blog slog

well i havent had a chance to blog in awhile...

the body of water film should be done on wednesday ~ im so happy... the handmade book still needs a little more assembly...

the application to premiere the body of water film in australia is going fine...

am working on house of my heart... still in the writing phase...

writing a small feng shui book ~ should be very useful to people ~ hoping to get it done quickly...it can be updated easily in the future...

havent been able to get to gallery and museum shows ~ just too busy...

and elizabeth hasnt been able to work for me ~ her other clients have had greater needs...

and big jeanne, well i havent gotten a decent days work from her in i-dont-know-how-long!!! but she is coming later today to help with some spiritual remedies before she goes for surgery tomorrow... its always about her isnt it?!!!

i have seen a little of phil donahue talking about his new documentary on the iraq war... he should run with ted turner for the presidency! now that would get me interested in politics. poor obama has had to sell his soul to officially be a good man. now i feel bad for him. politics is the devil, like walmart, ebay, and tomatoes.

millie and i had a long-awaited date to go to amoeba records to look for music. i have been craving piano and erik satie, john cage, and thelonius monk will feed me for awhile. millie got sufi and soul music and we were pleased with our evening.

i havent had time to be much more interesting... either here or there! some day you will get a proper blog!

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...

humanity is overrated

i have been out of town for over a week, in the san francisco area for an antiques show, staying with friends. the show was not great but the friends were. we did not sell much and most of what was sold went to dealers, the serious and sophisticated customers from the bay area being all but absent. the friends i stay with near berkeley have a baby whom i call "coconut" who is now almost 1 1/2 years old and smart as a whip. she comprehends and communicates better than i do. the weather was pleasant and crisp and except for the morning fog that caused the hundred-car pile-up, it was the perfect beginning to autumn. returning to los angeles, however, was cold and gloomy. its all about perspective! there were many emails to answer but none from people affected by the recent fires, the only orders for spiritual remedies were unrelated to tragedy. finland had a terrible event today: a sad and beautiful boy took a handgun to high school and killed the principal and seven others before killing himself. he had announced his intention on u-tube... this is reminiscent of the virginia tech tragedy and im sure the heart of america will go out to finland. at both the finnish high school (jokela high school in tuusula finland) and virgina tech university, the gunmen were upset with society. they were disenchanted with the superficiality of modern life and unable to justify our existence. were they dark misguided prophets? its all about perspective. reality television and tabloid journalism drain the light from your soul. and maybe these boys couldnt see in the dark. i understand that disenchantment... and i keep squinting... returning to my friends home after a long day of nobody appreciating my antiques and decorative arts, the coconut greeted me at the door. i said, "you have a bat on your shirt" and she looked at her shirt and pointed to the holloween bat and said, "i do have a bat on my shirt. and look at you!" sometimes you dont have to look far to see that humanity is very underrated.

save yourself

yesterday at the seventh day adventist vegan restaurant the romanian woman who cooks guessed my age as 28. i told her she was right. she said she knew it was true because she had a son who was 28 so she saw what that looked like everyday. she also said i was calm. with the recent full moon and eclipses and retrograde planets going direct, nobody seems calm. my students and clients have been downright crazy. maybe its a lifetime of meditation (i have clients who have been with me for years and still cant find their way to a class); maybe its my diet (if you dont eat things with an asshole, maybe you wont be one); maybe its my spiritual healing work (which has saved my life and others on many ocassions) ~ but i always hear from people about the calmness around me (people dont comment as much specifically about youthfulness because they just assume im young). so heres my philosophy: if you want your life to change, change yourself. if you want to be calmer, younger, brighter DO SOMETHING about it. if you are crazy, read my book eating God. if you arent crazy, read my book eating God. if you want to improve yourself in any way, read my book eating God. if your body doesnt feel right, change your diet and exercise patterns (eat something green for godssake, do a little yoga) ~ these pertain to the body. if your mind doesnt feel right, get into a meditation class (or play chess or do crosswords) ~ these pertain to the mind. if your life doesnt feel right, work on releasing your karma (through spiritual remedies and healing work, meditation, feng shui, etc etc etc) ~ this pertains to your life. this pertains more to your life than anything else. this is the purpose of your life. start now. today. its never too late to be fabulous. its never too late to be 28!

what a day

yesterday everyone showed up at the house. even though i work until late, it seems important to people that they call me early. and then show up. by the early afternoon, i had had six people through the house and a dozen phone calls and i needed to lie down for a nap! my assistant had a nap on the couch and then we made spiritual remedies into the evening. after that i worked on manuscripts until late, alternating the computer with television and telephone. and this morning it all started again. bright and early. i am busy all the time but it seems like there is always more... and the phone is ringing... who wants to rub my feet?

independence day

happy fourth of july! i was up early and on the roof of the house doing some major feng shui work. beto is still there in the heat finishing it. i think about independence and how it can become "disconnection" if your soul is lazy... if your heart is lax... it is hard work to not be lazy! i will make a batch of spiritual remedies today before going to the firework festivities ~the remedies are for some clients who are not lazy, who are not disconnected. and if i get off my butt and make them, my wonderful assistant elizabeth will deliver them tomorrow. independence is intertwined with dependence ~and that is the joy of it!
