Sounds like a great week of reading. I enjoy your reviews.

1 pound is a good start.

Awesome upload! Bravo! Have a nice time. Greetings ~ Milan

I love how passionate you are about reading and sharing your thoughts on the books you explore-it really shines through! Your reviews are so detailed and give such a great sense of what to expect from each story. I’m especially intrigued by The House of Eve and the way it delves into complex social and racial dynamics. Thanks for giving such honest insights, even pointing out when an ending feels rushed. Looking forward to seeing what you read next week! #booktalk

Awesome update, thank you for your inspiring upbeat mood 😊

Loved your answers brilliant doing these tags, and nice to meet you ❤

Amazing. I like it so much. Happiness and Joy to you ! Greetings. ~ Milan

Wonderful. I like it very much. I enjoyed watching. Have a blessed time. Greetings ~ Milan

I thought I read a lot but you leave me in your dust

Love this. I need to get better about reading. I mostly just do what’s in my book club. Now when we talk about what books I will feel more knowledgeable. 😊

Yep. I agree ❤

This is a week of success! You are staying healthy under change and stress ❤

Glad you are making plans, trying to stay positive and moving forward. Very proud of you ❤

This was fun to watch. Btw I watch all your videos my friend, just don't always take the time to comment

Happy late new year

your hair looks amazing! nothing to do with anything but I looks gorgeous. On another note, I really admire your perspective on embracing change and not beating yourself up for the lack of routine. It hits my feels about perspective. Life throws curveballs, and it sounds like you handled this week with a lot of grace. A pound lost is a win, and your progress with water intake and exercise is building healthy habits. Here's to building those habits back stronger in week two

Great job. Tracking will soon become a habit

Great job 👏

I think you did great! Congrats on your loss. Keep going!! Just subscribed so I look forward to seeing more of your journey. All the best!

This isn't old fashion butter candy anyway....the old fashion kind is cooked on the stovetop...no powdered sugar.....

congrats MF, tfs xo

Amazing vlog. I like it very much! Bravo! Happiness and joy to you! Greetings ~ Milan

Well done on setting new plans and habits to carry you forward. Just remembered to factor in selfcare too. The biggest loss / grief need to be be felt and then releaesed as you find you feet once more. You are doing great Mary Fran much love xx oh is there someone who could replace the zip in the coat.?

A good day Mary Fran, you got a lot done. I hope your finances got sorted. I'm also job hunting again as I move into February I hope to have something sorted. Have a blessed weekend ❤

Thank you so much for doing the Tag Mary Fran, I really enjoyed your answers and the memories was lovely. I remember the hats such a beautiful way to acknowledge her and bring a smile to the grandchildren. I love the cookie jar that's a great family memory 😊❤

Hey Joel had to do the EOM count at the restaurant on NYE so we didn’t do much either. We had actually just gotten in bed at midnight. 😂. That was a funny story about your mom’s “urn”. Lol.

Hi MaryFran! Happy New Year! That sounded like a fun tag. I loved your answers.

I absolutely loved the story about your mom’s urn, it had me both smiling and teary-eyed. It’s such a touching and uniquely beautiful way to honor her, especially with the cookie jar connection. Your family’s ability to bring humor and lightness to such moments is inspiring and heartwarming. She must have been such an amazing person. ❤ thank you so much for the lovely shoutout! It really touched my heart, and I’m beyond grateful for your kind words about my videos.

Wow, it sounds like you’ve been through such a rollercoaster of a day. Between the severance issues, 401k chaos, and zipper disasters, I don’t know how you kept it together-but you did, and that’s inspiring. Also, your attitude about taking control of your health and fitness despite everything else going on is so motivating. The "no one is going to do this for you" line really hit me. It’s such a great reminder to just keep showing up for ourselves. Thanks for sharing such a real, unfiltered look at your day. You’re proof that even in the midst of chaos, we can find little wins and keep moving forward. Rooting for you! 🙌

LOL. Cute story about your mom's funeral. Blessings for 2025 my friend.

Oh man what a mess with all this work stuff. You seem very calm thru all this. Those outshine bars are so good. I wish we had an Aldi near me. 😢

Oh my, what a mess with the company changing ownership and moving everything around.

Wonderful. I like it very much. Have a blessed time. Greetings ~ Milan

Always stressful when we are out of work

You should see how much a dry cleaner would charge to put a new zipper in

Hope you find another job that you like soon, Maryfran. I do like routine.

Good for you staying calm through the stress!

Great daily vlog.

the first two months are going to have you questioning how you kept up anything at all while going through a lot of self doubt. So make sure to mourn the loss appropriately. The loss of a job is a loss that can go through all the forms of grief, so cry when needed girl. I admire how you're already building new routines and staying focused on your health and goals. That Body Groove morning routine sounds like such a positive way to start the day! Wishing you all the best as you find your rhythm and the right next opportunity. You’ve got this!

You look pretty Maryfran! 👏 Unemployment 🙁 This is your time to reach for your dreams.❤ Yup, there’s no wrong way to move your body. 👍👏

Wonderful. I like it very much. Have a perfect time. Greetings. ~ Milan

Oh I just noticed that you hit 1K! Woohoo! There's something good to think about! Congratulations 🥳

Hang in there and use the most of this time while you're in the waiting. You'll find something soon. 🥰

Look at you go! 1000 subs!

Good luck with the job search. At an interview, think of it as if you are interviewing them and not them interviewing you. Stay positive, sweetness. Remember that you are awesome.

Keep the faith. Something good is coming your way.

congrats on your 1000 subs.

It's good to keep a schedule because you'll get another job.

Aw, she doesn't know your in the house.

Great tips for setting goals. You are going to do great with your goals this year way to pick goals that are attainable.
