yesterday when i was making my way to vote and gather things for my dia de los muertos bike altar, i made a stop to a local shop to buy sage and candles. the owner and i got to talking about my altar that led to my family history: a curandera grandmother and native Chumash Indian great grandmother. she told me at the end of our conversation that i had something great in me that i was blessed with, she felt it. i’m not a spiritual or religious person but i am superstitious as a result in growing up in a catholic family, and when i saw this photo posted i noticed a shadow in the shape of a heart above the basket. i thought maybe it’s just the road but maybe this is my grandmother’s way of visiting me? i don’t know but perhaps the shop lady is saying the truth, maybe there is something with me.
i have a lot of pictures i want to share from the dia de los muertos procession but those will come later.
yes it is totally your grandmother!! such an awesome experience and i know i don't know you very well but yes you are a wonderful and beautiful person!
are we still on for this sunday? can't wait to check out the cool bike gear! and maybe make some relationships with some potential venders!
