  • In this chatty weekly vlog, I tackle trimming my tree. I pick tiles for my bathroom renovation, do some live radio and have an epic resin fail.
    The resin kit I used featured in the video below, I mistakenly mixed the resin 1:1 ratio instead of 2:1 ratio. Which meant the resin did not have a chemical reaction to cause it to harden. I hope you learn from my mistake.

    So, I used the plant app from suggestions, and it came back as a "Gum Bully", A species of sideroxylon, from pictures online of the flowers, I think that this is correct. I am safe from the fairies!

      I'm from Tyneside but live in Western Canada, and we planted a Toba hawthorn in our garden some years ago. Because we're zone 3 many things that are hardy over there can't survive here in northern Alberta, but this Toba variety of hawthorn can be grown. It has tiny little bright pink flowers in spring and leaves that are small and with lots of points, a bit like tiny maples, not at all like the leaves I saw as you were clearing up your prunings. I'm glad you were able to identify your tree and you're safe from the fairies. My hawthorn didn't survive this past winter so now it has to be felled, and I'm sad to lose it. Trees are precious, not just for the air we breathe but for the beauty they give us. I hope the fairies aren't ticked off at us. 🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🥺

    “It’s better to try and fail than fail to try.” That will never refer to you. YOU ARE FEARLESS! As you do more public speaking live, Catherine, it will become much easier each time. I like these chatty vlogs and the wide variety within them. You are always so funny and clever when you are talking to us, and I almost feel like I know you! You always have me in a happy mood by the end and it is so enjoyable to listen to you, watch you try something new or difficult, and see that you are always so positive, no matter what. Thank you for putting your total effort into everything you do and sharing it with us!

    I am a Priest of over forty years experience and I always get nervous before I speak. I think that being nervous is a sign that you deeply care about what you are sharing. So nerves are something that will stay with you forever and you will continue to delight and inform everyone who listens to you! 🥰

    About public speaking, RTE acknowledged that you are a star. How great is that! So many subscribers, proven content and delivery. The more interviews you do the more natural it will feel. Bob Hope's maxim for performances was to "always show that you are happy to be there". That comes naturally to you. You already know your topics because you live them. I've given power point talks to large groups. I always add something I haven't shared previously., extra photos or a story. A cousin lives on a farm in Galway. Years ago, her husband wanted to clear a field they weren't using but she hesitated because of the presence of Hawthorn. I've been blessed with many cats who have lived to a great age. They need moisture. Easily dehydrated. Every cat I've had loves Gerber's Baby Beef (whipped beef) when they are poorly. Not a regular diet for long but nice as a treat, too. Recommended by a vet. I purchased a small cat fountain on Amazon (only $25.). The cat took right to it. They love running water. Thanks for your positive, relatable videos.

    You are an amazing woman! I actually showed my husband your tree trimming tool. One tip I can give you from him is, he puts an old sheet down to lay the trimmings on. That way he can gather is up easier. I have serious health issues and have stayed home since last March. I'm more nervous now that people in the US aren't wearing masks and everything is opening up. I would hate to have made it this far then get sick. We are being MORE careful than ever!

    Stage fright:
    The poor haters won’t be helped by the help you have to offer no matter what time you have or prep you put in; the dear people who will be helped only have so much time with you and you doing your best will be enough and you must keep calm focus on those friends. Tea with friends. Make yourself a public speaking mug that says “tea with friends” and put your intention on being the relaxed gentle hostess that guides and not on being a performer. There’s no flaming hoop to jump through. You are enough. Thanks again for you, from Canada.

    Public Speaking was req'd in college. Here's some tips
    1. Notecards - just write topics to avoid reading.
    2. Look up frequently if you must read something.
    3. Making eye contact keeps audience engaged, so remember to look left, center, right, center, left, center, & so on.
    4. Lastly, practice, & avoid saying "um".
    Hope this helps! Love your vids:)

Didn't like the SIRT tablets at all but hope they helped....... I think recent times cause a chronic stress rather than high intensity stress.... its just so wearing.... so really, you are doing great. I find stopping smelling lavendar and rosemary help me be in the moment.... and dancing in the kitchen like a nut....

    Hi Catherine, love your channel, I never miss a video. You touched a nerve when you spoke about fear of public speaking, I've suffered the same for years. I recommend you look at Mel Robbins videos, she explains that the physical feeling of fear is exactly the same as the physical feeling of excitement. So, instead of thinking that your fearful you can think ' I'm really excited to be doing this radio chat'. It's worked for me !

    Catherine on a Sunday!! That's my FUNDAY! Love hearing about the Irish folklore. Found out I am equal parts (my Mom's family came from Crohane and my Dad's parent's came from Ayrshire, Scotland) Irish and Scottish ancestry. As for your speaking dilemma, I get you. I think us Chatty Cathy's just hate speaking live and in public. Maybe doing more live UA-cam's? Will make you feel more comfortable...or as they said on Brady Bunch episode...picture the audience sitting in their underwear! :-) Have a good night! Cheeky thumbs up!

    Catherine - so enjoyed just hanging out with you. You are never boring! Here are some completely random thoughts: Look upon your "pre-show anxiety" as a positive ... the adrenaline it creates can truly be a plus. Re: the tree ... take a small branch or some leaves to your local nursery and have them ID it. I've been doing Yoga with Adriene for the past 2 years ... she is the best! Poor Pepsi - when my cat became "elderly" she became a very picky eater ... I spent lots of time standing in the pet store reading cat food labels. Thumbs up on the acupuncture ... my best advice is to make sure you are staying hydrated ... it makes ALL the difference! Have a good week!

    Fun to watch Catherine. One would never know that you have such anxiety about speaking live. You seems so relaxed on your videos. You did a great job on your tree. Be very careful using resin. That is a target Chemical and can be very unhealthy. It may not show up until later in life so be careful on how often you are around that stuff. Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸

Take that on your next chat on the radio/tv and you will get thru it easy peasy! LOL any word on your book? I'll be one of the first in line to by!

    Here in the US the resin you’re using can just be tossed into the garbage. I work in a lab where we use resin every day to grind up sections of printed circuit boards. As soon as the bottles are empty they can be tossed. If you end up with extra just pour hardener in it and let it set up, then go ahead and throw it out. Love the video and you aren’t boring by any means! Funny and courageous I’d say!

    Hi, Catherine, you're doing everything you should in terms of the public speaking. It's usual to be nervous - you should be concerned when you are no longer nervous because that means you are complacent and your audience will soon figure you out. Good luck with your future radio appearances!

    I think the only way of getting more relaxed when public speaking is doing it all the time until you have been through some terrible situations and learn that they are not so terrible after all or at least they are always fixable 😅 if possible, having a second person supporting you is also awesome. but depending also on what kind of public speaking you are doing. what i like to do as well for very challenging ones, is to prepare something really nice as a treat afterwards. so even if it doesnt go well, there is always something to look froward to

  • @zoeemiko8149

    I have to admit I'm quite happy you've decided resin isn't your thing. Unless you're wearing a full on professional chemical respirator the fumes are terribly bad for your lungs. I speak from a place of experience. I got into making resin tumblers & while I worked with open windows & wore a face mask I still managed to damage my lungs which took several months to recover from. More importantly is the sanding of resin surfaces & breathing in the resin dust. My Dr explained to me the "non-toxic" state of resin & hardener apply independently but not when they're mixed together. It's not so much how toxic they are, or not, it's the particulates which cause the irritation & inflammation. In my case it caused me to develop asthma. Exposed to the slightest irritant, even household dust, would trigger an asthma attack. This went on for about 4 months.
    I'm having to ease slowly into going out again. Here the mask mandates have been removed for those who are fully vaccinated but even those who aren't are tossing aside their masks and running wild. A selfish thing to do for sure. My small rural community of 2K has the highest spread rate in this entire state(US state). As a result of this we've had a new surge. Just this last Friday graduation was held at our local school. I took 1 look in through the open doors of the gymnasium & went home. About 80% were maskless. We stand at only 41% of the community having the 1st vaccine & only 27% being fully vaccinated. 10 or so days from now no doubt we'll see another major surge. It's happened after every single holiday & event where people cluster here.

    Congrats on your radio work. One tip for right beforehand: Do some box breathing (Google it). Box breathing, especially the longer exhales, stimulate your vagus nerve, which runs from your head to your gut, which activates your body's calming response. I've done box breathing before stressful events and it's helped me drift into a calmer mindset.

    😇💜 Hi Catherine, OK first of all, I have captions, that are on my phone, when I'm watching UA-cam., BUT...they didn't use to be on my phone when I'm watching UA-cam, and as I'm watching you explain, about the tree { it was written in the caption, as a fairy fart LOL 🤭 } I REALLY enjoy, hearing from you, and I also ENJOY any kind of history, or even anything mythical { I think 🤔 I'm saying it correctly LOL 😆 }
    any way, when you showed us the tool, for cutting or trimming the tree, and you mentioned Mr. Carrington, I was thinking about, when you two went to a seminar, and I can't believe that, it has been two years ago.🤗
    Mr.Carrington is such a SWEET person, and I have watched his channel a couple of times.🤗
    I L 💜 VE hearing, the birds🐦🐦 singing in the background.🤗
    My back yard, doesn't have any trees 🌳, but the front yard, has the trees 🌳, that happens to be the cities trees 🌳, and so the city takes care of them.🌳🐦🤗💜💜💜 I do miss gardening, but I can't do it anymore, because of health reasons.😊💜
    Anyway SWEETIE, Thank YOU for sharing this vlog with us, and I HOPE that this finds you well My SWEET friend.🤟😘🤗😊💜💜💜💜💜
    P.S. as Bob Ross would have said, your craft issue, that didn't work or turn out the way you would have liked { it's a Happy mistake 🤗 }

    Catherine I absolutely love your vlogs! The longer the better. Mr Carrington introduced me to you a while ago and I find you both so interesting and soothing!
    I suffer from anxiety and vertigo among other things. You are so amazing at all you do, you have inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and do more to push my boundaries. If I panic over having to do something or go somewhere I reassure myself I "don't" have to do it but I "want" to do it so that sometimes helps me alittle. Thank you for being you ❤ xxx

You’re trying things that viewers are interested in, and sometimes saving them a few mistakes in the trying. (More likely that things will be successful.)

    What a wonderful surprise to get a 2nd video this week! Yeah! The Tea Cup in the 1st part of the video is so pretty, tiny little flowers.
    The tree - I like the idea of it being connected to the Fairies. You could offer them some trinkets and bond with them, maybe some pretty stones, crystals, feathers, a fairy door, etc. I like the idea of ferns but what about adding some moss in that area as well, should do very well in the shaded corner and with the climate you have there, and fairies like moss, I hear, ha ha....
