CHALLENGING DAYS  Today (June 1st) kicks off a new journalistic experimental series called "Challenging Days" !  My friend and creative brother-in-arts Phil Corso (Drummer of The Vigilance Committee and More Than Skies ) and I conceived this fun interactive month-long experiment  called "Challenging Days".  Each day throughout June, we will roll the bones to randomly choose a prompt, task or challenge from a predetermined list meant to shake our routines and perspectives and then reflectively report on the site how it went and what we experienced each day, hopefully feeling a little more informed or enlightened by the events or interactions we may not have otherwise engaged in! My favorite part? We set it up on our website so that you all can be privy to the prompts of each day, participate and then submit your thoughts on the page in real time!   Visit  https://alloneandphil. wixsite.com/challengingdays  ...
