Hi Morgan! I am from Turkey and I’m so glad you talked about the devastating eartquake we’ve been through. This makes me feel less alone. And don’t worry we are all feeling guilty. I ashamed from the water that i drink. I couldn’t sleep or rather i didn’t let myself sleep a couple days. But i did my best to help. And now It is very important for us to protect our mental health. Because I think we've all been through indirect trauma. This is really painful. I hope no one will experience such pain again. So like i said you are not alone and what you said is true and there is nothing wrong with moving on with life and feeling positive emotions, on the contrary it is good for us. Also the video was so beautiful as always. I love you and your videos so much, I’m glad you’re here and thank you🤍 also i hope my english is good 😅
Hello Morgan, I'm from Turkey and thank you for your feelings. We feel so sad, lonely and fearful here. We have so many lost. Thank you to everyone who empathizes with us in another part of the world...
I think of you all constantly, I've been praying and making donations. It's not nearly enough. I know. We all are affected by the suffering of our fellow humans, and one can't help but feel powerless. Sending you strength and love. ❤️
I have told my husband countless times that it’s pages like YOURS that allow us the relief we need from all of this. I mean it Morgan. Don’t ever feel you need to stop due to feeling insensitive. We know your heart. And you bring so so much more than you could ever know with your videos
We luv you Mo! NEVER FORGET HOW WONDROUS YOU TRULY ARE! We are here for you. Where else are we goin' to go? Hahaha. But seriously. You help so many peeps by sharing your struggles, insecurities and anxiety, more probably, than sharing your: goals met, triumphs won and finish lines crossed. We all struggle at one time or another for different reasons in different ways. I have yet to read one auto/bio or memoir that different record a horrible loss, tragedy, health issue, devastating failure, insurmountable mountain (seemingly) or unattainable dream. Some people have one of each, or multiples of each. And even rarer to find someone who didn't have something they were ashamed of or felt insecure about. For example, many ballerinas at the world class level despise their feet because of the changes wrought by toe shoes. So you are not alone. Not when I'm here. ❤ Go for a walk w Mr R and watch his perfect mindfulness of sun, wind, good sniffs and red balls soaring (or tennis balls or what ever balls you throw him). Let him remind you that a break to breathe and enjoy will give you strength to renew yr spirit. Then do what you did! You tackled or tickled a task and DID IT! You have done so much! You can do even bigger things. And I get to watch, appreciate and CONGRATULATE 🎉YOU! ❤
This was the most heartwarming, uplifting pep talk to read this morning! Thank you so very much Victoria friend-- your words have gone straight to my heart. And please know that all the good you see in me is actually a reflection of your good, oh wondrous YOU ❤️
@@MorganLong Dearest Mo! Not only did I get a shout out but a reply. And that made my day! Not that you replied (which is wonderful btw) but that maybe my words helped a little. Because you have such a big fan fam and it takes a lot of time to read let alone reply know that you need never have to reply to me. Ok? But I am dancing a jig becuz of you as I go get my hot 🍵! YAY!
Thank you Morgan for mentioning the disastrous earthquakes in my home country Syria and in Turkey our neighbour country. It is absolutely heartbreaking, and sad how people over there are suffering. I have been feeling helpless and depressed about it. Thank you everyone for supporting and praying 🙏🏻
your love for humankind is exactly what this world needs. i live in the midwest (USA) and a train derailed carrying loads of toxic chemicals. it will have lasting effects for years to come. between that and the earthquake and the continuing war in Ukraine, it feels overwhelming, thank you for a few minutes of calm on this platform
Seeing what is happening in turkey is devastating. New zeland is currently going through its own natural disaster, sometimes it feels like there is so much pain and suffering in the world. But you are so right! We need to seek joy, and amgounst the dark there is so much light!
I've been watching your videos for a while now and I've always been shy to comment but everything you said in the first 7mins was exactly what I needed to hear. I was genuinely sobbing because I didn't realize how much I needed to hear that. Thank you for being here. Conceptually, I know I'm not alone but you helped me actually *feel* not alone in my emotions and I really appreciate it.
You do such an incredible job at articulating those emotions and swirls we feel inside during setbacks. Everything you described, I have felt immensely at times. So thank you for those words. And besides, when we are taking one step forward and two steps back, just turn on some music and wiggle your hips a bit, and you're dancing! 😄
Thank you for talking about those poor souls in Turkey, after the earthquake. Your dog is sooo drop dead beautiful, and I know that he is loved to bits. I totaly understand what you are saying about your anxiety - I have not been out of my home into the human world since January 2020. I live in a rural place in Devon, England, I am 66 years young, and only go out of my house from my front door to walk my dog, she is the only thing that gets me out. I can go days without speaking to another human being, and I do not mind this most of the time, but the evenings are the worst, when I do feel very alone. This is why I watch youtube chanels like yours, which speak the truth about feelings that we can all relate to. You are the most beautiful young woman, both inside and out. I just wish I could give you a big loving hug - but I can do so virtualy I suppose? That is what I miss most of all, being able to hug someone, and feeling loved. I wish you healing, and like us all on here, send that your way 100 per cent. Love and Hugs to you from me, Jilly, and my beautiful black rescue greyhound Madge, from Devon, England. xxx
Sending you hugs, Jilly friend! And to Madge too 🐾 Self- love is something I’m learning to cultivate. Thank you for your honesty about your life experience ♥️
Thank you Morgan for another whilst being authentic, feel good video. Amongst all the desolation in the world and maybe what we are having to deal with our own lives, finding joy amongst the sadness and tears is ,in my opinion, vital for our health and mental/ emotional wellbeing. We need YOU. As someone who is HSP, an empath and takes everything on my shoulders and into my heart, I am " eventually learning " that self care is essential if we are in anyway to be of help to others. So thank you for sharing and helping me to remember it's OK to feel all the feels, to sit with our emotions, to do whatever we need to do to support others, but first of all we have to access our inner support system so that we can be available for ourselves and therefore more able to be there for those around us and for the world in whatever way we can. I really look forward to your videos, so please continue bringing your sadness, but your joy to the world, its needed. Light and love, Sue 🙏❤️✨️🐕💛💞
Sit back with that cup of tea and enjoy the expertise of a CPA! As a business owner of an ag lessor, farm, winery, and also a sole proprietorship having a CPA is such a relief for our taxes! Cheers to that and much love to you!
I’m a CPA and I am so proud of you for reaching out to a professional for help! So many times small businesses don’t reach out until their financials are a total mess and it is a very stressful experience. We financial pros are here to help! We study and train to help you navigate the crazy finance world. Thank you for sharing such vulnerable life experiences with us ❤
Thank you SO MUCH for showing us the retakes of your attempts to film!! We need to see that. I FEEL YA in those moments for sure! THIS is why we LOVE you sincerely and wholeheartedly Morgan 🙏 💓💛💝👏
There's something so... artistically comical about seeing Monsieur Roo's single paw extended in the air, away from the couch, as the "Flower Duet" opera plays in the background! 💕🐕💐🦋🌺
Dear Morgan, I want to sincerely thank you for this video ❤ you brought me joy during the past two days despite the harshness of the world right now and my mental health issues. You are making our planet a safer place ❤ I am sending my thoughts, love and prayers to Syria and Turkey ❤
This video was exactly what I needed today. I already wrote an entire message to you but accidentally clicked off the video and lost it. I needed a moment after that. But I just want you to know that everything you shared and how beautifully you shared it, and I mean not just your words and emotions but also what you did and sharing your dog, etc., all of it, really hit me in the soul. I don't have the words anymore. I wish I could take a wand and take my thoughts and transfer them to you. Thank you for being who you are and sharing yourself. You're a kindred.
I appreciate your comments on guilt. It is one of the most counter productive emotions. These past couple weeks have been horrible for so many: the earthquake, the toxic spill, and now this recent school shooting in my own state. A friend posted on FB the experiences of her two children who were both on the MSU campus at the time, and it was truly harrowing to read her account, even though neither came to harm. Thank you for the reminder that we all need to try to find joy.
Morgan, you are beautiful and authentic, and you are loved over the world. You are stronger than you think. Feed from that whenever you are having a difficult time.
Hi Morgan, im from Turkey and i couldnt help but write how thoughtful and sensitive of you that you've been talking for 3 minutes straight about eathquake. I have feeling less alone and impressed how a person dont know me and feel sorow that much. ❤❤
Hi Morgan :) I’ve been saving this video to watch today when I finally have time because since you last posted a video I have been through the worst of the New Zealand cyclone and also moved across the country for my next year of university, meeting the strangers I’ll be living with! They’re both lovely, but it’s an incredibly scary time for me leaving my family behind to deal with everything. This is just the pocket of peace I need. Cup of tea is at the ready ❤
Black micron pen will work!! You have such a talent for art..keep it up ! Thankyou for your sweet, calming words. I too struggle in my 60's with self doubt, anxiety, some days are better than others....but that's ok. As long as we take time for "me". And the World can be overwhelming and sad. We can do our part even in a little way. As the song goes" What the World needs now is Love Sweet Love" ...... Make each day joyful in some small way and Practice Random Acts of Kindness where ever it may be !! Thankyou wondrous friend and you bring sunshine in. You matter. ❤
Morgan - you must be one of the most lovely young women one could ever find on You Tube because you're so authentic and take such care when crafting your videos (and how refreshing for someone to show when they are struggling?) and also because I can't remember any other You Tuber who's ever mentioned any crisis in the world, so all credit to you, and for producing such a lovely postcard in aid of charity. I feel so sad that you struggle with anxiety but that will pass with age: it's such a crazy world these days no wonder you have trouble keeping a clear head about it all (you're not alone, believe me)! Thank you, as always, for such a gorgeous video which helped me achieve 30 mins of calm in my ever-hectic and stressful life (and yes, I did sit down not just with a cuppa but also a slice of home-made cake!!) - pure bliss. Til next time. x
Hi Morgan! I'm originally from Belarus. But for almost five years I live in Washington state. I just start watching you not a long time ago and I love your channel and what you are doing. Thank you so much:) And I wish you all the best.
Hello, dear Morgan! I am from Turkey and I've been watching your videos for a very long time. As Turkish nation, we are going through very hard and heartbreaking times. It is very precious for us to see that you share our pain and tears... We also feel guilty, but as you said, our world needs love, help, peace and joy. I remind myself of that we need to be well in order to help people who need our help. Please remind yourself of this often... I love you dear Morgan and thank you so very much for your support and prayers... So much love from Turkey... ❤🙏
Greetings from Vancouver, WA. It was a surprise to see you building that kit. I've had my eye on that one, or perhaps the Japanese version of it, for a few months. Looks very relaxing to build. Your reminder about the Turkish/Syrian earthquake are also very welcome and needed. Regarding the anxiety, it sounds like you have such a good understanding of it all, but its is difficult to work through. Over the last few years, I've developed an odd facial glitch which is often humiliating in public. It tends to keep me hiding at home, which I think must be a failure on my part. But, like you, I'm working through it, trying to still be a good and useful person. Morgan, your videos are so humble, and reflect simple, but deeply meaningful values. There is a lot of good in what you do. Wishing you the very best.
Thank you, Morgan. I am a highly sensitve person. At almost 47 years old now, I have spent my entire life (ever since I was a little girl and started to learn about all the suffering in this world) feeling guilty for my own life and so burdened for the immenses suffering around the world. The last few years have been so heartbreaking for so many humans and animals. I really needed to hear what you had to say! And I enjoyed watching your video while I sipped my lavender/chamomile tea and just took it all in.
Ah I relate to this so much. I'm 43 and can't remember ever really not feeling the way you described. I understand the irony in what I'm about to say, as I rarely ever speak to myself this way, but: Please know you are a kind soul and deserve all the goodness and happiness in the world. I believe this wholeheartedly.✨💕
I spend a lot of my time (especially with trying to grow and reach for my true dreams) feeling alone. Lately, I’ve honestly been wondering if I’m truly an outsider and everyone finds me too strange to tolerate…or if it’s possibly self-inflicted. Your videos (along with other factors but your videos are a very large contributor) are helping me to…honestly realize it may be just me making me feel this way. I believe now I don’t have to be extraordinary or well liked to lead an extraordinary life and your videos have been helping to encourage me to appreciate the life I have created and the future I am creating for myself. 2023 is a year of self care and healing. So much is constantly happening. It’s how it’s always been and always will be. It’s good to allow ourselves to isolate, to allow ourselves to feel and process. It’s when we refuse to come out of isolation that it becomes damaging. My heart and soul go out to everyone who is facing devastation, whether it be an earthquake or trying to overcome self-inflicted suffering. You are not alone 💛 Do not think noone wants to help you or noone wants you around.
I relate to your feelings so much, Bailey friend! I’m working really hard to cultivate self-love. My inner-critic is horrible. So so demeaning! I’m so glad you’re prioritizing self care, healing and love ♥️
Hi Morgan, You are very dear and have a heart of Gold love your art and you showed us just how to bring joy to yourself and tigers by sharing your gifts thanks for being sO real with us💕😊
Hi Morgan! I’ve been watching your videos for a very long time, and they always make me feel so good, I’ve been wanting to share this with you. I am from Istanbul, Turkey and thank you so much for sharing our grief in this difficult time, it means a lot❤ You’re a kind soul.
What a tender and honest video you have done. You voiced what so many of us are feeling right now. It has been a brutal few years and the catastrophic news cycle never seems to end. You are doing all the right things. Stayed informed but disconnect from the endless doom scrolling. Do what you can to help and then let it go out into the world with love. Keep busy with things that bring you joy and get out into the peaceful beauty of nature when you can. It heals the soul. Blessings to you dear one. ❤
The earthquake has deeply affected me too, as well as some personal scary challenges which there's nothing to be done but to keep working through one step at a time. I have, during some of the worst experiences in my life, found that choosing joy is what helped me move forward, help me heal, helped me be as whole as I can be and that then means I'm more capable of being there for other people. It's truly a win/win choice. Although I also have to remind myself sometimes not to compare my struggles at any given time with the bigger struggles I see people suffering all around me, and then negate my ability to truly feel my own feelings. You did a great job of expressing much of what I also feel. Hugs.
Wednesday opening cracked me up! 😂 loving your videos, Morgan ❤ my word for this year is courage as well. It requires a lot of… well, courage! To go through the uncomfortable and vulnerable moments of life. But damn it’s rewarding. And it helps to be authentic and free ❤
The opera music with RoO was BRILLIANT. You have not backstopped or progressed dear Morgan, we always forget that progress and growth is indeed not a linear thing, we experience ups and downs when our brain is forming new habits and connections. Linear growth is often not real, just like losing/gaining a lot of weight at once is not healthy for your system. You're absolutely right, when it gets hard, that's the push you need to get over that edge. No it's not easy, it's never going to be easy, BUT, it's definitely going to be worth it. I love you, you're doing such a good job and we're all super proud of you!
hi morgan ♡ . . i dont usually leave comments like this for fear of exposure but i wanted to let you know that you’re not alone in feeling like you took a back step in the progress you’ve been making. i won’t go into detail about what it is im struggling with but i’ve been feeling the same with what i’ve been overcoming lately , like i’ve regressed , and it does not feel good. but i haven’t allowed myself to quit and though it is not a fun process , it is slowly getting easier and i know i need to keep going. thank you so much for being so honest with us
26:24 ah yes, the universal language of dogs; ”no take, only throw” 😅❤ Lovely video Morgan, you fill my afternoon with light and love. Thank you for being so authentic. ❤
You are so wonderful. I hope you never stop your videos. I just love them. Your home and life looks so wonderful. I know what you mean about anxiety. I had surgery after new years and 6 week recovery in bed. Now I’m finding going out anywhere is making my stomach upset and I can’t wait to get back home to my safe space. Kinda worried but hope it will pass. The world is too scarey. 😢
On feeling stressed out and emotional today I sat to watch you and did as you said got some tea and I feel a little better. Tough week full of grief around my Mum so thank you for always being a guiding light love you Mo ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Morgan, I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability so much. I'm heading into my 4th week of sick leave from work due to my mental health. I struggle to leave the house, to shower, to dress in anything but pyjamas or sweatpants. Seeing you, who looks so put together and cheerful, struggle makes me feel less alone. So thank you, it helps more than you know.
Your vulnerability and courage to be honest with yourself inspires me to be vulnerable and honest with myself about how I'm feeling and doing. Thank you for being YOU! ♥
Hello beautiful soul! Just wanted to thank you for your videos . I love them, the light, the music, the pure person you are and that makes me feel JOY. And yes this is so important. You inspire me so much. Much love ❤
If only we could turn off the horrible little voices in the back of minds. Keep doing what you'e doing 💞. Never be afraid to ask for help. Your videos always bring me joy 😊 & the world absolutely needs it. Love to all those around the world, going through situations we'll never understand. Love to Rue xx 🐕💕
I am 56 and do well but have my ups and downs with managing my relationship with my money. It’s so deeply rooted. But the fact that you’re actually sitting down and doing it is everything! Keep going!
Your energy is so vibrant in this video! Did you sage, lol? I just love it!🙏 Working on your root chakra really helps with mental health. It's meant to help with feeling safe and again with mental health. Lots of videos here on RU-vid on how to work our root chakra. Even binural beats for the root chakra with headphones on really helps. Much love.🙏
Hi Morgan! It’s been a while, I’ve been struggling a lot, but I’m starting to feel better again. I can honestly say that your videos have helped me 100%, so thank you so much! I’ve said it before but I’m going to say it again, the food that you make always looks incredible! You should make a video about tips for those who are considering becoming vegan, and how you manage the substitutes. Happy weekend Morgan! 🫶
Thank you for being so real about your own suffering and grief. This is how I have been feeling as well. I have felt powerless and privileged and such sorrow. And I heard a Buddhist nun on TikTok speak of this. She said that even tho we are powerless to directly affect the tragedies in Turkey and Syria, we can turn to the person next to us or the homeless person on the street, and offer love and support. Everywhere there is suffering and we can be the light for each other. Sharing our joy and peace is part of that. Your video soothes my grieving soul. My smile warms up my neighbor's morning. Making eye contact with the homeless man at the coffee shop acknowledges our humanity. Every action counts. In these times we must remember the butterfly effect and also the power of light. Hugs and love to you!
Oh Mo, I wanted to reach through the screen and give you a big hug when you shared how you were struggling 🥺 Thank you so much for your vulnerability and honesty. It takes courage to share All the feelings and not only the good ones. You are so correct, it is normal, healthy and perfectly okay to feel many different emotions (sometimes simultaneously!). I hope that by sharing here, you felt the comfort of your community. You certainly give us all so much comfort ❤️ just by being you! You are, without a doubt, one of the Kindest and most Compassionate people I have ever met. It is your gift! You hold space for others and make us feel seen and understood. May you feel the same love reflected back at you friend. 💖
Hi Morgan. What a lovely video! My word for 2022 was Courage as it was a year of immense change for me: graduating law school, taking the bar exam, moving, starting work after being in school for two decades straight, and all of the big feelings that come with that. I have so much anxiety about getting out of my comfort zone and having my routine shaken up and was confronted with that constantly last year. But, sitting on the word Courage throughout the year was very comforting. I hope it gives you the same comfort!
It's ok not be ok sometimes. I feel like after the last few years we feel such devastation like this in the world hit our heart and soul even more deeply. Thank you for sharing and saying out loud what many of us are feeling right now. Also, I feel like I saw one of Randi's calendars on the wall😏🍂🦊🖌
The feeling you evoke with your videos is the equivalent as reading a magical children’s book to me… I say this with the best intentions and as the biggest compliment ever! ✨🤍 The cinematography, the music and the cosy vibes bring me so much joy and calmness…. I hope you never stop doing what you do!
This video just proves again why I love watching your videos and love being a Patron. The kindness and empathy you feel for others, doing your part to help, it's just a wonderful community to be a part of and I think inspires all of us to do what we can too ❤
This was such a healing video, Morgan. You are such a sweet and genuine spirit. I once heard that as an anacronym FEAR stands for False Evidence Appearing Real. That is what it is like for me. Your video reminded me of that. Thank you, and God bless Turkey and Syria.
Dear Morgan, as a woman who feels all the feels daily, I understand. I love and treasure your videos and your heart and NEVER look at you critically. I enjoy all that you share. Roo’s paws, the delicious meals, your thoughts and tea and art - thank you for it all. 🦋
Hello from London 😊. Smiling through the sadness is ok. I always think Feb is a tough month if you have worked hard at change, your mind can trick you into believing that ‘s a job done and relax - which can be a trigger for feeling your going backwards. But your right, this also highlights your progress. Love your art ❤. More joy to you.
We like you as a person, not as a cute disney doll :) show up as you are and you will be surprised how many people appreciate you as much or even more. Super scary, not nailing this myself yet, but it's easier to see it for someone else. ❤️ (Also, a video without you speaking on camera is fine as well! You don't have to do that to make it a beautiful authentic Morgan video)
What a cozy video! I live when you speak about your feelings because usually people only show the happy and positive side of life online. But you really show how and what you feel! So thank you for that Morgan❤️
I smile when I feel uncomfortable too :). I totally relate to what you say about the old narrative trying its absolute hardest to challenge you when you are trying to overcome it. I have had a similar thing recently in my life too, but couldn't put it into words as well as you have. thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities with us, it is so comforting to know that others ae feeling the same way as me x
Hi Morgan! I truly appreciate all your videos. Thank you for being you 😊. Your videos bring me joy and helps me to know I’m not alone. I also have those down days lately and you truly make them better 💕
Everything about this video is soothing, beautiful and so so valuable Morgan. Thank you for what you said about the Turkey/Syria earthquake; thank you for sharing your vulnerability and thank you for spreading so much joy and kindness. You are a treasure 🌸❤️🩹
From this week it started also in Romania some earthquakes but all I need is distraction and look at beautiful things. This is why I came here 🥰 It was scary, the building was balancing at 5,7 and I think ar those from Turkey how they must feel at 7+ because my hearth was racing in those moments you think you will die. And all you have is clothes on you.
My boyfriend is feeling down today, and after hearing what ms pots said i was like maybe I should make him some tea... Then you insisted!!! So i went and made him some Positive Energy tea anf myself some hot chocolate! I'm almost certain this elevated his mood to some small degree, so thankyou for your thoughtfulness 😊
There are so many things to say, but most importantly - thank you for /your/ joy and compassion and authenticity and I am so proud of you for working through the discomfort and facing the uncomfortable things that take courage
