Sorry about the weird blur y’all! It’s not showing up in my youtube editor so there’s no way for me to delete it. I’ll keep working on it!😘
Thank you for letting us know! ❤️
Don't you worry about the blur, you have enough on your plate right now. It's nice to catch up with you have been wondering how you're doing lately. I'm so happy you're moving to Austin! And it sounds like a wonderful little place you found for you and Max. ❤️ Here's to making great memories in your new home. 🥂 You sound fantastic! I know it's rough. Having a broken heart is never easy. You never know when the emotions will hit. It's unpredictable. But it gets better. You learn coping skills as you go, the emotions back off, more time passes and new good memories are made. You're going to get through this girl. I promise you. It really sucks right now, but you're going to come out stronger and better than ever!! So proud of you and how you're growing and handling yourself right now. Thank you for taking the high road, and setting an example for women everywhere.
The Blur ends around 1:05 for me
This happened on another video I watched last week on another channel. It must be a UA-cam issue?
Oh my goodness you and XO_MaCenna are right by each other!!!!
I have never felt so sad for someone I didn't know in real life until these last few videos. I put myself in your shoes, and I was like, "how does one move on and get through this?" and my heart was really heavy! But you're doing it, man. Time with family, thrifting and antiquing, excitement about decorating your new place and living in your new neighborhood, dog cuddles, therapy, slapping on some makeup and washing your hair...you're hitting all the right notes.
Dont you just love her?! Ugh, she is perfect
So true
Right she’s so strong I don’t know how you did it 🤍 also that’s cute if it was your papa helping you wash you car in your previous video must be nice to have loving parents
The way your mom looks at you. You can just see how much she loves you 🧡
I went through a very terrible divorce when I was in my early 20’s it also wasn’t my choice. The divorce was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through, but as I look at it now, happily married for almost 30 years, I wouldn’t give up that experience, I learned a lot, grew up a lot and most importantly I have so much empathy and understanding for friends and family members and even strangers who are going through a hard time. I firmly believe “ time heals all wounds”❤️
Get the bee tattoo in Texas and cover the 2. best way to represent a newer season of life
Great idea !!
From one Texan to another...welcome home! Just wanted to give you a word of encouragement... Allow yourself to grieve and mourn. You need to experience the emotions and then move through them. But remember this...EVERY day is a new day...a clean slate...a day filled with hope and expectation. It is okay to be happy and joyfilled. One day at a time!!
It's hard to move on without the one you love especially when you don't want to move on, you don't want to do better without them, you don't want to experience life and joy and success without them, it's a torn feeling, but God is with you, I am continuing to pray for you 🙏
Michel, just wanted to say I'm so proud of you for doing the work of caring for yourself. Doing therapy, making the move, looking for cheer, feeling your feelings, recognizing grief. Sending hugs and prayers for beautiful things coming from all of the efforts 💕
Two things:
1) would highly recommend listening to the poem by Sarah Kay called “when love arrives” it’s a UA-cam video.
2) my therapist had me read New York times’ “why you won’t marry the right person” but when me and my partner ended our relationship and when I finally healed and began exploring new partners. I found it helpful :)
welcome back home girlfriend!! I need to make a trip down to Austin ASAP 😍❤️
I didn’t know you guys were friends. Your videos remind me of one another 🥰
We need to see a video of you guys together PLZ😍😍😍💓💓💓
I didn’t know you two knew each other. You’re both super sweet, I’m so happy your friends, you both compliment each other. God Bless the both of you ☺️
I'm not sure if you know of XOMECENNA, but she grew up in Bournie and is living there with her parents while she renovates her home in Comfort. She is an LA girl and loves thrifting in the same area you were! She is a ray of sunshine and both of your positivity could be fun for you to collab with!
Shannon, I was just going to suggest that Michel check MaCenna out! I just love her and think she and Michel would make great thrifting buddies.
Yess!! Hopefully they reach out!
Girl you are handling everything with such grace .
The way your mom looks at you is so sweet. I can see how big is her love for you. you are blessed.
You have a random blur spot in every clip so far! Just letting u know!
Your last few vlogs, grief radiated from you, with this one, your aura is warm again. You're healing ❤️ and it's amazing to witness! I can't wait to see how you decorate your space and come into your own ❤️
I love Texas Michel!! (Secretly always hoped you’d end up there… not the way it happened of course) I think you will find new parts of yourself!! I adore your parents in the vlogs, and Max looks so happy!! I know it’s a lot right now, but I think you will flourish there.🌷
Healing is not a straight line. Some days up, some down. Sometimes it can change hour to hour. I'm so happy you are starting over in a place that you really love!
Hi Michel, I just wanted to tell you that you are such a beautiful soul inside and out and I am insanely proud of how you are growing and moving forward. The breakdowns are necessary and soon things will be better than you could have imagined. I have been watching you since we got married around the same time, you gave me the courage to move to LA to pursue acting, you talking about your faith also got me back into mine and inspired me to attend Mosaic. I finally feel I have a community and place in a church. Thank you endlessly. 💕
This made my heart happy to know how much your family is there for you and that you’re really taking time for you!
It's normal. For me, I married as a teenager, widowed in my 40s. I still can't process I'm not a wife anymore. I still feel like a wife and was his wife my entire adult life. Marriage is lifelong work, working to fall in love with the same person over and over. When someone won't do that for even 5 years, sadly not who you can count on for life, have children count on, etc. and all deserve someone who will be that foundation unwavering without fail...and when that's not there, you show up for yourself without fail, building your own foundation.
I'm excited to watch you decorate your new space & walk your new path in life! It's good to see you staying positive! Also your mom is beautiful! Spending time with my mom is food for my soul. It's good you have her love & support during a difficult time.
Can I really just take a moment to tell you how proud I am of you! Your heart may remain heavy and you may continue to have bouts of sadness and continued highs and lows but you’re really moving forward so graciously. You should be so proud of you. But I’m also incredibly proud and wanted you to know you’re not alone!
It would be great if you could meet up with XO Macenna for a TX collab for sip and thrift!!
Yes!!
I was coming here to say that too!
Yes! I was thinking the same. Big MaCenna fan and it’s funny to see Michel hitting up some of these MaCenna thrift spots haha
I just have to say this since you always tell us this, "Michel I love you with my whole heart!". ❤️
Take one day at a time, some days will still be hard healing just takes time and you can look back and be proud of how you handled everything. Some days it will still hit you, different triggers but you do whatever works for you and keep your mind busy and talk to God, he’s the best therapist along with family and friends supporting you and loving you makes each step a little lighter. We all love you Michel, You got this! 🌹We love seeing you happy, whatever it is you’re doing, buying sharing you light up and enjoy time for YOU. Enjoy decorating doing things the way you love. Anyways, take care of yourself!xoxo 😘
We are all here for you! This is such a tough situation..I can’t relate but a piece of advice that has helped me was along the lines of you’ll never have to live this day again. No matter how bad it was, you’ll never have to do it again.
Also, a tip I learned when naming arrangements is to use floral wire or just any wire to help the flowers that droop!
Another side note..I love how excited and passionate you are about the items you buy!
Through all the sadness and grief that you're going thru I just wanted to say how lucky you are to have those two special souls called parents by your side! I wish you so much love and light and future happiness❤️
You should consider trying bullet journaling. It's a good combination of life organizing and thought organizing. I speak from experience it can help you keep moving and processing when trauma gets overwhelming. You've got this.
Hey Michel, Cathrin Manning went through similar life changes and she is THRIVING even more so now! You southern gals are strong whisky in teacups...Max and Fancy should go on a dog playdate. Hope your Austin move goes smoothly and as a long-time viewer I am so excited for major blessings coming your way! The best is yet to come. 💜🤗
Just went down that rabbit hole 🙃
Michel, I loved this vlog. Although I still see the grief you are experiencing, it was also good to see the excitement in your eyes for setting up your new apartment. And seeing a genuine smile on your face is always beautiful! You have your whole life ahead of you and you will do great things! So very glad you are keeping Max. Pets can be a great comfort in times of stress. Looking forward to seeing the new place!
Yay for good days! Grief is a funny thing and it’s so normal to feel guilty for being happy when you think you shouldn’t be. With time those happy moments will begin to outnumber the rough ones. BTW your mom is the absolute sweetest and she reminds me so much of my mom that it makes me happy every time she pops in the vlogs!
Awww...the puppy therapy!!! May and Max need a Vlog...
So good to see you finding things that are bringing you a little bit of joy! Praying for you as you unpack and make your new apartment feel like home.
1. Love the green glasses. 2. Really love that you talk about therapy. I have chronic and mental illnesses and therapy is so helpful. Finding a new therapist sucks (that's where I'm at now since I moved to a new town). But it'll be well worth the work
I love the glassware!
Dear Michel! Remember that everything happens for a reason, so be bold, spread your wings and enjoy life! There are so many great things waiting for you.❤👍👋
So happy to see this video! 💞 It made my day!
I feel like you and XO Macenna would be fabulous friends! You both are always so positive and I believe she is in the same area of Texas!
Yes I just said the same thing!

Wow Michel, Austin sounds really exciting - I’m so happy for you ❤️❤️❤️
It’s good to see you smile Michel! It was fun seeing you antiquing & hanging with your mom.🤗
I’m so happy to see you starting to find happiness in things again.
This must be so so hard for you, I don’t even know, but I got married two months after you and I can only imagine how I would feel in your situation.
You are so brave, so strong and so amazing! You are also a beautiful positive influence for so many people who have had to/will have to go through this almost unwillingly. There’s so much good to come for you Michel! Can’t wait to see your adventures in Texas. I love you!
Your amazing! And your doing the best you can and just know that I look up to you and love you and love your honesty always.

Was waiting for another video from you. It’s SO GOOD to see you happier and I can only see it going up from here! They say everything is bigger in Texas, and I believe that’ll be true for you too! The growth in the stage ahead will be liberating.
I enjoy watching your vlog good days or bad days. I'm sure it will be a rough year for you but enjoy the little things. It soon will get better. Love seeing you vintage shopping with your beautiful mom❤️
So happy to see you happy! Step by Step & Day by Day!!! Sending ❤️ from Charleston SC

You are so amazing Michel & so strong god has so many plans for you ❤️ Grieve as long as you need to Cry as much as you want to but never stop shining ☀️💕
So happy to see you finding points of joy and positivity. Excited to see you share about Austin-a place I have never been. You radiate!💫✨
Ahh what an awesome day w/your Mama 😊 Really hope she got that beautiful pot. Would be so great for a candle for sure. And hope you got that scoop. Would be gorgeous w/some rocks or glass w/some air plants in it. Such great finds! Glad to see you doing well 🙂
It’s been inspiring to see you seeking joy during your difficult season.
I love your mom 🥰 Moms are just so amazing and I’m glad you have her right now 💜
Those cute mustard flowers are called Billy Balls or Craspedia! They are such happy flowers!
Bienvenida a Tx! I love this version of you; very honest and pure but very adventurous and filled with new ideas! Also look fwd to new apartment decor.

What a fun trip with your mom! I love those gf biscuits and I never thought of making them into dumplings. Growing up chicken and dumplings was one of my favorite meals my mom would make me. I will have to ask her for recipe and make it. I’m so glad you excited to decorate your apartment and make into a nice space for yourself! You will have many good and bad days but your healing will take time and that’s ok. Hugs to you and wishing you peace and blessings! 💕🦋
