I am sorry for your loss. I can’t ever stay on topic. I need a off camera script to keep me in line 😂

Happy early birthday, Laura! I hope it will be wonderful! I look forward to the extra long video this week if you do it! You're my comfort channel so always enjoy more to watch 😊 Love rambles too Thanks for feeling comfortable talking about whats on your mind, I hope it isn't being too hard on you 💜

Best word vomit ever. 🥰

I’m right with you. I am 52 and I soooo long for Christmas past. My mom had five brothers and sisters and my dad five so huge family. Grandparents passed family moved away and now it’s just my parents and our family. I do have four grand babies 10-3 yrs and Christmas is so fun again! I stay awake all night too if I don’t get a square finished 🤣 it is your channel and you talk about anything heavy on your mind and we will be an ear to listen ❤

Pro tip #1. Short weeks are always the longest because you have fewer days to get the regular workload done.

Oh hey we are the same age! I just turned 34 in August. Christmas is definitely an odd season for me. I struggle to find my Christmas joy and it's been that way since the magic of Santa left. I try to be excited for my kids...but my Stepsons are older now (12 and 9) and my daughter doesn't quite understand it yet (she's only 2). I'm hoping as Sydney gets older, I will find some joy in the holiday again.

Ramble on Laura. I live listening to you talk. And i always look forward to watching/listening to your videos. There isn't a topic that would persuade me otherwise. My stash looks like i did start in 2017, i wish. However, everytime i have to organize my canvases it brings joy to me. Looking forward to your destashing. Maybe prerecord it, then stay live while it is running, to get details if you is interested in which one. Just like many content creators do during their Christmas premiere. Which Jean's channel were you mentioning? Happy Birthday!

Hitting pause. Embrace your feelings. I’m 54 almost 55 on December 25. I never wanted kids. I was an adventurer in my younger years. My partner now of 7 years has 2 boys. So, my extended family has kids. And I love them. We all have different wants and needs. Ps. My partner and I met when we were 12!years , but we went very separate ways. I went gig work and South America. We are both American, however he is an immigrant from Ireland. Life is complex and beautiful. 🥰

All the best for your birthday. 🎉🥳 I hope you have a wonderful day and tell us about it if you want, of course. I'm sorry for your loss and I hug you tightly. I strongly believe that you will have many beautiful moments as a parent and there will be a right time for everything. 🙏💙 I'm 31 years old and sometimes I wonder if we will finally become parents, but when I feel sad moments like this, I try to think positively and know that the best is yet to come. As for Advent calendars, I really like the chocolate ones, but this year I will buy one with cosmetics from Balea. The book Avent calendar sounds epic, but I don't have enough space on my shelves and they're already bending under their weight, so I won't take the risk. 😅 I can't wait for December and your daily videos, your voice is relaxing to me and you always have interesting topics and stories so I can listen to you for hours. Thank you for this wip and chat. As for that painting you bought and can't wait to see it, I think I know which one you mean because I really wanted it, but in the end I didn't decide to buy it because I'm waiting for Black Friday.

I was wondering about your pregnancies since I started listening regularly after all of that happened. Thanks for saying something about it again, Laura. It was strange for it to just be a mystery you alluded to even though I understood you needed to avoid the pain of recollecting.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

I worry about talking about it too much for a few reasons. 1. I don’t want it to be triggering for others with similar experiences. 2. I don’t want people to think I bring it up for attention. Which is crazy to say, but I’ve heard people with similar experiences be accused of it. 3. It just makes me sad, and I try to keep my channel some what up beat and positive.

[@sylviakanel9766]

This all makes total sense, Laura. Thanks for taking the time to explain so thoroughly and for being willing to do so. I am so sorry for your losses.🫂 ​@@diamondpaintingsbylaura
