Virgin a Day #1




I've been invited to join in the second annual " Virgin A day" by the wonderful

 Rebecca @ Recuerda mi Corazon.

It begins today and ends on

December 12th
on
Our Lady of Guadalupe
Feast Day

 I am honored to participate once again.

In Rebecca's own words:

Today marks the first day of December

Beginning twelve days of mornings with Mary.
Everyone is invited.
While this is not about religion, it is about sharing,
about opening hearts, rejoicing in ultimate mother love.it is about light, beauty, inspiration, thoughtful regard.
a welcome chance to begin each new day together
in beauty and peace.
I suspect humor and charm will make strong appearances too.
It is really about showing up.
So...
Here I am!
I'm a Mexican American girl who grew up Catholic. Though I have "strayed" from Catholicism ,I honor the great Mother Goddess.I grew up with Our lady of Guadalupe.
She is Still my LADY. When I think of a higher power it's her image that pops into my head.
It works for me! After all it comes down to having faith, finding comfort ,joy and inspiration , doesn't it?

This is an Our Lady of Guadalupe, roadside shrine, Sonora Desert, Highway 2, Mexico.
Isn't she just gorgeous?

So happy to see so many awesome posts about Mary tonight!

Thank you for stopping by!
Love & Light to all!

    Once a Catholic, always a Catholic. At least that's what I was told. We mat stray, but Baptism is forever. I love the sparkling roses at Mary's feet. I also love the prayer candle and have one burning at my side. Very cool!

    Peace

“Roses and thorns are parts of the same plant. Somehow though, some people are concerned mainly about the roses. The rose is not on the plant for more than a week, but the thorns are there forever. Roses are teaching that the beauty of life will bloom, once you have taught yourself the lessons given by living with the thorns.”  ―  Grigoris Deoudis This post is part of the  Nature Footstep meme.  A meme all about flowers and macro shots.

Happy Sunday! I decided to start an "Artist of the Week " post to do on Sundays!It's a good way to learn more about the  different styles of each artist. This week in keeping with my Mexico theme, I will feature the  fabulous    Frida Kahlo : Frida was born on  July 6th, 1907 in Coyoacan, Mexico to a Hungarian-Jewish father a nd a mother of Spanish and Mexican Indian descent. She was one of four daughters. Frida did not plan to become an artist .She had been studying Medicine at the " Escuela Nacional Preparatoria" in Mexico City. Out of 2000 students, Frida was one of only 35 women accepted into the prestigious institution. However in 1925  at the age she was severely injured in a bus accident in  which she suffers fractures to her spine, collarbone and ribs, a shattered pelvis, and shoulder and foot injuries. While she is bed-ridden and encased in a body cast   Frida began to paint lying in bed with a special easel r...
