- Hello, friends!
The extreme highs and lows of living alone have continued on their rollercoaster way. In trying to balance out my feelings and day-to-day well-being, I've realized how important it is to be intentional with my "off" time. In this video, I decided to use my time off to bake myself a cake. Baking is something I enjoy but I haven't made time for since Landon left because it seemed pointless to bake for just myself. Preposterous! If you're in need of a laugh, I think you'll find it here-- I may enjoy baking buuut, lets just say I have a lot to learn :)
As always, thank you so very much for being here ❤️
Big hugs,
Morgan

I’m obsessed with Wildflower Summer, Morgan. You have created such a beautiful concept ♥️
Thank you for growing with me along the way, wildflower friend ♥️
Man did you LIFT my spirits today. I got so teary eyed, but filled with joy and hope. Me and my best friend of 25 years split up and went separate ways on yesterday. I was feeling mighty mighty low today. 25 years...gone down the drain. We met at university. Both of us Writers. I was sitting here wondering, who am I going to hang out with now? After watching your video, the answer came: I'll tell ya who I'm going to hang out with: Me, Myself, and I. And have a good time: Baking, writing, and going on adventures, until I'm given another pal to hang out with, or the old chum returns. Love you Morgan. You have no idea the joy, peace, comfort, and inspiration you give to me and others. May you bake many many more little childlike cakes with fairy sprinkles. Hugs & Love 💞💙💛💚💖🧡
I'm sending you warmth, joy and contentment, Mary friend. Abrupt loneliness in such an intense way is so difficult. There is SO much value in getting comfortable with yourself, doing things alone. It's been really really hard for me but I can already see how important this growth is. I hope that there is always light in the lows and that your solo baking, writing and adventuring helps you to feel fully alive. Sending you hugs and love (and fairy sprinkles) 💞💙💛💚💖🧡
i do hope you're ok Mo xx 💜
You know how you say Mary Oliver poetry is good for your soul? That’s what your videos are to me 🩵 I feel like I’ve been talking to a friend or have been to therapy after watching your videos! Thank you Morgan!
This is an incredible compliment. Thank you, Lisa friend 🩵
🌺🌺🌻🌻🌷🌷Blooming together! 💐💐🌸🌸🌼🌼
Hello everyone, I’m a new subscriber (been watching for a couple of weeks). I’ve been finding so much comfort from all your videos, Morgan. I am slowly making my way through them all (minus vlogmas which I will watch in December). I’ve been having a challenging time with my health (mentally and physically) this year and your videos have provided comfort, light and happiness when I’ve most needed it. Thank you.
I love this cake. It looks amazing. I hope it brought you many days of joy. Here’s to your Wildflower Summer 🦋. I hope it is enlightening, joyful and empowering. I needed this reminder to step out of your comfort zone. I often think I am very happy in my comfort zone but in truth, 7 out of 10 times I am lonely and need to reach out to friends and family. Sometimes I know what I love doing by myself and other times I forget or want to do something with someone but fear they won’t want to do it. However I have to keep reminding myself to keep trying. To keep finding my joy.
My wish for everyone is to be happy, kind and always seeking knowledge and joy. I hope that anyone reading this manages to find joy and knowledge in their everyday life.
Sending you all so much love 💙🩵
Missing you Dear Morgan. You, Landon and Roo continue to be in my heart and prayers 💕🙏!!! I hope that all of you are well and enjoying your summer.😊
Blew out those candles with you ❤ I watch so many youtube bookish videos and knitting videos everyday, but yours is my most absolute favorite❤ I have to sit in my special place with something warm to drink, a knitting project and oh wonderous you. You bring peace, joy and happiness to me in every video. Keep doing you- you are doing an amazing job. Life is hard, but up to all of us to find some joy in each day and you are killing it!!!!!! Thank you😘🎂🎂🎂🎂
I miss you Morgan ❤ I hope things are going ok your way and your days are feeling brighter ☀️ I know we're all hanging out for your next video but make sure you're taking care of your magical, wonderful self first and we'll be here as soon as you are 🥰 Sending hugs ❤
Hey Morgan, I hope you’re doing okay. I know how hard it can be to be alone. A few years ago, my now husband and I had to spend most of the year apart from each other, and I lived in a remote area away from friends and family. That summer, someone I love got very sick which left me feeling so very lonely and helpless. That was a rough year. It was really hard to stay positive, but things got better. Something that helped me was realizing that we go through seasons of life, and that the loneliness, though awful feeling, wasn’t permanent. I hope you’re enjoying your Wildflower Summer and allowing yourself plenty of space for you and your feelings. Sending you lots of light and love 💛💛💛💛
Wildflower summer for the win ! 🌻🌼🌷
Morgan: "It can be difficult to enjoy your life, to make time to do the things that you love doing, to even KNOW what you love doing, and then actually to have the discipline to do those things because it's actually so much easier to sit and scroll on your phone. Or binge watch a show, or RUclips videos which I do all of the time! ...But How the Heck do we do it?"
Quiet: This is SO TRUE, Morgan!!! It IS hard to even KNOW what you love doing!!! I've been on a search for these things for a few years now!!! LIFE kept getting in the way until I turned 60 years old!!! Handicaps kept getting in the way. LIFE demands so much of us that there is so little energy to nurture and refresh and restore ourselves. We run with our tanks on Empty and wonder why we are tempted to be jaded, bitter, resentful and full of self pity!
Baking is a wonderful start!!! Keep going!!! We are cheering you on Morgan!!! I would like to encourage you to consider rethinking your book buying ban. I think that books are especially refreshing to you. You seem to glow when you are walking down the isles of Powell's enjoying all of the POSSIBILITIES!!! You see, as you age, possibilities become more limited because your body slows down and many other limitations mount upon you. Possibilites are so invigorating and life-giving instead of taking!!! However, if you do decide to give yourself some treats, make sure that they are really LIFE GIVING. Don't go for the introspective, self improvement books!!! Go for the things that LIGHT YOU UP!!! Children's books? Crafting books? Home decor? Famous Artists? Destination locations? Sewing your own clothing? A few journals or commonplace books to keep your thoughts from your Wildflower Summer and everything that you learn about MORGAN!!!
Know that you, Landon and Roo remain in my prayers.
Sending you so much love!
Quiet
Morgan - I miss seeing new videos pop up but more importantly am hoping you are ok. Best wishes for a beautiful summer! 🌻🌸🌼🌺
Blooming into the dream versions of ourselves. LOVE that!
I miss you when you don't post each week. I know how hard that is...just saying, I miss you❤
Hi Morgan
The Cake looks so very delicious - I love Raspberries.
Thank you for this very soothing relaxing Video - I reached through my TV Screen and I took a bite of your Cake - it was very delicious - Ha!
Have a very wonderful week of Reading and just relaxing.
Love you Morgan
❤️🤗🙏☀️☕️📖🔰📚❤️
The opera that started with the baking had me laughing outloud. 😂😂😂😂
I’m watching all four Wildflower Summer videos so far this morning, it’s raining a warm summer rain here in the UK and it’s the perfect start to my weekend. Thank you Mo xx
Being intentional with your time - this resonates so much with me. You are light) and I made a wish 💕😌
You're opening conversation rings so true with me☺ enjoy your vlogs🎂😀
Wow. I did not expect to get this emotional when blowing out the candles with you 🎂 Lots of love to you Morgan 💛
You have created a magical corner of the internet that brings comfort and happiness to around 80000 souls ☀️Incredibly inspiring🌻
Thank you so much, friend. There was the same kind of magic in that candle moment as there is in pockets full of stars 💛 Lots of love to you 🦋
Here's to those of us who blew the candles with you (aka expelled warm breath towards our phone screens! Haha). Your cake did look lovely in the end. Maybe it was warm when you put the icing on the first time and that's why it melted? Also, I'd recommend getting an offset spatula so you can have more freedom of movement for icing your next solo cake, which I hope comes soon! Not as soon as your next video tho! Here for this season!! 🌼☀️
Thank you so much for blowing out the candles with me, friend. Here's to solo baking! 🌼☀️
Cheers to you, yes it was fun 😊
And CAKE makes your videos special! Kidding...You wondrous you make every video very "cakey" special WITH SPINKLES! and a few raspbeez. WE LUV YOU SO. Happy 80K. 100K is around the corner...and hopefully that corner has a bookstore on it, too. Perhaps, Powells? Hahahaha. And honestly, if each of us got a slice- that 80,000 slice cake would be probably the world's largest. So...if you saved me a spinkle I would be happy.
This is the best 😘🎂💚💙💓 I love the perspective of seeing ourself like a friend. You are such a sweet ray of sunshine! so glad to have discovered you.
I've been alone for 7 years. I want to come home from work to my wife (girlfriend), wrap my arms around her, kiss her, and tell her that I love her. I dream of the 40's style. OMG, you were playing Maria Callas!!! Autumn is my most favorite season! It has such a special feel to it that I cannot put it into words. And, for over 20 years I have longed to have my own little cozy coffee/tea shop. I love the ambiance!
I hope you find what you’re looking for!
@@boglitt6918 Thank you.
I relate so much with this! I'm living by myself for the first time in my life at 25 years old. Tomorrow I have the opportunity to play volleyball with some people I know (but not well) and then to volunteer at an event after that. I'm soooo tempted to just stay home and "enjoy my Saturday" even though the last two evenings I've gotten bored. I am determined to have fun with PEOPLE tomorrow no matter the social anxiety! 😄
Hi beloved Morgan I was thinking about u today I haven't seen you post in a minute so I wanted to pop on and say I love your videos I love your positivity but also your transparency. I am also on a journey similar to you not depending on anyone which I have always been dependent on people. But now I have to do it with a toddler and without a driver's licence so that's a challenge but thankfully I live in NYC so it's not impossible. Your journey has been a big inspiration to me. Hope you are doing well . 💝
BALANCE IS THE KEYWORD TOO LIFE! THIS IS WHAT I HAVE LEARNED!
My husband was deployed for 7 months last year and it was extremely difficult. You re-learn to be independent with certain tasks but also learn to love and appreciate the time alone. Being apart is challenging but I can truly say that our relationship became even better when he returned because you learn to appreciate the little things again. It’s okay to not have good days. Proud of you! 🤍🌸
This beautiful video made me think of one of my favorite Mary Oliver quotes, you might have heard of her :P, which is "Joy is not made to be a crumb" it's part of a short prose poem but ohh, so so true!
“If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.”
The whole baking moment with the fancy music was just dreamy and then the after and your laughter at your cake cracked me up. 😂
Turned out looking yum.
Congratulations on 80,000!
80,000! I may have felt slightly silly blowing out candles on a video cake, but I did it anyway and it made me smile 😊 So happy to be a part of wildflower summer ❤❤❤
Hahaha I'm so glad you blew the candles out with me!! Here's to wildflower summer-- you're blossoming, friend! ❤
Just recently I have realized that I as well don't really know how to enjoy life, since I have never focused on myself, and now that you have started this little series, I feel encouraged and motivated to start learning about myself, treating myself and, hopefully, loving myself.
You're not alone in this journey, Morgan, we're in this together!♡
This is wonderful, flower moon friend. Here's to enjoying life ♡
❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this sweet video. I' m in a bad period for my family and your videos give me peace and make me smile. With love from Italy.
Your cake turned out beautiful in the end🌸 It looks so yummy😊 You’re the absolute sweetest Morgan friend. You truly deserve all of your accomplishments❤
Hoping you are doing ok. Just enjoying more of your vlogs. Thanks 🌸.
Oh my gosh, you are the cutest ever! You made me crack up with your cake critique! And then tear up when you wanted us to think of ourselves as we would a friend. I know I'm always too hard on myself, wishing I was someone else instead. I will try to be kinder to me. You are an inspiration! 💗💗
Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
Life gets better and better when we learn to follow our joy and intuition more and more every day as well as feeling, working through and releasing our unwanted emotions.
I'm inspired to bake again now! A sweet treat and a good book truly lifts the spirits. Sending you lots of positivity and support as you learn and grow during your Wildflower Summer.
Lovelyyyyyy💜🌺🍰🍰
We celebrate you! 🎉❤ Lots of love x.
What I think it's one of the great qualities of your channel is that you don't put a burden on your subscribers.
What I see most these days is creators complaining about the subscribers not watching the videos or doing something to blow up their content, and they don't do it in a bad intention, but I feel that it becomes much more of a obligation than a pleasure.
And in you Morgan, my friend, I feel so much joy and happiness to come here and watch another video of yours, you celebrate us and we certainly celebrate YOU!
Thank you for being so kind to us, I discovered your channel on the pandemic and it keeps bringing me so much joy till this day, my friend❤🇧🇷
Your childlike joy is so precious! Congratulations on 80,000 subscribers, Morgan! 🎉
Thank you so much, Colleen friend!
Seeing you bake in a dreamy state was hilarious. Thank you for making me laugh! Beautiful video. 💓
Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
Now I have a craving for 🎂 😋 🍰
Ahh the 80 surprise made me cry. We love you Morgan, you dhow your heart and vulnerability to the world... that is special.
I have just found your channel and have subscribed and spent the whole evening watching your vlogs. I love love love them. Your honesty and smile make me happy. So happy to have found your channel. Thank you!
I cried at the wish part ❤... You said it just fine, "what would you wish for you, if you were your best friend" it really made me cry, because often I treat myself with no care, etc...
Thank you, and I'm so glad to be part of this 80 000 🎉💕
You created a beautiful community with your love, passion and honesty. So, thanks Mo❤ PS. I blew the candles with youuuuu❤
Time has passed faster than I thought since he left. Yes I want to go through a blooming time with you, only I’m 70 😂. I’ve been down lately and want to enjoy life even now.
I just find your channel not to long but he on a walking journey for him and his health and for both of you and he will be back and he not want you to feel like that 💙🤗💙
I love Freddies ❤️ definitely something I miss about home!
Its almost midnight and i wanted to go to sleep but i wanted to see ur video and listen to u before i go to bed, u help me have a good dream.
Morgan you are a wonder! You make even the most mundane tasks seem magical and you can always brighten my days (bad or good)! I’m wishing you well on your Wildflower Summer!!
Hi Morgan! I’m an old lady and I still spend far too much time doing things for other people and family members. Even in retirement, you make me realize that I need to do what brings me joy. I spend too much time pleasing other people which basically makes me sick and saps me of any joy. I am exhausted. I want to have some fun. I love to bake too! I think I’ll bake something 😊. Thank you Morgan.
Wow. When I was reading what you wrote it sounds exactly like my life too. I too am retired and end up doing so much for family members there isn’t much time for myself. I’m too tired to do something for myself. I decided that tomorrow I am spending the whole day doing what I enjoy. I’m turning off my phone and having a day just for myself. I think we need to do that sometimes to get our energy back and remember that it’s okay to focus on ourselves.
I think it happens to our age group. Let’s step back and do some little, but special,thing for ourselves so we have our happy energies to help those we love! I try to find time to build birdhouses. Crazy, but true….the pandemic helped me find that joyful time.
Sadly, I am right there with you. I feel that women in general often loose themselves in caring for their families and friends. It's been so long that I've thought about myself, I'm not even sure what brings me joy. It's time I find out, and start taking care of me! Good luck to all on your journey! This has been a lovely reminder, that we all deserve a joy filled life.❤
Thank you Morgan for always putting a smile on my face even when life tried to take it away from me. Giving you a big hug too! We can be great even when life is hard ❤
Your videos are so inspirational! I just love when I see an upload notification. Congrats for your 80k subscribers, Morgan. You deserve even more. Kisses from Brazil! 😘 🇧🇷
“Baking in my dreams” made me laugh 😂😂🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 The music was perfect 🤩😂
Thanks for sharing your world with us have a wonderful weekend 😀 😊
The ending of this video was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
Morgan, you are doing a lovely job on Wildflower Summer. I hope you know how truly joyful it is to share in it and cheer you on! Great job on that cake, by the way. Sending love! 💕 🌼🌻🌷☀️
Last night I couldn't sleep because of mental breakout. Morning I was really upset but by chance I watched your video and my mood changed😮😮
Your videos are like theapy. Thanks Morgan for making videos and sharing with us.❤
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
You are so stinking adorable!! I can't even. 😍
💛💛💛 Thank you for helping us to wish for the life of our dreams xx happy 80k!!
A tip regarding cake - bake a normal sized cake, and freeze half/ 3/4, whatever you wish. Then when you feel like sweet treats, you can just get the remaining cake out of the freezer and let it defrost, and voilà!
I watched this while eating the last piece of cheesecake I baked myself (I’m not a professional baker either but this cheesecake was so delicious *brags*), and I blew out the candle with you. Congratulations Mo on 80K!!! Can’t believe it’s been 3 YEARS since I stumbled upon your cozy corner of the internet, and will be here for as long as I can. You’re doing amazing, being alone can be scary, but you’re taking it like a champ. The next few months will pass by quickly, but I hope they’ll be filled with amazing memories for you! Can’t wait for 100K of us!!! ❤
Wildflower Summer, the series couldn't have a better name, the flower that faces adversity and the roughness of the elements and thrives and bloom anyway, all by herself.
The music while doing the cake 😂, you have a great sense of humor.
Congrats on having a community with 80k wondrous wildflower friends.
Morgan, I think the reason we love you is that you inspire us but you also allow us to be ourselves in all the ups and downs of this life. Because we can be your friend, not just follow you. I also fall into nasty habits after years of eating disorders if I’m alone and have to be soooo careful and intentional. Sending you all the love ❤❤
Thank you so much, Morgan! So many people talk about romanticizing your life (which is great) but so few talk about the effort and discipline that it takes. It's comforting to hear someone with so charming and whimsical a life acknowledge that.
Hii
I am Indian and you
Maybe your cake had not turned out what you expected the first time by adding more frosting and brings out your childhood that I mostly do bring my childhood back with nostalgia and congratulations for 80,000 subscribers and also you have a beautiful smile and blessings to you.
I love your cake, and congratulations on getting 80k subscribers! We all love you, and want to stay with you to help you, whilst you are on your own with Rue, so that Landon will know you are ok. Love and Blessings and hugs to you from Jilly & Madge the black rescue greyhound, from a hot West Devon, England. xxx
I'll take another piece please!!! Lol! Soooo cute you are! 😍
I understand this. I always feel like I alone am not worth enjoying things. I always feel like I need to share it with someone to make it worth it. This is where my discipline fails is when I think I am not worth it.
Congrats on 80,000! 🎉
You yourself are really special and worth every moment of being happy, as that is when you are best able to share your happiness with others❤️
Oh Morgan. Thank you so much for this video. It was definitely exactly what I needed to hear and see today. Watching you take care of yourself in a gentle and supportive way is inspiring, especially knowing how hard it has been with the ups & downs of your Wildflower summer so far. The concept you suggested when blowing out candles, of wishing for myself what I would wish for a friend, really hit home with me. I hope we can all love, support and learn to be as forgiving towards ourselves as we are towards those friends/family we care for the most. Happy 80,000! ❤ Enjoy your cake!
yessss! rustic is the way to go !
What a sweet sweet video. Thank you Morgan and congratulations 🎉🎂 🍰 🕯 xxx
Thank you so much, friend! 🥳 xxx
You're so cute with that cake and the cake itself is lovely:) I'm glad you liked it. And glad to be one of these 80 thousand people, congratulations on the achievement! Hope more people will find your channel and enjoy it❤️
I get so much fun with this video, I couldn´t stop laughing at the cake process 😂.
Thanks for this new series and for allowing us to be part of your process, youre awesome.
I like the idea that we are flowers and that we are blooming together. Love you Morgan
Not long till 100 K! Just lovely ❤!
The music is so good on your videos. I just laughed out loud when the baking was so magical and dreamlike and than the result hahaha Who cares it's about the taste! ;)
Watching this video made me realise how grateful i am that i can watch your videos and find comfort in a friend who does some incredible things. I have been watching your videos for almost three years now and i am so happy that i found you. Congratulations on the 80k Mo, we (your subscribers/friends) love you and cherish you very much. 🌻💛💫
P.s. the cake looks absolutely DELIGHTFUL i might try making it myself ☁️
Dear Morgan,
my last days weren‘t so great. I didn‘t catch much sleep and had a phase where I was overthinking so much about everything. All of that made me sick to my stomach. But then today I felt like I needed to check your channel just for watching your videos because they always make me feel better. I watched this video very mindful and I just smiled through. I needed a calm down and you gave me that today. Thank you so much!❤
I love that your embracing what truely makes you happy. I am also smiling and sometimes have happy tears as you descover yourself a little more. Now I want to go bake lol.
Thank you so much, Christina friend
I always have some finger nails with confetti nail polish and some fingers with black nail polish.😊 lovely vlog❤
Congrats on 80k! I'm glad to be one of them. Cheers to you my friend!
It is so beautiful that I can go to my hiding place and enjoying my peaceful. I feel alone sometimes, but no one understands me very well. I love drawings, doodle, and enjoying nature. I'm sad all the time and I really don't understand why. I like the way you do, some people don't appreciate me some do but nice video.
I delight in your videos more than you know! Thanks for making my day 🎉!
Oh Morgan! ❤ Congratulations on 80.000 subscribers! 🎉
Your videos mean so much to me. You always have so many kind words. And it is always very good and healing to hear if a stranger from around the world tells me that I deserve love, that I am worthy to be happy. And honestly? I always tear up, when your outro comes. It makes so happy and kinda loved. Especially if I didn’t have great day, your videos always light up my mood and help me feel better again. Thank you for every video that you upload and for everything that you do.
Love and a big hug from half way around the world ❤
🎉🎉🎉🎉 oh what fun to play with inner child Morgan and blow out candles with kindred friends 🥹❤️🦄🧜♀️ cheers to a joy filled week eating your cake with bitter coffee and celebrating your wins! ❤️ 😘 love Laurie
Good morning, just wanted you to know I’m thinking of you and sending you summer girl power!!!!!
You had me giggling all the way through! Congrats on 80,000 subscribers!! Can’t wait for more wildflower summer 🌻
Thank you for this.
I have been struggling with doing things that actually bring me joy or even trying to find what that is, and your video came to me at the perfect time.
Don’t ever doubt your work, it touches people when they need it. ❤
Awesome video Morgan, you made me smile so much!! And I did blow the candles with you. Congratulations on 80K!
Congratulations on 80k! And I absolutely get that excited about cake. It's cake! It's worth getting excited about!
Congratulations Morgan 🍰 enjoy your morning coffee & cake ❤
Thank you for always succeeding in cheering me up my loveliest Morgan🌸🩷🌸🩷 Hope your dream wish comes true too and thank you again for all the magic 🪄✨ you bring into our lives!! I am wishing you successes and happiness and smiles all the way☺️☺️ Sending big big hugs 🤗
Congratulations, Morgan!🌸🍀🌼🌺❣️
What a cute video Morgan! Your cake looked cute and delicious! 🍰🍰
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
That dramatised baking montage had me crying 😂
The cake is adorable! 💗 You did more than share a cake, you shared inspiration and peacefulness . Thank you!!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
you are doing brilliantly. i have to say i’m slightly envious. two dogs, two children, chickens and a garden to upkeep.. six months alone seems like bliss some days but they also give me purpose. that cake looks beautiful ❤ xx
Thank you Morgan! currently going through a break-up and seeing you enjoying living alone despite the ups and downs just brought me so much hope for the future. You touch people in ways you can't even imagine. I blew the candles with you
You are absolutely incredible, friend. I'm sending you some warmth, confidence and contentment
Trying to bloom this summer ❤️💐 I’ve had a lot of grief and anxiety this year and I want to discover myself again!
