This photo isn’t the most clear but it’s Aaron pointing to his name on the scoreboard at The Moth Story Slam in Denver this past weekend.
The Moth is a storytelling podcast that’s been a family favorite for years.
We’ve always wanted to attend a live event. Denver and most large cities host them throughout the year and upwards of 150-200 people attend to listen to stories.
It goes like this:
1. You buy a ticket.
2. You show up to listen or prepared with a story that is tied to the theme of the night. The theme on the night we went was .
3. If you wanna- you throw your name in a hat for a random drawing to tell your story.
5. Name called- go on stage in front of a mass audience of strangers and tell a true story in 5 minutes with a tangible beginning-middle-end that connects it to the theme.
6. Judging panels give scores and the highest score of the night goes onto a Grand Slam Storytelling Event to be featured on the podcast.
Aaron, baller shot caller he is, put his name in the hat. His name was drawn and story ready, he rocked the mic. He told a fantastic story from his new book.
In the end he placed 4th- a mere 1.2 pts behind the winner.
NOTE: Many people do this regularly to get better each time. This was his first but will not be his last.
Lennon and I had the best time watching his Dad! We are endlessly proud of his courage. All of us were floored by the amazing stories.
People are wondrous, creative, delightful beings of perspective experiences and I love being alive.
Would YOU put your name in the hat? It’s not my thing…unless I can just dance the story but that’d be pointless in a podcast🤣 But I can’t wait to go back and listen to more!
This High-Calorie/Fat/Protein Smoothie is exactly the meal I want going into a 2 hour dance rehearsal today.
Calories are energy. Fat converts/burns quickest while the protein & fiber help stabilize my blood sugar so I feel FULL AND ENERGIZED.
Caffeine and/or difficult to digest meat or grains don’t work for me before I’m jumping up and down over and over again.
I do not want a BIG crash or uncomfortable bloating that takes my energy away. I want to feel light and happy!
As an aside, I would not drink this at the end of my day when my least amount of movement was happening.
If it were my last meal- I’d modify by taking out the banana and sunflower seeds and ADDING IN 1 full cup of greens, and/or 1/2 cup silken tofu for creaminess and texture.
I (personally) do not count calories. I’m highly active and see no need to do so.
I also, do not prescribe to any pure form diet (keto, paleo, veg) but I do eat primarily plant based (85-90%) meals that are designed to fuel specific parts of my daily activity & menstrual cycle.
It works for me! My periods and libido are bom-diggity, my metabolism is jumping for joy and I sleep great…why the heck would I give this up??🤣
Try it and then go dance! Or run! Or spin out on a bike! Or have a really long, sexy session with your mate!
