Breathing in breath-holding time
This month of The Great Pause, I am thankful for quiet morning walks and spring flowers. And I blog about how our physical routines help us achieve so much more than our fitness goals.
Video Tips You Can Use!
Using a headset/earbuds with microphone can cut down on background interference that you might not be aware of. Helpful for barking dogs, chirping birds and random TikToks from the next room.
Make your video window smaller so you don't distract yourself. But don't turn your video camera off during a work meeting--your boss will suspect you're not really there.
Speak clearly and a bit slower that usual. And speak with energy! Even if you have a great mic, the sound on the other end could be occasionally muddied or garbled. Don't add to confusion by being a mumbler/fast talker/low talker.
Do you have questions about navigating video communication in this time?
Shoot me an e-mail and I'll answer them in upcoming videos.

If your community is looking for ways to celebrate the Suffrage Centennial, please note that it has been extended to August 2021.

Selections from my work-in-progress Saltwater Farm kicked off Pipeline Playwrights' spring reading series, Playwrights at Work! The reading got a great response; I'm busily writing more of the play. I hope to serialize it and post segments on YouTube this summer.
