PARTY!! Launch of Kids’ Book, Luna Needs a Miracle!, Combines Family, Food & Fiesta!
Sunday, Aug. 16, 2009, 12:30 – 2 pm!

San Jose, Calif., July 10, 2009 – Just in time for “Back to School,” local talents announce the release of bilingual children’s book, “Luna Needs a Miracle!” with a book launch party at the Ste. Claire Hotel in downtown San Jose, Calif., on Sunday, August 16, 2009 from 12:30 – 2:30 pm. The book was written by starred chef of more than 20 years, Paul Luna, and illustrated by college student, Gabrielle Gramegna—both South Bay residents. While the event is free, attendees must RSVP, as space is limited and the chef will execute a variety of treats. (Call (408) 271-3358, (808) 344-0958 or email info@chefluna.com to RSVP.)

Aged more than 20 years apart, the unlikely pair combined their talents to bring to life the story of a young Spanish-speaking boy, also named Luna, who experiences the fear of not speaking English on his first day at school and learns the magic of the unspoken. (more…)

I was mentioned in Atlanta’s Creative Loafing and so was “Luna Needs a Miracle!” (Make sure to order one for $20 + S&H through this website, www.ChefLuna.com–while limited supplies last, of course.)

What is free?  What does it mean?  Free of ambition, greed, prejudice, pleasure, pain, sorrow.  You go to a restaurant and management buys you a glass of wine, complimentary, hence free. Is it free?  It may be free to you but not free to the restaurant.  Understanding what’s free is understanding what is to be prisoned.  Am I a prisoner of thinking, thought?  Is the mind limited?  Will I forever be a prisoner of what I think therefore live the past?  Think is thought.  That is a fact.  That is how we think.  You think present live the past.  Do you understand the problem?  We have been conditioned to think.  Why?  It is not difficult to understand the world’s problem is you and I.  You and I are the cause of the problem.  What is difficult to believe without belief is you do not know why. Ask yourself  the question: Am I born to be?
