Epiphanies are openings in the chaotic projection of daily life. They are awakenings to the truth. They are moments of lightning strikes illuminating the field in the haze of our days. Enjoy more grace, more love, and more connection as your inner power comes back online.

AWAKEN: LIGHTNING STRIKES

This beautiful quote from Martha Graham is often on my heart and its energy flows through all my work- “There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.” In the present moment lies the power of now, the electricity of possibilities.

Connect to the electricity of transformation and expression in every moment. Lightening over the lake, some folks call it the lake effect.

REMEMBER: TIME KEEPS ON TICKING

As we appreciate each other, as we know we are our neighbors, that everyone we meet and know is perfect as they are, as we recognize the gifts they are in our lives, as we love, respect and extend them kindness, we experience more kindness and support.

Workers across this country deserve more. Consider the possibility there is another way to be compensated, for health and wealth to stay in the hands of laborers and for love to lead the way. Unions have given workers the 40 hour work week, vacation days, etc. Expect more for your labor. Organize and demand what creates foundational health and wellness and enriches our communities. From Ray Curry, president of UAW in solidarity.... "I urge you to remember all of our striking members this holiday season as they fight for economic justice. Their struggle is about more than the issues in their worksites. With each victory, they raise the standards in our industries which helps all of us. As their union family, we must share solidarity with them this holiday season." Click on the cat picture below for more information.

THOUGHT SHIFTER/MEDICINE

What seems to be the second place is first, for all things we perceive are upside down until we listen to love's voice. It seems that we will gain autonomy but by our striving to be separate, our independence from the rest creation is the way in which salvation is obtained. Our connection to all that is. In practicing the love of all living things, we grow in our stewardship, our decision making and our foundational health and wellness.

Bringing all the energy in solidarity and grace for a new day for workers, for respect, for love, for wages, for profit sharing, for life. In solidarity.

AWAKEN: WE ARE HERE TO LOVE AND CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER

There is a beautiful passage in the Talmud that says every blade of grass has its own Angel bending over it, whispering, “Grow, grow." Every, blade, of grass, has an Angel. Every single one. Each of us needs a cheering squad. Those we go to to save the day and bring us home. "Chewie, we're home." -Han Solo. Find your buddy, appreciate them for all they do in supporting you and your world.

Every year we send a heart art cards to anyone who you think might enjoy getting a handmade card. Over the last several years we've sent out a lot of heart warming art cards. Sometimes requests come in for someone who is ill, or someone who is grieving a recent death or divorce, or maybe someone who is just a bit lonely. Sometimes we are asked to write to a person who is celebrating a birthday, or a person who is far from home, or to a kid who doesn't know the fun of getting a handwritten letter in the mail. Every once in a while, someone will ask me for us to send them some love. If you know of a anyone who might like to get a heart art card, let us know and we will send them a card for the loving month of February.

We are made of love, it is what we are. I AM LOVE is the beginning and ending of every story. The "I AM" statement is a most powerful truth "Be still and know that I am." This is one of the largest tools in the human arsenal emerging to listen to the still quiet voice that has the answers for our highest good.

Includes information on growing food, herbs, plant medicine such as holy basil, our greywater recycling system, soil restoration, compost, compost tea, recycling neighborhood materials and erosion control using vetiver grass. Featuring traditional uses for our native elderberry, which was gifted to us by our Tongva teacher, Lazaro Arvizu Jr. We often work in conjunction with the Hollywood Orchard to harvest, and distribute the food we grow to our members as well as to communities in need. We also host monthly Arts and Ecology Days where people can learn about how plants grow and how ecology functions as well as express their experience in the garden through the arts such as printmaking, sign making, storytelling, and music.
