My favorite and best (imo) song is here!
So far the response has been amazing and heartwarming so thank you!
If you want to help support me, there are a few easy things you can do!
Save the song on Spotify
Add the song to a playlist (or ten)
Press share (even if you just send it to yourself)
Put it on repeat and vibe!
Spotify can see all of these actions and will recommend it to other users and promote it further if it get’s enough positive engagement!
Either way though, enjoy!

I also made a track breakdown if you want to see behind the song and how I made it!

This Week
I’ve been working my way through Jordan Peterson’s Exodus seminar on The Daily Wire + and after about 7 episodes (15hrs) we’ve finally arrived at the Ten Commandments and specifically the one about the sabbath (keep it holy).
It’s come to my attention, among other things.. the point of the sabbath is to NOT CREATE ANYTHING. The sabbath is and was literally meant to be a rest from creating.. Oops.
Dennis Prager comically says “the only thing you can create on the sabbath is a baby” and unfortunately or fortunately there is none of THAT going on out here.
Anyways, it turns out my music sabbath idea, as much as I’ve enjoyed it, is sinful and disobedient. (depending on who you ask)
I think I might just have to bite the bullet and reorient my Mondays and try something else. If you tune into this weeks video I’ll be watching a clip of the Exodus series where the panel discusses this and it’s (to me) SUUUUPER interesting.. so if you want to piggy back off my $15/month Daily Wire subscription check it out haha!
On another note.. I still haven’t really left the house besides the occasional walk up the hill.. which I’ve been doing less due to the dogs that bark and bark and disturb everyone when I come around. Eye-roll.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking in terms of this blog, my business, and brand etc.. The solitude really does allow some serious room for contemplation and ideation and I’m curious to see what happens when I eventually re-enter society at some point. Either way.. I’m pretty excited for the things I’m working towards.
Anyways more on that in this week’s video along with some other interesting religious ideas/thoughts and hopefully some hanging out with some of you! If you subscribe to my channel and hit the bell you will get a notification when I go live!
Tomorrow.. I swim with the dolphins AND get a visit from Mangku and his family! (he was our housekeeper last time I was in Bali)
Have a good week!
