The new moon approaches and I am hoping that with the nights cooler and mosquito free, I will be able to take full advantage of this beautiful time of the month, for the first time in what feels like forever. Since I heard this song , I recall it every new moon.
The lyrics and tune are simple and catchy:
"New moon, new me, I am planting my seeds, new moon, new me, new energy" Fia

One of my little darlings, that I painted this week
This summer has been hard, in a different kind of way compared to last year. It has been an assault on the senses, and I am not sure if city living has really gotten that bad, or if my body is more adamant about the peace it needs. I cannot wait for the calm of Autumn and the deep sleep of Winter. I feel it in my bones, that this new moon is the opening to a new chapter of calm *touches wood...wonders if laminate board counts as wood*
Today I finally published my YouTube video! It went from a vlog, to a short 4 minute time-lapse. It's definitely the start of something cool for me. Doing it unlocked my memories of why I started studying for a BA in Multimedia, I had a desire to make music videos, and comedy videos. Slowly but surely, that was all hacked away - but here I am 16 years later, with access to knowledge and resources that I could not imagine back then.
If you feel so inclined, you can watch my video here:
The auto-generated subtitles have just one error - which is awesome
You know, I often feel like I am 'behind and delayed'. Today however, I feel like I am totally on time - today I trust that goodness is all on time for me, and my work.
Tamka Out!

Loved your video. And especially loved this: "You know, I often feel like I am 'behind and delayed'. Today however, I feel like I am totally on time". That just made me feel happy reading it. :-)
congrats to new beginings
I loved Loved LOVED the video. Not only the way you explained how you wonder If you add value and leave it as a question to the viewer but also explain how the video added value for yourself. I love your techniques that I am familiar with (pushing back something in a picture, for instance) that I forget that is possible. Many other things as I watched as well. Thank you, I'll be watching future VLOGs to see what else you create.
'My body is adamant about the peace it needs' ' I LOVE this!
