Prayers to the heavens for Poetic Lives!

I've had the most amazing poetic journey...soul hours...hours of growth -- delivering the word and living up to it I feel so blessed and so happy to live the life that I have.
In a whirlwind of travel Juan and I have truly unleashed truth -- in magnitudes we'd never imagine reachable... all in the name of POETRY

From the beautiful open hills of Petaluma -- for the California Poets in the Schools retreat at IONS (Institute of Noetic Sciences) which was the rebirth long needed, and in meeting new friends and soul mates of the same spirit and passion to teach our youth and aid them in their paths to positivity & creativity!!! To all the Poet Teachers -- I am HONORED to breathe beside you!





























From this wonderful experience, we made it back to our creative home, our ROCK, Beyond Baroque -- to the arms of a FULL CROWD of SoapBox Poets celebrating the work of the beautiful and FIERCE Poet Alexis Fancher... and it doesn't stop there.




 What a homecoming. What a beautiful community of risk takers and truth tellers who will NEVER be silenced! I am proud to live in your space... and then, an epic CLIMAX of literary celebration: Library Girl's 5th Year Anniversary, the vision of Susan Hayden selflessness and joy! A healing journey that has healed WORLDS of people -- thank you, Susan!

I just can't fathom all the intense details: sitting in the pews, alongside Richard Modiano and S.A. Griffin -- both pioneers and literary troublemakers whom I respect and look up to... being adopted by Punk Hostage Press with all the POETRY BADASSES hand-picked by our sexy ringleader Iris Berry and A. Razor -- the holiest of holies couldn't be any holier. Yes, this is life. A happy one.


Thank you to this universe -- Pacha Mamma... my partner in crime... I am satisfied.

I'm heading to the Moon!

     Since I was a little girl, I was in love with wind, the land, and the proximity of the moon. Her glowing face shed just enough grace to soothe my tears in its quiet light.  I felt the depth of her passion, her longing, her loneliness, her strength. I sought the eyes of her face; along with their color, and holding smile. She traced me along the footprint I patted down; little girl beating brown; a tiny hand of mud.

Ways You Can Support 💜 Dear Friends, As I navigate some meaningful transitions this season, I’m reaching out with gratitude and humility. If you feel called to support, here are a few ways your kindness could truly help me and my little family right now: Help us get to León (August 14–21) so the kids and I can spend our birthday week together with loved ones. Contribute to our August rent — a little breathing room would mean a lot. Share resources or curriculum for advanced elementary studies — I’m homeschooling! Help me enroll in an advanced Spanish class. Support with vehicle tag renewal costs. Haircuts for the kiddos. New clothing for the little ones — they grow so fast! Help organizing and decluttering at home. Let me know if your address can be a reliable business address for LAPS correspondence. Let me know if you have a safe space to store a few treasured keepsakes from the kids’ (and my) childhood. Help us host a community birthday c...
