Hi everyone! I'm so grateful to hear that this video has helped many of you. I've been meaning to talk about this topic for a while now, so I'm glad it's well-received. PS - Someone has brought to my attention that the quote, "Your direction is more important than your speed" is by Richard L Evans, not Lucia Litman. My apologies for not crediting the right author! I definitely need to double-check these things because publishers don't give credit to the right authors anymore. Anyway, there you go! So much love to all of you. I'll be sharing my skincare routine next. Super excited!

[@yashumagar2608]

Girl and The Word it’s okay sometimes it happens after all we r human beings. We make mistakes. 😊😇 And yeah eagerly waiting for your next video ❤️ Lots of love from Nepal 🇳🇵

[@eggheadash5113]

No worries:) looking forward to your next videos!

[@sunidhibehera466]

I'm so happy and feel peace watching your video.

[@hijabiprin6ess252]

I loved your recipe

[@margaretmahoney617]

I am 62, but on a Journey for Self-Imrovement. I find your videos calming and relaxing. I was always in a Survival Mode and quite often stressing myself out. Now, I am retired, but from Ny which is fast-paced. I am slowing myself down. There is no need to rush about. Living within the day is a new goal I have set for myself. I recently separated from my Husband, Thank the Good Lord. I am learning to like living by myself and I have a Lab six months old to love. Thank you for your wonderful videos. I always look for you to update one. Bless you my Dear.

[@GirlandTheWord]

Wow, thank you for sharing that with me, Margaret! Your spirit is refreshing.

[@og6920]

Margaret, this is the YOU time in your life. I'm excited for you to have shed the husband and can now concentrate on the life you and your pup (unconditional love!) will enjoy. It's not easy starting over, but it's imperative. And it's wonderful! Anh is learning this lifestyle young (she's ahead of the game!) and I, too, love following her. We are responsible for our own peace and happiness and I work on mine every day. I'm making decisions on where and how to spend the "second half" of my life. Stay on your path and don't look back. Hugs to you!

[@Laravand]

Margaret, you are very inspiring, thank you. I wish you all the best!

[@TravelAngel18]

Separating from your spouse isn't really the right thing to do no matter what. Sometimes marriage is hard because we make the wrong decisions, but separating or divorcing isn't really right. Im not being hateful or passing the wrong kind of judgement on you. I say this because it seems to me that you might be Christian and we are to gently correct each other (Christians) to help each other as Gods word says we should in a loving way which is what im trying to do so don't get wrong idea. Take care.

[@extradela]

@@TravelAngel18 Separating from your spouse IS really the right thing to do IF IT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. Please never ever give any unsolicited advice about marriage, especially when you don´t know the person and also when the person is (apparently) happy about their decision. You are present only in YOUR relationship with YOUR own spouse, so you have no clue about how other people live their relationships and all they go through. I wish you all the best!

“Spend quality time alone!” Me 100% of the time 😭😭😭

[@jesusyourkingdomecome3434]

😯 spend time with Jesus, that's a good start.

[@AndWeHaveRisen]

May I make a suggestion? (Hey, I should take this advice myself.) but-- is it *quality* time spent though? Please don't be offended either, as I said, I'm one to talk (lol :P ) but that's why I thought I should suggest it to you.. maybe you have the same thing happening and don't realise it?

[@angelinafahm]

China-Chérie same, I’m trying to stop being on my phone / technology in general so much

[@AndWeHaveRisen]

@@angelinafahmYeah, exactly! I also even mean, spending that time *truly* loving ourselves and also making ourselves happy too..following our hearts and doing our best, and not beating our selves up in all that time that we *are* at home, for all the things we shouldn't have done or still haven't done yet. We don't deserve to be the ones bringing ourselves down. No one deserves that. You know-that kinda thing too.

[@angelinafahm]

[@michellesunshinestar]

I like to go on "dates" with myself. Like going to the coffee shop. When I was married, my husband wouldn't let me be by myself, except for school. So needless to say, we parted ways - divorced. It's been 18 years. I still think about him though.

[@KatinkaPonders]

I am also a fan of " alone Dates"! My favorite is to have a pick-nick!

[@LizBrousseau]

I date myself to...just me and Stephan...Stephan King...nothing like a nice dinner alone and a good book!

i am going through exam season, this was such a soothing video. i love getting reminders about caring for myself, thank you

[@anamikasharma5358]

Same here

[@SonshineLady7]

As an only child I learned early to amuse myself and now I truly enjoy my solitude. I am comfortable in my own skin and enjoy the time to ponder, relax, or research a thought that comes to mind. Caring for my pets (dogs and now cats) brings such joy and they are such delightful company - they never fail to make me laugh when I need to. Cooking was a bit trickier. My mother didn't like me in the kitchen when she cooked, thus I never learned even the basics of cooking. When I was married, my husband and I ate our dinners out often or cooked very simple foods like grilled cheese, hot dogs, spaghetti, etc. After my divorce I went through a cycle of driving through fast food restaurants for most of my meals (I was also in grad. school at the time.) Then I went through an "order pizza delivery" phase. I finally settled into eating mostly frozen dinners. Once I woke up and realized the negative effect on my health, I transitioned to a quasi-Paleo diet that necessitates some cooking. My go-to meals are eggs prepared various ways. (I know I've had guava jelly in my past - living in FL we have a lot of great tropical fruit.) I've always enjoyed journaling but would just write when I felt like it. I would like to incorporate ending my day by journaling thoughts as you do. Thank you for another thoughtful video.

[@naureenhossain4727]

I relate deeply with the depth of your messages...yet they are conveyed in the most simplistic way possible. Love that about your channel. Cooking is therapeutic for me too even for simple meals such as breakfast, baking or making a snake ! I feel nurtured when I take the time to cook for myself. It's truly an act of self-love and care towards oneself. The last quote "Your direction is more important than your speed." is something I needed to hear. Planning on going back to school for higher education to change my career/life direction...a path more aligned with my heart and authentic self. But at times the duration of the studies discourage me...and I remind myself it's not "how long it takes that matters" (Speed) but what matters is that you're following a path aligned with your heart (Direction). This quote was definitely a msg for me from the universe ! ;)
