Casa Teóco

Thresholds Series no. 5 | A home in the mountains of Jalisco, Mexico

This week’s paid subscription newsletter hits very close to home—because it was my home. If you’ve been here for awhile then you know about that house in the mountains and all it has come to mean to me. On the other side of separation with my partner, I revisit it and discover what it means to me. You can unlock this story and the archives for just $5 a month or $50 a year and support a stay-at-home mama in writing with courage, vulnerability and honesty.

IN THE FIRST FLOOR BEDROOM, where the bright pink ojo hangs and the walls were once painted teal, my daughter was conceived.

It was in this home in the pine forest of Jalisco, where the walls heaved as I wrestled with doubts, where I asked myself if I was in the right place, in the right lifestyle, with the right person.
