Unexpected Delight
You don't know you miss certain things until you are reminded they are possible. Early this morning, while here in Guadalajara, Tía Estela sent me to the corner store to get her some orange juice. I looked all over the store's refrigerator in search of a quart to purchase. When I didn't see any I asked the store keeper if she had it at all...She said "Of course!" And proceeded to squeeze a litter full in a container for me to bring home! She used the sweetest oranges I have had in along time. #Unexpecteddelight
So here I am, blogging about my Chicanx family's quest, to reclaim the power and tradition of our ancestral self directed education.
I'm a self directed life long learner by necessity, travel writer by passion and activist by conviction and need. We are learning to run our family life from the intersection of reclamation of ancestral traditions, practices and values, while prioritizing the achievement of social justice for our family and those around us.
