OCCUPY LOS ANGELES

Saturday morning at Pershing Square I met up with thousands of protesters in hopes for CHANGE THROUGH SOLIDARITY. It was an amazing feeling to be surrounded by love, peace and unity. Some ask, "why are people in the streets?" People are marching for human rights. Everyone in this country should have the basic necessities like a place to live, a job and health insurance...the basic needs to raise their family. I am fighting for our educational system. Big corporations are putting more money into celebrity TV programs and fancy sport centers while several schools are closing down and teachers are being laid off.  What about the future of our children?  in addition to a long list of things, I am also fighting for a better environment and spreading the word about self sufficiency. Grow your own food and/or start a community garden.  They are injecting our foods with additives and preservatives to keep us addicted to medications. This movement is about shifting into a consciousness for all humanity.  This movement is about shifting into an awareness that all of us need to work together in order to strengthen the whole. We can no longer live in a fantasy world and think that everyone has the same opportunities only because you have a job and they do not.  Life situations can come up at any given time.  Sometimes those circumstances will determine your health, your job, your sanity. WE MUST HAVE COMPASSION FOR OTHERS. This march is not about hoodlums and uneducated trouble makers in the streets.  It is not about wanting a hand out. I saw thousands of  families and individuals who were living in tents unemployed-with college  degrees. A lot of these same people have been out of work for 3 or more years and can't even get a job at McDonalds. I marched with people of all ages, colors, and backgrounds. This march was occupied with people who had jobs and those who did not.  The 99% are the people who make up America. The 99% work for big corporations and the 99% buy from big corporations. Without the 99% the 1% would not be making billions. There are now protests all over the world. People are asking, "why?"  THE WORLD IS FIGHTING FOR HUMAN RIGHTS.  Do your research and stop watching the news. Start with raw documentation from youtube or looking at pictures like the ones I am sharing from my experience. Most of all READ BOOKS. The media has a way of making you see what they want you to see.  People are asking, "what is the agenda?" The agenda is to stay proactive. The agenda is to stay strong in the name of solidarity. BEING PROACTIVE BRINGS AWARENESS. AWARENESS BRINGS CHANGE. Just imagine if people like Martin Luther King did not stand up for your human rights.

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

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 to the co

Nudity, Empowerment and Simplicity

This is an awesome picture from a Los Angeles event called "Naked Desert." It is an invite only- annual event for photographers and nude models in the middle of the desert. The theme is, Celebrating the Diversity of the Human Body. I was honored to be the first person (ever) to film this event, as it all magically unfolds. I made a documentary about this unbelievable experience. I am in post production. I would love to screen it soon. Please feel free to donate to Piddle Productions [there is a link to the right] so that I can continue to give you cutting edge entertainment for the soul, open mind and free spirited. Due to popular demand the play WOMBAN is coming back to a theatre near you in Los Angeles! As you all know Womban did its first run in June. As the Stage Manager it was hard work, but with everyones commitment and dedication it became such an uplifting and humbling experience for everyone involved. If you did not get a chance to see it please come out this t
