    Hey Jennifer....How many of us ever take a moment when we are feeling anxious or agitated caused by our nervous systems being out of whack, and actually sit still and tell ourselves, "it's all ok, everything is ok". How many of us have told ourselves that we love ourselves? How many of us have sat down and embraced ourselves saying those words?? A few moments before sitting down to your wonderful video, I was feeling anxious and tense because of an overloaded nervous system that seems to ignite itself all on its own, during stressful times....I decided to have a seat and embrace myself in a big hug, holding my arms and saying, "I know I am nervous and anxious right now, but I love myself enough to sit still for a few moments, my breathing is now calm, and I know that I am healthy and strong and everything is going to be ok". I then finish with a nice deep breath in and a longer exhale out. I then remind myself throughout the day when this happens, that I love myself and am doing my very best...that's all I or anyone can do. Sometimes we forget with everything going on that the most important person to give a big old hug and an I love you to is....ourselves. xo

    I said no to exterior Christmas lights this year. I sold my Santa and reindeers, bears etc to a man who goes all out for the neighborhood, and whose Decorations went kerplunk. So, I felt great selling them. I have a beautiful tree and I bought a wonderful large painting of close up poinsettias. It makes me so happy to look at. I feel just great not having the stress of putting up and taking down the icicles and having more space in the basement.

    I’ve been struggling with vertigo for over a week now. The last time I had it was in August when my daughter started high school. I know my vertigo is stress related but there’s so much to be done. Thankfully winter break begins soon so periods of rest will be easier to access. 🎄

    ps: someone requested a grounding mat for Christmas and I have just began to do the research but its intriguing. Your frequent trips outside seem to be the theory if you remove your shoes. The mat is for people that cannot go outside as often. I'm still learning the benefits.

    When I feel vertigo or a cold coming on, I take an over the counter decongestant for sinus drainage only and it knocks it out. It also helps my husband when he starts to get it and he says it helps alot. It is the one they claim does not work and they(the drug companies) had plans to pull it from the shelves! It absolutely does work for us. He has had severe vertigo over the years and has had to go to the doctor for it. We stocked up on them, when I heard they were going to pull it. You can also get the original kind you have to sign for from the pharmacy.

I know it's not easy but try to rest as much as possible. You work so hard. I'm in love with your Christmas tree. I bought a new tree and it's taken me two days to decide to put it together. Wish me luck with the decorating as I am not at all inspired being dizzy a lot (from a small stroke I had four years ago). But, I know I will eventually get it done.

The Christmas season is so full of anxious feelings 😢 At church yesterday, our pastor reminded us to not let the reason of Christmas pass us by....Jesus" birth to save us🙏⚘️This gives me peace. I, too, suffer from vertigo from time to time. It lasted for 6 months one time and was so debilitating. I am so sorry you're going through this! My doctor said the diet is important...no sodium, alcohol or caffeine. So, basically the American diet😅Hang in there and I'll be praying for healing and peace for you🎄✨️

    I love the flowers in your yard - just lovely. The birds and the squirrels in my yard think I'm their garden fairy for sure - even my husband enjoys feeding the squirrels, he built a squirrel feeder which holds corn on the cob and has room for nuts - he also made a simple one that sits on the ground and holds an ear of corn - now we have a rabbit that comes most every evening and eats some of the corn!! Who knew wild rabbits liked corn? We love nature and sitting in the evenings and watching the birds, squirrels and hoping that the rabbit will come is calming and enjoyable. If you don't have a bird bath consider getting one and you will have endless entertainment. I'm so sorry for the vertigo - maybe you've just had a slight ear infection! Merry Christmas from your fan in SC.

    Was surprised in reading the comments, that so many of us have dealt with vertigo . I’ve had it off & on for many years due to Ménière’s disease. It has caused some anxiety which I deal with best I can. It has improved somewhat over time with some lifestyle changes. On a lighter topic, I loved seeing the wildlife in your backyard. I also love birds. I usually see ducks on my daily walk and when they are quacking it sounds like they are laughing at us humans. Also love seeing snowy egrets, silent and so graceful and beautiful. Hope that your vertigo stops and you continue to enjoy the holidays. Loved the charcuterie board you created in a previous vlog. Merry Christmas to you & yours.🎄

    I used to suffer from vertigo. I had a prescription in the beginning but I later found that taking ginkgo biloba daily worked as well. I went off the prescription but continued taking ginkgo for about a year after. I stopped taking ginkgo 5 years ago and the vertigo has never returned.

I don't mean that begrudgingly, but just as I hold the honored role of mother these responsibilities fall to me. It is always a relief and a blissful moment when I can sit back and feel I successfully provided more beautiful memories for my family and myself too.

    I think we'd all be surprised at the many ways stress manifests itself in our body. When you are stressed and tensed up, notice where the tension is. For me, it's mostly my lower gut. For some it's their chest and others they notice in their head/neck. It can show up in many different ways.

Dr. Carol Foster has some videos on TH-cam about vertigo and her maneuver. I also read her book about positional vertigo which I found had helpful information. I tried some of the different maneuvers (epley, half somersault, semont) and went to vestibular rehabilitation. I wish you a fast recovery.❤🙏

    I’m so sorry to hear that you have vertigo. When life becomes challenging, try to remember to delegate what you can to other family members and friends. I’ll give you an example : I am part of a racing crew and we sail in a race every week on the Chesapeake Bay March - November. This past summer the lady who operates our mailsail was suffering from vertigo for the first time in her life. She was unable to look up at the mast without feeling dizzy so she still sailed with us but she sat behind the wheel in the center of the boat and another crew member took her position. Her vertigo unfortunately lasted the rest of the season however we still sailed and so did she. We kept our crew together by making adjustments and we did not exclude her. We all need to learn how to shift positions in times of crisis so that we can sail on together. So, I hope that you will find ways to delegate tasks as needed so that you can get the rest that you need and deserve.
    Merry Christmas Jennifer ! 🎁
