Answering Your Questions

Good morning friends and happy Sunday! In today's video I will be answering some of the questions that I have received over the last several months. While showing you some of my time at the lake with Mark's family, I'll be answering questions like "what do you do for your day job", "what upcoming home projects do you have planned", "do you have any insecurities", and several more. I hope that you guys enjoy getting to learn a little bit more about me, and if you have any other questions that you would like for me to answer - just leave a comment down below and I'll be sure to address it in the next Q+A video. Have a great Sunday and I look forward to chatting with you down in the comments. Enjoy!

What a fun vacation! My dear sweet Jessica, Could I love you more? My answer is, Yes..........and Yes. Your transparency while answering the question about insecurities brought me to tears. It takes self assurance and bravery to be brazen and beautiful all at once. Your personality reflects the absence of impediment which affords you the strength to encourage us to live our best life. Last week I was feeling a little out of place with myself. Guess what I did? I went to your channel and auto watched your videos. I didn't want to look at a movie or the news. I wanted to invite something to my spirit that was uncomplicated, authentic an uplifting. You are a blessing. Thank you for sharing your life's journey. I am in for the ride. Keep living your "Well-Lived" wonderful, beautiful life!

Oh wow!!! What an amazing message - I just teared up. Reading your words just takes my breath away really. Your constant support of me is overwhelming….in the very best way and I truly appreciate you. Typically I feel like I know just what to say - but I’m currently speechless…and just so grateful for you! THANK YOU!!! 🥰🥹🥰

[@RobynTaylor-pk9uz]

❤Thank you! Jessica this is my first time seeing your trip's you are a beautiful spiritual sister friend!

[@andiwallace]

I love love love your inspiration for starting your channel and living a life well lived. I bet your Aunt was an amazing woman!

[@jessicapayne]

She was the absolute best and I would do anything to have her back with us. But her spirit lives on for sure!! 🥰

[@ladetwright7856]

[@jessicapayne]

Thank youuu!!!! I’m so happy that you enjoyed it - I appreciate your support more than you know! 🥰

[@teresahalliday3680]

Jessica, you are a treasure. You are very generous in sharing your insecurities and also your joy! I have been with you since the beginning and certainly remember your explanation of your channel with regards to your beloved aunt. I think you are beautiful, especially your contagious smile. But you are right, we all have many things that we are not happy with about ourselves. I thank you for the variety of video topics and enjoy each and every one. Enjoy and relax over the summer. You and Mark are such a wonderful couple.

[@jessicapayne]

Awwwww thank you so much for this Teresa! I know you have been here since the beginning and I am TRULY grateful for your steadfast support. It means everything to me and building this community is what keeps me going. Thank you from the bottom of heart - you’re the best. 🥰😘🥹

[@Queenann06]

Hi Jess this was a fun and interesting video ❤it glad you and Mark had the chance to unwind with family thanks for sharing!!!

[@jessicapayne]

Thanks love!!! We really did have a fun time away and it was having some downtown alone to film these questions/answers for you guys. So glad you enjoyed it!!

[@deborahmcmurtrie3350]

You had me at “I caught my shorts on my ankles!”

[@jessicapayne]

Hahahaha!!! The absolute best moment of the week! 😂

[@Energeticwonders]

I wish i knew how to kayak like that … it looks so relaxing

[@sherryryan4305]

Hi Jessica, I so enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing more of Jessica!! Continual blessings as you come and go with life's happy adventures and endeavors!!😊

[@jessicapayne]

Thank you Sherry!! 🥰 I’m so happy that you enjoyed the video and getting to learn a little more about me. It was nice to be able to take some time to relax and simply have a conversation with you guys this week!

[@TableTalkwTraceyMarie]

Jessica, you are beautiful! I remember the first time I saw you. I thought , “OMG! She is so pretty and her skin and hair are beautiful!” You are right, we ALL have insecurities which should make us empathetic to one another instead of critical or judgmental. I’m so sorry about your aunt. How old was she when she passed? You speak so highly of her it makes me want to know more about who she was… I have some questions. 1. Are you an eighties kid? 2. Do you have children? 3. How do you maintain healthy relationships with your female friends? This is an area I struggle with due to being hurt by a friend a long time ago. Thanks for sharing your life with us. I hope you eventually meet your goal of doing KZbin full time 😊

[@jessicapayne]

Awwww thank you so much - it is so sweet to hear you thought that of me! 🥰 We truly are our toughest critic and it’s important to take a step back from time to time to check ourselves. Sure there are things that I would change about myself - but in the grand scheme of life, those things just don’t matter at all. I have to remind myself of that during times when I do not give myself enough grace!!! Ooooo good questions and I will definitely answer them in an upcoming video. But for now - my Aunt was 65 (I believe) and passed away 2 weeks after she retired. Right after Christmas. It was devastating and I would do anything to have her back, but her spirit absolutely lives on. I can’t wait to hear her say “I’m so proud of you” once we meet again! 🥰 Yes I am an 80s kid - I sound so old when I say it but they really were the best times!! I do not have any children and neither does Mark. We very much prefer loving and spoiling on our nieces and nephews! 😆 The healthy relationship question is soooo good - I think I will answer that one in this weeks video. Thank you for asking such a great question because I know how difficult it is to acquire and maintain healthy relationship into adulthood. So stay tuned!!!! 😘

[@Energeticwonders]

Absolutely love your channel! It would be so cool to meet you at a meetup

[@heather6937]

This makes me miss you so much! I am so happy you are doing so well! 💕 Love these videos and the newsletter, I look forward to them and your motivation for life and design

[@jessicapayne]

Awwww and I miss you!!!! 🥰 I promise the next time I’m in town this fall, we’re gonna get together to catch up.

[@heather6937]

@@jessicapayneyes!

[@40andnatural]

Love your videos! I feel like you are my virtual sister as we have so much in common. Stay blessed. Xx

[@jessicapayne]

Awwwwww I love that!! 🥰 That makes me so happy!!! Thank you so much for watching I really do appreciate the support!

[@ronnierivers2108]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rosanecorrea]

You are so inspiring.

[@jessicapayne]

Awwww thank you for that - I truly appreciate it!!!

[@balloonboutiquelongisland5972]

Omg! I love love your videos! You’ve inspired me to take so many trips!! I would love to chronicle my adventures… where did you learn how to edit? Is there a specific software you use? Camera? Thanks so much for the insight.

[@jessicapayne]

Awwww thank you so much - I'm so happy that you're loving the videos! I learned how to edit by watching KZbin videos (lol!!!!), and then just trial and error. I use iMovie on my computer, but am thinking about upgrading soon. For right now, everything is done on iMovie and it's VERY easy to use. There are lots of great tutorials on how to use it. For capturing my videos, I use my phone (iPhone 15 Max Pro) and my vlogging camera (Canon Powershot G7X Mark III). Feel free to ask any other questions you may have - happy to help!

[@charlottebutler3761]

I'm a sep·tu·a·ge·nar·i·an and I became welled up after listening to your personal struggles. Kudos for being so transparent. I'm a late comer to your blog and immediately fell in love with your content. Yes, Samara Joy is a DYNAMIC jazz vocalist. I'm a contributor to her fan base. Please continue to bring HAPPINESS to your fan base. Mark is a gem!!! Smooches ❤

[@charlottebutler3761]

I'm trying to subscribe to your newsletters on FRIDAY.

[@AntoinetteShopsAlot]

I'm not sure how I came across your channel and this was my 1st video I watched. 😍 Nice and positive video. #NewSubscriber ❤

[@jessicapayne]

Well I’m so happy that you found me - welcome!!!!! Thank you for watching, subscribing and commenting - it really does mean everything to me. I hope that you continue to enjoy the content - there’s lots of fun things coming soon. 😆

[@bloorainz]

I Happy Sunday! This was such a fun video. It is so great getting to know you better. Thank you for being transparent and honest. You are so right about not waiting to do the things you want to do and that’s why I’m a big proponent of not waiting on anyone or anything to have the experiences that I desire. Life is short and we have to enjoy the time we have here while we can.

[@jessicapayne]

Absolutely!!! It’s so important to remember that we do not have infinite time on this earth. Like I said we never know when it’s going to be our last (fill in the blank) so just go out and live your life while you can! So happy that you enjoyed the video - it was nice to kick back and just talk to you guys this week! 😆

[@angeliaF2622]

This was really a nice video. New subscriber here .

[@jessicapayne]

Thank you and welcome to the channel! I am so happy that you found me and are enjoying the content - it means the world to me!!!!

[@SUPWA21]

Jessica, this was such a fun experience…and quite personal…I am really glad you shared this relaxing moment. Sometimes we forget to let life happen…it takes time to live…and that’s every day…giving yourself permission to exhale, put your feet up and fix a cocktail and some s’mores! Thanks again for the thought provoking comments and the advice for self care!

[@jessicapayne]

Thank you Jen - I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Giving ourselves permission to simply live our best lives is key! We often put ourselves last, forgetting that we must pour into ourselves before we can authentically pour into others. Having this time of relaxation is just what was needed! 😆

[@sharonhopkins9982]

Hi Jessica, what a wonderful time, it look so peaceful and enjoying at the lake. My favorite was when Mark took the plunge! Thanks for answering questions, even though if you're a follower and get your newsletter we already knew the answers. I don't know why my second comment didn't show up on last week's vlog butI definitely enjoyed the fashion, food, restaurants in Portland, thank you for taking us there!

[@jessicapayne]

Wasn’t that hilarious?!! It was fun hanging with the kiddos and watching them in the water - but it was amazing seeing Mark out there. And then when he almost lost his shorts was the icing on the cake. It really was a fun time and I’m so happy you enjoyed the video. You’re the best and I truly, from the bottom of my heart appreciate your support!!! 😘🥰

[@markh2200]

I did not see the part where Jessica got on the tube and was pulled by the boat.

[@jessicapayne]

Shhhhhhhhh…..🤣🤣🤣
