If you didn’t know, today marks the first day of Dia de Los Muertos- November 1st. I wanted to do a special episode on this particular holiday because it is such a beautiful way to connect and honor loved ones who are no longer with us. I would like to invite you to join me today as we learn about the history and origins of Dia de Los Muertos - Day of the Dead and travel to a town that welcomes in the souls of their loved ones along with a special visit from a fluttering winged friend.
