Divinity Rising: All Part of the Show -

Hola!

I’ve really been on the go the last couple weeks, and I’ve got some great news to relay.

I’ve really been blessed in the last few weeks with PROGRESS.

I’ve been quietly paying attention to what I see unfolding in my own life and all around me….That’s how dreams work, you know. They percolate within us and then begin to flow forth once we give them the freedom to do so.

What is that I see?  A beautiful dream -

1) In our city….

I see a beautiful dream  unfolding in Louisville – I meet so many amazing people with such beautiful individual dreams that this past weekend was even more powerful as I met with many in one place who are willing to embrace and support each other.  It is so good to see more people realizing the importance of celebrating and supporting local business and creating a strong community.  It is so important to be a part of a strong community that can sustain itself.  Are you a part of  Mighty Kindness?

Check out this short video to get a feel of what a beautiful day it was:

And in case you didn’t know, May 15th has been declared “Bike to Work Day”

2) In the lives of my friends:

My friend, Jason, got his insurance and is branching out more and more with his own roofing business! Congratulations! Also, major props and a Happy Birthday to my friend Mike Wright, who has  completed his first experimental short film, Transcendence. I was honored to perform in it (and so was Cody!)

Check it out:

3) In my own life – After a year of hosting The Speak Easy, I’ve changed the name to Sub Rosa: The Gypsie Courtyard. In commemoration of the old name, we gave out almost 100 Makers Mark mason jars etched with the words “Speak Easy Social”. The kick off at our new venue, Diamonds Pub and Billiards, was a huge success. You can read more about it and see a video of some of the acts at the Sub Rosa blog, where I also post and pass along Louisville arts and entertainment news/opportunities. Everyone had a great time, and the acts that turned out were all amazing. An array of comedy, magic, music, poetry and even the Great Baldini showed up to hammer nails into his face.

Check out this small sampling of the featured poet, Danny O Day, and featured music group, Serpent Wisdom ! Everyone also enjoyed the featured movie, Fangs for the Memories.

Rv Update: I got the brake pads replaced on the RV – HOORAY! It still needs some more brakework done, but it is mobile again. I’m almost ready to begin accepting sponsorships.

So, what’s been up with you? What evidence have you seen that your dream is unfolding all around you? What kind of dream are you allowing to billow forth from the very core of your heart? Please leave me a comment and let me know what evidence you’ve found (no matter how small)… Then cling to that evidence and plow ever forward!

The last week has been an interesting one.  It’s been crazy busy with  lots of ups and downs.

First, let us go up, shall we?

I was able to shoot an experimental film with a friend for my poem “Keys to Broken Dreams” – it was a lot of fun and I’m really looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Donavan is a wrestler, and he  was great to work with.   We shot at the waterfront park  near the Tumbleweed.

Donavan was a really good sport. The set up for this scene really took a lot of patience from him just laying there as we set up everything around him.

Cody was my assistant, and he did a great job.

My pal Norm (from last week’s video) was kind enough to let us use his apartment and mirrors for this  scene.

Now, everybody hold your hands up and scream as we take the roller coaster downward!

The brakes went out on my RV. I haven’t been able to drive it and won’t until they are fixed. My super mechanic has been too busy to be able to look at it.

Now lean back as we head up again: I have a friend coming to look at the brakes . In the meantime, I’ve been busy planning and have completed the cast and crew for an upcoming Doomsday Lover video to be shot next month. Oh yeah! Be prepared to be amazed.

And back down again: Due to the brakes being out and other circumstances, Cody and I missed Thunder over Louisville this year.

If you aren’t familiar with the term, it is the huge air and fireworks show that kicks off two weeks of Derby festivities every year. 7-800,ooo people turn out for it.

The fireworks last for half an hour, and the show is the largest in North America. Here’s just a small clip shot by my friend Anna A.K.A. Super Geek ( ohhh, she’s a super geek, super geek, she’s super geeky):

upside: To make up for it, we made our own personal thunder.

And terrifyingly downward: I was working yesterday on the computer when I heard Cody screaming outside like he was being attacked…I thought for sure a dog was mauling him. I ran outside to see what was going on, and I couldn’t find him anywhere… I yelled for him a couple times… Turns out he had taken his dog next door into the neighbors yard where Chase found a small kitten and picked it up in his mouth before taking off with it. Thankfully, the kitten was fine – just really pissed off…and with good reason.

Sooo, in the ups and downs where are you? Are you enjoying the ride? Where do you keep your focus? On the ups? On the downs? Or do you run around in a tshirt that says “bissfully unaware”?

SPILL IT! (and then click the share button below )

I can’t believe it’s been another week…time to reflect and check in…The last week FLEW by!

I’ve been so busy that I’ve been running to keep up!  I

1)had repairs done to the Rv on a couple different days,

2)moved all of my stuff into storage in my friend’s garage,

3) sold a bunch of stuff I didn’t need/want on Craigslist ( I love Craigslist- it paid for the engine repairs).

4) Went to three children’s birthday parties (including Cody’s which I had to buy the supplies for, set up, host, etc)

5) cleaned out a refrigerator that has probably not been cleaned in over a year at least.

6) Scheduled some very exciting upcoming video shoots

7) gave the boy a mohawk (the boy is my love term for Cody)
Entered a poetry fellowship contest for $15,000 (Cross your fingers, light a candle, say a prayer!)

9) all the usual life stuff

10) actually did get some sleep

11) broke down on my way to Carly Rae’s to host the Speak Easy

After replacing the throttle cable and fuel pump, it was still breaking down.

Check out what I look like frazzled and sans make up in this misadventure when the RV  stalled followed by *insert dramatic music here* the death of a battery.

I took it to the mechanic the next day and he replaced the fuel filter and fuel line for me. He didn’t even charge for labor! I am so blessed! It’s been running great ever since!

By Friday night, I was in the middle of a nervous break down, but after Cody’s birthday party Saturday, things returned to a slightly slower pace…for about two days. Coming up this week, I’m acting in two short films, visiting an awesome poetry/film festival at the University of Louisville, and Mike Driskell will be starting the renovation of the inside of the RV….and I’ll be taking some video of it!

Oh! A nice little surprise to add in to it all! I won this great little prize package from my blog pal, Jake over at his Blog :)

Here is some e cards love :

Hope you enjoyed the e cards love.

Check out the post today at the Tie Dyed Tirades Blog…

It is about beat poets and features local legend and internationally known poet/rebel/wild spirit man Ron Whitehead  and a video I made of Ron and one of his daughter, Rani Newman at the Louisville Speak Easy…

Check it out by clicking here.

Check out Ron’s web site here.

For about a year, I’ve enjoyed the creativity and power of videos made by JC Mendizabal and the vibrations of the magical music he and his fellow hearts of art come together to create.

According to his website, their music group specializes in shamanic Electronic music.

Imagine my honor and shock when I accidentally found by a bizarre chain of online clicks that he featured a snippet from  some of my poetry in one recently.

Turns out he had emailed me about it, but it got lost in the inter-ether ..but all that matters is that the message made it through and I found it and can now share it with you. Funny how we communicate to each other that way, eh?

You can read the entire poem The Trail over on the Diaries of a Godling Blog here.

I find his work absolutely intriguing and can feel it from all the way across the country.

Check my brother out, and partake in the important and amazing service he provides  at http://www.deconstructionist.com/blacknote/
