Reading, Knitting & Laughing | A Friend Day 🎄❤️✨| VLOGMAS DAY 22

[@JM_Rosebranch]

Your friendship with Erica and Serynna is so inspiring! It is so hard to make friends as adults and the fact that you said they are new friends and you three mesh so very well together is just magical Also, that message ❤️🥲 "I'd rather let love in and live life with the risk of getting hurt, than to be safe with a closed heart." Gosh...that was pure poetry ❤

[@LittleRavenInk]

The cape of sisterhood … truly magical.

[@ignorantblisssss]

That message from Sophia was so needed. I struggled with fertility issues while everyone around me was able to have the babies I so much wished I could have. I was finally able to get pregnant and gave birth to my first baby in my mid-30s. Sending love and comfort to everyone else who has felt the same longings and struggles

[@kreativekatevlog]

Same..... my heart goes out to anyone who is experiencing fertility issues. I was one of the lucky ones whose ivf journey ended positively, but I know the hurt and the heartache of watching all those around you having children. I send love and strength to your caller Morgan. I hope that somehow she is able to open her heart and find peace and joy in other ways ❤

[@samanthakeyser7557]

I just got done telling my sister how I'm having such a "Morgan Long Day". I am wearing my "oh wondrous you" sweatshirt, just finished making your cabbage/noodle/tahini recipe for dinner and have a cup of peppermint tea to watch this vlog!

[@landonthings]

That’s the gold standard for a “Mo day” these days, merry Christmas!!!

[@ilibertyi]

Get down off of that wall, for crying out loud!!! You scared the BEEP out of me!!! LOL

[@DanitaReynolds]

It’s ok, it’s not as scary as it shows in the video. There’s no drop off. The ground is right there. I’ve been there.

[@ilibertyi]

@@DanitaReynolds Thank you!!!! I feel better. (But she did scare me lol).

[@teachererica4346]

Sophia, thank you for your message at the end. I faced the reality of infertility a few years ago and, though it gets somewhat easier with time, this time of year is always a bit more painful. I just want you to know you are not alone. I promise I'll be brave with you, okay? We can get through this. Thank you so much, Morgan, for all of the comfort you've given me this season as well. Love to All. ❤

[@Missylou_art]

How special to be cared for and nurtured in such a lovely way by friends. What a treasure.

[@spinstercatlady]

Erica and Serynna have such a good, calming energy about them - always enjoy when they make an appearance in your vlogs!

[@candacenagle505]

It was so sweet to watch you be nurtured by your friends. As I have grown older (70 years) my friendships have become more and more precious. I treasure my friends. We nurture each other and we share such a long history now that we have become 'home' for each other. I hope you, too, may find this kind of long lasting friendship in your life, Morgan. It looks to me, as I watch this video, that you are well on your way to it! And thank you for all of the ways you nurture this community!

[@YourFriendAyana]

Would love to know what it feels like to have that kind of sisterhood. My birthday is tomorrow, and I’m feeling pretty isolated and missing having close relationships with people who value me for exactly who I am. Sending you all love and hope that you are finding moments to treasure.

[@TheBeatlesToday]

You mentioned a few vlogs ago that Erica and Serynna are relatively new friends of yours. I was wondering if, in a future video, you could talk about how you met them, and generally how you’ve been able to make friends after moving across the country after college. I’ve lived in the same city my whole life, but many of my friends have moved away over the years, and I’ve been thinking about some ways I can make new friends!

[@ireneschoonwinkel]

Hi Mo Firstly, I want to thank you for sharing Sophia's message. We've recently lost my grandfather to cancer - he passed away on the 12th of December. He was such a wonderful, joyful, bright, and funny person who played a very important role in my life. He always encouraged me to read, be creative, and just be me and our Chrismas time with our family has been really hard. Listening to Sophia's message brought me to tears. Sophia, thank you for being so brave and sharing your message with us. My heart breaks for you, and I am so so sorry about your dream not being able to become a reality. I don't know you, but I'm sending you so much love and hugs. I will try to be strong with you. Thank you again. Ps. Morgan, I just wanted to say I love your friends! They're so beautiful, and I'm glad you guys can bring joy and love into each other's lives. Lots of love.

[@valumen]

I am sorry for your recent loss and thankful with you for all the wonderful things/qualities your grandfather brought into your life. Take your time to grieve and cherish his life. Lots of love!❤️

[@ireneschoonwinkel]

Thank you so much ​@valumen for your thoughtful word. It is really nice of you and I appreciate it a lot. I will try and focus on the wonderful memories we have of him and cherish it always.

[@Laura-bp8qd]

Looking at you 3 at the coffee shop…reading, knitting… oh wow! I should take the time to enjoy a moment like this for myself! So glad that Erica and Serynna found each other, and you 🤩

[@crystallopez8362]

Your friends are so wonderful! These last few years I made an intentional choice to nurture my friendships, it's so worth it. Also, Sophia sending you love and light and hope.

[@suzanneparvey4346]

Loved this girls day video with Erica and Serena and cute Effie. I love your beautiful cape Morgan and it looks even more gorgeous with the hand knitted pink ties. How lovely and special. I love Erica and Serena's Christmas mug collection and fun popcorn bowls. I teared up listening to Sophia's message and if she is seeing this I am sending her a big cyber hug! 💜

[@Kami.71]

Such a lovely video! I’m happy for you to have these wonderful friends! I was wondering, perhaps you could tell a story how you met? And thank you so much again for doing vlogmas 🎄✨🥰🤗 I love your videos

[@berlinmiller4617]

I SO look forward to your videos!!!❤️🎄💕☕

[@julesm9081]

Me too, always!

[@Charlotte-ud2to]

Ohh I felt a bit giddy hearing Sophia as I also come from the Netherlands! Lieve Sophia, wat ben je ontzettend sterk door je hart in deze moeilijke tid zo bewust open te houden! Hoewel onze verhalen verschillen, herken ik me in jouw verhaal. Wanneer iets moeilijk wordt, trek ik in mijzelf. Omdat dat veilig voelt. Geen confrontatie of per ongeluk misplaatste opmerkingen. De laatste tijd probeer ik me meer open te stellen. Ik kom naast waar ik bang voor ben ook zoveel liefde tegen. Ik hoop dat jij dit ook mag ervaren. Ik zend heel veel knuffels en liefde naar je toe ❤️.

[@landonthings]

Merry Christmas Eve, my Love!!!

[@eliselook]

we can absolutely feel the love and genuineness of your friendship with these wonderful ladies ❤💚❤💚 and I will be brave with Sophia in this upcoming New Year.

[@fionahowellwrites5302]

Love your cape! Makes me want to knit one. I'm also ALWAYS cold. I've been called a vampire a lot. LOL

[@ShirleyJalal]

Hi Morgan, thank you for this beautiful video of a day with your friends! Erika & Serena are rare gems in this world! They are so talented! The message at the end was so beautiful. I also have lost people through out my life and it is so sad.

[@rileytristandesign8478]

Sophia thank you for sharing your message and thank you Morgan for choosing it. I dealt with infertility and my husband and I were never able to have a child. It can still be very difficult but now at 45 I've come to peace with it and enjoy my time with my husband. There will always be a bit of a hole of sadness but it does get better and I'm really able to enjoy all of my friends children now and my life without one of my own. My heart and thoughts go out to you and I know you will find happiness and peace in whatever form that takes. XO

[@kristybeck3494]

OH SO FUN!! I want friends like them! And I want to learn to knit!!! Love the cape 💕

[@hannahm153]

Erica and Serynna are such a delight! I love when they make appearances in your vlogs. They both have such a kind, generous, calming presence!

[@O8CanddyCaroll]

I love love love crocheting (and learn knitting ) this is therapy for my adhd ..

[@hazelgator6548]

Haha I'm glad to see in the comments that the ledge you and your friends sat on didnt have a drop off. Everything in me recoiled and it gave me such an unpleasant thought of a life without Morgan Long in it. I've never met you but you are truly a friend. ❤ And what lovely friends you have to spontaneously decide to have a sleepover and enjoy each other so wholesomely. Your life is so sweetly blessed my friend. These vlogmas videos are going to be such a treat for you to look back on next year. Wishing you all the more light and love, oh wondrous you! ❤

[@ela-xr2he]

That lookout you visited has an incredible wildflower bloom in the spring! If you haven’t seen it before, you really should.

[@Thecottagebookworm]

What a beautiful vlog, wonderful caring friendships and ties into Sophia’s message about opening your heart. I am writing this Christmas morning, 5 years without my Dad and 4 without my Mum, no siblings, no partner and this is a very long, hard journey. Up until this last summer I didn’t feel love and I think that can take many forms. I was scared to open myself because I knew it would bring feelings of loss. I did it anyway and whilst I still have bad days I sometimes feel my heart bursting open. I send you all love for whatever you are going through, know you are loved, unique and the world needs you here on this planet to share yourself with others. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎅🏻🎄🎄

[@mylittlecuri]

To me this is the best xmas vlog of 2023 until now. You can’t have better kindred spirits. 😊❤

[@vanessadiazmiralles5555]

What a wonderful video Morgan, Erica and Serena are such lovely friends. Everytime they appear in your videos I want them to adopt me❤. I loved Sophia’s words, I needed to hear her brave and beautiful reflection. I wish her peace and happiness. Thanks for this amazing space, Morgan❤

[@myfinevoice5158]

There is something so magical to see someone doing something for other people just because they can and out of kindness, which making that thing they helping with, from special to EXTRA special. Love the ✨friendship touch✨ of that winter cape.

[@Catherine.B.]

Such a special message at the end from Sophia, thank you for sharing 🥹🤍 Morgan, I loved watching your time with your friends, it made me so happy and so many moments made me laugh. “Just to be clear, we’re talking about cookies” and the ornament at the beginning, so funny. I needed those laughs!❤️💚

That lookout is scary!! It made me a tiny bit ill. You be careful now! Such a fun video with your friends.

Your friend day videos are always so much fun! I am so envious of your time together. Such a great group and you love all the same things I do! I need to find a group of friends to hang out and read or draw with in a cafe. I love that idea soooo much! Thank you for inviting us all along on your fun day. ❤️😊❤️ Also, was the overlook you went to at Crown Point? I love that spot! The view is amazing!! ❤️😍❤️

[@Charlotte-ud2to]

What a wonderful thing to have friends you can feel so at home with! And how special to own a piece of clothing that your friends put their love and work in! I'm very blessed with creative friends. I absolutely love to hoard the things they make and display them in my house. They seem to be radiating and filling my house with love. ❤️

Hello Morgan, I really have an obsession for the color red myself that you always look adorable in red and also the children's book I read was The Polar Express had worn a necklace with a bit of my mom's ashes when I was reading it and also going to read twas the night before tonight and hugs to you and a blessing Yule to you.

Those clouds you captured with Erica and Serena were stunning. I also finally felt brave enough to call your number and leave a massage, I was so timid sorry but wanted to break out of my shell and say hi, you're such a lovely person that just deserves the best of the best. Myself and my family wish nothing but the best for you

[@jillychandler]

My goodness me, it made me so scared, seeing your lovely friend perched on the edge of that drop! Then your other friend did the same! So good to see you so happy with your new wonderful friends. Morgan, you look lovely with the plait around your head, you look very Swedish I feel, do you have Swedish blood in you, as you are so beautiful, and you have such blond hair and beautiful blue eyes? As for the lovely viewer who left the heart felt message, as the saying goes - it is better to have love and lost, than never to have loved at all - and I hope that she can find true happiness in her life again. Blessings and love to you and Landon and the beautiful Roo, love and warm hugs, from Jilly & Madge the black rescue greyhound, from a very wet and windy West Devon, England. xxx

Hi Morgan… I hope this reaches you. I left a voicemail a bit ago, and was really nervous to do so, so I went and hid in the laundry room, and hung up abruptly when my husband went looking for me.

[@awildbecoming]

After 7 years of “unexplained infertility” Sophia’s message really hit home. I can certainly empathise with the pain and confusion of this journey and my heart goes out to anyone else who is or has been brought to tears and despair each month around this. Know that love is trying to find so many ways to reach you and my hope is that you can focus on opening and receiving from all directions as you move through these challenging times. I wish you a peaceful mind and heart, and all the love you deserve, no matter whether or not a baby arrives ❤

[@janicehalsey5511]

Morgan I had no idea you grew up in Virginia! I’m in Southwest VA, aka the Appalachians. I sound like a real hillbilly when I talk lol but I have learned to embrace it and I have grown proud of it. I have really enjoyed your vlogmas this year! I lost my father nearly 3 years ago and I have suffered from anxiety, panic attacks, and depression in general. I try so hard to be thankful and present for the family that are still here, it is just so hard!

[@biancahertog-vromen1924]

Loved this video (as all of your videos) and I’m so happy you have such nice and caring friends. The message at the end touched me as I too have lost many friends and family members in the past years and my husband and I also do not have children due to infertility so I can totally relate to Sophia. Merry Christmas to you, Landon and monsieur RoO and lots of love from The Netherlands 🇳🇱, Bianca 😘
