A classic from Fito Páez. “Quien dijo que todo está perdido? Yo vengo ofrecer mi corazón.” Who says that all is lost. I come offering my heart.
🧡
The lyrics of this song are beautiful, powerful and really struck my heart as perfect for this moment. Yes I want to talk, we need to “change our house”, do some deep cleaning, it may be spirit-wrenching. But life is not cancelled. The moonlight has no price. Love is ever present, and your heart is bigger and fuller and more powerful than it all.
🧡
So I come tonight to offer you my heart. Yo vengo ofrecer mi corazón.

Thank you to everyone who bought our ❤️2❤️ crafts and to the staff for supporting our project!
❄️
All the proceeds will go to benefit houseless children with school through
❄️
We’ll be making our donation next week, but there are still kids socks, a few T’s and hand-stamped holiday cards available. Buy them via the link in my bio to pick up at Fig Earth or walk in to chose your favorite. When you order online you can’t chose a specific size or color, just pick the item (adult T, kids T, card, socks) and put your size request in the notes.
You can also buy a T even if you don’t have a child to give it to and we’ll donate the shirt to a child in need.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thoughts about the symbology of light in these darkest nights of the year. No matter how deep the darkness of the night or the darkness in our spirit or mind, we can always take one step closer to the light.

My son and I have created a little project we call “❤️2❤️” making our holiday crafts to sell for charity, so we can make the season brighter for houseless and foster kids to in LA.
🎄
When we started making holiday crafts a few weeks ago, J wanted to make a “craft stand” to sell our crafts. I suggested we give the $ to help kids who are in need, and he agreed!
🌟
We are partnering with who donated a bunch of their cute “Dig Yourself” kids Ts to the cause and are managing the sales for us on their website.
There is limited stock and 💯 of profit will go to local charities helping kids this holiday.

🌟Thanks!🌟
Accept yourself, accept your pain, accept this moment and see how your energy shifts. I know, it’s hard, but resistance is harder.
If you’re feeling ungrounded, anxious, nervous, this calming ratio breath will help to ease your mind and body.

Today would have been my grandfather David’s 91st birthday.
The influence of my grandparents on my life cannot be overestimated, each in their own way. As you can see from these pictures, Grandpa David he had a playful, fun loving side. He knew how to entertain and be the life of the party, he knew how to make people feel welcome and bring people from all walks of life together. He and my grandmother always supported my dreams. In fact they turned their lives upside down for me and my mother, moving to LA from NYC to help care for me when my parents divorced when I was 4. They took me to ballet classes and choir practices. They picked me up after school and made dinner for my mom and I. They attended every play and recital. They helped me with my homework. My grandfather was my father figure. He taught me to type on his old typewriter. He taught me to debate. He taught me to appreciate the arts. I can still remember getting dressed up as a little girl to go on dates to the opera or a musical with my grandpa. They took me on vacations to faraway places with them. They taught me to play cards, have good manners and make conversation.
He was also a ruthless teaser who knew how to get under my skin, even make me cry. Not having had the kind of safety, security and affection he helped provide for me when he was a child, he didn’t always have high emotional intelligence. But as an adult I have realized that in his way he was preparing me to be tough in a tough world that awaited me outside our secure family.
In these days I have thought a lot about the legacy he left our family as an activist who helped build after school programs for poor inner city youth in NYC and who protested the Vietnam war. And the way over the years he took in and supported many people in whom he saw intelligence or talent regardless of their class, gender or color of their skin. Any he loved and championed (and ruthlessly teased) us all regardless!
Happy Birthday to a great man, my Darling Grandfather. ❤️
