Say hello to the Day of the Dead.

One of my favorite festivals is taking place in Mexico this week, celebrating All Saints Day: Dia de Los Muertos, or Day of The Dead.

The festivities are loud, fun, and colorful, rather than a period of mourning. While I have been fortunate to travel worldwide, at the top of my “bucket list” would be a visit to Oaxaca, ground zero for this incredible event.

I hope to make it one day; in the meantime, I’ll find some marigolds to display; they are Flor de Muerto (Flower of Dead) used to celebrate in a small way. At least the departed souls will have something to look for when they pass me.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
