Happy Monday,
I hope October has been treating you well. As we close out the month, the world is celebrating Halloween.If you are a person of African descent or of Spanish/Hispanic descent, you may also be celebrating All Saints Day and/or el Día de los Muertos.
It is very important to have a connection with our elders living as well as those that are our Ancestors. They have wisdom to share with us as well as we can teach them some things. Lessons from elders can teach of rituals, celebrations, and just family traditions that have been carried on for generations.
Some of us may have a strained relationship with our elders in our family and that’s ok. I know for myself, my maternal grandmother and I were not close at all. I kept my distance from her. I had peace when she transitioned back in 2019. I honor her as an Ancestor but that’s as far as our relationship goes.
