    My Grandma and I shared a love of Outlander together. We would talk about the books and the show. it was great. She swore once that she couldn't die before Clare and Jaime so she knows what happened. Sadly......covid and she passed in 2020. When the next book in the series came out it was so hard for me to read but I told myself I had to do it because she would be reading it with me.

I can’t imagine how hard it must have been to read the next book without her, but I’m sure she would be incredibly proud of you for continuing your shared passion. Holding onto those memories and reading the book in her honor is such a touching way to keep her spirit alive.🥹❤❤

    I kept waiting for you to announce the book and when you finally did, I let out an audible sigh. I too, read a portion of it in the late 90s. I put it down, then when I saw it was coming to Starz, (first), I picked it up again. You’re so right about timing. I became obsessed. YES, it takes over, but 5 days is a record I think. I’m re-reading them now. They’re that good and I’m 75.
    I must find that tea, London Fog, and follow your recipe…while enjoying the books. The author is working on the 10th and final book of the series. It takes her a while (the size). Also, 2 yrs., ago my 2 daughters and I took an Outlander tour in Scotland. It was on my bucket list, especially after I learned I have 11% Scotts DNA.
    OK, that’s enough😂

    You are so creative! I never thought about junk journaling, but your videos inspire me! You have so much enthusiasm and joy for journaling/notebooks! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas! Morgan Harper Nichols has an affirmation that says " I am making room for things that heal my heart". So I do need to focus on self-care activities! In a previous comment I mentioned Diane in Denmark on some of her Friday videos called weekly planning self-care gives four self-care assignments/ideas that one can choose from for the week and in those videos she mentioned ideas like spending time in nature, creativity, new recipes, listening to music. Also Mariane Cresp mentioned in her boost your mood video about creativity and music. So music and dancing are great. I also watched Kennedy from the channel Cozy K, cozy hobbies to try videos. I also like walking as a form of self-care. This includes outdoor walks and CZcams walks like Gina B from the channel Up to the beat fit and Leslie Sansone Walk at Home.

There’s no need to keep buying these things! Xx

Love me some Jaime! 😂 Not that I need any more books either, but everyone says the books are so much better (like in most book to show/movie adaptions), so I'm excited to compare. I’m thrilled to hear that my journals have inspired you to keep all those lil stickers you come across. It’s incredible how quickly they add up, isn’t it? There really is no need to keep buying more when you have such a fun stash already. Thanks for sharing your excitement and for being part of this creative journey with me! ♥️📚

Season 1 Ep 1 hooked and then that was it - HOOK, LINE AND SINKER! We enjoyed watching it in 2014 (when it started). My husband read about it in a review and told me about it. Initially I didn’t think I’d like it but OMG!!! It was and still is a great series. Game of Thrones is a great one too. We started watching it this year. We never had time for it when we were working and I thought people were crazy for making such a big deal about it. Now… I’m one of those people. Love it!! So, you also have to check out House of Dragons!! WOW!! Just so great. I was laughing so hard when you mentioned OUTLANDER and how it took over your life. 😂 I get it. Loved it.
