My family is very environmentally friendly, which comes from my parents’ childhood. Growing up in Mexico they had to utilize all the resources around them. In the world we live what we call recycling and compost are other peoples’ lifestyles because they can’t afford to waste resources. My mom loves plants, so much so that she believes they have feelings. Sounds insane to most people but I believe that we can give them purpose and value. The flowers presented in front of me are orchids which are my mom’s favorite flowers and these specific ones were a gift from me to my mom for mothers day. My mom is the most important person in my life because I wouldn’t be here without her and she is the only person I come to when I need a shoulder to lean on. I wanted an aspect of her on my website and this month’s photo blog had the best opportunity for me to do so.
