Something For The Boys - Musicals Tonight! Love, Love, Loved this cast!
Hi Friends! Instead of pulling a tarot card today, I am lighting a candle in honor of our Veterans.
A few years ago, I was lucky enough to make a trip to France and part of that trip was to visit Normandy and tour the D-day Beaches. I’m not sure anything could have prepared me for the huge set of emotions I would feel that day regarding the many troupes - not just American- that fought for our freedom on those beaches and beyond. The stories our tour guide told of individuals that sacrificed everything for our futures will forever be imprinted on my heart. Gratitude is sometimes lost on a day to day basis, so I suppose that’s why we have holidays, to stop and remind ourselves to be grateful to the people who gave everything so we could have…something.
Above are photos from that day. Honestly, the beach…is just a beach. It’s the lessons I learned from the stories of what happened on that beach that will live in my heart forever. Below are some photos of my grandfather, who I never had the chance to meet. He was a veteran of that same war, though stationed in Okinawa. He sacrificed a lot.
So, today, take a moment to feel deep, deep gratitude. Carry with you, even in these trying times that the magic and love of those who have sacrificed for us, surrounds us - everyday - always.
Happy Memorial Day. Cheer extra loud for those front-line workers tonight. Like your whole life depends on it - cause maybe it does….
