Family Christmas Advent Calendar - Day 25

"Faith makes all things possible, Hope makes all things work, Love makes all thing beautiful, 
May we have all three this Christmas"

Christmas Day

It’s finally Christmas Day!! One of the most wonderful days of the year. Spending time with my family is one of my favourite hobbies. As I get older I start to realize what truly is important in life. Creating memories with the ones I truly love and love me just as much. 

The day started pretty slow I must say. My family and I got up around 10 in the morning. We didn’t have time to open our gifts because family was coming for a quick visit around 11:30. By the time we had our coffee and breakfast it was 11. We got ready, made more coffee and placed home made Christmas cookies on a plate to serve. After our family member left we opened our Christmas present for one and other. We mostly get gag gifts for each other, it’s hard to get my family a gift when they have everything they want. Finally we wanted to go to the mossoliaym where my grandparents are buried to pay our respect. 

When we got back home we relaxed until the even when we were having my aunt and uncle over for Christmas dinner. My mom and I decided to keep the dinner menu on the east side. We started the dinner with onion soup and finished with a large chacurerie platter. We usual are with an abundance of food for the next week. That is why we decide to keep is simple. 

So that’s it the Christmas season is coming to a close. I’m so grateful for all the wonderful memories I’ve created with my family this Christmas. 

I hope all of you had a blessed and wonderful Christmas. 


Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday

Smudging Ritual

Over the weekend my family and I were invited to my cousins, for a house warming party. As I started talking to my mom about what to get her, a Smudging Kit came to mind. Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing commonly known today as Smudging. It’s a powerful spiritual cleansing technique to purify any space or a brand new home. I had so much fun creating the Smudging Kit. I wanted to share it with you so you can make your own or for family and friend. The kit has all the essential needed smudge stick, small bowl, lighter, candle, feather bundle, and a couple pink quartz to spread the love.  I got excited and started to do some research, I want to know when saging first started, what were the benefits, how often should it be done, where can you buy it and so many more questions. I say that it all started with the Native American to bless an area using sage, flowers and other herbs to clear any unwanted negative energy. This Ceremonial Tradition helps any space feel free of negativ...

The Universal Laws

The Universal Laws This past week I really got interested in learning more about the laws of the universe. When I googled it some said there were 12 others said there were 7. These laws are happening naturally if we understand them or not. Even when we don't understand the connection to any obstacles we encounter in our daily life. By not living in the awareness of these laws. you may feel frustrated, confused and lost about your life's purpose. You may feel everything is going wrong for you, no matter what you do, how you act or how much you plan. Things keep going totally wrong. When people start to live their lives with the awareness of the laws of the universe. Begin to feel better, more productive, confident and feeling everything beginning to go their way. If you start to apply these universal laws you will notice a huge difference in the way you feel. So by practicing each of these laws there is such an advantage for personal word.  I'm sure you just want ...

21x21 Manifestation Challenge

A couple of week ago I saw a manifestation challenge that I’ve never hear or seen before. It’s called the 5x55 manifestation challenge. When I first found the video on YouTube I was in the Dominican Republic, so I decided when I got back home I would start it.  Basically the 5x55 Manifestation Challenge goes something like this. You decide on something you want to manifest. It could be anything from wanting a new car to getting someone to call. Honestly it could be anything your wonderful heart desires. So once you know what you want to manifest, you put it in a sentence “I’m so happy and grateful to be driving my brand new car” for example. Once you have you sentence you need to write it out 55 times for 5 days. It’s that simple. To be honest my hand hurt but by letting go of that pain, trusting and believing that what your writing will come. Makes all the pain worth it and fade away.   Since you get the idea. I want to share a similar challenge I will be doing for t...
