Can You Handle It?

Thank you for reading my blog! This blog was designed for people to start a dialogue about events, ideas, themes and situations that are out of the norm. It is best to put yourself in as many uncomfortable situations so that you can learn from yourself and others. It is not about judgement, or religion, nor politics. I am not forcing you to believe my ideas. All of us have our opinions and no one is perfect. However, I am challenging you to let the discomfort linger temporarily. Think about  why certain feelings are surfacing and then let it go. At this very moment we need tolerance. The more we understand others, compassion grows. Humanity has already built too many walls based on miscommunication and ignorance. I want to build bridges of understanding and empathy. When we strip away all things we were taught and programmed to believe from birth, can we still make the best decisions for ourselves? Once we decide to do our own individual research through the human experience, will you listen to your heart or just continue to follow the masses? Will you allow yourself to love your neighbor despite sexual orientation, religion, culture and tradition? It takes a stronger person to love rather than hate. I would like to thank you for being a great listener. I have several interesting things I want to share with you. Stay posted!

..and thanks for ordering my zine. Only a few left. Get it here..

I'm Reading at the Craft & Folk Art Museum

The CAFAM Shop is thrilled to introduce a new zine/small press section, curated by L.A. Zine Fest and The Pop-Hop . We're celebrating the launch of the new collaboration Saturday, April 18th, and you're invited. Work from The Blk Grrrl Show , John Pham, Yumi Sakugawa :: Comic Book Artist + Illustrator , Tiny Splendor , and Selfish. This is really exciting for me because I have been a zinester since 2010 with the launch of my Black Punk Rock themed zine "Abstract By Nature." I'll be there representing with the #blkgrrrl show and reciting a few of my poems from my chapbook "Rage Love Complexity."  Very honored to share the stage with Pam Ward and Teka Lark Fleming. I donated books and I will have chapbooks available at the Pop Hop in Highland Park, Ca. See you there, Zoe Blaq

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.
