Do you enjoy podcasts? can you direct us to some you like?

I love listening to podcasts while I stitch or make other art.  I like listening to ones that are Youtube so that I can listen to them at 1.25 or 1.5 speed.  Does that make me impatient?  

I like Mel Robbins and Jay Shetty lately.  They both have interesting guests, mostly doctors or scientists who have tips for better living/thinking.  

I like my family.  That sounds a bit silly but not everyone is so blessed to be able to say that.  My oldest son gave me a family photo shoot for Mother's Day.  We were only just able to do the shoot a couple of weeks ago.  Just look at those gorgeous people!  I love them!

I like artist dates.  Last weekend I went out with my oldest granddaughter.  We enjoyed making art together at the local gallery.  It is such a special time for us.

    That is a lovely family picture, Angela! Are you putting it up on the wall in your house somewhere? Looks like fall was the perfect time for getting together and taking it!

    I can only listen to music, audiobooks and podcasts if I'm doing repetitive work like quilting or unpicking endless stitching in the waistband of a pair of store-bought slacks. For more creative work, I find such listening to be distracting.
    What a wonderful Mother's Day gift! You live in a beautiful area.

    Angela - what a gorgeous photo, and an unique gift idea! I am always looking for some fresh gift ideas, so thank you! My daughter and I love artist dates - we often go to ceramic painting stores!

LeeAnna  has asked Did you get a new notebook and paper to use that year?  Do you still like having notebooks and calling them journals? I did not get new school supplies each year.  There were always some left from the previous year.  Being raised by parents who lived through the depression meant you made do with what you had.  Not a bad thing to learn!  I still do the same.  Mostly. I do love keeping journals!  I have never counted but I have a LOT.  I also have a LOT waiting to be used.  They are such a safe and wonderful place to make art, dream, record or whatever.  And don't get me started on pens! I have managed to go on three lovely walks with three lovely friends in the last week.  What a treat!  The leaves are gorgeous shades of red and orange right now.  Such a colourful time of year.

  LeeAnna  has asked Did you take your lunch and did you use a little brown bag or have a lunch box?  From kindergarten to grade six, I went home every day for lunch.  My school was about a block away and Mom was a stay-at-home mom.  Most kids went home for lunch back then.  I am grateful for that privilege.  In grades 7 and ,8 I had to take the school bus and bring my lunch.  The school closest to home was too full.  When I went to high school, I walked but it was too far away to go home at lunch.  I brought my lunch.  I don't remember what I used but it certainly wasn't a lunch box.  I was way too cool for that by age! It feels good to be getting into the swing of the fall season.  Life was busy over the summer with watching my two granddaughters.  I am finding the time to get some projects finished up.  That feels good.  I am also back to yoga classes more often.  I love that my body is getting stron...

LeeAnna  has asked Did you do the pledge of allegiance every morning and then sing a patriotic song?  what is your learning style, then and now? The main styles are auditory (hearing) rote or memorization, visual (maybe reading or seeing charts)  kinesthetic (that's me, learn by doing something like writing or making or touching) Are there other ways to learn I've forgotten? Is it still your style today? Since I am Canadian, we did not do the Pledge of Allegiance.  We sang O'Canada.  My granddaughter still does that but thinks the song is annoying.  She is so funny. I am a hands-on learner with auditory a close second. If I combine the two by doing something while listening, it sticks in my memory the best.  Having homeschooled my three sons, I am well-versed in learning styles.  All three of them learned differently!  They kept me on my toes! I like learning in general.  I like listening to podcasts while I make art.  Or Youtube, t...
