This has been a strange month so far, but I have to say that it’s led us to a beautiful place.

Have you ever noticed that some of your darkest times lead you straight into the light?
Has it ever come to your attention that the more authentically you live, the more abundance flows naturally and you’re led to paths that align with your purpose?

Like I said, this has been a strange month. Aside from all of the “life” stuff, which is always a little bit wacky, I had a moment, about a month ago, where there was a miscommunication and a client refused to pay me after I had a done a huge amount of work. While I was in the midst of doing that work, I found myself thinking,

“Why can I do this level of planning and work for clients, but I can’t seem to do the same for my own business and personal brand. Just imagine how much further ahead that would put me…”

That moment spurred me into action and I started my Buy Me a Coffee page, along with a social experiment to see if, as a creator/freelancer/artist, can I actually live a fully transparent, authentic life while also supporting my family.

Not long after that, Facebook invited me to the bonus program for digital creators. If you aren’t up on all of the new Facebook lingo, that just means that Facebook offers selected creators the opportunity to earn cash bonuses – up to $30,000 – for continuing to post original and engaging content.



Of course, I got to work and started experimenting. Because I had some time on my hands, I was able to spend a LOT of time on Facebook. And guess what…EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED; no about of interaction for your average person with a moderate following is going to result in amounts that even compare to a parttime job. As of halfway through, I thing I’ve finally made it up to $125. And, Facebook wont even let me cash it out.

But something else also happened as a result of putting more effort into Facebook – people who don’t usually engage with me much started engaging; folks started reaching out to tell me that they appreciated the openness; people started giving me feedback on how I could make it easier for them to take part and show their support.

The big takeaway from all of that was what we already knew before hand – the solution is twofold. We need a defined purpose, and a central hub that consolidates all of the ways that people can contribute and support us. The purpose we definitely had – live in an open, authentic, and loving way that encourages love and kindness throughout the world, while also supporting our family. All that was left was the central place to point people to, and here we are.

May I simply say what a comfort to discover someone that really knows what they are talking about on the internet. You actually realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people must look at this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe you are not more popular since you surely have the gift.
