Personal Reflections an Art show

I have the pleasure of curating an art show called

"Personal Reflections; Honoring Black Women in Art"

Rock Rose Gallery has Invited me to put together a group show for Black History month and the beginning of Women's month. I am also exhibiting my own mixed media art "Forest Angel" and "Self Reflection."

The intention is to honor the multi faceted talents that we are born with as natural creators and healers. The intent is to honor our ancestors, ourselves and future artists to come.

I want us to remember our powerful raw energy that we carry around with us. When we are open to expressing ourselves freely without limitations, love is our guide. The exhibit will express the constant unfoldment of new experiences that lead to creativity. It's about the beginning of an idea. It's about that tingly feeling that gives you energy, movement, life.

The exhibit will be up February 21st through March 2nd.

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 ...

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.

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...
