The Netherlands, Spain and Beyond: Travel Blog
As my and Daniel’s trip to Spain draws closer and I must look into accommodations, activities and transportation, I also want to keep in mind what sort of video I want to make! While going through my old blogs to optimize for SEO (no, I did not do anything with that in mind although it would have saved me a bunch of effort) I realized that while I had a before Netherlands and an unboxing after losing my equipment over there, I never did share my travel vlog. Due to belonging to the service “Next Vacay” , Daniel and I got to go to Amsterdam for cheap ($300 a ticket!!!!!)…

Permission to Speak? Granted.
I am blessed to know so many amazing and inspirational people! One of them, Nick Suino of https://nicklaus-suino.com put on a kick-butt day-long event and asked me to speak. So I did! I come to the stage at 2:36 I talk a bit about my story and how asking “What’s the worst that can happen” while either making consistent small steps or jumping head first into something helps to develop us into the person that we aspire to be.

Should I hire a videographer for my event?
It’s a difficult decision to decide if it’s worth the cost to hire a videographer for your event. In the effort of making things simpler, I made a flow chart! (Ooh! For the record, if you’re wondering about a photographer for your event, this flowchart works the same- just exchange for the right lingo.) I’ve broken it down into three outcomes: You forgo having any media coverage You locate a volunteer or encourage attendee content You hire a professional videographer (in any range of skill) It would be inaccurate and quite leading to say “hiring a videographer is the answer in every scenario”. It just isn’t! However, there are a…

It started with a donut…
What did you do to your hand? The short answer is “I punched a wall”, the long answer is a little more embarrassing and a little (okay, a lot) less indicative of anger problems. On a totally nondescript Friday evening, after a productive (I think?) day of work, I was set about to sit down to some episodes of “The Flash”. “Hm, as satisfying as that would be, this could be better…” I thought, as I remembered the few cider mill donuts my husband and I had frozen for later appreciation, as after purchasing them and eating around 6 in a sitting, I didn’t think I could eat another donut…

Questions on Intellectual Rights and Answers from the Universe
I’ve had a quandry rattling around in my head. Usually when we have some thought playing on repeat, it’s not something beneficial. It’s just some open loop that we run over and over looking for closure, mostly without realizing it, and usually not finding what we’re looking for until we finally bring it into focus. This time was no different. I work in a field of intellectual rights. It’s easy to NOT steal something physical, but the whole world gets murky when the goods are virtual. What constitutes copyright infringement when the products are words, photos, videos, and ideas? Thankfully, I haven’t had to deal with any “theft” or potential…
