As you know this year is an important year, and that’s why I’m emailing you today. Check out what’s going on below! Larry would be proud that I have decided to use the RSL Music Guide as a catalyst for us all to leave a lasting legacy. Here’s Our Chance to Leave a Legacy In order for an angel investor to fund the 2018 RSL Music Guide, we need to raise $11,000 for Josie’s Well/Water Access Now, a nonprofit to build a water well for safe water in Ghana. We have until August 15th to raise the funds and still get the Music Guide produced and to the playa. So let’s work together to create the music guide, create lasting change in Ghana, and leave a lasting legacy. The Why: The Story I didn’t realize how powerful leaving a legacy was until I attended AfrikaBurn in 2017. It was in the wee hours of the morning, sitting under the DMV’s red beduin tent while sipping South African boxes wine at sunrise, that I engaged in philosophical conversations with AfrikaBurn founders Paul Fletcher, Paul Jorgensen, and Robert Weinek. In those wee hours we discussed, “What comes next, from Leave No Trace?” These beautiful, gritty influencers had an intention: Leave a Legacy. For AfrikaBurn it looked like this: save plywood from dismantled camps and build outbuildings for a local school; collect leftover non-perishable food and stock an orphanage’s pantry. “We have so much,” they all agreed. Then earlier this summer I met an eleven year old girl named Josie, from Seattle Washington area, who at age nine, raised $10,000 to build her first well in Ghana. She created her own non-profit, Josie’s Well, in partnership with the local non-profit Water Access Now, and now at age eleven, Josie have realized her vision threefold. I recently shared both stories with a Burner friend of mine and Music Guide supporter. And on the spot he proposed a challenge: If I rally the Burner community to raise $11,000 to build a well in Ghana, he’d fund the entire 2018 RSL Music Guide. Watch this video of me explaining how this all came to be. If eleven year old Josie can do it, WE can...

First, I want to thank you. For loving the Rock Star Librarian Music Guide and supporting it. For those of you who donated to my Kickstarters and fundraisers before that and who have made insane amounts of copies of the guide for your camp or repurposed it into a new format you then gifted out. But now I’ll share something a bit more personal. It doesn’t involve money; it just requires a few moments of your time and a willingness to share an opportunity with anyone for whom you feel it may benefit. I dubbed 2018 the Year of Love! I had a fairly public playa wedding in 2013. I thought I had found my fantastic partner in crime and someone who would embrace all of me and help me raise my two boys. But that was not to be the case. At the beginning of 2016 that relationship ended. My second marriage. Heartbroken, I took up daily yoga and hoped to tame my monkey mind and restless spirit. I delved deeply into my own personal growth work. I had never shied away from shadow work, but this time it was different. I tapped into the science and psychology of love, worked to heal my inner child wounds through yoga, body movement and breathe work. I reconnected my soul’s essence to a greater self-love. I made commitments to myself and kept them, realizing if I couldn’t be consistent and committed to me, why would someone else? After two years of learning and growing, I just knew that I couldn’t be the only woman who struggled with their relationship with love. And I am a real librarian after all, so I did the only thing I knew to do: gather the information and resources in one place and share it! I created and am host of a free video series online during the month of February where I interview over 25 internationally renowned love and relationship experts, bestselling authors, and doctors including Gay Hendricks, Arielle Ford and Alison Armstrong to share their wisdom and knowledge about love and connection. Every one of them offers viewers a free gift, from eBooks to meditation downloads. That’s free expert resources to help women shift back into love alignment and...
