  • Join me and my dog Skye for a relaxing walk along a quiet salmon river early morning on Vancouver Island. Gentle music and ambient forest sounds blend perfectly with the occasional tinkle of Skye's bear-bell.

    I think you're finding what other youtubers find -- it's a lot of work, and you get tired and feel pressed to keep finding content. Starting is one thing. Continuing without repeating yourself is another. So yes, take the summer off, and we'll still be here! And thank you anyway.

    I think it is a great idea to take a break from the pressure to do a Sunday video, enjoy your vacation from the job, do family summer activities and take more relaxation time! You need that like most of us do! Will watch for you on Wednesdays and enjoy it when you can be here. Thank you! ❤

After I watched your Patreon videos I really saw the hours of work that go into these videos. I also get that life is ever changing so what you have been doing will change & evolve. Thanks for your commitment to Silver & Solo. I love the content & you are so down to earth which is so refreshing. 😊

    I'm an older solo, too. One of the things I've recently taken up is painting. I'm terrible at it but it's meditative and not having the pressure of thinking I have to make something that pleases other people is very pleasant. That said, I'm going to try doing a real portrait. On the off-chance that I get a recognizable likeness, would you be comfortable with it if I tried painting a portrait of you? Entirely ok to say no. I just feel like you own your face and you should have a say if someone uses your image so I don't feel comfortable going ahead without asking.

    Hi Jen, I'm no youtuber but from what I've heard it can be hard to come back from a break - the 'algorithm' makes it hard. What I suggest is that you outsource the editing for your Sunday walking videos. Should be easy to find someone as it's a common thing it seems, I even see people offering their services in the comments section of some CZcams videos.

    • @silverandsolo

    I hope you're doing well. I came across your CZcams channel, and I was impressed by the valuable content you share with your audience. However, I believe that improving your thumbnails could significantly enhance the overall presentation of your videos.
    As someone with three years of experience in thumbnail design, I believe I can help elevate your channel's visual appeal.
    Let me know if you'd like to discuss this further and explore how we can better enhance your thumbnails to represent your content.
    Best Regards,
