I absolutely loved this style video, little life update, books read, goals accomplished, goals to pursue… let’s do this every month! ✨
Yay! Sounds like a good plan.
ROTFLOL!!!!! "Books, coffee, and face cream are what I spend my money on." I felt that in my soul!
me too lol
Well moisturized and well read.
Post-pandemic, post-Ian, post-everything! I needed your perky, positive outlook to live in gratitude, review and recast goals ... you squeeze a lot in your 24/7 and I can do better. I didn't feel less than or beat myself up as I took notes and the challenge to do BETTER today, tomorrow and the next day! Thank you for your honesty and positivity!!!
Going back to school in the tech field is what I had to do in the 70s, 80s, 90s to broaden my horizons, change my career goals, and be able to be financially stable/independent. I needed that to take care of me, my parents, and my kids. I knew my teaching and school psychology degrees couldn't... these were my goals not my husband's!
I'm divorced, retired and hit speed bumps like many do, yet all my degrees ,encouragement and hard work allow me to be thankful I invested in myself along the way and encourage others to accept the challenge to continually improve.
TODAY I NEEDED YOUR RESET IDEAS TO GET ME MOVING AND BETTERING MYSELF AGAIN despite the post-everythings! Thank you and much success challenging yourself 😘
You are thriving!! And you are glowing too! Beautiful, you are! Thank you for the inspiration ❤
Thank you
Don’t let the math get to you! I’ve had intense math anxiety my entire life and hate that it dictated my first leg in college. At 30, I decided to go back to school for business management and had to conquer my math fear with all the accounting and econ classes. I went on to complete my MBA ❤️ I learned a lot about myself in my second leg of college as an adult. I wish I could go back and give my younger self coping skills. Can’t wait to see you excel in your field of study!
Thank you so much, Kori. This comment meant a lot to me.
Please please please tell us what you're studying! I went back to school in 2010 while also working full time with 3 small kids aged 9, 6 and 4 at the time and got my MBA. I LOVE it when people go back to school and want to hear all about it!
My grandma always said
Marry for money and learn to love them later. When i became an adult i would laugh and tell her she is crazy.
She also always encourged us to save our money!!!
Some of my resetting is directed toward the garden and fall produce. I try to have my garden ready for the winter--plants moved, mulch spread, and debris in the compost/garbage. I also like to freeze soups that are made of market produce: root vegetable and squash purees, roasted tomatoes, and apple desserts. Thanks for another great video!
Here are some good books I read recently: The Wife Between us , The Golden Couple, Finding Perfect, Ugly Love, I'll Be You, All Your Perfects, The Mother In Law, The Younger Wife, The Replacement Wife, I LOVED The Maid, I love all of Shari Lapena's books.
Was that The Maid by Nita Prose? Because I love that.
@@TheRealLydiaSenn yes, that us my favorite book of the year
My favorite channel. October tends to be busy for myself too. Thank you so much for your videos. Such a great help to me
Thank you 🙏
I hear you on the feeling of being busy every weekend. For October I'm hosting a 🎃 carving party and I love spooky season. With financial resetting the big thing I've been slacking on is meal planning. Really a necessity when I'm out of the house a couple nights a week. I'm a part if an 🪓 league, a dragon boat team and also do outrigger canoe.
You always help us accomplish our goals step by step .You rock at motherhood keep it up !
Thank you
I'm so glad you're going to school cause I tell people I'm going back for my bachelor's I just want to save for it, no one believes me. I genuinely don't understand why people encourage others to go study when they're not gonna pay for it
My dentist and eye doctor give cash discounts...it almost makes me feel good about paying.
Also, I'm in the tail end of my doctorate, preparing for my dissertation defense, which no one would have expected me to do either. 1) Good for you for going back to school and 2) one step at a time, you'll make it.
You are really hitting your post-pandemic stride and it's really awesome! I am super happy for you and your family. And now I'm considering some goals I might want to set for next month.
Thank you
YES to the prompt journal!!!
This was so helpful and I loved the what I have been reading 💕
Congratulations on all A's 🤩
Thank you
Handing it to you for taking on the world! 👍
Look how skinny you are!! I love that you are taking time for yourself! Great planning video.
Wonderful video! I hope you do this every month. Very motivating. I love Lily Chu books- she’s so good.
I’m going to try
Love the book chat! The best book I've read this year was a recommendation from you - "The Midnight Library".
I loved the midnight library
I loved, loved, loved this video. I love your new product and that you are going to school full time. So impressed!
Thank you
Books, bathbombs and snacks is where my money goes 😌
Lydia you are delightful!! Wishing you all the best in your studies!
Thank you so much!
The Last Time I Lied is very good.
I love spending time with you! ❤️
yay! See you next month!
I love that you are discussing books you are reading. I love reading and have since I was young. I switched over to 95% ebooks about 8 years ago. Now, I think I’m going to switch over to 100% ebooks. I do miss the physical books, but I have a box of books right now to donate or gift and I literally haven’t been able to find anyone to take them for over a month. Since Covid no libraries or businesses near me will accept book donations. I live on Long Island, NY. I tried FB free groups and I’ve had a few people say they are interested but then never show up. I refuse to leave out the books and risk damage due to weather. I’ve offered to drop them off, but people don’t show up. Sad…. Any suggestions on how to donate I’d appreciate.
Sound is fine for me.
This was so much fun -- thank you, Lydia!
I’m so glad
I am going to do a reset with the Frugalwoods Uber Frugal month challenge. Even though we do fine for 2 adults our food budget is anywhere 250-300. It can def be 200 though. Going to do a cash envelope food month
i love this and I would love to buy a copy of your book.
Super enjoyed this video content.
Thank you
Look at you doing all the things!
Some of the things.
Lydia! I love you videos so much! I appreciate your sharing how you get things done! I like your tip on when you read. I will try that. I’m trying to make it through the Good Inside book by Dr. Becky and would like to finish by end of October.
I miss your life update/chattier videos! This was a nice change of pace. Did you decide to leave Classical Conversations/ would you consider sharing how you’ve formed your new community? (Homeschooling mom here who would love to hear more about all the things.)
(I read about 2-3 novels a week and I CANNOT read Colleen Hoover. At all. Do you read romance? I have recently discovered Tessa Bailey and love her so much!)
. We didn’t so much leave CC as it got way too expensive. So we move to a group that does Claritas press. It’s a lot alike but has four cycles instead of three.
I listened to the stand in on Audible. It was a nice commute “read”.
That’s good to know
I was just going to say 'how do you have time to read so many books each month and just as I was about to start typing you said 'when do I read?' lol
I have 'it ends with us' on my library hold list waiting for it to come in, hopefully I find it better lol
Love your book list!- I just picked up Final Girls Support Group yesterday:)
Be prepared it’s not for the faint of heart.
@@TheRealLydiaSenn LOL! OK I have been warned!
I also loved The Good Sister. I also like Lisa Jewell. Sorry for so many book ideas.
I love book ideas.
I’m excited for October and fall!! 🧡
So excited
Oh no, I’m a little behind on the TH-cam videos. Didn’t send you the math emergency call in the DMs bc of this 🙈so sorry 😘❤️
Daisy Jones and the Six. I enjoyed it.
Thank you 😂😂
Just a question that popped into my head - where do you get owl pellets? Things that make me go hummm.
I go out in the woods and climb a few trees…. I’m kidding. Amazon.
YES!! Colleen Hoover - my high schoolers loves reading her books …. I’ve been double checking the books 😳 bc of content
The content, the bad writing, the horrendous dialogue. So much to hate.
I like some of her books, but definitely don’t recommend Ugly Love, especially for a young girl. It’s a “friends with benefits” book. I started it and quit it.
sorry so sorry but what mic do you use for your videos? super random but I am looking for a new mic
I don’t even remember the brand. I got off Amazon. I just searched the type of camera I have and a compatible mic. It was super cheap but it works.
@@TheRealLydiaSenn thank u. Your sound is really good quality so I had to ask
Check out the story Pumpkin Jack for your pumpkin science!
Adding to my list!
Are you taking school online hon. I’m so proud of you.
Yes. Thank you
Oh god you said MATH 😮
I did 😂
Someone on youtube recommended "Halloween Party" by Agatha Christie, so I borrowed it from the library. It's REALLY good, it's a " Who done it ", not gory at all.
You’ll never go wrong with Agatha
I read that book and it left no lasting impression on me so I guess it was just MEH.
"Maggie Moves On" by Lucy Score is a really cute, funny romance read. There's some heat but it's small doses, not strewn throughout. I REALLY enjoyed it and I'm not a huge romance fan. I will read more from the author for sure.
Which book?
@@TheRealLydiaSenn Oops, sorry, It Ends With Us.
Have you read "Cork Boat" by John Pollack?..a really great book
I haven’t. What genre is it?
Cork Boat is a memoir, first published in 2004, written by American author John Pollack. It is a first-person account of his experience designing and building the Cork Boat, a vessel made of exactly 165,321 wine corks. Wikipedia
It's fun, inspiring... An adventure!
Out of the current 3 Emily Henry books. People We Meet On Vacation isn’t as good as Beach Read and Book Lover. So I don’t blame you for not liking it
Good to know. I can’t even really tell you why I didn’t like it.
@@TheRealLydiaSenn I feel the same way about that book.
Speaking of books, Colleen Hoover is not my favorite either. I think her books are sometimes too emotionally intense for me. Jus finished Only bad options by Jennifer Estep a light hearted space opera, but it does end in a kinda cliffhanger.
I love a space opera.
I hated that Colleen book. Almost none of the relationships portrayed in that book were healthy, or safe. I'm genuinely a lil perturbed about the rave reviews I can't seem to escape all over social media. I know people who lived through real life similar situations. Nothing romantic or 'aspirational' about it. In real life, the courts are often involved and no one is happily coparenting.
Exactly
Oh no! Lydia, there is no sound!
I have sound on my end?
I have sound too!
It's better now! Thanks!!
I’m so glad!
I also just read that book and didn't really like it.
Which one?
@@TheRealLydiaSenn sorry the Colleen Hoover one and also read her other book Verity that so many people were raving about and thought it was meh 🤷🏻♀️
my guess is you are going to be a nurse ? or imagining tech ? best wishes .
No. Not in the medical field. Too peoply. I’ll be in the STEM field.
There is no sound Lydia.
Some have sound some don’t. 🤷🏼♀️
Lol ….bad …..
