This is a very basic vocal warmup, just to wake up and engage your voice for the day ahead.... and it comes with a challenge,..... Try it daily for a few days... a week would be better.. and let me know if you've found a difference in how your voice feels, or if it's more quickly 'engaged' for your work .. A comment of how this has been for you would be great... subscribe would be awesome... (she said shamelessly hoping you will )... and if you're taking part in the Ecamm 'LEAP INTO PODCASTING EVENT'.... (Sept 29-30) see you there!!!

Friday is GAMES day. Today I'm playing a bit of SHADOWGUN LEGENDS by MADFINGER GAMES.  My IGN is GRANNYGUN (yup, took me a whole 2 agonising minutes to think that one up). And although I've kinda 'retired' from this game I thought I might just play a little.  I have my coffee by my side... and if you're listening / watching this episode... spoiler alert... I've had a couple of bad days... small 'pity party'... so be warned.. I'm ok now...

I'm old, I chat about whatever is on my mind... but at the moment I'm obsessed with making felt flowers.... ok, it's not much of a life, but I'm enjoying it... something about cutting, stitching, and HOT GLUE.... that makes my heart go pitter pat..... almost as much as a good frozen margarita... bring a beverage and join me !

Hello Universe and welcome to my corner of it! Bring a beverage and join me with my current project.

This episode I'll be hand sewing a hem for some new curtains. This is from a live stream on the day that Nichelle Nicholas died and had me musing about my experiences in the late 60's when I was in High School. 

I'm new to podcasting and live streaming, so please bear with me as I learn... and if my attempt makes you giggle ... feel free... and I'd be glad of a comment or 2.. I'm pretty thick skinned.... but remember...

YOU MAKE THE GRANNY UNHAPPY.... YOU GET NO COOKIES!
