What I am working on now:
June 28, 2020: The last time I posted here it was Dec 12, 2019. Our world is so different now. When the Covid shutdown happened, I went live 6 days a week instead of just one. It was crazy, but I think it kept me sane. THANK YOU to everyone who showed up during that time. The ability to connect and make new friends when shut up at home was amazing.
I’ve since rolled the schedule back to 4 times a week. I actually go live much more than that to private groups, but 4 times a week to the general public. On Tuesday and Friday, I deliver a live lesson to Youtube. On Wednesday and Saturday I host a hook-in on Zoom. You can access more information about the live events here.
I am running a Charter class for a new course, How to Design your own Landscape Pattern and two Virtual Online Workshops. Once they are fully tested (and successful) I will roll these programs out to the public.
I tested a new Live! Lesson format and it was a dismal failure in early 2020. I’ve since started using a new system that is working VERY WELL. The best news is that it is on Youtube so no special software, etc. Go here to see the next upcoming lesson topic. Be sure to subscribe and then click the bell to get notified whenever I go live, even if it is not at the pre-determined time.
The easiest way to access the Live! Events
Simply go to the Dashboard and click one of these links. You do not even need to be logged in. Just scroll down below the log in forms.
Time zones can be tricky. The easiest way? Just type in the time you want translated, such as 4pm eastern into a Google search. Google knows were you are (i know, creepy, right? but handy) and will tell you time in whatever time zone you are currently in. Really handy for travel.
What’s New?
These are the new or updated posts from the last 45 days. I am adding * at the beginning of lessons to indicate they are not complete. That does not mean they do not have content, some do, but I have more to say.
