You know I’m in, Dre!

(Though, I may be light on secret confessions since I put all my dirty secrets into my newsletter!)

I may need to get up to more mischief. Shouldn’t be a problem. 🤣🤣

Oh, gurl, please... I know you've got some secrets, stories, and shenanigans hidden in some old purse in the back of your closet. You mighta thought you left them back in the early 2000's, but it's time to bust the vintage stuff out! 🤣

Oops, I thought you meant me. Honest mistake. You have to be more specific when you call out crazy broads in this digital playground - there are a LOT of us.

Reminds me of the “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” —always wanted to do something like that! I’m more curious what your use for this experiment will create for us, though. I’d just love to peek into that genius mind of yours!

And please stop saying your ideas are anything but fun, creative and deeply connective as building relationships in more personal ways is NEVER crazy! You’re NOT f’ing crazy okay!! You’re brilliant and funny and witty and ALL heart! And I love you and your ideas as everyone in this HDC does so drop the crazy label those bastards have subconsciously programmed into you and just BE your brilliant self without doubt!!!

And for future reference— just say what you’re doing and know I’m already in 😉

Right??! ME TOO, and I've always wanted to recreate that movie in some ME-shaped way. I have NO IDEA what would come out of something like this for us, but I can't deny the urge to see for ourselves. Fear has stopped me from doing this kind of off-the-wall shit, and I'm tired of that shit. I'm willing to be "crazy" and see what happens.

I mean connective. 🤣 NOT crazy. What was I thinking! 🤣🤣 The self deprecation is so deep that I can't help but say that shit about myself, it keeps the trolls at bay and puts the power in MY hands. But I hear you. It's something I've learned to do to protect myself - if I say first, "you" would look idiotic for saying it again. Good ol' coping mechanisms.

P.S. I'm officially considering you IN on all my CONNECTIVE ideas. 😆🫶

Dre, this is exactly why I adore you—you’re willing to call out the fear, face it, and do the thing anyway. That’s what makes you unstoppable.

I get what you’re saying about self-deprecation. It’s a clever defense mechanism, —it’s what I refer to as “The Eminem” because in his biopic, his last major rap battle was won by calling out all the weaknesses in himself that his opponent could use against him so when it came time for his opponent to freestyle his rebuttal, he had nothing and choked.

The BEST rap moment in any movie ever!

With that said, I hope you know you don’t need it here. This space isn’t just safe—it’s yours and it’s the perfect playground for all your brilliance. So, yes, let’s lean into this unorthodox magic and see where it takes us. I’m officially here for all your wild, connective ideas—consider me your co-pilot for the ride!

P.S. The trolls don’t even deserve your defensive efforts, they don’t exist, as a click of a button is made and they vanish. Done. No influence here. 😉🫶

That's SUCH a great name (and movie moment) to describe it!!! I love you something fierce for always reminding me that I'm enough just AS IS!! 🫶

Well, color me intrigued . . . This feels like one of those "We ride at midnight" type situations. Name the time and the place, and I'M THERE.

YESSSSS!!! I'll text you the secret word + place to pick up directions next week. Just like the ol' underground rave days.🤣
