Halloween 2025

The past few days at work presented an opportunity to feel some levity and engage in some wholesome fun.  Particularly today, there was a lot of laughter when employees dressed as their favorite character and paraded before a panel of judges to compete against each other.  It definitely wasn’t for the prizes (candy, & little pumpkins), but we all needed this little boost as we close out October and move into November.

I have enjoyed decorating my office with some fall decor.  My office door is colorful with a little fall wreath surrounded by a little Mexican influence of the garland.

Last year, I painted the double pumpkins, and this year, I  painted a smaller pumpkin with an impish look.

This year, I was Frida Kahlo again.  She is my very favorite artist because she inspired strength, courage, and the pain she endured throughout her life.  She painted mostly self-portraits.  She said she knew herself better than anyone else.

Frida overcame so many obstacles but remained true to herself.  She lived a short life, but one that has never been forgotten.  I want to be like Frida.

Happy Halloween!  I hope your treat bag was filled with your favorite candy.
