Last night, I attempted to go to the Alice Coltrane art exhibition opening at the Hammer in LA (but despite showing up early they‘d already hit capacity for the event womp womp)
Anyways I had it booked if this happened I’d head to the World Stage in Leimert Park just 20-minutes east for some jazz. And y’all… it’s been on my list to get to this side of town and check it out - blown away. Amazing talent coming through here.
If you’re a fan of jazz, please check it out. I’ll for sure be back ☆♪

6th Ave and 4th st! Their open mic is on Thursdays and was one of my favorite things to do ever. A wild mix of okay comedy and amazing world music. Really strange array of people.

Over the last few years, I’ve started to purchase DVDs at the thrift store whenever I find a favorite or one I’ve been meaning to watch. They’re always super duper cheap (I’m talking a buck a pop) and it’s easy to check they’re in good condition.
Now I can always have my fave movies and shows on deck because eff’ these greeding streaming services 🖕🏽

My eldest kitty Moose was rescued through a foster network I was volunteering with, he is a very good goofy boy and I love his little “antlers” on his forehead!
My youngest kitty Lady Bug (the space between “Lady” and “Bug” is important as her noble title should always be addressed), is only a few months old but so brave and cuddly! Her little grinch hairs behind her ears are my fave.

In 2024, I experienced grief in all of its stages. Fundamentally it changed me - for better or worse? I’m working on that with my therapist.
I found myself listening to this song *a lot* throughout the year. Maybe it was the vulnerable and relatable lyrics mashed up with a uplifting melody, but something about the final lines…
*“It's that little souvenir of a colorful year
Which makes me smile inside”*
… always got to me. Hopeful, might be the feeling. Especially since it’s the only point in the song that she doesn’t reference it as a terrible year. To me it felt like she wanted autonomy over how she wanted her song, her story on the year to end. She defines it, rather than it defines her.
You can’t control when grief happens to you, but you can control how you decide to navigate through it. Maybe, just maybe, I could look back at my grief and let it go.
