Dear Ali, What a lovely decorated cover! Oh wow, the ten of swords really is something in many tarot decks, but in the hidden realm it always shocks me! Thank you for reading it as overcoming trouble, I always thought of it as being in a state of desperation. You are such a great teacher and I love to hear your thoughts! Sending hugs ❤
Ah, another wonderful video. Love your collages and your reflections. I'm sad you feel you have low self esteem. You have made a positive impact on everyone watching your videos and that's pretty powerful.
Thank you so much! It’s so lovely to think that my low self esteem is not justified. I have a notebook in which I make a note of positive, empowering comments I receive in response to videos I share. There are many entries in there from you and I’d like you to know how grateful I am for your consistent kindness, compassion and inspiration! Sending you love, Ali xxx
What an absolutely lovely thing to say! ❤️ Thank you so much. I just want to express how much such a lovely comment means to me! Thank you! Sending you huge hugs, Ali xxxx
Hi Ali! Lovely to watch you being creative and hearing your thoughts..an idea for your focus of the week might be the grit and determination you had to survive through your past and being strong for daughter(s) fighting to provide for them xxx
That is such a good idea Cassia and so insightful! I will definitely reflect on that in my personal journal. I’ll have to think carefully before deciding whether or not to share that kind of reflection on my channel. I get so scared of triggering others! But thank you so much for your suggestion which reflects your capacity for compassion and empathy Cassia…I am so grateful! Sending you hugs, Ali xxxx
@@dabblinginjournals you are such a beautiful soul, dear friend and I value your words of kindness. The choice to share is obviously yours however a point to consider is that as it comes a a journal, it doesn’t have to be shared in order to allow you to really dive deep into this very personal journey of reflection and meditation. The main purpose should be that it serves you. I feel from what you have shared (which has been inspiring) that this is something that you could find so useful and therapeutic to possibly even discuss with your therapist and could maybe even overlap into the book they suggested exploring the different sides of you. I am an empath for sure and want nothing more than to minister and help those around me. Love and hugs, Cassia xxxxx
Thanks so much! 😊 I can never quite decide whether I love coffee or wine more 🤣🤣🤣 A day when I get to have both is just perfect 🤣🤣🤣 Sending you hugs, Ali xxx
“Light Seer’s” is my favourite tarot deck. It helps me to focus on the positives in myself. I love to review my Light Seer’s journal also as many times I want. It so refreshing. I want to let go of my past and focus on moving forward. I also added monthly healing quotes to remind me that it is ok to heal.
I love the Light Seer’s tarot too. A wonderfully inspiring deck. You couldn’t be more right! It is totally ok to heal. Focusing on healing is so important. Anything we can do for self care and healing is so valuable. I also love the positive affirmations in the light seer’s deck. So helpful when I’m feeling down. Sending you my very best wishes, Ali xxxx
Oooh Ali….that card is a bit confronting! I will be very curious to hear your research on the themes related to it and I wonder if it will change my feelings on the imagery? I always come away from your videos with something to ponder so I will give the quiz a go for a bit of fun. Meanwhile, I really super duper love your new insert decoration…the colours and the bits you chose are all really lovely. Just gorgeous! Hope you have a relaxing weekend and, dare I say, fulfilling one. Sending my love 😘 Louise
Oh Louise…every time I read a message from you it makes me smile, and often chuckle! You are an absolute sweetheart! So kind, caring, compassionate and truly thoughtful. You are the other side of the world yet you are still able to offer me such a lot of valuable support! I’m truly grateful! Sending love, Ali xxx
That’s good to hear! It’s lovely to think a video I’ve shared might improve my viewer’s mood. I prefer fall to winter. Winter can be pretty I know but I hate the cold and the slippy ice! My favourite season is definitely summer. Whilst I love fall colours, I prefer to be as warm as possible! 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for watching and I send you my very best wishes, Ali xxx
Ah the 'safe place' conundrum! I do that all the time! 😅 Also I love the idea of the dampened cloths with tea tree oil, that is a great tip! Hope you have a lovely day!
Thank you! I have received your email, thank you! I was hoping to make happy mails this week…but time ran out lol! Hopefully next week as I want to beat the Christmas postal rush! Sending you my best wishes as always, Ali xxx
Hey sweet Ali, nice to see you love the coffee stickers. Don't put them in your stickerrelease book because they don't stick very well in that. I found out myself and was a bit grompie on it because that big size stickerpaper isn't handy. Well. You made a lovely spread and cover. ❤❤loved it and i was a bit scared too of the face. 😅 Maybe you tell us the meaning of the card. See next time. 😍
Thank you for the advice….i won’t put the stickers in my sticker release book. I’ve been having fun using them in my common place book too! And I’ve found a wooden box which is the perfect size to keep them in! My dear friend….thank you again so much for sending me such beautiful stickers. I really appreciate your care and kindness, sending HUGE hugs, Ali xxxx
Thank you so much! My olive is old. It was one of the original olives that were released in 2017. So it’s shiny because it’s had a lot of use! Leather develops a patina over time from use. So the more you handle your Travelers Notebook the shinier it becomes! If you want to speed up the process then you can use a leather balm to rub into the leather! I confess that I do stroke my notebooks lol…weird I know! So they get shiny 🤣🤣🤣😔 Sending you my best wishes, Ali xxxx
That’s very true. However the quiz was simply inviting reflections on your own experience. So I found it interesting as it showed me that I think about myself in a negative way and suggested that I shouldn’t do that! Having said that…I totally agree with you. Whenever you do this kind of quiz it is important not to take the results to heart. Thank you for pointing this out. Sending you my best wishes, Ali xx

I am not a big fan of fall but your fall decor puts me in a better mood for fall. 😊

Could you tell me how can I do dampened cloths, please? I can find the correct form to do them. Thanks

Don’t listen to a quiz about your life being meaningful. Only you can best judge your own life.
That’s very true. However the quiz was simply inviting reflections on your own experience. So I found it interesting as it showed me that I think about myself in a negative way and suggested that I shouldn’t do that! Having said that…I totally agree with you.
