Happy Birthday Artist Morning!!!

Remember when I had a crazy idea and decided to jump in headfirst without looking back? Well... this crazy idea became one of the best things I have ever said yes to. EVER EVER EVER. 

If you want to join me live we meet every week on zoom for FREE. www.ArtistMorning.com. 

Big love, 

D

PS: HUGE thank you to the Artist Morning global community. Without you there would be NO Artist Morning. You bring so much joy, kindness and inspiration to my life every single day. Thank you for saying yes to this crazy idea of mine before it made any sense at all. I love you… even if I’ve never met you before.

How Far You’ve Come

When was the last time you celebrated how far you've come?⁠

I get it. You’re ambitious. You are laser focused on growth, expansion and what’s next. That part of you is awesome.

On the other hand, when was the last time you slowed down just enough to recognize that what was once only a dream is now a reality?⁠

Just for a moment, if you are open to it, let’s express a little bit of gratitude for how far you’ve come.

Slow down with me for 1 minute and let's take three deep breaths together. 

Close your eyes and send a “thank you” to the previous versions of you who did the best they could, made many sacrifices and got you to this very moment. 

What would happen if you gave yourself a chance to celebrate—and maybe even revel in—how far you've come?

Big love,

D

He Made A Freaking Film

So proud of my brother from another mother, Jon Carlo. Since we were kids, Jon has dreamed of being a filmmaker. After high school, Jon left Toronto and moved to California to pursue his dream. He’s worked his ass off since then to bring that dream to life.

He’s worked as an actor and also as an amazing screenplay writer. Two of his scripts were bought and developed into feature-length films, starring Harvey Keitel and David Arquette. How cool is that?!

This Friday, Jon’s newest film Feral State debuts. This is the first time Jon both wrote and fully directed a film.

The trailer looks badass and I personally can’t wait to watch it.

Check out Jon’s IG for more details on his newest film.

Jon, you freaking did it brother. Celebrating you so hard right now.

Love always,

D
