Good Morning MMR! We hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!
Did you know that Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, was celebrated yesterday, Sunday November 2nd?
It’s a beautiful tradition, honoured in Mexico and many other parts of the world, that celebrates and remembers loved ones who have passed away through art, music, writing, and colourful altars filled with marigolds, candles, and memories of loved ones such as photos.
As we recognize this special day, take a moment to think about and reach out to the people you care about; a small message or act of kindness can go a long way!
