Look who has a new GoFundMe!

Dear Friends,

Earlier this year I posted on FaceBook that I was almost done writing my first book, getting ready to upload it to CreateSpace. After considering my pro writer/editor sister Tracy’s feedback that it seemed like I was leaving out some of the juiciest stuff, I realized to my dismay that she was right, and that if I was serious about the project, I would have to set my shyness and self-consciousness aside.  So I dove back in and started filling in the gaps.

With little things.

Things that I don’t talk about to most people.

Like, well, the times I was visited by radiant and loving ET’s.

And the conversation I had with Jesus that changed EVERYTHING.

Like the things I learned about being an empath and how to take care of myself while deepening my relationship with my creativity.

Like my evolving journey with suicidal urges, and strategies I discovered for allowing the intensity of these feelings to deepen my passionate commitment to life.

And this was just a start.

When I decided to share some of the stories about how my perspective formed for the intuitive work I do and the music I make, I embarked on a whole new journey.  It has taken me a while to come back up for air. But this time when I put down the pen 120 additional pages later and shared the new manuscript with Tracy, her response came back: “polished gold”.

I was about to hit the button again to publish with CreateSpace when I had a well-timed conversation with another friend and ally, Karen Stuth with Satiama.com . Karen has been in the business of publishing award-winning books and products that help us to expand consciousness. She has helped me to promote my music and reach a much broader audience than I ever would have by myself.

During our conversation, she gave me super strong and well-researched advice to avoid CreateSpace, and gave me some suggestions for how to self-publish successfully. I realized that I wanted to hire her to help me get the book out to a wider audience, helping me to raise the necessary funds to print, market, organize book tours, get professional reviews, connect with major distribution channels, and all other kinds of things that I couldn’t do alone.  All of this costs money; Karen's fees are only a small percentage of the budget. She's willing to wait until after funds are raised to get paid for much of her work; however I will need some help to raise the initial funds to get started working with her.

Would you consider buying a book in advance of publishing?Quote from

Yes I would buy that.

But the catch-22 is that I only buy stupid self-help books from people who are poor, weird and hopeless. Getting 16k from anonymous internet strangers so you can distribute your book makes you neither.

The latest episode of the Dollop covers One Taste. It is quite something.

One Taste is back in the news. Hopefully that person managed to avoid getting into it because their gofundme failed. There is a Netflix doc.

Oh yeah if it wasn't clear in the episode, I didn't pursue the lead to make an episode on this because like most actual cults, it's actually horrifying and not funny once you look into it

Meditation Deathmatch has existed for a while. It's a CD-ROM game called Journey to Wild Divine. You put sensors on your fingertips and have to raise or lower your heart rate to complete puzzles!
