The S Sisters once again blessed BB with such symbolic gifts. The frame pictured above is encompassing my loves by the same sentiment I've shared with them throughout their lives. To give fully of oneself- in all one does, and to do it authentically. And like these hand chiseled paperweights, we shape and form our children with love, while they in turn become our grounding treasures.
For those of you who've been following BB for awhile, you may remember my Mother's Day post where I've always told my trio to "do everything with heart, from the heart." I sincerely live by this motto and as you've seen by the last couple of posts, Babushka believes in the power of giving, helping and loving. Thanks to the wonderful Heart of Haiti initiative my trio is being showcased with love, because each original piece of art is made by a Haitian artisan who gives of themselves fully. I can think of no better way to show off my trio, and no better way to show global love than to help those who give of themselves.
"Haitian artisans create beautiful one-of-a kind pieces for sale at Macys.com. This is an initiative Macy’s launched with the Clinton Bush Haiti fund and Willa Shalit – a philanthropic entrepreneur. Macy’s Heart of Haiti upholds the belief that “trade not aid” is a powerful way to create sustainable work and much needed financial opportunities."
Babushka hopes you go to their website, not just to see the wonderful creations, but to watch a video BB fell in love with. The music, the colors, but most of all the sharing of the people. Their love of their art, their country, and of themselves. Si, self love, self sufficiency- the greatest lesson a mother can give her children. And the greatest love we can give to all.
Love to you My Beautifuls, during the month of Amor and Always.

Babushka Besos a todos. Cuidensen.
P.S. Although this post was in collaboration with Latina Bloggers Connect and Heart of Haiti,
BB received no monetary compensation, just the above shown items and the satisfaction of knowing the cause is worthy of highlighting.
Opinions and beliefs as always are mine, and as always, shared from the heart.
