Celebrating Hispanic Heritage

Posted on October 15, 2021 9 Comments

You guys get to see the celebration. I don’t post much on Facebook; and, I wanted to brag about my kids ❤️

I had no idea this encompassed 13 countries! This part was truly amazing!

My Calandra in the flowered dress ❤️ Kindergarteners did a music dance.

My Zivah is the little lady with the bit of messy hair. She’s tall 🙂 The 2nd grade class also did a musical dance.

Additionally, other classes with older kids sang a few songs! Following the performance, there was tacos and rice waiting in the cafeteria.

Yesterday, my Calandra went to a huge fruit farm. She and her classmates went through a corn maze, rode on a wagon ride, picked pumpkins, and ate apples.

It feels incredible to celebrate all the aspects of this wonderful time of year.

I hope you take some time and explore something foreign. I hope you let yourself really “see” and “listen” to it. Taste it, it’s authentication in it’s existence. Open your mind. Teach your heart that there is a big beautiful world waiting to be explored.

With Love and Light,

Nova Namastè

PS:

My daughter and her classmates made applesauce from the apples picked, yesterday.

They Hear Colors

The dash of sugar races the length of their veins. The giggles and hype begin to multiple. Their bodies pick up speed. The adrenaline becomes impossible to control. Sounds twinkle the silhouette of clusters displayed on the shelves. This place is much too small.

This moment is nothing short of ludicrous.
Sugar highs; damn🤦🏼‍♀️. 🤣😂🤣😂

“Kids!! One, two, Three, look at me!”

Nothing.

(Claps and repeats the same chant).

My second attempt was a bit more successful!(Only by a thin hair)

“We’re moving on to our next stop.”

[“Get them out of here!” my mind screamed.]

Hope you enjoyed!

Love & Light

Happy Pierogi Day 🤍

Posted on October 7, 2021 2 Comments

I remember reading these for the first time. My mom just boiled them, these added a dash of salt and butter.

I’ve made them once or twice. My girls were little, so they didn’t care for them. I’m going to try again soon.

Do you have a special way you make yours (if at all?)

Here’s some interesting history!

Pierogi arrived on Polish territories in the 13th century. The were probably imported from the Far East via eastern neighbors such as Kievian Rus (today’s Ukraine) perhaps thanks to Hyacinth of Poland (a monk in a Kiev monastery who became patron saint of pierogi). In the past, pierogi were more popular in the eastern borderlands of Old Poland than in the west. The first written pierogi recipes come from Compendium Ferculorum a book published in 1682. It was the first Polish cookbook of the renowned cook Stanisław Czerniecki.

This is the most international recognized Polish dish.

Have yourself this yummy dish today 🙂

May all your thoughts, ideas, and connections, today, come from a place of love and compassion. 🎋 May you acknowledge and embrace the moments of peace. May your work environment be of light and laughter. May you allow yourself to trust what will come and wait for it’s message. May you accept what is truth and what isn’t. May you allow the universe to align you with what’s meant for you. May you have an amazing Thursday!

What the What? 😱😱😱😱

Posted on October 4, 2021 Leave a Comment

There’s so much fun in the unexpected ( sometimes!). What better time of year than to fill our downtime with the questionable, creepy, chilling, and completed unexpected thrills than October! Sometimes, (ovbiously when I’m in the safe comforts of my own home HAHA *twisted? probably*) I laugh at at my favorite YouTube Adventurers when such a moment comes upon them. It’s when we’re least prepared, that our truest self is surfaces!

Time for Change

Posted on October 2, 2021 Leave a Comment

I don’t blame Mother nature for the onset of a new season. I, selfishly, long to meet the cool crisp air and dance in the leaves of color. I plead with her to bring me the perfect moments. The ones when I can settle into my large burgandy comforter and sip a fresh pumpkin spiced coffee. My heart plays the melodies of Autumn wind. The intrinsic leaves’, effortlessly, contribute to the sounds of the season. On occasion, the sun graces my skin, reminding me that this is a transition, and life a journey.
