Magie, you’re on of my forever friends. I’m so grateful for AuthorTube for bringing you into my orbit. We’ve shared so much over the last few years and I can’t wait for the day we get to meet in person finally so I can get my real life hug! 💜❤️💜
You are truly such a fantastic human that I am beyond honored to call, friend. Thank you for helping me navigate my entrance into the community. Thank you for your love and I am so excited for this next season of your life. Follow your heart and bring us all the great content cause you have so much to give to this world, friend. Loved the writer's retreat footage! And of course, give us all the precious Brylee! Hugs
Des, you have been a gift. Your joy is infectious. Your talent is inspiring. And your beauty, both inside and out are off the charts. Keep being awesome and doing you. I love seeing you thrive. 💜
Hugs. Much love on the new journey, and I'll see you on the streams. My mother, who has M.S. and DDD and a few other diseases plans to start a platform about living with her diseases etc. I look forward to your content. ❤🎉🎉
Barrett!!! I have loved getting to know you and being honored enough to call you my friend and one of the best people I know. You are an amazing human being and I would watch anything you put out no matter what it's about (had to restrain myself from saying I will follow you anywhere...oops I just did lol). I'm not going anywhere, you're stuck with me friend. Also, really loving the Brylee breaks here. Just warms my heart so much 😁😍Love you Barrett! ❤❤
We’ve been to hell and back, a couple times, and we’re still here. I have nothing but love for you. I’m always rooting for you and love seeing you thrive. This year is your year, I can feel it. Keep inspiring us all and keeping us filled with joy every time we hear that infectious laugh. XO 💜❤️💜
Here's to 2024, I hope it's awesome for you! Looking forward to seeing your adventures, no matter where they take you. I'm sure the vast majority of us will be sticking around to see!
Barrett I have missed these videos. I was thrilled to hear you were back in any fashion. Whatever you do you will succeed and I am here for the journey, supporting you along the way 100%. I still want to read your stuff because I know your heart is on that page. Your non-fiction and advocacy is something that is needed in this season. I am proud of you for embracing it. I look forward to a continued friendship with you. Cheers to the new year. Sending you all the love from Texas. -Jess 💜
Jess this was the comment I needed to brighten a tough day! Thank you so much for not. I appreciate it more than you know. 💜 I hope this finds you healthy, well and thriving!
Oh, the writers' retreat!!!! Envy, envy!!! This is a lovely video, Barrett. Re: concentrating on your health and taking a break from YT is totally understandable. Love you loads!
Regina you are and will always be one of my faves. You’re always welcome to come to the Midwest and join us this year. Fur babies more than welcome too. 💜❤️💜 Thank you for your kindness, love and leadership. 🏳️🌈 We are better as a community having you in it.
I met you first when your channel had a few hundred members when Authortube wasn't on your radar yet. So you best believe I will be here for the future. You know I am a disabled and struggling person with all things disability so I will appreciate anything that gives me a giggle will always help. SO my friend Dot. I am encouraging you in your endeavors and excited to chat more about your new career. xxx S Side note the music you were background music is such a bop! and your living room is absolutely GORGEOUS !! I am so jealous of your table!!!
Suey, or ROSE, rather! 💜❤️💜 This comment just brightened my day. I wasn’t even able to say I was disabled back then, I wasn’t sure that label fit me. Of course, a few years later I know better and recognize I didn’t even know what O didn’t know. I love you to the moon and back. Hope your dad is well, sending you all the love and best wishes for a healthy and prosperous new year.
Dot own that label! I know its hard to do. But people with invisible disabilities need to speak out more and loud so the ones in the back can hear. I know how tough it can be to have an invisible disability the side eyes the standup arguments. Dad is well! having a reply from you is like receiving a giant hug 12000 miles away I can never that you enough for the work you did with me editing The Dollhouse. little did we know what was to come. I can't wait for you to reach into that pool of information and experience much LOVE B!@@BarrettLaurie
Barrett!!!! Friend!!!! It's so great to see your face on my screen again. I think you are so bloody brave actually evaluating where you are in life and opting to pivot. I will follow you wherever you end content-wise as I watch your channel for your amazing personality and aura. Aww, you guys looked like you had tons of fun on the Writer's Retreat, then again throw good people in a room and you're bound for a good time. Congrats on all the successes in 2023, wishing you prosperity, health, wealth, and peace in 2024. Love you friend ❤ Editing to add this after watching to the end: We DEFINITELY owe Britney an apology. Dang sis went through a lot, and for the most part, she went through in silence with the world criticizing her. Also thank you for the repeated shoutouts. I can't wait to read Disability In The Workplace (totally fake title by the way world lol) as I'm sure it will help me get my life. haha ok let me stop talking now before I extend this essay of a comment lol
We need you to join us for one of these writing retreats! We need a bunch of our peeps to join us to just have those belly laughs in person. It was good for our souls. I am so grateful you came into my world. You bring light and joy everywhere you go and damn you are talented. I count myself lucky to know you. Sending you all the love, good energy and well wishes for the new year! 💜❤️💜
You’re too sweet for words. I will still be doing some book discussion livestreams and I would love to follow up on your series at some point. I’ll reach out when I get into that zone. 💜
Glad you are taking a turn for what you need, and you'll still be popping in and seen. I look forward to learning along with you on this new shift in your content. It might help me when I'm in next stage of career(Currently just started 2nd bachelors so not for few years). You've been dealing with IBD far longer than me and you have been such a help, even if only a couple messages spread over like a year and a half, that I look forward to getting ideas and tips from you and your experience. Virtual hugs to you!
It makes me happy that you are finding your way back into what you love ❤ I only discovered author tube two years ago, and you bet I'll stick around and find out how things develop for you. I'm struggling with caling myself disabled and am still looking for where I fit in this 'new' world, so I'm hoping to learn and pick up some tips. Writing retreats look like so much fun ❤I hope I will get the opportunity to do that one day.
I love that I’m not alone with the struggle with the disabled label. Actually, it will be the topic of a vlog coming up and also a livestream I’m doing at the end of the month. I think that is more common than not. I’m so grateful to have gotten to know you over the years. We’ll navigate where we fit in the disabled space together. 💜💜
I've never felt disabled. Just diferently abled. life is a constant battle of adaption and We adapt to our surroundings the best we can in our own way. It also doesn't matter how we ended up in our conundrum or when or for how long we've been. What matters is that we have friendship love and abilites to share our own versions of adaption of how to live with diisabilities. And Catpaw I understand where you are coming from. I can't say it happens over night finding where that puzzle piece...(us) fits into the world. At 45 I'm still finding my way. But I can say for sure you and everyone else on this comment are definitely not alone. We got this! get up and keep going. To Barrett, I'm definitely not going anywhere bub. :) I wish you better stabler health, I wish you peace and love for both you and Ricky. 🫂 to you both
So good to see you again! ❤ I totally understand the decision that you made here (you know I would). It’s a difficult place between letting go and “let’s go.” You wonder who you are, who you are becoming, and how people will perceive you. Just too much to talk about here (maybe time for a call one day). But know that I totally support what’s next and what’s best for you. And, of course, I’m always here for Brylee’s adventures! 😊 Sending ❤ & hugs to all of you!
Oh my goodness. I can’t tell you how happy I am to see you pop up in my comments. I welcome that call. You nailed it, exactly. Something tells me you know exactly what I mean. Give Laddy my best! And I hope to catch up soon. Stay warm up there, it is bitter cold down here. Someday I look forward to a meet in person. Because you’re such an indelible part of my journey. 💜
Loved seeing your writing retreat!! I did one for my birthday last weekend and it was amazing. Wishing you all the luck with vlogs, and will be sticking around to watch!
It is so fun to spend time with other writers laughing and sharing the stuff only we get. The weird search histories, making our significant others talk through that scene for the 10th time and dreaming about our characters! Thats all the fun of the writing retreat. Like minds coming together. I hope you’re well my friend. I hope this new year has you healthy and thriving.
TWO blogs in ONE! That’s a lot of time lapse-I feel like that takes courage in itself, since I’m always scared the phone will shut off from no space. Oh, 2024… let’s see some truth and beauty ❤🎉 good luck with the new content, friend! You’re the best type of friend to listen to, no matter what you’re saying 😻
I'm excited for you!!! And also excited for what the non-fiction work will do for you and for those who get to read it. Also excited for you to do your pen name short fiction work without the pressure of video content. Love all the footage we go from the past few months!!!
I always look forward to any and all content you have here! Be it videos or livestreams, I’ll be here! My videos have moved away from strictly only books and moved to an author/travel/life channel. Mainly because I think it’s much too hard to only do one type of videos forever. Anyways, loved all the content in this videos and especially the cooking :) the beach looked so warm and amazing! It’s a state we haven’t been to, as of yet.
Stephanie, I have always enjoyed everything you share. There was a point where I was so inspired by your families decision to go out on the road during the pandemic I tried to talk me husband into it. We just couldn’t figure out his work on the road. 😞 So I lived vicariously through you. I hope your new year is off to a fabulous start.
As long as I have a YT account and I'm consuming content I'll be around until whenever. I definitely miss you chronicling your writing journey. But considering the current state of querying and traditional publishing being utter trash... You're definitely better off focusing on your health and nurturing your precious friendships. 💛
Thank you. There may be some querying in my future. Just of the nonfiction variety. But you know I definitely don’t disagree on the state of trad pub. Why does it have to be so messy? 😅 I hope this finds you thriving in the new year. 💜
I look forward to any content you make and every stream you are on. You are one of the bright souls in the world. All my love.
Ditto!
Magie, you’re on of my forever friends. I’m so grateful for AuthorTube for bringing you into my orbit.

I can’t wait to watch her journey! Let me know the name when she starts it! 💜💜
@@BarrettLaurie I sure will. She is also a raw vegan so she will be talking about her journey with food and how it has helped her with pain. 😘
@@AuthorDLTillery yes! Can’t wait for the content!

Keep inspiring us all and keeping us filled with joy every time we hear that infectious laugh. XO 💜❤️💜
Welcome to the club of people who took a break from authortube! All the best ❤
Yay! Glad I’m not alone. I’ve been following your journey on Insta! Glad to catch up with your new vids!
Here's to 2024, I hope it's awesome for you! Looking forward to seeing your adventures, no matter where they take you. I'm sure the vast majority of us will be sticking around to see!
Thank you for this Cassie! 💜 This was a bright spot in a long week. 💯

*gets popcorn. It's been so long since a Barrett video has dropped!
It has been a minute. 💜💜
Working on changing that. All my love to you and yours. Stay warm. It’s frigid out there.
You do what you feel like your mind and body are calling you to do! You are an inspiration, sir. So excited that you'll still pop in whenever you can!
Thanks my friend. I appreciate the good energy. 💜❤️💜
You know I'll still be here for all the crohnie content! 😁
We got that butt bond. 😂🤣💜 Poor Tiff on that group chat! 🤣😅🤣👯
🤣🤣 That's real love right there when someone listens to you talk about your butt and gut issues lol@@BarrettLaurie
@@AuthorMorganLee isn’t that the truth. 💜
What a fun day at the beach.🏝️ I think Brylee loves it!
Thanks Dee! It was a great trip! 💜💜
@@BarrettLaurie fantastic!
Wishing you so much love and luck for the future Barrett ❤️ I'll watch anything you put on here!
You’re too sweet for words. I will still be doing some book discussion livestreams and I would love to follow up on your series at some point. I’ll reach out when I get into that zone. 💜

Virtual hugs fellow IBD Warrior. It is a tough road but one I know you can manage. I’m a message away if you need any advice offline. 💜
