This is Dopeeeeee 😝 Thanks @washingtonpost for including @girlsgutsglory in the new story about the #DND revival!!! I’m happy to play a small part in helping to grow this community. This game has given me and my gal pals a creative way to bond, exercise our imaginations, and express our dark sides. It’s inspired me to find the magic in everything, and honestly helped me redefine how I want to show up in the world. So glad @kimhidalgo brought us all together to play three years ago!

🎡 #Coachella highlights from this past weekend. TBH, the best moments I didn’t capture cause I was too busy enjoying the moment. Coachella may not be what it used to be, and it is an extremely well-oiled machine. But with better acoustics than other outdoor festivals I’ve experienced, impressive art installations, colorful lights that adapt to the music, and grass soft enough to walk and dance around barefoot, it’s not without its magic. I had the most fun dancing with @sofitukker!! ‘Til next time... 🎵: “Drinkee” by Sofi Tukker

At no other point in history have humans had the power that we have right now, both collectively and individually. If there’s a problem in the world, rather than complaining about it, do something about it. If you can conceive of a solution, you can bring it through to fruition. We ARE the media now. Use your platforms, don’t let them use you. If you’re stuck in a loop of judgment, it’s time to break out. How are you preventing yourself from being more creative, from making a bigger impact? Judgment is a low vibration; it stems from fear. Rather than allowing your attention to drift towards what others are doing “wrong”, focus your attention on what you’re doing to create the reality you desire. If you’re waiting for someone else to take action on something important, you’re giving away your power. You were born to learn and create. Creativity is a muscle. There is no “end game”. Life is a long game. As with anything we complete, we might discover new and better ways of achieving our desired outcome. We have the freedom to change, adjust, and recreate at any point. When we’re met with resistance from the mind, we can either choose to struggle, get mad, and complain; or we can choose to soften, ask our guides, or friends to help us with a solution, tune into our intuition, and move forward with awareness. You are the oracle, my dear ✨

#WCW this week is the inimitable @donnamissal. @charcharcasey and I ushered in my twenty-ninth dance around the sun with this powerhouse of a woman and a packed house at The El Rey. I remember seeing Lady Gaga perform just before she blew up, and I had the same feeling watching Donna perform. She is a fucking superstar, and those that know me know I don’t toss that word around frivolously. I got especially teary-eyed when she took a moment between songs to address the crowd, saying, “If it’s taking longer than you expected to realize your dream, know that the best things take time... I felt this dream of making pop music wasn’t possible for me because I was ‘past my prime’.” She spoke of the importance of representation, saying we need more examples of authentic women in leadership roles, and that most of what society tells us about ourselves and what we need to do in order to be valued and validated is bullshit. SAY IT, sister 🙌Thank you for inspiring us all to trust ourselves and keep going.

Dear @Spotify, you’d have no business without songwriters. Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Thanks in advance. #Songwriters, check the last post in my story to sign the petition, and #Spotify to drop their appeal of the CRP rate determination, and follow @wearesonala to stay informed.

Happy birthday to the one and only @patriciaarquette. You consistently bring an authenticity to your work both onscreen and off, that the film industry, and the world desperately needs. Thank you for taking a stand for #equalrights, fighting for all American women via your work with the @eracoalition, and for facilitating clean sanitation efforts for so many people in need through @givelove_org. You are one of my biggest role models, and I hope you feel so loved and appreciated today, and every day 🖤

$#Deserted is now live on #iTunes & #Tidal! The song represents so much for me, but I hope it inspires you to look deeper, to question, to think and feel with your heart. Are you limiting yourself to a situation because it’s familiar and comfortable? Or maybe not even comfortable, but maybe you’re too afraid to take a risk? Are you allowing yourself to only experience a fraction of the beauty, excitement, wonder, and adventure life has to offer? Are you asking for what you truly want? Do you believe in yourself? Don’t keep yourself stuck just because it’s what you’re used to. You are the creator of your reality. Don’t confuse comfort with peace. Don’t confuse co-dependency with love. Don’t confuse fame with importance. Don’t be afraid to evaluate and reevaluate your relationships and environment. We are meant to thrive, not merely survive. Get creative. Break free 🤘$
