Just checking in to let you know that I am taking the week off. My sweet grandma passed away Friday, quite unexpectedly, and I am spending some time in Dallas with my Mom’s side of the family.
What a whirlwind of emotions. What an intense reminder of the fragility and brevity of this crazy, beautiful life.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving, hug your loved ones extra tight and listen to their stories. They are good as gold and likely aching to be told.
I miss you already, Mema. We love you so very much.

Hi. I LOVE your blog. I just found you for the first time tonight from just clicking off on a tangent, and yay, I like it here. I like everything about your design and overall vibe, your family is beautiful, and I love that you’re in Mexico, and al about natural simple living, so good. Well, I like this post because I understand how it feels to lose a grandmother on your mother’s side. I was very close with mine, and she passed away a few years ago in April, and I miss her still all the time. I keep her old bottle of perfume and smell it once in a while for a ‘hug’. Anyway, I am so curious about why your 17 year old daughter moved away. I saw the post about her ‘Homecoming” for the holidays… the reason I am so curious is because 17 was such an intense year of my life. I feel like maybe you have some insight from what you wrote as a parent that might help me piece together what my mother may have felt at times with me. If you have the link to that post could I read it…? Also, I am interested in Sponsorship for my eCourse/Online Retreat, probably for August or September or both! Hope to connect. Much love to you!
