MADAME CHOCOLAT

It’s with a heavy heart and a sorrowed soul that I want to inform all my friends and family know that Mama G passed away. My heart aches and my soul cannot understand why mom left me so soon.

I will miss you a lot Mama!

Go and meet Mamita, Alain, Papa Julio and all your friends that had passed before you!

In Memoriam a Ms. Georgina Duprey
‘Hay personas que pasan por la vida, haciendo el bien, sin mirar a quien. Siembran bondad, sabiduría, consuelo, alegria. Dedican su vida a ese servicio, escogiendo una profesión dedicada a guiar y ser solidario en el dolor, resolviendo y buscando soluciones a problemas sociales y burocráticos. Calladamente, ponen su granito de arena para hacer de este mundo uno mejor y menos oscuro.
Anoche nació a su nueva vida espiritual Ms. Georgina Duprey. Una nueva estrella en el firmamento, un nuevo Ser de Luz, una nueva fuerza positiva.

Hasta siempre, Madam Chocolat, gracias por los recuerdos, consejos, buenos momentos.

Vuela alto … fly high!!

I met this extraordinary woman in 1985 when I began my career with the Veterans Administration in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico.

There are no words to express the feeling of loss of such an incredible woman.

You saw her coming down the hallway, in her bright attire, with a smile that went from ear to ear.

Her hearty laugh was music to our ears.

Her kind heart, her incredible dedication, her amazing sense of humor are but a few of the qualities she has.

Her Three Kings Day celebration was unique!

Madame Chocolat … the African Queen

… the loss is too huge to measure!

Fly away!

We are ALL connected through LOVE

‘In the arms of an Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here … “

Happy Three Kings Day …. Feliz Día de Reyes …. “Tradition …. “!!

WE THREE KINGS OF ORIENT ARE

The Three Kings (Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar) represented Europe, Arabia and Africa respectively.

They came from afar, searching for Baby Jesus and brought them presents: Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.

These valuable items were standard gifts to honor a king or deity in the ancient world: gold as a precious metal, frankincense as perfume or incense, and myrrh as anointing oil.

Story behind the song
There is so much mystery surrounding the story of the Three Kings. Who were they? Where did they come from? What relation did they have to each other? We only really know what (or Who) they were after.

Their only guides were ancient scripture and a bright star. They would not give up until they found the Savior of the world, no matter the cost.

Our arrangement of this traditional Christmas song “We Three Kings” is a tribute to them, their tenacity, and their Noble Purpose.

We ALL are ONE!!

ONE DAY AFTER THREE KINGS DAY

It’s already been said that this Christmas season is over.

In America, it’s usually done after New Year’s Eve.

Christmas trees were already in the curb the day after Christmas.

In my country, Puerto Rico. we still celebrate.

We celebrate New Years Day and Three Kings Day. After Three Kings Day, there are the “Octavitas” … eight more days where the celebration and partying continues!

This takes us into mid January.

In the spirit of this continued celebration, I give you these handsome guinea pigs as Gaspar, Balthasar, and Melchior.

~IN HER OWN WORDS~

“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”

THREE KINGS DAY EVE

Today is a very special day for me. It brings back memories of my childhood and how we celebrated the night before Three Kings Days.

As a child, I use to get my box ready. We all went out to the yard, gathered grass and filled the box.  Before going to sleep, we put the box under our beds. The excitement of the night spread to one and all.

Day brake couldn’t come soon enough.

As soon as we woke up, we looked under the bed. The gifts were always the best. December 25 was the “test drive” for Christmas. January 6 was the “real deal”.

As grandmothers, we are trying to instill this tradition in our four grandchildren. Even though their main celebration is Christmas, we have gather on January 6 and open the presents that the Magis will leave for them tonight.

(As adults, we’d rather leave presents in the box and hope the Magi packs the box with “grass“! …. LOL).

In the spirit of the season, we wish you a Happy Three Kings Day!

THREE KINGS DAY

December 25?

By Zain Deane

For many Puerto Ricans, that’s merely a prelude to what they feel is really the important day of the marathon Christmas Season in Puerto Rico. I should point out that the Three Kings, or Los Reyes Magos, are not only venerated in Puerto Rico but throughout the Latin World.

The Kings, or Wise Men, certainly present a more spiritual and faithful representation of the birth of Christ than an once-obscure saint who came to be known as Santa Claus and who was squeezed into his signature red suit by the Coca-Cola Company.

Regardless of faith, most Americans know the story, or at least, know of the story, of the Three Kings. As my venerable colleague and About Christianity Guide, Mary Fairchild, explains, we don’t know a whole lot about the Magi (which doesn’t mean magic-trick magicians but rather a general term for astrologers, seers, and fortunetellers). In their sole appearance in the Gospel of Matthew, they are never named, and hail from “the east.” (The names we have come to know them by — Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar — were handed to them much later on.) The most well-known thing about them, of course, is that they came bearing gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh.

On the night Christ was born, the were drawn by a “mysterious light” which became a star that hung in the western sky. The followed this sign to Bethlehem, where they arrived (a little late) to honor Christ’s birth. In fact, the “12 Days of Christmas,” which is so often believed to end on December 25, actually begins on the 25th and runs through January 6, culminating with the Feast of Epiphany, or “The Adoration of the Magi.”

~The Puerto Rican Tradition~

Three Kings Day, or Epiphany, is one of the most important holidays on the Puerto Rican calendar. Traditionally, the island, and most of the Latin world, marked the eve of January 6 as the day to exchange presents rather than December 25.

Kids would also gather grass, hay or straw in shoe-boxes for the Magi’s horses or camels — a charming alternative to cookies and milk for Santa. (Traditionally, you’ll find carvings and artwork of the three kings on horses instead of camels; that’s because the country folk in years past didn’t know what a camel was.)

Good kids were rewarded with presents and candy, while bad kids ended up with charcoal or even dirt (which begs the question: How bad do you have to be to get dirt for Christmas?)

Today, children typically get their main presents on the 25th, but there’s always a smaller, humbler, and perhaps even more rewarding gift reserved for Three Kings Day.

~Here are some other facts about Three Kings’ Day~

The kings’ names were Melchior, Gaspar and Balthazar.
They gave Jesus gold, the essential oil frankincense and the resin myrrh.
The kings brought their gifts in vessels called ciboria.
Some children leave hay in their shoes for the kings’ camels to eat. Others leave letters to the kings.
Hispanic communities often serve rosca de reyes on the holiday. It’s a circular fruitcake inside which a small statue of a baby Jesus is hidden. Whoever finds it in their slice either throws a party on Candlemas Feb. 2.

Three Kings’ Day activities often include the singing of aguinaldos or Christmas carols.

The Three Kings are also a mainstay of Puerto Rican arts and crafts. They are among the most popular subjects for the island’s santos, or handmade figurines of saints and other religious persons, and practically every souvenir shop worth its salt will carry some homage to them.

To start the day …. A dream thought unattainable will become reality today!!

~~January 6, 2015~~ 

A very special Three Kings Day … a wish come true! We will be legally married today. What a gift!!

All my life I’ve known that I was different. At the time, I didn’t have a name for it. Now I do.

The name doesn’t make me. It doesn’t define me. It’s part of me … like being left-handed, like having brown eyes, like being a retired doctor. This is a day that I always looked at … way far in the future. This is a day that I didn’t think I would see in my lifetime. This is really happening today. 

I’m marrying the love of my life!

Being someone’s first love and being their last love too, after life happened, is sublime

~From a friend~

“When love has conquered all and has been lived for as long as yours, it only becomes a piece of paper that others will need to recognize and respect. The real value is what you have made of that relationship throughout the years. May you enjoy that happiness for many more.”
