So sad I missed your IG live!! When I was in my early 20s after a night out, I would call my friends at like 2am after a few (many lol) drinks and tell them how much I love them! Lol! I still do it to this day at a normal hour and sober lol but it’s good to tell people how you feel! Love your sentimental series ❤

Dani, I love this so much!😂 I have also been known to do that- the time and state of being has also changed a bit over the years! Lol! Tell your people you love them! I’m so glad you like it. I’ve got some troubleshooting to do and then it will be ready to be shared! And, don’t worry. There will be more lives! I really enjoyed it! Was super nervous for the first half and then eased into it. It’s good to do new things! I appreciate you so much!❤️

Your video inspired me to take another look at affirmations that she listed in the book during week 1. I read through them briefly and picked only one that resonated. Now I want to see what I'm saying against each of them, what's hiding under the fact that I didn't resonate with them.

Wow. Amazing redo! Love those 70s greens, though not all of the ones that were made back then. There were two types: the ones that lots of money bought and the ones created for "the masses". It was a real thing! That's where those grayish avocado colors came in. Mostly when I was young I lived where I could not paint, and when I could, there was no money for that. I've always dreamed of a 70s herb green kitchen. Ah, the-sort-of-good old days. Most of us had tons of plants, too. Spent a lot of time watering window length plants in a Victorian twin turned 2 unit apartment that my first child came home to as a newborn.
@AlexisViele
@AlexisViele Ай бұрын
Thank you so much! And, that’s really interesting. I never knew that about the greens, but it makes sense! We saved up for a min to get all the paint- in the middle of a big life transition, but really wanting a new space to grow in and with. Thankfully we could get most of it for less than $40 a gallon. Your Victorian windows sound so dreamy. I dream of more, Big windows. I’d love more space for more plants!😂
