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.
One of the best things happened to me! I was able to fullfill a bucket list dream which was to put on a community Music and Cultural Festival. Although there is room for improvement I can honestly say it was the best decision I have made this year. It takes support of family and friends to keep me motivated and pushing towards my goals and vision. I am grateful. There will be more festivals curated by me in the on going years. The world is as good as you make it. Stay focused, stay positive and set your intention. Please do yourself a favor and research the historic relevance of "Black Palm Springs" in the 1920's during Jim Crow. This annual festival is not just about having a good time it's about historical awareness in underserved communities. Come out next year for free camping, free swimming, yoga, live music and community! Find us on Facebook: Val Verde Music and Cultural Festival
