My name is Ken Norwood. 

At the moment I’m just starting to understand IG.  I turn wood and resin and make pieces of art.  The best part is that I have PTSD and while doing this art my mind is only focused on making things.  I love this as it makes me feel normal 

[Chris-S]

@KenN471 , I find your hobby incredibly enjoyable. In my free time, I engage in woodworking as well. Although I have yet to begin working with resin, I aspire to do so in the future.

Hello my name is Regina Blackburn 

[KimGCHeartWise]

Hi Nick, I'm Kim Gordon Cumbo. My business is HeartWiseHealingPaths.com  This business grew from my previous business, IgniteChangeCoaching.com.  As a coach, I evolved along with my clients. Communication externally was not enough for them. The intuitive skills I utilize in other areas of my life opened opportunities to grow even more to help me help my clients.  I trained in all levels of Reiki.  I learned different intuitive and spiritual communication and connection skills, which became a part of my life and business.  I trained in the modality of SoulCollage and other intuitive art classes worked well. 

Life changed and we downsized and moved.  I had the last elective (knee replacement) two days before the COVID-19 lockdown.

Like everyone being in lockdown I adapted. Being flexible and adaptable to being with family safely; learning more technology, especially Zoom; and practicing being with myself, my partner, and our new home on a full-time basis. There were bumps, hills, and valleys; yet the ambivert in me appreciated less time OUT and being BUSY. 

This impacted my business as I was an in-person business. I utilized the lockdown well and found great joy in learning how to work more in-depth with Oracle cards, particularly the Angel Guide Oracle by Kyle Gray UK. I also learned how to work with crystals through the Crystal Guide Energy Training (I am certified). I learned how to hold my own Reiki Shares, SoulCollage Classes, individual Reiki sessions (both human and Animal Reiki) ONLINE, and up-leveled my Reiki by taking the Hawaiian Karuna Master training, and Animal Reiki Master Training. 

All that I do is still done online, with some hybrid opportunities coming in the future. 

Intuition, self-discovery, personal wisdom, self-empowerment, healing energy, communication, creativity, and continual learning are what I have focused on in my life personally;  and this is what I want for everyone I come in contact with on social media, in daily life, for my family, of my clients and students. 

We have a Siberian Forest Kitten, Gorm who is 7 months old; Fred's first cat (hypoallergenic). My partner, Fred, retired from Energy Conservation work (40 Years) He is a vegetable gardener, and a Saxophone and Flute Jazz musician, who is in two bands. We trailer camp in Oregon State Parks. The 5 adult kids and the 8 grandchildren keep us busy in the Summer. We love canoeing, trees, animals, the ocean, and rivers.  Driving on backcountry roads, dancing, music (just about any, except for opera), and gluten-free cooking and meals fill us with joy that soothes and heals. 

About me- My loves- my 4 sons and 1 daughter and their 8 kiddos; meditation (kundalini), creating crystal grids, needle felting dolls, organizing and making photo collages of family or other photos of nature or art; dancing as I can; caring, laughing and supporting my 91-year-old father; exploring new places with Fred, travel to Ireland/England/New Orleans/and Pacific Northwest Cities; this should be first, laughing and finding Joy in  with Fred/family/kitten/life through the good, hard, and wisdom gathering experiences

Hi @KimGCHeartWise 

I am grateful for the opportunity to connect with you and appreciate you sharing your journey and passions. Your commitment to ongoing growth and flexibility, especially in transitioning your in-person offerings to an online platform, is impressive. Your path is clearly focused on nurturing intuition, promoting healing, and empowering those you serve, which is truly meaningful.

[CarolynlL]

My name is: Carolyn Lawscha, I have an online Wedding/Bridal Accessory boutique.  www.weddingjut4u.biz  I frequently write posts for my social media.  I just recently created a qr code that is visible on my site. It links to parts of my site, You tube and social media.  What I would like to know how to add my qr code within my posts

[Chris-S]

Welcome @CarolynlL 

You can do this a few ways:

1. Save the QR code image file to your computer. Make sure it's in a widely supported image format like JPEG, PNG, or GIF.

2. Navigate to where you want to add the QR code (e.g., an email campaign, a newsletter, social media site, etc.).

3. Find the option to insert an image. This is typically represented by an "Image" or "Picture" button in the editor toolbar.

4. Upload your QR code image from your computer. 

Hope this helps

Hi Everyone,

I am Brotchman. One of my prime missions in life is to share joy through music. I am a song catcher. Grab'em right from the sky I do. Then I give them a run for their money this way and that both lyrically and musically until one is ready to be released like a butterfly and visit its melodic ear pollen upon the unsuspecting. My competing passion is continuing to build our wonderful homestead farm in the beautiful hills of Vermont with my dear wife Abigail. I am very excited to be a new member of the Constant Contact community so that we may find our way to building audience for my music. I have been a performing musician for many years but I have never pursued it with the serious marketing dedication that is required until now. I have a bit of a niche. I write a lot of topical material and songs to inspire change for the good of the world. My most cherished compliment came from the lips of Pete Seeger after he accompanied me at Grand Central Station on my song "No War No More" (song video on my youtube channel). My songs touch people's hearts, heads and feet. I want to share them with the world. My dream is to lead a sea of people with arms waving in the air singing and saying the pledge to "Allegiance To The Blue", my climate change anthem for the planet.

I have high hopes for the positive marketing progress I can attain with the help of CC. 

Thank you for welcoming us into this community.

Truly,

Brotchman

[Chris-S]
