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
