Do you Zentangle? #vlog #chaiwithsuzy #SuzysIlation

Zentagling in my view is a just a fancy name for doodling which I've loved doing as far back as I can remember. Doodling or Zentangling is quite therapeutic. Probably because it keeps you focussed on the "pattern" you are creating.

I'm sure there is a science behind this art and can be learned, but my zentangles are just random and follow no techniques. But I do need a better pen.

This weekend I picked up my pen again and startd on a new drawing. I hope to keep this up through September (practicing) as this year I would like to take part in Inktober which is a daily art challenge held in October.

So grab a cuppa and join me in my zentangling journey.

Are Teachers Undervalued? #vlog #chaiwithsuzy #SuzysIlation

Last week primary and secondary school teachers went on strike in NZ for more pay.

Are they justified or not? Who am I to say?

But I do know that there are some teachers who are truly dedicated to their profession. These are the teachers under whose tutelage students thrive. I have seen this first hand with my children and grateful for these teachers who made learning a pleasure for them.

And then there are others who have somehow managed to demotivate and demoralise my children.

Today's vlog is on the teacher's strike. So grab a cuppa and join me as we watch the teachers march.

The mediocre teacher tells.

The good teacher explains.

The superior teacher demonstrates.

The great teacher inspires.

Movement Creates Energy - #vlog #chaiwithsuzy #SuzysIlation

I missed a vlog last week as the film didn't turn out good and it got too dark to film again. But it was a good topic that Denyse had as a prompt - countries I have visited - and maybe one of these days, I will vlog on that again.

Today however, I will keep the vlog simple and talk about movement. It's a rare day when you can see the windmills so clearly and that triggered the topic for today's vlog.

It is said that the flutter of a butterfly's wings can cause a tsunami halfway across the world. All movement creates and shifts energy.

So grab a cuppa and enjoy the windmills and other movements of nature.

This morning as I was going to work I observed that the closer I got to the city, my energy shifted. The hills and trees give off a different energy which is why I always feel refreshed and rejuvenated in nature. But the effect of concrete really did feel like stagnant and heavy energy.

Have you observed the shifts in energy from countryside to city? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Hope you enjoyed today's video and the message it gave.
