Hallowalimuertos, Day 2: Turns Out We are also Celebrating Carey Day

November 1, 2024

Hallowalimuertos, it turns out, is the gift that keeps on giving. For it turns that today, November 1, Cary, NC–the official founding site of Hallowalimuertoes–is not only celebrating All Saints Day and the start of Diwali (there is a large population of Asian Indians in Cary and its adjoining town, Morrisville), but also “Carey Day.” … More Hallowalimuertos, Day 2: Turns Out We are also Celebrating Carey Day

Hallowalimuertos Day 1, Food

October 31, 2024

So, for my Halloween dinner, I made Diablo Soup with Zombie Eyeballs. The soup is actually a vegan vegetable soup, which used up most of my final summer vegetables from my beloved Cary Downtown Farmers Market. However, I think a couple of the peppers I thought were tiny luncheon-style bell peppers were actually some variety … More Hallowalimuertos Day 1, Food

Hallowalimuertos Day 1, Outfit

October 31, 2024

So today being Halloween, I wore my Halloween outfit for the year. Earlier this month, some friends and I throw a fundraising party for our spiritual center with the theme of The Summer of 68 (technically, it was 67 but that didn’t rhyme with our marketing). I found this tie-dyed dressed at my beloved thrift … More Hallowalimuertos Day 1, Outfit

Hallowalimuertos Day 1, Altar

October 31, 2024

So here is the great community Hallowalimuertos altar as of Day 1. So it’s a little chaotic, but contains lots of great elements. Honestly, I’m not really the best at laying things out, so maybe someone will drop by and help me make it a bit more orderly? attractive? I’m open to feedback. But energetically, … More Hallowalimuertos Day 1, Altar

Celebrate Hallowalimuertos With Me

October 30, 2024

I am not a big believer in coincidence, but I’m a firm convert to synchronicity. Synchronicity is a concept developed by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung about what he called “meaningful coincidences”—events that line up in a way that feels too connected to be random. Most of us have had an experience like thinking about a … More Celebrate Hallowalimuertos With Me

Your Labor Day Survey: What Is Your Favorite Sandwich?

August 30, 2024

As a child growing up in Northern Virginia outside Washington DC, Labor Day was never about the end of summer for me. It was always about going back to school. My brothers and I always loved school, so while we were glad to have a break over the summer, by August we were looking forward … More Your Labor Day Survey: What Is Your Favorite Sandwich?

Happy 4th of July! Guess What I Got for Free from Trader Joe Today

July 4, 2024

Happy Independence Day to All! I hope everyone is enjoying the day. Life has seemed particularly stressful lately, so I, at least, need a day to chill out and to celebrate with all Americans, whether I politically agree with them or not. And here is something we can ALL agree on! Isn’t great to get … More Happy 4th of July! Guess What I Got for Free from Trader Joe Today

Hope You Had a Happy Eclipse Day!

April 9, 2024

I told my friends that a solar eclipse is like a National Homeschoolers holiday. Homeschoolers LOVE things like this…natural events that students can see and participate in and study from so many angles. When the last one in our area happened in 2017, we OF COURSE got glasses and watched it, but we also made … More Hope You Had a Happy Eclipse Day!

I Was Struggling with Today’s January 6th, but This Gave Me Hope

January 6, 2024

Sorry that it’s been a long time since I’ve posted. But best wishes to all for 2024. Every January 1, our Spiritual Center has a New Year’s Visioning session in which we receive guidance about what we are to do this year, and has an optional Vision Board Creation workshop afterward. The picture above is a quote … More I Was Struggling with Today’s January 6th, but This Gave Me Hope
