Hello Cozy October 🍁An autumn weekend in the city reading, pumpkin patching & laughing (a vlog)

- Hello, friends!
Ahhh, October : ) To quote one of the greatest literary characters of all time, "I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers." This month feels like a hug from a best friend you haven't seen in a while. There's something extra special about Portland in autumn...but I'd probably feel that way about anywhere I lived. Still though, the crows are flying in, pumpkins are everywhere, and there are spooky & autumnal displays in nearly ever small/independent shop front. Oh! And the leaves are beginning to change, ever so slightly ✨
Despite the comfort, and the nostalgia I feel this time of year, I went into this month feeling rather anxious. When I started filming this video, I was really really nervous for no apparent reason. Ultimately, with Landon's help, I was able to put on a smiling face and then begin to feel better. The rest of the weekend was spent trying to understand my anxious feelings and enjoy myself despite them. I managed to have a really lovely weekend, and I'm so happy you're here to share it with me ❤️
BIG hugs,
Morgan

***Nisha, the author of the cookbook I used for the chili recipe, doesn’t have the recipe available online. I don’t want to give her hard work away for free so I’ve found a VERY similar recipe by her for vegan chili that can be made without an instant pot. Almost all the same ingredients! rainbowplantlife.com/vegan-ch...

Oh how I wish I would of learned at your age that my value as a human was not based on how much I produced and hours worked. I spent half my life making my job my number one. As a teacher it’s expected and I just went along with it. Sweet friend, thank you for reminding us all the importance of rest and joy. Life is meant to be loved and not worked, we are human beings not human doings. Much love to you! 🧡🌻 Sonia
I love the European lifestyle for this exact reason. They work to live and do not live to work. Here in Western society we tend to do the opposite, which is extremely unhealthy, especially for mental health. As I'm approaching my 30's and recently quitting a job I loved due to extreme stress and no boundaries (my fault but still not right), I'm learning this too. Our boundaries in regards to self care should be set in stone. It is not optional for me to take care of myself. Work comes fourth (after worship, taking care of myself and then family/close friends too). Hugs to you! 🥰💕
This past week, actually month has been the most challenging of my life, I had to fly and take care of my ill Dad and sadly he passed away almost 2 weeks ago and these past 3 days grief finally hit me like a ton of bricks, I feel so depressed and sad, your video finally made me crack a smile so thank you 💕
I’m so sorry this has all happened, friend. It’s so much all at once. You deserve time to grieve and rest. I’m sending you so much love and comfort 💛 May your dad Rest In Peace.
@@MorganLong Thank you Morgan 💛
I am so sorry. Please try and take care of yourself, your Dad would want that. 💐
I am so sorry. Losing someone you love is so hard!!!❤❤❤❤
Amy sending you so many hugs, both my parents died over the last 3 years and I would say take it moment by moment in the early days, drink fluids and try to eat. Looking after yourself is hard at this time but so very important ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Morgan, this days have been so busy for me, and kind of stressfull, but I always feel like i'm home when I watch your videos, it's my comfort zone, and I really hope that all your dreams come true dear friend
I really appreciate you and your videos! Life can be so hard sometimes! Watching your channel is always such a peaceful escape! Thank you!
Immensely grateful to all the effort and time to create coziest and inspiring videos! Just what I need every weekend amidst the hustling, almost off-balance life in Singapore. Wishing you a delightful week ahead with your loved ones.
Work has been a nightmare the last few months, leaving me with little time or energy to even watch a youtube video. I'm glad to finally be off and able to catch up on all your videos. Not a minute in, and I already feel like I've been greeted by dear, beloved friends.
Thank you so much for your work, Morgan. You make my day better every time I watch your videos. 😊 And the pumpkins look amazing! 😃
Morgan, this was so calming and beautiful. My husband took me out for pancakes this morning and I was so anxious just going there. I work from home and just seriously don’t get out very much. It was work to relax and enjoy. I know that is just crazy. Watching you and Landon interact, especially in the kitchen, made me cry happy tears seeing you have fun together like that. You have figured out many life lessons that it has taken me twice+ long to figure out. I know these video comfort many people all over the world. PS that apron is perfect- I love the mushrooms 🍄.
Oh I know how you feel, Brenda! It’s so odd how something fun like getting pancakes or going to a pumpkin patch can be anxiety-inducing…when I started feeling anxious, I kept wondering, “but why?? This is FUN. Not scary.” And yet my body had a different reaction.
We do the best we can. Our feelings are valid no matter how our-of-place they feel in the moment. And as for life lessons, I’m sure you figured out many I don’t know when you were my age!
Landon and I send you big hugs ❤️
PS the apron was a birthday present from Karen! 🍄
It is our country's Thanksgiving long week-end. To all my fellow Canadians who watch the lovely Morgan, have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.🇨🇦❤️🤗😊
You have such a beautiful and soothing voice! I could listen to you for hours! I just sense, if you and I were ever to meet....we would become good friends!! Thank you for sharing your weekend! Happy Thanksgiving weekend 🍁🎃🍂🦃☕🥧🍗!!
Thank you so so, much Trudy friend! 🧡✨☕️🎃
I always feel that way, too! ❤️
Thank you too ❤️
I agree with what you say about anxiety. It’s been so hard for the past two years. There is always so much pressure. Everything you say is so true. Just have to take it one day at a time and be gentle and kind to your self. It’s challenging. For sure. Sending positivity and love.
Thank you, Maria friend ❤️ I wish that understanding a reason behind the anxiety would make it go away. I think it certainly helps! But goodness, there are highs and lows for us all!
I love this video. It was such a coincidence as I started feeling anxiety just this week. First time in my 46 years on this planet. I’ve had a lot happening at once- including an international move, purchasing a 120 yr old house, etc… it’s been a lot and I was comforted I’m not alone 😊❤
We're never alone, that's the beauty of social media and being open and vulnerable. Hope your anxiety gets better soon!🤍
I like this quote I heard ages ago "Worry is like a rocking chair, gets you nowhere fast" and I try to remember at my most anxious and stressed time. This was so lovely Morgan, can't wait to watch this 100 more times
Aww, I love this! I will remember this quote next time and hopefully laugh...because right now it makes me laugh to imagine trying to scoot somewhere in a rocking chair. Perspective is everything. BIG hugs, friend
@Makai Threads thank you , this is really helpful. I too have OCD and it's horrible. I wish you well on your journey, may you know a healing peace ❤️
Another amazing soothing cozy video! Thank you Morgan 🍁🍂🌾
Thank you so much, Emma friend!!
Love your green manicure.🍂🍁❤️🌾🎃. Stay safe, healthy, comfy and cozy. After 3 and a half months being homeless, I moved into my new beautiful place this past Friday. My cat Chai comes back on Oct 15th. I had friends looking after her. I miss her so much!!! I am so blessed, grateful and thankful this Thanksgiving. 🙏🙏🙏
I live in a state where autumnal vibes are hard to come by... thank you so much for sharing them in your video and being your silly and transparent self :)
Morgan, I love your videos and you seem like such a kind and sweet person. You make many people happy. Thank you for that. There is so little happiness in my life these past few years, but I try appreciating the small joys, like watching your videos on the days im well enough to do that. I think what you said about the pandemic makes sense . Im just sad to know that for me the isolation has not stopped, and I have no idea when I will be able to be well enough to out of bed. Ive been totally bedbound these past two years, I suffer from a neurological illness called ME, and in 2020 I got so sick that I lost the ability to walk and I still cant even sit up in bed or get in a wheelchair, but I try to keep hope that I will one day get better walk again. I also suffer really badly from anxiety, and I understand how horrible it can be.♥️ Im just do happy to follow your vlogs and see how you get joy out of the simple things in life. Many people could learn a lot about life from you ♥️♥️
It took me a lot of time to accept anxiety. Anxiety is gonna be there, and its alright as long as you know that its gonna go away but only if you dont fight to get rid of it as soon as possible. There are not bad emotions just unpleasant ones. I love your videos Mo. So grateful for this one and this community. If you are struggling with anxiety therapy has been amazing for myself, you are not alone. Lots of love to everyone ❤️
This is so well-said and so very comforting, Marina friend- thank you, big hugs ❤️
@@MorganLong thanks to you. This community is comforting by itself and i love it ❤️
You really hit the nail right on the head. It’s hard to get back to normality and it leads to a lot of anxiety.
I just turned 70! And retired! Guess what? I feel what you are describing. Change brings that about and I agree with you in that we are all trying to adjust, accept, and embrace a new way of living and are unsure what that even means. But I’m so excited to find out!
When you talked about how you believe some of your anxiety is based on adjusting and adapting to a somewhat post pandemic life again, my eyes just swelled with tears. Yeah, that's been a big one for me. And I too have been sick, or incapacitated in one way or another, it seems more of the year than not, and I feel worn down by trying to be 100% when I don't feel 100%. Hugs to you, hugs to me. Hugs to everyone dealing with their own emotional struggles. I can't believe that was your first pumpkin patch! Pumpkin patches are such a highlight of my autumn. (And also growing my own pumpkins, but I only ended up with one teeny tiny pumpkin in my garden this year.)🎃
Thank you sooooo much Morgan for featuring my products in your video. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for this, your wonderful videos that I always save to watch on a cozy night and they always make my day and most of all for you because watching your videos and watching you take the leap was one of the big reasons that encouraged me to just go for it✨🥰
I love love love your stationery, friend!! It was such an incredible gift! I’m so glad you’re pursuing your dreams and that my videos encouraged you to do so. BIG hugs ✨
watching morgan's video in an autumnal saturday evening with a cup of tea is such a great feeling ❤
You and your husband and your friends are awesome. I love how you enjoy life with books and not alcohol.
Heyyyyy Mo! This video was so relaxing to watch! I wasn't able to attend the premiere as I was asleep and I have been busy with uni work, but I'm so happy that I finally watched it! Can't wait to see more autumnal videos from you! Keep it up! xxxxxxx
Thinking of you Morgan. I’m sorry to hear that this passed year has been a hard one. Watching your videos always make me feel lifted up in a world full of woe’s. So thank you very, very much. Take care of yourself xx
Just realised the kisses may have been weird. 🤦🏻♀️
Morgan …you go to so much effort for your patrons ….like they are your best friends …! I understand as I love to wrap gifts for special friends too.
Your doing a marvellous job …but it’s not a job to you as it’s something you love to do ..! And it shows you help to raise all our spirits 🌟💖🌟,! I hope your anxiety improves xx well done !👏👏👏♥️🙋♀️💖💖🤗😘
What a beautiful human being you are. Your videos feed my soul sooo much! ❤️❤️❤️😍
And what couple goals!!! You giys look so perfect together!!!!!!
Not only in the United States working means so much in Life. Especially since I have a chronic illness, I can't Work so much, but it's so hard to Rest or even do nothing. Your Videos gives me the vibe being relaxed and enjoying this was of Life. ❤️✨
Hola, Morgan. Me encantan tus vídeos, no tienes idea de cuánto me ayudan y muchas veces me divierto no solo con los bailes en la cocina, también con las emociones que tienes cuando lees tus libros, todo en ti está lleno de tanta luz y amor, gracias por contagiar estos sentimientos tan necesarios. A big hug from Guatemala. (I hope you understand my message because I’m still learning English)💚
Absolutely love this vlog! Thank you sweetheart. Enjoying listening to the book so far. 🖤✨️
There’s something so magical about a cozy weekend with a good book, good food & loved ones! ❤
Landon was so funny throughout this!! I laughed so hard at the beginning and my boyfriend looked up at me wondering why since my headphones were on😂 Thank you Mo
I suffer from depression and anxiety and your videos soothe me. Thank you
Sending big hugs, friend ❤️
Absolutely 10000% agree 🥰❤️
Still very much dealing with the trauma of the pandemic. But mostly I wanted to thank you for the book recommendation! I absolutely loved it.
I felt my anxiety coming back, so I watched your videos to calm myself.
I so love your videos, I am too scared to start watching them, because then it is over too soon!😅
I absolutely love the part with the pumpkin patch 🎃😊 I love going as well and it looks like you both had fun. I love getting the super tiny pumpkins and it was fun to see you get super huge ones
Morgan, your videos are like a stress relief, soothing warm blanket.
I could listen to you for hours. So thank YOU 🙏 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹 x
Thank you, thank you, thank you Victoria friend!! ❤️🌼🌲🦋
What you said about all of us finally processing what has happened over the past few years really hit home! Even though there have been no restrictions in Denmark for a long time now, just the other day I found myself panicking as I was getting on the train because I had "forgotten" my mask.. Under the height of the pandemic everybody talked about getting back to normal, and then how this was our new normal, but I feel like these past years have changed so much about what we thought we knew, that everyday is just us figuring out how to live our lives no matter the circumstances and finding those small victories and lovely experiences like going to a pumpkin patch, cooking a warm nice meal, or spending time with friends no matter how ✨ Thank you so much for sharing your anxieties, thoughts and feelings with us! 🧡
I found this comment so comforting 💛 It’s bittersweet and true. We’re all just doing the best we can to live our lives 💛
Cinematography = chef's kiss 😘
Thank you for saying the good things about the book - I have it, and I am reading it, it is just lovely. xxx
thank you for sharing your feelings with us. I feel almost the same, but not only because of Covid, but also because of war. I'm from Ukraine, and russia invaded my country and still kills Ukrainians every day with bombs and missiles. I still can't believe that it's possible in 21 century in Europe. They destroyed our peaceful lives...Autumn is my favorite season, that's why it is so heartbreaking for me not to have opportunity to enjoy it. But we're fighting every day adnd we'll win.Thanks a lot for your cozy autumnal videos, it inspires me not to give up and believe that I'll have the same opportunity to enjoy Autumn soon. 🍁🇺🇦
Lovely video. The pumpkin patch loooked like so much fun.
The book sounds a really good read.
Here for all your videos! Plus I just moved out of Portland (I used to live in one of the tall buildings that appears in your shots!) so watching your snippets will bring back & keep alive my years there.
You and Landon in the pumpkin patch was so sweet & felt like watching a whimsical film. You just seem like the best human, Morgan! Always so inspired by you 💚
I hope things are ok. You are missed! ❤
I appreciate your videos, Morgan. I truly feel so identified with you. I struggle with anxiety and I prefer a quiet life reading, writing, and drinking tea. I feel a warm feeling in my chest when I watch your videos. The effort you put into each video is noticeable and so inspiring. Thank you. Big hug from Spain
Thank you for the lovely autumnal video and for addressing the difficulties of going back to "normality", I feel seen
It's lovely to know that I'm not alone when feeling anxious. I have discovered reading is really good for my mental health. Your artwork is amazing Morgan, I love the way you paint. Blessings from Ireland an thank you for being here, it means so much to me. Xx
Thank you so so much, Elaine friend ❤️
A really lovely video
I think it can help people so much to hear that you
also can get overwhelmed by like you say a heavy todo list
Is it me or is it already October! Days go by so fast. 😌 Morgan this video truly made my day. I cant wait to re watch it while getting my life together.🍁🍂💛❤
So so lovely! Loved it! Thank you! 💕🌻
The beginning of this video was darling!! Thanks for always being to vulnerable, Morgan! It is such a gift to not feel alone 🤍

Loved this!
This was such a cozy video, thanks Morgan! It really lifted my spirits and now I'm super excited to go to a pumpkin patch too! ♥
I love the book content, the coziness, the feels, and I get such enjoyment in the cooking segments! It is always encouraging for me. Keeps me on track with my lifestyle. You say you are grateful for us, but I am so incredibly grateful for YOU 💛🧡
I totally relate to the Sunday scaries and delayed anxiety from life going back to normalcy after the pandemic. It's a lot to adjust too. The planners are lovely. Love your mug, Morgan. Your videos are amazing. They make me feel so cosy and warm and always leaves me craving a warm cup of tea. 😁😁
Soooo cozy 🧡 Just what I needed to relax after a quit anxious week! Thank you again Morgan 🍁☕️
your hard work shows, Morgan! as always, super stunning and cosy video xxx
Gracias por tus videos Mor💕
Your videos bring me so so much comfort. I had been going through a pretty rough patch with my mental health when I started watching your videos again regularly, I ’ve found that starting my days watching your videos has brought so much genuine positivity into my everyday life. Your videos are so so perfect and I truly look forward to them every week (and I am currently thoroughly enjoying a rewatch of your older content)
Such a lovely postcard draw! I love your videos! Cheers from Copenhague :)
Love love love!!!! 😍😍😍

Hello from France ! I love everything in your videos but your kindness and your personality is very important too ! Thank you for being here with us !
Such a cozy, great video, Morgan! :)
That was so wondrously beautiful 🥰 also the hints of real background audio are so cozy ☺️🌻
Thank you so much, friend 🤗
Thank you for this wonderful video! I looked forward to watching it all day, you are such an inspiration to me and you make me so happy when I'm down. Thank you for talking about "weekend worries" and anxiety, I know all about those things. I've had some health struggles (chronic migraines) this week and watching this and your old videos almost make me forget about them. So, once again, thank you🧡
The perfect Autumn vlog! A work of art 🍂
Thank you for being so open with your struggles! Your honesty yet hopefulness really resonates with me and makes me feel less alone. Thank you ❤
I had dinner at my friends last evening. Covid has made me appreciate the blessing of dinner and conversation, just like your dinner with James. It brings joy!
Believe me Morgan - relaxing and resting isn’t always possible when you have small kids 😝😝 xxx
Oh, friend I can only imagine!! I have so much respect for you ❤️
Sad to have missed the premiere. 😢 But thoroughly enjoyed watching this on Saturday morning. 😊 I soaked up all the fall coziness!!! 🧡🍁🧡 Your videos are always such a comfort to my soul. Take care, Sweet Friend! 🥰
Thankyou for this lovely Video. I find so much comfort watching them, in every single one. Take care. ❤️
Landon's rating was so honest it made me laugh so much. Such a cute video!
Love watching your videos/hearing about your life because it brings me joy! I have felt some abnormal anxiety this weekend as well. have to realize I’m not in control of what goes on around me, but I am in control of how I respond to it. Hope you have a good week ☺️
the coziness and comfort your videos bring me is so indescribable🖤 you have such a gift and it is so magical, thank you for sharing it with the world. about to watch this a second time:) cheers friend!☕️
Thank you so so so much, Rhiannon friend 🖤 I probably say this a lot but I so appreciate that you've been here since the beginning. Your comments have been a comfort to me for literal years 🖤 Cheers!
What a beautiful vlog, as always! Thank you for what you do. And I’ll say again, so grateful you keep that same ending intact - for some reason those clouds and music just touch my soul!
Thank you so much for appreciating what I do, friend ❤️ I’m so glad that the ending is magical for you too ⛅️
At the beginning of this video you and Landon made me laugh! So cute! I love all your pumpkins 🎃
Hope all of your anxiety melts away!!! 💖 great and fun and cute video 10 out of 10 😄
The pumpkin patch is amazing! I wish we had something like that over here where I live... 🍂 Thanks for the video 😊
A gloomy Tuesday morning in England was made brighter by this video. Thank you💛
