A Reflection from Mary Reichter

By chance, I was born in the United States. My grandfather immigrated from Mexico in 1921. I could have been a Mexican citizen. I am truly blessed to live in a country where anything is possible and that has so much. I take a lot for granted sometimes. I hope to keep my awareness and gratitude for all I have in the forefront of my mind each day.

I create art on a daily basis and I thought I would not be able to in El Salvador. Not the case. I was able to get supplies and create. I also found objects to create with, rocks and bottle caps. It was a hoot to see what I could do with markers, bottle caps and rocks, oh and don't forget the white fingernail polish.
