We are sound waves

It's the ripple effect.

What you think,

you create in the ripple.

What you want will be yours.

Set your intentions.

Manifest your desires,

bury them in your bones.

Dance the dance

sing the song.

We are sounds waves.

Feed the wave

You

are 

the 

ripple.

Solo SF Trip to the Marina Fini Art Show

I attended my first Marina Fini art exhibit!!!

I was bummed I couldn't attend Opening Night, so I dragged my ass to SF this past Wednesday.

I had the whole place to myself. I arrived right when they opened, that's the secret.
Walking through this show brought back some memories of my old Rave Nights in SF circa 1994 (I was a little 13 year old tenderoni)

 Plus, I got to meet Marina, she welcomed me with a hug. Pretty Rad! 

She cruised me around the exhibit giving me a little dose of what inspired her to create some of her pieces. 

I was so overwhelmed by the exhibit( I walked through it like 5 times), I didn't snap any photos, I just took two Instagram Vids.

Marina hooked me up with a pair of her infamous plexi earrings!  

Since she didnt have any Palm Trees earrings in iridescent already made, she found two matching pairs and turned them into earrings ( I filmed her working her magic in the last Insta Vid).

Total sweetheart.

Here are images of her work 

(These are not my photos, these are from Google Image Search)

Pictured above is her Motelscapes

exhibit at ARTBasel Miami 2015

(I wanted to sell my soul to attend the show, Gaawwd!)

I love me some Miley Cyrus.  Rocking the infamous Mushroom Plexi earrings. 

Baddie Winkle being a Bad Ass!

I wish I could afford her custom door beads.

Seeing them in person is crazy, very meticulous and time consuming.  Thats why these babies are a pretty penny.

Marina told me, her and Baddie are close friends. I wish I could hug Baddie, she's my IDOL! HA!

If you are in the San Francisco Area, Heron Arts

It's a thin line

Has anyone ever tried to emulate your life?

Would you feel flattered?

Would you feel agitated?

Would you feel harassed?

Well, this is what I've been dealing with for almost two decades.

I shrugged it off as flattery at first.  Then I became irritated.

This isn't just a case of, after you hang out with someone for awhile you start to dress the same and talk the same.  This happened to me immediately. This person did a total 180 in style, slang, music interest, dance moves, leisurely activities and hangout locations. This behavior is still going strong to this day.  I've tried distancing myself, not speaking of ideas and trying to remain humble. It didnt work.  Thanks Social Media.  So, this madness continues.
Where does one draw the line?
This is not cool on so many levels.

Why must I involve this person in my life?

Due to certain circumstances, I "had" to remain cordial and associate.

†

I've tried wrapping my head around this whole ordeal and I just cant.

I told myself this is petty, who cares. I'm not the only one who is into this that or the other. It's a free world!

I should be flattered!

I'm not going to dive into specifics, but the manner in which this mimicking behavior has went down, it's clearly abusive behavior.  This is beyond someone being inspired, it's antagonizing.

Fast Forward to today!

The magical universe has recently removed this person out of my life.  Unfortunately, this behavior has a deeper underlying issue that I no longer need to be part of.  This behavior will continue, except its not pushed in my face and I don't need to see this human.

My next step to clarity, is finishing this blog entry (because this is therapy) and leaving all this madness in the past.

Forward! March!!

Road Trippin'

Time to get LOST!!

Went on a short but sweet road trip to Reno!
We cruised through some killer towns!!
Grass Valley, Historic Auburn, Truckee, Carson City, Sonora, Angels Camp, Jamestown to name a few!

We had thee best pizza at Pete's Pizza & Tap House

Tahoe National Forest was insanely beautiful

Reno was a trip! I havent been since 2002, and its still the same. Kinda cheesy, old school but still pretty cool.  We had steak and lobster, played some slot machines, got a free upgrade to a King Suite.  We didnt want to stay another night so we hit the high road!

Had to make a stop in Carson City at The Bunny Ranch to get some souvenirs. Boy was that place a trip too! I guess a few days prior, some tweaker dude stole a Big Rig and at 4am, smashed it into the facade of the Bunny Rand and jumped out in full camo gear?? ahahahahah!!  Read the whole crazy story (here) 

†

Along the way there was so much beauty, we actually stopped a few times but this was one of the best stops.  Check out my Instagram Vid.  You know I had my feet all up in that river

Click (here)

Caples Lake was off the charts!

 All I gotta say, is I wanna road trip back to all these spots and reserve a room in Sonora and a room in Murphy's. Im cool with Reno. AAhaha!

P.S. eL Dorado National Forest is pretty sick too

Happiness lies in your own hands

eXpress Yourself + Don't Repress Yourself

Not Sorry

Where you sleep

A home should be your sanctuary. I totally agree.

As a child I was a bit of a peeping tom.  I would stare at creative looking windows and wonder what their room and/or house looked like in the inside. In my neighborhood there was this gorgeous mysterious, 3 story Victorian.  A tiny old lady lived there alone.  My younger sister and I were obsessed with her.  We would always knock on her door and ask her to buy school fundraiser stuff.  We just wanted to peep in or better yet, get invited in. I even mailed her a letter and asked if she needed help with her garden.  I was willing to work for free.

Unfortunately, she passed away and the house was sold(tear)♥

Thanks "Nowness" for your mini episodes of " My Place" I can peep without being a weirdo.

The tides and redwoods are calling my name

The few days before vacation, my mind runs rampant. excitement completely consumes me. It's so hard to focus. I definitely test my discipline.  

After a long two year hiatus, the Girls Only Camping Trip is in 2 days!!!

Big Sur has had its devastation the last fews years, but its open to campers and the river is flowing like crazy!!

While gathering all the gear, and thinking of all the To Do's, neither of us thought about the music!!

We have no service at our campground so we cant play Pandora.

UGH!! 

Why didnt I create a playlist? 

Lame.So Lame.

I guess I still have time.

This post is to motivate me 

and get the brain waves flowing so I can put together something! Anything at this point

Ok, this is a good start.
