      *BIG HUGS* 💛🤗 you are not a failure. Not in the least. The fact that you are still here is a win. Give yourself grace. Show yourself kindness. Heal without judgment. You are doing the best you can. I see you. I believe in you. I'm sending you SO much love. And thank you so much for your sweet words and support. It truly means a lot to me. 💕🥰 I'm glad it soothed you! That is such a major compliment.

    I completely agree with your philosophy of living. I love how you speak from your heart. I too believe in living gracefully and not burning through life, I mean... WHY?.. I love your song at the end. Your voice is a lovely song to my ears no matter what you sing. I've never liked the expression "late bloomer" . We bloom when we feel like it's time. Your are wise...

    I am so relieved that I landed on this video. You speak the truth and I can relate to everything you said. I try to keep myself so busy to the point of burnout because I started punishing myself with thinking that I am so behind in life, despite all my accomplishments. God bless sis. 💜

    Thanks. I was feeling bad, so much happening this year besides Covid! Brakes went out twice (No one hurt thank God), needed all new tires too, fridge with only freezer working- having to make adjustments. Also stranded in Greenland, TN 5 hrs with family At Night- scary, forest All around in the mountains- busted tire! Then I had a bad fall about 3 weeks ago and 'had' to stop, rest, heal. Last but not least, sister needed help driving back from California to Memphis & foot not truly well, reinjured! God helped me to be thankful, see the good through the bad. And Yes, sometimes it seems just too much! May God Bless all who's suffering, who Trusts in Him. ❤️🙏

      Oh noooo! Barbara, I am SO sorry! I'm sending you so much love today. Yes. Some days it's okay for everything to just be too much. I'm so glad you listened to your body and spirit and decided to rest and slow down. All of that definitely feels like a LOT. That would be enough to make me Tuck in and go away from everything for a while. How are you feeling today? And yes! My God bless the suffering. We're all collectively suffering, and then life is happening to all of us individually, too. 💛💛💛💛💛

    I love you for this!! I was not ready for the song though. 😭😭. The song touched my heart and I'm like, why she do this to me lol..It just....wow!! But I come to listen to you for just being you. I want you at your best to create anything. If its weeks or a month we don't see you, I just patiently wait. Because I know whatever is next, you are bringing YOU. I deal with anxiety. And that can lead to depression at times. I'm working on ME everyday to be able to be the best me, a wife and a mom. You're not alone in this. 💙💙

I'm so proud of you. ☺️ And this song was such therapy for me. It warms my heart whenever anyone else is inspired or encouraged by it. Or if they simply feel SEEN. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 💛💛💛💛💛

      @@AleciaRenece Thank you! It's kind of exciting imagining what's next. I'm trying to focus on that. Things I'm grateful for:
      -I already have a storage unit for my things (any myself if need be)..
      -I can afford movers so I don't have to break my back moving by myself.
      -I cleaned my home thoroughly all of last week so my final weeks will be comfortable and cozy and I am going to enjoy every second of it.
      -I'm alive! I'm healthy! And God has lent his grace towards me to keep me from suffering the consequences of the harmful stress I've done to myself my whole life.
      -This community and your work.

      I don't listen to Rod Wave, but I can understand that. Sometimes though, listening to sad music actually helps me. It allows me to express myself, accept myself where I am and process (and cry if I need to). But there is a moment where I get up and try to cheer myself up, but first I grieve. 💛💛💛
