Homeless and Stressed.........life couch surfing and beyond

Queen Ra here, well thanks to the kindness of a good friend, I got a spot on his air mattress couch.  My days start at 6am getting ready to go the Downtown Women's Center for breakfast and some days if get there at 6am they give away clothes....

During the morning I see the early morning drug dealers and homeless getting up and putting their tents up..There is one angel I see every morning and get a HUG from his name is Timothy but he never lets me take his picture.  There is another gentleman I see every morning who is dressed to the utmost and I am taking daily pictures of him on a series I am calling "SwaG DTLA"  These are the famous MOONEY Twins and they defintely have SWAGG!

So I am so tired.....on the bus, fighting being cold at night and in the morning and then hot during the day..carrying around my lap top and cameras so I can do my work!

But when I see these angels I get strength to keep moving toward my blessings!

I just got my cell phone on and the keys to my daughters rented room..which both of us are not allowed to live in..without giving the landlord an extra $100 for rent and the rent is already at $650 for room less than 300sqft large and separate full bathroom.

I love music and I just got this free download from DjLorest France check it and enjoy!

Today we met at 11:30am to do a few pop up performances of Micro History of Economics (danced)

People downtown looked at us like we were criminals and some even ignored us....weird.

But we had fun anyway...bringing our art to the people!
