🌙 The Guatemalan Worry Doll Tradition
According to Guatemalan folklore, children whisper their worries to their dolls before bed and tuck them under their pillow. Through the night, the dolls take on those worries — and by morning, they bring the wisdom to face the day with a lighter heart. It's a beautiful tradition, and one that feels just as relevant for grown-ups as it does for little ones.
