Setting the Mood
Soulful Sunday If you have ever been to our house or to Guatemala for that matter, you know we Guatemalans like candles. And as a Guatemalan-American, I like setting a table at night with low light and the sparkle of mood setting candles. I love the way they drip, drip and drip. The sloppier the […]
Death Becomes Us
Sometimes Death Becomes Us “What’s that,” I said at dusk last night ? “I don’t hear anything,” he said. “That thump,” I said! “I didn’t hear it,” he said. “I think it was a bird,” I said. “I went and checked all the windows and sliders. “I doubt it,” he said. My gut knew different. […]
Work and Pliability
Feeling Better Friday. I work to stay healthy. I let go to remain pliable. I fight body, emotional and mental battles every day to try and stay strong. Does it always work? No, of course not, but more so than not, the balance always comes back around. You can’t partially participate or show-up and expect […]
I Am Many Things
I am the owl. I am the tree. I am the peach. I am the lion. I am the seeded root. I am the sit-upon. I am the fire corsette. I am the yellow bird. I am the fire goddess. I am arms wide open. I am Mother Earth. I am the Guatemalan Globes. 4-12-21

Soulful Sunday Moon
Sunday night’s full moon. Bright, powerful, moody, creative and sensitive speaking to me. I tell it I’m grateful. Help me to feel the light of the silvery moon. Help me to see the light of the silvery moon. Help me to be the light of the silvery moon. Miriam
My feet. My cane. The floor.
They assist me to my destination, during COVID that’s been mainly to the doctor. They carry my tangled body step by step. They express my creative expression. They are the patterns and mandalas we see in every day life. They are/also carry my/their own patterns of art.
Express Yourself Daily and Simply…
A daily personal practice of any kind for self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. For example, my husband is always coming home with something for me that is colorful and practical. He recently brought me home a bag of “cutie” oranges. But when I saw them in the bag / the orange, the color, the […]
On the Shoulders of Giants
I have stood on the shoulders of giants at so many times throughout “My Life.” From the moment I was born the first giant was my tiny, faith-filled, Latina mother and, until I was 26, I stood on her shoulders and she continues today to be the “wind beneath my wings.” In the last 11 […]
