What paddling a canoe can teach us about relationships

What began as filming a straightforward project time-lapse turned into a meditation on self-compassion, relationship building, and the art of making canoe paddles. Watch me turn a bunch of chunks of wood from all over the place into a symbol of love and devotion.

Hi! I’m Katie, Mandy’s cousin. Her dad sent this to me and I thought, “weird Tom wants me to build him an oar.” But nope, such a wonderful & inspirational video! So lovely to see! Hope to meet you someday. ❤️

Too much BS not enough paddle making, although I did like the end result.
