Hiiiiiiiiii How much you guys wanna bet @Johnny Gallo is gonna play me happy birthday on the piano tonight

I got into a nostalgic rabbit hole… that started when I was a little girl and this guy has inspired me and influenced me to become everything that I am today. @Kevin Love shared this in a comment and that triggered quite a few emotions and contemplations, meaning of life and your life and my life and the impact we have on this world by our sincere contribution!! Sound is sooooo powerful!!! Music is indeed a secret not so secret weapon (tool in a more mild way of putting it 😂) This one video Kevin shared, and the other one that @VALA aka Valgerður Eva Þorvaldsdóttir shared… both leading me to not wait until my studio is perfectly arranged in the new place but just to bust out my instruments out of their cases and boxes and play!!!!!!! No LEDs and stands and pretty nick naks needed!!!!! Thank you for the gentle nudge and inspiration! As soon as I am done w my crying party, I will take a shower, do a meditation and play music!!!! Notifications can wait! Everything can wait!!!! Joy Zone state flow state comes first!! Do you have a song that makes you nostalgic deep thinking to the point of deep heartfelt tears or am I more weird than you thought??

Just wanted to see if any of you are watching the Olympics open today. I managed to catch some of it from my hotel room and I’m really enjoying the dances / musical performances

🚨How to Grow a Community (Without Losing Your Mind) If you want more members, here’s the trick: Don’t shout “Join me!” just light the wick. Post what you love, post what is true, Let curiosity do the recruiting for you. Show up with rhythm, show up with heart, Not salesy noise, just honest art. People don’t join for rules or fame, They join because your space feels safe. Now keeping them? Ah, that’s the game. Don’t build a crowd, learn their names. Ask real questions, spark small play, Give them a reason to show up today. Celebrate effort, not just the best, Invite the quiet, hype the rest. Create small wins, low-pressure fun, That’s how communities become one. Consistency beats viral flair, A little daily says “I care.” Do that long enough, here’s the twist, You won’t chase members… they’ll insist.

Hi Tribers, help me come up w a better name for our “challenges” category. Please! The word “challenge” triggers me and I don’t like it. 😂 Just like “that black dog” - when naming him I didn’t like how Blessing sounds in English (so we called him Makarios - blessing in Greek). But it’s worse cuz “challenge” is not just I don’t like it but it actually triggers me for some unexplained reason 🤷‍♀️ I know that in the online world a “challenge” is something that is supposed to drive you forward, achieving new highs. But, maybe because English is not my first language, I don’t like that word as it reminds me of something challenging (not in a good way), struggle-like…. 🤔 Maybe it’s just me??? Is it?? Let me know!! Please… pretties 🥰 I have a few alternatives for this category and do want to brainstorm it with YOU!!! Some of you are brilliant masters with words - like @Nadzee A, @VALA aka Valgerður Eva Þorvaldsdóttir, @Katrina Wright, @Nicole Jordan, @Lisa Black & @Nathaniel Parant for example… Let’s all rename and crown w a new cool feeling this category!!! Together!!!!
