Indigo Lounge just....IS.

To those of you who came to Indigo Lounge on October 18th, thank you so much for your support (Ika you're the greatest)! It was one of those nights were everything flowed together in harmony. I set the tone with the first piece titled "Indigo." I must say, everyone seemed in tune with themselves and their fellow artist. Indigo Lounge is a melting pot of the L.A. art scene at its best. All I can say is, you should've been there! I would like to thank all of the artists who did their thang! A shout out to Blake and his crew from the C.S.U.N music program who jammed hard all night long. Folks are always so amazed on how young and talented these Katz really are. They did an awesome job! This time we really utilized other musicians and singers in addition to the house band and poets. Although an intimate crowd, the vibe was really powerful to say the least. It feels great to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and come to a place surrounded by real talent, positivity, and non-pretentious energy. Overall, it was a colorful evening full of pleasant surprises. Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. This may be one of L.A.'s best kept secrets. And you know what? I like it. Unfortunately and fortunately, Indigo Lounge is going on hiatus due to the holiday season. However, rumor is I may be coming back stronger than ever with a residency at 2nd St. Jazz. Don't sleep. Stay connected!

Dia de Los Muertos

D ia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a colorful festival celebrating the living. In the United States and in Mexico's larger cities, families build altars in their homes, dedicating them to the dead. They surround these altars with flowers, food and pictures of the deceased. They light candles and place them next to the altar. The Aztecs and other Meso -American civilizations kept skulls as trophies and displayed them during the ritual. The skulls were used to symbolize death and rebirth. The Aztecs and other Meso -American civilizations believed that the dead came back to visit during the month long ritual. The natives viewed it as the continuation of life. Instead of fearing death, they embraced it. To them, life was a dream and only in death did they become truly awake. The ritual has evolved to include other cultures like Native Americans and African Americans doing their own dances. This was my third year celebrating this event. Each year Hollywood Forever Cemetery comes ...

Spring Vigilance

Greetings loved ones, This picture reminds me of how connected we are with nature. The tree an extension of myself, helping me stay balanced and grounded. I'd like to share what I've been practicing in order to transform into my better self. Perhaps you will find something helpful that will further your inner journey as well. Practice compassion for those who have separated themselves consciously. Start by forgiving yourself for not being perfect. Love individuals that are difficult to love. Not just particular people, do it without circumstance or demand. Remain vigilant and conscious. Stay present. Be impervious to negativity. Take accountability. Do your inner work. When you know yourself, you trust yourself. The more trust the more self love and self acceptance. Stay connected with nature. I enjoy going to the beach or sitting under a blanket of trees in my garden. Listen to the rhythm of nature. Nature moves with purpose. A vision pulls you forward. Don't...

This was an inspiring weekend for every type of writer who needs a little push. I had fun sharing my poetry with a talented group of Los Angeles poets at the annual LitFest Pasadena.
