Joy Is In The Air

(My lovely nephew who is in a constant state of joy)

Can you feel it?

"Promise me you will never give up hope, and I will promise to do the same. It is this belief that keeps me growing and moving forward."

I just wanted to thank all of you who have taken the time to comment on my father's Ofrenda blog. (Both on blogspot and on my Myspace page) Your kind words and memories mean a lot to me, and I want you to know how much you are aprreciated. I also want to give out "shouts" to all who participated in the Dia De bloglandia event. It was truly amazing to see everyone's memorials and different point of views regarding "Dia De Los Muertos". I understand that Stephanie and Susanna are going to be hosting it again next year, so do stay tuned.

Friday evening, I will be doing a drawing for those that commented on my Blog, and if you haven't done so already, here is the link, you still have time.

For those of you that are new to me, I have recently put together a RAK (random act of kindess) swap challenge, utilizing gifts of art and message, and we are just about done wrapping it up. I have heard some amazing stories and viewed some very inspiring and amazing pictures. I will be doing a feature on the project very soon. I am also working out some details on a Christmas themed RAK challange, but I do want to encourage all of you to practice this "ritual" on a regular basis. Trust me, it is very good for your soul.
