November 1st and 2nd is when “Dia de los muertos” is traditionally celebrated in Mexico. If you have a blog, would you join me in posting something about someone who you love, or someone whose life has guided you who is no longer in this world. If you like using art to express your self you could make an icon, or a collage or painting about this person. For more ideas see this blog.

I’ll be participating in The Day of the Dead this year by going to the Day of the Dead walk, and going to the play “La Carpa del maestro” put on by the extraordinary Miracle Theater/Teatro Milagro. I’ll also be participating in the Thrill the World, but doing the zombie dance from Thriller is not really what I call honoring the dead.

Another blogging idea: If you are interested in blogging or networking about social issues that pertain to human trafficking and slavery, make an account with One Voice To End Slavery ning site.
