52 Weeks To Change My Life 

Ashley, I am so grateful that you are doing this series! As a novice at ASL, this kind of casual video is invaluable to me learning more. Thanks and you're doing great so far!!!

Ashley your chatty vlogs are so helpful to learn sign language. Thank you for posting again. Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

The longer the video the better! 😁 I know it’s harder to edit the longer they are. 👍🏼 You made me think about where I want to be. Definitely not there. Life has a way of happening that changes things. But everyday God gives me breath I can keep trying. Great video. 🙏🏼

When you said your goal to write down your goals daily, it reminded me of one of my favorite mantras. One of my favorite author/self-help gurus said, "If you fulfill your obligations everyday, you don't need to worry about the future." I'm only 20 and no where near where I one day hope to be or even really wish I was, but your video has been really inspiring! Thank you for sharing so much with us :)

YOU GOT THIS! Keep inspiring your fans. You'll get used to it in no time. Cheers!

Ashley, you're absolutely crushing it! I recently tuned in to a sermon where I was introduced to the "First Fifteen." It's where you give God the first 15 minutes of your day. 5 minutes of prayer, 5 minutes of Bible reading and 5 minutes of worship. Looking forward to an update on your goals!

Very proud of you! You’re making great strides ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Enjoyed watching this! It is always good to spend time with God.

Thank you for sharing this journey, Ashley. You are learning to overcome fears and becoming more disciplined. I've seen improvement every week. Good for you! I am trying to improve my receptive skills and watching your videos is really helping.

You did great 😊👍 keep it up. Listen, there are so many things we can easily stress over, but if we take a step back and look at the big picture, nothing is that big of a deal as long as we've got food to eat, a home to live in and people to love 🤗. Imagine yourself ahead at 50...you don't want to look back and wonder why you stressed your young years away 😉. Just give yourself permission to not have rules, be free and enjoy whatever each new day offers to you. ❤️

Love the journal cover too. I learn new signs from you with every vlog thanks to all your hard captioning work, thank you!

Love this!! You seemed way more comfortable in this video so keep doing what you're doing!! It was perfect!!! ❤❤😍 loved your goals, you're really making me want to do a vision board too 😁

YOu are so fantastic! I love how you are sharing your journey, it takes real guts. One thing that I found really helped improve my life was to add 5 things to my gratitude journal every night. Can be big or small things, but helps me go to bed with a grateful heart, which translates while you sleep to a grateful mind. Has made a world of difference for me. Keep filming, I am learning soo much from you, you are such an inspiration - keep going girl!

we are all happy to see you back and at it. wonderful work and thank you again for allowing us the opportunity to tag along on this journey of yours. we got your back and look forward to each video. it's nice to see you back and excited. Sincerely, all of us

Ashley just keep going!!! I see your improvement. Thanks a lot for sharing a little bit of your life 😊

Ok, I got 5 signs and learned 5 new ones. I love watching your videos and seen you get more comfortable in front of the camera is amazing!

Apsolutly love this!! Your definitely improving every week. I look forward to seeing them now. And following your journey ❤️🤟♻️

5 minutes, 12 minutes, 2 hours, doesn't matter to me; I love watching your vlogs. You're a beautiful woman inside and out. I look forward to the rest of the year to see your videos and learning more ASL.

You’re such an inspiration to some many people out there just by having your channel. You do an amazing job with your videos no matter what the structure. Please keep making videos! ❤️ We are all rooting for you!

I kept checking every day since your last video to see if you had posted a new video yet! I love your videos! I can tell that you were much more comfortable this time; praise God! I will continue to pray for you sister! You’re doing a great job!

Very nice vlog! I am impressed with your list of goals. One thing you might consider is to not put the whole weight of all of those goals on yourself every day. Maybe in your goal journal keep a list of your goals for the year, and maybe update (or at least reaffirm) them monthly. But daily list the goals you are targeting *for that day*. For example, instead of "declutter everything", try "declutter top desk drawer". Smaller chunks will be less intimidating and easier to tackle! In any case, hang in there and keep sharing!

We're so proud of you for continuing to make more videos, Ashley! that was one of your goals and you're doing it!! We are always here to support you and your endeavors.

I am a hearing person who is interested in ASL, I have been watching your videos for a while now. I think you are quite talented and very passionate. Keep making the videos from the heart!!!

All your goals, my goodness, totally relatable! I might have to steal some of them. XD Thank you sharing your journey with us. The vision board is a great idea for staying focused. I need to write my goals down and do a vision board, myself. I came here for the ASL, but I stayed for the genuine content. Keep 'em coming! Happy belated birthday!! 2020 is your year!

Thank you for making these videos. I find them so helpful. I am going to try your idea of writing goals each morning ( not as many as you, I’m not there yet) and checking them in the evening....

Happy Belated Birthday! It is ok! Everyone eat over a little bit! lol. Look like you are on right track and know what you want to do with your goals.

I love your videos. Short long you are just so awesome. It's nice to know you arnt alone with struggling with where you want to be. I also just turned 30 and I'm not happy. BUT everyday I try and do at least 1 thing towards a goal. That's way easier said then done. Keep on fighting the good fight. AND have a great weekend!

I feel like I'm not where i want to be either and i feel like i lost a lot of my "good" habits. I wanna do this as well!! I don't do vlogs or videos but you inspired me to keep a journal or some sort of record to see weekly improvements. Thanks!

I’m currently learning asl and I love watching your videos in my free time. Never stop making them. You are really inspiring!

so proud of you girl, I look forward to your videos so much

I should try a vision board. Also, when working out, it's often better to watch how tight your pants are than watch the scale. A scale can't show if your muscle mass has changed.

Love this! I love the goals you have. If only I could get a morning routine down.. lol. I feel the same way on my birthdays. Food should totally be enjoyed! Pasta is my frenemy. lol. I always tell myself, if it doesn't look healthy make it more colorful with fruit and veg! Even on a fully plant-based diet I'm a sucker for carbs lol. Change up the ingredients or try cooking something in a different way. Pinterest is amazing for this! Anyways, I think it is so cool you decided to do this and to share your journey. I'm excited to see your progress. Happy belated Birthday and Thank you so much!

I'm proud of you for pushing yourself! Keep going, soon you will look back at all the progress you have made and you will have the feeling that it wasn't as bad as I had imagined. I too am working for pushing myself into situations, I just push the anxiety voice behind me and I move forward. And as always thank you for sharing and helping us all learn asl.

I just wanted to let you know I love these progress videos. They are helping me out a lot 💜 I hope you achieve everything you want

It’s okay that you took longer then you wanted to. Relax more dont pressure yourself with a time limit. We love watching you. God is working things out for you. You will have what you desire.

The best way to conquer your fear is to do it everyday! Eventually it will be so automatic like tying your shoelace! Practice by vlogging on a daily basis. Just talk about what you did for the day. It’s easy to talk about your passions, so start there!

Wow I love this idea. Keep at it. Hope you're in a much happier place and you feel encouraged by your progress. 💖✨

I really love watching your videos Ashley. The honesty in your struggles and successes is so sincere. Also I love pizza too! I am strictly a beginner in ASL and have been for over 3-years now (it’s hard being old...69 now...and a slow learner). But I’m always re-inspired after watching your video to try and pick up and remember a sign or two. I have a question, how much time does it take to edit a 15-minute video and add the captions? Those really help me to see the flow of the signing. Thanks again and I hope you and your family stay safe and healthy while we all wait out this pandemic.

You definitely have a purpose behind all the work you are doing, maybe it's the Man upstairs steering you to something bigger than you anticipated. It is great to see deaf woman proactively pursuing the Word of God. Perhaps start a Deaf woman conference?Bible study?? There are a lot of different directions you can go from where you are. Your goals are the baby steps to something bigger. Keep Proverbs 3:5-6 in your heart. I see a big plan for you in the future. Good luck, Ashley, and God Bless!

This is better. Enjoyed this video, you’ve come quite a ways already! I like your goals. I feel like something that has always helped me in life is to get out there and travel and meet people! Doesn’t have to be far and expensive. Nice realization on your weight loss goals. You look great, like you said keep an eye on it is all..everybody does 🙂Looking fwd to next one.

so proud of you! YOU CAN DO ITTTTT! go ash!

I'm working on de cluttering too. Great goals.

Happy Belated Birthday!!!! On my birthday I always eat 3-6 slices of cake too- I thought I was the only one😢thanks for today’s video!

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad that this was not so stressful for you. :)

Aw she’s so cute. I love her. May god bless you you are a terrific person. I can tell your spirit.

congratulations on getting the video filmed and up! Way to Go!

Happy Belated Birthday. Thank you for sharing. It's so great that you have set goals and are working towards achieving them. My birthday is in a few weeks. Today I wrote certain goals I want to accomplish by it and also after. So I am feeling this video.

Nice job, keep up the good work. Love that you're not afraid to talk about God. I've been trying to lose weight too and I had the same kind of week as you, no weight lost. Now that it's a new week I can working toward dropping a few pounds. Got to just keep going. I hear what you're saying about life not being what you expect it to be. Mine is the same, but I try to remind myself that I am very blessed and I have a lot to be thankful for. Even though my life is not what I imagined it would be at this point God has brought me to this point for a reason and I am thankful. Keep up the good work, stay positive and enjoy all that you have. God bless.

I love watching these, 💫

Thank you!

Great video. Thanks for sharing 😊

Keep filming and you will not get nervous anymore keep up the good work you're doing fine I'm learning sign language ASL I'm better at giving sign then reading sign so thank you for your videos helps me to Read Sign better

You have over 3k views in just one day!!! You’re lit!!! 🔥

You should pick a topic and talk to us about that, maybe even do a vlog here and there. Forget the time. Engage in the audience we are here for you. 🤟❤❤

Have you ever read the book Atomic Habits? It discusses the difference between goals and systems and argues that systems are more effective than goals at helping you get where you want to go. Considering the fact that you have been bothered for three years about not getting where you want to be, I think you might find the book helpful.

Thanks

te sigo desde caracas , estoy aprendiedo asl con tu vlog sigue adelante con tus metas , god bles you

You're amazing I love the natural videos. Follow your heart 💜❤💚💛🧡💙

nice job!

When I was 15 a girl I was in love with told me she had a dream about me, now at that moment my life changed. Instead of the girl I loved finally telling me how she felt I said to myself OMG I had the same dream and that was that. One night a few weeks late I was at a party and all my friends were awake/asleep and I was wide awake and I realised I could hear what they were thinking. I was so good at this I had a girlfriend trained to speak to me, it was like a Jedi gift all I ever wanted to be. Anyway after developing it, I realised if the military got the frequency it could win wars, so I never went public and just forgot about it. I always wondered if deaf people had the same mental and linguistic thinking but reading is the same for deaf people. Imagine, having a conversation its not mind to mind, ive observed the distances are too great its in the ether. Has to be. Its coming and its around the corner.

such nice hand writing

You could've tricked me you don't look your age by the way and I'm learning so much just by looking at your hands move and i practice on myself in a mirror but it never comes out the way i hope it does so i take it one word at a time. Thanks boss lady for your videos

Nice to see you again Ashley. You are getting better each week. What's your weight? (I won't tell anybody).

exciting exciting yay yay

It's OK if you make the longer, you did speak out of your chest and I am glad you are getting better and stay positive but that's not enough for you... What is the point that "you are unhappy" and "you were not where you wanted to be"? What do these mean? We never judge you, you need to speak out more and more like the details and same time, you are helping the people and yourself for better. Don't forget you are not alone.

no shy brave l am understanding clear just good takecare Orestes Delgado

🤘

Mexican crepes and #5 of 52... Way to go!!

I use You Version Bible app to read the Word. I love it. It has an Easy version or ERV (Easy Read Version)...I love the community with this app (by Life Church and its free)! You are a beautiful girl and God is going to do great things with your life as you follow Him! Praying for you now! ❤

Love and enjoy your videos so much. Keep them up and good job w/the vision board even if you didn't finish you made progress :) Like you, a lot of us tend to get frustrated a bit because things aren't what we "pictured" but just keep taking it a day at a time and keep working on making progress :)
