Halloween Inspired...

Many times I am inspired by someone perhaps something they did or said and that person doesn't even know it. 

As if guarding a secret I use the inspiration to take me to places in my mind where I have not been.

I've been living life to the fullest and became my own lover. 

I must admit... I am a damn good lover.

I have laughed with many strangers and traded many stories. 

The city at the moment rages around me but I've built space where I find silence...stillness.  

I can't seem to forget that I was bred by Yemaya, the African drum, magic and witchcraft.

Then... there is the nighttime. The moon that feeds my creative soul. The ghosts that try to creep in. 

Haunting monsters that only reside within but I am always ready for a good battle.

*Four girls ran around a haunted house with a camera and this is what we created...

A Dance...

I have a few images that I have been meaning to release and share with you but I sure can't do that without the mention of The Philippine Islands. I love Filipino culture it is vibrant and one of my dearest friends Dianne she also happens to be the godmother to Ms.M is from The Philippines. 

Dianne is a beautiful soul and she is one of those that has helped me when I needed a hand. I once was stranded in San Francisco with not a cent in my pocket or anyone that could help me. I called Dianne and within minutes the funds were sent to me so I could return home safely. The truth is Filipinos will give you a hand when you need it. They are hard working, hospitable and beautiful island people and they need our help.

Please visit the Red Cross  they are doing everything they can to help them.

Now I can continue and share with you a few images...

About Gothic fairy tales...

Today I felt the summer leave me like an incredibly bored lover and I was acting out as if it was my first boyfriend. I have kept busy with many things. The adventures are things that I myself couldn't have had the imagination to foresee for I at times can lack the foresight.

The constant tug between motherhood and my own independence. My heart builds the roots of what is our family tree and my head wanders off while wearing fairy wings. The constant bickering between the two can be consuming.

Since I last posted I have flirted with a famous Spaniard, drank too much tequila. created many pieces of art and have met many new friends. But I have clean the closets and attics, held a yard sale, went on a date with the man of the house, prepared and organized the girls for the upcoming cold weather, shopped for Halloween costumes, groceries, cooked meals and the other one thousand things we woman do.

And I need the solitude of the nights. I need the silence to let me my mind wander. To create and learn because I always want more.

About numbers...

She has hurt her right arm 2.0 times. She is 3.3 years of age. She weighs 47.7 lbs. She wears size 5T and the shoe size is 10.

Tonight I get to see dancers, clowns and a illustrator. I might even get to meet one of those that kill zombies for a living.  Because after all it is I who lives in this city... The most haunted city in America and I...  I am nothing but an extra in this Gothic fairy tale...
