Stepping WAY Out of My Comfort Zone

It's been a couple of years since my last post. Mostly I have been busy with remodeling, sewing, and other projects. I've decided to take things in a completely different direction and just recently began a new channel that I'm calling Resonate 963. You can find my introductory video here!

As is everything in life, this is a work in progress. I have been ignoring the subtle nudges from the Universe for the last 6 months to start creating mediation videos. For someone like me who likes to work behind the scenes and even anonymously, stepping in front of the camera is both painful and exhilarating. I don't think I could have taken this leap without the meditation practice I have developed over the years, and have been diving deeper into over the last twelve months. I hope you will join me on this expansive journey, follow my new channel, and perhaps try something that helps you expand as well.

Intro to Carpentry, or Yes, I Went Back to Class...AGAIN

After creating the cabinet boxes for my kitchen last year, I was inspired to do more. I have worked with wood before, but for some reason this time, the whole process really resonated with me. The smell of the sawdust after making a fresh cut, the sound of the hand planer as it takes thin curls off of the surface, the feel of the wood once it's been sanded and finished...it just made me smile and gave me a deep sense of satisfaction. In addition, I found myself relaxing for the first time that I can remember in decades. My mind went quiet every time I started working, which was pretty amazing to me. I had been so stressed at my previous job for so long that my shoulders never relaxed and my mind was never truly quiet until I picked up my carpentry tools and started really working on my kitchen. After completing the two cabinet boxes, I wanted to do more which meant that I wanted to learn more. I looked around town at all of the options I could find and concluded that the most co...

New House Exterior

All of us here in the Midwest seem to have suddenly awoken on the wrong side of The Wall . Despite the extreme cold (and my irrational fear of White Walkers…I mean, they are about as real as Grumpkins and Snarks), I have managed to do a little work for the exterior of my house. Just before Christmas, I had the siding on my house replaced. I ended replacing the old aluminum siding with heavy-duty vinyl siding. I've noticed that vinyl siding seems to illicit some strong opinions on the interwebs ( here's one ). I have mixed feelings about it myself. My project manager and real estate agent both had positive things to say about it, but on the next house when I do the siding work myself, I will probably look more into wood siding and maybe even try to salvage original materials if possible. Construction is one of the biggest industries contributing to waste, and I love the ideas of keeping the carbon footprint low and saving the historical value of a structure. But I digress. H...
