I just discovered you. Where have you been hiding! I guess I am the student that was waiting for the teacher to appear. Loving all that I get from watching and listening. I have a question about your kitty. By chance does he/she have fhv? I had to stop the video when I saw your one eyed black kitty....it was like my fhv kitty was looking in her mirror. She had to have an eye removed when she was only 2 months old because it never developed, was causing pain and perpetual nasal discharge and infection. She'll always have fhv theres no cure and she has good and bad days and she is tiny for her age. I rescued her as a feral who is my love bug. Just thought if your kitty has same you may give me some helpful tips like you are giving encouraging creative advice. Blessings. You have a new subscriber and am purchasing your guide. ❤🐱

[@samanthacboyer]

​@@jacquelineireland2273Ah, I'd love tips! They were both rescues and they had removed her eye before we got her. We took her back to the same vet who did the surgery, but I don't remember her mentioning fhv. I'll definitely look into it though! She's also a little love bug 🥰🖤 Also, I hope you love the Guide! Thanks for your purchase and support 🖤

[@tehMimzy]

@@samanthacboyer Yes, thank you!!

[@AntaresSelket]

Wonderful story! Hopefully you make a children's book out of it, because reaching people at a young age with a message like this really can transform their thinking.

[@samanthacboyer]

Thank you! Storybooks are in the works. I'm not going a traditional route, but I'm hoping you'll like them even more 🥰

"Dim light can be hard to see in bright places."💟 Inspiring story, creative writing, good cinematography, wonderful paintings💫 really this was an amazing video💓 ✨

[@samanthacboyer]

Yeah, you know emotional support animals? It's more like I'm her emotional support human 🤭

[@kathleen4811]

Your story is amazing and told with such passion. I see a book with your imaginative illustrations. I would be the first to buy it. But then that would miss your lilting story-telling voice. Either way this is amazing for children as well as adults who need to relook at the world.

[@samanthacboyer]

Ah, thank you! I do have a little storybook waitlist. It's on my 'one day' bucket list 🖤

[@shad0wdream]

This is absolutely beautiful. I'm in one of those start over phases in life and it's always so hard to not feel like it's failure. The past few years have been a huge struggle. I found this and your "soul sucking art advice" video today and it just made my heart lighter. Thank you for that, it was so very much needed.

[@samanthacboyer]

Ah, so glad you found your way here! Thank you for your sweet comment 🖤 Wishing you light and fairy magic!

[@DC-cd5tv]

"Dim lights can be hard to see in bright places." That is BRILLIANT (no pun intended). I needed this video at exactly this time. I love your new shop availability arrangement; such a smart idea. And what a wonderful story. You are a gifted artist on so many levels. Not to mention you are a natural comedian.

[@samanthacboyer]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad it was helpful - I make my videos as reminders for myself of what I'm learning and it's so encouraging to hear they're reaching someone other than future me. 🖤 Thanks for watching!

[@suzannequereau7940]

I was just thinking the same thing, these are wonderful storybooks for children. The lesson is priceless..I have 10 grandchildren and I would love a series of books for them with quality messages..I just found your channel, what a wonderful and gentle soul you are!!

[@samanthacboyer]

Ah, thank you! I'm working on a version of storybooks that I'm excited to announce in next month's video! 🖤 I tried to find a way to make them enjoyable for adults and children - I hope you like them 🖤 - So happy you're here!

[@mikaylaosgood4804]

You are a genius. Combining storytelling and art like I’ve never seen before! It was truly beautiful to admire your gifts. You also made me cry, which isn’t hard to do but your words meant a lot being an artist and a human. Thank you.

[@EveryFurtherMile]

Love! I would LOVE to see these pictures and stories put into a book (like the old nursery rhyme books, but a collection of your stores instead). And although I absolutely think you're videos are perfect, I can imagine these stories turned into beautiful and artful short cartoons. Like Shorts on Disney+. But honestly happy to just hear it here.

[@samanthacboyer]

@@EveryFurtherMile Ah, thank you! Those are actually both goals I'm hoping for one day. Working on a version of the storybooks right now and the cartoons are on that 'maybe one day' list! 🤭🖤

What a great story! Thanks for the painting, too. I’m learning to paint sea and clouds, and find it rather a challenge.

Thank you! You definitely touched a part in me that I've been trying to ignore, as I am in tears. 😢 I've had my world as an artist head in a different direction as well as losing fellow art friends who do not understand.

Hellooo! 👋🖤 I *finally* twirled by, hit play and stared and listened to your video. I absolutely LOVED it!! 🥰 It's one of my favorites things when you share the story and you suddenly throw in a different direction and tone, haha! It's amazing to see how much detail you add into your videos, from the camera angles to the choice of music and how it fits the scene/story. Truly magical! I resonate a lot with your story and I'm like Drop, ready to leap again. Also, I'm all for wearing a blanket and pretending to be Snape billowing through corridors, hehe! 🖤✨

[@Aja_risingsoul]

Wonderful for sure,but how do you feed yourself and pay bills when you open your shop just once in a while?i would like to hear this,because we all think,in our generation,we stuck in those situations,but how to earn money for food and rent…just how?Mostly it’s the Husbands who earn the money.the woman who can live their life like that are mostly married.But what if you are single mom and alone…?it frustrates me…

[@samanthacboyer]

I could do a whole series on these topics! I'm in my third year of whatever you call this career and just now learning how to really 'monetize'. I did a lot of side jobs and commissions at the start for income. As far as the shop goes - I haven't seen a negative change in the new schedule, actually! Since art is in the 'luxury' genre, rather than a commodity, the collectors are happy to visit the shop whenever it becomes available, if that makes sense? I'm lucky to have such a loving and supportive community (and I do have a very supportive husband, like you mentioned). Sending you light and fairy magic - I hope your situation improves soon! 🖤🖤
