Having clinical anxiety makes not worrying nearly impossible for me... but you're right in saying if I can't control it I shouldn't worry about it. I just wish it was easier to do.
Therapy has been super effective for me in learning the tools I need to mitigate worrying. Also, learning self-compassion and how to just let a thought be just a thought instead of giving it power.
This weekend I had a breakdown over a difficult breakup. Going to be playing this video on repeat. This video came exactly when I needed it. I'm so grateful for you and your wonderful way of thinking.
and goodness I worry about everything. 90% of it is my business. a good portion of it is money issues(never having enough for all our bills, rent AND food. sometimes I've got to pick and choose which to put money towards) and health issues.
Oh I remember when life was like that for us too! I am so sorry you are struggling and having to choose which necessities are most important ugh. You will make it through to better days! You are abundant! You are strong! You are resilient!
Copied from Reddit: She’s so full of it. She says it was hard to be sick and stay away from her family and her mom duties. She facetimed her kids instead of hanging out with them... but they were having movie nights together and putting together gift bags. It cannot have been that hard. I never took her for a liar but hey you learn something new every day.
God bless you Colette, I’ve been struggling with my faith a lot, literally including tonight, oh man it was not pretty, but this helped me so much. Sometimes I ask God for some blessings (like to make some of my dreams come true) and I know He promised me He would do it and I keep trying to be perfect when I know that’s His business, not mine. That tendency I have to try to live up to the sermon on the mount when I know I literally can’t. I love that you share your faith in the Lord. I know it can be a nasty world out there but you have no idea how much this helps those of us that do believe. May the Lord’s favor and grace gently cover you and your family for 2021 and beyond 🙏🏽❤️
The timing on this video was perfect. Today was one of the first times I've worried in a long time about something out of my control. I opened UA-cam and saw this video and just broke down crying. Thank you for this.
I struggle with worrying about things and it’s very unhealthy for me. I look at my husband and he can tell I’m having a bad day and he tells me honey. Have faith and everything will be fine. Even a warm hug helps me a lot. Thank you for this! Love your vlogs
Colette!!! This inspired me so much on how to navigate my pain and find meaning in it to grow as a person. You gave me so much peace. Thank you! I was having such a hopeless day mentally. Great timing. 🌼😊
Wow, just hearing your words made me feel more relaxed. Thank you for this. I am going to think of this every time I start to get anxious. It would be amazing to have a conversation with you about this and about faith because connecting with God is something else I struggle with. Keep being amazing
Beautifully said, Collette! I love how you so nicely put, "Mind your own business!" You are a wonderful person, a person who cares. Thanks for your pep talk, your words of wisdom.
I used to watch your family videos 10 years ago and I loved them all so much. All the kids and humor and how you just filmed yourselves while trying to get by when life was hard and eventually getting better over the years. You were the perfect imperfect family under stress who managed pull off, you were an inspiration and hope for so many people. I thought you standing on the right side of the history was something automatic, something given; something I would never ever have to think about. You even met with Spielberg (one of my most favorite directors) and he said his family is watching your vlogs, too! And now a decade later all we can see is a demolished family of pro-trumpers, dangerous people who don't take Covid seriously and who are all around just broken bunch of individuals trying to recreate some past days of glory without any grace and standing up for what is right. I feel like a huge chunk of my life was stolen from me, all the memories tainted, your family as an inspiration gone. I feel sorry for you, most importantly I feel sorry for the kids. I think Gavin is in the most serious trouble with all his hateful pro-trump conspiracy nonsense, but I think even Avia is slipping away and at this point I'm terrified to even check out on Emmi. I loved you all, I loved Shay, I loved you, Colette, and above of all I loved the idea of your family. It was never perfect, it was never completely honest (we all know how the UA-cam works), but it was... you being the good people. I have no power to take you back to those times and make you understand the dramatic change and shift many of your fans have experienced in the last few years, but I think at this point you don't even have that power by yourself anymore... and perhaps that is the most heartbreaking thing of it all. I'm sorry, Colette. I know your dream is gone, but it is still worth it to try to do the right thing. It doesn't mean to go back and never change anything. To pretend to be the same people like from a decade ago. It is about growing up with grace, to mature and comprehend sometimes you were wrong about something or that you have failed and that it is okay. Nobody likes to lose. But doubling down as a loser is something what people dislike even more. I will never forget your vlogs from 2014-15. They were the highlights of my life, perhaps your family also being the happiest and most stable as ever. I wish I could do something to get you all back to those times. I wish I could show you the Shaytards from that time would try to help the Shaytards today. I wish my words would somehow reach to you all, instead of being just another 3-paragraph long comment full of hate as you probably perceive it. I'm so sorry. I just loved you all so much. And now there's almost nothing left. I'm sorry.
Collette, You are an inspiration. People are going through similar things that you have gone through and or continue going through. Your words help people like me... everything you say I take and use in my life. Thank you for coming back in your own time, and sharing your strength. Love, Kandi Conery ~ Milford, NH
God has perfect timing. I needed to hear this. My stomach is in knots and full of worry. My son is being sent to Washington DC for the army, his daughter( my granddaughter is leaving to go back home to be with her mom and moving. And my little 1 year old grandson is going to children's hosp to be looked at for nerve issue behind his eye. And my mother is declining with dementia. It's alot to be honest. I turn it over to God but find myself taking it right back. Fear and worry suck
I love you so much, you're such a strong woman. I'm a man, and you've been my biggest inspiration from 10 years ago. I love your demeanor, and you inspire me to push for greatness and nothing less
I lost my daddy my preacher and my dog in 2020. We had covid for christmas and then my mom had to go to the er and i panicked shes all us girls have left! Its been so stressful and i feel like i have ptsd all over again from losing so much so fast. Im so thankful God stays with me
i’m emotional watching this. colette i’ve watched you for 7 years, which were the most important to me because i was like age 11-18 so i was growing up. i’m now 18 and my parents moved away, and now i live by myself in my hometown and i’m really going through it... i took a year off of school and i’m in a situation that i feel i’m stuck in. as soon as i saw this video i cried, and your voice was so familiar to me and comforting. i really appreciate you every since day.
Colette, I admire your spirit in posting these videos. It takes courage and serenity to post such raw videos talking about such real things. Thank you for how you encourage!
Thank you Katilette for those words because this very topic is the hardest for me.I have been in recovery since 8/23/2003 and it has always been a constant topic between my husband and myself( He is also in recovery). He has found the answer and has tried to help me and just when I think I can do it something in my brain says NOPE.
Ok I just want to say, this video meant so much! I was having trouble sleeping this night and I had UA-cam playing on my TV and seriously, this video played when I woke up in the middle of the night! You’re amazing Colette!❤️
Very good advice . I know it’s not easy! I always say that what others think of us is not our business nor our problems. Those that chose to put others down are only doing so because they don’t feel at peace
Byron Katie wrote a book called “loving what is” and she talks about this concept of paying attention to whose business you are in, and she presents a few questions you can use to question any painful thoughts you have about yourself, the world, others, anything. She also has videos on UA-cam that you might like. Thank you for your video and thoughts, watching them is like getting a hug.
Thank you so much for reminding me of Byron Katie. Her books are on my wishlist and I think it may be time to go ahead and get this one. Much love to you ❤️
You're right. Faith might not be something that everyone knows or believes in but this is your video, beautiful. And you can talk about whatever you want. And people can choose to watch or not watch. I love you and your family so much. You all bring me so much joy. ❤️❤️❤️
I never comment on any videos that I watch, but your videos are so profound and you seem to be able to put across all my thoughts and feelings in such an eloquent way! Thank you Colette! you sweet soul
This was the main lesson I learned in the year 2020. And I vow to move forward with this saying. Love u Colette and Family!! Xoxo from the Caribbean island Trinidad
hmm... loved that. Thank you. You have been a prominent motherly figure in my life since 2009ish I think - Don't know why I came back here today, but Thank you for sharing. A perfect example of working with what you can control. Your actions, examples, and choices over the last decade have made a difference in may people's lives. even for a moment! hugs and respect to you.
This nis perfect timing because OI have been feeling very worried and stressed out lately, mostly worried about things that have been happening at home and in the world in general
I moved to the states for college when I was 16 and I've been watching the shaytards since then, I don't exactly know what drawn me into them but it could be the realness and the beauty of the day to day family life when you're away from home. Colette always inspire me in always being kind and loving and staying real. I'm 29 now, I've moved to 2 other countries since graduating from college in the US. Watching this makes me feel like I've witnessed Colette's words as her own testimony. I know nothing is as pretty as we see on screen but I'm constantly inspired by her being true to self and always choosing to see the light in the darkness. 🧡
I keep having anxiety attacks lately over worrying while struggling and I really needed to hear this. You’ve helped me through so much growing up and now to this day. Thank you for putting words into my head that I need to hear that I can’t even tell myself in the moment. ❤️
Hope you start to feel better soon Colette! Praying for you and your parents! I noticed in the videos you rarely wear your mask over your nose in public, I really hope you start to, to protect others. Love and light!
Hello from Ohio. Thank you for this. I tell this to all that will listen. God will help you thru. Give your worries to him. He CAN help. I know. He gives you the strength to get you thru.
I hear this loud and clear. I, too, have had to learn to set my feelings aside on things the past couple years. I have lost both of my parents in a short time and both of them I spent alot of time worrying and trying to make them do what I felt needed to be done to save them. In the end, I couldnt make them do anything. I realized all that worry was for nothing. I couldn't control it. As for peoples opinions and hateful comments? We all weather them as well although not as much as you, living in the public eye. Everyone had an opinion on how I raised my daughter. I should do this, not that, etc. Now that she is 20 and is a well adjusted, loving, productive member of society... they only have kind words to say about her. All I can say is haters gonna hate... do what is right for you and your situation. They dont live your everyday life. YOU DO. Much love.
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been blessed with several months of emotional peace (compared to the past many years of severe heartache, stress, and anxiety.) However, lately with all the fear other people have...it starts too creep in when they speak to me about all the fear they have with rumors they hear (along with the truths they hear) . All I want to do to is tell them just to stop fearing and find that peace. But I think it is really important to just step aside from that and relax back in my peace that I’ve been given. And I’m learning that it is ok to do so and not to have guilt about it. Today was the 6th anniversary of my son’s death. Normally, today is the worst day of the year for me. However, for the first time it was a good day. I’m so grateful that God has given me rest from my worries. Thank you for sharing your faith and thoughts with us. It makes a difference to many of us.
Tysm for this ❤️ You’ve been through so much but your strength and resilience is the most inspiring. I can imagine you leading a mindfulness meditation class someday- your calm energy reminds me of my teacher! Sending love 💞
Collette It's been years since I've watched the Shaytard Channel just today I went back to it to see how things were I can tell a lot has changed some bad and some good saw that on that channel you haven't posted in over a year which is fine people need time off UA-cam it's just life I just want to say no matter what goes on in life if you have a bit of Hope and Faith things will get better
Thank you for this video. I wish I had watched it earlier yesterday before I headed down the anxiety path. I will try to keep this in mind going forward.
I seriously needed to hear this. Been feeling extra suicidal lately.. hate to admit that but it's true. I feel like I've lost myself, hopefully these horrible feelings can fuck off someday.. Anyways, thanks so much Collette, you've helped me for so many years now, you and your family, thank you so much.
I’ve looked up to you from a very young age, and I thank you! I’m now 17, and I can still turn to these videos for guidance. You are appreciated ♥️ much love!
This is perfect timing. I've been worrying and filled with anxiety so much lately, especially as I am about to embark on my last year of high school, and have been worrying about everything and anything. However, I realised I just have to narrow my focus away from little things and other people's problems and focus on myself and what I can do best in 2021 (and confront whatever hurdles when/if they occur, and to stop worrying about what they could be). ❤ I am not one to comment often, so thank you Colette. I used to watch you guys every day when I was a little kid in primary school and to think I am now on my last year of high school is absolutely crazy (+ scary! I cant wrap my head around it!) - but I needed this reminder, and I think I may have found some peace in some of my worries.
Oh my sweet internet mom... thank you. Thank you for these sweet words, that have reached me during the middle of the night, while I am currently consumed with anxiety and worry. Thank you. You are such a light, Collette. I absolutely needed this. Watching you for the last 10 years has been an absolute blessing, and if it weren’t for you or your family’s example, I very well wouldn’t be here anymore. So thank you, from the deepest parts of my heart and soul. ♥️
Very sad world we are living in right now . We can only hope people start making better choices . I have no immune system so I haven’t been anywhere in almost a year . And I don’t see that changing anytime soon . My Dr asked me if I was ok and I told her I am settled in and it really doesn’t matter if I go out anywhere any time soon . The only thing I really hate is no Christmas this year . I hope everyone stays safe and make good choices .
Thank You - I worry all the Time - about everything - to the point that I wish I had a button to turn off my mind - who else has been their - O Think You - Yes I believe in Heavenly Father - I trust Him - But still that little voice comes - What do you do ? Love you covered this topic - Love the message - Great Talk - Thank You Colette
Oh bless you for sharing this Colette. I just recently started on my “faith crisis” journey which has been eye opening & freeing for me but crushing to my still believing husband. I can not control the way he sees things & vice versa. This is going to be a very hard time but I am hopeful we can get through this. We have already been through so much.
Collette, I just want to say that I truly appreciate you and how you have a way of speaking about your faith that does not feel intrusive or pressuring. The #1 thing that has pushed me far far away from religion, is religious people. So it's refreshing to hear someone who I know is a good person, speak of concepts taught in their religion, without shaming people and spreading hatred. Thank you for that! ☺️
What a wonderfully thoughtful person you are, Colette. Everything you said is fundamentally true - Happiness can never be reliant on things you cannot control.
I’m so grateful to have been a subscriber and follower for so many years. You are such an inspiration and I can tell you have poured so much love and growth into yourself. You are amazing!
Really needed this reminder! My fiance and I are getting over covid and it's just taking over my thoughts and mind, worrying about us, our family, the world, the future, and what a lovely reminder that all of it is God's business and I need to let go of it! 💖💖✌️
Wow, thank you Colette! I really needed to hear this today. I told my best friend that I’m currently (due to Covid and our differences) don’t feel like best friends and that I need some time for myself. But for the last few weeks I’m constantly worrying about how she might feel about me or tell others about my actions. But you are right, its not my business how she feels. It’s scary to let go and see whatever happens, but its not my business ❤️!
dont be afraid about opening up about your life, I will not judge you, I think you are very brave and I've learnt so much from you. Your best videos are we you are totally real and not tryin to be perfect. Just real.
Thank you! This is such a needed a timely message! So much we could be worried about but it’s a choice and worry doesn’t have to control us. Love this!
I and I’m sure many are in need of this tHIS right now. Thank You Collette for these words... You speak so gracefully and are adored by so many! I am great full for this video. 😘❤️🌹 god bless us all and keep us all safe from any harm. 🙏🏼
I love this video, thank you. Its so relevant. Unfortunately my grandad passed of covid this week, and it could have been so easy for me to blame others, especially those who may not think the same way as me... But what's the point? I can't control or change what's happened and it would be a waste of my time if I did. I have to grieve and be grateful for the time I spent appreciating my grandad while he was here. ❤️
I love your quirkiness so so much but I absolutely loved just listening to you being so sincere and real. I think you are an amazing person and I wish you all the very best in life. You are so loved and valued by so many people. Please believe that. It's true. Xx
You are a very evolved soul. It’s clear you’ve been through a lot and grown from it and done much personal growth. Love you ❤️
Love you too! I appreciate what you said, truly thank you.
Perfect timing. I’m literally having a breakdown right now. Thank you for posting this. ❤️
🤍
Oh no! Just breath... it's going to be ok you were guided here!
Same
Glad I’m not alone 😌
I'm so sorry. It will be OK! if you want to vent to me feel free to leave me a message. ❤️
Having clinical anxiety makes not worrying nearly impossible for me... but you're right in saying if I can't control it I shouldn't worry about it. I just wish it was easier to do.
Therapy has been super effective for me in learning the tools I need to mitigate worrying. Also, learning self-compassion and how to just let a thought be just a thought instead of giving it power.
This weekend I had a breakdown over a difficult breakup. Going to be playing this video on repeat. This video came exactly when I needed it. I'm so grateful for you and your wonderful way of thinking.
The cadence and delivery combined with the editing makes this video sincere and effective.
Agreed!!!
For the past few months all I’ve been doing is wake up, worry, go to sleep. I’m getting really tired and just want to rest at this point
same
The way I look forward to these videos ugh. I love this channel so much 😩
Thank you so much!

YOU.NICE.LADY.
and goodness I worry about everything. 90% of it is my business. a good portion of it is money issues(never having enough for all our bills, rent AND food. sometimes I've got to pick and choose which to put money towards) and health issues.
Oh I remember when life was like that for us too! I am so sorry you are struggling and having to choose which necessities are most important ugh. You will make it through to better days! You are abundant! You are strong! You are resilient!
I really needed this, of late my anxiety has been out of control I’ve never experienced breakdowns till of recent. It’s tough

I understand, I have been there, you are resilient you are strong!
I'm in deep pain right now. I needed this. Thank you! 💔
The timing on this video was perfect. Today was one of the first times I've worried in a long time about something out of my control. I opened UA-cam and saw this video and just broke down crying. Thank you for this.
There are 5 principles in Reiki - one is Just for today, I will not worry and it was my biggest struggle up until this past year! Love your wisdom!
This hit hard and really felt what you said. Got me teary eyed. Ty for sharing! You are literally the mom of the youtube 🥰💙🙏🏽

You are absolutely right. There are only some things we can fix or change. If we can't fix it or change it, then we need to pray about it.

"I don't have to believe it".... That's awesome. Les Brown's former teacher said: "Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality".
Watching this while preparing for my next semester in college. Thank you 💜

Great reminders. You'd be great as a therapist or life coach ♡
This nis perfect timing because OI have been feeling very worried and stressed out lately, mostly worried about things that have been happening at home and in the world in general
Thank you Colette. This types of videos from you always help because I can see that the words come from humility and kindness. Much love.
I moved to the states for college when I was 16 and I've been watching the shaytards since then, I don't exactly know what drawn me into them but it could be the realness and the beauty of the day to day family life when you're away from home. Colette always inspire me in always being kind and loving and staying real. I'm 29 now, I've moved to 2 other countries since graduating from college in the US. Watching this makes me feel like I've witnessed Colette's words as her own testimony. I know nothing is as pretty as we see on screen but I'm constantly inspired by her being true to self and always choosing to see the light in the darkness. 🧡
You are such a light in this world ✨ Thank you for sharing your insights with us. They are spot on.
Sometimes divorce is the right answer.
I love you! I don't believe in God but there is so much truth in what you're saying! You're such an inspirational lady! 🥰
I keep having anxiety attacks lately over worrying while struggling and I really needed to hear this. You’ve helped me through so much growing up and now to this day. Thank you for putting words into my head that I need to hear that I can’t even tell myself in the moment. ❤️
Hope you start to feel better soon Colette! Praying for you and your parents! I noticed in the videos you rarely wear your mask over your nose in public, I really hope you start to, to protect others. Love and light!
You put this very well, thank you so much for making these videos! It is so refreshing to hear someone just be real right now. All the best x
Thank you again for sharing. For always encouraging others with your caring words.
Hello from Ohio. Thank you for this. I tell this to all that will listen. God will help you thru. Give your worries to him. He CAN help. I know. He gives you the strength to get you thru.
Hope you feel better soon, I know someone that caught the cold this year too
I hear this loud and clear. I, too, have had to learn to set my feelings aside on things the past couple years. I have lost both of my parents in a short time and both of them I spent alot of time worrying and trying to make them do what I felt needed to be done to save them. In the end, I couldnt make them do anything. I realized all that worry was for nothing. I couldn't control it.
As for peoples opinions and hateful comments? We all weather them as well although not as much as you, living in the public eye. Everyone had an opinion on how I raised my daughter. I should do this, not that, etc. Now that she is 20 and is a well adjusted, loving, productive member of society... they only have kind words to say about her. All I can say is haters gonna hate... do what is right for you and your situation. They dont live your everyday life. YOU DO. Much love.
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been blessed with several months of emotional peace (compared to the past many years of severe heartache, stress, and anxiety.) However, lately with all the fear other people have...it starts too creep in when they speak to me about all the fear they have with rumors they hear (along with the truths they hear) . All I want to do to is tell them just to stop fearing and find that peace. But I think it is really important to just step aside from that and relax back in my peace that I’ve been given. And I’m learning that it is ok to do so and not to have guilt about it.
Today was the 6th anniversary of my son’s death. Normally, today is the worst day of the year for me. However, for the first time it was a good day. I’m so grateful that God has given me rest from my worries.
Thank you for sharing your faith and thoughts with us. It makes a difference to many of us.
THANK YOU 💕 I REALLY needed this.
Tysm for this ❤️ You’ve been through so much but your strength and resilience is the most inspiring. I can imagine you leading a mindfulness meditation class someday- your calm energy reminds me of my teacher! Sending love 💞
Collette It's been years since I've watched the Shaytard Channel just today I went back to it to see how things were I can tell a lot has changed some bad and some good saw that on that channel you haven't posted in over a year which is fine people need time off UA-cam it's just life
I just want to say no matter what goes on in life if you have a bit of Hope and Faith things will get better
Thank you for this video. I wish I had watched it earlier yesterday before I headed down the anxiety path. I will try to keep this in mind going forward.
Stay Strong Everyone, you can do it!💪🏻💪🏼💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿
thank you, blessings to everyone 💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much, and you can do it too. ❤️
I seriously needed to hear this. Been feeling extra suicidal lately.. hate to admit that but it's true. I feel like I've lost myself, hopefully these horrible feelings can fuck off someday.. Anyways, thanks so much Collette, you've helped me for so many years now, you and your family, thank you so much.
I’ve looked up to you from a very young age, and I thank you! I’m now 17, and I can still turn to these videos for guidance. You are appreciated ♥️ much love!
Sounds like what I call " getting on your own team"
This is perfect timing. I've been worrying and filled with anxiety so much lately, especially as I am about to embark on my last year of high school, and have been worrying about everything and anything. However, I realised I just have to narrow my focus away from little things and other people's problems and focus on myself and what I can do best in 2021 (and confront whatever hurdles when/if they occur, and to stop worrying about what they could be). ❤ I am not one to comment often, so thank you Colette. I used to watch you guys every day when I was a little kid in primary school and to think I am now on my last year of high school is absolutely crazy (+ scary! I cant wrap my head around it!) - but I needed this reminder, and I think I may have found some peace in some of my worries.
Oh my sweet internet mom... thank you. Thank you for these sweet words, that have reached me during the middle of the night, while I am currently consumed with anxiety and worry. Thank you. You are such a light, Collette. I absolutely needed this. Watching you for the last 10 years has been an absolute blessing, and if it weren’t for you or your family’s example, I very well wouldn’t be here anymore. So thank you, from the deepest parts of my heart and soul. ♥️
Very sad world we are living in right now . We can only hope people start making better choices . I have no immune system so I haven’t been anywhere in almost a year . And I don’t see that changing anytime soon . My Dr asked me if I was ok and I told her I am settled in and it really doesn’t matter if I go out anywhere any time soon . The only thing I really hate is no Christmas this year . I hope everyone stays safe and make good choices .
Thank You - I worry all the Time - about everything - to the point that I wish I had a button to turn off my mind - who else has been their - O Think You - Yes I believe in Heavenly Father - I trust Him - But still that little voice comes - What do you do ? Love you covered this topic - Love the message - Great Talk - Thank You Colette
Thank you for sharing this. ❤️
I have been trying to remember myself a lot lately to leave it in Gods hands ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing this! It really resonates.
I love you so much!! So well-spoken and strong. Thank you for sharing this.
Such good advice , but if someone is getting hurt or harmed especially , children, animals & elderly.. just be kind🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Oh bless you for sharing this Colette. I just recently started on my “faith crisis” journey which has been eye opening & freeing for me but crushing to my still believing husband. I can not control the way he sees things & vice versa. This is going to be a very hard time but I am hopeful we can get through this. We have already been through so much.
You are so beautiful,strong and I love you so much. You have helped me so much and I have watched you for so long. Thank you for helping me 💖
Collette, I just want to say that I truly appreciate you and how you have a way of speaking about your faith that does not feel intrusive or pressuring. The #1 thing that has pushed me far far away from religion, is religious people. So it's refreshing to hear someone who I know is a good person, speak of concepts taught in their religion, without shaming people and spreading hatred. Thank you for that! ☺️
What a wonderfully thoughtful person you are, Colette. Everything you said is fundamentally true - Happiness can never be reliant on things you cannot control.
Write a book Colette ! Your words provide genuine comfort
I’m so grateful to have been a subscriber and follower for so many years. You are such an inspiration and I can tell you have poured so much love and growth into yourself. You are amazing!
This is very helpful. Thank you ❤️
Really needed this reminder! My fiance and I are getting over covid and it's just taking over my thoughts and mind, worrying about us, our family, the world, the future, and what a lovely reminder that all of it is God's business and I need to let go of it! 💖💖✌️
Thank you for this Collette. I wrote everything down this was such helpful advice for where I am at in my life right now. Love you!
We love you Kati!!!!!
Wow, thank you Colette! I really needed to hear this today. I told my best friend that I’m currently (due to Covid and our differences) don’t feel like best friends and that I need some time for myself. But for the last few weeks I’m constantly worrying about how she might feel about me or tell others about my actions. But you are right, its not my business how she feels. It’s scary to let go and see whatever happens, but its not my business ❤️!
Love how you talk with your heart and love how you’re such a genuine spirit! ✨✨
Well said! You are truly an inspiration to a lot of people 🙏❤️🙏🙂
dont be afraid about opening up about your life, I will not judge you, I think you are very brave and I've learnt so much from you. Your best videos are we you are totally real and not tryin to be perfect. Just real.
Thank you! This is such a needed a timely message! So much we could be worried about but it’s a choice and worry doesn’t have to control us. Love this!
I and I’m sure many are in need of this tHIS right now. Thank You Collette for these words... You speak so gracefully and are adored by so many! I am great full for this video. 😘❤️🌹 god bless us all and keep us all safe from any harm. 🙏🏼
I am so proud of you. I needed this reminder.
PS, I am an atheist but you always remind me to let go. Thanks for being a role model.
I love this video, thank you. Its so relevant. Unfortunately my grandad passed of covid this week, and it could have been so easy for me to blame others, especially those who may not think the same way as me... But what's the point? I can't control or change what's happened and it would be a waste of my time if I did. I have to grieve and be grateful for the time I spent appreciating my grandad while he was here. ❤️
I love your quirkiness so so much but I absolutely loved just listening to you being so sincere and real. I think you are an amazing person and I wish you all the very best in life. You are so loved and valued by so many people. Please believe that. It's true. Xx
You’re a sweetheart, Colette bless you ❤️
This is such a helpful reminder, thank you Colette :)
