A Dancing Fairy (and Grasshopper!) Inside Joyful Pause Cottage. Come See the Video.

Posted by Barbara Techel

It has been one of the most magical June’s I can remember in a long time. Though I know it’s just the beginning of the month. But I’m feeling like the difficulties of 2020 are beginning to show the gifts of why we had to go through what we did.

For me, I’m deeply appreciating things even more than I did before. The simple things. Like growing a vegetable garden this year, paying even more attention to the flower and shrub gardens around my Joyful Pause Cottage and home, quiet weekend mornings sipping coffee out front with John, and catching moments like this when a fairy and grasshopper dance in the sparkling light coming through the shade on my window…

Click here to watch the video I captured of it, or on the video below… 

Wishing you a most magical week.

Joyful Pause Moment Outside My Cottage. Plus Last Call for a Free Ticket to Animal Wisdom World Summit.

Posted by Barbara Techel

In case you missed it and a recent video I did…
 
I recently renamed this place of my own from my Writing Cottage to Joyful Pause Cottage. While it began as a space (outside my house) to support my writing adventure that began in 2007, it has evolved into supporting me in an abundance of many other ways, which of recent has included exploring mixed media art more. So hence the change in name as this captures it all and what this space means to me.
 
We are at peak color here in Wisconsin and my eyes are on a happy overload sensory of such beauty!
 
Also, last call to get your free ticket for the 2020 Animal Wisdom World Summit! This is a two-day event that begins Monday, October 12th. It features experts in the world of animals that host Dr. Cara Gubbins has brought together with a variety of topics from soul contracts with our animals, letting animals lead, partnering with nature, and my talk about healing with our pets, plus so much more!
 
 
Hope to see you there and hear from you in the private Facebook group that Dr. Cara has created where we can all connect.

A Fall Tour of My Writing Cottage. Plus Announcement of Its Change in Name.

Posted by Barbara Techel

I’m always so inspired by the fall season! So I shot a video of my writing cottage all decked out for fall on the outside. But on the inside, I take you around my 10 x 12 space and share an update of how it continues to evolve and support my creative endeavors, along with something I’ve been contemplating for some time. And that is, a change in the name from calling it my Writing Cottage to….well, you’ll just have to give a listen to find out. Enjoy the tour!

xo,

Barbara
