The coolest thing I’ve created…ever.
My best Brett and I agreed we needed a project yesterday, so we decided to shoot a music video with her iPhone 8mm app. I recorded the music, and then jetted to Brett’s soon-to-be ex-casa, with a few outfit changes. We shot for a few hours, and then I went home to finally teach myself iMovie. (cake, btw’s) about 10 hours of editing later, I present to you, my very 1st music video <3
We had so much fun making this! Alysse is a GODDESS and I love co-creating with her.
So we did this.
I love you guys. Oh my goodness. SO RAD!!
This kid is our future. Pretty amazing.

Read moreYou were on your way home when you died.
It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off. Trust me.
And that’s when you met me.
“What… what happened?” You asked. “Where am I?”
“You died,” I said, matter-of-factly. No point mincing words.
If this isn’t another awesome sign from the Universe, then I don’t know what is. The place I am moving to and the place I’m grew up on the same page of an article called “Dream Towns.”
No such thing as coincidence.
5 days.
Well, I’m following my dreams and moving to Vista, California on September 14th.
For years I’ve felt a pull towards the west coast, and I finally decided it’s time to stop making excuses and go.
Do I know for certain what will happen from there? No. Do I know if I’ll stay there? No. That’s okay. It’s a step in a new direction.
As a friend of mine and Zen saying puts it, “Leap and the net will appear.”
