Yesterday my husband and I went to a friends wedding at the San Francisco Presidio. It was a blend of cultures as the bride was from Napa and the groom is Nigerian. The guests were a colorful blend of ethnic backgrounds. What I found most interesting were the grooms' mother and aunts who were dressed in bright tradional clothing and head wraps. I have found with age & weight, that I personally have begun to wear "black" as a daily routine. I never would have been courageous enough to stand out in a crowd! But these women had weight - real weight. They had weight of spirit. They were full of smiles, family, love, courage, pride and - oh yeah -FUN! Gave me something to ponder.....

I'm going shopping for some shiny, colorful clothes. Plus: hats!
