New Anthology Alert!!


Rock & Roll Saved My Soul would like to proudly announce it's newest anthology, entitled "Notes of Dreams: How Music Inspires the World."

 What is this anthology about? 
It will be a collection of stories and poetry inspired by music. Pick a band, song, or album, and write something inspired by it. It can just be whatever comes to mind while listening, or you can write what you think the message of the song or album is. That is what I (Kate Marie) am doing. I will be using an excerpt from a book I am writing, called For A Lifetime, which is based off the song "Give Me Something" by Scars on 45.

 Submissions are due no later than August 31st and must be no longer than 15,000 words. Proceeds are being donated to Bro-Am, a charity that was created by the band Switchfoot.

 What is Bro-Am about?
Switchfoot Bro-Am Foundation: A thriving future for every kid. Bro-Am focuses on initiatives in three areas that create a thriving future:
Physical wellbeing – food, shelter, health
Community wellbeing – belonging, connecting
Opportunity through music, art, surfing and education – the outlets that help us thrive

 Any questions, please contact RRSMS via message or e-mail (which can be found below in the photo)

Drug Use in High School and College

Image
Drug use and experimentation tend to proliferate on college campuses. For those who can afford this experience, campuses are often a sanctuary for drug use. In high school, drinking alcohol was my only experience with substance use. Right before college, I was required to partake in an online program about alcohol – one that demonstrated how to minimize harms associated with drinking, such as not drinking if you are planning on driving, staying well hydrated, eating before you drink, knowing how many alcoholic beverages you’ve had, or spacing out the drinks you are already consuming. These strategies help to keep people safe and prevent deaths, and are referred to as harm reduction. In my freshman year, I found myself in a position where drugs of all kinds were almost literally falling into my lap. How did this happen? I was encountering drugs I had never even heard of left and right, and with the emergence of online drug markets, it could be as easy as shopping on Amazon. I ...

National Aunt and Uncle Day

Image
National Aunt and Uncle’s Day on July 26th honors a special set of relatives we look up to throughout our lives. During holidays, family events and sometimes sleepovers, aunts and uncles often hold an extraordinary place in our hearts. They fill our lives with fun, laughter, love and incredible memories.   This holiday provides an opportunity to spend time with our parents’ siblings we trusted and leaned on growing up.  It would be an excellent time to get out the old photo albums. Look through the pictures, and relive the memories of earlier days around the Christmas tree or at the 4th of July picnic or maybe at the beach vacation that included those special aunts and uncles in your life. Get together with your relatives and create new memories. Remind them of all the reasons you enjoy having them in your life. Celebrate the lessons they’ve taught you and share them with the next generation.  Another way to celebrate the day is by documenting family me...
