Hey Carol so glad you’re back! Also just wanted to give you a little tip regarding the “reading like…” videos, you could read two books a month from a group of 4 and then post a video about them when you’re done that way it’s not too much (not every single month but just when you want to do a video like that). Also you could make it so that you have those videos filmed but you don’t post them every week just every now and then. That way you’re reading books you enjoy but also having different types of content

[@Caroltreads]

omg that’s so smart!!! thank you so so much for this wonderful idea!!! 🤩💖

I am sorry to hear about Gabby. My dog Josie passed away in July, she was 12, she developed dementia in March had two strokes and recovered, but then she had a seizure which led to her third stroke and she couldn't recover from it so I had to put her down. It really breaks the heart and soul. However, we already had three more dogs, my parents two dogs and then my little Kalliope. It helps to have another furry friend to ease the loss. I can never replace her, but I can never live without a furry friend. You do you. Do as many or as little in the way of videos, as long as it suits you because it is your channel. Also, make content you feel comfortable making being back and then go from there.

[@Caroltreads]

thank you so much for sharing your story. I am so so sorry for your loss. I just know Josie and Gabi are playing together in heaven! 🥰 thank you for your kind words too! means a lot to me!

[@Lorie336]

@@Caroltreads You're welcome and thank you for your kind words. Grief is hard and it takes a lot of time to process it, we never completely heal, but we turn it into giving out more love. They're definitely running around up there. I have a few cats and dogs chasing each other and I believe both of my grandparents are babysitting them...lol. 😊❤️❤️❤️

[@KirstensKorner]

Carol 😍😍😍 I’ve missed your face 😭😭

carol, my favourite content creator!! eeeeeee!!! first, I want to say condolences. thank you for talking about her, she will live through your videos, stories you share with us, and the love you continue to have for her!! I love how you acknowledge that breaks can be healing. It's true- what you said, how the longer you wait, the scarier it is to come back. that line hit me because I avoid a lot because of anxiety and you coming back encourages me to show up for the things I want to do in my life!! you will always be my inspiration, carol!! eeeeee!! I love the name Theo!! new family members are welcome in this channel for sure!! I'm even welcoming the possibility of you being pregnant like you mentioned ahahahah do whatever the hell you want with this channel!! I want to know You. this can be your creative outlet!! no need to feel pressure on creating content for what pleases people because this is your channel, your "rules"!! the content you make have always given me a message because of the stories you interpret and you considering wise words!! continue making content that fulfills you, be your own validation and the rest of the people will be a bonus!! but since you asked for video ideas, I shall suggest but please make sure that you don't choose whatever feels like a chore!! okay okay, video ideas: - quotes that hit you (can be your own theme like "favourite quotes from sad books / romance novels / from the thriller genre") - day in the life in Portugal - living like my fave main character for a day
