Hello dearest Brenda, I don't know if you ever going to see this comment. I just wanted to say that I can't really find the time to actively watch your new videos, but I still return to your first few videos to help me clean. Nothing gets me up and going like seeing you getting your life back. It's now 10 p.m. here in Germany and I am sitting in my super tiny, super messy flat and I am cleaning - slowly, but I am cleaning. Thank you so much for publishing these videos, I don't know what I would do without you. All the best to you!
Have you noticed that the only time a cat walks across the floor is just after you washed it and it is still wet, leaving tiny little paw prints. How cute is that. My cat always uses her litter box right after I've cleaned it and vacuumed those little pieces of litter. I have resigned to doing some things twice. You are the best and your house is becoming your cozy home again.
So glad to see your new video......have been looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing your journey and inspiring me to start mine. Yes...it's worth it!
I needed to tell you that my daughter noticed that I'm doing a little better and she says to me, "'it's that you tube lady, isn't it"? I swear, YOU ARE GIVING ME HOPE!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Please keep your shows coming!
I let my house go downhill after our 3 month old daughter died 3 years ago. Watching your videos inspired me to organize and clean my kitchen. Thank you!
You are such an inspiration Brenda. I have been knocked down with chronic fatigue so I understand how you work, rest, work, rest. Something I found so very helpful is an upright vacuum cleaner. I purchased a little Electrolux (one the can be removed from the stem for cleaning the car or small jobs). It has helped me so much cos it is so light I can vacuum each day more easily than sweeping. Keep going strong. You are a winner.
You're awesome!!!! I spiraled into a deep depression several years ago and remember "reclaiming" my life. It's so hard! I ADMIRE YOU FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO NOT ONLY GET YOUR LIFE BACK BUT ALSO TO DOCUMENT IT. ❤️
Looked like grease chunks coming back up in the sink. I don't have a garbage disposal so I pour my grease in an old tin can. Also at Dollar Tree or most dollar stores they have a plastic cover to place over food for the microwave. It has saved my shoulder from scrubbing (had shoulder surgery in March and I am almost able to return back to work). I'm very happy to see that you are keeping up with your house work and that you are feeling well enough physically and mentally for company!
Rita Buck I don't have a disposal either, so I pour my old grease & cooking oil in an old spaghetti marinara sauce glass jar!! When it's full, THEN dispose of it.
Wow, you have one wonderful son!! He went to the store, bought a plunger, came home unplugged the sink and left it all sparkling for you to see when you got up from your nap?!? What else matters when we you have a wonderful son ❤️. Thank you for sharing your journey. I like what you said, lol... "take your time, no one's going to steal your crud." You're doing a great job!!!
It took me 3 hours to clean my kitchen tonight. And that wasn't even vacuuming or washing the floors. That was dishes, organizing, cleaning the stove, more dishes, organizing the pantry, putting away dishes and cleaning the counter.. 3 hours.. but I just cant do it quick. I have to take my time now. My back hurts, It's the dead of summer so I sweat like crazy and I have hypothyroidism. It takes a lot to get me moving and going. I love watching your videos. It really helps me and motivates me to do more. I watched all your videos tonight and then went and cleaned my kitchen.
That's so awesome that my videos motivate you!! But please don't beat yourself up. 3 hours to do a kitchen is FAST. It took me all day. It's your home and your sanctuary. There's no time clock, no race. Do what makes you comfortable and at the pace that is pleasant for you. Have fun with it......well, as much as dishwashing can be fun. lol
I have thyroid problems too getting motivated is the hardest thing and when I dostart doing things the osteoporosis rebels unrelentingly so thank yo "MY NEW ME" your channel is so encouraging
I have no Thyroid (thanks Cancer), Lupus and arthritis. I understand pain.... and pacing yourself. I get so inspired by these videos! We are not going to be drfestrd by our bodies! And yes I do find myself genuinely laughing watching these videos.
HippieLady420 I have a small fan on my kitchen counter and for my birthday I asked for a pretty aqua colored task chair on wheels. I sit while I clean and have the fan to move the air around. It works.
Your son seems like a keeper! 😉 Those sinks were beautiful! People often overlook the little things that can be done for others, but it seems like your son has it figured out.
Son sounds precious. I don't even know him but I love him for being so wonderful to him mum! Sounds like a great guy. I am guess he would say she is a pretty great mom also!
*Lookin' Good! How did your company like your home? I'm in the same boat as you. You are inspiring...Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Sending Love & Light Your Way!*
You just picked up a new subbie. Your sarcasm towards yourself is infectious keeps me laughing. I think EVERYTHING happens for a reason. I can't use my physical illness as an excuse for my constant chaos and disorganization. Truth is, I was easily distracted and easily overwhelmed even when I was healthy no matter what I try to accomplish. My illness only escalated the problem. I've been on my own journey (tho I refuse to record it. . . I'm not as brave as you) of decluttering my life because I want have a simpler life and go Tiny as in Tiny House. I realized like you did, miraculous things CAN happen even in little bits and pieces at a time and it has worked to get me from a "don't want to live anymore" to "I can achieve great things despite my challenges." Unfortunately, I hit a plateau and slowly watched my clutter grow again, partly because I've been breaking my own rule of not removing as much STUFF as I bring into the house from shopping. Gots to do better. . . Know that you are inspiring a lot of people and I for one am glad I stumbled upon you. . . not sure how because I was watching videos on how to grow hair. LOL Anywho, keep up the good work! You should be proud!
I'm 17 and not quite sure how I came across your channel the other day but I have to say you're a very inspirational person and your journey fascinates me. I love seeing your progress, hope you're well ❤️
Lol at "Ever so rudely close this door on you!" I'm glad I came upon your journey. I work in home oxygen and I come upon many homes in the same condition as where you started. Your videos grabbed at me because I thought to myself this is likely how many of my patients feel! Some of the folks could maybe, maybe do a bit more for themselves; however, I think most of them are like you and would like their homes to be tidy and clean like they used to keep it.
I love your running commentary as you are working. And, of course, your kitty conversations. You are doing a great job! Keep up the good work. And, I hope you enjoyed visiting with your company.
I have watched this video many times (as I am housecleaning) and I cannot express to you how similar we are. I have also had to go through the "slowing down" process and it sure kicks you in the butt. I never considered myself a "depressive" type personality. I just cowgirled up and just ploughed through. But when I slowed down physically, like I did, something happened to me mentally that I really did not expect and that really hit me hard. I couldn't believe how down it got me. I had to change my whole way of thinking about myself and my pace of getting things done...It was so much more difficult than I expected and I have been through a lot. Your videos are so amazing because they helped me to realize that it was ok to accept this new me. Your handle name is perfect for your channel........ "My New Me"👍🏼I love when you film your "slow self." That's me in a nutshell. You said so many things in this video that paralleled my life so perfectly. Even when you said even a "shower and dressing can be exhausting." So true. The only one person I feel comfortable talking to about this New Me is my mother and that is only because she could see how much I had slowed down and she asked me if I was ok. I HAD to tell her because you know moms, they worry so much.I share so many of your opinions and your approaches to tasks. I get that. Thanks so much for sharing your struggles and triumphs and giving us courage to embrace our challenges. I had to give up my vegetable garden also. I didn't give it up totally though, I cut way back but I still have 3 tomato plants in containers!!😂😂 I appreciate your sharing this journey more than you know. God Bless you and yours.❤️
I can hear in your voice such pride in your work. It's definitely making you feel good to be able to take care of your home. Your bedroom and livingroom look amazing! Instead of a "honey-do" list, you need a "sonny-do" list!😏
You have helped me a lot. I also am constantly fighting depression. My house was a wreck. You motivated me to just get up and get started. I've been working on one room at a time and have made a lot of progress. So thank you!!😊
Yay!! on the progress!!! And how are you feeling after making those huge accomplishments? Are you feeling better about everything in general? I know it made me feel better most days and most of the time. I hope so for you, too. Thanks so much for giving this great news!!
I started to clean some then hubby says his friend will be here in a week or two to paint 1 room.So my house is cluttered with furniture in some rooms.
My New Me I do feel more optimistic in general. I definitely find that I get up a lot easier in the mornings just knowing that I don't have a big mess to have to look at first thing!
A car wreck almost 12 years ago (at age 47) left me really banged up. I move VERY slowly too. Your videos have given me (and many others) new hope and real-life inspiration. Hang in there .. Do what you can when you can .. Life has a way of working everything out .. If you give it time and opportunity ... Thanks for being brave enough to challenge yourself .. Over 12k of us are VERY glad you did !
I am so excited and happy for you ! Eleven Thousand subscribers in such a short period of time. You are doing amazing. And I'm also happy that you had company coming. Something you haven't had in a long time. You worked really hard for it and it payed off. I wish you all good things and I thank you for sharing your journey . You have truly inspired many people, me included. ❣❣❣
Someone below said that you would be a great author and I agree. You let us see what you are doing and the challenges you are facing in a way that is clear, concise and entertaining. Glad to see that you are "keeping up" with your new me project. Looks good and must have felt wonderful to have visitors when you felt good about your home. Nothing beats that.
It's so good to see you back'. I forgot about your "put an old rag on the Swiffer" idea and have been nagging the hubby for Swiffer cloths. He got tired of my nagging and went off with his buddy to the mountains! 😃 he'll be back when he gets hungry, but until then, thanks to you posting this, I can FINALLY clean my floors tomorrow! With a rag on a Swiffer!
They work great, in my opinion. Especially when there are all those little cracks to get into. The swiffer cloths just weren't thick enough for that. Enjoy your mopping fun!!
Yay! Another video! I think I love "the boy." What a good son. Your narrating is great, inspiring, entertaining, witty, truthful, insightful and endearing. I am so happy for your phenomenal success, both personally and in TH-cam land! You are amazing!
You are a true warrior. I admire your sarcasm, determination, and honesty. Your house is looking fantastic. Your son sounds like a keeper. Your fur babies are adorable and I want to snuggle, love and pet them - even though I have plenty of cats already. Fur is a way of life around here. No escaping it. LOL. And this reminded me I need to baking soda/vinegar/hot water the kitchen sink drains.
As someone with chronic illness, one of my fav quotes is " healing does not mean going back to the way you were " i thought if it when you were talking about accepting who you are now. And that is my journey too ♡ much love to u!
You are awesome! Also sweet, caring, kind & hard-working. I love how you treat your kitty. No wonder she clearly loves & trusts you. And I love that "the boy" took care of the sink for you because he wanted you to be happy. Wow! tfs, ♡
Yay a new vid....You got a good son there. I'm so happy that he helps you. I really hope and pray you are able to tap into some resources to get hot water and to have any appliances or whatever you need fixed. Great job on the microwave, fridge, and keeping things maintained. I have to go slow too when I clean or shop or whatever because of back issues and inner ear issues that cause me to get dizzy. Like you I have to take lots of breaks and go at my own pace and get it done when I can. I find I can relate to you in many ways and so your vids are very encouraging for me :) 11k whoohoo...you go girl :D.....And YES it was worth it :D
Congratulations on having company over! I haven't had people over besides my mom in months now. Now that I am getting my place in order, I feel that I can have a friend over and not be embarrassed.
Your son did a great job! For your microwave, WalMart sells wonderful microwave plate covers by Nordic Ware. They are tall, easily fit over a plate of food, and only cost a couple of dollars. Since they rarely touch the food, we have two, so we can wash one while using the other. They also save trees. :)
Your fridge is spotless!!! One of these days maybe I'll be able to do mine. I love watching your shows! They are helping me!! Thank you! Keep your shows coming!!!
Congratulations on the 11k subscribers! You totally rock! You're such an inspiration! You should be so proud of yourself! Thank you for your honesty and courage. Blessings.....
I love your videos, you are one terrific lady, you are doing a great job with the house...and like you said, stop and rest .......please get some rest when you need it........GOD BLESS YOU and I will see you in your next video!
I hated it for you to see that mess in your refrigerator after you had just spent all that time cleaning, but I loved how you just took it in stride, and went after it and got it done. You are an amazing lady. You have made some really big steps forward and taken your life back. I thought that when you said it was time you accepted that this was the new you, that you have made such growth and sharing this is so inspiring to others who have similar experiences. Bless you, bless you, bless you! I just love watching your videos. I feel like I have visited with a friend.
Been reading all the comments, which are as enjoyable as watching the video, so lovely to see how you've inspired and touched peoples lives. Its great to see people sharing tips and supporting one another with their "difficulties" quite a little "My New Me Community" coming along :) watching your progress is awesome and I am so chuffed you felt up to having visitors over. As for your son sorting out the sinks whilst you took a rest what a great young man he is, I can tell he's so proud of you. xx
I am so excited to have found you last week I suffer from depression and my house is a disaster. Watching you clean is so motivating to me since it looks more like mine than some of these cleaning my "messy house" youtubers. You motivated me to clean my kitchen last week. It took four days but I am proud to say all my dishes are done, my fridge is clean and you can see all my counter tops. Which is something I haven't been able to say i a few years. I am excited to start working on my living room and being able to start having people over. No one besides my husband and i have been in the house in over six month. I am ashamed to admit in the 5 years we have lived in this house, most of my friends and family have never been inside because, of the mess. I am looking forward to changing that. Can't wait to watch your next video.
The boy is awesome :) We have a septic here so we have to use something like ridex in our kitchen sink or it will back up like that. We also do the baking soda warm vinigar and dawn dish soap thing with 2 big pots of boiling water after washing really greasy pots and pans just to try to stay ahead of it.
So happy to see you using non-toxic ingredients to clean your sink! Hope you'll post your P. O. Box soon! Happy to see you back here and still making progress.
Thank you so much for sharing, I also have been dealing with health issues that just about beat me down. Your honest approach has inspired me. Please keep sharing, I have learned I do what I can, when I can-slowly but surely I am making progress. I love your sense of humor and how you talk to yourself-do not be so hard on yourself please. I have been told I am my own worst critic-was used to being able to go,go and then go some more-not now. I ue the list method myself-try to get as much down as I can, then I rest, and back at it once again. Prayers and blessings to you and your son.
Our sons are just about the exact same age. :-) Your son did a great job unclogging the sinks for you, but I was really wowed by what a good job he did with scrubbing, & cleaning them out for you. They were so shiny, & pretty!
You should do more videos of 1x speed with your voice and watching you clean is calming. I love your voice! Its very lovely and soothing very much like ASMR. (If you dont know what ASMR videos are, look them up!) Very proud of you
I'm so proud of you! I really understand the thought "The fridge and the sink is broken - I'll just move". But you overcame the impulse to ignore it all and call the whole social thing off. (And your son is a real hero for unclogging that sink!) Love from Sweden!
You are very blessed to have such a wonderful son and to, obviously, have such a great relationship with him. He sounds like a great kid! You must have done something right!
You honestly remind me so much of many of the women in my family and it makes me feel like I actually know you! Like you seem so familiar. I really enjoy your process and your ramblings, I love it all
You are my TH-cam hero! I've been dealing with my own health and depression issues for 16 years, medical setback after setbeck, and now I'm trying to put my new life back together. Just watching and listening to your post gives me hope. You go girl!, prayers for your continued success!
Oh yeah I was going to say I use a ton of waterger. I now steep lavender from the yard in my vinegar jug. When the vinegar smell goes away the lavender scent stays. You have motivated me to take back my house too.
Your life sounds like mine. I suffered from depression and a chronic illness. Your cleaning videos are an inspiration for those of us who are not up for a full day of cleaning anymore. Love the list. Once you get started and make yourself proud. It's easier to take another step. Good job and thank you!
Finally I have found someone with my sense of humor, omgoodness!! I'm sure we must be related, and by the way I deep cleaned my kitchen yesterday because of your video, Thx!!
Fridge looks awesome. I was motivated after looking at your videos, but sadly I ran out of motivation. i hope to get motivated later on today and get another section cleaned and organized thanks to you. I am very proud of your accomplishments - AND you are having fun cleaning which is awesome!
I am so very proud of you, sweetie, for not giving up, as tempting as it can be. Let's hear it for your awesome son!! I can see why he's your favourite❤❤❤
Glad to see another video!Thanks for the smile I have on my face from enjoying your video. I have PTSD/MSTD(military) and something as simple as cleaning the bathroom was hard. I remember the first time after getting the proper treatment ,that I was able to clean because I WANTED TO versus struggled to. I cried!Finding your videos were a blessing. People don't understand just because I look OK on the outside doesn't mean it's not a struggle on the inside.I too had to build a new life, a new me!God bless!
I love your channel! From the first video I watched, I was hooked. I am totally impressed with how much you have accomplished. I'm probably near your age, retired due to disability. You are my new HERO!! 🤗 😺 xoxo!!!
Every time I watch you, I learn something new about myself and I feel motivated to do things. Every time I hear you and your commentary you make me laugh so much!! You are so funny and witty . I love your little cat comments! 😻😻😻Keep them coming and I'll be watching ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love your videos! You are so down to earth and genuine! That's a rarity these days! :) l talk to my fur babies just like you do lol You're doing awesome! Keep making videos! I look forward to them! You are an inspiration :) I have fibromyalgia and there are times I can hardly move due to being in so much pain. Sometimes on good days I push myself a little too hard and end up suffering for it afterwards. But like you, I found my own rhythm :) keep up the great work! :)
Awesome video. I am just the way you are, or were. I had a right femoral bypass on my right leg at the knee. I used to be a professional maid in the former MGM Grand. I have been a perfectionist since I was in my early 20's. My house is so dirty right now it depresses me. You are bringing back the drive in me. I think all the time on how to tackle a project and just that overwhelms me. I put everything off until tomorrow. God give me the strength.
You can do it, I know you can. But letting go of that perfectionism instinct in us can be really hard. I had finally reached the stage where I HAD to just remove the top layer of crud before I could even clean anything. Making it perfect can come later. Right now, it's all about the cleaning and making it livable. I hope you can get here with me as well. Good luck!!
I am so proud of the progress you have made and continue to make. You motivate me every time I watch. and I LOVE your term Watager. :) keep up the great work. Just take your time and keep going at your pace.
Yesterday I cleaned my living room after not doing it for weeks due to health problems. I have crazy dogs and it's not easy to keep clean for a long time, though I know it's easier if I do it every day. Today I got home after a long day and saw your video and it inspired me to tidy it up. Just picking up the dog toys and sweeping helped a lot! Thank you!
From a person who have more "BAD DAYS" physically than good days, you had me on the floor cracking up with "Nobody is going go steal your crud." This my second time watching your video. I am no where near as brave as you (showing my struggle with my house that is. . . I'm fearless with other parts of my life as my TH-cam videos will reveal) **devilishly smirking . BTW your boy became my favorite BOY too! My BOY works nights and I know if he was around he would do MORE of the BOY stuff. Took a long time to even accept I needed anyone. That "list" he offered to you is MOTIVATION to create such a list for my BOY (although I need my 27 yr old BOY to get a place of his own to be at the top of my list) LOL Like you I am easily distracted and very intrigued by the OCDish things you get stuck on. You have endeared me to you 4ever just for being you. Believe it or not those things you get stuck on makes you a great engineer, scientist and other STEM areas, not just being domestic and crafty (not that I'm knocking that,, as I pride myself on being skilled at both). I'm just saying instead of me complaining about how nobody encouraged me into technical fields to becoming beacon and steering more women into those fields., I just luckily stumbled into it and became a computer specialist instead of the Fashion Designer I started off in college to be. Some of the most artsy and creative people are ALSO some of the most technically inclined people and I am glad to be able to recognize" potential in the least expected persons ESPECIALLY WOMEN. I spotted it in my grand daughter and I dont want to make the same mistake with her. .Having lived life I wish people around me steered me towards more technical careers but soon as somebody mention MATH I went yikes, don't want to go into nothing that relied upon that yet am a career computer specialist. My younger, healthier self would have laughed at the thought because I was such an artsy, crafty, good at cooking and sewing type of person, so I wasn't even thinking engineer or computer specialist in even a remote way, yet here I am about to embark on a journey into the Solar industry. If people would have said you can be an engineer because you're good at problem solving instead of you have to be good at math (which I wasn't bad at it, I just hated it). LOL A lot of people hate math. I'm definitely not by myself. I hate I ruled my own self out of certain careers just because I hated math and yet in decades of working in the IT field I have NEVER encountered an algebraic equation. LOL But now I am about to become a Solar ENGINEER because I realized that those OCDish things we do also makes us good at problem solving and that;s what engineers are. . . problem solvers. Even to take time to get lighting right for a camera is very technical and people who watch TH-cam videos don't really realize how much technology is involved with getting the right angles and our "creative" "tripods for the simplest and mundane subject matter. Vlogging is an art and science all unto itself and I'm proud of you diving right in and tackling it. too. It takes a LOT of thought to even create videos at all and that's what made me drawn to you. I hope I don't scare you off with my "book comments". I am rooting for you and feel inspired not to give up despite my pain and challenges. Everything happens for a reason. #NewSubbie

You are so inspiring and a beautiful soul. Your videos are a boon to my spirit. You have so much to be proud of. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
My New Me, you are such an inspiration to so many people, including me. I admire how strong and brave you have been and are and your honesty. The fact that you state it's taken days/weeks to get where you are in each room I hope is not lost on many who watch. It's so hard to keep going when your mind isn't quite right and your body won't let you. You've made me laugh and you've made me cry but most of all, you've made me believe that My New Me is here inside of me and one day I will find her. Thank you for giving me that hope and belief. I hope with all of my heart that you will stay well and strong and continue your mental healing and new life journey. Take care, Poo
I feel like I know you... I just want to say I'm proud of you! It's because of you that I have a spray bottle of "wategar" by my kitchen sink and my kitchen is so clean, minus the fridge! After seeing you clean your fridge out again, I'm going to tackle mind this weekend! Again, great job! I'm already looking forward to your next video :) PS It's absolutely worth it!
So awesome to watch what you do! Since becoming disabled in 2006 it's been a constant fight with depression. I have my good days, and bad. On my bad days, I'm going to start watchng your inspirational videos!
I love your videos and I'm so proud of you. I had a mother who got ill and depressed and she was not able to pull herself out of it and passed away a few years ago. Watching your videos bring me such great joy and comfort to see that you are able to do this for yourself. You give me hope for others suffering from similar situations. Thank you for your honestly and vulnerability in inviting us into your life. You are truly an inspiration.
I hope you know how inspiring you are to others! I love your candor and humor and "putting it all out there". It is refreshing, no fancy lighting, no fancy cameras, just you being you. I love that you have taken charge of how you are going to feel and doing what you want to do to accomplish that. That is huge. Also, Congrats on the massive increase in subscribers!!!
Bleach will usually clean out pipes. Also it looked like a lot of oil/grease based material coming out of the pipes. If I have extra grease left over I will put a couple of paper towels in the trash and tip the pan over on them so they can drain and then toss.
Your son is a hero!!! And you are an awesome lady !!!
That is so nice of you!! Thank you!!
Hello dearest Brenda, I don't know if you ever going to see this comment. I just wanted to say that I can't really find the time to actively watch your new videos, but I still return to your first few videos to help me clean. Nothing gets me up and going like seeing you getting your life back. It's now 10 p.m. here in Germany and I am sitting in my super tiny, super messy flat and I am cleaning - slowly, but I am cleaning. Thank you so much for publishing these videos, I don't know what I would do without you. All the best to you!
Indeed totally worth it and love your humor too, thanks for sharing this, and "the boy" is a keeper!!
Have you noticed that the only time a cat walks across the floor is just after you washed it and it is still wet, leaving tiny little paw prints. How cute is that. My cat always uses her litter box right after I've cleaned it and vacuumed those little pieces of litter. I have resigned to doing some things twice. You are the best and your house is becoming your cozy home again.
So glad to see your new video......have been looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing your journey and inspiring me to start mine. Yes...it's worth it!
I needed to tell you that my daughter noticed that I'm doing a little better and she says to me,
"'it's that you tube lady, isn't it"? I swear, YOU ARE GIVING ME HOPE!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Please
keep your shows coming!
I let my house go downhill after our 3 month old daughter died 3 years ago. Watching your videos inspired me to organize and clean my kitchen. Thank you!
PatriotApril sending you from the other part of the world a big hug and a lot of sincere love for your courage..
Naw Naw Thank you ❤️
PatriotApril how heartbreaking. Hope you are doing better today.
You are such an inspiration Brenda. I have been knocked down with chronic fatigue so I understand how you work, rest, work, rest. Something I found so very helpful is an upright vacuum cleaner. I purchased a little Electrolux (one the can be removed from the stem for cleaning the car or small jobs). It has helped me so much cos it is so light I can vacuum each day more easily than sweeping. Keep going strong. You are a winner.
PatriotApril so very sorry for your loss. Prayers!
You're awesome!!!! I spiraled into a deep depression several years ago and remember "reclaiming" my life. It's so hard! I ADMIRE YOU FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO NOT ONLY GET YOUR LIFE BACK BUT ALSO TO DOCUMENT IT. ❤️
Looked like grease chunks coming back up in the sink. I don't have a garbage disposal so I pour my grease in an old tin can. Also at Dollar Tree or most dollar stores they have a plastic cover to place over food for the microwave. It has saved my shoulder from scrubbing (had shoulder surgery in March and I am almost able to return back to work). I'm very happy to see that you are keeping up with your house work and that you are feeling well enough physically and mentally for company!
I got the cover plates for microwaving and they really do help. (when I remember to use them. Ha)
She could use a dustpan with a handle from the dollar tree. It's a life saver on my back.
They make those???!!! Woohoo. Tomorrow its dollar tree day. Maybe the 99 cents store too. I can always use fresh vegies.
Wow, gotta go to the dollar tree! I have been sweeping and holding the dust pan with my feet, lol!
Rita Buck I don't have a disposal either, so I pour my old grease & cooking oil in an old spaghetti marinara sauce glass jar!! When it's full, THEN dispose of it.
Your son is adorable! Such a thoughtful thing to do for his mama❤️
I feel like you would a great author, the way you narrate your video is like reading a very good book. Have you ever thought of writing?
Yes!!
Even if she never writes herself, she should totally narrate audiobooks! People all over do that from home.
I'd like to second the writing and the audiobooks!!
Oh wow!! This is very nice of all of you to say. I've never thought of it honestly. Thank you for the food for thought.
exactly !!!
Wow, you have one wonderful son!! He went to the store, bought a plunger, came home unplugged the sink and left it all sparkling for you to see when you got up from your nap?!? What else matters when we you have a wonderful son ❤️.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I like what you said, lol... "take your time, no one's going to steal your crud." You're doing a great job!!!
LMAO, no one is gonna come in and steal your crud. GOLD :0)
"its time to accept the person that I am now" I like that. That applies to so many individual situations. Thank you, I needed that.
It doesn't matter how fast you do it, you're doing it and that's what matters. Slow and steady wins the race. Keep at it you have come so far x
You are so right!! Thank you!!
It took me 3 hours to clean my kitchen tonight. And that wasn't even vacuuming or washing the floors. That was dishes, organizing, cleaning the stove, more dishes, organizing the pantry, putting away dishes and cleaning the counter.. 3 hours.. but I just cant do it quick. I have to take my time now. My back hurts, It's the dead of summer so I sweat like crazy and I have hypothyroidism. It takes a lot to get me moving and going. I love watching your videos. It really helps me and motivates me to do more. I watched all your videos tonight and then went and cleaned my kitchen.
That's so awesome that my videos motivate you!! But please don't beat yourself up. 3 hours to do a kitchen is FAST. It took me all day. It's your home and your sanctuary. There's no time clock, no race. Do what makes you comfortable and at the pace that is pleasant for you. Have fun with it......well, as much as dishwashing can be fun. lol
HippieLady420 your symptoms are just like mine. It has been a rough summer.
I have thyroid problems too getting motivated is the hardest thing and when I dostart doing things the osteoporosis rebels unrelentingly so thank yo "MY NEW ME" your channel is so encouraging
I have no Thyroid (thanks Cancer), Lupus and arthritis. I understand pain.... and pacing yourself. I get so inspired by these videos! We are not going to be drfestrd by our bodies! And yes I do find myself genuinely laughing watching these videos.
HippieLady420 I have a small fan on my kitchen counter and for my birthday I asked for a pretty aqua colored task chair on wheels. I sit while I clean and have the fan to move the air around. It works.
Your son seems like a keeper! 😉 Those sinks were beautiful! People often overlook the little things that can be done for others, but it seems like your son has it figured out.
I think I'll keep him! Thank you. And you are so right about the little things that are a huge help!
My New Me and
Wow - your son was so sweet to do that for you!!!!
Son sounds precious. I don't even know him but I love him for being so wonderful to him mum! Sounds like a great guy. I am guess he would say she is a pretty great mom also!
proud of you. you are encouraging.
Your videos are really inspiring to me. Thank you for making them!
*Lookin' Good! How did your company like your home? I'm in the same boat as you. You are inspiring...Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Sending Love & Light Your Way!*
You just picked up a new subbie. Your sarcasm towards yourself is infectious keeps me laughing. I think EVERYTHING happens for a reason. I can't use my physical illness as an excuse for my constant chaos and disorganization. Truth is, I was easily distracted and easily overwhelmed even when I was healthy no matter what I try to accomplish. My illness only escalated the problem. I've been on my own journey (tho I refuse to record it. . . I'm not as brave as you) of decluttering my life because I want have a simpler life and go Tiny as in Tiny House. I realized like you did, miraculous things CAN happen even in little bits and pieces at a time and it has worked to get me from a "don't want to live anymore" to "I can achieve great things despite my challenges." Unfortunately, I hit a plateau and slowly watched my clutter grow again, partly because I've been breaking my own rule of not removing as much STUFF as I bring into the house from shopping. Gots to do better. . . Know that you are inspiring a lot of people and I for one am glad I stumbled upon you. . . not sure how because I was watching videos on how to grow hair. LOL Anywho, keep up the good work! You should be proud!
I'm 17 and not quite sure how I came across your channel the other day but I have to say you're a very inspirational person and your journey fascinates me. I love seeing your progress, hope you're well ❤️
Sandra McCrindle dude. Smae.
Ikr she inspired me to declutter my closet and living room
Lol at "Ever so rudely close this door on you!"
I'm glad I came upon your journey. I work in home oxygen and I come upon many homes in the same condition as where you started. Your videos grabbed at me because I thought to myself this is likely how many of my patients feel! Some of the folks could maybe, maybe do a bit more for themselves; however, I think most of them are like you and would like their homes to be tidy and clean like they used to keep it.
I love your running commentary as you are working. And, of course, your kitty conversations. You are doing a great job! Keep up the good work. And, I hope you enjoyed visiting with your company.
I have watched this video many times (as I am housecleaning) and I cannot express to you how similar we are. I have also had to go through the "slowing down" process and it sure kicks you in the butt. I never considered myself a "depressive" type personality. I just cowgirled up and just ploughed through. But when I slowed down physically, like I did, something happened to me mentally that I really did not expect and that really hit me hard. I couldn't believe how down it got me. I had to change my whole way of thinking about myself and my pace of getting things done...It was so much more difficult than I expected and I have been through a lot. Your videos are so amazing because they helped me to realize that it was ok to accept this new me. Your handle name is perfect for your channel........ "My New Me"👍🏼I love when you film your "slow self." That's me in a nutshell. You said so many things in this video that paralleled my life so perfectly. Even when you said even a "shower and dressing can be exhausting." So true. The only one person I feel comfortable talking to about this New Me is my mother and that is only because she could see how much I had slowed down and she asked me if I was ok. I HAD to tell her because you know moms, they worry so much.I share so many of your opinions and your approaches to tasks. I get that. Thanks so much for sharing your struggles and triumphs and giving us courage to embrace our challenges. I had to give up my vegetable garden also. I didn't give it up totally though, I cut way back but I still have 3 tomato plants in containers!!😂😂 I appreciate your sharing this journey more than you know. God Bless you and yours.❤️
I can hear in your voice such pride in your work. It's definitely making you feel good to be able to take care of your home. Your bedroom and livingroom look amazing! Instead of a "honey-do" list, you need a "sonny-do" list!😏
You have helped me a lot. I also am constantly fighting depression. My house was a wreck. You motivated me to just get up and get started. I've been working on one room at a time and have made a lot of progress. So thank you!!😊
Yay!! on the progress!!! And how are you feeling after making those huge accomplishments? Are you feeling better about everything in general? I know it made me feel better most days and most of the time. I hope so for you, too. Thanks so much for giving this great news!!
I started to clean some then hubby says his friend will be here in a week or two to paint 1 room.So my house is cluttered with furniture in some rooms.
My New Me I do feel more optimistic in general. I definitely find that I get up a lot easier in the mornings just knowing that I don't have a big mess to have to look at first thing!
Please keep the videos coming! They are so inspiring, and you have an awesome sense of humor.
A car wreck almost 12 years ago (at age 47) left me really banged up. I move VERY slowly too. Your videos have given me (and many others) new hope and real-life inspiration. Hang in there .. Do what you can when you can .. Life has a way of working everything out .. If you give it time and opportunity ...
Thanks for being brave enough to challenge yourself .. Over 12k of us are VERY glad you did !
I am so excited and happy for you ! Eleven Thousand subscribers in such a short period of time. You are doing amazing. And I'm also happy that you had company coming. Something you haven't had in a long time. You worked really hard for it and it payed off. I wish you all good things and I thank you for sharing your journey . You have truly inspired many people, me included. ❣❣❣
Someone below said that you would be a great author and I agree. You let us see what you are doing and the challenges you are facing in a way that is clear, concise and entertaining. Glad to see that you are "keeping up" with your new me project. Looks good and must have felt wonderful to have visitors when you felt good about your home. Nothing beats that.
It's so good to see you back'. I forgot about your "put an old rag on the Swiffer" idea and have been nagging the hubby for Swiffer cloths. He got tired of my nagging and went off with his buddy to the mountains! 😃 he'll be back when he gets hungry, but until then, thanks to you posting this, I can FINALLY clean my floors tomorrow! With a rag on a Swiffer!
Beth Wade Lol better than nothing and then putting it off over and over again
They work great, in my opinion. Especially when there are all those little cracks to get into. The swiffer cloths just weren't thick enough for that. Enjoy your mopping fun!!
.
.
Beth Wade I buy the microfiber towels from Dollar Tree and they work great wet or dry. 👍🏼👍🏼
Yay! Another video! I think I love "the boy." What a good son. Your narrating is great, inspiring, entertaining, witty, truthful, insightful and endearing. I am so happy for your phenomenal success, both personally and in TH-cam land! You are amazing!
BanDana Gramma I know YOU from Dining On A Dime!!! 💕
You are such a blessing to watch. God bless. TFS
You are a true warrior. I admire your sarcasm, determination, and honesty. Your house is looking fantastic. Your son sounds like a keeper. Your fur babies are adorable and I want to snuggle, love and pet them - even though I have plenty of cats already. Fur is a way of life around here. No escaping it. LOL.
And this reminded me I need to baking soda/vinegar/hot water the kitchen sink drains.
Great job! Yes I think it was worth all of your hard work! It is so good, you did a fabulous job.
It really was worth it. I had an awesome visit with family. Thank you!!
My New Me 🙄
As someone with chronic illness, one of my fav quotes is " healing does not mean going back to the way you were " i thought if it when you were talking about accepting who you are now. And that is my journey too ♡ much love to u!
Best day ever. Do the happy dance and call it a day!
You are awesome! Also sweet, caring, kind & hard-working. I love how you treat your kitty. No wonder she clearly loves & trusts you. And I love that "the boy" took care of the sink for you because he wanted you to be happy. Wow! tfs, ♡
Yay a new vid....You got a good son there. I'm so happy that he helps you. I really hope and pray you are able to tap into some resources to get hot water and to have any appliances or whatever you need fixed. Great job on the microwave, fridge, and keeping things maintained. I have to go slow too when I clean or shop or whatever because of back issues and inner ear issues that cause me to get dizzy. Like you I have to take lots of breaks and go at my own pace and get it done when I can. I find I can relate to you in many ways and so your vids are very encouraging for me :) 11k whoohoo...you go girl :D.....And YES it was worth it :D
Congratulations on having company over! I haven't had people over besides my mom in months now. Now that I am getting my place in order, I feel that I can have a friend over and not be embarrassed.
It's such a small thing yet so unbelievably huge. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed it.
HippieLady420 i cant wait to get to that point!
Your son did a great job! For your microwave, WalMart sells wonderful microwave plate covers by Nordic Ware. They are tall, easily fit over a plate of food, and only cost a couple of dollars. Since they rarely touch the food, we have two, so we can wash one while using the other. They also save trees. :)
Your fridge is spotless!!! One of these days maybe I'll be able to do mine. I love watching your shows!
They are helping me!! Thank you! Keep your shows coming!!!
Congratulations on the 11k subscribers! You totally rock! You're such an inspiration! You should be so proud of yourself! Thank you for your honesty and courage. Blessings.....
Hi, I enjoy watching you. To keep down cost of buying paper towels, I use a microwave food cover. hugs❤️
I love your videos, you are one terrific lady, you are doing a great job with the house...and like you said, stop and rest .......please get some rest when you need it........GOD BLESS YOU and I will see you in your next video!
I hated it for you to see that mess in your refrigerator after you had just spent all that time cleaning, but I loved how you just took it in stride, and went after it and got it done. You are an amazing lady. You have made some really big steps forward and taken your life back. I thought that when you said it was time you accepted that this was the new you, that you have made such growth and sharing this is so inspiring to others who have similar experiences. Bless you, bless you, bless you! I just love watching your videos. I feel like I have visited with a friend.
So sweet your son took care of the sink for You! You are an inspiration! Love your channel ❤
Been reading all the comments, which are as enjoyable as watching the video, so lovely to see how you've inspired and touched peoples lives. Its great to see people sharing tips and supporting one another with their "difficulties" quite a little "My New Me Community" coming along :) watching your progress is awesome and I am so chuffed you felt up to having visitors over. As for your son sorting out the sinks whilst you took a rest what a great young man he is, I can tell he's so proud of you. xx
I agree, Clare. And by reading your comment I learned a new word...chuffed!
A very British word and I am chuffed you liked my comment :)
Yes it was worth it :) You are awesome, I love your videos!!!
I am so excited to have found you last week I suffer from depression and my house is a disaster. Watching you clean is so motivating to me since it looks more like mine than some of these cleaning my "messy house" youtubers. You motivated me to clean my kitchen last week. It took four days but I am proud to say all my dishes are done, my fridge is clean and you can see all my counter tops. Which is something I haven't been able to say i a few years. I am excited to start working on my living room and being able to start having people over. No one besides my husband and i have been in the house in over six month. I am ashamed to admit in the 5 years we have lived in this house, most of my friends and family have never been inside because, of the mess. I am looking forward to changing that. Can't wait to watch your next video.
The boy is awesome :) We have a septic here so we have to use something like ridex in our kitchen sink or it will back up like that. We also do the baking soda warm vinigar and dawn dish soap thing with 2 big pots of boiling water after washing really greasy pots and pans just to try to stay ahead of it.
So happy to see you using non-toxic ingredients to clean your sink! Hope you'll post your P. O. Box soon! Happy to see you back here and still making progress.
KansasGirl i
Thank you so much for sharing, I also have been dealing with health issues that just about beat me down. Your honest approach has inspired me. Please keep sharing, I have learned I do what I can, when I can-slowly but surely I am making progress. I love your sense of humor and how you talk to yourself-do not be so hard on yourself please. I have been told I am my own worst critic-was used to being able to go,go and then go some more-not now. I ue the list method myself-try to get as much down as I can, then I rest, and back at it once again. Prayers and blessings to you and your son.
Our sons are just about the exact same age. :-) Your son did a great job unclogging the sinks for you, but I was really wowed by what a good job he did with scrubbing, & cleaning them out for you. They were so shiny, & pretty!
You should do more videos of 1x speed with your voice and watching you clean is calming. I love your voice! Its very lovely and soothing very much like ASMR. (If you dont know what ASMR videos are, look them up!) Very proud of you
I'm so proud of you! I really understand the thought "The fridge and the sink is broken - I'll just move". But you overcame the impulse to ignore it all and call the whole social thing off. (And your son is a real hero for unclogging that sink!) Love from Sweden!
Thanks for sharing another video! Your son seems awesome, props to him for fixing the sink!
Thank you!!
You are very blessed to have such a wonderful son and to, obviously, have such a great relationship with him. He sounds like a great kid! You must have done something right!
Never fail to put a smile on my face! Great to see you continuing your journey. :-)
You honestly remind me so much of many of the women in my family and it makes me feel like I actually know you! Like you seem so familiar. I really enjoy your process and your ramblings, I love it all
Well then, hello distant maybe relative!! lol I have a very large family so who knows. Anything's possible. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
I think that's it. She does seem familiar. Like an old friend. I feel I want to pop over for a cuppa and a laugh.
If I have one skill in life, it's boiling water. So I'll put the water on for you!! lol
You are my TH-cam hero! I've been dealing with my own health and depression issues for 16 years, medical setback after setbeck, and now I'm trying to put my new life back together. Just watching and listening to your post gives me hope. You go girl!, prayers for your continued success!
I just love you! That is all :)
Oh yeah I was going to say I use a ton of waterger. I now steep lavender from the yard in my vinegar jug. When the vinegar smell goes away the lavender scent stays. You have motivated me to take back my house too.
Carolyn Wisniewski Steeping herbs or flowers sounds absolutely amazing! TFS!!
BlueFoxxyNatural84 when halos go on sale I stuff the peels in makes a great citrus cleaner :)
That's really smart! I love that idea. We have mint growing in our yard, I wonder if that'll work too.
Undateableblackgirl fresh mostly will be more fragrant in the solution
Your life sounds like mine. I suffered from depression and a chronic illness. Your cleaning videos are an inspiration for those of us who are not up for a full day of cleaning anymore. Love the list. Once you get started and make yourself proud. It's easier to take another step. Good job and thank you!
Finally I have found someone with my sense of humor, omgoodness!! I'm sure we must be related, and by the way I deep cleaned my kitchen yesterday because of your video, Thx!!
OH! MY! GOODNESS!!!! That sink was so gross LOL! You are SO FABULOUS I CAN'T STAND IT! Your son is a GEM for setting your kitchen sink straight! :)
You are an inspiration to us all, I personally marvel at how you push through even when you get tired. Keep up the great work. Ta for now.
Your son is a sweetheart! Keep at it! You're doing great! I love your sarcasm.
Fridge looks awesome. I was motivated after looking at your videos, but sadly I ran out of motivation. i hope to get motivated later on today and get another section cleaned and organized thanks to you. I am very proud of your accomplishments - AND you are having fun cleaning which is awesome!
I am so very proud of you, sweetie, for not giving up, as tempting as it can be. Let's hear it for your awesome son!! I can see why he's your favourite❤❤❤
You're doing so well so very very good I'm a hot mess looking at your videos helped me put my laundry away and clean the bathroom
Another great video, with funny comments. Thanks for sharing with us.
so glad to see you again! you are an inspiration to me. and I am going to be a new me too, slowly but surely. thank you.
It is totally worth it! Thank you for being real with us. I love how you tackled those messy "events." Great job!!
Glad to see another video!Thanks for the smile I have on my face from enjoying your video. I have PTSD/MSTD(military) and something as simple as cleaning the bathroom was hard. I remember the first time after getting the proper treatment ,that I was able to clean because I WANTED TO versus struggled to. I cried!Finding your videos were a blessing. People don't understand just because I look OK on the outside doesn't mean it's not a struggle on the inside.I too had to build a new life, a new me!God bless!
Mia 68 thank you for serving our County!!!
It doesn't matter what speed you go at the fact the you start is something to be very proud of!!
I love your channel! From the first video I watched, I was hooked. I am totally impressed with how much you have accomplished. I'm probably near your age, retired due to disability. You are my new HERO!! 🤗 😺 xoxo!!!
I've never been a hero before. Well, except for the one time I let my son have a banana split for dinner when he was 12. lol Thank you so much!
Every time I watch you, I learn something new about myself and I feel motivated to do things. Every time I hear you and your commentary you make me laugh so much!! You are so funny and witty . I love your little cat comments! 😻😻😻Keep them coming and I'll be watching ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love your videos! You are so down to earth and genuine! That's a rarity these days! :) l talk to my fur babies just like you do lol You're doing awesome! Keep making videos! I look forward to them! You are an inspiration :) I have fibromyalgia and there are times I can hardly move due to being in so much pain. Sometimes on good days I push myself a little too hard and end up suffering for it afterwards. But like you, I found my own rhythm :) keep up the great work! :)
That was SO thoughtful of your son!! I'm blown away by that act of kindness!
Awesome video. I am just the way you are, or were. I had a right femoral bypass on my right leg at the knee. I used to be a professional maid in the former MGM Grand. I have been a perfectionist since I was in my early 20's. My house is so dirty right now it depresses me. You are bringing back the drive in me. I think all the time on how to tackle a project and just that overwhelms me. I put everything off until tomorrow. God give me the strength.
You can do it, I know you can. But letting go of that perfectionism instinct in us can be really hard. I had finally reached the stage where I HAD to just remove the top layer of crud before I could even clean anything. Making it perfect can come later. Right now, it's all about the cleaning and making it livable. I hope you can get here with me as well. Good luck!!
You have the most incredible attitude. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I am so proud of the progress you have made and continue to make. You motivate me every time I watch. and I LOVE your term Watager. :) keep up the great work. Just take your time and keep going at your pace.
Yesterday I cleaned my living room after not doing it for weeks due to health problems. I have crazy dogs and it's not easy to keep clean for a long time, though I know it's easier if I do it every day. Today I got home after a long day and saw your video and it inspired me to tidy it up. Just picking up the dog toys and sweeping helped a lot! Thank you!
From a person who have more "BAD DAYS" physically than good days, you had me on the floor cracking up with "Nobody is going go steal your crud." This my second time watching your video. I am no where near as brave as you (showing my struggle with my house that is. . . I'm fearless with other parts of my life as my TH-cam videos will reveal) **devilishly smirking . BTW your boy became my favorite BOY too! My BOY works nights and I know if he was around he would do MORE of the BOY stuff. Took a long time to even accept I needed anyone. That "list" he offered to you is MOTIVATION to create such a list for my BOY (although I need my 27 yr old BOY to get a place of his own to be at the top of my list) LOL Like you I am easily distracted and very intrigued by the OCDish things you get stuck on. You have endeared me to you 4ever just for being you. Believe it or not those things you get stuck on makes you a great engineer, scientist and other STEM areas, not just being domestic and crafty (not that I'm knocking that,, as I pride myself on being skilled at both). I'm just saying instead of me complaining about how nobody encouraged me into technical fields to becoming beacon and steering more women into those fields., I just luckily stumbled into it and became a computer specialist instead of the Fashion Designer I started off in college to be. Some of the most artsy and creative people are ALSO some of the most technically inclined people and I am glad to be able to recognize" potential in the least expected persons ESPECIALLY WOMEN. I spotted it in my grand daughter and I dont want to make the same mistake with her. .Having lived life I wish people around me steered me towards more technical careers but soon as somebody mention MATH I went yikes, don't want to go into nothing that relied upon that yet am a career computer specialist. My younger, healthier self would have laughed at the thought because I was such an artsy, crafty, good at cooking and sewing type of person, so I wasn't even thinking engineer or computer specialist in even a remote way, yet here I am about to embark on a journey into the Solar industry. If people would have said you can be an engineer because you're good at problem solving instead of you have to be good at math (which I wasn't bad at it, I just hated it). LOL A lot of people hate math. I'm definitely not by myself. I hate I ruled my own self out of certain careers just because I hated math and yet in decades of working in the IT field I have NEVER encountered an algebraic equation. LOL But now I am about to become a Solar ENGINEER because I realized that those OCDish things we do also makes us good at problem solving and that;s what engineers are. . . problem solvers. Even to take time to get lighting right for a camera is very technical and people who watch TH-cam videos don't really realize how much technology is involved with getting the right angles and our "creative" "tripods for the simplest and mundane subject matter. Vlogging is an art and science all unto itself and I'm proud of you diving right in and tackling it. too. It takes a LOT of thought to even create videos at all and that's what made me drawn to you. I hope I don't scare you off with my "book comments". I am rooting for you and feel inspired not to give up despite my pain and challenges. Everything happens for a reason. #NewSubbie
Of the handful of people I've subscribed to, your videos are the ones I look forward to the most!!

You are so inspiring and a beautiful soul. Your videos are a boon to my spirit. You have so much to be proud of. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
You have a fine sense of humor! 👍🏽
My New Me, you are such an inspiration to so many people, including me. I admire how strong and brave you have been and are and your honesty. The fact that you state it's taken days/weeks to get where you are in each room I hope is not lost on many who watch. It's so hard to keep going when your mind isn't quite right and your body won't let you. You've made me laugh and you've made me cry but most of all, you've made me believe that My New Me is here inside of me and one day I will find her. Thank you for giving me that hope and belief. I hope with all of my heart that you will stay well and strong and continue your mental healing and new life journey. Take care, Poo
I feel like I know you... I just want to say I'm proud of you! It's because of you that I have a spray bottle of "wategar" by my kitchen sink and my kitchen is so clean, minus the fridge! After seeing you clean your fridge out again, I'm going to tackle mind this weekend! Again, great job! I'm already looking forward to your next video :) PS It's absolutely worth it!
So awesome to watch what you do!
Since becoming disabled in 2006 it's been a constant fight with depression.
I have my good days, and bad. On my bad days, I'm going to start watchng your inspirational videos!
I use the baking soda-vinegar at least once every two months...yeah, I absolutely have too much fun with that. Bubbles who doesn't like bubbles. : )
It really was very fun. And I was definitely procrastinating on the fridge......but it was still fun. Thanks for the great comment!!
Great new video, thank for sharing it. Keep up the good work and kudos to your son for all he does for you.
love your videos. they have gave me hope and motivation in getting my house in order. the naps do help.
I love your videos and I'm so proud of you. I had a mother who got ill and depressed and she was not able to pull herself out of it and passed away a few years ago. Watching your videos bring me such great joy and comfort to see that you are able to do this for yourself. You give me hope for others suffering from similar situations. Thank you for your honestly and vulnerability in inviting us into your life. You are truly an inspiration.
Yay! You are doing so good! I love watching your videos so dont lose that motivation you got going on!
I hope you know how inspiring you are to others! I love your candor and humor and "putting it all out there". It is refreshing, no fancy lighting, no fancy cameras, just you being you. I love that you have taken charge of how you are going to feel and doing what you want to do to accomplish that. That is huge. Also, Congrats on the massive increase in subscribers!!!
Company is a 'game changer' !
You are doing great! You son is an Angel. HUGS!!! Congratulations on having company again.
It was so nice!! I'd forgotten how much I enjoy it. Thank you!!
Bleach will usually clean out pipes. Also it looked like a lot of oil/grease based material coming out of the pipes. If I have extra grease left over I will put a couple of paper towels in the trash and tip the pan over on them so they can drain and then toss.
