Each year in December this already-amazing historic site in Jemez Springs adds to its wonder with farolitos and luminarias, Jemez Pueblo dancers and traditional music. #NewMexicoTrue #NMTrue

Coffee is an everyday part of so many lives, but how much do you really know about it? A decades-old Albuquerque specialty coffee roasting company offers the opportunity to test and taste coffee like a professional, including the process professionals use called "cupping." And of course you get an education about coffees from around the world. #RedRockRoasters #NewMexicoTrue #NMTrue

Taos, New Mexico has its own version of normal. And that means Hotel Luna Mystica fits in perfectly. This isn't a hotel in the traditional sense, since the rooms are vintage trailers. But those trailers are retrofitted to a level of luxury far beyond the family camping experience. Oh, and they sit on the Taos Mesa with stunning views. #NewMexicoTrue #NMTrue

Yolanda, who prefers just Yoli, learned about a community need in Las Cruces the hard way. When her father was diagnosed and ultimately died of lung cancer Yoli found there were few resources available to assist both the cancer patient and the patient’s family. Her son is now a cancer survivor, giving her another hard lesson in the stress and burdens of dealing with the disease. Yoli is now president of CARE, Cancer Aid Resource and Education. CARE is not about research or medical care, but rather about helping patients and their families deal with all that comes with a diagnosis. That can range from emotional support to financial support for things like transportation to treatment, lodging or groceries. Since 2009 the all-volunteer operation has raised more than $600,000 to help those dealing with cancer face the burdens with dignity and courage. #NewMexicoTrue #NewMexicoTrueHEROES #NMTrue
