So proud of my cousin Jessica for making such a difference with Tewa Women United for a decade. My cousin is a doula and it was an honor to see women from various backgrounds at this event becoming doulas as well. Jessica is a special woman and it’s wonderful to see a woman with Lujan roots making a difference in our community.

We Made It!

Created with a loving heart by Felicia Lujan for the Turquoise Trail Charter School~ 6th Grade Class of 2017.

May has been a very busy month (creatively) for me. I have: finished the flowers for a wedding party; sketched, then painted a 10×10 banner; and created an almost 12 minute memory movie. Today was spent decorating the school for the big day. I’ll share more soon about what I’ve been working on over the last few weeks.

This memory movie is one of the things that took me hours on end to create. To make the movie, I: scanned hundreds of photographs; incorporated still, moving images and sound bytes; and created a custom mix of three songs selected by the kids for the audio layer.

▪On some nights, I had a cross-platform system on fire… scanning, editing, organizing. Both my PC and Mac took a beating on this project!▪

Awesome Darkness

Rare are they… the women who are just the right mix of sweet and dark, beautiful, fit, and extremely creative! Today at the gym, all of us received our “official” invitations to Russ and Christina’s party on the 22nd. I can’t say how much I loved them!! They are seriously amazing! Christina is such an awesome lady. It’s a coffin invitation~💀~ with a bloody mary mixer for badness sake and I love it! 

Between their party, our work party and Carmen’s Dia de Los Muertos ×💀× birthday bash featuring J’z enchiez, I’m like ohhhh yeah! Enchantress gonna be busy making foodie gainz and bringing darkness to those around her.

Ghost Town Gobbler

Yesterday morning on my way to work, it was like driving through a creepy ghost town. No traffic!!? When I got there, I walked through the empty parking lot. The offices upstairs and downstairs were all dark. Driving to and from the gym for lunch, there were still hardly any souls on the road. Where were all the ghosts today? Sleeping? Nobody got time for that! You know which town was alive? Yep… Mandrill’s. Lot looking like these gobblerz don’t ever rest. Just call me Pac-Man in this mofo. It was my “day off,” so I ran for 30 minutes and hit abs. With all the stress I’ve been under, I need serious nourishment!

For the Kids I Will Never Meet

This year we will not exchange gifts in my family. After being inspired to give more to others at the last ARMA meeting, I decide to buy some gifts for kids in need with my extra money. My friend Lynn was telling me that some children go to her place until 4:00pm after school and then wait to get into a shelter for the night? It is so sad to think about. If I was wealthy, I would help so much more.

All I really have to give is light, but George MacDonald once said “if instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.” That is so true. I embedded links to two stories I  wrote during the holidays a while back. They are good ones to share again.
