The Original Guatemalan Globes
Happy Mother’s Day to an amazing woman. I miss you, but we have kicked a$& together in this life in a way that reminds me of a vibrant bloom on a cactus, beautiful, but tough. You are with me everyday even though you’ve been gone 32 years from metastatic breast cancer (MBC) to the bones. …
Mother’s Day Musings, Childless Mothers
Honoring women today who have lost a child or children in anyway. Society makes it hard to be childless as we don’t travel the same path as other women.

I Deserve A Seat Too
I have found out from Mother Earth that Motherhood is not lost due to cancers. I have been waiting for the deep acceptance of this feeling so that the horrible pain inside the gut of my spirit would be healed. I’ve been telling myself this almost every day to get through each day emotionally for …
FOR – GIVE – NESS
Forgiveness | painting strokes back and forth over the names inside the hearts reminds me that forgiveness takes time for me; otherwise I don’t fully heal. It’s like the grieving process, it’s a forgiveness process. 🙏🏽. I am not an instant forgiver when I’ve been deeply hurt. To be authentic means to fully forgive.
The Crane and the Seed
