This vlog was so fun to watch! I absolutely love the idea of speaking to authors about THEMSELVES, what makes them unique - I completely agree with the importance of that! Also love the idea of book cover as cards. So glad you were able to get your infusion - hope you’re having a happy healthy week!
Thank you Nicole! I needed this lovely boost today. That thank you card was a great idea and I hope others run with it. Thank you for watching and have an amazing week!
The sponsorship sounds so amazing! I'm so happy for you. Oh how sweet of Lisa Fipps to send you those gifts. Sounds like you have a lot going on. Lol, gas station glasses. Yay for all your words!! You are amazing to stay on track with your goals while dealing with your health issues. Thanks for sharing your journey!
That sponsorship sounds so interesting, I didn't even know there were sponsorships like that. I'm so happy for you and I'm glad you were able to get back on your infusion treatments. That gift was nice and I definitely learn more and more about author branding every time I watch a video of yours. You and Rocky are a hoot! You are so amazing at balancing your health with content creation. Always in awe of you and supporting you! 💕
So glad you're back on your infusion treatments! Do like Lisa's Branded thank you cards. Very cute. Thanks for keeping us updated on the sponsorship opportunity. It'll be interesting to see where that goes. Take care of yourself and have a wonderful week!
I love watching these vlogs, and loving all the updates. The starfish greeting card is an amazing idea! I'm so pinching that one. I so agree about talking to authors about themselves, what struggles they have faced in their life and what that brings to their writing. Love a good nap, you totally deserve them!
You're going places, Barret. Congratulations! ♥️♥️♥️ You deserved it! And the way you are so giving with your guests authors is very special. Success for all is my wish.
I loved everything about that vlog. I learn so much from you. That I hope to add to my vlogs. I love being behind your shoulder as you cohost streams. I particularly loved the ride view to the infusion center. Wishing you all on the success on your new adventure. I know you will do great. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Enuel. I’m still on bed rest from a reaction to this new medicine which is why I still have been laying low. I can’t wait for us to find our collab. That way instead of over my shoulder you can be love with me! 💜 stay well my friend.
@@BarrettLaurieyou need take care of you that is way more important at this moment. I know you havent forgotten about our collab. There is plenty of time for that my friend. Get well soon and sending you all the good vibes and prayers.
Hopefully the partnership works well. That sounds like a great opportunity. You're doing a fantastic job with everything you're balancing and the health care battles. Thank you for sharing. There's nothing wrong with slowing down when energy runs low.
Hey my friend. I agree, slowing down when my tank gets empty is okay. The whole hustle until you drop thing isn’t for me. At least not anymore. Too many naps to be had! 🤣 I heart you my friend. Stay well and I can’t wait for your next video!
This was a fun unboxing and I'm know Lisa Fipps appreciated your interview. You cheered her up and cheered her on for telling her story. I know that whatever sponsorship opportunity you get involved in will be a wonderful way to share your positivity and support.
Glad you got your treatment, and the words will even out in the coming months. I've found goals are more guidelines than hard and fast rules. They keep you on track but need to be flexible.
This was an excellent Vlog and I loved all the content. Looking forward to hear more about the sponsorship. I enjoyed the outdoor scenery. I totally get the good benedryl although now I get to have it in pill form now. I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself and am taking it slow and steady. I wanted to be much further than where I am, but I know once I get the infusion it will get better.
You know about the crap gap better than most! I hope you’re feeling okay by the by. I’ll keep you posted on it. I did agree to the terms today and am awaiting my contract. So that’s exciting. I will keep you in mind as they might be looking for patients with other conditions. Hope you and the family are well! Traveling and seeing all the things before settling down in Texas!
Really exciting for that sponsorship process and rooting it gifts you various opportunities! And you're a true example of knowing one's limits when physically exhausted but still getting essential things done that will in the end yield desired outcomes.
You and your partner are so adorable! I love how excited you were about your Starfish package. Thank goodness you're able to resume your treatments!💜 I got picked for AMM so I'm going to be neck deep in revision all year.
Thank you! Weren’t those gifts great! The thank you card I’m using that idea for sure. I know I missed some after work streams this week while I’m on bed rest. I’ll do some work to the replays today! 💜
Getting caught up! I am so behind with AuthorTube right now. I'm trying to get all the words in my current project right now and it's just like pulling teeth. I think it's because the last book went so well and I also am dealing with the new job, but we'll get there! I love the idea of talking to authors about their experiences and how it's come to shape not only them as a person but their stories as well. Some of my experiences have definitely done this in a major way. That snow we had was nasty! Ice all over the place. Stay safe!
Rachel that’s way more important than AuthorTube! You never worry about missing videos here or there. I end up producing two a week. Come hang when you can and no worries when you can’t. I’m so sending you good energy for your current project. I had a short story that felt like pulling teeth. On paper it was easy but the execution proved more difficult than I anticipated. You stay safe and warm out there and I hope the new job is going well!
There is only one cup and it is Starfish! Love your vlogs! Still have you in my thoughts. I hope you are doing better and will continue to get better. ❤️
Interesting about the sponsorship possibility and yay for getting the infusion! I hope things start to improve for you, though I know its not the same drug, crossing fingers for you!
17.8K is A LOT #NoWordsLeftBehind, You should be proud of yourself because #NotYouToo2022 is really after you. If you need, I volunteer as tribute. I am still finishing the final draft of Blue Water but I think I can still launch on Feb 12... 🤞🏼
I’m so proud of you Mama Magie! You are crushing the publishing game. You put the lific in prolific! I love ya more than cinnamon buns and key lime pie! 💜
Interesting--when you vlog like you did with the sponsorship meeting, does it perform the same kind of function as a journal? Clarify thoughts, memorialize evolving attitude? Hmm...
Sympathies. We have similar dastardly weather where I am. I can't presume to know what meds you've tried in the past, but has your doc ever murmured to you about Cymbalta or Lyrica in conjunction with your maintenance meds for pain control / functionality? I as because the trend away from heavy-duty narcotics a few years back was a nice surprise, and while my sincere hope is that your insurance folks quit being buttfaces on ya, Cymbalta in particular has helped multiple chronic pain sufferers I know feel so good it scares'm, and having as many options as possible sometime helps me
Hey Martha. Thoughts and prayers on the weather. We’re ready for the thaw! I will ask my doc about them. I have heard of them, but have not tried them. I am lucky enough to have the rarest of the 5 types of Crohn’s disease. When I was feeling special for most of my life, this isn’t what I had in mind. As far as I know Remicade is the only FDA approved drug for my type of Crohn’s, but believe me I’m open to all the things. I heart you friend. Once I get off of the bed rest thing I’m so ready for our collab!

It was sweet. Been thinking about you and yours. Hope your dad is on the mend and I’ll reach out again this week to check in on you.

Hi Rick! Thank you for all you do for our lovely Barrett. You are the hero behind the scenes and are loved and appreciated.
He is a superstar. I will make sure he sees this. We love you mama Magie! 💜

Thank you. What a past few weeks. Makes me appreciate the access I have when I have it.

Thank you my friend. I think for YA and MG books especially the thank you cards are a great idea.
PS - I’m pinching the term “pinching.” 💜
You're going places, Barret. Congratulations! ♥️♥️♥️ You deserved it! And the way you are so giving with your guests authors is very special. Success for all is my wish.
Thank you so much for this lovely note Liv!! 💜

And also, huge congratulations on reaching 700 subs! ^_^
How exciting to be able to share your journey with your chronic illness. I’m happy you were able to get your transfusion these blogs are amazing. ❤️
Thank Lauren. Been a rough start to the year. 💜 But I have had some lovely baths thanks to you and read a lot. 💜
Hopefully the partnership works well. That sounds like a great opportunity.

THank you Ben! I can't wait for you to guest host CGL for the first time tomorrow! Hope this is the first of many appearances.
@@BarrettLaurie I can't wait. It's going to be a fun Thursday night.
I love watching the driving in the wintry mix because it is worry-free! I know you both made it back, lol
We made it. There were some eye rolls occasionally but we made it!
Glad you got your treatment, and the words will even out in the coming months. I've found goals are more guidelines than hard and fast rules. They keep you on track but need to be flexible.
I like that. The goals are guidelines. That I think is the key to giving my self some grace there.

I got picked for AMM so I'm going to be neck deep in revision all year.
CONGRATS!! That is SO amazing! I’m so proud of you. If there is anything I can do please don’t hesitate to ask! So major!!
@@BarrettLaurie Thank you so much!
Congrats on the sponsorship! Sounds like an amazing opportunity:) and omg that thank you card and gifts were so cute:)

Congratulations on your upcoming interviews. What a sweet gift. I Love the📕bookcover card and mug.
Thanks Dee! Bring me another vlog soon! I love your vlogs too! 💜
@@BarrettLaurie Thank you! I’m thinking about doing a live Vlog today because I didn’t get my usual recorded video together in advance. Lol
Glad you got the meds you need... America REALLY needs to get its act together!
You are SO right Goddess! This healthcare situation is bananas. Heart you!
There is only one cup and it is Starfish!
Love your vlogs!
Still have you in my thoughts. I hope you are doing better and will continue to get better. ❤️
I knew about the bookplates but the book cover greeting cards are new--genius!!
Right!! I thought the same thing.
I know I love it. Especially for kid lit!

Congrats on the sponsorship. That sounds like an ideal scenario for a spoonie!
Thank you and it is. I hope you’re feeling healthy and well. 💜

Oh I voice memo all business meetings and store them in the cloud for at least one year. It’s a weird me thing.
