It’s a rainy cloudy day in paradise. I’m making some friends here in Pescadero/Todos Santos, but feeling homesick. Getting here was exciting, but now reality is hitting. Do I want to live here, or only be here part time? It is a different culture, different language, different land, food and ways. The contrast of gringo life and poor native people is hard on the heart. The site of a young girl in town who walked into an industrial container which was her home won’t leave me heart. I miss my own child and continue to feel heartbroken that we are not in relationship. It’s one of those days. Comforting words are welcome.

Was Sharing with her that she needs to be clear about what works for her Like you are I love That about you You are a beloved Lo

Oh Frances. Your big, beautiful heart. Today sounds like a challenge.
Saw this and thought of you:
“Happiness is when what you think, what you say,
and what you do are in harmony.”
―Mahatma Gandhi

I understand. I traveled in Mexico for most of a year with my children thinking we might stay there. The travel gave me perspective and although I had much time for some needed introspection–I too missed communicating easily and all of the other things from my soft Southern home. It changed me and I could never quite be home in the same way again. While I didn’t stay in the South or in Mexico, I feel lucky to have both places in my experience. Hugs to your own sweet heart. I’m lighting candles for you. xoxox

Sending you lots and lots of love and hugs dear Frances. I see from your more recent post that you’re feeling better. Life can be hard and we need to support each other through the challenges. Wish I could meet up with you in Baja this year but we are going to Mazatlan for a week the end of February. Cesar needs to spend time with his siblings before we go anywhere else in Mexico. He hasn’t been to his home town/family in way too long. But hopefully next year we can make it to Baja. I’ve haven’t been there yet. I’m more familiar with a little town called Chacala. Besides you, I have some dear friends I would like to visit who live for about 3 months of the winter in a little town in Baja called La Ventana. (think I have the name right) I hope your time in Montana goes well. Sorry that you have so much pain and loss with your daughter. Hoping for healing. Take care. xoxoxo
