Thanks so much, Kate. I really appreciate your comment. I think it&#039;s best to be true to who you are and if others can&#039;t handle it, then that&#039;s ok. :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What a wonderful friendship!  Hank sounds like a wonderful man.  It&#039;s a great thing to have a profound connection like that.  

I found your post because I feel that sometimes in my life I&#039;ve been too blunt and it&#039;s cost me friendships.  But from hearing your words, I just need to realize that I am who I am.]]></description>

Thanks so much Isaac and sorry for my late reply. I haven&#039;t been online that much lately - as I&#039;ve been working away outside. But, now I am caught up. How have you been doing with everything? Also, I agree about even the smallest of goals or tasks being overwhelming! I can relate! I have been feeling that way lately. I hope you are doing alright. :)))]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I had to read that post again. Life is short,  even the smallest of goals can be overwhelming at times.  You: &#039;&#039;Overall, I hope that if you read this – it might inspire you to live life more fully.&#039;&#039;    I&#039;m trying, contentment is the goal, isn&#039;t that the most important thing, just to be content.  Getting there is possible, so I push on, always being positive, always with a goal in sight. I look to you, all you do,  chipping away , you&#039;re always pushing forward, you&#039;re brilliant. I can understand how you miss your friend, it can be so difficult to keep all our thoughts and hopes and fears locked up inside, sometimes we all need a shoulder, to express our viewpoint, someone to listen, someone to encourage and cheer us on. Life without that can be frustrating.]]></description>

Gabby, thank you so much for your sweet comment! I am shocked you thought I was 20! That&#039;s awesome. Also, when you mentioned liziqi - I was so happy. I started watching her videos many months ago and was entranced and amazed at her beautiful content and creations. I haven&#039;t been watching her in months for some reason - but I am going to check her out again today! If I remind you of her at all, that is such a nice compliment and thank you. I love her style of videos - just so relaxing and gorgeous. I agree what you said - she is amazing. Her grandma is so cute. She really inspires me - with what she is doing, her environment and her videos. Thank you so much for mentioning her! I hope as the weather gets warmer, I can do outside videos with my good camera and do some DIYs out there. Anyway, thanks again and I hope stay safe and healthy through all this stuff that&#039;s going on! Take care!!!]]></description>

Everyone is talking about the same thing seems like nowadays . It’s your authenticity and realness that is so charming and your beautiful! I thought you were 20 and then you mentioned your son! I was like this girl is FULL of suprises lol there’s a you tuber called liziqi....look her up. You remind me of her. Once you see her videos you’ll be like <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f633.png" alt="😳" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> O M GEE. She’s amazing . She lives on the countryside and makes the most ethereal visuals of her daily country life.  And she does it alone as well to help her grandma. Her story is heart wrenching and very inspiring.]]></description>

Happy Thanksgiving Holly,  you&#039;re an amazingly talented and inspiring person. Have a relaxing day ! :)

  Yep got back into account, it randomly allowed me to log in, and once in I managed to add an email address that I have access to, which is lucky, as  the next time I logged in it asked to verify lol .]]></description>

Hi Isaac! Thank you so much! You&#039;re too kind. My middle name goes well with it too - Beth. So, I think you fixed your youtube login problem, right? I think I saw a comment from you. I am about to go on there today and reply to recent ones. That&#039;s weird about needing to verify now out of nowhere.I lost access to some old youtube accounts but I eventually figured out how to get back into them. :) I hope you&#039;re doing well, Isaac! Thanks for the nice comment!]]></description>
