just notes

happy first day of spring! happy five year anniversary of the iraq war! happy happy happy!

i am back from a great trip to dallas. my clients are kind and generous, the weather was wonderful, and my pottery friends konrad and wes were a delight. we went to the dallas museum of art and saw the turner exhibit. if you have not seen it, go online to find out how you can. i did feng shui on my clients home, garden, and business office ~averting ultimate disaster, of course. we shopped for art and we shopped for clothes. and we had a couple fabulous dinners.

i arrived home to do last minute feng shui consultations in los angeles... and am now back on schedule with my busy season officially over. phew!

jack is complaining i never write in my blog. i think he just wants me to talk about him! jack jack jack... actually, he might be the only person who actually reads this...

website progress is tedious, frustrating, and laborious ~nothing seems to get done... but i did just get the largest order of my spiritual remedies ever! so something is working!

art projects are equally stagnant. i havent been able to work with jessica, my film editor, in over a month. linda clothes is taking a break from sewing the inserts for the body of water handmade books. and all of this was supposed to be done december 1 of last year!

i am going to have to do an unblocking spell. maybe i should do one for the war also...

last week, this week, next week, and beyond

two feng shui workshops in la and one in the bay area ~ all were great with full attendance and great groups of people. everyone appreciated the information very much. i will go to dallas next week for private feng shui consultations.

i was asked to show my short films for an event in berkeley in may... national dance week, i will show in the lobby between three dance studios, hopefully premiering a new dance movie called "in the river" featuring touch monkey studio, carolyn stuart and patrick gracewood. details still need to be worked out but im excited about the event.

progress is being made on "body of water"... the paintings are being applied to the covers of the handprinted booklets; the portfolio inserts are being sewed by linda clothes, a hollywood costumer; and im hoping to make final corrections to the film with jessica tomorrow. maybe one day this project will be completed!

tomorrow is bobs birthday. friday is dorothy and marys birthdays. lunches, dinners, and breakfasts will be monopolizing the rest of the week...

visiting my daughter on sunday, the traffic was bad and i took a different street across the length of san pedro and passed the last trees we planted with tree people a few months ago. the one named "hadley" after my daughter was in distress: its stake had been broken by the strong winds and was weighing on the young tree to the point of bending it over. when i got to my daughters house at the ocean, jennifer, hadley and i got some rudimenatry implements to temporarily assist the tree. later i emailed the supervisor of the project regarding the situation.

after tree triage, we went to the korean bell to fly a 99 cent store barbie kite. there were other kite flyers and basketball players and picnicers and lovers and the parking was scarce. i parked illegally. after a few adjustments, barbie took off and attacked a three-dimensional shark kite. its owner was very understanding. the bi-plane kite took its cue and retreated. barbie ruled the skies! it was a lovely day but short-lived: i had appointments and meditation class and had to head home.

the feng shui for the year foretells good fortune in writing and the arts... im happy to accept it all!
