Louise, I love the bits and pieces you share about your beloved Irish culture. And after these last few years you’ve got me feeling a little Irish myself! I truly hope all of your St. Brigid Day plans come to be--it sounds lovely and fun. Thanks for your love, support, encouragement, and for always lighting a candle for us and saying a prayer. You are the best! Happy New Year, Lou! xx

☘️🐞💚🙏🕯🦋🫶🇮🇪🌈 Thank you so much Louise for bringing St Brigid to the forefront of my thoughts and memories. I do recall in my home as I grew up the cross was visible, no doubt a tradition handed down from my granny. I’m proud of my Irish heritage and thirst for interesting facts, historical events, music, dance and stories associated from where I come from. ☘️🐞💚🙏🕯🦋🫶🇮🇪🌈

As you travel around Ireland, on your Granny Nancy tour may you be blessed and inspired by St Brigid to keep the faith and your little light to shine for all who come in contact with you. Good night Louise. God Bless, love you lots. ☘️🐞💚🙏🕯🦋🫶🇮🇪🌈
