How To Breathe Like a STAR ...
Tragedy strikes in the world of MJ Masters. She starts college, at 17, and in less than a week, she makes an enemy. A MAGA guy who's too much like her father not to notice. And she does try not to notice. After she calls him out in class for being a jerk, he pretty much makes it his mission to destroy her.
She has one real friend, one Wild and Witchy Aunt, and a wealth of resources supporting her that she doesn't know about yet. But will that be enough to keep her safe from Hunter's wrath, and help her find her way to some sense of peace again? Or is that too much to ask in a world that's fallen into complete insanity?
Project Hope
I know something about insanity. I was hospitalized twice for psychosis. And, I was actually experiencing very altered states. I spent a lot of time in the hospital as a kid too, with stress-induced illness. And, I've had a lifetime of learning to recover my wellbeing.
I realize now that I was "crazy" only for as long as I was trying to fit into an insane world. I want to share that with anyone caught in judging themselves by the metrics of patriarchy, and feeling lost and hopeless.

Real-world Notes of Hope // Folded paper notes shared around the city. The first one opens up into a little craft. It's a DIY Zine. You can download it below. The flyer turns into a little booklet, and you can flip through the first chapter of this story project.
Printable DIY Zines đź–¤
Download a printable file of the first chapter of BLAST.
Follow the included instructions and turn the printable flyer into a 16 page zine you flip through. Or, fold the flyer into a tight square note that can be handed out and shared with people in your life, or left around town for someone to find.
HOW TO: Fold A Square Note
This is the basic note fold for passing out the flyer. You can return the flyer to this fold even after cutting and making it into zine so it makes a tight pocket and is easier to share.
HOW TO: Fold the DIY Zine
The zine for this project will have SQAURE pages, but it works the same as the one shown above. There's an extra step at the end to make a spine for the zine by folding the cover sheet around to the back. This helps the booklet stay together.

HOPE fuels resilience.
Resilience fuels HOPE.
There are many ways to develop the skill of resilience, and to help others do the same. That is what it means to be a Ripple Rebel––to train in the Way of the Sacred Warrior.
​
I like to follow a Daily Flow of practices that includes some or all of the following:
​
-
Meditation
-
Movement
-
Music
-
Making
-
Metta
Daily Flows are Flexible.
​
I adjust everyday based on what I can do that day. Appointments, illness, grief, or stress of some kind, they come up differently everyday, and I adjust.
​
​
Here are some helpful
resources on practices, flexible flows, and other Tools for Training.
Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to ask for help. Here are some resources on that, too.
