BBQ FOR BOOBS REVIEW

BBQ FOR BOOBS was hype last Sunday! This event was a benefit for breast cancer awareness at The Joint in Los Angeles. Rhythm Natives set the tone with a solid set that got the crowd moving. They took hip hop and reggae to another level! Don't sleep on this band, look them up and catch them on tour. It was an action packed night of strong sets one after another. Mahi Gato, Black Party Politics, Punk Funk Mob and Dead Brain Burockracy kept the energy notch at 100. It was a mix of punk, funk, hip hop, reggae, rock, and alternative at its best!

As the bands performed legendary surfer, William L. Lamar screened his skate and surf videos. Check out his documentary "Soul on a Wave" and stop by his skateboard/surf shop Planet Maple in Los Angeles.

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.

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.

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...
