I was one of the millions of Americans who were, let’s say, disappointed by our 2024 Presidential election results. I really loved and believed in both our first Democratic candidate and our second one, as well as the second one’s new … More OK, I’m Ready to Talk about the Election…Are You?
How about starting off the week of Thanksgiving with an uplifting song by Jesse Powers entitled “Let It Slide” ? This song is a great one for culminating Autumn because it is about letting go of old thoughts, feelings, beliefs, relationship, and such that are blocking our access to the good things right in front … More Motivational Music Monday: Let It Slide by Jesse Powers
Boy, it has been a week, an exhausting week. Remind me not to teach the day after an election. But it is testimony to teachers that after a night in which few got enough sleep, and while some watched the news in elation and some in despair, they all pulled themselves out of bed and … More Honoring Our Veterans
So I’ve done what is probably the most consequential Hallowalimuertos activity–I went and cast my vote for the 2024 elections! I dressed up in my sparkly sequined outfit, and the reflections of the sunshine danced across my dashboard as I drove to the polls. I turned on my timer when I parked in the parking … More My Hallowalimuertos Finale

But it is Day 3 of Diwali, which is usually the most festive day … More A Hallowalimuertos Song
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
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
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
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
