This past weekend, I had the pleasure of celebrating the legacy of my grandparents with my cousins. Last week, my grandparents would have been turned 100 years old and in honor of their legacy, we created a documentary spotlighting each of them. It was a wonderful experience; I was able to learn so much about them through the stories of others. Why was that so big for me you ask? Because I never got a chance to meet my grandparents, any of them, not on my mother’s side or my father’s side. All were deceased by the time I was born, so for me all I have are the stories…

Perseverance Brings Reward
Over the weekend I had the pleasure of going to a grape stomping event; there I was able to stomp grapes and pick them off the vine. I was extremely excited to have this experience. I had seen the episode of I love Lucy many times before when Lucy went to go stomp grapes at a vineyard in Italy. I love that episode. Ever since watching it, I’ve wanted to stomp grapes just like Lucy. As I put my feet down into the grapes, the initial feeling was slimy, not fun. But it was the experience right? As I began to “stomp” the grapes I realized it’s not as easy…
