I just want you to understand how much I love you How much I love to do channeling how much I love to do videos for you I'm trying to create a video to help you connect with loved ones because it's that time of year when I know the holidays are tough I know because I've talked to a lot of different people and so I'm in this little nook area in my room and The doc thinks somebody's here. It's like dark outside and It's probably maybe just like The noise for me like sitting down in my chair or something and he's freaking out and it's the funny part is is This is the dog that doesn't hear very well anymore. So Louie Come on Come here Louis Come here. No, he's coming. Okay. I can't turn my phone my camera on. I'm not sure how to do that here Let's see Oh, no now one of our other dogs is fighting with the dog that was barking. Okay, great. Okay, come on Come on All right, so let's make this a vlog. All right. This is what I have to do you guys I go through great lengths to try to hide out to do Work on the fan is still on here another room turn that off All right. Okay All right. So real life This is busy time of year not just for you, but for me as well, of course for all of us it seems like the time when people really need us a lot but We're also very aware of our own commitment. So I have family obviously. Oh great The dog is like playing with something. I don't know what Toby Let's see He is crazy. Oh my gosh, Toby The dogs are very happy that we're back from our little vacation. So that's good. Hey, what do you got? Hey, you got come here. Do you want to show the people you? Hi, I mean at your snowshoer. How are you doing? Can I keep the spaces? Look at this cute face. I can't really see his face. I guess We'll go to Bunga Bye. Okay, just a minute. Oh, I can't even I don't think I can lift him up here Just a minute. Let me see if I can lift him up You want to be on my vlog, huh? We're going real cash real casual Is it Toby? Hi. He's so scared. He's my scaredy dog. Oh, look at you. You look cute Can you say hi to the people? Say hi. Look at how handsome I am I'm handsome. I'm a beautiful nice boy. I'm about 10 years old. I'm really cute Okay, I get down They have a hard time on the hardwood floors They slip all over the place and you can probably hear that in some of my videos actually if you listen you can hear this little See now he's shaking. There you go This is real life you guys, okay, so This week my daughter it's her first semester of college and she's gonna be coming home at some point I've stacked a lot of sessions in this week So that the following week during the holiday week when my husband's home my daughter's home from college My two high school boys are home off school and my elementary kid is home. The entire house will be filled with my family. I Know there will be a time in my life that I will miss this I know but when you got a business and you got work you got to be doing it is hard to balance all that stuff Not unlike you guys trying to deal with your family coming into town and arrangements And some of you guys have like multiple Christmases or multiple Hanukkah days and multiple celebrations You have to be at for work for family for friends the ornament exchange all the cookie stuff all that stuff you got I Feel you guys, but I'm gonna be here for you. I'm gonna be here for you And I'm gonna try to make this fun this time fun. I'm gonna do some surprise stuff and One of the things is I'm actually which I've already posted by the time I'm sharing this vlog is That I'm doing a video where I request from you guys to give me recommendations on who to channel and what to ask so you guys are kind of like the guest you guys get to choose Why channel kind of a thing and so I've already posted that video and you have to put those recommendations on that video I'm not looking for just a list of names if I see that I'm just gonna kind of blow by it and Focus on the people who actually gave some thought to it and have questions to ask the person and that kind of thing So I'm gonna do some videos based upon you guys and what you guys really are curious about and interested in So I thought that'd be a good way to give back this year here at the end of the year and and into the new year I think it's a great way to do that to make that That that beautiful circle of our connection together. So I'm gonna do that But I have another idea something I want to do, but I'm not sure timing-wise like I said, I'm gonna have a full house so oh My goodness plus everybody's getting their haircuts this week and prep for the holiday, of course Not that we like doing anything fancy because we don't we just like wear fun t-shirts and ugly Christmas sweaters and I Wear leggings that have teddy bears in fact right now or teddy bears I have Christmas leggings on right now. These have happened to have teddy bears on them But I have some that I just got from Disney World that have Mickey Mouse on them With a Santa hat and so I have like almost a full wardrobe of Christmas attire holiday attire I'm sure that doesn't surprise you. You've probably seen in some of my videos. I have a shirt that says believe It's like purple that has sparkles and it says believe on it Which actually was my word of the year in 2019 I had three words of the year and believe and sparkle were two of them and so Yeah, so lots going on. I hope things are going okay for you I know it's craziness right now. I just I'm sending you just a ton of love just so you know like let's be honest I'm sending you some sanity From you to me for me to you Just don't don't buy into the craziness and the chaos just really focus on what's important to you And what's right in front of you don't feel bad You don't have time to feel bad about the stuff You can't get done or the guilt about not showing up someplace and having to say no to something just don't none of that there's no time for that those negative feelings and self Self-negative talk. There's no time for that just really try to do the best you can and cut yourself so much slack and Appreciate yourself a lot more because you know you deserve it You're doing the best you can and this time of year is craziness for everybody so I I am thinking of you and thinking about Ways that I can connect with you not only here in at the ending of 2019 in December But also into the new year in 2020. I've got a lot of stuff on my plate that I have to do at the last week of December and wrap up for 2020 just kind of start off the year in a really good way with a hope thing I'm gonna be doing and I'm like well, I got a lot of work to do I'm always so ambitious you guys About doing stuff, but hey, you know, it's who I am. That's how I roll. So I hope you're doing well.
