AN ENCHANTED JOURNEY . . .
“I have always included minority characters in my stories, often as heroes. We live in a diverse society — in fact, a diverse world, and we must learn to live in peace and with respect for each other.” — Stan Lee . . . #EverUpward ♥️

There are few things I 💙 more than STEAM enrichment, community and curious young people! From delicious Frito Pies and hot chocolate, to supportive community partners (UNM Taos, Upward Bound Math and Science) to engaged parents, “Science & Astronomy Night” hosted by Taos Municipal Schools, Arroyos Del Norte Elementary was a SMASH!
We ate. We created. We explored. And we talked lots of alien existence, strange sky sightings and what makes Mars cohabitation the Earth alternative — thanks Ian!
A telltale sign you’ve got it right? When after 2 hours your kid still isn’t quite ready to leave!:)
Well done Arroyos Del Norte! May the stars be forever in your favor!:)

“Coco,” a Story About Borders and Love, Is a Definitive Movie for This Moment
“Coco” is a movie about borders more than anything—the beauty in their porousness, the absolute pain produced when a border locks you away from your family. The conflict in the story comes from not being able to cross over; the resolution is that love pulls you through to the other side. The thesis of the movie is that families belong together. I watched it again this week, reading the news that Donald Trump is considering building an unregulated holding camp for migrant children, that ICE showed up on the lawn of a legal permanent resident and initiated deportation procedures, that a four-month-old baby was torn away from her breast-feeding mother. If justice is what love looks like in public, then love has started to seem like the stuff of children’s movies, or maybe the stuff of this children’s movie—something that doesn’t make sense in the adult world, but should.”
