My Next Big Project


I'm so excited about this year because so many good things seem to be happening to me. I've made the right decisions (on my own) and ended up with the best thing that could have happened to me, Indigo Lounge. It all started with an idea, Carolyn and I planted a seed and it has flourished tremendously. I am so thankful for all of the on going support we continue to receive. I've really been able to reflect on who I feel my true friends are and what it means to be a true friend. I really do believe that people enter your life for different reasons and I am grateful that I am connecting with true souls who understand me as much as I understand them. I will never forget my experiences working in the "hollywood" entertainment world and I can not deny learning a lot from being part of that environment. However, I can honestly say, I am content with being an independent artist. My family and friends wonder why I didn't strive to become this big hollywood writer because I was more than half way there. My family and friends often are puzzled that I didn't just stay a "shrink" for the rest of my life. Personally, I have always wanted to use my talents and education in an alternative way. It's not just about winning an Oscar or Grammy. I don't want to be that person absorbing people's dysfunctional energy just to get "paid." it's about challenging minds, exploring ideas, and building awareness. I am a humanitarian. I am a psychotherapist. I am an Artist. Some people get me, some people try to get me and some people will never get it and I am okay with that. I have been challenged by my own fears, which keeps me pushing forward. Speaking of music, I have a song on a soundtrack of a film called "Queerer Than Thou." It's been in 12 film festivals internationally and I am so blessed to be part of this comical, thought provoking film. And although my family doesn't always support me the way I want them to, I still feel a sense of contentment. I have a short film coming out called " Abstract By Nature" and I've been working on the soundtrack. I've dabbled in music, but I have never seriously completed a full-length CD. I am happy, excited and thrilled to share it with everyone who dares to listen. I call it my spicy-happy-treat. Stay tuned! I leave you with my rockstar pic because I feel a bit "rockstar" today. lol.

Show Up For Your Real Life

Greetings Loved Ones!!  The year is almost coming to a close. It's been a year of self reflection and a test of true sacrifice. When we leave ourselves open to possibilities there is no telling what will meet us half way. Energy will shift and new creation is born. I have always surrounded myself with humble and gracious individuals that give me the motivation to reach further. However, It felt amazing to unplug from the big city and tune into self in a small country setting. We can not be our best if we do not "check in" with ourselves from time to time.  I enjoy performing, producing and guest speaking but this year I declined all invitations so that I could dedicate my time to self development.    Without calculation, I took the time to pamper myself through gardening, writing, meditation, and self love. The true test and personal journey was using my inner guide to keep me grounded, aware and secure about my choices and who I have become.  I have come...

Dancing in the rain...

The Dalai Lama tells us to stop expecting life to be easy. Life is full of suffering and is ultimately unsatisfying; The only way to be happy is to train your mind to want less and to train your mind to penetrate the ultimate reality. I am rolling into the year with new hope and ideas. I have been invited to be one of the inspirational speakers at the L.A. Union Workers, "Womens Month Program." I am excited and nervous, but it feels good to be part of a great cause. My dreams have been vivid and seem to be telling me stories of my past. I've been writing like maddd. I feel the birth of a new poem! I've also been invited on a poetry performance tour at the end of the year. I'll have to string you along before I tell you my biggest project of the year. So stay connected. Indubitably, Indigo Lounge is going to be delightful on February 7th. The line up is SSicK! Join us for love and Black History Month. Get in contact with me if you would like to perform. We do th...
