Learning To Fly

As today felt like the perfect Sunday to stay in bed, enjoy the warmth and the nothings to do - once in a while, to really just breathe and make the most of being alive without pushing yourself or anything big. I have decided that random Atticus quotes to celebrate Atticus days (a sale/event/ conversation starter Atticus is running on all platforms). Enjoy!

This is a mini-episode interviewing my friend, Foxy, about the charity stream in honor of her friend Raz, who recently passed away. There are no ads in this episode because the whole thing is kind of an ad. Just a reminder: there are so many ways to support and help - even if you are unable to donate directly.

Today's episode is a little different. I recently learned that a dear friend of a fabulous friend has passed away. And a circle that I am in and out of is going to begin hosting an 8 day Charity live stream event on Twitch.tv beginning tomorrow morning and 10am EST and ending on the 18th of October at 2am EST. These poems are of nostalgia and longing. Because these are things I'm currently feeling. Please give these links a look, a listen or a follow if you have the time and ability. 

Here is a link for discord server dedicated to the stream and any future events for this cause: https://discordapp.com/channels/@me/764186650858618920/764275579733147709

This is just a sweet simple episode dedicated to a lovely friend and the artist of the current learning to fly icon!

This episode showcases a conversation I had with poet Tayllor Johnson as we talked about her latest project Sisterhood (verb). And a little about writing through the Covid-19 quarantine as well.

The start of this episode is sharing some news with all of you. The rest of it is a mixture of shorter poems I've written this year. Tomorrow there will be a guest star I'm super excited about. And by Thursday my game plan for this project will have been redefined. 

This episode features some of my favorite poems from the Atticus collection "The Dark Between Stars". Happy Monday everyone!

This episode is intended for those Sunday Mornings where you're curled up in bed with a good book, a journal, and some rain outside. 

Play more video games and read more poetry! Especially while quarantine is still going strong in so many places! Besides, it's a Saturday and for the most part you shouldn't go anywhere, so let's have fun in a different way!
