Staying Warm in Winter
Here is a video response to a question posted in the comments by a blog reader. It was fun to make. Send some more questions, and I try to post a video response!
TEDx Inspires Me!
A few months ago I received a voicemail from Kelly in Traverse City, Michigan. In her message, she briefly explained a conference where I was invited to give a short 12 minute presentation. At first thought I was only mildly interested. It was a long way to travel. Besides, what can I say in only 12 minutes anyway? But when I returned her call and listed to Kelly explain what a TEDx conference was, I became more and more excited. TED talks are limited to such a brief time so that they can pack the day with inspiration from a variety of voices. Kelly shared with me TED’s history, its goal of spreading wonderful ideas,…
Flying the Kite Cam!
Plans for One Simple Question are fully underway. The creative minds of Reach Within Productions and Doctrine Creative have teamed up with Ben and I to create a dynamic film. Just today, I was out on the lawn flying the kite/camera for the first time. I love kites, but this one was especially amazing! The camera hung from the kite string on a small harness. I’ll be out practicing more before I set sail in only one month! Watch this video to catch a glimpse of the maiden flight!
Kickstarter Campaign Launched Today!
Today the crew of One Simple Question launched the Kickstarter fundraising campaign. I am very excited to be working on this project with some amazing people. I hope you like it too!
NEW VIDEO: Liveaboard Life
The following video was made to follow the previous video by Kirsten from Fair Companies, a vlog centered around sustainable culture. I answered a lot of Kirsten’s questions and was excited and interested to see how she would arrange my thoughts into one short video. Thanks again, Kirsten, for making such a beautiful video!
Liveaboard Life: Minimalism in a Tiny Home at Sea
The following video was made by Kirsten from Fair Companies. Kirsten contacted me because she is currently interested in how and why people live in small spaces. Daphne surely is a small home. Fair Companies is a vlog centered around sustainable culture. Its full of interesting videos! Thank you, Kirsten, for making this video that is a glimpse into my world.
Live on ABC 29&8!
Last week I was invited for a live Skype interview with Jamie Kramer on ABC 29&8. The interview only lasted five minutes, but I was nervous. I had no idea what she was going to ask me, or how I was going to answer. We discussed my interest in sailing, how I feel sailing alone, and the movie project that I am excited to be a part of. One Simple Question is a film about two parallel stories. On one hand, it’s about the thrill of seeing an iceberg. On the other hand, it’s about finding happiness through simplicity. I’m very excited about this film. If you want to support us and have a moment to…
I made a video!
I have been exploring other creative sides lately and playing a bit with video making. I have made several and decided to make a short one for this blog. Life Aboard SV Daphne can be found on my SailingSimplicity YouTube channel, or on the side bar of this blog. Let me know what you think! Teresa
Sailing, Simplicity, and the Pursuit of Happiness, began in 2008 when Teresa gave up a whole lot of stability for the unstable plan to chase her dreams by living aboard a boat and taking on odd jobs to support her lifestyle, and selling handcrafted items through her online
