I'd like to thinking that we are pretty smart. Though there's always more to learn.

It continues to be great motivation to connect more, which has really strengthened our bonds.

Best of luck motivating your kids, I think they will come round.

Preparing for my annual brothers call. We have an ongoing challenge to see who has lived the best life that year. There's 13 categories, we have a 1 point, star, and 0 system. It's a mixture of judging individually and collectively, then we decide who or how many of us had the best year. I'm pretty such I stacked the most Satoshi.

This has been great for bringing us closer together throughout the year. Along with giving us each a level of extra motivation to succeed at life, as we are each rooting for each other.

That can happen. I'm preparing a workshop for cultivating creativity, and finishing the project(s). Partly for people with the second guess problem, partly for those who can't find the time and inspiration lining up, as well as several other angles.

And one thing for the second guessers is just put it out- there will be more opportunities to make the next one even better. Another strategy is to produce as much as possible in a given time, the choose a number of them to be the best you've made and release/show them.

May you complete all your works!

Thanks!

I've made it through 6 hours of editing for my next album. This is from two days of recording in August. These were group recordings, now I have the solo instruments to listen through which is about 3 hours. Then I have my own parts, about 3 hours. Finally the vocal parts another 3 hours. Then I need to put them all together, while constantly thinning down the mix. I'm certain when it done it will be more than a little original. It's a good thing I love this. The edits are ruthless, shooting from the hip. It's a bit like chiseling a stone for a statue. I find that if I second guess myself the project will take a decade.

Onwards

Thanks for the heads up.

On a #family #walk today we came across these lovelies. It's unseasonably warm and we even noticed spring bulbs starting to come up. Gotta be ready for any weather.

Ahhahahaha

Today my eldest and I crested this bushe de noel. About 4.5 hours for everything involved. It's one of our annual holiday activities that, and will be bringing it to a large dinner party tonight. My mother made these almost every year as a kid, and so it has become a bit of a family tradition that's getting passed along.

That's incredible, Lego is really taking the game to new heights.

#Celebrating #yule last evening the season just keeps giving. This is our yule #spiral which we traverse to the center then light our candles from a central #candle, then as we traverse out we place our lit candles along the spiral. All this while #singing then we ate and shared stories. A lovely night.

They most certainly are. I do an even mix of flour to squash, leaning towards the squash.

This one is great.

#Solstice is a three day event in our home, with #Christmas celebrated with our extended #family as the finale.

This was part of our celebratory #garden fresh squash #waffles and #bacon #breakfast

The kids loved it.

Friday Art Day!

It's a busy time of year, and so I am making this week a soluble feature with a new musical single as well. If ever you are interested in purchasing any of my art just DM.

It was delicious

It's not always what I would choose, but receiving lunch as part of a work day is lovely. This is the dessert portion.

Remember these? This was stuck in my truck since I bought it. I finally got the wd40 and two channel locks together to pry it out.
