In this episode I ask John to play/learn some of my favorite hymns in real time, and of course I had to add some Adele in there. We also share some highlights from an eventful afternoon at a tree lighting event.

Arguments and fights are part of life. They can also be learning opportunities. Opportunities to communicate, understand, and love each other, more.

The beauty of life..is that as long as one is alive, there is always a chance to start all over again. Meanwhile John is busy practicing 🎹 and 🎻, and is unaware that I’m recording this..pardon the background 🎶.

Technology makes our lives easier. Social media ‘connects’ us…but does it really?! Do we do things we LOVE or things we think others love? I miss the good old Nokia days…when all we did was play ‘snake’ . 🤣

This episode is a little all over the place. Please don’t judge me. 😒😎. I read from some of Adam Grant’s recent posts on prestige, class, and how we can reframe the age old question, ‘what do you want to be when you grow up?’. Also, listen to his podcast ‘WorkLife with Adam Grant’ on Apple Podcasts (not on ‘ITunes ‘, like I say in this episode!) 😒 smh.

John had an audition today. In this episode we discuss nerves and preparation as they relate to performance or situations that require presenting to an audience.

John walks me through the complexities of drawing hands. It is not as easy as I thought.

In this week’s Thursday Reflections, I explore the idea of ‘mental shackles’, and what to do about them.

John turned a big 16 years old Friday 10/22. Of course I sang happy birthday for him bright and early that morning! 😅. This episode is made up of short conversations I recorded throughout the day Friday, and today.

John discusses anatomy (as it relates to drawing), his research so far, and how teams bring works of art to life, e.g. animated movies etc.
