So sorry, but no Talk Tuesday video this week.

Instead, I'm spending the last few days enjoying Nate's company before he returns to his apartment and starts his new job.

I'm also redoing my closet/office space (yet) again.

I desperately need a fresh start, a boost of motivation, and - frankly - more joy. And this is certainly helping.

I'll dive more into all the specifics next week. 😀

But for now, thank you for your patience, and I hope you have a wonderful week and that you find a way to create a little more joy for yourself, too!

Until soon,
Shannon

When it rains, it pours... Apparently, right through my ceiling. :(
Sorry, Everyone. But I'm not sure I'll be able to get a Talk Tuesday video out this week.
We had a pretty significant wind-and-rain storm earlier last week, followed by an unexpected 6 inches of snow on Friday. And all of this revealed leaks in our roof as water stains began appearing all over our ceiling. YIKES.
I'm now spending the week trying to schedule roof inspections to get as many quotes as I can.

All that said, though, I have to say I'm impressing myself with how well I'm managing to hold it together. LOL An entire roof replacement (which I think is going to be required based on the age of our roof alone) is incredibly expensive. This alone could lead me to panic. And couple all of this with Mark's ongoing impulsivity and behavioral challenges, massive amounts of hot flashes, and a pretty significant flare of my psoriatic arthritis due to hormonal fluctuations. (Menopause is not for the faint of heart! LOL) Yeah, I feel like a bit of a meltdown might be warranted. But I feel like I'm handling all the additional stress pretty well.

And I attribute that to leaning into my priorities with more intention despite all the madness that's currently going on both in my personal life and in the world.
From that perspective, my little "90 Days of Promise & Purpose" challenge to try to improve my life in 3 months truly is seeming to help, even if I don't reach all my goals entirely. I'm feeling a tangible shift in how I spend my days, making more time to do what I *want* to do, what I *enjoy*, rather than only getting around to the stuff I *have* to do.

All that said, I want to thank all of you who tune in to watch my videos every week—including Talk Tuesday! I'm so sorry to miss this week. But—without a roof, I'd have to stop filming and sharing entirely. So, thanks so much for your patience.

I can't wait to share more shortly! In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy some of my previous videos. And, if you don't mind, please continue to like, share, comment (and subscribe if you haven't already). It really truly helps me out a whole lot!

Until soon and I hope you have a great rest of your week :),

Sorry, I'm afraid no "Talk Tuesday" video this week.
We had a pretty bad 3-day storm, the first Fall storm of the year. And, though we managed *not* to lose power, we did lose running water for about half of today. So, yeah, that was fun. But thankfully, all is well—even if a little messy outside, now.

Truth be told, when we went for our evening walk tonight, the smell of pine clung to the cold night air and kept me breathing in deeply. All the broken tree branches and piles of fir needles that littered the road and sidewalks absolutely permeated the air with the smells of Christmas! (Not gonna lie, it certainly got me in the mood to decorate. lol)

Wherever you are, I hope you're having a wonderful week! And thank you in advance for your understanding.

Until soon, Shannon

You Guys!!! Thank you for watching, commenting, and subscribing. Thank you for joining and being a part of my little community here on YouTube. ❤️

Because of all of you, my channel has reached 1,000 subscribers!

Couldn't have happened at a better time for my morale, either. Let's just say it's been a LONG summer filled with all sorts of busyness and distractions. Lol

If you're here reading this, know you've made a difference for me personally.

See you in the next video 👀,
Shannon

So, quick question... I'm sharing stationery stuff videos every Sunday. But I've just recently went through a bit of a personal crisis (so many changes all at once time - let me know if you want to hear a bit about that, too! 😉). But as a result of that crisis, I've decided to start another project. This time I'm going to work on writing an adult fiction book (for the very first time). I'm gonna give it a go! Should I share videos about this new journey in extra videos on Wednesdays? I don't want to bother sharing unless there's an interest in it. So thanks in advance for your opinion!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah, or any other holiday you may celebrate! (I'm very much pro any celebration for any reason, frankly! We all need a little more joy in our lives, don't we?!)

No matter what you celebrate or how, I hope these next few days and weeks (as we begin a brand new year) are filled with nothing but the very best for you and those you love. ❤️

Thank you to each and every one of you who have taken the time to watch my videos, share a comment, and encourage me on this crazy personal YouTube adventure I'm on.

So grateful for YOU!
Always remember, I care, and you matter!

So... we had a pretty bad windstorm in the PNW yesterday. No power all afternoon, and most of the night. Now, we've been without internet for 15 hours - and no ETA of when it'll be repaired.

That said, I did record a video yesterday morning before the storm hit. Yay! I just can't upload it yet to share with you.

Thanks in advance for your patience!

My very first fiction book is nearly halfway written. (Yay!!!) And now, I'm looking for a few volunteers who would be willing to read the first few chapters and provide some honest feedback.

It's a middle grade science fiction book. So, it's a super easy (and hopefully fun!) read.

If you know a child (roughly between the ages of 8 - 12 years old) OR if you'd like to read or yourself, please send me an email (Shannon@shannonmedisky.com).

Thank you so much! Shannon
