Meet Michaelle Madrid, Event Planner


Tell our readers a little bit about yourself. We want to get to know you better!
I am a wife, mother, friend, reader and writer. I live with my family in the dry heat of the Arizona desert. I received a B.A. in Communication with a minor in English from The University of New Mexico and spent ten years working in corporate America. I currently have a few works in progress and am co-writing with a self published author. 

What’s it been like volunteering for Rock & Roll Saved My Soul? What is your favorite thing about it?
I love working with Rock & Roll Saved My Soul! Being admin for our Facebook page is an awesome way to connect with others.

Writing for our blog's advice column keeps me writing about current, everyday issues. I am grateful to share helpful and uplifting information. I also share about our charity publishing at author takeovers on Facebook. My favorite part of working with RRSMS is sharing how we are changing the world one story at a time by producing positive anthologies where all proceeds are donated to several charities.  


What made you want to join the Rock & Roll Saved My Soul team?
I wanted to join RRSMS after writing a few guest columns for our advice column, "The Sounds of Advice."

Who are some of your favorite bands?  Favorite album(s)/song(s)?
Some of my favorite bands are: Third Day, Lifehouse, Skillet, and Evanescence. 
One of my favorite albums is "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill." My favorite song from that album is "Zion." Another favorite song is "Thief," by Third Day.

If you’ve been to a concert, which was the most memorable? Feel free to share any stories with us!
One of the most memorable concerts I have been to was one by The Newsboys. Their drummer had a spinning, elevated drum set! It was so awesome to see him playing as he was being hoisted above and spinning! Wow!

If you could go on tour with one band for a month, which band would you choose and why?
If I could go on tour for one month with any band, I would choose Third Day. They are very interactive with their fans and make sure to get their audience involved in each show.

Are you a writer or musician? What genre? Where can we find out more about your writing or music?
I am a writer/author. I write both fiction and nonfiction. I write adult contemporary, fantasy, and Christian daily devotionals. You can follow all of my writing projects at:

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 memories and history.
