D.I.Y. Rock Star Rewind: Dang! ANOTHER new season… 🍂 (August 2024)

Dang! ANOTHER new season… 🍂

I KNOW I have been talking about it ALOT lately, but we’re in a new SEASON–one that I would NEVER really hope for, but which is here and we’ve got to get through it, so that we can get THROUGH it. –As you know, we’re healing from Bruce’s big, scary health crisis, but we want to find a path forward that ends with us creating some great content, yet NOT exposing all the minute details that we detest SO much on social media. –So, YES, we ARE picking and choosing what to share, because I am sure, once we’re on the OTHER side of this, we MAY have a different perspective on what happened and why. –We will share THAT when the time has come that we have gleaned some more, but for right NOW, I am just trying to maintain my sanity, keep the enterprises afloat, and provide whatever support I can for Bruce and for you all, who depend on us to keep you inspired.

Labor Day Discounts! Check out our sale! Everything in the store—except exclusive merch—is on sale at 65% off. Through September 10, use discount code: LABORDAY

Travel is important, right?! ✈️

–To THAT end, we are planning to take our first trip, since ALL of this happened. We’re going to try to keep it simple, but inspiring, but will share whatever we learn as a result of our adventure. –AND I know that we are BLESSED to be able to do so and THAT is NOT lost on us. We will share more, as the planning unfolds.

Welcome back, Bruce! 🫶🏾

Thank YOU so much! 🥰

–In the meantime, we feel the need to THANK YOU for continuing to support us in our journey. We were SO thrilled that Stefano Santo bought three albums in the Tony Webb collection (from Makati City, Philippines)! https://bit.ly/twebbfunkbandcamp Also, we are continuing to see our YouTube following grow! –We’re at 96k now! –We NEVER thought we could get to one of those shiny 100K plaques, but with the artist mentoring funnel (add link) continuing to send folks over there to listen, we MIGHT really be well on our way. –If you can share the link with folks YOU think might like the channel, THAT would be AMAZING!
