Hello Gorgeous Ones!

September has come and gone but you wouldn't know it from the scorching Valley heat waves!

As October curves around the bend, with the promise of crisp fall breezes, we invite you to join us this Thursday for a fun evening hosted by Off Hollywood Media.

Life Changes Live! boasts stellar musical performances, internationally recognized healer and author Dr. Eric Pearl, and a array of vendors (including yours truly!) and radio talk show hosts. Visit the website for more information: http://www.lifechanges.ws/
Hope to see you there!

Made in the Valley in the Daily News!

Hello gorgeous friends!

Check out this Daily News feature write-up about Made in the Valley, The Valley Girls Grew Up!

For the full article go to: http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_13146027

"...Susan Kushnatsian of Porter Ranch cast aside a child care agency she ran for years after launching Bee Gorgeous, an organic skin care line, two years ago. She started the business after she experimented with making her own products because she's allergic to nearly everything selling on store shelves. Kushnatsian knew she was onto something good after customers lined up at a Green Expo in 2008 at the Los Angeles Convention Center for her homemade lip balm, lotions and all-in-one cleanser and moisturizer. Even during the recession, Kushnatsian has found a reliable customer base by selling her handmade line to boutiques on trendy Melrose Avenue and in Venice. She also has celebrity clients. Meeting with other business owners involved in Made in the Valley keeps her motivated. "There's so much going on at the meetings, and you leave with this whole attitude of `I can do it,"' she said...

How I know that things always get better

I'm not going to tell you that it feels easy
Maybe this morning you woke up under a heap of stones
I won't tell you that it doesn't feel
thin or frail
I know how the ironwood can be used to intimidate the skeletal withstand
I know what it means
to dote over a handful of bread
I know how it is to wake up with a mouthful of tears

Just this moment doesn't erase a heated scar
Doesn't move across the sky like a collapsed bone--
Doesn't hold you in that place that waits,
like oxblood, red, in a river of stones

But I do know what it means to lift your eyes up
I do know what it's like to look for the cottonwood
to long for a single reprieve--
I can tell you about the sugar loaf
bruised by a handful of lemon
I can tell you how commodious pain
dipped behind the bloodbone
and came up reborn

See I'm not going to tell you that I received it easily
The most stubborn of thorns would be a witness in my side
But I will tell you
with hands full
with a clean heart-
that I do know what it's like to raise up a meal
of simple rice, yams a little bit of chicken & stew
to teary eyes that watched a memory
broken in the half moon of early morning
eyes that watched a ribbon of smoke dancing up from that plate of warm food
dancing like a woman alone on a Friday night;
Dig, hip-bone grind--lean into it again
and raise her arms to the sky


Hoping you have a lovely week!

Bee Well, Bee Loved, Bee Gorgeous
