It’s been awhile since my last official pimping session. There’s a maelstrom of magnificence going on this week. Time for some piercing promotion.
♥ The Declaration of You
Michelle Ward — my career coach-est with the mostest — has teamed up with illustrator + pattern designer Jessica Swift to create a virtual workshop. It’s called THE DECLARATION OF YOU: how to find it, own it, and shout it from the rootops. I took a sneak peek the other night, and the aesthetic alone is worth the five minutes it’ll take you to register. If you’re searching for your passion, your voice, or your magical elevator pitch, this program might be a glittery lifejacket in a turbulent sea.
♥ Music Lessons In Park Slope
Nepotism alert! My revoltingly talented brother Ben + his wife Marisa are musicians. They live in Park Slope, Brooklyn. They (and let me underscore this fact) are BAD. EFFING. ASS. We’re talking world tour (Kanye West!) + live TV (Christina Aguilera!) + Grammy-nominated (yes, really!). And they’re offering music lessons. All ages. All levels. Reasonably priced. And seriously worth it.
♥ Diane Shipley
This lady is a Writer with a capital W. Her publication history? The Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, The London Times — among others. Her topic of choice? Mental health + disability issues, combined with feminism. She’s actively seeking freelance writing assignments, especially personal essays and pop culture analysis. Know a magazine? Or an editor? Hit Diane on Twitter at @dianeshipley.
♥ The LOVE MATCH event :: WhiteHotTruth.com
Danielle LaPorte (the Internet’s reigning high priestess of spirituality + entrepreneurship) is up to her generous tricks again: this week, for every purchased copy of THE FIRE STARTER SESSIONS program, she’s giving one copy away: either to a friend of yours (lucky friend!), or to a happy stranger (lucky them!).
