thus, the year of the fire🔥FIRE HORSE 🐎 has begun! This is not just any year of the horse, it’s the amped up version. Passions are ignited. It’s a time for bold actions, taking risks, and navigating significant personal or global transformations.The combination of the horse and the fire element - the first time in 60 years they have come together - creates a dynamic, sometimes chaotic, atmosphere that demands decisiveness. It is considered both powerful and demanding, often calling for careful, wise leadership to balance its intense, restless energy. P.S. Doc is year of the 🐎 Look out! #NewYearNewYou #CCnDocMusic #LunarNewYear #ChineseNewYear #YearOfTheFireHorse #YearOfTheHorse #FireEnergy #LiveBold Lyrics, Music and Video Production by CCnDoc | ©2025-2026 TWO NEW ALBUMS COMING SOON!

#MarketLucasDeGalvez is the largest market in Merida and a great source of sensory overload. With over 2,000 vendors and spanning just under 500,000 sq ft (about 10 football fields). It is an experience unto its self. #MeridaMágico 🎶Music by #CCnDocMusic 🎶

Love is a #Drag! Seriously, we love a #DragQueen who is willing to put on the make-up and provide fun, safe, entertainment for all. They are loving beings with magical talents. Some are even professional #Broadway singers! #MeridaMágico #CCnDoc

Something about his voice was very captivating. Enjoy 90 seconds of #FreeEntertainment like we did. Of course, we were fortunate to enjoy his whole show in #ParqueLucia. Lovely, just lovely. #MeridaFiesta2026 #MeridaMágico #CCnDoc

The last night of #MeridaFest2026, celebrating 484 years as a city, a #CubanBand provided free #entertainment for all who love to dance! #MeridaMágico #CCnDoc
