I'm sad Listeners. Today, Charlie Kirk was shot and killed. I recorded the majority of this podcast 2 days ago. I think it has merit but I'm not gonna shout this one too loud beyond how I feel for Charlie and his poor family. Of course, I'm grateful for all your listening time and honored.  What I want you all to know is that I'm going to keep speaking. Our Lord tells us to "fear not," and I will not be afraid. God bless you all.   

Thank you so much Kevin Kline, for this wonderful exploration of the 'sign's of the time' and craft of tattooing. I was a very fun conversation and I found it very cathartic. I hope our Listeners think so too. God bless you Kevin. You can find Kevin at Tattoo Icons in Perryville, MD. ****If you liked The Apprenticeship Diaries (T.A.D.), please follow us, rate, and review us!

Just a personal entry this week. I expand on how my physical life has been lately (as well as mental and spiritual, life.).

You are a blessing and I pray you continue to be blessed. May we all "hop" together, into bigger and better, futures.  ****If you liked The Apprenticeship Diaries (T.A.D.), please follow us, rate, and review us!

I love you and I'm so thrilled to finally have you on the show. We need to do more. God bless you all and have the best (rest) of this week...

If it's between listening to this podcast or taking a moment to reflect, collect and heal... Choose the latter. I've been forced to take a moment. Hopefully this will communicate gratitude, humility and merit, of the past few weeks. As always, praise God! Lot's of things... All good to some degree. Whether good or bad, it's all a gift.

This is a personal Entry. It's a bit of a ramble so be forewarned. I just wanted to share some updates and give glory to God. It's pretty positive, overall, so my hopes are that you will feel uplifted while listening. If not, just turn it off and listen to better people than me. :) Love you Listeners and super grateful for your time. God bless you! If you'd like to shop Black Dagger Books, click here.

It was a common theme, throughout this entire time between Swasthik Iyengar and me, that it's very hard to keep things simple. Simplicity often gets misappropriated with ease or easy, but this couldn't be further from the truth  Hat's off to Swazzy however, for she's managed the task of changing continents, within her journey, thus far. In many ways, life could have been simpler, but then agein, this wouldn't have yielded such a beautiful story and human.  Swazzy is a resident artist of Good Luck NYC. She likes to pull from her culture and faith in her artwork. Lately, she's been gearing up for her first gallery showing in LA at the Devout Gallery. It's June 21nd. Mark you calendar! Despite being in a major flow-state, painting, making, meditating... Swazzi gave quite a bit of time to this show. This is the conclusion of our 3 part Entry, with this beautiful talent. Thank you Swazzi and thank you Listeners. God bless you all! If you'd like to shop Black Dagger Books, click here.

Wow... What an amazing time meeting this awesome person, talent, and tattoo artist! This is the first part of our time with Swasthik Iyengar of Good Luck Tattoo in NYC. She's here, sharing her culture and at the same time, loving our culture here in the states. Our recording marked her 1st year anniversary. Welcome Swazzi! She's lived in multiple countries and really is a rich human in terms of experience (and all the other ways that really matter)... So much in so little time, it's really wonderful to witness.  God bless you Swazzi! This show is so grateful for so much of what you gave us. Moreover, the US is really lucky to have you here... makes perfect sense that your home studio right now is Good Luck Tattoo.  As always, thank you Listeners. Come back next week because there's definitely more with Swazzi!  If you are interested with working with Swazzi, click here to start the booking process.  To catch Swasthik's showcase in LA, block your calendar for June 21st at the Devout Gallery.  ****If you liked The Apprenticeship Diaries (T.A.D.), please follow us, rate, and review us!

I think my mic might be going... That's one more prayer I need answer to... Why my audio has this terrible sound in the background? Is it the mic or the cord? Guess I'll get a new cord and see... Please God... Let it be the cord!  This week is just a call for prayer. Your host is stressed and needing some spiritual cheerleading.  Thank you Listeners... God bless us all as we traverse this crazy, non-stop, existence. Let's keep our chins up. He is risen...He is risen indeed! ****If you liked The Apprenticeship Diaries (T.A.D.), please follow us, rate, and review us! Also, get our webpage to climb on the search engine by visiting it HERE.

We are back with the rest of the wonderful time, we spent with Erika Lalita of Sylph Art Studios. In this next half, we learn more about being a chalk artist; Except, now that the all the wonder of this job has been revealed, we must talk about the realities.   This next part is about self care, being realistic, and what sort of things Erika manages when she's not pursuing passion.  There's always a toll to pay on the road to one's dream. Some of us discover that it's just a dream and look into something else, while some of us make dreams into chalk art for all to see.  Thank you for sharing and giving so much time to this show Erika. Thank you for pursuing your passion and making the world a more beautiful, fun and joyous, place. As always, God bless everyone!
