Oh my gosh, I am currently working my way through all of your videos from the bottom up and you are just THE. SWEETEST. I adore you ♥️ Love, Nicole xxx
I love how your channel is so much ray of positivity but also you keep it real by letting people know that you haven't been feeling your 100% lately. I think a lot of content creators fail to show this side of their lives, and it's nice to know that very positive channels like yours also experience struggles like the rest of us ordinary people. Thank you for the uplifting spirit. I wish you well in everything!
I live in Michigan and snow is the norm for many months out of the year and I dont miss it when its gone...but watching this is making me miss it a little. I love watching the first snowfall of the year when i dont have anywhere to go. Obsessed with your videos. 😍
This video was very HYGGE, and i loved you heart to heart talk at the end. IT hasn't snow at all in my country and it actually weird. Take care of you self in this time, you video does bring me joy, but it is you, it just always seem like you are calm and happy, and living a life that makes you happy, and thats what inspire me, and makes me happy, and you dog helps 😂.
Thank you so very much, Collyre (lovely name) ✨ Snow is unusual for Portland, but sooo very beautiful-- I was in awe all day ❄️ I'm so happy you've found this channel and that I've inspired you somehow (and Mr. RoO too 🐾) Hugs from Oregon!

Morgan Long Oh wow thank you so much for Y💖UR beautiful comment 🙏💓 Your words sent ripples through me. I have been mostly a “closeted writer” and only in the last year or so have been finding ways to share. I write poetry for my creative business so thank you for seeing me in this true light 🌟Your intuitive gift is strong and your knack for seeing the small details of the everyday (people, places, things) is a magical one that you sprinkle in your videos.

Hello from the city of Luanda in Angola. Just discovered your channel during these crazy year and I adore reading books a lot (it’s what keeps me sane as a mom of 3 precious sons)....thank you for your awesome vlogs and book ideas I can get from you ! Stay safe
I’m very new to your channel so have been looking back over previous videos you have posted. I just love how peaceful and beautiful you and your content are. I absolutely loved your heart to heart at the end, it actually brought tears to my eyes. Love your videos ❤️
I'm so grateful for you as well. I found your channel one month ago and I've never felt more relaxed watching a TH-cam video 🌿 I find myself clicking on your older video's whenever I feel the need to unwind and relax. So thank you Morgan, thank you so much 💛
I like how you talk, such a calming voice. I've been trying to convince my in-laws who lives in a different state to stop big family gatherings and they just won't listen... I really don't understand why people would take such serious issue as if there's nothing going on. I feel so mentally tired. So thanks for the relaxing video, as always.
It's so difficult to try to convince people who would rather believe everything is fine and their actions don't matter. It's best just to focus on what you can do yourself and hope that they're inspired to do the same. Many well wishes to you and your family 💛
Thank you Morgan, I'm so glad I watched this video. You are indeed a great source of inspiration and light on this channel. I could feel the good vibes and sincere passion to your viewers and speaking for myself, I caught all those good vibes to create a lovely day for myself. Keep it coming this is immensely appreciated during these times of uncertainty xx
I just came across your channel. You are such a beautiful old soul! I too am from Portland and it was so cool to see someone from home. Life is tough but it's people like you, all of you actually that bring light and goodness into a crazy time. 🥰
Just recently discovered your channel and almost 5 months to the day later your words still ring true. So happy to have found you as you really have been helping me decompress during the stressful time. Thank you for being you!
This video was so perfect, so timely and well-balanced in every way. It brought tears to my eyes in the end when you gave your heart to 💗. Seeing the snow, cozy fire and the normal daily things you do was so refreshing to see. It was a reminder that we have more good days then bad, if you look at the whole picture. Your encouragement could not be at a better time. You are a blessing to all of us who watch. I'm confident in saying this. We need to remember that we will get through this and although we are taking precautions, we still must be hopeful and see the best of times in the worst of times. I thank you for doing just that. When I saw you post a new video I felt a sense of relief because I knew you would shed some positive light in this gloom. Thank you Morgan and Landon, and Roo!
You are such a beautiful writer! I'm not saying this because your comment if full of compliments to met-- I mean it as an English major observing your sentence structure and train of thought! You're so wonderfully to the point and choose the BEST words to communicate your thoughts. I hope you're writing a book! A memoir of sorts :) Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tamar, for your many kind words 💗 I raise my tea mug to caring, optimistic YOU and your sweet family! You are most definitely a light in this world ✨
@@MorganLong You are very welcome! I am speechless! Lol...thank you!🥰💗 I have been complimented on my writing on assignments, projects and such but in everyday conversation like this, never. I love words and like to use them wisely. :) I raise my tea to you also! Stay healthy.🤗
@@MorganLong 🤗 By the way, vegans must be the only ones not running out of food at the major grocery stores. The healthy foods are always the last left in stock! 😂
I spotted Wildwood on your shelf, my favorite book trilogy! I love your channel so much! Your vlogs are so cozy and comforting, I love to watch them after a stressful day.
I know this video was published a little while ago, but I just had to say something. I discovered your channel a few days ago, and I fell in love. Your videos make me feel so relaxed and at home, a wonderful feeling, really. I know you haven’t been feeling brilliant recently, but you’ve changed my life. I know that sounds so dramatic, but it’s honestly the truth. I feel so motivated and just happy. I’m honestly so inspired by you, and I hope you know that you are amazing and it’s so calming to just wind down with a cup of tea and watch one of your videos. Thank you so much for filming these, I really appreciate them. 💕
Mo, this video is magic. I lived this day with you, and reliving it was potentially even better. You make us all feel so good with these and I know you’ve got something special here. Your heart to heart at the end was so needed for so many out there, your words and energy truly make life better, for me and so many others. I love you!!!!
Ahhh, my HEART. Landon, I love you oh so very very much-- thank you, thank you, thank you for your constant support and positivity 💛 You are an absolutely essential part of my creativity. Without you, there would be no magic ✨
I go to your videos for comfort definitely - they’re so soothing and atmospheric. I love and appreciate the effort you put into the details of your videos! Stay safe, I hope you and your family are thriving with your health amidst the chaos! ❤️
I just stumbled upon your videos a week or so ago. You are such a light! You are so genuine and it really shows in all of your videos! Keep shinning girl! ❤️
Just kinda stumbled upon you and this channel. What a beautiful little space you’ve created here. I’ve subscribed immediately. Already in the first few minutes it was so obviously how much of a light you are, I love that. Thank you for you. Have a nice day x
You certainly are a bright light. Those pancakes sound delicious, I will have to find pumpkin pancake mix for myself. It's not been snowing here in Arkansas, but it has been a week of rain and more rain, so, much like you, it has been a time of cleaning and organizing for me.
Thank you so much, Stephanie ✨ Does it snow much in Arkansas? You're close to hot southern states but also may be far enough west to have snowy winters? I think I might spring clean the whole house this weekend!
I almost cry with your words, thank you my friend. You´re so sweet and especial even if the distance is to much and even if we never met. Thank you for share your life and thoughts. Just take care of you and your owns, and if you ever feel sad for a moment, remember that we love you, that you change our lifes. I can say that I return to reading, thanks to you. I don´t know why I stopped to doing it. Also I practicing my English with you videos. Again, thank you, my friend. From México, to Portland.
I loved the snow! It's very warm here now. I saved this to watch after work. Your videos bring me such joy! Hope you are staying safe. Also those pancakes looked amazing.
Editing the pancake and ramen part of this vlog was so hard-- I wanted to eat EVERYTHING. I'm so glad my videos are your after-work treat 🤗 Thank you friend
New subscriber here, I love your positive energy ❤ I loved the heart to heart. This pandemic has been hard on my mental health as well. We Will all get through this. ❤
the past few weeks i have been commenting about how stressed i am about exams etc. turns out; in the grand scheme of things that was unneccessary since theyre all canceled bc uni is closed (everything is closed in germany) AND OMG AT THIS POINT YOU SAID MY NAME AND MY HEART STOPPED!! thank you for brightening up our days and caring :) i am self isolating and this was very comforting and also knowing that you enjoy talking to us! take care!!
Aaaahh, life is such a goon!! That is the secret! We get to choose how to see our lives and how to be. Reality can be one thing and then totally change in a second! Next time something seems so overwhelming, I'll remember your exams and how they went from everything to nothing *just like that* I hope you feel free and not disappointed. You are such a determined and dedicated person-- these characteristics will take you far in life!! ✨
Maya English Thank you so much, Maya!! I hope you’ve been well and that despite all of this craziness, Spring is happening in Blacksburg and maybe brightening things with it ☀️🌷🌿
omgoodness i got so happy when i saw the notification for this video! my anxiety has been so high with everything going on, so this was exactly the source of peace and comfort i needed:) thank you for continuing to post in the midst of everything, and for being open about your feelings! i hope you and landon stay healthy and safe!!!
Thank you so much, Rhiannon!! I'm always happy to be a comfort and I hope things feel a little less scary now. It's been sunny and warm in Portland today and that's helped me so much ☀️ I hope you stay safe and healthy as well 🤗
Your vlogs are very relaxing. I watch your vlog in the evening after hectic and busy day and to be honest it vanishes away my tiredness and fatigue. Thanks so much for wonderful work. stay blessed and lots of love for you take care :)
Hi, I just found your channel and I'm loving your videos! They are so positive and fun :) Thank you for your comforting words! Greetings from Austria ❤️
Wow ! We didn't have snow where i live this year and i was so sad ! Even weather weren't cold :( I hope everything's okay and you are safe at home with your husband and your lovely dog !! Take care ♥ Many hugs from your friend from France ♥
It was such a surprise to us when we woke up in a winter wonderland! Is it unusual for it not to snow where you live? Thank you for your well wishes and BIG hugs to my first TH-cam friend 🤗
@@MorganLong it's been a while since the last snow where i live :( This winter was not cold and i was a little bit disappointed because i really love the cold season ! Take care my dear Morgan ♥
All that winter paradise at the beginning of the video made me miss Russian winter so bad! I miss the snow the most. Also, thank you for the words of encouragement. I really hope this virus situation passes soon and there will be a vaccine developed very soon or some way of treatment. In the meanwhile, you too stay safe :) Also, this video has been so beautiful and cozy
I can only imagine the winter in Russia!! If well prepared for, I bet it's absolutely magical ✨ I, too, hope we find a resolution soon for this virus-- sending you well wishes
Hello Morgan, I very much hope you are well. I feel uncomfortable at the moment. This invisible danger ... phew, I hope it's over soon. But I'm also sad for all the people who have been harmed. A nightmare. Hope, yes, we have to make the best of this difficult time . I don't let my children feel it. They give me infinite strength and joy. Maybe I heard my name there. If so ... I am very happy about it. 🙂 I am grateful that I discovered your channel and that I got to know you in this way. Take care of yourself.💞🌻🦋
Hello, Steffie! I'm so glad you have your family to get through this with. It's hard for children to understand the gravity of the situation but I don't think they need to. I think that what you're doing is the perfect way to go about it-- focus on love, light, and positivity with them, let them know that things are uncertain in the world, but what IS certain is that you have each other and will always be there fore them 💞🌻🦋 BIG hugs
Hahaha you should have seen me when I was editing that part of the video-- just wanted to eat EVERYTHING. So now I try to edit videos on a full stomach :) Thank you for your prayers-- I hope the same for you 💛
THE SNOOW IT IS SOOO BEAUTIFUL! 😍 I’m obsessed (I live in Australia so I have only seen snow 3 times in my life). Morgan I have been making my way through your videos & they are all so beautiful & magical ✨ I love that you have your own distinct style 🥰
Thank you so very much, Nicole!! I used to live in a place where it snowed often in the winter and I miss it ❄️ I'd LOVE to experience Australia though! I must say that I am very inspired by TH-camrs such as @CheyenneBarton, @ChristyAnnJones, and @JonnaJinton. My style is my own but they're all mixed in one way or another ✨
Aww was so shocked and happy when I heard my name at the end, but you are such a light in times like these Morgan ♥️Loved this video as per usual ♥️ and looking forward to the other bookshelf one 😝📖 Also so happy you love Outlander one of my fave books everrr ! Keep safee xx
Thank you so much, Ellie!! Outlander was WONDERFUL and such an inspiration to learn herbs, flowers, and everything of the sort 🌿 Well-wishes to you, your friends, and family!
I get all of my music from a licensing website called Artlist. Unfortunately, a lot of the songs aren't available anywhere else (I've tried making a playlist for everyone). To help with this, I made a 1hr Read with Me video and used all my most favorite songs from my video and listed them all in the description!
I’ve been binge watching your videos and I’m obsessed. 😭 Also, your tea kettle!! Omg I love it! Where did you find that beauty?! Loving all the books. 📚
Ahhh, thank you so much, Carmen!! I've had my tea kettle for 5 years but I've just found it on Target's website: www.target.com/p/chantal-1-8qt-teakettle-aqua/-/A-49118562?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&fndsrc=tgtao&CPNG=PLA_Appliances%2BShopping_Brand&adgroup=SC_Appliances&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=c&location=9061080&ds_rl=1246978&ds_rl=1247068&ds_rl=1248099&gclid=Cj0KCQjwka_1BRCPARIsAMlUmEpb8n0i1ejTuc8tf48cQlQ2L0-avY-KRHx00iG6Roi9cUtaEFbAeZMaAhEwEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds (sorry for the long link!) I raise my tea mug up to you! ☕️
I am going to try to make a playlist! It's difficult because not all of the songs are on Spotify and when I download songs from Artlist, they don't always list the name and artist. I'll put together something though! Feel free to ask me again if it doesn't happen soon-- I won't mind :)
"It's so funny that something so common to you is so rare to me!"-- YES, exactly!! I love this feeling! It's my favorite thing about traveling and befriending people from other countries. I LOVE being reminded that I'm not the only one who exists in the world and that my "normal" is so different from others. It makes life ridiculous in the best way. It makes me feel so small in the best way and my worries and problems are smaller then too. It's magical ✨ I'm so glad you loved Little Women! I've been listening to the soundtrack of the movie and it makes my days bright and happy! Hahaha, I really can't wait to tell my professor that A Wild Sheep Chase is actually the 3rd book in the trilogy 😂
Also-if you love university libraries, you should read The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. A bit of a darker fantasy (twist on Dracula story), but setting is largely academia :)
I just discovered your channel yesterday and you are such a peaceful person! You give out so much cozy vibes💛 P.S. you should really read Catcher by Kalyn Nicholson, it's amazing.
Love the video. New subscriber here ❤️. I’m a recent graduate as well (I got and English BA) but I haven’t been able to find a job that utilizes my degree. Is it safe to assume you earned the same degree? Have you been able to utilize it at all?
looool. I relate to you SO much! I do indeed have a BA in English (and Spanish). I was obsessed with being perfect in school-- I stressed so much about assignments and exams. I sacrificed a lot and graduated number one in my class....and not a single person in the ~real~ world cares one bit. My degree hasn't helped me at all in finding work. I currently make videos for a living BUT in January, I also began to write copy for businesses as a freelance copy writer...so perhaps it wasn't all in vain after all. My big take away from this is to not take myself so seriously and to remember to have fun (also maybe to study something more practical if you can't afford college but want to go anyway). I know this response is a lot. Let me conclude in saying that I"m hopeful for you! Somehow, our degrees will be beneficial to us ✨
@@MorganLong Oh goodness it is SO nice to hear I'm not the only one. I am much like you. I wasn't first in my class but I graduated with Magna Cum Laude and it means absolutely nothing. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and put a lot of pressure on myself to do extremely well much like you. I'm glad you found work as a copywriter! Do you feel that your degree prepared you for that job? Also, any tips for getting a copywriting job? It seems every writing job requires professional writing experience when, in reality, none of us graduates really have any beyond school. I love your channel and I am happy to see you've found success. Your channel is such a gem and I can't wait to binge-watch your old videos.
Hi Morgan!!! 🥰❤️ Me (Caroline) and Char (my dog Charlie 😉) just watched your video! Haha thank you so much for the shout out! 🥰 Charlie perks up at the sight of Roo 😁 so cute! They both love snow. This was Char’s first snow ❄️ It looked so pretty through your window! That Ramen looked sooo good btw! How did Landon make that? 😊I’d love to try! Also I’ve really been wanting to read You Are A Badass bc you recommend. Right now I’m reading 2 nonfiction The Body Keeps the Score - Brain Mind and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D. (I’m reading this bc I was in a really bad car accident in 2019 and my body was literally crushed in half 😞my lung and everything collapsed) it’s taking me awhile to recover so your channel has made me super happy. Trying to gather up the courage to try and drive again but I’m scared. I’ve been in in the house for a year now and lost my job cause I can’t do it anymore due to injury 😞 but my life is still great cause of my husband and books and windows 😊love your videos! Thank you so much! So soothing! The second book is Quiet - the power of introverts in a world that can’t stop talking by Susan Cain. Both SO great!! ❤️❤️ talk to you soon Morgan! 😊
Hi, Caroline! You're so welcome for the shoutout! Thank you for your many positive comments ☀️ RoO sends his regards to Sir Charlie 🐾 The Ramen was super simple and quick to make! It was pre-packaged and from a local Asian grocery store (I'm not sure which kind though...super spicy!). Landon only had to the noodles and seasoning in water for 4min! He added tofu, zucchini, and onions for extra nutrients! I so highly recommend You Are A Badass!! I also love the sound of the books you're reading right now. I can't imagine the trauma you're working through-- you are SO strong!! Did you listen to The Great Alone while you were in the hospital after the crash? It's middle grade level, but a book I absolutely love is "Girl Online" by Zoe Sugg-- the protagonist was in a car crash and has extreme anxiety when traveling anywhere because of it. It's a very light-hearted read, super positive! It may be a comfort to you if it doesn't simplify things too much. I read it in a few hours. Big hugs to you! ❤️❤️
Hi Morgan! Thank you so much! Those books sound great too! I’ll have to look into them 😊 I made the ramen this week SO DELICIOUS 🤤I gave the recipe to my sister 😊 I also tried celestial seasons tea flavor Peppermint Peak. It’s the black tea with peppermint so it has a tiny bit of caffeine. Soooo goood. I remember you saying peppermint is your favorite 😊 I also love their Sugar cookie sleigh ride flavor it’s a holiday edition so it’s rare but oh. My. Goodness. It’s glorious 😋yes! I did listen to the great alone while in the hospital. It completely swept me away and really got me into the author Kristin Hannah since then I read the nightingale, home front, and winter garden all by her 😂 her books are like big pieces of cake -cozy. And just so emotional and real. I hope you and Landon and Roo are doing well this week during these crazy corona times! ❤️looking forward to your next video 😊❤️
Thank you for letting me know! TH-cam did an update and automatically placed ads throughout all videos longer than 8 minutes on monetized channels. I've been trying to go through and revert each of my videos to the original settings.
@@MorganLong Thank you for the reply. I appreciate you taking the time to address my cranky comment. I know that TH-camrs rely on ad.s and deserve to be compensated for their work. It just seems like the ad.s have exploded on so many channels lately. It's worse than network TV! Anyway, thank you for addressing it and caring about the impact on viewers! 😊
My favorite sound, besides Church bells & birds singing is to wake up to the sound of a snow plow after a snowstorm.
Oh my gosh, I am currently working my way through all of your videos from the bottom up and you are just THE. SWEETEST. I adore you ♥️ Love, Nicole xxx

I discovered your channel a few days ago, and I fell in love. Your videos make me feel so relaxed and at home, a wonderful feeling, really. I know you haven’t been feeling brilliant recently, but you’ve changed my life. I know that sounds so dramatic, but it’s honestly the truth. I feel so motivated and just happy. I’m honestly so inspired by you, and I hope you know that you are amazing and it’s so calming to just wind down with a cup of tea and watch one of your videos. Thank you so much for filming these, I really appreciate them. 💕
Thanks dear ❤️!
Thank you so much for being you. You comfort us all 💖
Thank you so very much, this is truly an amazing compliment 🤗
Mo, this video is magic. I lived this day with you, and reliving it was potentially even better. You make us all feel so good with these and I know you’ve got something special here. Your heart to heart at the end was so needed for so many out there, your words and energy truly make life better, for me and so many others. I love you!!!!
Ahhh, my HEART. Landon, I love you oh so very very much-- thank you, thank you, thank you for your constant support and positivity 💛 You are an absolutely essential part of my creativity. Without you, there would be no magic ✨
A bright spot in an otherwise dark period of time ✨
This is just what I needed today. ☺️
I'm so glad 🤗
I go to your videos for comfort definitely - they’re so soothing and atmospheric. I love and appreciate the effort you put into the details of your videos! Stay safe, I hope you and your family are thriving with your health amidst the chaos! ❤️
CanSam27 Thank you so very much 🤗 I hope the very same for you and your family & friends- be safe and well ✨
I just stumbled upon your videos a week or so ago. You are such a light! You are so genuine and it really shows in all of your videos! Keep shinning girl! ❤️
Thank you for your kind words 💛
Thank you for being here 💛
You have brought life to my life in these times of darkness my dear friend
Ahhh, I love this comment! Thank you so much, friend
You’re such an amazing, beautiful soul and person! ❤️
Just kinda stumbled upon you and this channel. What a beautiful little space you’ve created here. I’ve subscribed immediately. Already in the first few minutes it was so obviously how much of a light you are, I love that. Thank you for you. Have a nice day x
Thank you so much, Sarah!! I'm happy you're here ✨
You certainly are a bright light. Those pancakes sound delicious, I will have to find pumpkin pancake mix for myself. It's not been snowing here in Arkansas, but it has been a week of rain and more rain, so, much like you, it has been a time of cleaning and organizing for me.
Thank you so much, Stephanie ✨ Does it snow much in Arkansas? You're close to hot southern states but also may be far enough west to have snowy winters?
I think I might spring clean the whole house this weekend!
@@MorganLong not a lot, but it does snow and gets below freezing here. I've also lived in Florida, so warmer winters are my preferred lol.
Stephanie Bartley Florida is AMAZING. I’d love to spend a winter there ☀️
I almost cry with your words, thank you my friend. You´re so sweet and especial even if the distance is to much and even if we never met. Thank you for share your life and thoughts. Just take care of you and your owns, and if you ever feel sad for a moment, remember that we love you, that you change our lifes.
I can say that I return to reading, thanks to you. I don´t know why I stopped to doing it. Also I practicing my English with you videos. Again, thank you, my friend.
From México, to Portland.
Muchísimas gracias, Michelle
I just found your channel and LOVE your videos! Such a comforting spot for a fellow hygge- loving bibliophile 💛
This was the most soothing and beautiful video... thank you😊 you made my cozy little day a little cozier and a little happier🥰
I'm so so happy to contribute to the coziness 🤗
Thank you for this Morgan, your videos are like a deep breath and great inspo to enjoy isolation at home 🙏
I'm so very glad, Rosie! Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos 🤗
I loved the snow! It's very warm here now. I saved this to watch after work. Your videos bring me such joy! Hope you are staying safe. Also those pancakes looked amazing.
Editing the pancake and ramen part of this vlog was so hard-- I wanted to eat EVERYTHING.
I'm so glad my videos are your after-work treat 🤗 Thank you friend
Thank you for helping start my day on the right foot!
Thank you for being here!
This is just what I needed!!!! I absolutely LOVE your content!!! Keep at it girlfriend!😘
Thank you so very much, Emily! 💕
This video was so magical, thank you for those sweet and kind words at the end. I really needed it
Thank you so very much, Nab! Again and again, I'm so glad you're here 🤗 You make ME happy and I hope that you and your loved ones are well 💓
New subscriber here, I love your positive energy ❤ I loved the heart to heart. This pandemic has been hard on my mental health as well. We Will all get through this. ❤
Aww thats sooo cozy, now i just wanna drink coffee and read all day😂
Tina Mehmeti is you have the time, I think it’s the BEST way to spend your day ☕️📚✨
the past few weeks i have been commenting about how stressed i am about exams etc. turns out; in the grand scheme of things that was unneccessary since theyre all canceled bc uni is closed (everything is closed in germany) AND OMG AT THIS POINT YOU SAID MY NAME AND MY HEART STOPPED!! thank you for brightening up our days and caring :) i am self isolating and this was very comforting and also knowing that you enjoy talking to us! take care!!
Aaaahh, life is such a goon!! That is the secret! We get to choose how to see our lives and how to be. Reality can be one thing and then totally change in a second! Next time something seems so overwhelming, I'll remember your exams and how they went from everything to nothing *just like that*
I hope you feel free and not disappointed. You are such a determined and dedicated person-- these characteristics will take you far in life!! ✨
Thank you Mo！Take care：)
Same to you
Ooooo congrats on 2.513k!
Maya English Thank you so much, Maya!! I hope you’ve been well and that despite all of this craziness, Spring is happening in Blacksburg and maybe brightening things with it ☀️🌷🌿
@@MorganLong yeah hopefully! Our collage campus got marked off because of it it's so sad
Thanks Morgan

Hugs to you dear friend! 🤗
P.S. Now I'm very excited indeed to read The Book Thief 📚
I just LOVE the way you edit! I've been thoroughly enjoying your videos lately, so keep up the good work!
Thank you SO much Amélie!! 🤗

Thank you so much, Rhiannon!! I'm always happy to be a comfort and I hope things feel a little less scary now. It's been sunny and warm in Portland today and that's helped me so much ☀️ I hope you stay safe and healthy as well 🤗
another beautiful vlog :) Thank you, they make me very happy!
I'm so so very glad!! :)
Your vlogs are very relaxing. I watch your vlog in the evening after hectic and busy day and to be honest it vanishes away my tiredness and fatigue.
Thanks so much for wonderful work. stay blessed and lots of love for you take care :)
I'm so very glad my videos have been a comfort to you! Thank you for taking the time to watch them
That ramen looks sooo delicious!
OMG heart to heart made me cry.. i guess i feel like so, but i haven´t had the bravery of saying it out loud... so thank you so much... so much
Thank you, thank you, thank you! It feels good knowing someone related so much to what I was saying/am feeling 🤗
@@MorganLong thanks to you!!! i wasn´t able to say what i was feeeling!! scary times but with friends (even on the distance) it´s so much better!
M. Lavita Lakmita Definitely sooo much better!!
I love the music you pick for all of your videos !!! Do you have any playlist on Spotify?
What a beautiful video ❤️ stay positive and stay safe
Thank you Luna ❤️
Hi, I just found your channel and I'm loving your videos! They are so positive and fun :) Thank you for your comforting words! Greetings from Austria ❤️
Hello, Tami! I'm so glad you've found your way here ✨ Cheers from the United States ❤️
Wow ! We didn't have snow where i live this year and i was so sad ! Even weather weren't cold :( I hope everything's okay and you are safe at home with your husband and your lovely dog !! Take care ♥ Many hugs from your friend from France ♥
It was such a surprise to us when we woke up in a winter wonderland! Is it unusual for it not to snow where you live?
Thank you for your well wishes and BIG hugs to my first TH-cam friend 🤗
@@MorganLong it's been a while since the last snow where i live :( This winter was not cold and i was a little bit disappointed because i really love the cold season !
Take care my dear Morgan ♥
Thank You for your amazing videos and for being such an inspiring person.
Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos AND for your very kind words
Spot on as always, dear. 💛 almost dropped my phone when I heard you say my name! Thank you for being such a bright light during this very dark time :)
Hahaha, I love your reaction! Thank you 💛
your vlogs are so soothing, i love them. 💕
I'm so very glad-- thank you Paula 💕
All that winter paradise at the beginning of the video made me miss Russian winter so bad! I miss the snow the most. Also, thank you for the words of encouragement. I really hope this virus situation passes soon and there will be a vaccine developed very soon or some way of treatment. In the meanwhile, you too stay safe :) Also, this video has been so beautiful and cozy
I can only imagine the winter in Russia!! If well prepared for, I bet it's absolutely magical ✨
I, too, hope we find a resolution soon for this virus-- sending you well wishes
Hi, Morgan! What is the book with the birdcage on your top shelf?
Hello Morgan,
I very much hope you are well.
I feel uncomfortable at the moment. This invisible danger ... phew, I hope it's over soon. But I'm also sad for all the people who have been harmed. A nightmare. Hope, yes, we have to make the best of this difficult time .
I don't let my children feel it. They give me infinite strength and joy.
Maybe I heard my name there. If so ... I am very happy about it. 🙂
I am grateful that I discovered your channel and that I got to know you in this way. Take care of yourself.💞🌻🦋
Hello, Steffie!
I'm so glad you have your family to get through this with. It's hard for children to understand the gravity of the situation but I don't think they need to. I think that what you're doing is the perfect way to go about it-- focus on love, light, and positivity with them, let them know that things are uncertain in the world, but what IS certain is that you have each other and will always be there fore them 💞🌻🦋
BIG hugs
@@MorganLong Thank you, your words were good for me.
That ramen made me hungry haha. Praying for your safety💛
Hahaha you should have seen me when I was editing that part of the video-- just wanted to eat EVERYTHING. So now I try to edit videos on a full stomach :) Thank you for your prayers-- I hope the same for you 💛
Gracias por acordarte y preocuparte por mí, hermosa
MissBliss No podría haberlo dicho mejor
THE SNOOW IT IS SOOO BEAUTIFUL! 😍 I’m obsessed (I live in Australia so I have only seen snow 3 times in my life).
Morgan I have been making my way through your videos & they are all so beautiful & magical ✨ I love that you have your own distinct style 🥰
Thank you so very much, Nicole!! I used to live in a place where it snowed often in the winter and I miss it ❄️ I'd LOVE to experience Australia though!
I must say that I am very inspired by TH-camrs such as @CheyenneBarton, @ChristyAnnJones, and @JonnaJinton. My style is my own but they're all mixed in one way or another ✨
@@MorganLong I have watched CheyenneBarton but I haven't discovered the others, I will have to check them out!
Perfect! 💖
Thank you 🤗
Aww was so shocked and happy when I heard my name at the end, but you are such a light in times like these Morgan ♥️Loved this video as per usual ♥️ and looking forward to the other bookshelf one 😝📖 Also so happy you love Outlander one of my fave books everrr ! Keep safee xx
Thank you so much, Ellie!! Outlander was WONDERFUL and such an inspiration to learn herbs, flowers, and everything of the sort 🌿 Well-wishes to you, your friends, and family!
Love this
Thank you 🤗
Would you be able to list the music you use in your videos? I would love to listen to it while I read! Its truly so calming
I get all of my music from a licensing website called Artlist. Unfortunately, a lot of the songs aren't available anywhere else (I've tried making a playlist for everyone). To help with this, I made a 1hr Read with Me video and used all my most favorite songs from my video and listed them all in the description!
Omg you’re the cutest! ❤️
Thank you!! 🤗
I’ve been binge watching your videos and I’m obsessed. 😭 Also, your tea kettle!! Omg I love it! Where did you find that beauty?! Loving all the books. 📚
Carmen Fg hahaha, same here 🙋♀️
Ahhh, thank you so much, Carmen!! I've had my tea kettle for 5 years but I've just found it on Target's website: www.target.com/p/chantal-1-8qt-teakettle-aqua/-/A-49118562?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&fndsrc=tgtao&CPNG=PLA_Appliances%2BShopping_Brand&adgroup=SC_Appliances&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=c&location=9061080&ds_rl=1246978&ds_rl=1247068&ds_rl=1248099&gclid=Cj0KCQjwka_1BRCPARIsAMlUmEpb8n0i1ejTuc8tf48cQlQ2L0-avY-KRHx00iG6Roi9cUtaEFbAeZMaAhEwEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
(sorry for the long link!)
I raise my tea mug up to you! ☕️
take care! loved this vlog as always ❤️
Thank you so much, Fran!
i love your vlog music, do you have a playlist for all the songs you use?
I am going to try to make a playlist! It's difficult because not all of the songs are on Spotify and when I download songs from Artlist, they don't always list the name and artist. I'll put together something though! Feel free to ask me again if it doesn't happen soon-- I won't mind :)
Morgan Long hahah okay! No rush though!
I'm SO happy that you guys are ok and also that I had my weekly dose of Roo
"It's so funny that something so common to you is so rare to me!"-- YES, exactly!! I love this feeling! It's my favorite thing about traveling and befriending people from other countries. I LOVE being reminded that I'm not the only one who exists in the world and that my "normal" is so different from others. It makes life ridiculous in the best way. It makes me feel so small in the best way and my worries and problems are smaller then too. It's magical ✨
I'm so glad you loved Little Women! I've been listening to the soundtrack of the movie and it makes my days bright and happy!
Hahaha, I really can't wait to tell my professor that A Wild Sheep Chase is actually the 3rd book in the trilogy 😂
@@MorganLong I'll look for the soundtrack
taisu hokubaru Thank you for telling!!
Also-if you love university libraries, you should read The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. A bit of a darker fantasy (twist on Dracula story), but setting is largely academia :)
I just discovered your channel yesterday and you are such a peaceful person! You give out so much cozy vibes💛 P.S. you should really read Catcher by Kalyn Nicholson, it's amazing.
I'm so happy you're here, Erica! I'm very much looking forward to reading Catcher. Thank you 💛
Love the video. New subscriber here ❤️. I’m a recent graduate as well (I got and English BA) but I haven’t been able to find a job that utilizes my degree. Is it safe to assume you earned the same degree? Have you been able to utilize it at all?
looool. I relate to you SO much! I do indeed have a BA in English (and Spanish). I was obsessed with being perfect in school-- I stressed so much about assignments and exams. I sacrificed a lot and graduated number one in my class....and not a single person in the ~real~ world cares one bit. My degree hasn't helped me at all in finding work. I currently make videos for a living BUT in January, I also began to write copy for businesses as a freelance copy writer...so perhaps it wasn't all in vain after all. My big take away from this is to not take myself so seriously and to remember to have fun (also maybe to study something more practical if you can't afford college but want to go anyway). I know this response is a lot. Let me conclude in saying that I"m hopeful for you! Somehow, our degrees will be beneficial to us ✨
@@MorganLong Oh goodness it is SO nice to hear I'm not the only one. I am much like you. I wasn't first in my class but I graduated with Magna Cum Laude and it means absolutely nothing. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and put a lot of pressure on myself to do extremely well much like you. I'm glad you found work as a copywriter! Do you feel that your degree prepared you for that job? Also, any tips for getting a copywriting job? It seems every writing job requires professional writing experience when, in reality, none of us graduates really have any beyond school. I love your channel and I am happy to see you've found success. Your channel is such a gem and I can't wait to binge-watch your old videos.

Hi Morgan!!! 🥰❤️ Me (Caroline) and Char (my dog Charlie 😉) just watched your video! Haha thank you so much for the shout out! 🥰 Charlie perks up at the sight of Roo 😁 so cute! They both love snow. This was Char’s first snow ❄️ It looked so pretty through your window! That Ramen looked sooo good btw! How did Landon make that? 😊I’d love to try! Also I’ve really been wanting to read You Are A Badass bc you recommend. Right now I’m reading 2 nonfiction The Body Keeps the Score - Brain Mind and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D. (I’m reading this bc I was in a really bad car accident in 2019 and my body was literally crushed in half 😞my lung and everything collapsed) it’s taking me awhile to recover so your channel has made me super happy. Trying to gather up the courage to try and drive again but I’m scared. I’ve been in in the house for a year now and lost my job cause I can’t do it anymore due to injury 😞 but my life is still great cause of my husband and books and windows 😊love your videos! Thank you so much! So soothing! The second book is Quiet - the power of introverts in a world that can’t stop talking by Susan Cain. Both SO great!! ❤️❤️ talk to you soon Morgan! 😊
Hi, Caroline! You're so welcome for the shoutout! Thank you for your many positive comments ☀️ RoO sends his regards to Sir Charlie 🐾 The Ramen was super simple and quick to make! It was pre-packaged and from a local Asian grocery store (I'm not sure which kind though...super spicy!). Landon only had to the noodles and seasoning in water for 4min! He added tofu, zucchini, and onions for extra nutrients!
I so highly recommend You Are A Badass!! I also love the sound of the books you're reading right now. I can't imagine the trauma you're working through-- you are SO strong!! Did you listen to The Great Alone while you were in the hospital after the crash?
It's middle grade level, but a book I absolutely love is "Girl Online" by Zoe Sugg-- the protagonist was in a car crash and has extreme anxiety when traveling anywhere because of it. It's a very light-hearted read, super positive! It may be a comfort to you if it doesn't simplify things too much. I read it in a few hours.
Big hugs to you! ❤️❤️
Hi Morgan! Thank you so much! Those books sound great too! I’ll have to look into them 😊 I made the ramen this week SO DELICIOUS 🤤I gave the recipe to my sister 😊 I also tried celestial seasons tea flavor Peppermint Peak. It’s the black tea with peppermint so it has a tiny bit of caffeine. Soooo goood. I remember you saying peppermint is your favorite 😊 I also love their Sugar cookie sleigh ride flavor it’s a holiday edition so it’s rare but oh. My. Goodness. It’s glorious 😋yes! I did listen to the great alone while in the hospital. It completely swept me away and really got me into the author Kristin Hannah since then I read the nightingale, home front, and winter garden all by her 😂 her books are like big pieces of cake -cozy. And just so emotional and real. I hope you and Landon and Roo are doing well this week during these crazy corona times! ❤️looking forward to your next video 😊❤️
You remind me of Miss Honey from Matilda 📚☀️
WOW. Definitely one of my most favorite compliments ever-- thank you so much! 🤗📚☀️
Morgan Long Yay!!!! I hope you have a lovely day😊💛 I appreciate the content you create.
I don't know what to comment so I'll just say I'm here.
Hi, friend!
Ramen is always a safe bet, Have you tried carrot soup?
💕😘😍

There are more ad.s than video.
Thank you for letting me know! TH-cam did an update and automatically placed ads throughout all videos longer than 8 minutes on monetized channels. I've been trying to go through and revert each of my videos to the original settings.
@@MorganLong Thank you for the reply. I appreciate you taking the time to address my cranky comment. I know that TH-camrs rely on ad.s and deserve to be compensated for their work. It just seems like the ad.s have exploded on so many channels lately. It's worse than network TV! Anyway, thank you for addressing it and caring about the impact on viewers! 😊
