Walking in LA

I got up early this chilly Friday morning and I walked about a mile to the offices here in Ontario, California. The song says 'Only a nobody walks in LA.' I've been living without a car in the heart of Los Angeles where you do see people walking around. And I know that I'm not a nobdy. Here in Ontario, there wasn't anybody out and about. It felt great to be out on the streets with just me, myself, and I.

Living without a car has been unbelievably amazing. I get to experience the world in a very different manner. After I stopped running a few years back, I relaized how much I love walking; it's defintely a great passion of mine. I walk around without any music and until recently, without a cell phone. I get to hear my thoughts, to give thanks for the many blessings in my life, and I get to feel the world around me. I feel Alive!!!!

I also get to experience this feeling of aliveness when I'm painting my Little Girls. It's an amazing feeling to bring them to life; there are moments when I literally dance around my apartment with such joy and pride knowing that I am doing what I am meant to do. It's been strange not painting this week and so I'm looking forward to going back home and showing up to the canvas.

The piece below is titled Becoming Me. It is a self-portait of me in drag. As with walking and painting, I love to read and write, thus the words on the canvas.

May you have a happy Friday day! Do what you love, live with passion.
