The word "SAVIDA" means savor life. It's etymology goes back to Spain, where Sangria originated centuries ago.
Pouring samples of sangria for grocery shoppers is a fun experience because I like to encourage people to use their creativity and garnish the drinks with fresh herbs, chopped fruits, or frozen medleys straight from the freezer section. Sangria is year long as I am concerned; but best enjoyed on a sunny, warm days- quite like the ones that are dwindling away in Chicago right now.
"I found Love"
It's a romantic poem I'm working on, and an artists book. I am taking two Artists Books courses with the expert bookmaker, Sally Alatolo who is also my academic advisor.
So, I got lots of really fantastic projects coming up.
And I will officially be a volunteer for the American Indian Center's revitilization of the Ojibwe tribal language, starting next Thursday, September 27th. I can't wait to start learning the language and participating in teaching the kids the signs and orality. It is not a written language so I'm sure to learn a lot and have a real enriching experience.
*Stay Tuned*
