Take all the time you need. I too have been in a rut. I haven't made anything since last June when they found a mass in my breast. It's kinda hard to get back on that train but I know one day I will and so will you. Real life is the most important thing in the world. Take care of yourself and we Will be here when you're ready to be back.

I can so relate!! I am in therapy, too, and wasn't at all prepared for the bumpy ride and the blows to my creative process. But that means it's working! We are coming back better, stronger, and more resilient. It's a messy process, so proud of you.

Oh Gina, big hugs! I've been struggling with medical issues, too (one thing after another it seems), but we'll eventually come out the other side. I'm so happy you've reached 100k! We obviously all love you and your content, no matter how often or infrequently you post, and -- whenever you're ready -- we'll be glad to know you're continuing at a sustainable pace. Meantime, enjoy your family, congratulate yourself on your milestone, and pat yourself on the back for having a fine sense of self-preservation!🥰😉

Our capacities and priorities change as our families change and grow. We used to refer to these as "seasons". Some seasons see us very busy out in the world, and some see us very busy within ourselves. All seasons are necessary as we fulfill the cycle that is our life. I am so pleased that you are respecting the different seasons in your life, and adapting things for your best well-being.

Taking care of yourself should always be the top priority- there are more of you (myself included) that have been there than not. Take your time and don’t rush - and know you are very much appreciated- 🌻🌷

I'm very happy that you took time off to take care of yourself and your family. I was in the hospital for two months last summer and I still haven't worked on a piece of jewelry. My mind wants to, but my body tells me I'm in to much pain or too tired. I can't wait to see you on Friday and any other time you are up to posting. Take your time, we will be here. I learned how to do most of my beading from you. 💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜 CONGRATULATIONS O

You’re a amazing human and a awesome bearer. Things happen that is part of living in a imperfect world. But be sure that they will be better. Don’t ever give up. Jehovah God is always there with people that have a big heart like you. Hope to see you soon.

Hi beading buddies! 💜 I miss you all so much, and I feel like the worst YouTuber ever for leaving you all hanging recently. This was never, ever my intention. As a general update, though, my family and I are doing fine, and that's what I've chosen to prioritize. Please know that I have still been struggling a bit, personally, and at the same time I am working through some things in therapy right now. It's been a bumpy road...I didn't anticipate how much this process would affect my creativity and day-to-day routine. I have faith that I will find my footing again soon, and can't thank you all enough for your support and understanding during this strange time!
As for some SUPER AWESOME, OUTRAGEOUSLY EXCITING news, though... this little beading channel hit 100k subscribers last week!! My goal is to share a video on Friday in celebration of this HUGE milestone, so please be on the lookout. In addition, I'm planning on hosting a giveaway to share my intense gratitude for your loyalty and viewership. I wouldn't be here without YOU, after all!
Thank you all so much for your kindness, and for those who have expressed their concern for me over this past year. I am excited to keep moving forward at a pace that is realistic for my life right now, and will continue to do my very best to keep the fun beading content coming more regularly...just not at the break-neck pace that I was sharing before. ;) I hope to be able to share more with you soon, and want to make sure that everyone who is struggling right now knows they are not alone. Let's keep going together!! Big hugs!! 💜🤗💜
