It's Día de los Muertos today and I'm writing this with a beautiful altar to my side as an homage to my Mexican grandmother, Abuelita Blanca, full name Blanca Rosa González de Ruiz.
She's the first entrepreneur I ever met, a strong AF woman, and, oddly, I feel closer to her now than I did when she was alive.
This was confirmed, yet again, on Friday when I was in a virtual breathwork session with my friend, and fellow half-Mexican, Nicole Quintana-Wolf.
During that session, white roses kept popping in my mind. I wasn't too surprised, since my Abuela's name quite literally means "White Rose"...
But then I had a flashback to one of the last pictures we ever took and I realized that at that time, I was wearing a faux white rose in my hair. Never had I recognized that synchronicity until then. So powerful, I broke down and cried...
I so deeply felt my Abuelita connecting with me through white roses and made sure to listen to the signs loud and clear. (Side note: 11:11 as I type this...)
So yesterday, I went out to get her a bouquet. After a couple shops with absolutely no white roses in sight, I found a shop that had some...
And not even just your typical white roses. White roses with pink tips. The SYNCHRONICITY of that because the word "rosa" can mean both rose and pink...so I was OVER THE MOON when I found those beautiful rosebuds...the perfect blend of all things my grandmother is and was...almost like her own brand of flower.
It's so nice when this happens in our business too, right? That perfect blend of colors, energies, and actions that make us who we are and that make our brand recognizable, relatable, and perhaps more importantly, lovable <3
As I watch these flowers on my windowsill, the buds just starting to open and unfurl, I feel like the bud-to-blossom process is about revealing the magic that's inside you...like those petals be like WOW.
Here’s to being like a blossoming pink and white rosebud bringing in money, magic, and majesty <3
Feliz día de los muertos,
Kimberly
