the studio is FULL...of memories and stories...lives connected now, ties that bind and are released, sweet and warm
I was overwhelmed and touched to my core...with a package of delight, that will help send these sweet souls, that fill this space...on their way
Copal from Oaxaca, aromatic resins used by the cultures of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica as ceremonially burned, copal incense from San Miguel...smudge sticks of lavender, white sage and rosemary, from a special garden...pine cone flowerettes! and rooster love.
rich beyond measure
my soul FILLED to the brim
Art of Remembrance
lovely art...where are they going, dear Stephanie?

dearest,
thank you for allowing me to extend my offerings to bless and honor the work of your heart and hands.
may all the love continue to awaken our deepest gratitude for all those who have come before us. may we rise like the sweet fragrance of copal to lift each other up always towards the light. may we in our remembering continue to live lives that manifest the highest and best good for all.
i am preparing to celebrate each sunday in oct. with The Art of Remembering, the dearest meme of the year at recuerda mi corazon, i hope everyone will share their remembrances there too. xo
