Which happy do you prefer?

       Once a month I sit at my favorite cafe in Los Angeles and evaluate my life.  "Am I happy?" Is always the first question. To be honest with you sometimes the answer is yes sometimes no. It depends on my mood and what's going on in my life. If I had an argument with the significant other moments before, telling me I'm shopping to much. I'm probably in a bad mood. On the other hand, if I had a performance gig the night before. I'm still on my natural high and therefore in a good mood. 

This might seem odd but what I've discovered is that there are two forms of happiness for me. I have the physical and the spiritual. The physical, which is controlled by my moods. For example, when I get a new pair of shoes from Nordstrom. I stare at them, while I'm waiting in line at the register to pay for them, admiring their beauty. I'm happy on a physical level. However when I'm writing or singing or being creative that's a totally different kind of happiness. It comes from within, that's why I call it my spiritual happy.   Believe me both forms of happiness are a priority in my life and I try to keep a balance.

 Sometimes while sitting in the cafe, I feel emotions that I don't understand. I don't know where the heck they come from. My inner world is discombobulated. I become anxious and ask, "why are my emotions complicated"?  What I have come to realize is that everyone's emotions can be complicated on some level. I am no different, I only choose to examine mine.  As we are all on an individual journey. The destination however is the same place. That place being discovering the God or goddess within myself and yourself.  What I realized is that being sad, happy, excited, disappointed, etc.  Whatever emotion I experience it's all apart of life. It's what you call the journey. I acknowledge the emotion, try to understand it.  If I don't, I'm confident that I will come to understand it sometime in the future and move on. 
 The answers I don't know always eventually come to me. I only need to have patience.
 Keeping a journal always helps me to sort through my emotions. This is how I discovered I had two levels of happiness.  As you probably guessed as I'm writing this post. I'm very happy and I hope you are too! Do you need both levels of happiness in your life? Feel free to leave a comment.

In Hollywood movies, dreams come true and hearts are shattered in just a few takes, but in real life, there is only one take and no editing allowed. The Dragonfly sees all as it follows the lives of three best friends living in Los Angeles. Even though their lives are glamorous at times, each woman is on an individual journey to find love, professional success and spiritual growth. They realize it’s a lot more difficult than they expected.

For Leanora, a Hollywood publicist who rubs shoulders with the rich and famous, outwardly it appears that she has it all, but deep inside, she is as lonely as a $2 bill. Desperate for love, she does the unimaginable to one of her best friends and her conscience is getting the best of her.

Behind the façade of a picture-perfect marriage, Tiffany hides an abusive relationship and an addiction to antidepressant medications that help her cope.

Christina, a cash-strapped artist, has burned some bridges by constantly borrowing money from her friends, so she resorts to a different kind of rubbing as a paid escort.

  Crossed off the Bucket List.The GrandCanyon

The Summer I did something I always wanted to do. It had been a dream of mine for many years. I'm sure you guessed it. I Hiked the Grand Canyon. Some people dream about diamonds or winning lotto. I mean, I dream about those things too however the Canyon was more attainable. The Grand Canyon is located in the United States of America and it's about a billion years old. How do you comprehend a billion years? I still cant! All I know is that it was magnificent to look at.  It's in the state of Arizona, which was carved by the Colorado River.

Talk about exciting, hiking the Canyon was one of the most exhilarating things I had ever done in my life, besides having my first orgasm. As I overlooked the Canyon from the South Rim. I was in complete awe.  Now hiking it was a different story.When you hike the Canyon it takes two days to get all the way to the bottom and back.

That is the reason the Rangers suggest you camp overnight. My boyfriend and I choose to hike halfway down. Which is about six  long miles down. While we hiked down we laughed, talked and enjoyed the sights. Now returning was the opposite. We argued, screamed and kept stopping to rest. My boyfriend screamed " I can't feel my legs anymore". The difference between him and I was that I did train a month before we left for the Canyon. I walked six miles four times a week to prepare myself and it was rough for me. My boyfriend said that he didn't need to train. Ha Ha! He learned a valuable lesson.  Some men you can't tell them anything.

Nevertheless, we had a great time the three nights we spent at the Grand Canyon. Everyday we discovered something new.

If you are planning a trip to the Grand Canyon make sure you budget your money. Try to book your Hotel accommodations far in advance. Hotels sale out fast and can get a little expensive. If you run out of money however there is a Chase Bank in the Canyon.  So make sure you bring your ATM card. We had a lot of fun and met people from all over the world. My visit to the Grand Canyon was worth the money.

        John Ridley latest Movie. Jimi, All is by my side! 

 I went to the Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood to see John Ridley latest creation. Jimi, all is by my side. John wrote and directed the film. Unfortunately the movie is only playing at a limited amount of theaters; however, it's AWESOME. Even though John Ridley didn't have the rights to use Jimi's music in the film. He did a fantastic job without the music showing us Jimi's journey. By the way, did I mention Andre 3000 who played Jimi Hendrix did an incredible job.  Andre 3000 is one of the singers from the successful music group called Outkast. He captured the soul of the musical genius and charming us along the way. I'm ready to move to London to walk down the same streets that Jimi walked, lol. He made it look so cool!

For those of you who aren't familiar, Jimi Hendrix was a guitar player from United States. Who relocated to London to become one of the greatest, iconic guitar players of all time. The movie is about his life when he left New York City to embark on that journey. Andre's co stars Hayley Atwell and Imogen Poots were also outstanding as well. Basically, all I can say is the Movie is a must see and it's worth the extra driving to experience it.
