You don't need another new year to smell the roses

We can't change the world. We are the world that needs a change. Strive to keep your mind, body and spirit balanced. The more we practice being centered the better we can help our neighbors. Imagine a ripple effect of goodness covering the earth.

Do not be an anticipant- someone who sits back anticipating for something good to happen. You have to participate in order to evolve.

A person who identifies with doubt can get lost in contentment. Doubt and excuses are worldly illusion made by the ego.

Society is uncomfortable with emptiness, it sees it as a void.

Society suspects that gaining as much as you can will bring value and happiness.

Be simple. Take only what you need. Like quality friendships and wholesome foods.

Loss is the doorway to connection.

Let go...

We don't need the new year for new beginnings. Transformation starts every morning when you have a chance to start over.

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.
