Today marks the 27th anniversary of my beloved Lola Dolores’s passing, and I find myself in Kolkata—a place known for its vibrant energy, resilience, and boundless joy.
It’s the perfect setting to reflect on my grandmother’s life and legacy.
Lola (grandma) embodied her own quiet, unwavering form of clarity, radiating wisdom and strength.
No matter how life tested her, she chose to stay centered.
I watched her navigate challenges that could have easily stirred anger, but she would pause, catch herself, and return to a place of calm resilience.
Of course, I haven’t seen how it was when she’s younger, but yeah, shes’s a big influence in my unfolding.
She wasn’t just a strong character; she was a reminder of the beauty we radiate when we fully embrace who we are.
Reflecting on her legacy, I see now how Lola subtly prepared me for my journey, equipping me with the strength and patience to support others through their own healing.
Her example taught me how to release anger, break old cycles, and choose love, even when it’s hard.
Here in Kolkata, her spirit is a guiding presence as I work with families, reminding me that true healing is a gift we offer not only to ourselves but to those who came before us and to those who will follow.
Kolkata’s essence—a city where joy and resilience are so closely intertwined—mirrors everything Lola stood for.
As I carry her legacy forward, I am inspired by both her strength and the spirit of this place to stay true to my purpose and share the beauty of love and transformation with others.
To anyone whose loved ones have shaped their path, I’d love to hear your stories.
Let’s remember their lasting impact together. 🌿✨
