  Dia de Muertos is a holiday celebrated now throughout the world though is began a long time ago in Mexico. It is too good a holiday not to be adopted by others. Honoring ancestors is part of nearly every culture, but none does it quite as richly and publicly as the Mexican culture with Dia de Muertos.  The eating of specially prepared (yunny) foods at the graves of those who have passed, a sacred sharing, is a culmination of sorts of all the other activities that include: altars remembering the dead (Sula shown visiting one above) yummy, yummy, yummy food served at restaurants, eaten at home, shared with friends posadas (parades) around town - sacred and fun at the same time paper-cutting (really ornate) Sula's book, Dia de Muertos , contains a history, authentic recipes (!!!!), explanation of symbols, directions of how to make the paper cuttings, and lots and lots of pictures. Proofed by a Mexican priest -- Sula wanted to get it 100% right because, as with many other things, mis

  Preface “Philosophy is dead,” declared Stephen Hawking in agreement with many others. “As philosophers have not kept up with science, their art is dated” (Warman, 2011).

Every discipline is a language capable of encompassing

  Excerpt from How to Be a Good Mommy When You're Sick ebook:  Amazon Kindle paperback: MSI Press webstore  (code FF25 gives 25% discount) Everyday Basics Remember your foundation Do not apologize!     Apologizing for meeting your basic sleeping needs does not benefit anyone. This also gives people the impression that your needs—including your schedule—can be altered based on their own needs or that your schedule is merely a matter of convenience and not essential to your wellbeing and that of your family. Stick to what you know is best for you, your health, and your child/children. Everyone else can learn the routine and should be happy that you are showing strength and doing everything you can to stay as healthy as you can be. People who are not happy about your strength and resolve to take your health needs seriously should be given the boot! Do what you can and be happy with it!          At times, your sleep schedule may require you to pick and choose some activities ve
