My idea of a great day —- when our local black bear crosses the road in front of me on my way home and stops and looks my way .. I wasn’t quick enuf with the phone to get a pic but I’m still grinning from the experience .
Since I don't yet have a course on Video Podcasting, here is a free one from Ecamm you can check out https://www.ecamm.com/podcasting-course/


A fabulous fellow creator is doing a 3 day TikTok challenge starting tomorrow for $7 with some optional upsells that I think will be interesting. I really enjoy her content and I signed up to go through it myself. https://www.keenyakelly.com/challenge/

🎬 Video Editing Class + Schedule Update!
Hey creators! Quick update for the week:
✨ The rest of the Video Editing Class will be uploaded as tutorials—so you can dive in at your own pace and revisit whenever you need. No livestream this Friday since it’s a holiday for some of our community (enjoy the long weekend if you're celebrating!).
🗓️ The VCC schedule is getting a full makeover to better serve you—and we’ll be announcing the brand new format very soon. The goal is to build out a clearer structure for all of us.
✅ Advanced Group Calls are still happening this week:
Monday at 3pm PT
Friday at Noon PT
Thanks for being here—and as always, keep creating! 💛
— Marielou
Friday April 4 - class and advanced group call are canceled today. There’s no clsss or call on Monday because I’ll be at a conference. See you next Friday! Thank you for understanding 💕
