Interview with Jared Falk of Drumeo

Last month I launched a new web series on YouTube. I am yet to give it an official name, because I am not completely sure what to call it. It is already looking like it will have several themes and feature a variety of people who I will interview and have candid discussions with during a live broadcast.

I was pleased to have Jared Falk of Drumeo as my first guest.

Welcome to the New MichelleSandlin.com

Welcome to my new website! It has been a full year in the making, so I am very proud and excited to finally be launching it! Of course, this will be a work in progress and I will continue to add to my portfolio of articles and other written work in the coming weeks, so please look for lots of new content soon.

Sorry, But I’ve Been Busy

My new DW Performance Series and cool new drum head!

I realize that I haven’t posted in several weeks, and I am really sorry about that.  It doesn’t mean that I have not been really busy though, or writing other stuff, as I have been doing just that.  This should give you an idea of what I have been up to.

Inspire and be Inspired

Inspiration is a two-way street. In order to inspire others, you have to be inspired yourself.

I was recently catching up with a good friend of mine, Vicki Jackson, who I had not seen in several months. We have known each other for about 5 years and have shared some unexpected parallel life experiences. There is a definite chemistry that is underlined by the simple fact that we just get each other. No pretense, no bull shit (pardon the French), just mutual respect and support.. Randomly, she also shares the same birthday as my BFF Cheryl Howe.
