The month of November....


One year ago this month, my grandmother passed away. She was my favorite person in the world. She was my role model. 

Over 26 years ago she was diagnosed with breast cancer. For 25 years she fought to live and lived each day to the fullest. She battled cancer with integrity and more strength than I have ever seen. 

From this point forward, in honor of my grandmother, I am going to live each and every day to the fullest. This blog is going to be about my life and honoring my grandmother. The best parts of her live on through me. She has passed on her love, of traveling, cooking, knitting, sewing, to me. 

La vie est belle. .... With the hectic schedules and the inundation of obligations we tend to forget the joys and beauty of life surrounding us. I especially have become weighed down by all my stresses and obligations lately, but I think my grandmother provides the perfect inspiration for me to "get through" anything.
