Dear TAO Family and Friends, November is a magical month in Mexico as we begin with “Día de los Muertos,” a very special time in which families and friends gather to create colorful altars of celebration and memory for their departed loved ones. The culmination of the celebration is on November 1 and 2, in conjunction with the Catholic holidays, All Saints Day and All Souls Day. On these days, and most especially during the evenings, people gather around altars and graves dedicated to their loved one. A family or friends may spend an entire night in celebration of their lost loved one. This incredible tradition of honoring the dead is found in many parts of Mexico and helps people to experience grief and the memory of lost loved ones in a way that embraces honor, respect, playfulness, music, food, drink and a joyful spirit. This tradition offers a wonderful reflection for the month of November: we can reflect on what we are letting go of in our lives and look to our losses with both sadness, and gratitude for what we have received. Change and loss is always a two way street. It’s important to face the sorrow and embrace the emotions might otherwise keep us stuck; we can also turn from sorrow towards gratitude as we embrace lessons learned. This month, ask yourself, “what is it time to release,” and “what loss have I yet to learn from and celebrate?” My quote of the month Happy month of November everyone Isaac Henares |

RECIPE: Ancient Ways for Comfort on Cold Days: Mexican Hot ChocolateStory goes, that for centuries, a woman could find a mate in many Mexican regions if she was able to make a good and considerable amount of foam when making hot chocolate. Otherwise, suitors would not turn their heads to her direction regardless of any other virtue. What’s more, it was the mother of the groom to be, who judged how good the foam was.
