An altar for my momma, inspired by my bestie Maya.

Dear Friends,

Over the past four months, life has taken me to various cities, stages, screens and platforms to talk up the book I edited, The Sentences That Create Us: Crafting A Writer’s Life in Prison, which has garnered a spread of impressive press that keeps rolling in. You can stay tuned to that journey here.

Behind the scenes, in the quiet moments between boarding flights and running my mouth, I found some time to create for myself in a new medium. The result is a sacred offering that comes straight from spirit:

FLOWERS FOR LINDA is a new audiozine (some call it “podcast”) named after my late gardener mom — about creative relationship, giving the living their flowers, and the surprising lessons of grief.

Listen here.

Read more about episode one below. It is a hot 30 minutes, and, if you ask me, worth a listen. But I’m biased. I like hearing myself talk!

As always, if you enjoy something here, why not share it with someone who needs it?

❤ x !

Flowers For Linda, Episode One:
I Am Enough with Maya Azucena

What kind of spiritual work does it take to sing on stadium stages?

In this first episode, I mine wisdom and gems from a conversation with my larger-than-life 4-octave-range, Grammy-awarded singer, songwriter, humanitarian and best friend Maya Azucena, through the lens of her new music project, I AM ENOUGH.

More than an album, I AM ENOUGH is, in Maya’s words, “an experience, a movement, and a belief.”

Come, visit with us, and if you find yourself as moved as I imagine you will be, consider making your own coffee tomorrow morning and put a few dollars towards her kickstarter campaign.

Why not listen now?
