Hard to believe I will journal a lot here, so many places to write my shit. I did just change my profile pic, trying to inspire myself to post more here. I do check in on everyone else though ;)

Living seems to be all about change and change and again again NEW

so many experiences lived it is difficult to go back in time so I start right here, new walls and ceiling and new kitchen









just floors necessary throughout the house to be complete. Lots of work, but so worth it in the end.

I am hopeful for our new president, Obama, but still have concern for the dollar and all of our financial well being, watched so many freaky youtubes that have scared the shit out of me, but I must put it to faith that me and my family will be led where we need to be in such the time, maybe it is right here on the front, who knows, I am trying to daily let it go and focus on my family and art.

"Community" and my landscapes are keep me sane these days. I am also drawing figure and landscapes with sharpie and then going over with watercolor, loving that expression.

Working on models for sculptures and ideas for an installation. Having fun communicating vital truths to myself.

Peeling back the layers in yoga and transcending past thoughts processes and emotional blockages. I feel that my only salvation through what is happening in the world is to go deeper within and find the parts of myself that are not carnal, but rather the magical symbiosis that can occur in the ethereal.

Calling in a new "live in" because that is vital for this household to run smoothly and happily. It is all working its way to us and I am claiming the midas touch to the entire household so financial freedom can be reality.

Happy November

We are living in crucial times and I am blessed to be a part of NOW

Okay, lame is my ass for not posting an entry since last September. I just got shocked back into reality and all dormant has woke up.


Hi

THANK YOU A BEAUTIFUL EVENING AND MORNING

even if I was hopeless at lyrics
funny because my love for music is immense
but it was the recall
wonder why for me...
I checked out

Loved the laughs

I was so charged last night, so it was 12am and I was like cool, I will wait up and view. Well I had no idea it would be 3am, so David and I slept out on the grass in awe of the moon. I don't think I have ever really watched the entire eclipse. The colors were outstanding and to go from full light to total dim, I can only imagine how the first observers must have felt. They probably thought the world was over and that life as they new it finished and then the reaction when a glimpse of the bright light started to reveal itself again. Truimph.

I am tired but then charged by the phenomenon of the universe.

I know we just treated David great all week. He won a bonus so we took him out shopping for some new duds and he indulged me too (thank you babe utterly cool). We went out to

http://chocolatine.net/

for a romantic dinner held only once a month there. That is how Clementine is living with us today (Its own blog).
Today he did have to go into work, but came home early to eat dinner in the garden. I made homemade tomatoe soup, from toatoes in the garden and grilled ocean safe (OSC) halibut and zuchinni from the garden as well. Living off the land. Beautiful evening.



just beautiful



tomatoes midway through, before the blend

The most delicious ever.

Last blog I was talking about my garden and now I will provide visuals. I have to say I am so blessed to have a space like this. I do give it an hour per day minimum and I work in her pretty much everyday I am home. There is still so much more to grow :)




this photo is from where the firepit area is, which will not be pictured. from here you are under a gaint red pepper tree



take a walk from there to a huge just to flower yellow tea rose
first time I had poppy's come up



along the path, look and you will find, the crazy rose, I swear, just 100 off one climber



my flowering orchid at this time




and hopefully these various types will share their beauty with us



I forgot to mention the iris, they are so beautiful and
appreciate the vantage down the 3 planter boxes



turn around behind you and there is my vegtable and herb garden
MAGIC



turn around and check out the area from this view



look at the yummy fruit: 2 nectarine, 1 apricot, 2 figs, 1 blood orange,
avacado (although has to be 10+ to bear fruit), blackberry grove and
3 fruiting mullberry trees.



look through the tree and you will find, Blackberry hill cafe, where
I just planted a Japanese Maple and some scottish moss


and of course the most beautiful flower in the garden on her
first birthday



my retreat when I have the time to relax, which I force myself, even for a few minutes
my life has never been so full and alive
I am truely blessed

If I were to get up to date, I would be writing an awuful long time. So much is happening, but for starters my garden is a paradise and I am excited for yet another addition, ginger. At present there are probably 200 roses flowers in blossom. I have 10 different varieties of Roses and they are all going off. Some smell lemony, some smell super sweet, some are so fragrant, I wish I could keep my nose in it all day long. The beauty of Roses is that the longer they mature, the more full and condensed the flowers become.

I have hundreds of apricots buds on one tree, the nectarine is also so plump with fruits I wonder how the branches will stay strong when they start ripening. I have created a hill with blackberries which I call Blackberry hill. I have 4 different types of jasmine, some have already bloomed and others just starting. I was just given 10 orchids, 4 different varieties. The geraniums are going off, the colors are melting my mind. The grape vines are just starting to climb there way up the arbor to create shade for the summer.

My garden has heirloom tomatoes making there flowers for fruit, an arthicoke, chard that looks like a bush it is so happy, asparagus, for the first time, we will see what happens, basil, cilantro, dill, sage, rosemary, parsely and mint. I have zuchinni, butternut squash, cucumbers, watermelon and just about to build a pumpkin patch for halloween. Lots of fresh eating.

We are just about to put up the pool for lots of summer fun. Celemtine, from France will be here before I know it.


Coachella was absolutely incredible and all I can say is that the consciousness of people is naturally elevating. When you are at a festival where you can feel the mass energy collective, it is undeniable.

Starting new art project, 72 canvases. I better stop blogging and get stretching.

Still shaking. Dave and I bought the house. I was just declared official. We own this home. I love it, in fact this morning we took the acoustic ceiling off in our bedroom. Wow, Wow, Wow. We owe 1/2 a million dollars. Fun Lots of work ahead, but finally we get to reap both the headaches and the rewards.

My life is taking a turn in a productive direction. I have been working for a woman whom had a stroke 3 weeks ago. This has been an intense experience for me on about 5 different levels. I have seen a friendship get so deep so fast, I really miss her when we don't speak on the phone. I am appaulled at our health care system, how ashamed alot of people should be. Utterly disgusting. I am not going there because it will spoil the few breif moments I come to journal.

I am excited at where my art is going. It looks very favorable that a gallery @ Bergamont will be taking my work. I am up for doing a LA red line Metro station wall. I proposed a 64 piece called "Community". The best part is, I keep the originals and work with a fabricator to make the piece on tiles. 200 square feet baby. So keep fingers crossed on that.

Relationship with David is grand and the mortgage on the house is about to go through. What a committment, but it is right.

Just to keep me going, I don't sleep much anymore.

I haven't been here in forever. That is writing a post. I do come and check out my friends. Think with the add on of the new two, I am working all the time and I have to give something up and fill that space with new projects. I have not forgotten where I came from though. It was right here I started my true internet experience. I do miss this. I find myself hitching on MySpace more often and to be honest this is somehow more real.

Life is great and l welcome the new season. I love the wind.

I have been hit which much inspiration and am about to explode with new opportunities.

Poof!
