I don't know how much I believe in ghosts, but it is apparently very common to hear ghost drums of Native American tribes at night if you live on ancient Native American settlement areas.
Girl I’m so serious you need to look up the history of your property, ghost adventures basics say your house is built on some plot of ancient tribal land 😭😭😭
Colleen, I am also a mother of twins and I understand you perfectly and your feelings are completely natural. I know it feels so horrible in the moment and you feel helpless but it’s something that eventually happens to all of us twin parents, and sometimes it’s better to try to distance yourself from the situation with your kids and try to calm them down in private. When I see a child throwing a tantrum in a store or anywhere really I try to let the parent know that they are fine and it’s normal and to not feel embarrassed. I too cannot calm down both my twins in similar moments. You are only one, they are two of the same age with similar needs and you are doing great, you are! I am proud of you and every mother out there who loves their kids and does everything they can for their sake. You are stronger than you know!❤
That is so spooky! Also wild that Wes looks towards the orb like spots just as they come into frame as he’s telling you what he hears!!
Yes, I noticed that too! So scary.
That dress looks like the same dress safiya nygaard did a deep dive on
as someone who worked in daycare for many many years.. i'd really hope to hear that one of the teachers present was trying to help you out with the kids. teachers see behavior like that ALL THE TIME and i've spent many mornings helping to distract a child and detach them from moms hip.. BUT those parents would also have to just walk away and get in their car and leave, and their kids ALWAYS would eventually calm down (some immediately, some after a bit of fussing).. i couldn't imagine what the solution would be if you're still there in the class other than just taking them home and leaving but that isn't ideal either
I had a bad experience in a church daycare before. I had been the daycare provider in our previous church and I had started while pregnant with my son so my toddler was used to being in the daycare and me being with him there at all times since birth. So I knew he would even more need a transition. We were not allowed that transition, I knocked on the daycare door because it was closed and locked, and the daycare worker opened it snatched him out of my arms, and slammed the door in my face. My son was so shocked and terrified that he was screaming like he was being killed. Even though I was angry I calmly knocked on the door again to explain to her what was going on and to make sure he was ok because he had not fully been in the room when that door slammed. I hadn't been sure if it was another child who had slammed it or the lady who yanked my toddler out of my arms. No one answered, instead they called another church member to come to me and tell me to go away I had no right to be knocking it didn't matter if my son was in there. That was when I said hell no and knocked harder, yet no one answered and the church member said the daycare provider was not going to answer the door. So I started to kick that damn door I was going to get into that room if they liked it or not. The pastor finally came down the hall and asked what was going on and I told him, "Give me my son now!" He took out the keys unlocked the door and got my child for me. We never went back to that church.
Could the late night "drums" you're hearing be your water heater/plumbing?
Twin mom of toddlers here 👋 Hi Colleen - my twin girls are 2 too, and ohhhh wow. Your description of the “juggle struggle” (as I call it) you experienced during their music class was so on point and relatable. I regularly get overwhelmed when my twins both need me and I only can help one at a time. I feel like having twins (I also have an older son too!) is more like having 5 kids because of the amplified needs and them working each other up during meltdowns. No TTQ or advice - just solidarity, mama. 🩷
Thank you! This was so validating to read. I’m going to start using “juggle struggle” from now on! ❤
You and your channel is literally affecting my life so much!🥰 Here are three of them:
1. I am now an eager beach-goer because I am looking for rocks and seaglass. I find mostly seaglass, not to many pretty stones at the beach where I live in Norway. But I have to say my mind goes quite and the hours goes by so fast. It’s really my type of meditation, I love it.
2. I am also now in my Taylor Swift era! I have never really been a fan, but after watching you talk about her I now listen to her songs everyday! Favorite album is def Lover❤ And the songs warms my heart and makes me so happy! I would NEVER imagine watching a video of someone listening to Taylor Swift songs, but now I have!
3. The third one is probably the most impactful one for me. I have discovered that I actually have a disease/diagnosis, and I’m not just a weirdo who picks at my skin both intentionally and unintentionally. Seeing you mention that you do it and that there is actually a diagnosis for it has been so helpful! I feel I don't need to be as embarrassed about how my fingers look at times. And reading about Dermatillomania have helped me understand why and when it happens.
Thank you so much for all you share! You have impacted my life in such a positive way!❤️
Colleen I don’t comment often but I feel I have to today. You are allowed to say you were embraced/frustrated/saddened or insert any other negative word to describe how you felt in that moment. Kids are hard, it can be exhausting especially when they are having an off day and for you to have two at the same time, you are allowed to say it was or even they were hard work in that moment. My oldest daughter has always known she was an absolute nightmare from age 9 months to 2 years as we’ve always joked about it. She would scream the house down at bedtime or if I dared leave her side to go for a pee alone (she’d be with another adult, ie her Dad or grandparent). It was so hard and I spent so many times sat on the stairs sobbing, out of her sight. Now she’s 28 with an almost 1yr old and she gets it. Her baby is an angel but obviously as all babies do she has her off days and now my daughter understands how I felt in t’hose moments. I don’t think people talk about this enough which is why so many feel so much Mum guilt, we feel like it only happens to us when the reality is it happens to almost all of us! Go easy on yourself, being a Mum is hard but you are doing an awesome job! ❤ xx
Tortilla Talk Question: Do you think if you had your medium friend over she'd be able to give you insight about the drums? So Spooky!
OMG Colleen! That dress you bought is literally a proven conspiracy!!! safiya nygaard did a video about that corset summer dress, bought 3-4 dresses from different tiktok ads and yeah its a scam
As a mom of twins, they go through stages and when you have moments like this, just remind yourself this too shall pass. However, unless you can bring someone along with you who they love a lot too so that there's two adults who can accommodate their neediness at the moment, I would start taking only one at a time. They will not no the difference and it will give them really special one on one time with just you. I did this a few times at My GYM and also felt so guilty, but it was so much more doable and a much more pleasant experience when they were going through these stages. Sometimes you just have to do what is easiest and realize they will not be scarred by any of this.
This is a really good idea. Thank you for the advice! ❤
Colleen , separation anxiety is hard, for parent & child, but its part a of helping them grow their wings 🦋& teaching them to be independent & being proud of them when they get there☺️it’ll be ok just breathe & take it one day at a time. It doesn’t make you a bad mom, you’re a great Mom🫶🏼☺️
7:35 Daisy literally said “I have arrived to take over the vlog, I am the star after all.” 😂😂
Hi Colleen check out Sterling Psychic Medium and ask him about your house. He is never wrong and I think you will be amazed at his insight. He is on point! ❤
its ok to leave a class if the kids dont want to be there. maybe they are sick and just dont know it yet.
We actually did end up leaving. Once I realized there was no way I would be able to help them regulate their emotions in that environment, we left. It was definitely the right decision. ❤
Ughhhh I just dealt with my toddler melting down during my daughter’s band orientation. I literally couldn’t leave, but you can’t MAKE a child do what you want. I was so frustrated, but I just kept reminding myself she’s three and tired and bored. Xoxo we’re both killing the mom game
TTQ; Regarding the 'ghost' and the drumming, have you ever went to a medium or had one come to your house since you moved into your current home?
My mother went to a medium last year and was suprised to find out that my grandfather (who died 20yrs before I was born) 'looks after me' whilst my mother is at work. I'm autistic and don't leave the house very much, so I'm often alone all day and I know my mother worries about me, but the medium was not aware of this information. The medium mentioned a detail about one of our dogs when my mother never even mentioned we had dogs and spoke of my grandfather 'showing' her the view from our house. My mother never told the medium her surname, occupation, where we live etc when she booked to see her so we both doubt the medium was a fraud. Whilst my mother was seeing this medium our dogs went crazy several times at a window pointing at the view described, but there was nothing there, so it does suggest that 'somebody' was in our house at that point in time.
My grandfather never set foot in our house so if what the medium said was true he would have had to purposefully enter the house and I wonder if you could have a similar situation with a family member 'guarding' you and your family but only letting themselves be known to you (and now the twins) for whatever reason through the drumming (and maybe the 'orb' that others spotted). I was thinking that your house may not be haunted or have a resident ghost so to speak; it may be more of a 'guardian angel' situation.
As a side note, I am in my hometown of Milford, CT (I live in Utah now) today and picked up some sea glass. I haven't done that since I was a kid, 40 years ago. It was so peaceful and I can't thank you enough for reuniting me with this!
This comment makes me so happy!!! ❤
Colleen don't ever put yourself down as a mother it took me 18 years to learn that I always thought I was a bad mom because I'm disabled but my very sweet angel said to me that I'm not like other moms because I will stop and give her all my attention when those things happen just look how smart your kids are and loving you a great mom so don't forget that and give all your kids a big hug
TTQ: Would you ever get some sort of ghost equipment to see if it'll pick up any activity around your house?
Wow Colleen, that was a hard morning indeed! Whew, any mom would have been frazzled by two toddlers melting down and needing mommy. I'm sorry you felt overwhelmed and embarrased. I only had one child and it was almost too much for me! I'm always in awe at how amazed you've handled your twins (AND Flynn) since their birth, it's A LOT to handle. You're doing great, never doubt yourself. You're amazing.
TTQ - have you tried using the ghost equipment you got to try and see if you get any responses? Would love to see video footage of you trying to communicate with whatever is haunting your house ❤️
That is so spooky! You did a good job at keeping your composure because I'd be spooked. Have you ever talked to your kids about ghosts in general? If so, how did you explain it to them?
Hi Colleen, as a mom and a kindergarten teacher, I have seen this behavior from children countless times. First of all it’s very normal toddler behavior. Children (at that age especially) are learning how to express themselves and to regulate their emotions. Some days are more difficult than others. In a situation such as that, it’s OK to step out of the room with the twins. A change of scenery to a quiet hallway gives them and you a quick reset. It also gives you all space to calm down and talk quietly about what is going on. It’s also quite alright to simply just leave the class. Try another day. Sometimes removing a child completely from the situation is what is needed in that moment. At any rate, you are a good mom Colleen. There is always next weeks class.❤️🙂
My love. STOP shaming yourself for 1) being human, 2) being a mom, and 3) feeling stressed. I don’t have multiples but I truly don’t think that is the point. Kids will absolutely freak out at random times/places/occasions for zero identifiable reason. Any other parent with a single heart cell will understand. If you’re lucky they will acknowledge your struggle. That’s how humans should behave. The twin’s behavior is no reflection on you as a mom. F*** anyone you think is judging you. Some days just don’t work. The best skill you can gain is the ability to pivot and laugh at the crazy. Yesterday’s sh*t is already forgotten. None of these times you’re stressing about will matter.
As a follow up to all of that, please know that it is OKAY if your kids lose their sh*t. Walking away (safety first) is a legit option for your own sanity. You cannot forever be responsible for their emotional regulation. Teach but allow space for them to figure it out - it hurts our mama hearts way more than it stresses them. I promise. Emotional regulation is a forever skill that only one can handle for oneself.
Tortilla Talk Question: Have you talked to your ghost hunter friend about how your house is haunted, I can't remember his name but I wonder if you still keep in touch and tell him about everything that happens at your house?
It’s possible your home is build on some old native lands. Or you may be close native lands
YOU ARE DOING GREAT!!!! Have more grace with yourself 🥹❤️
I’m a big believer that the home is a training ground to teach our kids how to act in public. And btw, I think you’re doing an amazing job Colleen. If my toddler acted up while out in public I either took them outside until they could gather themselves or if it was more of misbehavior I would make them face a wall, any wall, and be quiet til they were ready to change their behavior. Maybe 2 is a little young to face the wall but definitely take them outside to “take a break” if they were still unable to compose I’d take them home and try again next week. Sounds like the twins were feeding off one another’s energy and just needed to go home at that point. I hope I don’t come across as judgmental. Love you!
One of my favorite features of the vlogs is to watch Daisy hog the camera! Probably Daisy is playing the drums and pretending to be a ghost.
I would definitely do some research on who has lived in the house -
and if anything else was on the grounds prior to the house being built.
And. You're a great mom. Sorry you were feeling like you were -
and happy you know that getting back to nature can cure that feeling.
European car geek here… The car you saw on the parking lot was an „MGB“, and the car you did CICGC in was an „Austin-Healey Sprite“ (nickname „Frogeye“)- both British, both roughly the same production years (1970s), still different models of different brands. But same beautiful colour combination, and easy to be mixed up if you’re not into cars! 🫶
I know NOTHING about cars at all and I definitely feel dumb now 😂 it looked exactly the same to me! 🤦🏻♀️ thanks for letting me know!!
lol Maisy said “vrooom boom boom”, I wonder if that’s what Wesley heard and then Maisy joined in and copied Wesley
I cant remember but did you ever do physical therapy for your shoulder? I know several people that havr shoilder issues and learned often times strengthening the shoulder muscles helps
Re: shoulder. I hear you and struggle similarly. I will caution you not to do more injections. Those are cortisone shots and over time will harm the tissues and only weaken the area more. Sucks. Strengthening the muscles that support your shoulder joint is your best option. PT if you have done that yet. ❤
If you look at the monitor video again, you will see white orbs fly by at the time Wesley hears the drums. That pretty much confirms spirits are around.
It’s dust
TTQ: what’s a quality in Erik that you see in each of your children and vice versa for Erik? 💝
could you mash up the prophecy and seven? like right at the spot where you stopped singing the prophecy, start in with “your braids in a pattern”
Colleen you are NOT a bad mom! you are amazing and just feeling guilty at all proves you love your kid so much. not everyone gets to have a mom who cares like you, (i certainly wish i did) please don't feel bad!!!
Colleen I love your videos so much!❤
I learned about Chappell Roan from you randomly mentioning her in a vlog a little bit ago and I cannot thank you enough!!!! I am fully obsessed and can't get enough! she's my current hyperfixation hehe
As soon to be mom I know nothing about this but as a formal Babysitter you can't do two things at once , so don't feel bad
Maybe the previous residents had mediation drums for their meditation sessions.
TTQ: have you looked up the history of your house.
Ah! I’m glad I watched this hours before bed! Ghosts scare me a lot! There was a woman named Sylvia Brown who used to go on The Montel Williams show who was a medium. She said you can ask the ghosts, “Please pass on.” Many a night from completely under my blankets have I used that! I guess it didn’t work if I had to repeat myself! 😝
Hi Colleen, First I want to say you are an amazing mom!!! I have been places with my littles for classes that they normally would have loved. But that day they were acting like your little ones. When I couldn't settle them into the class I took them home. Now my reason for this wasn't to punish them but to realize that there are days that I as adult don't want to do things. Even things that I love. Our children have times also that they just don't feel like a class, music, dance whatever it is they just aren't into it that day. I respect that and just say very calmly "Do you want to go home or stay here for the class?" If they want to stay then I would quietly tell them in order to stay we have to sit and listen. If they want to go home we go home. Of course this doesn't go for every scenario but for a preschool music or dance class it would work. I think you did your best at the time. It is hard to parent when everyone is staring at you. I would feel uncomfortable also. If I was there I would have given you a big hug. When my kids got older and attended school we gave them two "mental health days" a year. They could use them when they were needing a day just to refresh. Most of the time they never even used them but they were happy that they could if they needed them. We felt as parents we often need those kind of day and our kids might need them too. I hope this helps. Love, hugs and blessings.
So weird, I also had a rotator cuff tear in my right shoulder that was repaired about 10 years ago, and it’s been killing me the last few days 🤷🏼♀️ you are a great mom, it was an off day, give yourself some grace mama ❤❤
Love you so much colleen you’re so sweet, and you mean so much to me I look up to you a lot and that you’re not afraid to be who you are. I truly look up to you and although the world can be so nasty to beautiful human beings I try to block it out 💞
Hope your shoulder is getting better!
My 2 yo son (19 now) threw fits like no child I had ever seen and he has 2 older brothers and twin sister. It didn't matter where he was or what we were doing. She didn't throw fits but she still needed me. It doesn't last long but I know that doesn't help now but you will look back and this memory will be like catching a cloud.
tortilla talk question: who are you going to the olivia rodrigo concert with?
colleen will you ever sell your merch again? i really want one of the “i cry a lot” shirts!! cause it’s true and everyone that knows me knows that it is true i cry A LOT.
Collecting seashells at the beach is my therapy too I love it ❤❤😊😊
I find it Exhausted and overstimulating at times having One toddler constantly needing me and Mum mum mum mummm, i cannot even imagine having Two at the Same Time
TTQ: I am graduating in June. We would like to play a few Taylor Swift songs at the prom. Which songs would you recommend?
I saw a video that you can remove the ink off of shipping labels with hand sanitizer. If this is true it might be easier for you to do that quickly before filming than blurring out the packages. Or it is not either...just thought I would put that out there in case.
Thanks for sharing those sucky feelings! I can’t imagine how overwhelming it can be sometimes! I’m proud of you for trying to “grab the reins.” That what we call attempting to stop the spiraling anxiety. You’ve got this!
I was just talking to a girlfriend about the mom guilt and then I clicked on this. We hear you, we see you, we are you ❤
Heeyyy colleen hope you are feeling better from your arm ❤️
I do not have twins but I have two boys close in age. It’s hard and the guilt you feel can be overwhelming. Please please try not to beat yourself up. The parents that were staring were either jerks or trying to think of ways to help but either way do not let it affect you. You are a wonderful mom.
Girl I swear we are so connected bc the 2nd I was so shaken and just an off day also I swear we always have hard days the same day and I’m sooo thankful you share your life bc I don’t feel alone even though I really am but when I see you it’s like talking to an old friend and catching up
All moms have those hard times. If it were me, I’d probably start crying with my crying kids. Then I’d ask the kids to give me a hug. We would probably leave. You’re amazing that you hung in there. Kudos to you for trying to help them. It’s hard to deal with life when you’re hurting. Today was my dialysis day and I was hurting a lot. Watching your video was my escape. Your videos are my therapy. I’m just glad I’m past the little kid stage. I’m in the grandma of 6 stage. . Feel better, hun. ❤️❤️
Little car you were in as Miranda was an Austin Healey 'Frog Eyed' Sprite and that car at the beach is a MG B GT...okay I will go now...sorry!
So cool that you know that! They really look so similar!
Sometimes kids just have an off day and it’s okay to just apologize and politely excuse yourselves from the class. You can always try again another day.
Definitely ghosts!!!! Sam and Colby have a few videos from the infamous conjuring house property where they hear the same tribal drums!!!
Have an amazing weekend queen and ur spectacular family LUV U! ❤❤
Maisi is always giving "look at all those chicken" vine energy and i am here for it
Colleen you are doing amazing as a mom. It was hard at times for me and I only had one. Don’t ever feel embarrassed because we have ALL had days like that❤❤❤❤. Your kids are amazing!!!
Oh and the dress? That is the scam dress!! The original is expensive ( $200-$300) but it has now been duped everywhere! The ad they use for all the versions is the original companies ad so it looks super high quality and is corseted. But then when you order off of the other website you get any number of possible dupes instead😢 of
2:44 the epitome of trying not to gush over a cute random dog in the background while having a serious convo
I’m so sorry you had an upsetting day with the twins maybe in times like that they just did not want to be there? Can you leave ? You’re such a good mommy it was an overwhelming situation and sometimes a good cry does us good but never think you are not a good mommy because you are! The sweatshirts are awesome!! I would definitely get a cortisone injection don’t continue to suffer when you can get relief!! Omg the drums are definitely spooky! Sorry about your dress it looked cute too! Loved the purple rocks and yellow glass! Hope you can take a small break every week and have some you time!
I am sorry to hear of the return of the shoulder pain. I had to switch to a left handed mouse years ago because of pains in my right arm. I hope you heal well. - cheers
Hey Colleen, happy weekend. Those spirits might be too scary for the twins, I hope they're alright.
Please don’t worry about what others think although I know I would of too! My granddaughter is 23 months and definitely has the terrible two moments! I’ve carried thru our neighborhood screaming because I won’t let her walk up to neighbors homes lol! It’s ok, you’re ok, we are all ok! Just know you know your kids and you handled it like a pro!
I have on and off rotator cuff pains and it is the worst! I used to get shots too! The shots after while don’t work. I also use to do stretches for it too!
AHHHH LYSM COLLEENNNN🫶🫶
Colleen, what you are going through with the kiddos is perfectly normal. They go through stages. You cannot feel bad about whatever they are going through. You are doing everything right as a parent, but you also have to accept that it’s OK to take time for yourself. Do not feel guilty for doing that.
Even though they are your babies, you all are independent and are individuals, if you are not OK, no one else will be OK so it is all right to take time for yourself and to recharge.
I know it’s hard I’ve been through it but speaking to you with experience, I made it a point to take time for myself and not feel bad about that and then I came back stronger and I was able to reset without any regrets. Much love to you ❤
12:00 do you have a jumanji board hidden somewhere? 🤣🤣
TTQ: Will you sing more musical theater? (Maybe some Hamilton or west side story)
I vividly remember you having the torn rotator cuff and getting those shots in your shoulder. I remember how much you hated them but I think they had given you some relief. Maybe that's something you should try again. However you know your body best you'll figure out what's best for you.
Tortilla Talk Question?
How's potty training going? What method or system do you use? Sending love from Los Angeles 💜💛
Awe my son use to do that he's love the class then randomly he'd just want me it was so hard. :( I'm sorry you went through this. It's ok.
You are a great mom. I know times can be tough but I believe in you.❤
I remember a very similar situation when my now 20 year old was a baby. Same kind of class and he was screaming at the top of his lungs! I felt so judged! You’re not alone! Much love to you. ❤
Daisy, just wants to be a UA-camr too...😊
Colleen my name is Carol Ross im on my husband's UA-cam but you are not a bad mommy at all, you are a wonderful person and mother. Love you and family
Colleen, children can be really hard work at times, even when we are besotted with them! However, I seriously hope some of the other mums at the class stepped up and offered you support, even if it was a kind word or a friendly understanding smile? You aren’t alone in feeling like this and all you can do at the time is your best; whilst you were feeling so sad and awful in the car, the twins had probably long gotten over what upset them and moved on to other things - try not to dwell on it but thank you for your honesty regarding mum life. Sending hugs.😘
I wish I could’ve helped you if I was in that class with you! I have 6 mo old twins and a 22 month old, my oldest son is very very attached and in the stage that you are describing the twins constantly, whenever we are around people in public he wants me immediately and even at home when the twins need me. Mom guilt has been multiplied significantly this year and began with the twins pregnancy. I understand how you feel 100%
You can just leave the class when it becomes overwhelming for you or the twins. If they are not into it on a particular day and are driving you nuts just gather your stuff and leave. You don’t get extra points for staying when your so stressed out and your kids are being naughty. It happens to everyone with one, two or 10 kids.
TTQ: you have been back vlogging for about as long as your hiatus was. I know I perceived those two times very differently. The last few months have gone by so fast. The hiatus seemed to go by so slow. I was so worried about my friend (you!). Reflecting back, how has the time felt for you? How is your spirit? I’m really grateful you came back to vlogging. Much love!
Daisy stealing the show everytime...Love it 😂
you need to give yourself some credit momma! They are still young! I'd be shocked if they stayed still! You are doing amazing! 😘😘
Sometimes it is a win to survive the day with overstimulated little ones. It’s great to share those with other moms because normalizing quiet and happy children all the time isn’t helpful. That’s why you are the only vlog I will watch that has kids. You are real. You are good. You are honest. And I love you for it!
Or maybe it could just be a native population.. they are a thing. The Indigenous peoples of California have been there since before your house was built in 1919 and still live near by. so if it’s not a current native playing the drums could be the spirit of ancestors.
Hey Colleen have you ever heard of Casper The Friendly Ghost 👻 it might help ❤
Which time do you want to hear about! I had two children and sometimes they both or just one would meltdown. Always at the worst possible place or time. Then like you the negative narrative in my head would start. Now when I see a momma going through that I ask if I can help or just cheer her on. I think/ hope it helps to know someone has your back! FYI I went through a year of “ Oh Fudge “ ( only it wasn’t fudge and he only heard it once “ being yelled in the store,church, mommy and me class. Oh and he didn’t hear it at our house. Priceless!
EVERY mom has been there. Tears and all. You are not alone in this so stop beating yourself up about it. And stop it with the negative names you call yourself 😞
You wouldn’t like it if your kids or husband called themselves those things.
You are loved and appreciated by everyone ❤
Thanks for sharing a hard parenting moment, us moms, we all have them and experience them. You are certainly not alone. And the feelings that come along with challenging moments are a lot. How you described having twins and how unless you are going through it you can’t really understand? Is how i feel with raising a 14 year old, 10 year old, and 2 year old. Every day is trying because I am raising 3 kids in 3 very different stages of life. And unless someone else has gone through it, they cannot understand. It feels lonely at times. I am sorry if other parents stared at you, that’s a bummer. I would have offered to help. My 2 year old is in a class once a week and we r like a little community in there, the class kind of fosters it. If you were still in the area i would recommend it to you. But alas you moved away 😢
You give your children grace for having big feelings and difficult days….. you need to start trying to do that for yourself as well. You deserve that understanding just as much!
Colleens channel and its community is so therapeutic, like i cant describe how warm and safe i feel everytime I am on this channel, watching her videos, commenting etc.
