D.I.Y. Rock Star Rewind: TOO old for this sh*t! (August 2022)
My gift…. — AND I STILL “overslept” this morning, felt kinda crappy and had to remind myself that waking up—and getting started—early is MY gift to MYSELF, which means that it’s WORTH it even when NOONE is “looking.” 🤷🏽♀️ In fact, I think it’s even MORE valuable, because it means the quality of my day, mood, and fitness will be the better BECAUSE of it. So, needless to say, I got my ass out of bed and here I am on the treadmill. 🤷🏽♀️😬🏃🏾♀️ 10 Reasons you should buy a

Revved up…. — Yes! I can feel how much BETTER I have gotten over the years! I feel like I manage the workflow AT WORK and AT HOME in such a better way! Not only do I NOT freak out—EVEN when I am tempted to! 😳—but I just take a deep breath, resolve to return to my list of priorities, choose the first one, two, or three, set my timer, and get to work toward it. Almost as SOON as I begin, I get engrossed in the activity and IMMEDIATELY calm the fuck down! 🧘🏾♂️ What’s more is
D.I.Y. Rock Star Rewind: Trippy Anticipation (April 2022) ✈️
I, literally, don’t have ANYTHING to fucking complain about this month….🤷🏽♀️ —Oh, except that the South By Southwest trip nearly snuck up upon before I had booked the airfare. 😬🙄 —I am going to chalk that up to the disappointment we felt two years ago….. When we were getting ready to pack for the trip and two weeks before, the entire world shut down for a pandemic that was supposed to last 3 weeks.

D.I.Y. Rock Star Rewind: Not Sweating Anything (March 2022) 😅
Rough Start — It’s amazing that yesterday turned out so well, because, as you know, it started out very poorly, attitude-wise for me. My stomach was in knots, I didn’t feel like I was accomplishing much, and doubted my abilities to be able to leverage the time the way I had originally envisioned it. But I kept GOING. Despite everything. And that’s all I COULD do to keep from just breaking down and throwing up my hands. I just kept saying to myself that, even if I WASN'T able

D.I.Y. Rock Star Rewind: Thrown in Facebook Jail… Again 🙄 (May 2021)
Yep, in trouble… —I originally had a completely different message for you all this month. I wanted to talk about the need to plan and about how excited we are that we seem to be coming out of the pandemic (and what that will mean for the D.I.Y. Rock Star). But then I found myself in Facebook jail… which caused me to pivot and talk about the importance of diversifying your methods of distribution. Again.

Is there a “sexy” was to say it? 🥓 (April 2021)
So, yeah, there’s no sexy way to say it. What I am looking for is a way to use the idea of “efficiency” as my word of the year. You know… that idea of working smart and not hard. When tasked with choosing a word for the year—an idea that appealed to me from the Happier podcast, Episode 254—that’s the idea that has been drawing me back.
