      londonbeauty-- i went YEARS without commenting on any vids. then i discovered that good people attract good people. there will be weirdo trolls EVERYWHERE that there is anonymity; but THEY should not silence sweet and honest discourse. RUclips algorithm rewards vids that have "engagement". so even if you don't feel like "leaving a comment" post a little emogie now and then; it is like a double thumbs up 😇😜🤗

      Yes! There are MANY videos and scientific studies confirming the immense health benefits of walking, walking among greenery, walking during the infrared/near infrared spectrum hours of sunlight, using red light therapy (must be the correct wavelengths and strength and duration for each medical purpose), medically called photobiomodulation. A couple of RUclips channels to start: MedCram and Out of the Doldrums. I find even 10 minutes of walking among nature (not a landscaped city park, but actually out in nature) makes a huge difference in my emotional health.

Any who... it is fine to add the donation button and we will determine the giving. Many new channels are able to grow this way or at least receive help if we think we can afford to. $2, 5, 10, etc... can add up for ya and quickly. Do not rely. Another channel that we are supporting is rapidly growing is Bren P Grace out of Boston/Providence region. Gig/car life. Anyway, okay to ask as you are giving value to at least nearly 9K subs.. go girl and stay humble. Peace

      Hi, Douglas! Thank you so much for helping me feel better about this. I have not been hearting comments because when I do that, it takes the comment out of my "have not responded" list and I need that list to know who I want to text respond to and I want to text respond to everybody. So I haven't been hearting so they're in the list. If any of that makes sense. But I think I'm going to need to simply heart a lot of them from now on. Which kind of breaks my heart? But I suppose we have to live within our limitations, don't we? Anyway, thank you again so much for helping me feel a little better about it. I love you!

    I accidently came across you and watched your video about your mental health. I could relate about how you felt you lost your work skills. I too went through losing me & my ability to succeed easy & effortlessly. I didn't recognize who I was & how I felt out of control. I went through different meds & counseling etc. Today I feel much better & I'm OK that I'm not exactly the same, I'm still me & your still you. Anyway your video was so touching, informative & uplifting. Don't be afraid to say how you feel on any given day, I know I will now continue to follow you & only wish I wasn't 3,000 miles away on the East coast. I only wish you the best of everything. P.S.

      You're so awesome to want that! I am working on it. The trouble is, I just don't have room for a lot of things. And most everything else I want is more than $100 (like a better camera, power station, etc.) and there's no way I'd put anything that expensive on the list. I'll figure something out. Thank you so very much.

    Your openness about your mental health struggles is so much value. I think People with mental illness struggle to feel understood. I think you are helping us by showing us we are not alone and someone out there GETS it. Your openness makes a topic that's often hidden...a topic that is ok. We dont have to hide our struggles. Aside from that you're funny honest and embarking on a new life situation that although wasnt a "choice" at the time you are choosing to make the best of. That takes strength resilience. 💪🏼 That can be inspiring for people in similar situations. And girrrrrl putting yourself out there on RUclips like this is Not easy. But youre doing it and positively affecting others. Sometimes God uses our struggles so that we may comfort others the way he comforts us in ours.
    Keep going. God bless you 🙏 ❤
