here we go 2023 (Patreon)

Hola my dear patron loves. I just posted this to socials as well - but I’m reading and responding to all comments here.

Okay, let’s get this fucking year started.

Bye 2022. Didn’t love you, but you did your best.

First polar swim of the year belongs to you, California.

FIRST OFF Thank you to everyone who came to the dolls show last night … so much rain, so much confetti … photos coming but oh my god, what a truly epic homecoming for our little band.

Happy 2023, truly.

This past year was a difficult one for pretty much everyone I know. May this coming one bring ease, togetherings, and whatever it is you need to feel like you’re back on the ground.

If you have goals and wanna hold yourself accountable, put ‘em here and encourage each other.

We aren’t alone and saying our stuff out loud is nice.

I personally plan to swim every day possible (yes, even in the ice back home), drink less, get outside more, nourish the new friendships I’ve found at home, and let go of situations that keep harming my heart and just aren’t fixable. I want to organize my kitchen.

I want to pay more attention to my patreon, teach the world more about how wonderful it is, and get more clear-eyed about social media and where and how to deploy my voice.

I want to work on a possible new book about the new tsunami of hatred, fear, unresolved trauma, and the disintegration of community and family.

I want to write more advice columns, finish up all the lost projects I dropped in 2019, and get a great team working around my writing work and band.

Way More piano playing. I want to work on my songwriting space.

I plan to write the best damn record of my career and record it.

I also want to figure out more about how my car works, cook more meals at home and waste less food.

I plan, above all, to go easy on myself and know that I am doing just fucking great even if none of these things happen and another pandemic hits and I simply survive the year without dying or having a mental breakdown. 😃

Ok you.

Let’s hear it. Just say it out loud.
