I've been in a lot of public restrooms in Los Angeles. I have to say they have not been all that great. I've been at the train stop bathrooms with the sliding door. I've been in the beach bathrooms. I even been in the blue porta potties along the city, you know the ones that are out during parades. And I even been in a bathroom on the top of the mountain with a snake in it😱 the best bathroom I've been in among all the others was at Union station. It was amazing it was classical music playing when you walked in mirrors that wasn't smudged clean floors, sinks and toilets.  Here are some pictures 🤣 I wish I took a audio of the 🎶 Shout out to all their staff 💯😊 -Photo's Taken By, Jodie Spartz

 Saturday 5/21/22 Hubby took me for a stroll through LA. It all started because I wanted 2 go 2 Walmart. I love Walmart it's my favorite store. I don't attract to Target for some reason I never did. No disrespect 2 people who shop there, get your target on boo! I was told that people out here mostly shop Costco. I haven't been there yet. I don't know anything about that store but I said I will try it out. It's also way closer than far ass Walmart in Hawthorne CA. Anyway the day went great 😊 The Statue of Antonio Aguilar. I don't know that dude but I dig his statue 🗽 We strolled through this area on Olvera St. that reminded me of Christmas village in Philly, just with a Mexican twist😊 It was Fabulous! I wish I had gotten a better pic but I was so in awe of everything. I am going back to get me one of those cute lil handbags they had.  Off to Chinatown  The Grand Entrance May u be prosperous in everything u do 💯 Oh the sights to see. One day I will venture to

  ERL Dior had a Fashion Show on Venice Beach on 5/19/2021      Was it an amazing show? and I bet you assume I was there? Well the answer 2 ur first question is, I don't know I literally found out about the show like a half hour before it started. The answer 2 ur second question is, I did get to go down and catch some of the energy of the buzzing beach and yes that was fun. Also hit a couple after parties and got some free treats! The sight outside of the show! People watching from outside, so what they couldn't get in😆 After Party treats, California, California😍 It smoked quite nicely😁 -Photo's taken by, Jodie Spartz

       This was the most amazing hike I've been on so far and I've been hiking since a child. A great energy was shared together and each of us had our own spiritual experience even tho one was with the other. We learned that we can get through anything together, because I told you there were moments I thought I wasn't going to make it off that hill. I'm so disappointed in myself that I have to do it again to prove to me that I'm stronger, that's something personal.    His shadow whispering sweet everything's, her shadow listens. What he was actually telling her was the only way down the hill was back the way they came😢 You have got to be kidding me 3 miles back😫 Ok let's go.  Through the Olympic Forest we went🙏 We made it to the end and learned several different lessons about our bodies. For me,  who I think I am, because a lot of times I see myself way different in my head. Until I get scared of a damn chipmunk (I thought I was tough) because I neve

            As we came across the bridge we entered a beautiful clearing. Walking to the edge allowed for some nice photos of Los Angeles.     Just beautiful😍 On to find the waterfall. We ended up taking an abandoned path, when the signs clearly stated DO NOT go off the trail. We are who we are so a lost trail we blazed and arrived right at the waterfall. I mean we did have to climb a lil fence because we just popped out of a clearing. I think Hubby may have even startled a woman😅 I now share the Waterfall we walked  3 miles for, at the top of the hill! There were Daisy's at the bottom what a peaceful sight💜 Now because we decided to come off the trail we almost missed the Japanese Garden. Let me tell you I seen a lot of animals on this journey, I didn't get pictures of them all because some were moving too fast. I saw Ducks, Pigeons, Road Runners, a snake greeted me in the bathroom and it wasn't a garden snake. I was too shook to get a photo, man I wish I did though. I

  We were about a mile in and decided to look at a map.  Of course I noticed the Garden, waterfall and Forest  a nd wanted to go! Of course this destination was another 2 miles away👊  But hey I wanted to go an we had all day. It was no joke climbing that High, I can't even imagine what rock climbing is going to be like! We were 375ft above sea level😳 ☺More beautiful scenery ☺ The Lavender Chiveevi Art was breathtaking!  The last stop before crossing the bridge was the Lemon grove we picked lemons off the tree. My Husband picked one of the biggest lemons I've ever seen in my life! He talkin about it was so big it was bigger than the SUN😑 😂 He went on to say it he didn't pick it, it picked HIM💞 I don't think a picture did it justice. So there is just me and my lemon😒 Across the Bridge we went... Omg look how far!   Just a bit closer! What was on the other side?

  I woke up on Saturday May 14th in my California bedroom just so tired from my week. I cooked breakfast for myself and husband and took a nap. I woke up about 12pm and said to my husband that I wanted to go on a hike. Now we had been on hikes before in Philadelphia and Fort Lauderdale Florida, I mean I saw some thangs at the Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, In Philly not so much. Well this man took me on a damn hike! We climbed the side of the Baldwin Hills! Here are some of the pictures to give you a better understanding of our Journey. What I saw when I looked up😬.    What I saw when I looked Down 👀     I figured the only place to go was up. I was pretty curious to see what the top held, seeing as how I came all this way to be in the middle. Especially since I walked through this 😓                                                                                           There are parts that I can't show because I could not take a picture. I was so tired Hubby had to literally p

  My pain has been my refuge for so so many years. The majority of my life is full of crazy tears, today I cry tears I didn't even know I had. The entirety of my life thus far, my story is so sad, It makes me shake my head a lot. I have a habit of putting myself on the spot. My pain has been my refuge for sooooo many years, I've cried and I've cried so many tears.  I'll let yo in, I let you know that I'm truly afraid to let it go. Does that mean I forget? Does that mean I don't care? This is reality as real as it gets, Smh My life so far has truly been the pits. So let me put this pen down, and don't you cry for me The creator gives grace, mercy & blessings so there's still hope you see! Jodie Spartz 2/6/2013 Date written  -photo taken by, Rebelucien

  I see myself in a lot of things  but I don't see myself in you. If you're supposed to be a reflection of me, a mess I must be. You don't make me look good  you make me look dumb. People actually wonder where I got you from! I did everything I was not intended to. So the creator said ok sis, I see you don't wanna be true, so you will get everything coming to YOU!

  You Gotta wonder, you gotta ask yourself, is it worth succeeding or going under? You gotta wonder, you gotta ask yourself, what's so special about being me? I gotta wonder, I gotta know, is this how you live life, blow by blow? It took me a while to wake up and see there has to be a point to just being me. I often wonder how my story will end my son, ya know he just turned 10. A man i'm raising, my son to the bone I wish my grand-mom and others would just leave me alone! I have some dark secrets, yeah I have a past Sometimes I just think of old things and laugh. As you see I have a back story I don't know about you, my story honey, yes it's all true!

  Thoughts that Plague my mind I wake up with thoughts all the time thoughts that plague my mind I obsess over these thoughts even when I don't want to I usually have to keep them to myself in order not to traumatize everybody else Nobody wants to hear the things that scare and drive a person mad they rather act like it's not there even though you feel sad. It's actually up to you to heal you, it's not a job for someone else to do. There are people that are paid to help be your guide hopefully there will be someone personal to ride by your side. If you have no one this poem is for you Recovery is real and healing is true It takes a lot of self work to become the real you!                                                                                                         Jodie Spartz -Original Stone Carving by, Rebelucien

 Example for Little girls Little girls feel they have to prove themselves however they can Especially when they get them flirty looks from a man. They begin budding here and there, then they flaunt themselves without a care Boys, some of them boys don't even be thinking about them but they will flaunt themselves so they can see them. Is it the boy or mans fault if these little girls are doing what they see, or been taught? We must teach our little girls not to be fast, just because they are growing tits & ass! I don't know if I should apologize for my candidness or not but a lot of these little girls think they are so hot we need to stop them in their tracks, helping them to understand to value themselves more than that.

My Best  If u can't handle me at my best, u sure don't deserve me at my best! Where were u when my life was a mess? Can u even say, u stuck with me, yes? No hell no you couldn't even buy me that dress. New Edition had a song that asked, can u sand the rain? All u see is rain when there is so much pain. U expect me to do this alone, yeah by myself then when I get on top u wanna share the wealth. If u can't handle me at my best, U sure don't deserve me at my best! Blood, sweat and tears, nowhere could I find rest. Now as I sit here in this big leather chair, seated behind my desk, and the sign on my door say CEO yes! bye boy u couldn't hold it down at my "worst" so u definitely don't deserve me at my best!  Jodie "2013" -Original Stone Carving by, Rebelucien

  Through my tears I write Through my tears I write, I continue 2 see the children you gave to me there were 3  Now there's only one I can touch and see. I live my life everyday as if nothings wrong,  I carry this burden all day long. So through my tears I write I miss my children so much I barely got to know them some memories fade that was ay back when. So helpless I was, immature, reckless and rude but the infinite spirit was watching, Even through my tears my children are with people who love and care. The truth of the matter is that it was only a tragedy for me My tears have dried reality sets in. The infinite spirit creator gave me a chance to live again Yes pieces are missing from my puzzle I'm hoping there the kind you find. I definitely crossed a line!                                                                                                                                             Sincerely,
