Eyes Milagro Fiesta Medal 2019 by Denise OjedaThe Eyes Milagro Fiesta Medal 2019 by Denise Ojeda is one of the most sweet medals that I was able to help bring to life this year. You may remember Denise from her Hand and Heart medal of 2018. We returned to the Milagro theme but with a new focus.

Not having clear vision made it impossible for her to work, and at Denise's request

The Eyes Milagro Fiesta Medal 2019 by Denise Ojeda is one of the most sweet medals that I was able to help bring to life this year. You may remember Denise from her Hand and Heart medal of 2018. We returned to the Milagro theme but with a new focus. 

Denise chose the Eyes because of a very personal story with her mother who was a hairdresser and slowly lost her sight. Not having clear vision made it impossible for her to work, and at Denise's request she went in to see a doctor who operated and helped restore her sight. But he did even more—he counseled Denise's mom to get treatment on her diabetes and set her on a path to better health. Even though Denise had tried to talk to her mom about this for awhile, it was this man who led to that breakthrough.

There are other symbols in this medal as well. Denise and her mother love cactus—her mom has found memories of eating nopales (cactus) with her grandmother. And Denise remembers her grandma showing her how to peel the fruit and take out the splinters. Interestingly, after doing some more research, I discovered that the cactus flower is a symbol of maternal love “because it can endure and thrive in harsh conditions and therefore symbolic of a mother’s unconditional love.”

There are four ants climbing around the prickly pears—they are very hard to see but they are there—and they symbolize Denise, her son, her mom and her grandmother. The ants are there because they have a family saying (which is printed on the back), “¡Dios te bendiga, pansa de hormiga!” translated as “God bless you, ant tummy!” Additionally, the ants symbolize hard work and building community, something important to Denise.

Through 2020, one dollar from every sale was donated to the SAISD Foundation as a Teacher's Grant for Coach Tamiko Matthews. Denise says that Coach Matthews goes above and beyond for her students and athletes, often purchasing additional supplies and toiletries for her students—the money raised can help defray that cost. Coach Matthews is a woman who is intelligent and charismatic and could have chosen any career. Her choice was to be a teacher at SAISD to inspire and empower Denise's community and families through sports and education.

Great book!!
Format: Paperback
I absolutely LOVED this book! There is a thoughtful process to how it it laid out, while giving you the interesting bits of history - the ones that really made a difference. Greece was a civilization unto itself, and the accomplishments that were undertaken were massive. From buildings, to history, philosophy, conquests and so much more - there is something for everyone in this book! Get to know the Ancient Greeks like never before!

Ancient Greece: the progenitor for modern day civilization
Format: Kindle
This enthralling text explores Ancient Greece from its Bronze age origins to its capitulation under the Roman Empire. Furthermore, it emphasizes the long-reaching impact this heterogeneous collection of city-states had on political, scientific, mathematical, philosophical, architectural, and military development. All of this was accomplished in spite of constantly shifting intra-regional conflict between Athens, Thrace and Sparta. Outside enemies like the Persian empire only complicated relations further. This sibling rivalry-of-sorts evolved when Alexander the Great's Macedonian empire conquered the Greek world and supplanted itself in the greco-persian conflict. While Macedonia's did embroil the internecine conflicts in the area they hellenized the regions they conquered, including: Persia,Egypt, and parts of India. However, when Alexander the Great died it left a power vacuum exploited by his men, the Romans, and the Ancient Greeks. This ultimately resulted in the Roman Empire. Ancient Greece set the stage for roman empire and while they were an autonomous union of city-states for much of their existence two things united them: their language and religion. These two cultural touchstones united these city-states as brothers, albeit with a love-hate relationship at times. This text explores the archaic,classic, and hellenic periods of Greek history in a fascinating and concise manner. It is a must-read.

Enlightening
Format: Paperback
I discovered a number of interesting things reading this book. I learned for example, that Sparta was indeed a warrior city, with men training to be soldiers from an early age and living in barracks, even when they were married. This and the death rate from fighting led to a low birth rate and their eventual demise. I also discovered that athletes in the original Olympics did indeed compete naked and that making a false start to a race was not a good idea, as people who did that were executed! I also learned that there were Greeks who believed the Earth was round and that it circled the sun, hundreds of years before Copernicus. I also discovered that the various Greek factions, (e.g. Athens, Sparta, Macedonia etc.) seemed to be constantly fighting one another). I knew that Alexander the Great built a massive empire but did not realize the extent of that empire until I read this tome. I also discovered that Aristotle was a student of Plato, who in turn was a student of Socrates Overall, it was a very enlightening read where I gathered all sorts of interesting facts
