Peeking in to share another piece hit outta the park by Kathryn Vercillo. She's speaking about writing but also what she calls the "cultural obsession" with "respectable suffering" of writing and other work. https://createmefree.substack.com/p/i-love-writing-i-do-but-is-loving

"Henggeler ended her statement with a series of questions, including, 'What if we have been handing our power away because we have been told that this is how it is done. We lose perspective on our own machine, because we are convinced we need another.'" The Cobra Kai series was a bit of fun nostalgia. I think there are some exellent quotes from the actress on why she's leaving acting that many creatives could relate to. https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/cobra-kai-actress-courtney-henggeler-quits-acting-after-two-decades-no-longer-wanted-to-be-a-cog-in-the-wheel-of-the-machine/ar-AA1CVl8u?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=ENTPSP&cvid=1ba9b42624b74ed7aee0a38e0d928dd9&ei=16

Are there any YouTube content creators here that use Krotos Studio or something similar to generate their own background sounds? I'm grateful for the audio library that YT offers, but I'm fascinated with the idea of creating my own meditation and background tracks. I'd love to know your thoughts on different tools.

Contrary to the title of the piece, this isn't a surprising effect at all. "'We find no evidence that people love doing nothing,' Susann Fiedler, a professor at the Vienna University of Economics and Business who was involved with the study, said on the study’s website." https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/personalfinance/a-german-experiment-gave-people-a-basic-monthly-income-the-effect-on-their-work-ethic-was-surprising/ar-AA1CKryd?ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=c5431a6538484e2a9bb0ec26a31ba805&ei=27

Waiting in the basement until the tornado warning time passes. It's just a light rain right now, thankfully.

Kathryn Vercillo is another writer I admire who decided she had to take a slowcore approach to her writing to regain her authenticity and her voice. It seems to be going around everywhere. https://open.substack.com/pub/createmefree/p/from-autopilot-to-authenticity-slowing?r=340w9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

I finally took some time to do chair yoga. I really need to take that little bit of time for myself more often.

Throne seems like an Amazon wish list but it's an entire site. I found it through a crocheter on one of my socials. From the site, "Create your wishlist to safely receive gifts from your fans without revealing your address." Do you have any experience with it? What do you think of the idea? https://throne.com/login

Have you ever been in a room when singing bowls are being used? It's intense. It's been years, but I swear I remember feeling the reverb in my chest. Is that cat AI though? Lol. It looks real and blissed out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyW5Qw-UH9I

I found this brief presentation about Shinto shrine priests fascinating. What it must be like to be supported by your culture in maintaining a shrine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Keyep60RIZw

An excellent piece by @danicaswanson contemplating how we can value conversational liquidity providers on FC. "With the right systems in place, however, the Farcaster ecosystem could potentially unlock much more of the untapped network value CLPs contribute."

Hi, folks. I've published the music-only version of our grounding, centering, and shielding video on YouTube (previously on Zora) because we know sometimes you just want to vibe to a low drone and do your own thing. https://youtu.be/y2mMuLrCwVk?si=TeEA8jP-QDy3hiiz

I think a flameless electric candle is a fun idea if, for whatever reason, you can't have a flame at your altar but you want candle ambiance. What do you think?

I keep a handmade mini-journal in my desk that I fill with collage inspiration. I usually don't do any mark making and just use paper and glue so it can be like a 10-minute keep the creative juices flowing kind of thing. But I used an oil pastel stick to make dots on this one. The inspiration is me looking forward to gardening this year.

I started a Serenity Sunday prompt/card reading series for my new YT channel. This is one that Pagans might feel more comfortable with, but I plan on creating more that appeal to a wider audience. Doing these videos and the ones for /blxstonesnctuary has inspired me to create content for my main YT feed. I'll start with some frugality tips type vids and go from there as I become more comfortable speaking on camera. I don't know yet if anything monetarily will come from it, but it's been fun creatively for me, so I'm going for it. I hope you're all enjoying your Sunday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM5O2qF17K8

I just signed up for author, crafter, and psychologist Kathryn Vercillo's "Craft to Heal" workshop series starting in March. She's the author of "Crochet Saved My Life," which I just bought and look forward to digging in. Decades ago, shared with my grandmother how her gift of teaching me to crochet helped me battle depression (along with clinical care) and was immensely grateful to her. I can't wait to start the workshops. From what I've seen so far, Kathryn wants to help others tap into this inner resource. https://threadstackcommunity.substack.com/p/making-time-to-create-isnt-selfish?utm_source=cross-post&publication_id=3211294&post_id=157327655&utm_campaign=1649277&isFreemail=true&r=340w9&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

The Sanctuary's first guided grounding and centering video originally released on Zora is now available for viewing on YouTube. If you recall, this one was inspired by @danicaswanson's post, Cave Dwellers Unite. I hope you find it helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1A2nkMMiXI
