What’s Next?

by admin June 3, 2020

I have always asked a lot of questions. I have been this way since I was a little girl. I am not afraid to talk with people with different perspectives. I actually value what they have to say. I want to know ‘why’.

My fairy god mother and I would drive around in her bright yellow VW bug. She would smoke, I would put out her cigarette at the age of 5. The questions would follow after I put out each cigarette. I wanted to know, WHY? We would cruise to the local galleries and museums…I was intrigued with life, culture and people. I wanted to understand humanity on a deeper level. I am still that way today. I love talking with people. I have deep compassion for humanity and want to engage in meaningful conversations and thoughtful debate with as many people that are willing. I love those conversations. That is hard to come by these days. Typically, I am immediately sized up, judged, told I am not worthy, threatened, blocked or wished to get ill/die. Yet, I am still that little 5 year old girl, asking a lot of questions. I am still that little girl that wants the best for my fairy god mother and humanity. If I ever get the chance to write about my great love affair it will be all about my love for HUMANITY. I am riveted by the human condition. The tenuous dance between duality, consciousness and inner and outer evolution. It captivates me.

Which, is why…MY HEART feels broken today. As I bared witness, to ‘what is’ unfolding across AMERICA, I thought surely the other cities will prepare. When, I realized this was not going to happen here in Long Beach, California I was filled with WHYS?

Then, my investigative reporting side kicked in. We drove directly into the belly of the BEAST. You can see one of the videos below this post. See in my great love affair with HUMANITY, I have a few achilles tendons. One is I will that react when HUMANITY is being manipulated and/or if someone is being treated differently or unfair. I have been this way all my life. I have always advocated for those who are not given equality or being held hostage to situations beyond their control. So, here is where this situation gets REAL for ME. The HUMANS are being manipulated and put in a very dangerous position not by our FEDERAL GOVERNMENT but by our LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. Simply put that elevates my heart rate and instinctively puts me into PROTECTOR mode. I have jumped out of a moving car to help another HUMAN. I am pretty sure this part of me will only deepen verses fall away. Especially, how I instinctively wanted to STOP the MILITANT GROUPs in their tracks. I WANTED TO KNOW…WHY? My heart is heavy because today I realize our local leaders across the USA and world are clearly not FOR HUMANITY. Otherwise, they would have taken proactive measures…NO MATTER ‘WHO’ IS DEMANDING THEY DO OTHERWISE.

SO, my question to ALL LOCAL CITY Officials and all of humanity rest here…

Where were you all on Saturday and SUNDAY?

The surrounding cities are ‘A DAY LATE’ and a ‘DOLLAR SHORT’.

Why did you all decide not ‘TO BE’ proactive?

You all must have seen what was unfolding in 29 cities across the USA. You all have access to intel that the public does not have. You all heard the DOJ announce that these were planned and coordinated interstate attacks on Saturday and FEDERAL CRIMES.

Why did you all wait?
Why did you encourage peaceful protest?
Why did you not move the demonstrations to OPEN PUBLIC SPACES (BEACHES, PARKS, MOUNTAIN TOPS, ZOOM and more SAFE SPACES….SAFETY FIRST)
?

Why did you all avoid setting up the businesses and shopping/business districts for security?

(Dropping off plywood, blocking off roads in, and putting the national guard in sooner to protect the infrastructure)

Why did the local municipalities fail to take STRATEGIC ACTion?

I am deeply shocked by what I saw Sunday and saddened. WATCHING HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DESTROYING BUSINESSES WITH NO ONE STOPPING THEM. This is A BIG WHY for LONG BEACH and CITIES across AMERICA…Especially, because this city (“Long BEACH”) organizes like no other city I have ever been part of. The clean up today and ply-wood store fronts were well orchestrated. That should have happened on Saturday. I want to know WHY?

In the future, LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES please consider CONSULTING PROFESSIONALS, TACTILE MILITARY PROFESSIONAL in the PRIVATE SECTOR to assist GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS in making decisions. It is clear to me that PUBLIC OFFICIALS have NO ‘real’ RISK MANAGEMENT experience (or natural ideas on the value of taking risks) from COVID to RIOTS. We CAN DO BETTER. I think it is time to ‘TAKE OFF THE MASKS’ and have a HEART to HEART. STOP POLICING ‘US’.

Clearly ‘THE PEOPLE’ could have done better by their communities than our local agencies. I value the possibilities of a city infrastructure; yet, I have lost FAITH IN it over the last 3 months. WE THE PEOPLE will need to consider how we can take care of our communities, heal together and transform into something that works in symbiosis with each other. This is POSSIBLE.

HUMANITY YOU ARE THE ONES YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. While, my heart is broken, I will never stop loving and championing for the HUMANITY in all of US.

(CLARIFICATION… I have been accused of being “racist”. Anyone that knows me well…knows that is absolutely a false claim. I am honestly asking these questions because I am concerned for the city I love and the country we live in. I am concerned for humanity. I have raised my kids in Long Beach because I love the diversity and community of all life. My plight in life is to foster healing and transformation for aspects of humanity that I get to serve. Finally, I am not involved in politics nor am I affiliated with any political party. I stay informed and research ‘what is’. Then, I work with that body of information to serve where I can to create change.)

WHAT’s NEXT?

enlighten me

The trend of yoga, mindfulness, ritual and spiritual mystique that has become commonplace in health, wellness, business, entertainment, athletics and personal lives globally. In fact, it is a multi-billion dollar industry. In addition, there are billions of photos on the World Wide Web documenting and expressing these practices, teachings, selfies, goods and more. All of which probably support and inspire many in one way or another. Yet, are any of these odes truly a sign of one’s level of consciousness or indicator they ARE or Soon TO BE” enlightened?

I would respond, “NO.” In fact, it is quite the opposite. Most of what is portrayed as sacred or wisdom has an essence of grasping underplayed by the beautiful mask that is offered. The mask contains seeds that will eventually awaken in the pretender and in those who sip it up. (Click Here to Read More)

Mother Nature knows best…see what is growing near you to support this transition. Food will always serve as the catalyst to your well being and joy to be experienced in this life.

As inspired, start a small garden of herbs to welcome in the new season and/or visit your local farmers market.

I’m happy to share that I’ll be presenting at the I’m happy to share that I’ll be presenting at the Sedona Yoga Festival, taking place April 23–26, 2026, in Sedona, Arizona. Sedona Yoga Festival is a gathering rooted in something increasingly rare: coming together in person, in a place of natural beauty and cultural significance, to study, practice, and reflect as a community. Set among Sedona’s red rocks and sacred landscapes, the Festival creates space not just for inspiration, but for meaningful learning, professional development, and service. 

SYF brings together dedicated teachers, students, and practitioners from a wide range of lineages and backgrounds for four days of education, practice, and conversation. The programming includes yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, philosophy, and embodied inquiry…offered in a way that supports both seasoned professionals and sincere students who want to deepen their understanding. 

What makes this gathering special for me is the balance it strikes: rigorous teaching alongside reverence for place, personal practice alongside collective care. It’s an opportunity to step out of the digital stream, be in relationship with one another, and remember why these teachings matter: not just on the mat, but in how we live and serve. 

I would love for you to join me there. 

You can use my discount code to receive 15% off Festival passes. CODE: Toro

Heart + Mind Food At the present moment, being a Heart + Mind Food

At the present moment, being a HUMan is intense for most of humanity. The veil has fully dropped everywhere…including in and around you. During this historic universal moment, your greatest human gift to assist you is your capacity to CARE. It can be tempting to BLAME SHIFT and explain away all that has become fully visible. This often occurs because cognitive dissonance is arising. The reason for this is to give your heart and mind a moment to protect themselves and process a new body of information. I encourage you to be gentle with yourself and others. Compassion and patience will be your additional allies.

Digesting global HUMAN betrayal, in your mind, body, heart and soul can be disorienting and lead to mental, physical, emotional and/or spiritual imbalance. My simple advice to you is do not go into things/those matters which you cannot comprehend. Protect your mind, heart, and soul. If you need someone to help you process, I am here. I know more than I care to know about this world system. I am here to help any of you ground, retain love and stay in forward motion. Another option is go outside and lie on the earth and/or hug a tree. We (the elders and I) have witnessed these moments, long before now, we have witnessed that humanity will win. The best thing anyone of us can do is stay in divine love and objective awareness. Ground in your community that you know and trust. From there, you will be led. Humanity will organically reorganize and innately know how to support one another. This is a process and will take many solar returns; yet, here we are. The home stretch has arrived! For all of you who are being cracked wide open by memories and suppressed emotions, it is very important that you are supported. There are many ways to allow those electromagnetic land mines release and roll out of you. You are not alone. 

I love you HUMANITY. Let’s GO…Peacefully and in LOVE.

*I wanted to add here there is universal law. No one is exempt. It is traceable. Simply put it is cause and effect. Karma. The imprints we make with thoughts, words, & actions are positive (benefits) negative (diminishes) or neutral (no feedback loop). #awareness
