Isabella Freedom: The ‘Coolest Mf’ is Coming this Christmas
Tags: Los Angeles, Christmas, Music

On December 24th, Christmas Eve, people everywhere can expect more from the long-awaited holiday as Los Angeles artist Isabella Freedom is set to release her single and music video titled the Coolest Mf for everyone to witness.

But what, or who, exactly is that Coolest Mf? Isabella shares her story on how she worked to release her single and what was her inspiration behind it.

A Song of Praise

Isabella is an L.A. artist who’s originally from Finland and is working her way to release her newest single: The Coolest Mf.

“Last year I had a revelation and got saved by Jesus and can not be quiet about it. I’m so grateful for the realization that we are children of God and powerful beyond words,” she said.

Her new single is actually a testimony of her praise for the life-changing revelation that she had.

“I’m the coolest Mf I know since Jesus will back it up and He is the coolest of them all,” Isabella said.

She started working on this track last Christmas and has worked with producer and studio musician Noah Hernandez, as well as others who have made her journey to releasing her single possible.

“Rolake Ashiru, Elizabeth Pye is singing harmonies, and Mykaela Cole, Dominique Maxey is the Angel Warriors in the music video filmed by Howard Reyes and edited by me. The Coolest Mf is the last song I’ll be releasing from my first EP, Rock’n’Soul, and is a true milestone for me,” the L.A.-based artist said.

Looking Forward to Next Year

Even though she’s looking forward to releasing her newest single this Christmas Eve, Isabella still has a lot in store for the coming year.

“I’m working on a visual art project that’s parallel with the music’s storytelling and I’ve also dived into producing. Key goals is an EP produced in my own studio and more collaborations,” the artist said.

Up until now, she has mostly shared songs about empowerment. In the next year, she’s ready to reveal a little more about her quite secretive love life.

How to the Coolest Mf There is

Already considering herself the coolest mf because of the spiritual revelation and faith that she has, Isabella shares some tips on how others can become their own version of being the coolest mf there is.

“Be authentic, follow your gut, and say what you came here to say. To be the coolest mf in the room you need to own who you are without anyone’s confirmation,” she said.

Isabella added to ask the right questions and to only take advice from people you would be okay trading places with. But most importantly, she advises following the golden rule: treat as how you want to be treated.

Tuesday Morning

I nodded ruefully at the both of them, knowing that it meant we were heading back into Malibu on The Rose’s behalf. I didn’t know if that made me excited or just angry they didn’t loop me in.

Tuesday morning caught me blowing chunks into the nearest mop bucket and picking the rest of the contents from my hair. The medication still wasn’t sitting well again, and it was hard to keep even the stale biscuits down.

Here in the Slab, the heat made things go rancid. It wasn’t like they were dealing with the best supplies anyway — stolen and home-brewed pain meds with nothing to cut the nausea — but you couldn’t expect to get much else out here. There was a price you paid to live out from under the sprawl of LA and Malibu. It usually meant having to make do with what you had available.

Eight and Kim walked into the room just as I was wiping off the corner of my mouth on my crusty sleeve.

“Hey, how you holding up?” Eight asked.

“Been better,” I shrugged. I tried not to notice that my flippant response made him look winded.

“Are you fit to get back into the RV?” Kim asked.

“Back in the RV?” I said, confused.

“We’re needed in Malibu.” Eight said, getting elusive again.

I nodded ruefully at the both of them, knowing that it meant we were heading back into Malibu on The Rose’s behalf. I didn’t know if that made me excited or just angry they didn’t loop me in.

“Well, don’t keep us in suspense there, Lyle.”

“Yeah, I’m fit. I guess I just thought that we’d be hiding out a while longer here in Salvation.”

Something hardened in Kim’s jawline, taking on that edge she used to get, going out to work for Maxim.

It was weird to think back to now, Kim as Maxim’s lieutenant, but she put in the time — even after we knew Mom and Dad weren’t coming back. They’d always made Jules the drop-off girl, and I would peddle party poppers to rich college kids, but I always suspected that he had Kim doing the grisliest jobs. Even in the restaurant, she just always seemed to have the stomach for it.

But I guess we all just got lost in the work, even me.

Kim’s eyes had a dark, bottomless quality to them, “We don’t hide,” she said, “Now let’s pack it in, and head out.”

I could feel shame start to sit under my puffy eyes, hating myself for folding so quickly with Kim every time.

“Yes ma’am.”

I cleared out of the infirmary before Kim came up with any other requests, looking for Daedalus. Maybe she could help pack some clean bandages for the road.
A Pleasant Monday

Some days are just more pleasant than others.

So, I have not updated you yet that I resigned from this organization on 26 Nov 2020. I have been really at peace after that. This post is about the work Monday.

This morning I started by thinking about life in SF. Saw Akta’s FB and went down the SF memory lane. Thoughts then meandered to Monterrey where my cousin Jay stays. And all this has been bringing a smile to my face. Will I ever get to live for a month in an apartment in SF area, my musings continue.

I get to office and receive a ebook called Mantram Beach from Vani Kola. Immediately, I download it. A book of short poems, it’s a light read and one of the first few poems ends with Chidanand Roop Shivoham Shivoham. Thereeeee…. I am all ears and an instant fan of the author.

As I flip through a couple of more poems, I realize that this probably is the only year where I have not been on a pilgrimage. Little reminiscence.. and then I remember the Yogananda Ashram I visited in March 2020. Heart is filled with love for Shri Paramhans Yoganand and the beautiful morning spent at SRF headquarters in LA fills my mind. I am longing to go back to LA .. to be at the ashram… to pray, to meditate, to realize the true SELF.

Chidanand Roop Shivoham Shivoham!
2021 NBA Coach of the Year Candidates
By: Ross Geiger
Tags: Basketball, Sports, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, NBA

Monty Williams — Phoenix Suns: From exciting new additions in Chris Paul and Jae Crowder to the continued development of DeAndre Ayton, Mikal Bridges, and Cam Johnson. What’s most impressive is the entire team’s buy-in and foundation Coach Williams has established in Phoenix. If the Suns make the playoffs I find it hard to believe any other coach wins the award.

Brad Stevens — Boston Celtics: Yet to take home the top coach of the year honors, Coach Stevens might be able to put together a solid argument this season. It’s well known the Celtics are more than set on the wing with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. But what remains to be seen is how healthy Kemba Walker will be. How the Celtics coach manages the point guard position with or without Kemba available (with Jeff Teague and Payton Pritchard) along with how the team adjusts with Tristan Thompson anchoring the paint will be huge if the Celtics are to take the next step.

Steve Nash — Brooklyn Nets: It was only a few preseason games, but there’s a decent chance Nash is in consideration for the award in his first year at the helm. How he is able to navigate the job while dealing with Kyrie’s media debacle, managing KD’s workload in his return to the court and how he elects the distribute minutes between LeVert/Dinwiddie and Allen/Jordan. If he’s able to maintain the core’s trust, keep the players happy within their roles and of course win games he’ll attract attention especially if the Nets are able to lock in home court advantage finishing top 4 in the Eastern Conference.

Doc Rivers — Philadelphia 76ers: The Brett Brown “Trust the Process” era is over. Not only did the 76ers bring in a well established coach to hopefully help get them over the hump, but they also brought in shooters (something the team has desperately lacked the past few seasons). Time is of the essence in Philadelphia as patience is wearing thin. How quickly Coach Rivers is able to adjust to his new roster, incorporate the new shooters within the offense, and if he can properly weather the storm/eliminate much of the Ben Simmons for James Harden noise will be imperative to the 76ers success this season. That’s a tough ask, but if Rivers can pull it off he’ll be in the conversation.

Ty Lue — LA Clippers: While much of the Clippers issues must be solved and sorted out within the locker room amongst the players themselves Lue does slide over a seat as the head coach with some new factors to consider. With Luke Kennard on board, how much does that affect Lou Williams time? Same can be said for Serge Ibaka being added to the mix as the young Ivica Zubac had came on strong for the Clippers at the end of last year. What 5 players get Lue’s nod during crunch time? The Clippers have a very strong roster filled with a lot big personalities. After a very embarrassing collapse in the playoffs, Lue has one of the tougher jobs in basketball after being tabbed the trusted leader to resolve the internal problems and generate the quick solutions. Anything short of a Western Conference Finals appearance would be a disappointment.

Tyrone Davis Name Associate Artistic Director

One of the big changes at the Center Theatre Group is shifting Tyrone Davis from Education, to the Engagement and Community Partnership department into the Artistic Department into the Artistic Department. Davis new title will be Associate Artistic Director.

“We are committed to changing structures which have sustained a lack of diversity in our organization including our hiring practices, professional development investments, and organizational leadership and hierarchy,” said Center Theatre Group Managing Director and CEO Meghan Pressman. “We know this is a small and preliminary step towards a long overdue goal but with hiring and professional development investments largely paused due to the current shutdown and resulting financial challenges our organization faces, we have begun plans for an assessment of those practices and know that adding Tyrone to the conversation at the Leadership Team level now will help create a better framework once we can resume those activities.”

In his new role Davis he has already guided in a new direction by inspiring a direction, developing Not a Moment, but a Movement. It is an insightful series of events to be released on our new Digital Stage, which parings play readings with visual atists and musicians to create an interdisciplinary collaboration to amplify and center for Black artists,” added Richie.

Center Theatre Group is one of the nation’s preeminent arts and cultural organizations, and is Los Angeles leading nonprofit theatre company. The community engagement and education programs that reach across generations, demographics and circumstance to serve Los Angeles.

Tags: Los Angeles, Home, New Jersey, Change

For 20 years of my life I grew up in a small town in New Jersey. Spent every holiday there, slept in the same room, cooked in the same kitchen, you get the idea. I always referred to Jersey as my home for life. A funny saying I always heard was, “You can take the kid out of Jersey, but you can’t take Jersey out of the kid.” I genuinely believe that, however, I’ve come to a point in my life where I don’t feel at home in New Jersey anymore. Since I was 13–14 years old, I always dreamed of living in Los Angeles/Southern California area, but I would always chalk it up as an unrealistic dream. I still remember the first time I walked out of LAX, I was visiting Loyola Marymount University for the first time. I looked up at the sky and I let out a sigh of relief, and I couldn’t fight this feeling of beloning. I was smiling from ear to ear, as if I had arrived to my new ‘home.’ Little did I know I had. I transferred to LMU in January of 2020, and at that time I was living in a dorm (shoutout McCarthy 229), and when your living in a dorm it doesn’t really feel like a home. However, this semester, me and a few of my Fraternity brothers leased an actual house! Living in a 5x5 dorm compared to a multi-bedroom house is a gigantic change physically, and especially mentally. I flew back home to Jersey for Thanksgiving, and when I got back to my old ‘home,’ I instantly felt off. It wasn’t that my mom decided to paint multiple rooms in the house, or that my room was remodeled, but something just felt off. At the time I had no idea what it was, but once I flew back to LA for the rest of the online semester, I figured it all out. I now have a new home. I will forever love and adore the 20 years I spent in New Jersey. I have some of the best and worst memories of my life at that house, but I have entered a new chapter of my life. This chapter entails living in Los Angeles and living out my dreams and my destined future. I will have immense gratitiude for Jersey and my family that is still there, but my heart is now in LA, my new home.
Personal Culture of Safety Reflection

Tags: Hispanics, Reflections, Mexican Culture, Los Angeles, Culture

My cultural perspective is the Warrior mentality Mexicans have coming from the AZTEC and the American culture of freedom and prosperity. Sometimes I feel that the freedom side doesn’t like the other side and I feel scared sometimes to show it around certain people for fear of retaliation in any form. I have had the privilege of being part of the Chicano culture because of my race and maybe other races probably would not have been accepted so wholeheartedly.

I was at a bar with friends and illegal immigration came up as a topic and I did not feel safe to talk about it openly and honestly because of the majority opinion against it. I feel my cultural background gives me a different and un liked view in certain places on this earth.
This I Believe

I have not a quote for you but a lyric from the bible that saved my life once in my life I was walking down the wrong street one day that I did by mistake and ignorance and some dangerous guys walked towards me the stories of kids being jumped into gangs against their will ravaged my head and I began to cite these words” As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I fear no evil”( Psalm 23, Holy Bible king James version) as I had this on repeat in my stern mind I kept my head down and walked, I reached the end of the block untouched and looked back and saw the characters walking back into the darkness seemingly affected by the light. The virtue I hold was forged in the darkest of the human vessel and became something I like. I can only say that the kingdom of God provides you with a King, Queen, and Jack to guide you through the deep and sometimes throws you an Ace for a winning hand.

Is it Time to Go to Couples Counseling?
By: Cynthia C
Tags: Marriage Counseling, Couples Counseling, Couples Therapy, Los Angeles

Making the selection to travel to couples counseling can desire a really big step. It involves admitting that things aren’t perfect in your partnership, which is usually tough to try to to and scary to admit. And if you’re not particularly conversant in what therapy is all about, it can feel mysterious and confusing, to not mention it can involve considerable effort — finding an appropriate provider, deciding insurance and other financial aspects of the commitment, arising with a time to suit into everyone’s schedule. Often, the thought of seeing a wedding or couples therapist sits on the rear burner, with one or both parties thinking that it’s going to be an honest idea, but also feeling unsure of the way to proceed — and of whether their specific problems can really be helped.

To help demystify the method, I’ve outlined some common issues that indicate that a few could potentially enjoy seeing someone. it is vital to recollect that the majority therapists, both for couples and individuals, offer some version of a free consultation to allow you to decide whether or not they could be an honest fit you. do not be afraid to succeed in out and ask questions — the sooner, the higher — in order that if it isn’t an honest match, you’ll advance.

The History of The Gateway Project in El Monte
By: El Monte In Time
Tags: El Monte, Los Angeles, Gentrification, San Gabriel Valley, The Present

The Gateway Project is an ongoing residential and commercial project in the city of El Monte that is part of the “Billion Dollar Initiative.” It is currently still in development on Santa Anita Avenue next the 10 Interstate and near Main Street, formerly known as the Valley Mall.

The Gateway Project is being built around the El Monte Bus Station, which is actually the largest in the entire West Coast. The Project will offer various attractions to visitors and locals including a large shopping center, a movie theater, gym, and apartments.

The Beginning of the Gateway Project in El Monte

The Gateway Project has been in development since 2012, the same year the new El Monte Bus Station reopened. Although in reality, the project has been in development far longer than the Gateway Project’s existence, just under a different name.

The development of such a project surrounding the El Monte Station goes back almost two entire decades.

The original development of the project began in 2003 when the city of El Monte announced, “plans to work with the Titan Group to build the El Monte Transit Village,” as reported by the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. But over half a decade later in 2009 plans fell through, when top executives of Titan were, “arrested by El Monte police on suspicion of fraud, embezzlement, and theft.”

In the aftermath, a lengthy and expensive legal battle between the city of El Monte and the original developer followed and the construction of the El Monte Transit Village was halted for several more years.

The Liquor Store Proprietor

Tommy Bina, owner of the Laurel Canyon Country Store in Los Angeles.

Tommy Bina is owner of the legendary Canyon Country Store. Located halfway up Laurel Canyon, the store was immortalized by The Doors in the song Love Street as the “store where the creatures meet.” It was originally built in 1908 as a lodge for local hunters and was accessible only by trackless trolly. The lodge burnt down in 1929 and was rebuilt using brick and stones from a river that flowed near Laurel Canyon.

The Country Store became the center of the Los Angeles counter-culture hippie movement. Jim Morrison and girlfriend Pamela Courson lived in a house adjacent to the store in the early 60s. The store’s outdoor patio became an impromptu stage for jam sessions featuring canyon denizens Frank Zappa, Graham Nash, Joni Mitchell and Cass Elliott. While living in the Canyon, Joni Mitchell wrote Ladies of the Canyon and Graham Nash wrote Our House. Mama Cass lived in the store’s basement when she moved to Los Angeles.



Tommy bought the store in 1982 and quickly became a staple of Laurel Canyon life. He loves to tell the story about the time a stylishly-dressed man came in asking for “Flakes,” a British candy bar. When Tommy realized the man was David Bowie he began stocking the chocolate. He added “English Kit Kats” for Mick Jagger and specialty French wines for actress Christina Applegate.

Jennifer Aniston was a cashier at the store before her acting career took off. Robert Blake, in an effort to quit smoking, kept an open pack of cigarettes behind the front counter. He asked the staff to dole them out to him, one per visit. The store has become a spot where wealthy music & film celebrities do their local shopping. When film director Werner Herzog asked Tommy why the milk was so expensive, Tommy responded, “Don’t ask me, I don’t shop here.”



Every year, Tommy gathers locals in front of the store for the annual “Canyon Photo day.” Tommy can also be seen on Sunday mornings with a garbage bag in hand cleaning trash from the Canyon streets. The store remains much like it was in the 60’s and Tommy is the eclectic steward of Laurel Canyon history.
Music Review: Lou Baron’s “Don’t Promise Forever”
By: Maria Urduja Osit-Li
Tags: Jazz, Los Angeles, Andrew Lane, Lourdes Duque Baron, Music Review

Music Review:

Song: “Don’t Promise Forever” carrier song from the Album “Back To Romance “

Artist: Lourdes Duque Baron

Producer: Timeless Entertainment Inc.

Music Producer/Arranger Andrew Lane.

Review:

This experimental project expands its already broad lyric & instrumental palette for a Jazz album fusing Lou’s voice and jazzy instruments without succumbing to the tropes of either Lane and Baron, because Jazz is a genre that is not easy to pull off, true jazz experience happens onstage in front of an audience—but in this case “Don’t Promise Forever” broke the rule, the song kicks off with Lou’s unique voice, and Lane’s -penned piece that brings a certain spell and dramatic quality. This is followed by piano, solo-bass & guitars which serves to bridge the path that takes us from the start & the whole piece to cool off with unspeakable comfort and endearment.

Great Cities Are Like Great Relationships

Source: Author

I walk around Los Angeles — at least a little bit — most days. I explore Silverlake more than any other neighborhood. Right when I think I know the area well, I stumble on something that blows my mind.

Like the picture fronting this article.

It’s an alleyway-like street that circles into another circle in the hills of Silverlake, a five-minute walk south of busy Sunset Boulevard. It’s the type of thing people who don’t know, aren’t curious about, and don’t take the time to explore Los Angeles might not believe exists.

don’t know aren’t curious about don’t take the time to explore

You feel like you know a city, but you don’t take the city for granted. You remain curious about it. You take the time to explore it. You’re intellectually, psychologically, and physically curious. Exploring a city affects us in all three ways. If you don’t feel these distinct curiosities coalesce around a sense of attachment to the place, you’re probably not long for the city.

As I walked Los Angeles this past week and discovered this series of circular alleyway streets in Silverlake, I likened the process to always finding something new and exciting in a city to being in a relationship. I also came to the opposite conclusion. The things I have always loved about Los Angeles still excite me.

One Time, I Met a Flying Cockroach
By: Yena Choi
Tags: Los Angeles, Adolescence, Beyourself, Heat, Cockroach

This is a true story

My Childhood, Los Angeles Neighborhood.

In the year of 2005, Los Angeles seemed eternally hot. My family did not believe in AC, so everything was always sticky inside the house. Most days were spent inside with AIM, Xanga, YouTube, Yahoo Mail, New Grounds and an extremely smelly dog. I became extremely well-versed in never leaving any food exposed to the air. Otherwise, you may just end up eating a soup full of flies or a flying cockroach.

Most days felt like time was just slowly melting away under the extreme layer of smog and heat. Someone that was there through it all with me was a this golden, flying cockroach. Yup. It was a big one too. I am sure the roach interbred with a grasshopper and that is how it grew wings. I am also sure that it was always the same little thing. Now, I am not sure where the golden exterior came from. I am not an insect/ bug doctor.

As a very awkward, conventionally unattractive and introverted teenager, it is always important to have social consistency. Asides from my internet dwellers, mine was this golden cockroach that lived outside, sometimes inside. My aunt had definitely made attempts to end my friend’s life.

My family thought this was a very unhealthy relationship, but what do they know. It was me and roachy against the world, mostly. This supposed, unhealthy attachment also became apparent to my one other real life friend at the time. She ended up naming my nameless friend “Chaos”, because chaos is often nameless. I am not sure where that even came from. It worked.

Gradually, my flying friend stopped visiting me. I cannot remember exactly how or when. Altogether, I never saw him/ her/ it or whatever — ever again. What has this relationship taught me? I cannot really say, we did not talk much. This flying creature was not much of a talker if you must know. There is no real point to this story. Possibly, other than I did not live in the most sanitary home or the most climate change friendly place. Oh yeah, and do not leave food exposed in for long periods of time without Saran wrap/ lid.

Domestic Violence (Literature Review)
By: Samantha Uribe Ambrosio
Tags: Los Angeles, Domestic Violence, Hispanics

Domestic Violence, violence or abuse from a romantic partner, is very present in California. Today, Latino or Hispanic females are the larger minority who suffer from domestic violence. Many Hispanic or Latino females in Los Angeles County suffer from sexual assault and homicide and hesitate to report.

Ashley N. Muchow and Catalina Amuedo-Dorantes explain the great concern of Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) in the correlation of Latinos and unreported crimes in “Immigration enforcement awareness and community engagement with police: Evidence from domestic violence calls in Los Angeles”. It is organized in different subjects from Contextual Background to Domestic Violence calls and Immigration Enforcement Awareness. This research was based on data from LAPD from 2014 through 2017 (Muchow 1). They stated background on the population of Los Angeles County; for example, that, “Los Angeles is home to 1.5 million immigrants… the majority are Latino (49 percent) … from Mexico & Central America,” (Muchow 2). Muchow also names past disputes between police and immigrants that are to blame for the decreased reporting rate of domestic violence from Latino immigrants like officers would ask those reporting of their immigrational status (Muchow 2). They also mention that LAPD noticed, “Drops in domestic violence and sex crime reporting,” (Muchow 3). Throughout their article, Muchow and Dorantes presented the evidence collected in different tables and plots to explained how the data supported their beginning statement of LAPD being concerned of low reporting rates among Latinos in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles County

The article written by Muchow allows the audience to understand their fear in reporting sex crimes. The data in the document presented above explains that Latino women are scared of deportation if they report anything that occurred to them or in there nearby surroundings. As stated above, 44% of Latinos would choose to not report because of their fear to deportation which help comprehend why Hispanic or Latina women decide to not report their aggressors (Muchow 3). Victims would rather keep living with their aggressor free rather than going back to their home country. This study demonstrates the extent women would surpass in order to stay in this country.

Hispanic and Latino females are the largest minority in Los Angeles County that suffer from sexual assault and homicide and in addition hesitant to report it. Citizens and authority should be more aware of the fear that’s integrated in the Hispanic community and act to make them feel as safe to report as other victims.

They start with the riots in LA in the 1960ies that resulted from police brutality and continue through to the end of the curfew in May in 1992. It shows looting and rioting. More importantly, it shows who is looting and rioting and offers the ability to reflect on why there might be looting and rioting in black areas. It also shows that most people forget that looting and rioting and burning was not only in South Central or Compton, but throughout entire Los Angeles with damage being of more than 1 Billion Dollars.

I have often heard the question from white people of “why do Black people burn their own neighborhoods”. Here are some reasons I came up with after watching the documentary.

The exhibition titled Thin as Thorns, In These Thoughts in Us: An Exhibition of Creative AI and Generative Art organized by the Honor Fraser Gallery in Los Angeles, aims to investigate the various implications that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has in the cultural and artistic fields.

The title of the exhibition comes from a computer-generated book of poetry called Articulations and designed by artist, poet and programmer Allison Parrish. The exhibition features a series of very different works by artists who have used AI both as a medium and a tool to create.

In this exhibition, open until February 20, 2021, you will find the works of various artists, including: Patrick Tresset, Christobal Valenzuela, Joanne Hastie, Agnieszka Kurant, Annie Lapin, Allison Parrish, Memo Akten, Sougwen Chung, Chris Coy, YACHT, Holly Grimm, Casey Reas, Siebren Versteeg and Tom White. Included in the show there are also two works by pioneers Harold Cohen and Roman Verostko.

The exhibit intends to provide the public with tools to approach this type of art and to understand its intrinsic aspects. Due to the current situation, the exhibition can be visited only by appointment.

Flow so Long Thru Long Beach

There are many places in the world with the name Long Beach. But Long Beach California is the one and only LBC.

LBC doesn’t stand for Long Beach Crips, Nor Long Beach and Compton. Long Beach shares a border with Compton, but don’t get it twisted or you might get shanked. LBC is Long Beach California

Long Beach is a massive city.

I must say, this map is on point. I lived on the the border of Suit City and Bring Bear Mace and Stun Guns. And that is an excellent description of the neighborhood.
quod licet lovi, non licet bovi

I left New York. I guess I have to write that over and over again. How about, I left New York, but while leaving, unrepentant ( a la my facebook status — “I’ve made a lot of mistakes and they’ve all paid off”), I also thought I’d “be right back.”

I got further from that point of departure. I suppose this is somewhat simple physics, because the point of departure is in the past and therefore behind the present, where I am now.

After I left New York, I lived in Los Angeles for two hot summers. Easy living after New York, driving my beamer up and down Los Feliz Boulevard to get to Trader Joes and Gelsons and that cafe. Easy to be recognized, and to recognize all the other fugitives.

Then I met my husband and everything got very fast, very quick — dating, proposal, wedding, pregnancy, baby. Now I have baby.

Chronologically, I am 7 or 8 years from my New York departure. But as a sensation, it still is sliding out of me, knocking into present selves as I slip into yet another self-sleeve — motherhood. I’m also a little right of center of my PHD program and that’s yet another self-sleeve, not quite fit.

I grow out of all selves, life and this world and become a sphere of white light when I look at my son.

A million dollar loft condo for $500,000?

Things like that are beginning to happen as the sagging urban home market brings new opportunities for prospective loft buyers to get better deals. One happy couple purchased a very large 2-story loft, with an original asking price of nearly $700,000, for less than $550,000 by taking advantage of LA Loft Blog exclusive deals. Because they got such a great deal on the industrial warehouse style live/work condominium unit, they ended up with plenty of extra money to fix it up with a new kitchen, bathroom, modern glass walls and other improvements. The stylish loft now looks like a million bucks! | Blog Video

Covid-19 Lockdowns Once Again
By: Let'S Be Serious Blog
Tags: Unemployment, Money, Los Angeles, Covid 19, Blog

L.A Mayor Eric Garcetti issued another order for residents to stay home. I mean I get it, its getting worse out there. But to close down business once again isn’t helping. These new restrictions its not fair to some small businesses out there trying to survive. It’s coming to a point were people are helpless and cant survive off unemployment. I measly $450 a week if you choose not to take away taxes on it. But all the big stores like Target, Walmart, and all the supermarkets are all open. Restaurants are suffering the most. They opened their outdoor dining just a few months ago and just like that they are forced to shut down.

I honestly believe it’s our own choice if we want to eat out in a restaurant or whatever the case may be. We have to take our own precautions and always wash our hands and wear a mask. Any restaurant worker who wants to work, should work. It should be their choice then it’s our choice if we want to go and eat as well.

I work for a school district as a Security guard and I’m very thankful that I’m working even though there is no students at school. But how long will that continue ? Not that long because just like a business they will have to cut back. If it was up to me I would work even if they allow students to come back. Again it’s my choice. I will take that risk. I have 2 small kids so I am risking getting them sick as well. But can’t imagine not having any money to feed them and keep a roof over their head. I’ve’ been on unemployment before. It’s not enough to pay all your bills including rent. People have been living like that since March. How long can this go on ? It’s a scary situation but we have to live through it and do what we have to do to survive.

What are your thoughts on the new lockdown restrictions ?
Energy Healing and Crystals: Los Angeles Esthetician’s Holistic Beauty Approach.
Tags: Beauty, Los Angeles, Featured, Reiki, Skincare

Many more people today are seeking holistic beauty treatments and desire to use botanicals and even crystals in their home regimens. Why would you think others are beginning to seek this approach — say, over traditional chemical treatments?

Julie: “I think so many of us have arrived into a level of awareness where we can see the impact poor health has had on our world. Sometimes, it’s difficult and frustrating to find the right answers, seeking healing from an external source. Crystals can be a fabulous way for each of us to remember that we are indeed healers, every single one of us, and we have the power to heal ourselves and each other in every moment. And that healing may not look like what we thought or what we had intended at the start of the journey.

It is empowering for us to be both the patient and the doctor at the same time. We have the opportunity to learn more about who we are and how we can thrive — how we can become livelier as we age, instead of believing the opposite to be absolute.

The millennials have brought a beautiful re-coding for us all, which is transparency. So much information was hidden before aspects of the internet were more available and before social media was commonplace and the subject of most conversations. We have so much wisdom at our fingertips now, and the real job of us all as healers is to use our own discernment.”

Getting to know oneself is one of life’s greatest challenges, yet, best learning opportunities. There are many people who struggle with this throughout their lives, or become attached to one personality trait, or career title. Becoming your own best friend, and finding more ways to become still are a couple powerful practices to uncovering your truth, and fulfilling your life’s dreams.
