You never know when wet cement will find you. My You never know when wet cement will find you.

My life philosophy — in sidewalk form:
💛 Feel Good To Do Good.

Because joy is contagious. Creativity is activism. And sometimes the best canvas is the one you weren’t expecting.

🎨 Guerrilla art, but make it meaningful.

Tag a friend who lives by a motto. Or maybe one who needs a new one. 🛝

Comment below with a radio emoji 📻 and I’ll send you a link to explore 111 FM — the place where “Feel Good To Do Good” comes to life.

🎧 You don’t have to wait for the perfect time 🎧 You don’t have to wait for the perfect time to feel better.

Joy works best in the in-between moments. Like…

🚗 When you’re stuck in traffic
🛒 Wandering the grocery aisles
📓 Journaling what you really feel
🌈 Lying on the floor overwhelmed
🌙 Falling asleep and needing comfort
🎨 Starting something new (but scared)

111 FM was designed for those moments.

Not when you’re perfect. When you’re real.
💗 What will you use it for this week?

Operation Merriment: Happy Signs Edition 💖🪧 Operation Merriment: Happy Signs Edition 💖🪧

On a hot summer day in Baltimore, we took over a corner with neon signs, sharpies, and unfiltered joy. Honks, hugs, high-fives, and handwritten weirdness — all in the name of public positivity.

From penguin puns to glittery encouragement, we made our mark one smile at a time. Want to join us in August for our next mission?

This is my favorite photo frame in the whole house This is my favorite photo frame in the whole house.

I spray painted it yellow and glued on everything from googly eyes to neon dolphins, tiny top hats, and glitter pom poms. There’s even a miniature can of soup.

It’s holding a black and white photo of me at 19 — right before I left my mom’s house. Playing dress up with friends. A rare grayscale moment in my rainbow timeline.

My life goal is for *everything I own* to look this campy and kooky.

Chintzy forever. 🧸🍭🪅

They’re the real gifts. 🎁

I was expecting April to just pull up so we could hang out, and instead she texted me, “Come outside with your phone.”

She had a whole rap prepared. In a decorated truck bed.

Dressed for the stage.

All for me.

This is top-tier love language energy — surprise joy, creativity, thoughtfulness, and a dash of chaos. 💛

PS: The truck was also a present… more on that soon.

This is for the ones chasing joy, not productivity This is for the ones chasing joy, not productivity.

For the ones who’ve outgrown self-help but still want to grow.

For the ones who miss who they used to be — and are ready to remember.

111 FM isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about coming back home to yourself.

With weirdness, whimsy, and wonder.

You belong here. 📻💛

Fairy houses, art displays, craft rooms, please-touch exhibits, yarnbombs, paint playgrounds, treasure hunts in the woods…

Nature and creativity out the wazoo!
