1. Instagram– The new Facebook. Everyone is either a photographer, model, make up artist, body builder, or a party animal. Everyone on Instagram toots their own horn. EVERYONE! We all need some confidence boosters once in a while. It’s healthy, but this onslaught of “selfies” quickly gets old. I’m not knocking on anyone’s hobbies. It’s […]

As aesthetically pleasing as the DTLA cityscape can be, the reality is that this area of Los Angeles is a place of despair.

“The circle got smaller, the castle got bigger.”   The Circle should be big enough so that only you fit in it. Worry only for your own health- mentally, emotionally, and physically. Focusing on yourself allows for clarity, while discarding clutter. The lines outside this circle represent Life- things that happen, modernity, events, society, commerce, […]

There are two levels of existence; physical and non-physical. The physical is that which we can touch- such as the body- and therefore the non-physical is that which we cannot- emotions, mental thoughts, etc. Love…what IS it? Can you touch love?
