Mother’s Day During A Pandemic

 

Happy Mother’s Day!  Its been a while since I’ve shared anything via the blog.  SO much has happened since we last talked.  Who would have thought these United States of America would be part of a Pandemic that resulted in a complete quarantine lockdown.
This pandemic hasn’t been easy for anyone I’m sure.  So many lives lost to this terrible virus. So many emotions.  In the beginning, I cried everyday.  Somehow I’ve adjusted to what I believe will be our new normal.
This Mother’s Day is different.  The biggest difference from the past, not being able to attend church. I don’t think I’ve missed a Mother’s Day church service in many, many years.  Secondly, going out to celebrate with the family.  We would all gather together at a restaurant to celebrate.
Today was good day in-spite of… It started off with brunch here at home.  I had one of my favorite Mexican soups “Menudo” with all the fixings.  We also had the most fabulous  Raspberry Lemonade Cocktail Spritzer. (I will share the recipe below).
Brunch
Today’s outfit was lounge wear, because there is nowhere to go AND home is the safest place right now. I’m wearing a Caftan with vibrant colors.  I haven’t worn accessories especially rings and bracelets since the pandemic began.  Today was no exception.  My only accessory, Sophia drop earrings.  There are no shoes or handbag.  A day like today, called for a turban! Outfit complete.

I pray each of you maintain your health and safety as we navigate our way through these uncertain times. I hope to see you back here soon!
Happy Mother’s Day
There is BEAUTI in everything, find it…
