HI DJ Nation.

Tomorrow marks the one year since Darin's passing. I know you all have thought about him this year. We think about him every day.

Life simply is not the same. Not as good, not as great. As Billy Bob Thorton said who lost his brother,,, On my best days, im only 50% happy and 50% sad. There is a void that simply cant be filled. He Magic made for a bigger hole.
What a legend of a man we were blessed to know and love. As his day comes upon us tomorrow, i ask you to do one thing . Remember him, remember how he made you feel, and how he impacted you. Force yourself to smile, laugh and remember him as much as you can as you go through the day. Let his memory help us be good to each other and make strangers smile. Remember what really matters, take time to tell folks how you feel about them.

Give hugs, listen, care for others as he did for us all. Lets send him our love tomorrow. The Power of positive and thanks up to the heavens, all of us like a choir, tomorrow. Look up. see if you can see him in the clouds. keep looking, he's in that cloud right over there!

Peace and love to DJ's Posse!

Hi DJ Family Tree.

Saturday was the 6 month mark since DJ so suddenly left us all hangin. Now, he left us all a gift. Sure, we wanted more gifts, thats normal.

I want to thank those that reached out and remembered him and reached out to share how he has made them Wake Up, and Keep those in the outer circles, Inside the circle. He was about touch , awareness, and consistent connection with you. He lived for you.

Remember the special feeling he gave you and give that hug to someone else tomorrow.

Cheers to the Magic Man. Miss him so much, but we all get to see him soon.

LOVE LOVE

We honestly cant find words to properly express our gratitude for your love, support and attendance to DJ's celebration. We want to also thank those that donated in his name. We validated our own feelings by being together and sharing the extraordinary impact he made on us all. We all learned how much we rely on and care for each other and the power of the potential to be there for each other going forward. "i got you, you got me, we got us". I.N.I (we) Vibrataion. Positive. Every little thing, its gonna be All Right.

We wanted to ensure that each of you has his digital memories in case you want to remember DJ again one day. Mark your calendar as his birthday is June 11th. Give the legend a nod.

Here are digital assets we want to ensure you all have:

1. Pictures posted by you all can be downloaded from this site (all of them) to your PC. There is a button at the bottom of Memmories (pictures) you can download to get all pics.
2. I am going to try and post the Video here, lets see if that works, so you have the video we showed at the event.
3. Tien has compiled a great coffee table picture book with his art. that will come shortly, where you can choose to, buy a small, medium or large copy of that. or not. He was a great amazing artist and his art makes you smile and wonder, how did he do that.

We are all so blessed to know DJ. We have come to accept and learn the full impact he has had on us. We all can learn from him and be more for each other. Connection happened in San Diego, those hugs said more than words and i know we all think about our own selves and our own opportunities to be a bit more like that Magic Man. The world, and us all, would be better if we did. :).

We are looking forward to a lifetime together, in his name and spirit.

Love, Gratitude and respect to you all, the DJ A Team.
