Those of us in the #100daydresschallenge travel to the beat of a different drum. Mostly one that resonates with minimalism, sustainability, and camaraderie.  We are a group moving together, but still separately.  We each have our own agenda and our own start date.

In that vein, I am also doing a 7-day Bodhran challenge and learning to play this amazing Irish drum.  This challenge is graciously put on for free, open to anyone, through the Facebook   Traddrumers Group

It is taught by the amazingly talented and ever-so-patient Aimée Farrell Courtney. I understand that she does private lessons, and I will be seriously looking into that.  The group also hosts jams and play alongs.  So I’m honing my skills privately — but look out once the pandemic is over!!

And Yesterday, I found a used Bodhran at Tradeup Music in Portland!!

So I will indeed,  travel to the beat of a different drum!

For those of you who still haven’t heard…I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool&  —  Same dress.  100 days. Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with the weekly travels.

Today’s goals:

  • Put together a new outfit — something utilitarian
  • Try out the new Drum

What’s in store for today:

Today is a busy day… it’s day 3 of the Bodhran drum challenge at 9 am, and then Rhythm with my Friend Eje from 10 – 12. 

I’ll be working on another batch of homemade ginger Kombucha, setting up dog vaccinations, food shopping, and stopping my the Brew Shop for more bottles for the Kombucca

Puffy Lands End vest in pink plaid goes great with Gray.  Ank keep me warm — we had snow yesterday!  

I found these Keen Kaci  on sale, and I love them…  Although my daughter suggested I ditch the socks.

Me and my drum — Ann Taylor Loft sweater over the iron gray Woolamina.

Simple, and the layers keep me warm.

In case you were wondering — what is up with the Lip Gloss!!!

I get mine from Ashley aka Momma Starry — and they don’t smear or come off — ever.  And I love the color.  Personally, I layer them. She can show you how.

And that’s me– hiking up my socks… Just because I wanted to keep it real!!
