"When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt," someone wise once said. It seems an apt description of the life of Sri Daya Mata, who led the Self Realization Fellowship for the past 55 years. I never saw her pontificating on TV or quoted in news stories, as is often the case with other religious leaders. I never heard tell of any scolding or finger-wagging on the part of this spiritual woman. As far as I can tell, she lived in the spirit of Gandhi's famous words: "My life is my message."

There's a small revolution going on in Mount Washington. Like others before it, the revolution involves pitchforks and shovels, rocks and boards, blood and bone. But the staging grounds are front yards and backyards, patios and terraces, balconies and decks.

Learning about organic composting, trick-or-treating in City Hall, visiting Fluffy the Snake while on regular field trips to the Audubon Center, and literally learning to walk! These are a few of the memorable moments that our infants, toddlers, and preschoolers enjoyed this year.

There weren’t a lot of donors who showed up, but those who did contribute were very GENEROUS!!!

Panel Discussion – Siqueiros Mural

It seems like everywhere one turns in LA this fall, there are events and exhibits about "Siqueiros", David Alfaro Siqueiros, one of the three great Mexican muralists. There is an exhibit at the Autry about the artist, an exhibit of his art at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach and local galleries are also exhibiting his work. The City of Los Angeles has a history with this famous artist; we have a mural that he painted in the heart of the city.
