Mexican Angel

A friend gave me this keychain today. It was the perfect gift for so many reasons.

Last night I forgot my keys, which I usually do. Because there is a part of me that doesn't want to believe that I have to settle anywhere, still holding the traveler's spirit at heart. Another part of my nature of being a child-free woman.

This keychain is of an Angel from Mexico -- it was actually handmade by people in Mexico. It is believed that it has healing powers that get transferred to the person who receives it.

This is appropriate because firstly, I have a bad cold today. Secondly because I need serious divine help with making sure I don't lose my keys and get locked out.  And lastly, years ago I went to Mexico, backpacked for 2.5 months on the first trip, then lived there for 6 months. I even learned how to speak Spanish then just because.  I fell in love with the place. So much so, I wrote a children's book called The Stellar Queen of Oaxaca.  I was able to do this because I wasn't married and I didn't have the responsibility of children.

So this gift today was so perfect for me. And it reminds me of all the adventures I have had because I am a child-free woman, even though no one else may truly understand these adventures and stories and the meaning in how they have touched my heart.

I feel blessed.
