  • What's up cousins?! I know it has been a while since I've uploaded to the channel so I wanted to start the year off with a little update as to why I abruptly stopped posting last year, what has been going on with me + goals I have going into 2021!
    NOTE: 80% of the products I threw away (over 50 total!) were expired; others, I have chosen to part ways with due to personal reasons/preferences and just haven't bothered to clean out my shelves in a VERY long time. I protective styled for the majority of 2020, so if you guys are interested in the products I used to maintain my protective styles, just check out my most recent videos!
    Two-Piece Set in the video is from www.glowactivewear.com BlackOwned). This set is "Ava" in a size "M"

    It feels SO good to saaaay: “WHATS UP COUSINS!?!?!???!!!!” 🌻🌻 I know it has been a WHILE! But I promise I explain pretty much everything in this video so make sure you watch the entire thing when you have time. Also, I was testing out a new wireless mic (for my yoga videos 🙌🏾😉) while filming this and a few time it snaps in and out as I move so just bare with me!
    I’ve DEFINITELY missed you guys! I have a lot planned for the year, but like I said... I’m not rushing myself. I’m EASING myself into 2021 with everything going on and if this is you as well, know that it is OK! I love y’all!! And even though it’s 13 days in... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 🥴🤣💕

      Whew! It’s neverrr easy. Up until this point I had only lost my grandfathers. And it was very much a thing we could somewhat “prepare” for. But this... I was telling Teej... this was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. A hurt I’ve never felt before. But I can feel her comforting me daily. Thank you cousin ❤️❤️

    Last year, an aunt on both sides of my family passed. As well as one of my cousins, and a few other extended family members. But at the end of the year, the last two weeks in fact, two people from the church I grew up in passed away and one of them was the age of my brother. Though I didn't have close relationships with any of them, it definitely made us take notice that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone and we must take time to spend with those we love even when something like the pandemic would suggest that you distance yourself from them. It was so weird attending a funeral that the husband of the deceased could not attend because he had tested positive for the virus.

    Hi Amber, it's good to see you again, it's been awhile and I don't think you're popping up in my feed for some reason, I had to go to my subscriptions to find you. I'm so sorry about your aunt, the way you described her makes me wish she had been my aunt. It's amazing how she taught you all to "not only know each other but to like each other"! That's powerful and could be a lesson for young mother's and any woman who wants to have a positive impact on others in the family. Thanks for deciding to be be present on the platforms you're already on bc honestly...ain't nobody got time for all those platforms...how can anybody live their own life when they all up in... nevermind, u know what I mean. Btw, love that outfit and you're looking good, ain't nothing wrong with your weight, if yoga did that for you...I'm here for it!

    • @FinallyAmber
      @FinallyAmber  3 роки тому +2

      Yes! We may feel like we’re born “lacking” in certain areas that “traditionally” are meant to be filled by certain people. For me, it was that true bond with my mother. But God has sent me so many “surrogate” mothers in the form of my aunt, my grandma, and other women who have surrounded me and fill in those gaps. Having that also allows me to keep my heart open for my actual mother in the meantime... knowing that God can do ALL things. I’m so glad you have that as well in your husband and son! God bless you!!! 💕🌻

      @@FinallyAmber in moments of sadness, overwhelming feelings and need to speak to her, SPEAK! out loud to her and pray afterwards, if you feel it take a nap. That energy and the spirit can shock you sometimes with physically releasing and what you get back afterwards. It could be a comforting dream, a phone call from a relative, you never know and the unexpected peace you receive from it.
