I rarely speak about this side of the journey, but today I feel the need to be honest -- not to attack anyone, but to acknowledge what this experience has taught me.
When I started building Casa Arcoiris, I didn’t just hire a professional. I chose to give an opportunity to someone I considered family. I believed in second chances, in helping someone grow, in trusting potential over credentials. I told myself that compassion and support would build loyalty and care in return.
I invested more than money. I invested trust.
Looking back, I now understand that trust without boundaries is not kindness -- it is risk. Family ties do not automatically create professionalism. Good intentions do not replace skill, discipline, or accountability.
I also learned that “cheap” does not always mean saving. Sometimes it costs more in stress, delays, and heartache. And sometimes the real loss is not financial -- it is emotional. It is the disappointment of realizing that the person you believed in did not value your faith in them the same way.
This is not a post about anger. It is about growth.
I am learning to balance compassion with standards, generosity with structure, and family love with clear limits. Helping someone should never mean sacrificing your peace or accepting less than what was agreed.
Casa Arcoiris is teaching me many things. This is one of the hardest lessons -- but also one of the most important.
