January Workshop Update!

Jan 24, 2026 8:07 pm

Hi there,

We hope you’re staying safe and warm as winter weather continues across many parts of the world, including the USA, Canada, Russia, England (UK), Ireland, and Scotland. Here in our area, we’re expecting up to 20 inches of snow with a quarter inch of ice on top of that. We’re glad we stocked up on food and supplies earlier this week because store shelves were nearly empty in Virginia. Our local churches have closed for the weekend, and schools are expected to announce closures by Sunday.

If you’re getting snow where you live, we’d love to hear from you. Let us know your country and what conditions are like. We’re keeping track of it all. Just for fun, I’m going to send out a weekly winter storm tracker so we can track the weather together.

We also wanted to share a quick update on the January 19th workshop. A few people were able to attend our live workshop, and we’re truly grateful for each of them. Since Marie’s energy level wasn’t quite where it needed to be that day, we decided to turn the session into a free networking event instead. We began with an icebreaker question, followed by brief 30-second introductions, and then enjoyed a relaxed, open conversation. It turned out to be a great way for everyone to connect. I loved hearing about what each person does.

Looking ahead, we’ll be hosting a free monthly networking session starting in February 2026 on Zoom. Mark and Marie also plan to pre-record future workshops and post them on our YouTube channel. The January workshop recording will be sent out no later than February 7th.

In the meantime, we’d love to know: what is the main challenge you’re facing when it comes to creating your course?

If you’d like to connect with us on LinkedIn, you’re more than welcome to reach out to Mark and Marie there. And as always, feel free to reply directly to this email with any questions or ideas. We truly enjoy hearing from you.
