12/12/2022 In the Basement with Mary Ellen Bem - YouTube - concept of having discussions on film to see what happened, realized video skills (even switching to read) was not helpful.
A book worth of information in a nutshell Judith is loving her job as a therapist, workshop/ group facilitator at Healing Hearts Carroll, but when planning a Girl Scout 1.5 hour training for 10.19.2023 realized she did not have enough time to share all she wanted, workshops can help up to 10 comfortable at her job, but wanted to have the potential to help more and online, going back to media center for tv/ online may help more. All at the same time Mary was developing her video editing skills, enhancing her knowledge via reading and more, and creating more music.
