Spring is in the air💐
Whether you are celebrating Easter, Passover, Vaisakhi, or not celebrating anything at all, I wish each of you a great long weekend!
For me, this season is a time of renewal - for nature, which brings us so many significant moments in the springtime, and for many of us personally. It’s a perfect moment to step back and watch the earth burst forth in color and life.
This weekend, I’ll be spending time with my family, preparing for the Easter bunny with my daughters and welcoming more spring-like days after a long winter.
I hope you enjoy the long, beautiful weekend with your loved ones - sending you all love and light! 💕

National Day of Mourning with Native Americans
As we embrace the spirit of gratitude this Thanksgiving, let's pause to reflect on the layers of history that define this day. Gratitude extends beyond the warmth of family and friends; it also encompasses acknowledging the complexities woven into the fabric of Native American experiences. 🍁
While Thanksgiving represents a time of appreciation, it's vital to recognize the National Day of Mourning, a poignant reminder for many Indigenous communities. Originating in 1970, this day offers an alternative perspective, inviting us to explore the rich culture and societal nuances of Native Americans often overshadowed by mainstream narratives.
"I am not here to shame anyone for gathering with loved ones and sharing a meal. What I am asking you to do is be truthful about the inciting events for this gathering, express gratitude to the Indigenous peoples whose lands you gather on, and to be a co-conspirator in the many movements to sustain the life of our shared Mother." - @indigenizingartsed
Here are tools to facilitate the decolonization of our Thanksgiving traditions: 🍂 Learn whose land you are on: Acknowledge the Native lands near you and delve into the history of colonial land expansion.⠀
🍂 Learn the real history: Recognize Thanksgiving as a complex narrative, acknowledging the genocide and violence experienced by Native communities. Seek out Native perspectives on early colonial history.⠀
🍂 Make Native recipes: Infuse your Thanksgiving with authenticity by creating an Indigenous-inspired meal.⠀
🍂 Celebrate Native people: Expand your knowledge by reading about Native peoples, their diverse cultures, and rich history.
Let's approach this Thanksgiving with open hearts, bridging the gap between past and present, and fostering a collective commitment to truth and respect.
