Jamie, it's truly wonderful to have you back!

Your absence was felt, and I really appreciate your candidness about needing that break and headspace. It takes a certain kind of courage to step away when you need to, and then to openly share that experience with your readers.

Your "Monday Moxie" always brings a much-needed jolt of inspiration, and knowing that you're pouring yourself back into these posts with renewed energy makes them even more impactful. I'm excited to hear about the "subtle-but-meaningful change" on Thursday! It sounds exciting, and I'm sure whatever it is, it will be another thoughtful evolution of your already fantastic work.

Jamie, I love Moxie Mondays.

Thanks for the tag, I listened a few times over the weekend. So good. Damn. I didn’t expect to be cracked open by this—Dom’s howl cuts through the polite noise like a flare in fog. That line “I don’t know what’s in my head, but I know what’s in my chest”—yes. That’s the soul slamming the table, saying I’m still here, don’t bury me yet. Not dead until I'm dead.

And “I wanna feel alive”—fuck yes. So alive that the fear of death isn’t even a thought. Just breath and blood and art and truth. Just fire and great dance moves.

I feel him. I feel you — bringing him to my door like a holy telegram. And I hear the Bowie, the Sabbath, the ache of The Cure—but he’s not echoing, he’s conjuring. It’s invocation, not imitation.

Thank you for this gift. I’ll be looping the album, lights off, heart flayed, one step into heaven and hell—because this is what it means to feel something real. 🔥

Great dance party, sister!

What a gorgeous description of his art and what it makes me feel too. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me feel to know that I’m not alone and making this connection and feeling these feelings. I will admit it feels a little strange as a 50+ year-old woman to be brought to tears by the music of a 27-year-old rock ‘n’ roll star But goddamn if he isn’t speaking words of wisdom beyond his years. Thank you for joining in the dance. Rock on!

I'll explore the album throughout the week and am living this. The lyrics are incredible! xx

I feel that, Rhaine. The messages of this album seem so weirdly synchronous with my headspace right now. It hits hard in all the best ways. That alignment plus Dom’s energy and the music itself … it has cast a spell on me.
