I chuckled as I watched the final segment of this video with Roo on the couch. I remember in the early days of your channel, he wasn't allowed on the couch. And now I see that he has made it his own. ~~grin~~ Beautiful video as always. I need to pick up The Book Thief. I heard a lot of good comments about it.
morgan ! for the intimacy - starved ( hu )man that i am . . . your ' confessionals ' are a balm ; you're a fresh breath of tenderness , of humanness ! . . . thank you . . .
Every friday at 4 pm I get home from work, make a cup of tea, get some cookies and watch your newest video. It's a perfect way to relax, unwind and start the weekend. Greetings from Croatia!
Just wanted to sau I’ve been binging your videos this quarantine, and you’ve paved my path to falling in love with life. You’re an undiscovered gem, and I can’t wait for more people to find your videos and be absolutely inspired by them ❤️
So many of your videos I enjoy watching on my tv and then I rewatch them on my phone to like and comment. Your videos are just so calming. You even get my doggies to curl up and relax and nap. Hope you are having a happy day and night. Happy Reading 📚🎨🎶🌷
Beautiful video as always! P.S. I am in my 40's and I still put to much on my list & the balance fluctuates as you said. Thinking about things as "Seasons" in terms of my life has helped me put things a bit more in perspective as well. The more we grow, the more we change, and as we do that our circumstances change and then we need to learn balance all over again for our new selves and lives:) You're doing great, 1st step is always awareness & many do not grasp that, so you're ahead really :)
I love that you know that you’re an artist with videography. Because it’s one thing to be an artist at something, and to know that you are an artist at something; and the fact that you claim that is so brilliant and so amazing because it’s true Morgan, you are an artist at what you do!! And to know that you are is so great for you! I’m so happy that you get to do what you love for a living!
Hola, Morgan 🌻 I think that the line between feeling inspired and feeling envious is so thin that se could cross it very easy and forget that we only see a part of someone's life, the best part...your art si great, thanks for sharing it and remind us that there are more that we don't see 💞
Hola Morgan!!! Yes. You are right!!! Balancing work and health is vital in being an over all productive human being. We always need time for ourselves. I think the problem with most people is that we are always bombarded with constantly overcoming obstacles without taking time to evaluate ourselves. We need to regroup, think about who we are as people. This is why I love meditating, taking walks in the park where I could just let my mind wander in nature and think of the positive things I can do in life. I take life one day at a time. Love learning new things through reading or experiencing new stuff. I always make sure that I do my meditation, yoga and exercising in order to enhance my self esteem. Morgan, you have the right idea. Continue to be true to yourself. Give thanks to everyone and wish all a glorious day. Also, I wish you a happy weekend. Keep up the good work, amiga.
I keep being too late on your videos. But, I love your videos so much! They give me so much motivation and strength to keep going forward. So thank you Morgan ❤️
I agree with you about winter. I don’t like to say depressed either but I can tell my mood shifts downward in the winter time. But the giddiness of the start of spring is so wonderful 🌻
Dear Miss Morgan, Today has been such a chaotic but adventurous day. My train was cancelled , so my best friend dropped me off at the bus stop (she is so nice , I'm so lucky to have her!!🥰🥰) and then the bus driver didn't let me on the bus because it was too full , so I had to wait for the next one. On the bright side , the cherry blossoms are in full bloom now , so it's so nice to see them!! Do you have cherry blossoms in Portland too? Also , I've started bullet journaling this year , and it really helps to organize my day , avoid procrastination and it's so fun to decorate the pages. But I think what I like most about it is that I write a gratitude list , and it makes me feel so mindful and makes me realize how lucky I am. You're doing so great and being so positive , so keep going .💛💛 Lots of love , Tanisha
Love feeling like we just get to hang out with you for a week! Your planner idea is genius! I love how its color coded to promote balance. I am so impressed with all your plants! They look so happy and healthy. I also really appreciate that while your are always so beautiful and inspiring you are also open that things can be hard and can not go as planned and we have to adjust fire, and thats ok :) We all need reminders to give ourselves that grace from time to time.
I am glad watching you going through your week in a way that you are happy with, checking big items of your to-do list🤗, remember you are way more than the “doing”. My week was super difficult, but your video makes me feel hopeful. Thank you Dear Morgan, keep on shining. Lots of love from Houston, Texas😎.
I just wanted to tell you, I've been enjoying your spotify 🎶 playlists SO much! And I'm never going back. I needed so much motivation to go through modules last night and I realized your Spotify link was always in your description box but I never got to try so I used the "💭" playlist to do modules and I haven't been THAT MUCH in the zone for such a long time 😌 Thank you for making your playlists public, godsend for inspiration and casual magic ✨
Hi Mo! Your plant family is looking so healthy and happy 😍I also love to propagate my plants so I can offer them to friends later, it's a different feeling than gifting from the shop/nursery, it's more personal - that plant grew from my love and care, and so I am also giving that when I give the plant - that's how I feel 😊Monsieur Roo is just sooo adorableee!!! On the disclaimer you made about your videos, honestly, I see them as a reminder to capture the smaller but still precious moments and things in our daily lives. For me you don't portray an unrealistic picture of your life, you just choose to highlight those aspects, while, at the same time, staying true and sharing with us some of your lows. Sometimes, with such beautiful and well made videos, it can be easy to forget the real life behind the scenes, but I don't feel that with you. You inspire me so much and I honestly look up to you: you lift me up without toxic positivity, your videos are always a bright moment in my day (and it doesn't matter if it is a good day or a bad day), you make the mundane magical! Thank you, Friend ✨💛🌻
The double To-do list is such a clever way of planning your day! Do you write the "realistic" one at some point during the day or at night? I'd love a tutorial for beginners on how to plan a to-do list that doesn't make me feel absolutely miserable! Color coding and alternating between mandatory and nourishing activities is such a great idea! I admire how mindful you manage to be, even when working late or when tasks end up taking longer than you expected. I'd love to listen to your podcast someday! Are you thinking about making one?
your videos give me such a sweet, sweet dose of seratonin. thank you for sharing your thoughts and life - your perspectives and authenticity are so beautiful and contagious in the best way!
Your videos mean so much to me. I just moved away from Bellingham, WA, due to my partner's job loss. I miss the PNW so much. Be encouraged; you are a breath of fresh air on the internet!
I really needed this video today. I cried when you talked about it being okay to feel stuck because it is something I needed to hear. I always enjoy your videos so much! Thank you, Morgan.
As always such a comfortable combination of kindness dreamy but also realistic vision of your life and yes I am also the champion in making way too long daily to do lists so it was interesting to see your ideal and realistic approach and ooohhh that lovely Mr Roo , we can learn so much of our dear doggy friends when it is about just living in the present moment and take it easy , let’s try to “dog 🐾 habits “ the coming week 🍀 Thanks for sharing and making this piece of artvideo 🙏🏻
I thoroughly enjoyed every sweet moment of this beautiful video Morgan! 😍 Thank you so much for your authenticity about the realities of life vs the curated perspectives we see on social media. I love how you balance your art/curated gorgeous videos with heart to heart talks about what is real. The whole package just leaves me feeling happy and comforted. 💖 Also, I can so relate to feeling SO MUCH better with the return of the sunshine 🌞💕🤗
Thank you for putting so much time and effort making these videos, it’s truly wonderful to see ! Your videos gives me so much joy❤️ I really hope you take care of yourself, I know it can be so easy to overwork when you’re an independent creator 😭
I appreciate that you’re always willing to be honest and genuine with the hard parts of your job/life! Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with us. ✨ P.s. your shirt on Thursday is SO CUTE. also, monsieur roo is too good for this world 🥰🥰🥰
I still think it's so incredibly courageous to just quit a 9-5 job and work for yourself filling it up with all the things you love. Your videos always make me feel like that's something absolutely doable. Hope that your next week would be as great a week as this one!
I especially love your honesty and openness, and how you talked about curating your videos, but including the super late nights. You are so true-hearted and I love that. Of course I loved this as always, and so appreciate the enormous effort you put in to create such magical content xx
I loved your last message... I'm in a job I hate and finishing up my last few weeks of a Masters degree. It's been such a stressful 16 months. But graduation and a new job is on the horizon! And despite the stress, I always try to stay positive and keep a grateful heart. Beautiful video! Love the puppy!!
Oh, I'm so so so excited for you to be freeee!! You're so close! And if you can keep a positive, grateful heart through this, you will always succeed at being happy in life 💛
Sweet Morgan, one more kind, cozy and real video, thank you! At my time zone-Portugal, I get to see the video by friday, just what I need in the end of a hard work week. That idea of the list it's great, I'm going to try it! Learning balance it's a journey, having the awareness and intention of doing it is what able us to do it, but life is full of things to do, seasons, days, and a lot of variables, and sometimes it's not possible, and that's ok. And thank you for giving us the behind the scenes, I think it's important. Your videos are art, and a blessing my friend. Keep going, you are doing amazing, and we support you in the ways we can. Big hug!
Morgan, I absolutely love your videos. I've been going through a hard time and I discovered your lovely videos the past week and they have brought me a sense of calm and happiness that is really special to me. Thank you, keep creating your wonderful content!
Hello wonderful Mo, I didn't get in touch for a while, but as always I watched all the videos. How could I, I love them all. I've been thinking about how valuable it is what you do !!! Back when I discovered your channel in winter 2019, you reminded me again how important it is to live consciously. To make yourself aware every day of how much you should enjoy the many small and large things. How wonderful life is and that it is by no means a matter of course. Far, far too quickly, everyday life can make one forget that one pays too little attention to what could make one happy or satisfied. THANK YOU for giving me this present back then. You're the best ! Big Hugs and send you back love and light
Hello, Steffi friend!! Even when you leave for a while, I will remember you! You're one of my first, most supportive subscribers and I'm so grateful for you. What you've said is beautiful and a very important reminder, thank you 💛
I have been so overwhelmed lately with health issues. Nothing serious, just being overly anxious about it and possibly too cautious. I've distracted from actually taking time to relax and do things that help me get out of that anxious headspace. I forgot how much joy and warmth your videos bring me! I just wanted to share that with you! :)
So glad you’re back, friend! Your feelings are valid and it’s okay to take time away from things when you’re overwhelmed and anxious. I hope everything’s on the up & up from here 💛
I love watching Roo following you around 😂 Taxes in America seem like such a time-consuming and dreadful task, oh my! I love seeing how much thought and effort you put into your videos - it makes me so happy and so, so grateful for the time and work you put into your content! ✨🧡
Winter was so very difficult for me too, the amount of problems seemed too much to overcome. But sunshine heals most things, I think, & your cozy & hopeful videos have been a great help :) So thank you! 💛
It‘s such a great idea with the two todo lists (ideal and relistic). I like the colour coding too and recognize that my whole list would be in work colour. 😮Time to change this! Best regards from Germany.
Nesse tempo de quarentena seus vídeos me animam e me trazem paz 🤍 acho que seria demais colocar os erros de gravação no finalzinho de todos os vídeos, fazem eu me sentir mais próxima de você, amo seus vídeos! Beijos do Brasil 🇧🇷
This was wonderful, Morgan! You have such a talent for capturing the beauty in simple things. Thank you for your positivity, your videos always brighten my mood :)
This is the kind of balanced week I need, not just working hard 24/7. Since going back to work after our lockdown I've felt like that's the only thing I should do to make up for the past couple of months, even when it's my day off I am always go go GO! cleaning and doing work around the house instead of just taking even if just a few minutes for myself and read for a bit but watching you taking care of your plants definitely inspired me repot some of mine next time I have a free day! :)
I totally get what you mean by overcompensating for the time not spent working! I don't know why we feel we need to work ourselves to exhaustion. I hope you're able to find some relaxation time ❤️
Your videos are incredible but your mental and physical health is first and foremost! Rest when you need it, friend 💛 That being said, this video was so cozy and comforting! Beautiful shots and perfectly soundtracked! Repotting your plants gave me the motivation to tackle all my new plant babies 🪴
You make ME so happy!! It fills me with joy to know that you are able to do this kind of work and make such beautiful art through your videos! You are such a light, Morgan! Also, your plants look SO GOOOOD. I can’t wait till my newest plants grow and thrive 🌿🥰
I love your videos Morgan, they honestly, truuuly make me feel better about the world ❤️ And thank your for sharing how long it takes you to edit etc! I feel like it's something I know logically, but it's sometimes still hard to remember when watching your, and other's, lovely videos. Keep on keeping on, oh wondrous you 💙 We really appreciate you being here and doing the things you do
I was looking forward to the weekend to watch your new video. It's always a very relaxing moment for me😊. I want to try the to do list idea, very useful for me because I tend to overload my day too, not realistic at all but it's a bad habit. Maybe as an idea for new content you could record a video on how you use books in your everyday. I know you've already showed it in your channel, but maybe sth more specific, like the process (how you use them to study Spanish) or cooking a recipe, paint, prepare some teas or herbal remedies...don't know, they're just random ideas. However, I really enjoy this "a week in my life videos"😊. You have such a fresh, honest and natural style, it's very unique and it's in all your videos, no matter what they are about. I think that's one of the reasons we all love your channel so much. 😊Saludos desde España🌻
As usual, your video has been an excellent company and the best way to finish what has been kind of a miserable day. Thank you! I wish I could join your Patreon to have more of your videos to enjoy, haha. :) But thank you for making free content here. I wouldn't be able to enjoy your beautiful, inspiring and relaxing videos otherwise. Thanks for your videos, your good wishes and all the nice things you share with us (specially, the honesty regarding how life really isn't perfect not even for you) and have a good week. :) Lots of love from Chile!
So much love, so much serenity inside your video, i feel that you really love each of us and i love that feeling because ... it s not easy every day with this virus or with our job, the stress, fear, etc etc ... and its such a pleasure to ear your words, your voice telling us not give up and enjoy simple moments... thank you so much from my little island because you are like my little sunbeam and it warms my heart to have you with me when i m wrong... 🥺 Thank you for your encouragement and good mood... ❤
Ahh I often feel this too! As if Morgan's heart embraced each and everyone of us. I always feel less alone watching her videos and reading all the beautiful, heartfelt comments like yours!
@@monica_. oh thank you so much for this sweet comment !!! I feel so close to you through this message !!! thank you for those words so sweet, so full of love, so touching. thank you from the bottom of my heart... I wish you the best !!! ❤❤🙏
@@pagesacroquer4546 you truly made my day with your reply, dear, thank you so so much for your kind words. I was feeling kind of meh (lately, like you said, it's all been a bit too much) and your answer brought warmth and light to my heart. This comment section has truly something magical, don't you think?✨ I've been finding true solace and consolation here... Much love to you, and I hope things become easier and lighter🙏❤️
I love the ideal and realistic lists! I always just create the ideal list and feel terrible about what I get done, but this feels much more manageable. I’m going to try and use it for today!
I always look forward to your incredible videos!!! One random thing is that if you want to avoid calling it seasonal depression, you can refer to it as SAD (seasonal affective disorder).
I look forward to your Friday uploads. They bring much peace and creative inspiration! I’m currently in a season of my life where I am stuck in a job that I hate and trying to finish school without debt and watching you grow and live a life that you love reassures me that I will get to that point in my life. Soon. 😌 You’re doing great Morgan thank you for the authentic connection and beautiful videos! 🥰
I really really appreciate you being so honest with your struggles in keeping a life balance. I have a hard time with this as well with my channel and bookstagram. Especially now that I am a new momma. You are doing amazing. I am so happy that I found your channel. You have inspired me to be more artistic and intentional in my filming. Quick question, what do you use to get your text to type across the screen? You are a beautiful human!
This is the BEST way to start my Friday! I’ve been super burnt-out by work lately so it’s really nice to sit down with a cup of tea and relax while watching your video. I haven’t been keeping up with my habit of building a to-do list so I want to get back to that this week. Not so much because I need to get more done, but because I can hopefully use that list to have a little more balance between work and the rest of my life.
This may be a slightly random suggestion but I think you would love the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency book series by Alexander McCall Smith. They are set in Botswana and the writing is so lyrical and simple but poetic, you just get lost in their world. Thank you for a beautiful video!
I don’t know about you guys, but there isn’t one video when I’m not identifying myself with Roo 🥰 he is A MOOD and he’s the cutest! Perfectly sums up how I feel and how I want to lay around all the time 🙈🤗
Hi Mo!I Happy Friday! 😊 I totally agreed that everything takes much longer than anticipated. I like the ideal vs realistic to do list and the color coding. Beautiful video, as always!
I enjoyed your video! It is a good feeling to feel that you have accomplished what you wanted too. I have been concentrating on digging out my very overstuffed basement storage area. I have donated a lot to organizations that help others. I try to keep as much out of the landfill as possible. Still some areas to tackle like the workbench area full of parts of things that I have no idea how they got there. I’m not the least bit handy but I hate throwing things out. I decided to rest , drink tea and watch your video. Start again tomorrow! Xx
Hi my dear Morgan friend I hope you are doing fine and great , I have the same copie of the book thief I read it 3 years ago it was a very very good book especially the drawing parts in this copie and your routine its always inspirfull, about me iam reading a little life I've heard a lot of good thing about it take care of your self I love you cant wait to see you nxt Friday 😚❤
