Smell the flowers.

I am pruning my garden. The rain is gone and the days are starting to feel like spring.
The citrus trees all around my house are blooming. My plants are standing tall at the command of the sun. This year I am going to try my luck with Japanese cucumbers, yellow peppers, thyme and peppermint. The chest is filled with precious gifts from mother nature, organic soil I have been cultivating all year long. I am also going to grow upside down this summer. Sounds funny, I know. I'll post pictures soon.
Remember, life is really not as serious as we believe it to be, and when we recognize this fact, it responds by giving us more play time. The moment you start seeing that life is a celebration all burdens will disappear. Keep practicing.
I heard if you want the fairies to protect your garden all you have to do is ask. I'll let you know if I see one :)

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...
