Today is the last day of honoring our dead in Mexico and Mexican culture. Being a Mexican American (more American than Mexican, but who’s measuring), I’ve never really taken the time to celebrate this tradition. It just wasn’t done in my family. Since college, I’ve taken more time to really be in tune with my Mexican-ness (I know, I know, not a word – deal with it) and have come to appreciate the little nuances that make our culture so wonderful. I won’t get into politics here, as I really don’t want to have negativity in my life, but I do want to remind everyone that the USA is a melting pot. Always have been and always will be. Please don’t forget that.

¡Feliz Dia de los Muertos!
