Day 30 - A Picture of Someone You Miss

Arcele was my husband's stepdad since my husband was 5. He passed away last June. He was one of the most exuberant people I've ever met. He loved Chile, his home country, and loved rooting for his beloved Chilean soccer team. He was also passionate about cooking, celebrating life, and being together with the people he loved. He also made the best pisco sours you could ever dream of. He always made me feel welcome when he was around. He was like a ray of sunshine. He was, in a way, the heart of my husband's family, and he will be sorely missed by all of us for years to come.

Day 29 - A Picture that Can Always Make You Smile

My niece Abby & my dog Coconut are two of my favorite little souls on the planet. Abby was there the day I got Coco, (Coco was only 8 weeks old!) and they have been best buds ever since. I love to see them both happy because they both mean the world to me.

Day 28 - A Picture of Something You're Afraid Of

Hmm, do I post a photo of heights, snakes or planes? I guess snakes on planes would just about cover it. So maybe I'll just post a photo of a plane. I'm not so worried about flying on planes as flying on a plane that might crash, which is why I both take drugs and pray fervently when I fly. So far it's worked pretty well at keeping the planes I fly on aloft.

Day 27 - A Picture of Yourself & A Family Member

This is a photo of my brother Joshua and I on my wedding day. I love my baby bro!

Day 26 - A Picture of Something that Means A lot To You

Kindness means a lot to me. Kindness and generosity of spirit. Mother Teresa is someone who devoted her time, kindness, and basically her life to serving others. But there are so many other unsung heroes who commit random acts of kindness everyday. For the person to whom the kindness is given, it makes all the difference in the world.
