i believe in miracles.
roses defying snow. joy born from the
simplest moments.
a scattering of birds, stars, a single candle in the window of love.
i believe in looking into the heart of each person
and choosing love.
san miguel de allende
i am certain things are not always as they seem,
that there is more to the story
of every single person we meet.
so i choose
peace, understanding, acceptance.
i choose to look into the eyes of each face and see
soul.
i choose roses in the snow.
today is the feast day of our lady of guadalupe.
may the friendship and reflection
shared so generously
leading to her day of honor
swirl in our hearts forever
as a constellation of mother love.
together we have turned our intentions to
inclusion, beauty, tenderness and love.
i have cherished every shared step,
each salutation and offering have been heartfelt,
generous; filled with promise and friendship.
i am so grateful for your place in my heart.
i am especially grateful for beginning and ending each day in peace.
thank you for this precious mary walk.
together we are roses in the snow.
xoxo

What a glorious way to end our 12 day journey. This Guadalupe in the town you love so much is absolutely stunning. And your words bring me hope. Thank you so much for taking time in your busy schedule to host us. Having this meme once again really gave me advent focus.

I always think of myself as one with an open heart, however this walk with you has opened it wider. Thank you.

Hope you are having a beautiful Guadalupe day, Rebecca. Tomorrow I will be celebrating Lupita at the santuario de Guadalupe in Santa Fe. I hope to take pictures to share with you, post December 12. Thinking of you and missing you so on this wonderful day. Love to you and Billy.

Roses in the snow!! Such a beautiful image of love and peace. Always present but at times invisible and mostly found in the most unexpected places. Thank you for hosting this annual pilgrimage. It is a lot of work but feeds so many. A blessed festive season and I wish you health, wealth in everything and happiness, love Hettienne

Thank you Rebecca, for facilitating these twelve days once again. Although I didn't make it the entire twelve, it still put beauty and joy into my heart. I thank you, and all your participants, for that.
I know I speak for all of us in praying for your well-being. xo
