Taking responsibility for your part in a relationship is big. Getting validated from your ex about what you "perceived" as what felt real really was infact reality is a big deal. When emotions are high and you squash them for the greater good of the long term relationship can become a bad habit to the point of being unhappy but no longer knowing why. Good for you AND....good for him.
I'm a mom and grandma (two daughters and one granddaughter) and can I say I am so proud of how you have handled yourself through this season of life! 💗
I'm in my 40s, also recently divorced, and I'm in awe of how you've handed the past year. You've handled it with grace, honesty, humility, and bravery. You have every reason to be proud of yourself. I'm not sure I could even travel solo far away from home. But I can't imagine a more beautiful magical way to spend Easter. That was no happy accident. That was a blessing. ❤️. I don't know you but I'm strangely proud of you ❤️
Welcome to Michel 2.0. You're nailing it. So proud of you and your growth and your JOY. Like so many others, I need your example right now, so thank you. Rooting for you!
I'm really happy you got the necessary closure, and that he got touched by the way he treated you! You're awesome, and the Lord would continue to heal you and supply you!
So so happy everything is going great for you. And your Sis moving into the same building. Omg how awesome is that. I bet your parents are thrilled too.
There is undoubtedly a very real sense of satisfaction that comes with a clean space. Sheets, bathroom, floors, kitchen, laundry, counter tops. Totally with you on that. A clean space is a productive space. lol. Always happy to hear the words "peace" and "closure" in your videos Michel. Clearly, things are progressing in a positive direction. There's a reason the people in your past aren't supposed to make it into your future.
Maybe once the sofa is replaced & new again, you could attempt selling it and then ordering the original sofa that you wished you had purchased. Maybe your sister would even want to purchase your replacement sofa.
You are such a blessing! Just love your energy. You have always been mature for your age but you have grown so much in your independence! So much to be proud of. You go girl!
Michel, I know you as a content creator probably think that “chore” blogs are “boring” but I like them. I like seeing other people go though the same ol’ stuff I have to do. I love it when I can relate to you and be entertained while I do some of my own daily tasks!
The way you spoke about your little sister (and the way you once spoke about your ex), makes it 100% clear you are such a nurturer and caretaker of those you love. I cannot wait until the day that you meet someone that nurtures and takes care of YOU the way you do others! So excited for you and what the future holds, Michel!!
Oh my gosh your sister is about to join EY! I work out of EY NJ, but if she ever needs anything work related I am a senior in the assurance practice and would be so excited to help her out. Accounting work can definitely be brutal, but your videos always brighten up my long work days.
Hearing you got that closer from your ex warms myy heart because it was something that you needed and deserved. You've come a long way in the last year and I'm so happy for what you've accomplished to make you the person you are today. Cheers to more adventures & lots of laughs.
I have been with Thrive for years. I have repeat shipments every 4 weeks at a cheaper price. I love the high protein easy served oats. I get my white chia seeds which are hard to find as well. I sent boxes all the time to my three children when they were in college every 2 weeks. They all eat very healthy and loved this touch from me.
Everything happens for a reason & the timing of that email was perfection. It is wonderful to watch the petals of your life unfold so gracefully and in their own time. Thank you for including us on your journey. 😊 My Thrive Freebie was called the Cooking Staples Set and included: -Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Mayo ($8.79) -Fourth & Heart Grass Fed Himalayan Salted Ghee ($11.49) -Thrive Market Healthy Living Made Easy Cookbook ($24.99)
Friend, Your eyes are screaming at me throughout this entire video! So stunning, but for whatever reason they’re popping different tones, you’re beautiful.
I don't usually comment on youtube videos, but I wanted to say. I just found your channel and I'm watching all your videos, and I'm really grateful. I really relate to some of what you've shared, and I want to applaud your bravery, having a platform and sharing in such an open and kind way is a challenge in itself. I think you have a very warm and bright energy, it really shines through in your videos. It's a lovely authenticity. I think you are making a great influence on any young lady who might watch your videos. I hope you have a good weekend! Look after yourself, and always show yourself the same kindness and patience you would show to others. Many blessings.
As someone who’s sister is also her best friend, I am SO EXCITED for you to have her living in your building!!! And as someone who worked at a Big4, she is going to need you and appreciate your treats and just having you close so so much.
Greece!!! My husband is from Greece!!! We may be going around the same time. I met my husband in Greece! So glad you got the closure you deserved!!! Praise God!
I’ve been watching you since the early days and I’m so proud to see how much you have grown. I’m glad you got some closure and I’m so sorry you had to go through so much, but I’m glad that it’s helped grow you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
God has such a beautiful plan for your life, Michel! And it's so lovely to watch it unfold each step of the way. Keeping you in my prayers & sending you lots of love!!! :) xx
I am so happy he let you know how he felt and you two have closure! God does wonders and you gave so much patience and love now it’s your time to receive it back.
CONGRATULATIONS 🍾🎉🎊 MICHEL ON CLOSING THIS CHAPTER AND OPENING OF MANY OTHER BEAUTIFUL DOORWAYS! ALSO FOR SHARING THESE DIFFICULT MOMENTS, BUT NOW THERE IS ANOTHER RAINBOW LETS SEE WHATS AT THE END OF IT❤️
Even when the door is closed and you have moved on someone who has wronged you taking responsibility for their actions helps validate your feelings. Love vlogs like this with updates. And I LOVE seeing you do better.
Loving the Lighthouse Blue! So happy you were able to get some closure from your divorce and that everything is finally done!!! Here's to new beginnings!
Congratulations on all the great news!!! I'm so happy to hear that your sister is moving into your building!! What a blessing to have her so close!! Oh & welcome home 😁. I'm looking forward to seeing your next vlog 😁. I love the way Max was so excited for your delivery full of goods!!! He was so precious jumping up trying to get a little bit of the stuff!!! Oh & Max sure looks handsome after the trip to the groomer 💕😘!!! Have a wonderful day Michel 😃. Prayers & Wishes Lisa Hampton 😃
Hi Michel - there is usually a passport office near by for emergency/rushed needs. I live in NJ and our closest ones are in NY and Phili. So, maybe check close by major cities - maybe where your local federal office buildings are. Hope this helps
Wow! I can really tell how happy you are and much more confident! You are at home now, and you have a growing social circle. I'm so happy for you. Also, amazing and wonderful news about your sister. Life is good!
You saying you had that convo with your ex really made me want to share that to me that seems like just the Lord saying “I see you, and it’s just a gift to honor all your work and how honoring your have been in marriage and in divorce. “ He is in the small things and he sees you and it warms my heart to see you get things you never imagined
I felt the same way; the Lord waiting on the perfect timing of that email, after her trip. Michel, God is so proud of you (as are we!) and seeing you thrive and do big things on your own is God showing you how strong and capable you are.
I love your vlogs..your voice is so soothing..then excited...but great...you have gone thru alot..plus living with a daily health issue is tough. You are such an inspiration..I get my food delivery from my grocery store..it helps so much..I don't drive so it helps..keep it up sweetie..learning alot..God Bless..
I’m really happy that you got the closure you needed. It’s a difficult process but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel!!! Girl I have to say I need a big subscription box reveal!!! It’s been like a year since you’ve done one of these videos!!! I live for these!!!
It sounds like a gift from God for you to have had that conversation with your ex. The truth sets us free, and I think for him to acknowledge his actions is paramount to his healing and allowing him to grow and move forward. You’ve been so respectful and honoring to him which shows such beautiful maturity and Christ likeness. I’m proud of you 👏from my little corner of the internet. I’m really enjoying getting to witness how the Lord is bringing such redemption already, because that is who He is. God bless and thank you for the wholesome, fun content!
I have to say I am really happy to hear you were able to get closure with your ex. Sometimes it doesn’t happen and i have had to learn that you have to give yourself your own closure when the other person won’t. But on the times it happens it is such a blessing and a gift for both people. Prayers for continued healing, forgiveness, reflection, and growth for both of you. ❤️
I've been in Austin for about 3 weeks now and I'm starting to recognize some of the places you are going to! Great city. The weather is all over the place. lol!
You should be quite proud of yourself for all that you have accomplished this past year. You are an inspiration to stay positive to create a positive outlook.
I am so happy for you. You are such a sweet kind person. I love seeing your parents and sister in your Vlogs. I have one suggestion. I’m one of your older viewers. I do have one suggestion. I think it would be great if you found another song for the end of your vlogs. You are far to beautiful and smart to”stay up all night to see if someone has been texting you.”
I throughly enjoyed this vlog, you’re doing great as far as I’m concerned 😉 Thankful you were able talk with him and get more closure. Keep on keeping on❣️😘
I am so happy you got your closure and I love your nails and channel. You are such a positive and wonderful person. I also loved seeing Boston and Maine during your vlogs I’ve never been and they look beautiful.
First, I want to say I’ve been following for a while and love being part of this friend group. Your videos are always a bright spot in my day. Second, if you continue playing around with film cameras you should see if you can find a local development place! I’ve been dabbling myself and found you get a lot better quality with local places and you get the film negatives back which is super cool to have as an archive! Wish you the best!!
For your afternoon slump when you need coffee try munching on some chocolate covered espresso beans while you are on the go. They are the perfect pocket-sized pick me up. ❤
OMG! Lupini beans! I used to love those when I was little and lived next door to my neighbors from Italy! I haven't thought about those for years ( I am old enough to be your grandma, lol)
Hey, Michel! When you read out your Thrive Market info, you say “backslash” but the symbol on screen is a slash/forward slash, not a backslash. Just checking to see which is correct….Love your channel even more now that you’re taking time for yourself!
I love all your videos. I had a thought that despite being hurt by your break up and then divorce, but being respectful to not tell your side, whilst the hurt being raw, and doing the blame game, possibly allowed your ex, to really Hear you, instead of immediately becoming defensive. This helped make a space, to allow reflection and acknowledgement. I love seeing your growth and processing life, especially with the Christian influence over it all!
Visa HQ expedites passport stuff. You pay a little extra, but the peace of mind is amazing. I did it for a trip to India, and I had a great experience.
You always inspire me! And I admire you!! You are a very strong and independent young lady. And I’m so happy that I get to see these videos and you’re genuinely happy. You’re in a much better head space! I’ve been with you on this channel for such a long time! Back when you were in your apartment! And a lot for you has changed. But I’ve never seen you this happy! You deserve nothing but the best in life! And thank you for always sharing and posting and helping!! Love, from Fort Worth, Tx!

Good morning Michel happy Thursday morning and I just wanted to say that your vlogs is amazing I loved your channel always because you are sweetheart and you are amazing Supporter
Whoa! I just looked at your subscriber number...129K. Did it just take a big jump? What a blessing to have closure and that your ex "owned his choices" and is okay with you sharing your journey. Take care!
I changed mine a few years ago just had to send my decree in as proof. It wasn’t hard. ETA: I signed up under you back in February I don’t remember my free gift but I’ve made several orders so far and they have given me a gift with each of my orders and extra savings each time with a promo code. My order last month I got a free Well People brightening powder and my order yesterday I made I had gotten a promo code for 50% off my order up to $40 and a free Mineral sunscreen. My favorite things to order so far is the King Arthur Gluten-free pancake mix and the Food should taste good sweet potato tortilla chips!
Will you tell us what the Apple store said about your computer in the next vlog? I’m a tech nerd so now I need to know what’s wrong with it and how or if they fixed it.
I'm so happy for you. My divorce was finalized Feb. 11. It took over a year. But I now need clarification and enforcement from the court. It's crazy since I have no kids. I want to share my story but I'm also scared.
Thank you for sharing about your divorce I know that’s something personal but you really you inspire me. I love watching your videos and I’m so happy that you have come along way.
hahahhaha ok i bought a candle and a lighter just like the one you used in the video but somehow my lighter wouldnt light at all. so i need to light another mini lighter to help light this one.......until i see how you used it!!! oh turned out i need to also push the button on top....lol it works!!!!
I used your Thrive Market code! I can't wait to taste everything! BTW the free gift for me was a cookbook, 2lbs basmati rice, and mayo with avocado oil.
