Danza For Grandma
Thankful that my Grandma is doing better and gaining her strength one day at a time. We are very hopeful and pray for her health and happiness. The other day our Grupo Xochitl in Pueblo, Colorado was able to come together and share a few dances for her. It was good to see her having a good day in the sunshine there at her little house in Dogpatch. She even got an Eagle feather that day! My little sister took this picture. Tlazo to Grupo Xochitl for coming together for our Abuelita. Cultura Cura!!

A Good Morning Kiss
My Grandpo said hito get your camera and take our picture and I did which is another picture of them sitting together with their little dog Pepe in the living room. Then I turned my camera on a kiss. It wasn’t quite the 10 sec smooch that he gave her the other morning, but my Grandpo gave my Grandma a few kisses today and I just happened to catch this one.

Grandma talking about Casa Verde
GrandmaCookCasaVerde I’m going through scarps of media that I could find, video, audio… whatever. But I came across this tiny pice of audio of my Grandma Connie talking about when her and Mr.s Montour used to cook for the Brown Berets in Pueblo, Colorado!
I need to figure out how to get this audio player on this post through wordpress.

Trying to keep a focus on work but Grandma’s on my mind!
Balancing my life of a professional and just a human being, I often find myself posting personal stuff around professional settings. I know that I should draw a line between the two but sometimes I can’t help it or just do it anyway.
Right now I find myself trying to focus on my work but my Grandma is so much on my mind. You see she is sick right now in the hospital. I try to work but thoughts drift back to her. I think so much of who I am and my values were shaped by grandparents and the love that they gave me. Even in my screenwriting or picture-taking I often find myself drawing upon those krazy stories and ideas that I gained from cherished talks with my Grandma in her little run-down kitchen.
I guess I should try to get some work done, just taking a moment to reflect upon my Grandma and sending her good thoughts for a hopeful recovery there in the hospital… The family is very worried for her =(
