Holy poop emoji! I wrote a book.
When I cry tears of joy, I say that I’m leaking awesome. You’ve made me leak so much awesome in the past two days since I started taking pre-orders for my book How to Rock Your Life: Maintain the Magic of Live Music in Your Everyday Experience. So much so, that I’ve had to up my water…
I’m an impostor
There are times when I don’t have rainbows shooting out of my ass. Here’s a story about one of those times: My heart sank down past my gut into my root chakra until it quickly plummeted to the ground at full speed smashing into a million pieces of biodegradable glitter. These feelings of dread were…
