Life As I Write
США
Добавлен 12 фев 2022
Welcome 🤗 I am a writer and professional home organizer. This is a channel where I will share information about my writing processes and routines, the content in my books, and things that I learn about that I think will be helpful to others.
I have a guidebook series coming out this summer, about How To Have Good Vibes In Your Home. So for the next couple of years, my content will center around decluttering, organizing, cleaning hacks, plants, Feng Shui, wellness, and decorating your home 🙌 I've worked with clients in hundreds of homes, and have a lot of knowledge and expertise on these subjects 😊 I hope to be a motivator for you and to join you remotely as you beautify and take care of your home!
The ocean is my first love, and a place where I have spent a lot of time. Therefore, it only seems right that my first published book will be a cute and magical children's picture book on water safety, which will be released on May 30, 2022.

Write/Work with Me Video with Pomodoro Timer (Bloopers at the end)
Hi Guys! I put out a community post that I've been in Japan for some personal matters, and I've also been writing, editing, and finalizing the rough draft of the decluttering book. While I write, I sometimes watch 'write with me' videos, or 'work with me' videos to feel like I have company while I'm working.
I've been wanting to make my own, so here's my first attempt. If you like it, I can make more videos like this; please just let me know in the comments, or hit the like button. I'm not great with choosing music that the populace would like, so I chose music that I would like to work to. We'll work for 25 minutes, take a 5 minute break, work for 25 minutes again, then take a 5 minute b...

Ten Tips For A Productive & Organized Desk
How much did it cost in total?
I love how you're sharing your life as you write with us. You're helping others keep checks on daily life.
Saturation point .
Good video.
It doesn't bother me. I like having the books around. I read them when i read them.
I had the Louise Hay book.
Thank you for this good video.
My health has been deteriorating rapidly over the last 5.5 years since I moved into this house. I had an opportunity to go someplace else for a week 5 months ago, and like you, I was feeling not so good but made myself go. All of my symptoms went away literally after the second day away. Fast forward 5 months and I have to get sinus surgery. My ENT's anesthesiologist said I might have sick building syndrome.
Thanks and Blessings..💥🙏
excellent but video not getting much more attention from the audience. This could be due to an SEO issue, resulting in low views and subscribers.
Great, great video!
"Visual noise" . I like that
What about people that make you feel bad by being around them.
Open threads waiting to be tied up 😊.
Thanks for sharing your cozy, breezy apartment.
Looks amazingly peaceful Mika. Love this ❤ hope you’re doing well.
What a lovely place to write!
Hi Mika, I just found your video after signing up for my first NaNoWrimo. Thank you for making this- I've posted it in my facebook group as an introduction to my clients of the transformative journey of personal writing. I wonder if you are participating again this year, and if you are doing any live writing events, as you mentioned in the video? Blessings to you. I hope you got to write the book you wanted.
@@MiraBaiFairlight Hi Mira! Thank you too, both for your kind words and for sharing this video 😊🙏 It’s been on my mind, and I just made a ‘write with me’ test video to see how it’s received… I will participate this year, and if there’s enough interest, I would love to do writing lives! I will write to you again here next week with a more definitive answer 💛 Blessings to you too!! Will you participate in this year’s NaNoWrimo?
This apartment is a dream ❤
🌺💛🥰

I love your decluttering videos and I wanna declutter it all now!!! 😅😅 Thank you ❤❤
I’m a new subscriber. This is only the 3rd video I’ve watched. But I plan to binge watch them all. I love your content, your delivery and that you keep them short. I’m happy that I found your channel ❤
What is the best way to write your list? Exactly how would you "word" the statement? I've been stuck on this part for a 'long time" and needed some help. Thanks so much :)
This has been great! I wrote a bit and felt I gained some clarity. :)
Hi Adrienne! I'm so happy to read this! Gaining more clarity is such a powerful step! Wishing you an amazing second half of the year 😃❤️

My pleasure James! Thank you for watching 😊🙏

Check in with your goals - fewer the better (3-5 goals is ideal) including aligning with you incliding remove goals which is of no value to you 5. Ikigai 6. Visualize where I want to be in next 6 months Close your eyes for a few minutes towards 1,2 and 6 ==========================================================
Great video 👍
Hi Alexis! Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😊🙏🌺
I just stumbled on your channel and am so excited to watch more of your videos. Just wanted to say how much I loved this video 🎉 we are also a mixed cultural family and I am learning how to be more organized and raise the energy by always having a tidy and manageable and relaxed home. One big factor was to learn how important it is to declutter stuff we don't use and eliminate visual clutter constantly by putting stuff where they live immediately after use . I was studying Feng Shui and the energy of a clean and inviting to be lived in home is just the best ✨️✨️✨️
Hi Annie 🤗 I’m really glad that you’re here! Also, thank you so much for sharing- I totally agree! It makes such a big difference in the feeling of the home, and that feeling carries over into so many aspects of our lives!! 🏡🪴💛✨

Haha, I am actually taking your advice right now, but not in decluttering but for studying😂 The decluttering will resume after the exams. I am currently enjoying a part of our home as a result of the constant decluttering. The mental space it gave me is priceless. Thank you for the motivation!❤
Hahaha, that is perfect! It applies so well to studies too! Yay for that part of your home- it really is priceless 😊 ✨ Happy, peaceful studying!! And thank you too- I'm always happy when I see a comment from you ❤️
