Sometimes the changes come so something new can come in. That doesn’t mean that the changes won’t be hard or that the things or people you’ve lost mean any less, but it opens the doors for other opportunities to come into your life and bring you happiness that you hadn’t even imagined. Wishing you many blessings! So glad to hear that you are doing well! And wow! That’s awesome that you are helping to provide accessible tours! My mom has some mobility issues and she loves to go places but after several hip and knee replacements and getting into her 70’s, I would worry about her trying to board a boat that doesn’t have a ramp. She could probably manage, but I would be a nervous wreck. 😂 In all seriousness though, that’s a wonderful thing and I love that you are providing free of charge for disabled veterans. My dad and many others in my family have served, and thankfully all came home safely. I’m sure that it means so very much for the veterans you have given this wonderful opportunity to be recognized for their service and their sacrifice.
Laura, I was happy to see this new video. Ever since you lost Pixie, I was so sad and didn't watch for awhile. I missed a lot i see, but so happy you're back
What a wonderful surprise😍😍😍😍, as I clicked on RU-vid and this video was the 1st one I saw. I wondered if you were ever coming back. I've been enjoying all of you previous videos in your absence. So sorry to hear you went through a tough time.😢 As the saying goes, 1 door closes, and another door opens, and it sounds like you opened the best door! Things happen for a reason! I'm very happy you found another love, AND we get a great video from you. You have been missed. I so enjoy all of your shelling knowledge, and you have a great voice ! Thank you for all you do. You've taught me all I know about shelling since I moved to Clearwater from Illinois 6 yrs ago. YOU are a gem❤❤
Laura, sooooo happy that you are doing well. I missed your videos and your sweet, bubblypersonality & informative tutorials over the past several months. Sorry to hear that you had to go through some major changes, but great to hear that you are in a wonderful new relationship! My husband is a disabled, retired Navy vet so was excited to hear about your business, as well. We are coming down to Coral Gables over Thanksgiving week with our adult daughters & grandkids (2)…hope to get out and do some shelling. Would love to meet you…maybe go out on your boat…my hubby has mobility issues so that sounds perfect. Glad to see your channel back up…look forward to seeing you more here!! Take care. 😍
So very happy to see you.. so sorry for all the changes life brought but very happy to hear happiness has found you and the new changes have brought a new chapter ..life can turn in an instant we know...
Was just thinking about you recently - have definitely missed watching your videos. I learned a lot from them and was able to find a cool shell by following your hints! ((hugs))
Welcome back, Virtual Friend! I have missed your sweet walks on the beach. Sage advice. Thank you for persevering and sharing your thoughts. “Find your joy and share your joy” is an adage I adopted ages ago. Helps me through the tough times. Realize that your videos provide joy for many who live away from the coast. I now have a new item on my bucket list…visiting your new business to charter a shelling excursion! Can’t wait to get there! Peace to you and yours!
I needed to hear your message. I lost my husband of 29 years and I’ve been lost, angry, depressed and sad. If you can do it, so can I. So, thank you, dear lady. You are a beautiful light❤TN Nana
It is so good to have you back. Just as you were moving, I got two shell bags from you, around Mother's Day and sent you a thank you package at the address you sent the shell bags from that got returned. I would still love to send it to you, I love the bags so much and having you back on your channel.
Thank you, I needed to hear those exact words ❤ plus I adore your videos, you and Pam Rambo are the reason I fly from the UK to Marco and go shelling xxxxxx and I've learnt so much from you, so thank you once again and for being you xxxx
Good to see you back. Bless your heart, you don't owe anyone an explanation just glad you're okay. You do so much for so many. Thank you & good bless.❤
Thank you for your lovely video today, especially your encouraging words at the end after going through trauma yourself.I have missed you and your shelling adventures . Not knowing what you have been through, I feel for you as life throws us the unexpected heartbreaks we need to face and work through. I've been going through a lot of.painful life events too and am very encouraged by you. I pray God's you and your life is filled with a renewed happiness. Xx😘
You made my day! I was so worried about you. About a month ago I lost my husband of 30 years, I soooooo understand what you are saying. Some days I do not even want to get out of bed, thank goodness for my cats. You inspire me, I will always be your shelling friend.
Thank you for your candid video about your absence while taking up on a lovely shell search. I hope life continues to treat you well and look forward to more videos. Take care.
I was so excited to see a video from you! Whatever you have been thru…I am sorry. Life can change on a dime and I appreciate your candor and encouragement to us all. You are inspiring to us all. Praying God’s richest blessings on you and those you love! 💗
Oh goodness Laura, I was just checking yesterday to see if I missed you by chance. I am so sorry you’ve gone through a huge ordeal. But I must say, you sound wonderful and sound like you are doing much better. I thank God He has brought you through that. I will pray for you and your business. I also appreciate so much what you do for breast cancer patients. I am a breast cancer patient along with leukemia. I am doing well. Everyday you can face a struggle, but God is faithful to bring us out of it with a victory. And I so appreciate the accessibility with your boat. I have mobility struggles and use a wheelchair often. If I were ever in your area, I’d definitely look you up. Thank you to both of you for that thoughtfulness. I have missed your videos and your cheerful voice. I am so glad you are doing much better now. God bless you. 💗
I’m so thankful that you are doing well. I’m fairly new to your channel but knew there was something up in the last few videos. You can overcome and I’m thankful that you are. Our trials & struggles make us stronger. I’m so looking forward to your next videos. Stay strong and carry on!
Soooooo happy to hear you're doing good! And thank you for your words of wisdom...I know that God has a path made just for me. I know there will be some tough "valley" days and some awesome mountain highs but through it all I know He is with me and that is a blessing in itself. God says He works all things out for our good...even when we can't see that good, it's there. Some days you just need to walk by faith. God bless you!
I'm so pleased you are back please do not apologise for not posting videos I understand. Life can be cruel. I wish you so much good luck in your future business, new relationship and all the plans you have. ♥
I was so excited to see a new post from you!!! I'm so sorry for all you had to go through. I'm so happy you are happy!!! I hope you will be able to continue with these videos. ❤❤❤❤❤
Great to have you back. Sorry about your tough year but glad to hear that you have prevailed and are once again moving forward. Looking forward to future videos.
Hi Laura! I was gone all day so what a surprise to come home, open my Ipad and see you had posted a video, I know I have already told you how happy I am that you have found a new life and it warms my heart to see and hear you again. Love the pic of you and Dustin at the end. Can't wait to see you and Dustin and the family enjoying adventures!! I hope to see you guys in Sept and give you big hugs. I have come along way myself in the healing process just thru your videos and kind words. You introduced me to SW Florida and Marco years ago and I will forever be grateful for it. 2 mths and I will be back!! Hugs💕💞
I am so glad to see you back, Laura! Thank you for giving us an update , because you have been on my mind for some time lately. I am thankful that you are doing well, and happy. Continue to move forward sweet girl! Hugs from PA!
So so happy that you are well❣️❣️❣️ Totally understand, I lost my son 11 weeks ago 🥲. It’s the hardest emotion I have been dealing with. Your video came at a good time. Thank you for your advise🥲😘
So excited to see back! I have thought of you often and wondered how you were. I kept checking every week and sometimes daily, even on instagram. I so enjoy your videos and your lovely voice. I just want you to know that I prayed so hard for you and all that were effected by the hurricane. I can’t even imagine what you went through.
Hi Laura,glad to see you back. Congrats on your next chapter in Life, Love and pursuit of happiness. Great video. We will be in Marco for a week over the Labor Day weekend. Excited for sure. House with pool and dock. Renting a boat for 3 days. Do you have any suggestions or heard who’s the best company to rent a boat from? No worries, just asking. We’ve been visiting Sanibel/Captiva Islands since ‘95. It’s been heartbreaking for a lot of people. One day at a time sweet Jesus. Looking forward to more outings. God Bless you and yours. 🐚🐬🦩🌴 Adorable picture at the end! Love looks good on you two!
I'm new to your channel. Your channel sounds interesting and I look forward to enjoying your videos. I'm glad you have found your way back to a comfortable place. Blessings to your new beginnings. 🙏🌻🐕🥰
It was so nice to see your video. Thank you for opening up to your viewers. Your advice is spot on. The past year has been a roller coaster for so many of us. Stay strong. I wish you peace and happiness.
I sure have missed you!!!! I am so very sorry for all of your life pains and changes but surely happy you have reconnected with your high school sweet heart. I loved the video, how fun! Hope to see you again soon. XOXO
I have missed you so much! I’ve thought about you often! I’m glad things are looking up for you! Looking forward to learning more about your new fam and new videos to come! Changes can be hard but also a blessing! I need more of your exfoliation foam! That stuff is amazing! ❤❤❤
Not everyone has the opportunity to recover after life's storms so I am happy to hear that for you, things are now going better. I have been popping in occasionally to see if any kind of status update had been posted and to rewatch some of my favourite videos you've done. Question: When trying to preserve the sand collar egg casing are you hoping to preserve the texture too or mainly the shape/look?
Omg❣ I was so very afraid life/hurricane got to you. So very gratefull it has not❣ You have been a light of calmness for me everytime i watch. God's gift to me is how i view it, so amazing the feeling of listening to you. Learning the water's way, of shelling, scenery, its a blessing listening at nite after a rough day of stress. Thankyou for that. My life has changed too. Here's a thought: perhaps you could do clips of what all you do with your beauty business. The eyebrows n whatnot. I have seen a few videos from others, mostly they are ftom other countries like in Asia/Eroupe. Something to checkout n tailor to your liking of how it appeals to selfcare. Many reasons why women or men deal with certain issues. I have a g-son with a unibrow that he hates, but doesnt go to get it professionally taken care of. Embarrassment i think, but you could give advice/technique/n the right way why to care of such. Just a thought i'ld share. Love ya, honey❣🥰 < Hugs
So happy you're back, and also happy things are looking up. Your videos are just so relaxing and enjoyable, I anticipate the shelling journey you bring us on. Cant wait for more vids, even the fishing ones! You're doing so much good with what you have. Thank you! ❤
It’s so good to hear your voice and your story. I’ve wondered often about how you are doing. You are a strong woman and inspiring too. Thank you for sharing this with us. Looking forward to seeing you again in the near future and if we make it to Marco in the Fall, we will charter with you guys!
Glad to see you back! I have thought of you often when watching shelling videos and wondered what had happened. Great advice about life and I can't wait to see more virtual shelling videos. ❤
Welcome back Laura!! Have thought of you often this past year and am so glad to know you are doing better. I will be in Marco the month of Nov so maybe we can do a shelling trip together!! I’m so excited Take care and welcome home.
