The mind, a dormant stone

Dear friends, Juan and I had the opportunity to join the beautiful Poet, Maja Trochimczyk in Venice, California, at the Phoenix House. We were so happy to meet her by the ocean and visit the residents. We read from the No Se Habla Espanol anthology, Edgar Allan Poet Journal #3, and my book, Serious Longing. We connected with so many people during that time. Many came to thank us afterwards. I wanted to share the blog article that Maja wrote on the event; capturing that great time, where we spread love and peace to many. #writeon #soulwork http://poetrylaurels.blogspot.com/2015/09/give-it-all-away-love-and-light-poetry.html

I am trying to stay on top of my list of to-do's. These days, I am not even sure who I am talking to, but I know that I have to push myself to promote my new book... my book, Serious Longing. I take nothing for granted. Nothing. I wanted to be a Poet. I look back and I want to be a Poet. I smile because I realize that I am a Poet. Yep, I am doing things that Poets are doing. Reading, writing, living art, living in a dream many times, it seems... but it's great. I can't forget about me. I have made it. Made it here to reach my goal... I am a published Poet! I am finally here! :) Hoooooooooooorahhhhh! The great news upon that... I am published in PARIS! I wish I could tell you how in love I am with Paris. :) Ahhhh yes. It's wild. A fantasy of love! Thank you, my Gods and Goddesses! Thank you, universe of light!

Hip hip! :) I am sooooooooooooooo happy! http://www.editionsducygne.com/swanworld-serious-longing2.html
