Where Have I Been Lately ?? Welcome to My Desert Life In Between!

Oh hi! I've missed you. I'm excited to bring into the in between my wild life out here in the desert. I would ghost you guys last year because of what I like to call my "in between". A lot of life and a ton of progress on the biggest DIY of them all - myself…I did not show, I did not explain or become consistent again. To get different results, you need to put in an equal, greater or NEW action and that’s what I'm trying to do here. This year is already one of my favorites and I truly think it is because I am going to be and share my full self (who I am so down proud of btw).

Allow me to bring you into the biggest DIY of all - becoming the woman of my dreams. The "in between" is what is making me the woman I am so proud to be becoming. I'm excited to bring you into my life + pack when a project goes wrong so you can see how I maneuver through DIY'ing this corner of the desert xx.

While lilies are well-known as a serious danger to cats, certain varieties are highly toxic to dogs as well. The peace lily, calla lily, amaryllis, lily of the valley, autumn crocus and the common houseplant, giant Dracaena or palm lily, are all deemed dangerous to dogs by the ASPCA.

[@lydiacongdon8135]

Once again, you've inspired me and blessed my day. I have a long list of creators on KZbin who I adore, but a short list of ones who I will drop almost anything/everything to soak in as much of their content as possible. You're at the top of that short list - and yes, it has a lot to do with your content, but your growth, honesty, and personality are the strongest force.

Well that's very cool to see... the pink flowers are called Geraldton Wax and are from/native to my home town, Geraldton Western Australia. They are a very hardy shrub and tolerant to extremely dry climates 😉

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Oh thanks for this!

[@Immortalcowgirl]

I like where this going. We're all a work in progress, and I appreciate your candor regarding your process. One of the reasons why I like your channel so much is just because I really miss Joshua tree. When my son was little we used to sneak out there from Carlsbad really often, and I just love driving around and seeing all the houses and then camping and spending time in the park. I wanted to move there but there's just no good schools. But now we live in Florida so, I'm living vicariously through you. Lol. No matter what I'll keep watching your videos cuz I'm a fan, but I would love to see some Joshua Tree, night sky, local folks, desert garden, other local DIY houses, scenes from the coffee shop, or that places like the shop across from the visitor center that have some vibe. I know it's kind of an odd community of a bunch of crazy introverts there, but I'm glad you're going to start including more community stuff. Even if you just posted thrifting, or what you're doing around town. Thanks again for all the great content and sharing your life.

Ooh Mama Metz, you always come to mind every so often when I feel like I need a reminder of how ‘failing’ forward looks like. So so beautiful. To me, I don’t see your inconsistency on yt as failure; I just think “oh she’s living life.” Your authenticity is what keeps people around and I genuinely feel like you’ve only been growing and flourishing HUMBLY. Maybe to the point you had only seen only a pinch of your awesomeness and have come to realise how much power you really have on your ever changing journey. For that I only wish you the best and the most fun and happy moments in life with all your loved ones because you’ve helped me, and I’m sure many others, realise our own dreams.🤍✨
