  • Good morning friends!! I hope everyone is doing well this Sunday morning! Today you will follow along with me for a full day of self care as I continue to process this last week with the election. Prior to this video I wasn't even sure if I was going to post anything this Sunday, but I'm so glad that I did because I'm really feeling so much better. I hope you guys enjoy this video and hopefully find it as relaxing as I did. I look forward to chatting with you guys down in the comments. Enjoy!!!

    Thank you Jessica for this. The intro was so calming and relaxing. I am feeling very discouraged and disappointed among other emotions. I’m thankful for you giving us this space to escape even for a few minutes.

      I'm right there with you!!! I'm trying to turn things around and thinking more positive but with so many things up in the air, we really just don't know. We'll get through it no matter what - cause that's what we do! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video - I really wanted it to be calm and relaxing so I love that you felt that.

    Jessica, thank you for the pottery segment in the video. You inspired me to take a pottery class, and I have . I’m currently doing hand built pottery but in January I’m going to begin the wheel. You are super on the wheel. Gangster in fact, I love seeing you doing the wheel. ❤

    First I want to thank you for this walk with nature, I really enjoyed it tremendously. I to have been struggling with the outcome of this election also. I just have this feeling that god wants to deal with him publicly for the world to see. He is shielding our sweet Kamala from harm's way. Until then my friend, keep yourself busy as I have been doing, we are going to be just fine. We are strong sisters 😍

    I prayed prior to the election results for God to take the wheel on this as I didn't know if we were going to have our madam president. I think that helped me tremendously else I don't know how I would've handled it. I continue to pray about it 🙏🏿💪🏿
    P.S. Love Tara's dome gold ring! Can she please share deets?

    • @jessicapayne
      @jessicapayne  2 місяці тому +2

      100% we are going to need lots and lots of prayer to get through these next many years. We're gonna get through it though!! I had a big dome ring on for dinner and it is from Jenny Bird and called Supernova. The large ring that Tara had on was from Caitlyn Minimalist and it's called the Bold Dome. Hope this helps!!!

    Thanks for such a relaxing video, Jessica! I have been so angry and disappointed by the election results. Last Thursday I started my first ever ceramics class (hand building) and wasn't sure I would feel up to learning something new. As soon as I started working with the clay I felt calm and at ease. There's so much work to do in this country, but finding moments of peace will fuel us through what lies ahead. We will get through this!

    Loved the nature walk. The election was indeed disappointing. On the positive side, while Kamala did not break the glass ceiling this time, we need to remember, she's already put a huge crack in it when she became the first female Vice President of the United States. I won't be surprised if we have not heard the last of her. She was so close, and I doubt she would give up due to this setback. Imagine if she had a full 2 years to campaign.

    I love the content minus anything about the election. I’m really confused why anyone thought that female would win. She ran a horrible campaign. It’s not because she’s a female, it’s because of her antics, the lying, the pandering, the different accents and just incompetence overall. The missing of the mark of bringing out I guess so called celebrities to speak for her. I mean the filth she brought to her rallies are not the humans I want my two granddaughters to see as role models. You all will be okay. Maybe the left will see the error of their ways and work on a better way for all people not just the ones they pander to. ❤

    • @jessicapayne
      @jessicapayne  2 місяці тому +2

      Man, I've really struggled with how to respond to your comment. Do you subscribe to my channel? Or did you just happen to find me for the first time? We can certainly have differences of opinions, but I struggle to find the kindness and empathy in your response. If we are going to work together to try and make this world a better place, we've got to stop with all this hate. I completely disagree with what you said, completely. I am so happy that we were all (including young people) able to witness and experience her campaign. And I am so deeply saddened (to the point that it brings tears to my eyes) that anyone could have watched a single moment of his campaign (along with people he brought on many stages) and felt that they are the true role models of this country. My mind simply can't wrap around that thought - and there lies the divide. How we will ever come together as a nation - I do not know. But what I do know is that in my little circle of the world, I'm going to spread as much love, and light, and kindness, and inspiration as I can - in spite of all the challenges that may come. So for all of the people who do not think or believe in what I do - I send you love anyway. You're right - we will all be okay, not because of seeing "the error of our ways" as you said, but because we truly want a nation, and will continue to work towards a nation that is truly fair, and just, and kind for ALL.
