Course Description

A book that speaks of being safe, protected and always welcome.

Who makes you feel at home? Who makes you feel loved, safe and protected? This course is about honoring that person (or persons) that is so special and unique in our lives..For me it was the love of my life, my late husband Luis also known as Zito or Matchito. When I met him I felt immediately I was home…this feeling always remains till today.

This course is about love and you will hear me repeating love many times over the course which I only realized when I was editing how many times I repeated love in every step of the making.

Being grateful and blessed, we will create an artist book with many details about what we all share and long for… To love and be loved

I know you will enjoy the process
Who makes you feel at home?
Abraço from Matchito and Matchita (nickname for Luis and me )
