When we look over someone else's life, we are amazed, we are awed, we are emotionally bedazzled at the ordeals they survived and even thrived through. Their life was normal…for them. As your crazy adventures in life will be for you. Part of your ability to be emotionally bedazzled by the life of another is the capacity to FEEL them as they might have experienced their circumstances. They want their lives to be learned from and appreciated for whatever value you can extract of it. Please don't let the lives of your ancestors be only a name on a family tree or a blip on the radar that fades with each generational reset. I'm gonna tell you a little secret…there is a profound superpower to be had in making the 'Dia de los Muertos' an everyday occasion. Read your ancestor stories, share them with your children. Remember them. Feel them. Learn from them. Because History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.  more
