Sending loving energy out into our world!

Dia de los Reyes

Tradition

Christmas Rose

Baked with love..

The children made their annual Rosca de Reyes, Three Kings Bread, for Epiphany; the day tradition says that Gaspar, Balthasar, and Melchior arrive at the stable. A Mexican friend says ours tastes just like her abuelo used to make..

Every year we deliver wrapped slices to the doors of friends; the lucky child who finds the baby figure baked into their cake is hostess to a tamale party on Candlemas, inviting all who ate the Rosca ~ our friends from Spain tell us that he who finds the baby has good luck all year, double if they ate the Grapes on New Years day! But my favorite is that he who finds the baby is made Godfather (or, Godmother I presume) to the baby Jesus in the family creche for that year.

Every year our children want to add more babies..

this year there are 17!

the children were 5 & 7 when they did these sketches of the Magi


This ornament still blesses our Christmas tree :-)

Lady in Red / Lady in Blue

a secret wish,

a child's enduring hope for all things good,


beauty,

a season of love,

a moment of rest,

this week we have given and shared and filled our hearts with joy,
may 2012 be as hopeful, as promising, and
filled with abundance in every sense of the word,

for us all ..


welcome 2012!



lady in red / lady in blue ..

an old and ancient archetype,
a new sketch,
borrowed crayons,
red then blue interpretation..


artist; creation's bride


welcome 2012!

A Virgin a Day: Day 12

December 12, 2011

Fiesta de La Virgen de Guadalupe

A Virgin a Day: Day 12

Our Lady of Perpetual Help written by C Moore age 11

and so we come full circle.. this icon is similar to but different from my Lupita Icon posted on Day 5. this is Our Lady of Perpetual Help and is
my daughters rendition in paint and pencil crayon.

On occasion we recognize, in the encounters of our life,
a kindred soul and we are blessed.

I have been blessed


Thank you.

Thank you.




A Virgin a Day




a huge thank you to Rebecca for her invitation to this pilgrimage where we have met, spoken of our hearts, sung loud our stories,
and step out forever changed xxxx

We can all be found here with Mary!
