We wanted to share this video with you as a warning for anyone thinking about shipping a vehicle in future. Learn from our mistakes and make sure you do your due diligence when organizing your shipping. To date we are currently still chasing down the ~$4500USD still owed to us & our friend Jordan by our shipping agent Gaston (ScapeADVcargo).
Thank you all for your patience, love and support xoxo

#warning #vanlife #overland
To all of Lee's family, to Max & Occy, to the van community, and to everyone who watched and received joy from the beautiful bright light that was Lee - we can never truly know her pain but we can still celebrate the time we had with her. May she be at peace, may she feel our love, may she soar pain-free.
im at a loss, ive been trying to find out what happend to her?
@@shaggyturf8879 she took her own life about 6 weeks ago in Santa Barbara....
@Susan Brown I could not think of a way to say it better than this. I am heartbroken for her and for all who loved her.
Amen
This video was obviously a bit more all over the place then our normal videos but as we said, it is real and raw. We felt it important to share in the hopes that our mistakes made are avoided in future by other overlanders. Do you due diligence when selecting a shipping agent. We are still chasing the ~$4,500USD from Gaston (the cost of paying the shipping fee's the second time - directly to the right companies).
We are members of an amazing community on Facebook called the 'Panamerican Travelers Association' which is a GREAT resource if you are driving anywhere in the Americas or looking into overlanding/ shipping a vehicle.
We hope you enjoyed the positives in amongst the hard times and wanted to thank you all for your love, support and patience. You're the best xoxo
Happy New Year 🎉
I just went through the same issues, I shipped my motorcycle from Los Angeles,CA to the port of San Antonio in Chile, I signed a contract for $ 2070 and ended up paying cents short of $ 5000.- For anybody interested, if you are in the US, please check the BBB page before hiring an agent. I'll be happy to share my experience with whomever needs it. I'm glad you got the Van out.
@@yirandoamerica5942 I am so sorry you've gone through the same thing :(. Thank you for sharing your experience too! For anyone who doesn't know the BBB is the Better Business Bureau www.bbb.org/
@@MaxLeeandOccy sending tight hugs!
Max and Lee I recommend you guys reading ‘the shipping man’. After your recent adventure in the world of shipping youll have a great appreciation for it. You’ll be loling so hard.
What a nightmare! Really sorry this stuff happened to you guys. It’s so emotionally draining. This shouldn’t have happened. Hard lesson. Big hugs and wishing you all the goodness and health for 2020 xx
“It’s only money”...the amount of times we’ve had to tell ourselves this from lessons we’ve learned along the way is more than we’d like to admit. Thanks for keeping it real you two. So happy things worked out in the end 💛
Ya but there is a point were you take a stand
Tyler and Todd Thank you 💛 Loved seeing you in Eamon & Becs video today 🙏🏼✌🏼
I understand the sentiment behind that expression - but it also kind of drives me nuts. That's like saying, "it's only health care" or "it's only a roof over your head" or "it's only food" - all of those things require $$. 💞
Hi Max and Lee, I am not sure if either of you guys will get to read this but I just wanted to say a couple of things.
I heard about your break up and all I can say is that the news made me sad and I wish you both all the best.
I just wanted to send this message to thank you both for all of the great videos that you guys made. I looked forward to your videos every Monday morning (here in Oz) so much. I would get up early Monday morning (4.30am) just to have time to watch your video when I got to work. I loved to see your next adventure and for 20 minutes or so I was right there in the van travelling South America as well. I know that there are many other people on You Tube doing the van life thing but you guys made such great videos and both seams such genuine people. It really was the highlight of my week.
I was really thrilled to hear that you were going to Europe, however that was not to be.
Thank you for the joy and smiles you brought me and I really do wish you both all the best in life. I am sad to hear that it will no longer be with each other however if it's not right then it's just not right.
Hopefully we will see one or both of you guys pop up on you tube some time soon.
Please look after yourselves.
Cheers
John J
woah
Well said
Thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking and feeling too. Love to both of you and Occy❤️.
Boo breakup??
John J where did you hear they broke up? That is so sad 😭
The financial loss is only one side of the situation. Having your trust broken is an emotional recovery that can take longer to work through. Keep in perspective that the person that did these things to you is the accountable person for all of the emotional, physical and financial distress. Remember all the others through the multiple countries you traveled that were decent and trustworthy. I also wanted to say that your videography is insanely creative. I can only imagine the time filming and editing that goes into the condensed posted version. I know it's a lot of work and I appreciate you both sharing your amazing adventures and parts of your life.
It takes a laid back Australian to put it into perspective-only money...yes it {does} etc.
Facts
That really sucks having your home held hostage, double that someone else was going through it too with their van. Happy to see you all reunited.
“It’s only money Lee” as hard as that is to hear in the midst of it all and all the feelings it is such a good reminder. I cried with you guys in that good news. So glad you guys were able to get the payment down.
I cry too ♥️ is only money oufff not easy to hear but so trwo. ♥️♥️
This all doesn't seem fully real, there's Propaganda tactics for possible financial supportive gain, included. When people dont work, some impose a Guilt trip upon those they Target!
If all these people emphasize so much caring sympathy and the Internet page has the Advertizement Pinned at the top of the list, then the focus is 'the Gift' rather than "the Giver's" of 'the gifts'!
HeadCrownArrows yeah but it’s nothing wrong with being emotionally honest and having a healthy emotional release or cry...you cry...clear ur mind and move in...no one should feel like them being emotional may be judged by their partner...but I don’t know their relationship, so I’m sure he said what he felt she needed to Hearst the but I would have been more upset that I wasn’t allowed that space to just cry..
@@LuvuluvuLaChic I completely agree. It's important to let your partner experience their emotions without scrutiny. $12k is a significant sum of money relative to what approximately 90% of the population accumulates annually, and both Lee and Max clearly worked very hard to build their savings. Based on what I've gathered from their past videos, Lee worked a low wage job for months on end to even be able to travel in the first place. When you bust your ass for that many hours over an extended period of time only to be eventually screwed over financially... she has *every* right to experience a moment of weakness and completely break down.
@@LuvuluvuLaChic I agree - and a lot of the crying (I'm assuming, of course) - is out of frustration and the complete realization you have been swindled and taken advantage of. It's not really about the $$ - not exactly. That said, they seem like a really sweet couple with a good relationship and I'm so glad they got a lot of their money back.
I’m in Miami, looked him up, and he has been in so much trouble, and has lawsuits everywhere!! I’m so sorry that this happened to you, however, it worked out. And I am happy you have your home back..... love and light
I’m so glad it managed to work out for you in the end. Life teaches us some crazy lessons sometimes.
Hope Max is safe in Australia with the fires and Lee and Occy aren’t freezing up in Canada. Much love 💚💚
Who’s here watching their journey after watching the Max and Occy channel? Just wanted to get to know their awesome dynamic that made everyone fall in love w them.
What a mess! 🤦♀️ Had me in tears too, but I am so glad you three are healthy and you got your van back. Now, don't let Gaston get away with this. I wish you luck, health and happiness for 2020. ❤️
im so happy for you guys that everything worked out best case scenario , this was surely a testament of lessons to be learned and how to stay optimistic in trying times. Thanx for showing the raw footage and hardships that's what makes your channel so authentic !
We're so sorry you guys had to go through this. 😞 This was such a long journey of emotions, thank you guys for sharing with us. It just shows things always work out in the end for good and positive people!!❤️
It's easy to get ripped off, when you have a honest and trusting nature! That hurt you went through might
Serve you well in the future. Good vibes going forward xxx
Happy New Year, I hope you spend time with your family and loved ones. Nice to see you again, hopefully at sometime I can meet you three in Germany, you made me travel in Indonesiea, thank you for that. Also had some rough time at the end of the year, but I try to stay positive as you also do. Never forget the great moments from your last year, they are the power you need to have another nice year. Much Love, Sebastian from Germany❤
I'm so sorry to hear you both went through that, cuz it sounds horrible! Thank goodness you have your home back, & that you have a great support system & amazing friends. Also wanted to add a congrats on the channel continuing to grow, as I have been around from back when you were a smaller channel & just starting out. It makes me so happy to see you both doing well despite your challenges, & do what's best for you in the moment. Your fans will be here cheering you on no matter what you're doing. Much love from Cali Us. 💗🙌🏻✨
Glad you got your home back. Love the shots of Occy hanging with his new friends. He is such a loving light at the end of a rough road. Take care ✌🏻👍💖💖💖🐶
I didn't realise how much I've missed you guys. So happy that it worked out for you in the end and that you got your beautiful home back. You're a true inspiration because you're so kind-hearted and you go for your dreams. All the best and happy new year!
Oh my. I’m so sorry that you all had to go through this!! Thank you for sharing this story, as a notice for all others who may need the same service. So much love to you three from San Francisco! ✨
I'm so sorry you've had to go through this sh1t. Thinking of you and hope that Max's family is safe in Oz during these fires. Much love for the new year, you're strong and together which is so important and we all love you and your videos xxxxx
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Winston Churchill
This has such a different meaning now
Guys, I'm so glad everything is ok in the end
I’m so glad you got it all worked out! My heart was breaking watching the raw footage, I cried along with you Lee. Sending hugs from California 🌻☀️
Sorry to hear you both broken up i hope it’s amicable and that you are in good terms and remain friends...wish u all the best and will miss occy and your videos
Oh wow! I was in tears myself when I saw you both at the gym after receiving the email giving you some super positive news. Gather strength , it's really rocked and impacted your time with family and your trust . Love that you had 'the vannies' ( Eamon and Bec, the Matneys I follow them too) with you, they would have lifted your spirits, great guys. Take stock and remember the support ( I know they are only words but they are meant from the heart) that the followers you have gathered through your FABULOUSSSSSSS travels are rooting for you. Lots of hugs sent your way xx( not forgetting Occur, love the tattoo).
Occie ( I blame predictive text lol)
Happy new year both of you & occy.Happy to see you after a long time 👍
Happy New Year Max & Lee & Occy ❤
So glad you are back.
Sad what you went through. Thank you for giving your watching audience heads up as to what can happen.
Happy you had friends close by.
Love the tattoo 🥰
You certainly haven’t lost your camera/editing skills during this ordeal. Highlights: dog joy, especially Occy showing Bella and Izzy his pad; seeing you three couples together (I started following you all in Mexico); modeling good problem solving with all the rough edges intact; your graciousness as you identified and thanked your/our community. All the best to you in 2020, I hope this trauma doesn’t leave too much psychic/spiritual damage. We all need course corrections from time to time. Max, my heart breaks for Australia and I’m glad you’re finding a way to help. Lee, lifelong learning is one of my favorite things...you go girl. Occy, I’ll be wearing you over my heart one day soon.
I’m so sorry this has happened to you guys! Watching Lee cry makes me so sad. Please keep us updated if you guys are able to get the rest of your money back ❤️
We will, thanks for your support ❤️
Glad you have the van. Thoughts are with your home and family in Australia. 💕
Seeing Lee cry broke my heart💔 thank goodness for the ending where you had a lot of the charges dropped and now you have you van back. Many hugs for both of you♡
Wow what a nightmare, so glad its finally over. I loved how all the van lifers took care of each other .... good to have such great friends have your back !!
I know I am late on commenting. But wow, I’m in tears. I’m so sorry you guys had to go through that. But wow I’m amazed by how gracefully you handled that situation Max, “it’s only money” & how you comforted Lee.
I’m heartbroken to hear about Lee. I know she’s at peace with no worries.
Max, I pray for peace in your heart ❤️
What an absolute nightmare guys! You both handled that extremely well and we’re so glad everything got sorted in the end. Such a horrible experience. Sending lots of love and positive energy your way for the next adventures to come 💛
so much love for you guys!
I hope you keep travelling and that this new year brings better things
So glad to hear this turned out so much better than it could have been and for sharing this chaotic/soulwrenching experience. Sending you 3 lots of love!! Hoping for better times again for y'all. ♡
I am so happy to see you two having your van back. ♥
Max & Occy...do it! Will happily still watch.
Thank you for being for real and still positive, its refreshing to hear honest advice and stories, sounds like its been a tough time, hope life gets back to normal now you have the van back :) thank you and happy new year !
Happy New Year! So glad the nightmare shipping thing is almost over and that you got your van home back. So glad you are making others aware of this and that they take pre-cautions when sipping their vans/buses. I hope 2020 brings you many wonderful adventures and blessings.
Sending lovely thoughts and prayers to both of you.
Hi Guys. Happy New Year to you all. I hope 2020 is a happy and healthy one full of adventures. So glad you've had your home back. Ive been keeping my eye on Insta and FB for updates. Please don't let it put you off shipping in the future, not everyone is a nasty piece of work like Gaston. You guys are such an inspiration to all your viewers so Thank you for keeping us updated on your progress. Much love from Wales, Uk xx
So glad you have your van back and can start to put this all behind you! Years down the road, this story will be retold by you without the pain and tears you feel now, but with awe at how you've grown. Looking forward to more videos from you when you're ready!
I'm so so so happy to hear that you guys have finally gotten the van back! Tyler & I are honored to be a bit of happiness in this whole trauma and look forward to your many more adventures. Thank you both for sharing a lovely afternoon with us and the video came out amazing. Lots of love, Brianna & Tyler :)
This made my Sunday. I really miss your videos. Thanks
Love you Jess x
When I heard how much this debacle was costing, I was more than happy to let all the ads on this video play. Looking forward to buying one of those Occy shirts to support you guys!
Thank you so much Lisa! That makes a huge difference for us 💛 We will touch base about the Occy T's soon xx
Lisa Swanson also am watching all the ads ....and those occy tshirts are sooooo cooooool! Looking forward to purchasing one or two..
Can't you do a lawsuit? I know all about it. Let me know if you guys need me to help so we can process it at no cost from me👍😁❤️
Same here!
@@bellacoria you can't get blood from a turnip. If there is no money to be found, even winning a judgement does no good except to leave a trail that Gaston is not an ethical person.
So glad things got much better for you guys. I was so saddened watching your insta updates. Enjoy your time as family again, and relax. much love to you guys and occy!
you guys were the first vanlifers i ever followed...i started watching you on a greek holiday in rhodes and that led me to eamon and bec and eventually to sailing la vagabond...its been amazing to follow all the youtube adventures over the last few years...ive defo been inspired as have so many others...i now live in a little 2 berth swift charisma...i absoloutly love it and its all thanks to you guys...best of luck for the future whether together or apart.xxx
You guys are good, honest people just going about your lives and didn't deserve any of this. Glad to see things worked out better than you thought. Why am I crying lolllll so happy for you two❤️😂 Happy New year and hopefully there will be many great adventures ahead.
Gosh, what a nightmare for you both. It is stressful and emotionally draining, but I'm impressed how well you handled it. Glad you got your home back. And you're right Max, although frustrating and stressful it is only money. What Australia is going through at the moment, it puts life into perspective. Not sure where you're family farm, but I hope they are safe and ok. Thank goodness for all of your good friends and family that kept you guys smiling and Occy happy. 😉
Happy New Years! ❤️ Lee your talk about skill share just made something click for me now I need to check this out! I always admire you guys even in the bad times you can stay positive, such a great quality!
So sorry this happened to you guys, it's crap when good people are taken advantage of. I'm glad you recieved help and got your van back, welcome home Lee, Max, & Occy and Happy New Year!
I appreciate you posting such raw footage. Perhaps max was a bit nervous to post that “it’s only money Lee” comment so props for the vulnerability And showing that imperfect footage. You must have been so worried about Lee and wanted her to feel better. It can be difficult to just sit in those emotions with someone and not try to make things better. It was obvious that she felt invalidated and I’m sure you learned from that moment. My husband struggles with this too. He just wants me to feel better immediately and nearly goes into panic mode when I am upset.
I just saw a warning on one of my FB groups about this guy. Apparently, it’s been going on for quite a while. So sorry this happened to you guys.
I feel like you both handled it pretty well. Whenever something has gone wrong you both always try to handle things w a positive attitude. And the support that you've had from everyone I'm sure has helped. Glad you got your van back though! ♥️
I'm glad everything worked out in the end with you both being safe, occy is all happy and round, and the van is in one piece. I hope this year brings you good luck and new adventures.
Being waiting for you both...
Happy 2020- MAX, LEE and OCCY...
Sending allll the love and positive energy to you both through all of this nonsense! What a whack thing to go through!!
Awe! So happy for you guys! What a mess, I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that. So glad to see you are on the other side ♡
I missed your lovely faces on my RUclips feed and got so excited when I saw the notification! love you guys and am so happy to see you finally reunited with your home and occy! sending you positive vibes and praying it only continues to get better from here. p.s. love seeing all my favorite van lifers hanging out together!! ♡♡♡♡
So happy everything worked out in the end.. maybe a detailed video on how this all happened so others can avoid this problem? Seems like a very valuable lesson for anyone that watches! :)
I’m sorry, but 12k is A LOT of money, especially if you have been scammed. I’d be crying, too. Glad it worked out. S
It is so good to see all of you!! So glad things finally worked out for you!!
Max & Lee, I am glad you guys started 2020 with good vibes and with most of the previous problems with the Van being resolved. That experience should be taken as the closure of a decade and because of the way you guys are, I am sure good things will come for you both in the remaining days of the calendar. Cheers!
I'm exhausted just watching this. I can't imagine living through it. That's a long time not being able to access your home. Take care and we'll see you when you next decide to post. P.S. Love the Where's Bob? t-shirt.
Sorry to hear the news. I had a feeling a while back when Lee came back from the brief trip to Canada and things felt off. It was a joy to follow your adventures. Good luck ♥️
thats exactly what i thought...
To me it felt off before that, but I wish them well in their individual adventures. 🙏
People like you with your snide comments contributed to that poor girl taking her life. You should have thought before you posted this. Remember, they read your comments not just their fans.
So sorry you had to go through all this! It was really nice to see you again. Happy new year to all 3 of you! 😊🎉
Finally! My Sunday morning coffee tasted delicious! Just so happy to see this whole situation resolved. Without a doubt the friends you’ve made along the way made a huge difference in this situation! Money comes and goes, but friends last forever! Looking forward to your next adventures! @Lee...your thoughts of being a wedding videographer sounds wonderful. Keeps us posted on that! Kisses to Occy! ❤️💯
This is so sad and maybe this broke you up. You guys had way more in common than what happened to you and it is really really sad to see someone taking advantage of you. Being broken up perhaps you don't feel like doing another youtube channel but it would be nice to see you again Max. I see Lee on Eamon and Bec's channel in lockdown. Miss you and Occy too.
So happy to see you back on RUclips‼️‼️ I’ve missed you‼️ You guys seriously are my favorite channel. I literally was watching something else when your video popped up & I immediately hit yours to watch instead.😂 So sorry about all of your problems with the van. That guy should be prosecuted.😡 I’m really excited though for more videos of what your little family is doing whether it be traveling or some other new adventures of some sort. Your videos are always good! Please keep us all updated & pet Occy for me. My husband & I went on a short trip before Christmas & the second day we were gone my little 15 year old chihuahua who was constantly at my side passed away.😢 So you give that Occy a great big hug from me. 🐾🐾❤️
Omg Amy I am so so sorry 😢 That is devastating news, my thoughts are going out to you ❤️
I'm sure your Chihuahua lived 15 incredible years with you. Thank you for your love & support.
Max & Lee 💞
Amy i am very sorry too, i lost my constant companion a few months ago so i know how you feel, look after yourself and i believe there is a doggy heaven where they are all running around, happy, healthy and making lots of friends.
Alan Hudson You’re too kind.💕
🙏🤞🙏 *Thanking you . . . for update* !!
Relieving to hear about all happenings & congrats Lee on new venture of studying about your new venture.
note: Many do not have or use much or may have notifications turned off on *Instagram* . The checking of
your 'stories' section is so important I feel as that is where *your recent updates* have been as of late.
'I' personally recommend pple do sign up for IG and set it to 'private'. Then one can choose the one or
possibly a few pages you want to follow.
glad you guys got your van back! thanks for all the great episodes, the good and the bad - your channel supports you!
Yay! Max, Lee & Occy! ❤️... what a palaver with the van!😢😳... Nice tattoo Max... Want to get one of our boys now (one doggie on each arm🤔🤣)... Look forward to seeing you all soon😉👍 x
Ouuu yes when you come over to Canada you should book in with Tyler (near Toronto) @t.halle on instagram, he is amazing! But he books out early so keep it in mind before getting to Toronto x
Meanwhile, Occy was literally having the best *sleepover* of his life with the Housewives. Glad you're all back!
greatboniwanker housewives? Lol
vanwives
@@lauriecanning9314 I wondered about that later, but I would have sworn the little caption said Housewives. I def could have been wrong.
greatboniwanker I found it quite funny actually.. 😂 Jazmyn is my daughter.. from the vanwives.. I guess if you look at it quickly.. all good.. enjoy your evening!!
Thank god you guys got it pretty much sorted, what a nightmare. So glad you're back. I took a break from the channel just before you took a break after the salt flats, and only just got back to binging you guys and boy I guess I missed a lot of drama. Glad it's sorted and happy to be back. Here's to a stress free 2020! x
So happy for you guys that the Van is back in your hands. I’m saddened that you had to go through such an ordeal, stay strong, keep smiling and be awesome always x
♥️🇨🇦
So fun to see Bec and Emon and the Mateneys.
🚐😢🤞 What an ordeal
Occy and his ladies 💙💚💜🐾
I just discovered you guys but I see you two have gone your separate ways. What a shame to not have been able to see you continue your journey together but I wish you both good luck in your new chapters
I'm so incredibly sorry you had to go through this. Things like this shouldn't happen to good people. So happy you finally got the van back. Thank you for the update. I was worried about the two of you but I have quit social media except RUclips due to the unrest in our country (U.S.) so I had no idea what was going on with the van and yourselves. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Please keep us posted on the future.
I’m so glad it turned out better than expected!!! I hope you guys have a wonderful 2020 ❤️
Someone earlier coined the term "the vannies" when they saw all three couples at the tattoo parlor. I think you all need to contact TLC or BRAVO and pitch your "3 van couples around the world" reality show. I know it's better viewing and WAY more entertaining than most of their content. You've got plenty of stuff to show as demos. Glad to hear things are better now and Happy New Year!
Marc Great idea! I would totally watch
I would watch🤓
It’s really cool of you to share peace of footage from your vulnerable times
What an ordeal you've been through! I'm glad it's mostly over now and that the worst of the money issues have been downgraded. I'm sure it made the Holiday season a bit more stressful for you both than you wanted but I hope you were able to enjoy it anyway. I hope you both can relax a bit and enjoy the new year now as you've had a wild 2019. Best of luck in your future goals and whatever plans you have been putting in place. I've also been thinking about you both with the news of Australia's wild fires. Max, I hope your family is okay and safe there.
Guys I am sooo sorry you had to go through that! But yay it worked out ok in the end!! So great to see u, thanks for checking in & mind yourselves 💜💜
It’s not so much about the money in these situations, it’s the sense of hurt from being ripped off by people you trusted and the self blame that follows after. So sorry you guys had to go through all this and admire you for sharing your story to help warn others. xx
Damn Disney names. Gaston.
Thank you for being real and raw.
I was JUST thinking about how much I miss watching your content & then you uploaded!!! 👏💃 love you guys!!
Wow guys. You're inspirational. Good for you for sticking with it. Stay healthy where ever you are now. You too Occy!
Damn! That’s a lot of problems you guys got into. Lee, even if you do your research, in the end it is still the person you hired to do the work is the one responsible. BTW I love the videos and tips by Matti. Good luck with your new venture.
Thanks Nico! Appreciate your positivity.
Money is one thing, but the emotional toll, stress, anger, frustration, impatience, those are really hard to bear
I just wanted to jump through RUclips and give you guys a hug. All I kept thinking was that Lee would have to go back to work all summer again. You guys are a very strong couple and this mistake (which someone scamming you is NEVER your fault) will just make you more stronger all my love!!!!
very happy to see a happy ending. Lousy stuff like this is just a part of life. You both handled it very, very well! All the best for 2020
I love you guys❤️🇦🇺❤️🇨🇦❤️🐾....my hope and prayer for you three is for peace of mind, peace of heart, no matter where your journeys take you. Being a patreon and knowing a bit more of your story my heart is with you❤️
man bun overload at the tattoo house :D
Thanks for sharing, safe travels to you both! 💜 happy new year!!
All the this video made me cry with you, I was so happy to see you, miss your videos allot they are what brightened my Sundays!
I'm so happy that everything eventually worked out. Lee I cried when you cried. I seen the frustration and know how those moments can feel. I miss seeing your videos and can't wait for more to come. So happy also to see Occy back home with mom and dad. Love the tattoo Max, I agree tatts are great. I have a whole lot of them myself!
You should definitely sue this Gaston from Miami character..
I freakin love you guys💕
Max, you are so right! It's only money - such a powerful and positive mindset to have when things don't go our way. Lee, you are so strong and loving the long bob on you :) I truly believe that all things will be balanced out in the energetic realm so whomever had poor intentions / scammed you, will have to experience what that feels like somewhere down the road. Y'all have some beautiful souls and I will watch all the commercials until the end, as well! Sending you health, love and abundance.
So glad this all worked out for you, and a life lesson, as we all have had things happen that we wished hadn't happened. Happy journeys from now on and I look forward to your upcoming travels. Missed you guys and Occy.
