Beloved Beauty Monthly - June 2024

Hello friends, this video is a few days late. It's been crazy in my corner of the world. In this video, we will talk about what we did in May and what we are planning to do in June. There is also a chat feature included :-)
I wanted to share woman to woman, and human to human about the struggle of health and balance :-)
I hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much Cara Renee for sharing. I also struggle with taking care of myself. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and insights. You are a wonderful encouragement. You are a very special person and I appreciate everything you do. Blessings.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

You are so welcome! It brings me joy to know that others relate.

[@corinnepert7433]

I say, "Good for you!" Self care is so important and you have so much to live well for.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Thank you ❤️

[@Spunkymisfitgirl]

"Perfection has no place in the studio"... right? 🙂Lovely video. Thank you for sharing.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Exactly!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@weallhaveanopinion]

I love that saying!

[@eviegorecki5356]

You've accomplished a lot with your channel in just a few years. Balance is an important part of being able to enjoy the journey. Best wishes always ❤.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

It sure is 💛 I e always been a heads down 'get her done girl'. I am grateful for an opportunity again, to refocus ❤️

[@rhondabaumgartner5571]

Thank you for sharing your fights, etc. Much of what you talk about is my struggle, too. I need to take care of my body, mind and health. Love your journal and all you've put into it. 😊

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Thank you Rhonda ❤️ it's just so hard to stick with change over time, expect when stress increases. Best wishes to you in this journey as well.

[@Cherblaze]

Lovely video. Thank you so much for sharing. You really impressed me with the amount of videos you have been posting lately. I should have known you were pushing yourself and not having time to "care" for your physical health. I just thought you were "Super Woman"!! I also say "Good for you". Our health is so important and most of us just don't take the time to notice it until something goes very wrong. So nice to see your pretty face. I feel you have discovered your "track" so now you just have to follow through with your plan. Love and hugs. I have fallen so far behind with your inspiring projects but I still keep watching and hoping to catch up. Graduated from Chemotherapy yesterday after 8 three week cycles. The side effects were terrible. Now I will be on the same three week schedule but with infusions of two inhibitors and my monthly injections. Doctor said I will start feeling much better in a month or so. Hoping to get some energy back to craft and not just watch you. I will send you a private note.Hugs.❤

[@memoryjournalsbyyvon]

I wish you all the best in your recovery 🙏🍀💝, hugs Yvonne from the Netherlands

[@Cherblaze]

@@memoryjournalsbyyvon Thank you so much Yvonne. I will treasure your prayers and hugs.❤

[@BluebonnetJunkJournalCrafting]

Thank you for your vulnerability. You are a treasure. Stress squashes creativity. We all need balance. You are a beautiful woman, inside & out. I totally get it when you say, “I don’t want to be that woman”. You want that joy to radiate. I’ve been there and am still working on my journey to better health. Grace and blessings ❤ ~Shelley

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Cheryl, I was so glad to get your message ❤️ I am praying for you. I definitely feel a bit more re-centered ❤️ thank you beautiful

Gosh, Cara-Renee you just explained exactly where I am at in my life right now to the tee! Even your weight and your height are very close to me and I am 14 years older than you. I hope you can do what you are setting out to do better than I, but I will not give up. I have no addictions in my life but I do lean on that, "bag of chips" when I fell blue, frustrated, unsettled, whatever... My husband of 51 years is a junk eater and is 6 feet tall and 180 lbs., not fair. I also am a healthy eater but there is always junk in our house. My husband does the grocery shopping. 😕 I am starting the same wellness goal today that you are and God help us, I hope and pray for both of us that we can do it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and goals with us because it really helps me, for one and I'm sure tons of others. I can tell that you are an awesome, very giving person and I feel like that is why we are in the shape we are in. We need to put the oxygen mask on ourselves first and seek joy in every way we can, except for food. Good luck, be strong and remember that you are not seeing yourself the way the rest of us see you as the beautiful, loving, caring person that is perfect just the way you are! God bless you!

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Thank you Sally for sharing your story ♥️ It is SOOOO hard! Thankfully, my husband eats healthy so that makes a huge difference. We can do this! I am on my 2nd week of success. Trying to avoid sugar and starches. Lots of fruit and veggies and chicken 😁 I am getting in between 8 and 11k steps Monday- Friday. Summer will be more challenging as I will be on summer break. I am praying my current momentum will serve as motivation to keep at it. I live in the country and have no place to walk. I have to drive into town about miles to walk. I am praying for you ♥️

[@sallydhondt3974]

@@BRebornArtHealing I am praying for you as well! You really motivated me to get going and be serious this time. When, not if, I succeed it will be because of you! I am trying to eat soup or salad for dinner and intermittent fasting and lost 2 pounds so far, not much but certainly better than nothing. Praying for our success!!! 💖

[@etheltaylor3138]

Cara-Renee….I just love you. What a beautiful family. You are such an inspiration in so many, many ways. You are so talented and gifted…. Sweet, kind, loving, giving, compassionate, faithful in who you are in Christ, devoted to family. Not perfect but “you” and that’s what I love. Thank you! Blessings and ❤

[@BRebornArtHealing]

@@etheltaylor3138 thank you so much dear ❤️

[@hunnyprice9824]

oh Cara-Renee thank you for sharing your beautiful family! I do believe that you are starting in the right place with your self care and that is with honesty! I am very proud of you , it is not an easy thing but so worth every step! you are just so inspiring... Happy summer break 😃

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Thank you so much!

[@user-cs1oe9go5m]

Oh my goodness. I’m trying to find the words to express what I’m feeling. I appreciated this video more than you can know for so many reasons. You and I are incredibly similar, from age, weight/health issues, job, grandkids and mindset. I appreciate the incredible gift of honesty you’ve given us. It’s rare and so valuable. You’ve been my favorite creator because your style is exactly what I love, but I can see that it’s so much more than that. I feel fairly certain that we would be friends in “real life”. Please continue to share your personal journey, it will be so helpful to me in mine. You are brave, beautiful and I appreciate you so very much. ❤️

[@BRebornArtHealing]

This brought tears to my eyes my friend. The community we have created is why I do what I do. Thank you for the reminder of the eternal deep value of transparency and vulnerability. I agree, I think we would be good friends in real life too 🥀

[@lorigordon1970]

Good for you. Your message really resonates with me. I am in a similar position with my health. Thank you for sharing. It really helps to know I'm not alone. ❤❤❤

[@BRebornArtHealing]

❤️ hugs my dear ❤️ I will pray for you as I pray for all of us. It's hard to manage it all.

[@jjournaldiva]

Your monthly hit home in so many ways. I have so many things I promise myself I'm going to do....well they aren't done yet. But I guess I just have to keep pushing. My biggest issue is trying to stay focused. A new idea pops into my head and off I go. Derailed again. I also need to work on self care way more. Love the titanic photo. I keep thinking I should do only 3 videos per week too. And it is very difficult for me to comment and be active in fb groups. I rarely even comment on my own group. Be well and take good care of you.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

I really had to give it all to God. My success in all ways comes through Him. I am grateful that his reminders are so gentle. I achieved all my health and activity goals thus last week it feels pretty good 🙂

[@jjournaldiva]

@BRebornArtHealing I am on the right path. And I love that God has our paths mapped out. All we gotta do is believe and have faith.

[@memoryjournalsbyyvon]

Oh Cara-Renee, how brave of you and how wonderful to see your great family 😍, so precious that time together. Like @cherblaze said, you are like a super woman. The last 6 months I heard from a lot of people they feel overwhelmed with life, work, familie and channel, social media. You know I'm as well. Take care, step by step is what helps me, not to much change at once 💖🙏, have a great weekend, love and hugs, Yvonne

[@BRebornArtHealing]

I definitely think this is a shared reality. I have to remind myself to be gentler with myself and others ❤️ I watched your collaboration video ❤️ very good my friend 🙂

[@judyneubert6687]

Cara-Renee, What you said really resonates with me. In January I was very positive and happy but then had a big crash a couple of months later. I am trying to deal with it but you really made me feel like I am not alone in these struggles. Know you are loved and appreciated. Until later, Judy

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Thank you Judy for your kindness. I wonder why so many friends are struggling. I am praying for you as well dear ❤️

[@weallhaveanopinion]

We just got back from Canada yesterday taking my children back after 18 years away. The youngest had never been. My great grandmother was the first generation to go to the same cabins. We moved 14 hours away and we just thought it was to far but my mom and dad are getting older and we wanted to go one last time. It was good but also hard. We dont always get along and it showed😂. My husband is retiring in 2 weeks and we are really trying to drop the weight and get healthier so we can enjoy this new time in our lives. This too is hard...sorry for the long post but we are in such a similar place i feel we could be sisters. Pray for me and to new beginnings!

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Thank you so much for your personal comment. I love that about those who come here. I know families can be tricky 😀 I always love coming home to our simple life. I will be praying for you and your goals as you all enter into this new season ❤️

[@thebrowndragonfly]

Thank you for sharing. It's important because so many struggle with some or all of these issues. It's good to be reminded we are not alone. I've always struggled with self care. When you try to be everything to everyone, you lose yourself in the process. I would never have been able to lose the weight I needed to if it hadn't been for being sick the last couple years. Now I have a completely deflated body that is NOT attractive at all but I don't care. I'm 58 and there's nothing I can do about it. Yet I am still unhealthy. I still struggle with eating healthy. Everything seems to be a constant battle when one thing effects another. But every day is a new start! Prayers for you sister. Congratulations on making good choices for yourself.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

It is such a hard journey. When health assaults us, it is very difficult to keep going. I get off track so often because I get discouraged. I am not giving up ❤️

[@thebrowndragonfly]

​@@BRebornArtHealing one thing I can tell about you, is you are not a quitter. A big thing for me is to not lose weight for a specific event or by a specific date but just to look at the very big picture down the road. I ve lost 100 lbs since 2018. The first 40 took 4 years. 4 years! But it was still a big win for me. The rest of course was from health issues and I take no credit for that. If that hadn't happened, I might have lost another 20 by now? It's just hard. I also always take my measurements. That is better than a scale. Although I do care about the scale. I've kept a log for years of both with all the ups and downs. Anyway, save your chips for one day on the weekend. It won't take long before you eat a lot less of them or find you don't want them at all. Can't wait to hear how you progress! ❤❤❤

[@Kraftingkirstin]

Bless you. You are a blessing and will continue to be regardless of the number of minutes of content. X

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Thank you! 😊

[@rheaa4186]

I got distracted the other day so I'm back now lol. I had to go buy the book for my daughter ha ha and then i went down a rabbit hole looking at Alegria shoes and forgot to finish watching. With you 100% on everything.. I'm fighting some of the same issues myself. Hugs!

I also live in gorgeous Wa. , started my goal of 15 pounds in a year.😊 Easy accomplishment a little over 1# a month. Lol. .02,#.04,#1# the 1st 3 months. Not as I intended. However if I drop less than 15 I have still dropped without shocking my body and health as I previously have. The next year will be a repeat. Thanks for sharing this truth, encouraging others. Prayers up blessings down

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Thank you so much ❤️ prayers avd blessings returned for you. I like your goal 🙂I know that if I can get more active, the weight will follow. I met my goals last week so it is a good start. What part of Washington do you live in?

[@debbieann1994]

Around mt Rainier. Love to do a meet up somewhere.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

I would love that 🙂

@@debbieann1994 thank you 🙂 I will. I will be off work for the summer very soon ♥️ you can email me at [e-mail] but I've also took a screenshot of this conversation to remind me.

[@lotusflowerpassion]

all those thoughts that you hear one thing you can ask is do they belong to you ?? as for the most part they do not even belong to us it is interference and needs to be cleared by going to your heart center and connecting to love gratitude , empathy dear and letting go of those thoughts That are not yours and do not belong to you. as God your higher self would never talk to you that way. also loving yourself just as is when we focus on what you dislike you bring more of that to you. going into the heart and planting your seeds , The body can heal from any thing in an instance dear , When we connect to source. yes life is for having experiences and being our authentic self is yes important . please do not beat yourself up dear .💖 yes it is important to do what you love in joy and love

[@BRebornArtHealing]

I appreciate your thoughts on this.y messages come from real things that happened to me. Real things that were pounded into me. They are the result of trauma. I know they are not true but heart knowledge and head knowledge are very different. I believe we are always in the process of transforming our hearts and minds. Most of the time I do well, some seasons are harder than others. God is my absolute source and He gives me truth every day ❤️

[@lotusflowerpassion]

@@BRebornArtHealing yes God does dear 💖
