My cousin Peggy chose to celebrate life.
She truly walked the path of SIMPLICITY.
For twenty-five years, she lived without a car to reduce her carbon footprint.
She promoted causes for a better world. Ceaselessly.
On Saturday, family and friends honored her with a CELEBRATION OF LIFE.
Okay. We DID use a car to get there.
A really really HOT car, owned by a cousin who came from Colorado for the celebration.
Another cousin from Arizona is waving from the passenger seat.
So many people came to honor dear Peggy and celebrate life . . . especially HER life!
Yesterday, my cousin received the Gandhi Peace Award posthumously.
Her biography is on the Gandhi Alliance for Peace site - HERE.
The award ceremony was really amazing.
Beginning with Buddhist monks.
Then, dancers from India.
So young and graceful. So full of vibrancy and color.
I hope to post a decent photo of my tall red-headed cousin - SOON.
In the meantime,
here are two shots (taken last night) with my goddaughters' children.
On the left, Dana's Emma and her foster child Ashawn.
On the right, Paige's Brooklyn and Jude.
I love the way Emma (on the left) is checking me out!

Thanks for sharing this, Ginger. I went to the link and found it fascinating.
So glad you could come!
Your family never ceases to amaze me!d
I owe you a letter. I think, when I look at these pictures, that it is not my job to do everything and embrace everything - that's a strange thought for me, because I find that it seems almost a duty to me to do all the good things and play all the good parts. And I can't. The last two weeks has taught me that. Now, I have to learn to sit quietly and really enjoy being the audience for so many wonderful things.
Your Peggy - amazing woman.
