    Great thoughts! With regard to getting over art blocks, what works for me is to give myself permission to make bad art, that if I don’t like it no one needs to see it, and I can paint over it. Also, long ago I stopped caring about other people’s opinions about my work. Not everyone is your market, but your true market will never find your art if you never make it. Thanks for sharing. All the best for 2025.

    Liking water with coffee in it. Made me smile. I'm with you there. It's the same for me with fruit. For example, grapes. I like my grapes in the form of Merlot. A lovely post with some excellent profound statements. Have a well deserved 2025, Imi.

    Wow! It is like you are here, invisible, and watching me in my life. I am saving this video to watch when I am frustrated. My worst enemy is myself it seems.
    I also think it may not be modern thinking to want to take care of a man. The huge difference is if they are genuine in their appreciation, then that is motivation to keep doing it. Every relationship I have had has been basically one sided with them being the one who benefits. Now I am 70 and am not able to even want to try again to love.
    I am so glad your videos appeared in my feed. I am going to share this with my sister. You are a lovely person inside and out.

    • @TheUrbanmeister

      'My worst enemy is myself it seems...' This resonates with me. Those of us who do not think ourselves above others invariably beat ourselves up. There are many labels, one is 'impostor syndrome.' There are others. There are many causes. Some self inflicted. Some inflicted by others.
      Of the number of successful, strong, fabulous women I've met, nearly every one of them has mentioned their 'impostor syndrome'. So undeserved. So not fair. So used by others sometimes to 'control' them, their feelings, their self confidence. There's a response to that but it comprises a naughty word beginning with 'f' with the second word being 'you.'
      You sound strong and being strong you will live your life by your rules. I like that thought. I wish you well.

      Darling Penny, it seems to me that we have had similar life paths. It has made us strong, resilient and resourceful.
      Up until I met my darling boy every single one of my relationships were, like yours, one-sided.
      I know if I were to ever lose him , I would never find another or even look for one. Much love ❤️ Imi xxx

    A fine list! I’ve set up a journal of sorts too, though I haven’t logged anything yet. I seem to have lots more ideas than I have follow-through. 😩 Imi, you’ve made SUCH tremendous progress in your personal life! I was flabbergasted when you started chronicalling your many challenges & mishaps from earlier years bc you are so confident on camera & so polished. I’m happy for you that you’ve overcome those trials & have triumphed. And is there anything you can’t do? Heavenly days! You’re an artist, a podiatrist, a designer, a mother, & more! Wow!❤️🤸🏼‍♂️🎉🌈

      To acknowledge your first sentence...I haven't set up my journal yet either. However, I'm waiting for Katie to come up tomorrow so that we can set up both our journals together. I am logging my rowing in my calendar though because I want to keep it accurate. The plus thing I kept to this week when I did my Waitrose shop today, was that I omitted going down the Cereal and Biscuit aisle and I count that as a massive win! 🏆 as for anything I can't do? Well since I'll give most things a try at least once, there are tonnes of things that are no longer on my radar but I'm forever curious and if I see something that I like then I will see if I can make it myself. Ooh...there's definitely one thing I'm rubbish at, it's sewing and making my own clothes. Hence the decluttering of my sewing room video! 🤣. Much love to you and yours darling, Imi xxx

    Thank you for another meaningful and insightful video. I just wanted to add that when people judge us for making wrong choices they are not considering that not only we did the best with what we knew but also we are very programmed in certain ways from our childhood. Like you I ended up with uncaring relationships but not to place blame on my childhood but the reality is that a father teaches his daughter how high to set the bar for the man she ends up marrying. My father was a very angry, bitter, mean alcoholic that treated my mother horribly and therefore gave us a sad example there and he treated us with no love as well so hence my ensuing wrong choices. Like you I have done much work on myself and yes I forgive everyone from the past but the hardest one to forgive was myself until I really understood much of the internal work and growth I needed to do. Anyhow, sorry for rambling, I admire you and think one of the most amazing qualities a person can demonstrate is the ability to stay kind after enduring all kinds of ill treatment as we have. God bless you and a very Happy New Year to you and your family!

      Thank you darling for such an insightful comment. As I always say, it is easy to judge if you haven't walked in someone's shoes.
      I am so glad that we both have come so far on our journeys. I once read somewhere "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" and that is so true for both of us and all those other ladies who have been through or are currently going through the same thing.
      By watching videos like mine and reading comments like yours, it gives hope and reassurance that "This Too Shall Pass" is something to repeat often and believe in. Much love Imogen ❤️ xx

    Dear Imogen : I sent you an email last week saying that I had just discovered your channel and was hooked. I find that I have a lot in common with you but unfortunately have never found a lasting love relationship like you have. I am so happy that you found your darling boy. You certainly deserve it after the bad relationships you have had in the past. ....I have been checking out your older videos and found that you like heavy metal. I laughed because my favorite band is Led Zeppelin. I am 72 and still love to dance to Rock and Roll......Just letting you know that I love your channel and I am enjoying all your older videos as I discover more about you. I find myself relaxing to your beautiful voice and all that has happened in your life. Take care Imi!! Love from Canada.....Ona Pelletier.

      When I at last was found by my darling boy, I had embraced being on my own and having a single life...it's so strange how life is isn't it.
      I have often said that my darling boy's late wife steered him toward me as she knew that I would look after him as she had done. He is not into all "That airy fairy stuff" so discounts my theory but I don't mind. Have the loveliest day darling. Much love Imogen ❤️ xxx

    Hi Imi. I'm doing a viewing exchange with you this evening 🤗 and what a great video I picked! I have so many thoughts and questions after watching this one. Firstly, do you have a link to that great list of statements? I would love to print it out. Secondly, how coincidental that you talked about getting stressed about posting on YT after our exchange yesterday/today and my latest video 🙃. I also have digestive issues and have made my own kefir but didn't see much change. Does it work for you?

      I did actually write them all out in the description, below the video so you could copy and paste them onto a document and print it out if you wanted?
      I have no proof that my home made kefir is helping with my gut microbiome but from all that I've read and the research I've done, home made kefir contains so many more active good things in it than the shop bought stuff so I'm content with that. I drink mine unsweetened, how about you?
      I am about to embark on something new to earn some passive income. Jo Willdsmith is going to teach me how to do Print On Demand or POD for short.
      We'll be making videos about it and as I find new things quite challenging to learn, she's going to have her work cut out.😳 That said, I've eventually learned how to RUclips, edit and talk to my camera [that last one is still a work in progress] so I'm looking forward to learning how I can make a little bit more money for my cause whilst I'm sleeping and doing other things. It's exciting! Love from moi en Surrey xx
