Bicentennial beginnings

Evidently the aforementioned Internet amnesty was entirely short-lived. But since I'm celebrating my birthday amongst dusty albums, shoebox victims, and 70's-chic nostalgia, I thought I'd share some of the images my mom just shared with me.
Note the fifth picture is all about the sandals... I guess, some things never really change.

Face Time with Red Wine

Through the looking glass of a little green Beetle... Unaffected, I paid little attention to the insufferable ambiance that lent a mere 22 degrees or to an audience of six casual observers who felt it mandatory to applaud the larking about of my camera love child. So we clambered into the cold steel of one such orphaned shopping cart and went on our happy way. Special thanks to the lovely Vicen for featuring me in LOOK 10 ... thanks a million sweetie!

The Carousel Ride

A little storytelling... A modicum of silence swallowed the room as dusty shards of sunlight patterned the multicolored carpet. Decorated with an army of garish jewelry, everything jingles, almost intentionally, as the woman perched behind the large candy counter brushes invisible lint from her blouse. Her silvery hair is the color of cotton candy. She offers a genuine smile before shifting her gaze downcast towards her slender hands. Briefly, she examines their delicate surface that is creviced by time and wiser than yesterday. At four quarters per ride, it was a small price for six minutes of uncontaminated childhood reminiscence to sweep the memory warehouse. And while we kept the company of an epoch 1920’s carousel, 60 handcrafted horses, and funky reindeer, we went round and round, faster and faster… letting it take us to those secret places we almost forgot existed. --Bella H. p.s. In lieu of those who have so thoughtfully given me awards and spotlight features... YOU'RE AM...

They said it was a Trail of Tears

I don’t have to search futilely the dank corners of an attic riddled with dust, or spend hours wading through the unbounded contents of a relic cherrywood trunk to grasp the secret language of my heritage. Because in the darkness of quiet spaces, when the world was seduced by a requiem of sleep, I heard the myriad of stories that taught me of my Great Grandmother’s upbringing. As a child, I learned of her survival and the devastating circumstances that transpired during the forced relocation to Indian reservations west of the Mississippi River. And even in the fades of memory, the truth can resurface… and some stories live to linger. So as one of my latest writing projects unfurls its raw edges, what I’ve rediscovered is that sometimes, getting back to your roots is a journey all in itself. p.s.
