Thank you so much! The cake stand was from an English store on Etsy!

Thank you so much, very kind of you! 💝

Aw, you’re so sweet, thank you so much!! ☺️ 💝

I love all your thoughts and ideas shared here Janice! It’s so true that suffering can be an ironic catapult into wisdom that enhances life’s blessings and joy. And how fascinating that we pick up ideas of “wrongness” just because someone believed it to be true. Glad to hear you are blossoming into your true self and enjoying your gifts! And no doubt spilling over and blessing all those in your life. 💝

Yay! Thank you! Welcome aboard Arabella, so glad you’re here! 💝

Hi! A wholehearted welcome to the fam - so happy to have you here! I love your message - so many wonderful ideas 💡 for self management/care and ways to rejuvenate in this chaotic world. Blessings to you 🩷

Oh yay, I’m so happy to hear! You are very welcome Ana. Glad to have you here!! 🩷

Hi! I hear you Janie, I go for the same things. Emotional eating is real - for sure - but sometimes we also just need fat and protein to supplement the fruit and vegetables. I’ve also learned to have my biggest meal when I’m most hungry, which is lunch! I fought myself on that for years, thinking something was wrong with me!! If I don’t have that meal then I’ll find quick ways to get the calories in. Just sharing from my own experiences hoping it may spark new ways of looking at “gobbling”. 🩷

Thanks

Im so glad! 💝😊

Truth!! Amen 🙏🏻!!

Glad to be back and that the message resonated in ways to consider. 🩷😌

Thanks 😊! Indeed Yes 🙌🏻 and Amen! At the very root of EVERYTHING is this believing to the point of assuredness. Doubt, disbelief and undeserving are 3 top of mind enemies to wholehearted belief.

This is good! I love this Helen! Thank you for sharing a beautiful insight. 🩷

Beautiful!!! 🤩 I love this agreement you’ve made with yourself! 💝

oh yikes, too much reality I identify with

Thank you for sharing Liane! You are not alone in this - we’re all having to figure out how to manage these new advances that put so much right at our fingertips! I do believe it’s why long-form podcasts are the new internet. Grabbing some AirPods and taking that walk while staying connected might be a way to move forward.. 🩷

@@lisaemeterio thanks Lisa...

Hi 🩷 Now that we’re chatting way down the thread, your comments have me thinking about 3 things: 1. How to transition into a whole new way of being when life changes dramatically 2. Developing skills that support fueling our tank properly to feel genuinely motivated 3. Steps to get the engine in gear moving in a forward direction. I need to buy a camera that can support the length of conversation I want to have with my dear friend Dr. Mike, among other brilliant minds. But I would ask you too, bright as you are Liane! Sometimes it’s the questions that resonate most. 🩷

@@lisaemeterio how to motivate yourself when there is no one to applaud your efforts, compliment you when you look nice, share in your goals, no partner to impress or get positive feedback for your efforts. So, at night , you eat something comforting. I know its no excuse, but its my reality.

You didn't fail, you learned. One of the best things about life is when you wake up tomorrow you have a fresh start. Tomorrow wake up loving yourself! ❤

Nita, I’m so sorry to hear this honey. I’m not a therapist so I can’t speak to your situation, but I highly recommend getting professional help. Sometimes we need someone to show us the way, when we can’t see a way out. There is a way. Take care of yourself, you’re worth it. 🩷

Good morning Mary! So good to hear from you Beautiful! Those nasty old voices that live in our head need to bug off! “The Four Agreements” is a wonderful little book that can put those voices in perspective. When we’re young we’re so impressionable and we believe everyone is telling the truth. But divine truth is the truth! There are so many wonderful people in the world who care a lot for each other and humanity and you are one of them! Facts. Have a beautiful day! 💝

Dear Nancy!! I want to be in Your bathroom! I can practically smell the lavender and feel those towels. Love hearing your joy and excitement in creating your beautiful space! You might have the value of “mastery”. It means that whatever you do you want to do it to the highest degree, AND the journey and process is satisfying unto itself! Of course once we master one thing we’re looking for the next thing. And we never fully arrive because there are endless things to learn and master! Just some thoughts. 💝 I’m going to check out the grout steamer. Thank you!! 🙏🏻

@@lisaemeterio oh it’s coming along just fine. You really have to check out the DuPray. It’s very powerful but great for home projects and cars too, endless. Hope you get one. Yes, the caulk came out beautiful and the grout looks so clean as well as the tile and marble. So I’m going to keep at it today, lots of detail cleaning in the bathroom as well. It helps to take pictures of your room as you go along and the view from the lens shows you things that your brain bypassed with personal site. But you really hit the sweet spot with me when I saw your video. When I’m done, I’m going to do the deep dive. I have a son and his girlfriend coming in from out of state. I get the repressed indulgence theory though. It’s expressed in so many little ways until we are completely blocked from getting to the things that make us feel good, and those are usually the constructive components of our personalities. It’s almost as if we unintentionally build a dam that holds back our desires or what we want to get done. I think it’s important to at least allow our curiosities to dip into what we want to do, if not just for a little while to recognize parts of ourselves again.

The house is presently covered in ultra-fine stone dust! That DuPray is looking super helpful - thank you!

I love your intentionality and making the things you enjoy, a priority. I’ve missed you too! 💝

Sounds like you have a great start in knowing yourself and what recharges your battery! I love what you say about enjoying things you love and allowing time to refresh your mind. It’s so true! We’re not an endless well of production. Knowing how to refuel, inspire ourselves and get excited is key. 🔑

Thank you! 😊

Thank you Stephanie! 💝

Thank you Martha! 🩷

Hi Nancy 👋! I’m here! How are you?! We took on a fun (and very disruptive) construction project that is tying up our usual filming days. Today - and this weekend - for instance, the stone masons are reconstructing the pool copping and surround.. but I’m determined to film anyway. One positive is that it’s given me some quality time to consider the direction of our channel moving into year 2!! See you soon!! 🩷

Oh that sounds pretty exciting! Don’t you love the lift you get from Spring to take on all those things you’ve waited so long for? I think a lot of people feel safe now and really happy about their freedom to move about and create expression with their talents. Stone is soooo grounding and having it around you creates an entryway of yourself into the natural elements that have always protected humans from caves to spirituality. Congratulations

Thank you so much! 😊

I’m sorry 😢. You’re not alone! Fear of hosting and choosing gifts, along with a whole host of other fears, is entirely human. 🩷 I’d love to know how you think I could have addressed this topic to help quell your fears.

We do. 👌🏼

Aw thank you! So very true and we count these blessings daily!

💝

Yes, thank you! 😆 was thinking about this over Easter when I was slicing potatoes for gratin and using kitchen gloves! I love visualizing you enjoy your mom’s tea set - thanks for sharing. 💝
