🫶🏾 it’s a rough time, and I felt like I had to say something. Certainly not the result that I wanted to see. I feel so much for Americans who are living with that uncertainty and prepping to fight for their rights. And it’s pretty stark in other places around the world too. I wish the future felt brighter :(
My favourite part in your workspace tour is how you've "hacked" the space for your convenience. The clip cable holders for your chargers. The monitor stand with the drawers and storage space. Also love the decor.
Happy, Happy (belated) Birthday, Liselle! I wish you many, many more God-blessed and God-filled days. I have to say that I enjoy that you are always honest in your assessment of your writing and willing to share; it makes the process that much more engaging and wonderful to know that there are other writers out in the universe who experience some of the same issues I have experienced as I write. Great room tour. I'm working up to doing mine! Although you are Canadian, I truly, truly appreciate your words regarding our recent election; you are just the type of "neighbor" we need. As an American, a Black woman, a member of the LGBTQIA+, and a disabled person, I have to say that I was very disappointed with the election results (as I voted for Kamala Harris) and I'm ABSOLUTELY proud of that decision. I cannot change what has happened. However, I am absolutely proud of the decision I made for myself, my family, my friends, and my country. Now, I (and many others like me) are taking time to care for our mental, emotional, and physical health (so if we choose to engage in future politics, our strength will be replenished for another battle). And if we choose not to engage, we stand in solidarity of staying true to our beliefs.
Thank you!! And I do try to be honest with myself and you all about my writing specifically because I hope it helps others. We’re all on our own journeys but still have a lot of the same struggles. I definitely have friends who are in that mode too of regrouping and taking time for their wellbeing. And that’s all you can do I imagine is be proud of the choices you made and prep to stay solid in your stance. Wishing you the best!!
Your hair grew so much omg! I have only slightly wavy hair and it takes AGES to grow, but urs is super curly and growing fast! Gotta say im kinda jealous but it looks great! Also, girl, the spines of your books (blood like magic ones) are the prettiest thing ever im genuinely shocked! Such pretty covers on those it gets me everytime
You know I totally thought my hair would take much longer to grow, especially cause I cut it myself (badly) in like 2020 and had to get a bunch hacked off at the salon to make it even lol but it's been growing pretty well. To my shoulders is my preferred length too so it works. Also thank you for the book spine love! They really did an amazing job with them, I feel very lucky
I’m glad they could give you some reprieve! I get that though, it’s hard to feel hopeful. I feel like I’ve just been in an escapist mode. Looks like the tariffs may also destroy our economy 🤪 so it’s a lot.
HEY, Birthday twin - I turn 33 in November too 🥳 I love your new workspace; two screens are a life changer - Also, I'm eating some WOTSITS, so when you initially said the evil orange Cheeto at the beginning, I thought you meant there was a new flavour in Canada that hadn't made its way to the UK yet 🤣🤣
Omg!! Birthday twins! And yes two big screens are so so nice. I feel so much joy and my workflow is way better. Also LOL haha nope. Our Canadian only favour things tend to be ketchup, maple, or all dressed
Thank you for saying something. I have been in a state of disassociating and keeping myself in a bubble in preparation for the foolishness to come. Thank you for caring❤. Also as a fellow purple girl I love the setup. I want my office like this! How did you get the vinyl on so perfect?
Urg take care of yourself, it’s a rough time :( and yay for purple girls! And honestly the vinyl looks less perfect up close 🤣 also I had to do it multiple times before it came out even passable. So trial and error. I would recommend a vinyl with a stronger grip too. And I used an exacto knife very carefully to trim excess
Setting up a world building bible on notion is such a good idea - I currently have everything all over the place in *multiple* scrivener files 😫 I need to update this method asap lol also LOVE a wee desk tour 🙌 how are you finding the mac mini? I'm considering upgrading from a macbook pro.. 🤔
I highly recommend the notion set up! It solved all my issues of having too many things in too many places. And I LOVE the Mac mini. Omg it’s so fast. But I did also get the highest possible amount of ram. And it worked because I already had a keyboard and monitors and external mics and stuff. I could see how it would be annoying if you didn’t because the iMac includes all that stuff. But it’s a good money saver if you do have those things ready to go
@LiselleSambury ooo ok I'll look into that. I already have the extra things so will look into the mini. Ok that settles it, I'll try set up my notes on notion then 🙏☺️
2 mins into this vlog I’m like “wow, I love her even more.” Thank you for that acknowledgement ❤

Thank you! And I'm honestly so happy with the whole space now, it's a lot more functional

Definitely not a great time, but your videos are always a welcome reprieve from the slow-burn dystopian we're falling into.

I too feel the Canadian pain of the US election 😢. Loved the tour of your workspace though!!
:( and thank you!!
