Yep, it’s true. Chips and salsa are a weakness at the Mexican restaurants I visit.

An Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. And rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again. May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Throwback Thursday, St. Patrick’s Day Edition: U2 – Pride (In The Name Of Love)

The most popular band from Ireland in the past 30 years is U2 and this is an appropriate song for today being St. Patrick’s Day. From back in 1984, Pride (In The Name Of Love).

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

(From History.com) Every year on March 17, the Irish and the Irish-at-heart across the globe observe St. Patrick’s Day. What began as a religious feast day for the patron saint of Ireland has become an international festival celebrating Irish culture with parades, dancing, special foods and a whole lot of green.

 

A Ramble About Blood, Life and Love

Blood is made of cells, plasma, platelets but that is just biology. Everyone has blood flowing through their veins and it looks pretty much alike. However blood is different because of the DNA that is a part of it. That building block of life contains unique traits from unique people. The story of family, kin, people. Blood binds people, it saves their lives and it powers the body.

Your blood is about sustaining life. It’s continuing the lineage and connecting people on a cellular and corporeal level. It takes two to create a unique person who has combined two hearts to make a new heart with its own unique blood flowing through their veins. There are stories in blood passed down from generations and those tales are what make us unique. Blood is about a lot of things, it’s about all of us and perhaps we can use it to help love one another.
