Wood Brain by: Lindsay Zuelich

I had the honor and privileged to lead a woodworking workshop in Nova Scotia Canada at the Make.Do.Camp.                                                                               It was my first time to Canada, I loved the fresh chilly air, and beautiful homes line along the streets                    Make.Do.Camp is held in Big Cove at a YMCA camp and it's like a sense from a summer camp movie.                                     I gave my phone and all technology up for the weekend, and truly embraced life to the fullest.   I was stoked to lead the workshop along side the extremely talented Gary Staple. Gary has his own fine wood working business in Seaforth Novia Scotia. I learned a great deal of new techniques and tools from Gary while co leading our woodworking workshop. I look forward to doing another co lead workshop with Gary in the future. www.GaryStaplefinewoodworking.com Photo by: Cat Mack  Photo by: Cat Mack 

             What's the last stamp you got in your passport? What's keeping you from going out and adding a new stamp to your passport this year! My goal is to run out of pages in my passport, whats yours?   In the end we only regret the chances we didn't take. This is my mantra when ever I get nervous about making a decision on something big. Do you have a mantra you use when faced with fear? Is that mantra helping you or hindering you?  I have the honor to be leading a hands on woodworking workshop in Barcelona Spain at The Collective Europe retreat in October. We'll be using exotic wood veneers to create a beautiful one of a kind wooden business card case that each person can be proud they made by hand. I'm extremely lucky to have a great group of friends and mentors around the globe and I have travel to thank for that. Getting out of my comfort zone and my normal surroundings to meet new people has been a the leading cause and effect t
