Morgan! I am in my sixties! I want you to appreciate how beautiful and inspiring you are! You are amazing and helped me get through the pandemic when I retired. I enjoy watching your channel and think, “ oh to be in my twenties-again!” You do NOT have a double chin, believe me! I am super proud of you, that you survived Landon’s absence-I get it. There was a time when I moved across country and was totally on my own. My life now is very rewarding and comfortable.
I completely agree with this! I'm in my 30s but I look forward to the mental break of your videos every single week. They are so peaceful and calm. Appreciate you so much Morgan!
I am 6 months from 70 and I feel the same way. I love your videos and look forward to them with anticipation. You have such a sweet quirky nature that shows your true soul. I love Portland and Powells so I love that you show that part of the country to me often. Keep your spirits bright.
I don’t normally comment, but when you were talking about being alone and struggling with it. It got to me. I’m alone now and will be until the new year and I’m struggling with it. You are so inspiring. I’ve been reading so much and it’s helping me so much with being alone as have your videos. ❤️
I think I understand exactly how you feel. There's so much growth in the discomfort of loneliness. You will absolutely be okay! Sending you big hugs and love, friend ❤️
If you haven’t seen Good Witch, you absolutely must!! You’ll fall in love from the first episode!! Very autumn, somewhat witchy but a very sweet witch that helps others!!
My Goodness Morgan, you hair is sooo long now, and sooo beautiful. You are a beautiful young woman, both inside and out. I want to thank you, along with everyone on here I am sure, for helping us get through anxious times, just thinking of your saying " Go get yourself a cup of tea or coffee, grab your coziest of blankets" it is just so calming, and really helps! I am 66 years young, and love watching all your videos, and have read some of the books you have recommended so beautifully to us all. I hope it is not long now, until your beloved Landon returns? What celebrations there will be had then, I am sure, by you and your beautiful Roo dog. Blessings, and warm hugs sent to you from Jilly & Madge the black rescue greyhound, from West Devon, England. xxx
I HAVE GONE THROUGH A CANCER JOURNEY ALONE! AND STILL GOING THROUGH SOME OTHER THINGS ALONE! AND I'M NEW HERE ON THIS CHANNEL! AND I LIKED IT THANK YOU FOR SHARING! ENJOY YOUR BACKGROUND SET UP AND ENJOY YOUR PUZZLING ❤😊
Morgan! I have watched your videos from Nebraska for the last few years. They bring me so much relaxing comfort and joy. A few months ago we made the exciting move to Olympia, WA. As scary as this new move was for us, I found comfort in your videos that have celebrated the beauty of the PNW. And I have to tell you, I FINALLY WENT TO POWELL’S TODAY. It felt like a full circle moment after watching you explore there so many times. ❤️
That’s why I don’t watch scary movies 🎥 I must say, I got all tense watching you run to your bedroom. I live in the Southern Hemisphere and after watching many of your vlogs over the last year or so, I want to visit Powell’s bookshop 🙂Though it’s been challenging, I believe your time apart and personal growth in that time will make for a stronger and healthier marriage. Well done you for turning lemon (a challenge) into lemonade (a positive) 🍋 I ordered a pre-owned copy of Roof Toppers by Katherine Rundell based on your recommendation (and based on online feedback). It sounds like a delightful read. Look forward to you next vlog 🍂🍁🐿
I have been to the musical of les miserables in the Netherlands. It was so, so amazing! I took my husband with me who doesn't really like musicals and even he's in awe. After seeing the musical I wanted to own the book but not the musical version and it was so hard to find. I eventually found a guy at a farmers market who had a copy. But he constantly forgot to take it with him. After a few weeks he brought them. He told me he was very sorry because it was a very old copy. But I fell in love, it was a beautiful old yellowed version of the book. I personally feel that these books are the best, also because they smell the best 🤭. I wish you an amazing time at the show!
Hi Morgan! Ube is purple yam. They normally taste a bit sweet. Tbh I'm actually addicted to Ube. Thank you for your comforting videos! And happy autumn 🧡🧡
I was listening to a psychologist. He said, as you mature you get back to enjoying things you did in your childhood again. Which makes sense. I think maturity is loving yourself and being "ok" with what makes you "you". Not living for what "people" may think of you. I am at a place to where I am unapologetically myself and happy with that.
Hi Morgan, I live in Hillsboro, 16 miles from Portland. I was wondering if you’d do a tour of your favorite coffee places in Portland. I like to explore the city, but I always discover new places in your videos! Thanks!
Hello lovely people, I’ve been having a really tough year mentally. I’ve found your videos so comforting, Morgan. Thank you for creating a welcoming, cosy and kind space on UA-cam. Knowing there are other people who struggle but persevere regardless has been a wonderful reminder. There’s a phrase that I repeat to myself that used to scare me but now I appreciate how helpful it can be. The phrase is: ‘this too shall pass.’ It has helped me to ground myself when I’m upset and maybe it can help someone else. This has been a year of change and adventure and growth, all of which can be really challenging. A year full of loneliness and questioning myself. However there’s been so many wonderful memories too. I’m trying to allow myself to feel all my emotions but let them go when they want and not hold onto them. Easier said than done. Hopefully happier days are ahead but for now I am doing my best to just be present in each day and taking them as they come. Sending love to everyone. 💙🩵
Your talk about being ok meant everything to me this morning. I’m probably double your age and found so much comfort in your video. I was let go of my long time job a year ago, then I started a new and very awful job that I had to leave for my own mental health. Now I am unemployed and feel so scared because I have this life I have made with a mortgage and kids. I’m so afraid of losing all I wielded so hard to accomplish. I can’t seem to find a job and I am so scared. But you made me feel hopeful. Thank you!
Would you ever consider doing a painting video? I would love to see your process because I love your videos and illustrations and that would just be so wonderful! I can‘t imagine something better than the combination of my favourite youtuber and painting (except maybe my favourite youtuber and books but you already do that :D) Have a magical week!✨
Hi! I just wanted to say that I have been alone for the past 3 weeks for the first time in my life, since I moved overseas without my family, and your videos have been so helpful to me... to deal with the loneliness and missing my family so much. So I just wanted to thank you for sharing your experiences (:
I totally put this on for company as I work and I was so pleasantly surprised by your honesty about your relationship and mental health. It's a journey I deeply resonate with. All the best xx
I am proud of you for braving the summer, learning who you are as a person and not just as part of a couple. We tend to lose who we are sometimes when we are married. We become one and forget that we are two separate as well. It's difficult to navigate and balance some times. I understand what you went through alone. But sometimes we need that, don't we? To remove ourselves from the dependence and go within to find our inner strength. Be proud of yourself. Also, I believe getting that call from Landon and him needing you, did your heart a world of good. That even in this time of finding yourselves, it was good for you to know that you are still needed, wanted, valued and loved. And he too, knowing that you would stop the world to get to him. In that video, all the worries I had for the both of you left immediately. You two are meant to travel this life's journey together. And this time has made you each stronger alone and will strengthen your togetherness. Sending love to you both, enjoy your reunion...without us lol, we will all be here and hug you both with likes and loves and warm comments! You two first, we can wait for the update video of you two together 😊
This message has gone straight to my heart ❤️ I also believe that Landon and I are meant to travel life's journey together. The time apart has been such a gift. Moving forward, our relationship will be better than it ever has been. Thank you, friend ❤️
Then you will be happy to know, that a fourth book is coming out this month (in German first), set 5 years later. Hope that it will also be available in English soon👍
Mo, it is unbelievable how you always, always find exactly the right words at exactly the right time! ❤ You can‘t believe how much I needed to hear these words right now! Thank you, thank you, thank you! And I am so, so happy for you that Landon is going to be back and you guys are being reunited again! ❤
Les Mis is the best book i’ve ever read, if you love the musical you get SO much more info about the characters. Hugo’s writing is so topical, so political, so funny, it could’ve been written a year ago. def reccomend the audio book just to help you get through it! but i can assure you you will not want to put it down
I love to re-read old childhood favorites. Even children's books sometimes. One of my favorites is The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle! The story is just so sweet and the illustrations are so cute. One of my favorite books of all time I 1st read when I was in the 4th grade! The Summer Of My German Soldier by Bette Greene just touches my heart❤
Your videos give me an unmeasurable amount of comfort 💮🌠 I hope to visit Portland and the infamous Powell's Books someday! I wish you all the best, Morgan!
Oh Mo, your face drinking the tea 😂 made me belly laugh, I always come away from your vlogs feeling so happy and content! Love your book recommendations too, I buy so many new reads from your videos xx
Another cozy video! My fav... Books, book stores, coffee shops ( have to check out that library w/ ghost book) just tagging along🤗🍁🍂📚 always look forward to your videos😊
My friend! First and foremost, my jaw dropped when you revealed Rooftoppers as I JUST read that book a few months ago completely on a whim and loved it so dearly!!! We’ve messaged about our similar experiences in traveling across the country and having to figure out your place in the world and figuring out who you are on your own. Loneliness is something I’ve been struggling with a lot recently too and watching your journey this summer was so relatable. I’m so proud of everything you’ve been doing for yourself! Keep going, our self-discovery journey and learning to love time with ourselves is so important and magical. Very excited for my fave fall content creator this month. 🥰 happy trees, teas, and reads to you my friend.
Thank you for your message that everything will be okay. I got divorced 2.5 years ago and have been a single mom since then and I am still not over it and struggle a lot with depressive episodes. So I needed your words and your hug. Thank you ❤
I happy to hear Landon doing better! Sometimes space apart can strengthen relationships. When I was dating my now husband he was in the army. We was stationed for over seas for over a year and I worried how it would impact us. We had to learn to be open and honest to each other. I think it helped because now 18 years later we are still together.
Aaaaa my fav time of the day when you upload a video Mo you cannot understand how much comfort your videos have been giving me the last 3 years and especially now the last month it’s been hard but your videos give me comfort and escape from the hard reality thank u❤❤❤
'Everything will be okay...eventually" this is one of the things I tell myself again and again when it gets really difficult. Morgan your videos bring me so much warmth and joy, please never stop making them 💖💕 . Edit: I went out today and ended up buying the Graveyard Book because it seems like so much fun it’s been a while since I’ve read a middle grade book but I trust your book taste Morgan!! I’m here for all the fall vibes 🎃🍁🍂
Oh my gosh, Morgan! You are so cute! I'm 71, live alone and can't watch scary movies at all. You bring so much fun into my life. I can't wait for Landon to be home with you again. ❤️
Our beloved family pet died 2 days ago and we are all heartbroken. This video helped being me comfort, thank you Morgan. Your love and kindness reach out across to the other side of the world x
The one book I would recommend reading an abridged edition of is Les Mis. Victor Hugo is an excellent author, but he writes several chapters on a minor character, an entire chapter on a year (not what happened to characters during that year, but the year itself), and so on. An abridged edition will give you a good sample of his writing and won't omit any of the plot.
I’m in a 14 year relationship and I think that is one of the most important aspects. Letting your partner do things that makes them whole, even when you have to sacrifice yourself. Love always wins. Thank you for being here for us Morgan. I love you! ✨💖🦄🎨🧚🏻🍰🌥🎃🍂🖤🌈
Hi Mo! I am still watching this but that puzzle you picked - the cheeky swear one- is actually by an artist called Wayne white. I don’t know much about him as a human but his art cracks me up and he has this wonderful documentary/movie about beauty and it’s so good because it’s not about the average social views. Highly recommend, it one of my faves in the art world!
Nothing can describe my happiness whenever I see a notification from you uploading a new video…I had such a long day and watching this vlog has recharged my soul ♥️ Thank You Mo!
A shop for all would be great! I was a patreon for a while but couldn't keep it up. I would like to support but can't afford to do this monthly. I did get the beautiful sticker of the open book with the flowers and received many compliments. ( I put it on my water bottle.🙂) Glad Landon will he back soon. This experience has reminded me of when my husband was deployed for almost a year. Not easy but I felt stonger and did things I didn't know I was capable of.
your videos give me the most comfort i’ve felt in months :’) thank you so much for being you and speaking about your struggles and helping others feel less alone or weird
I am thrilled that you both had the opportunity to have these experiences. Great growing experience for Landon and great growing experience for you!! It's helped you both to grow and learn and evolve. 😊
Great video! I agree with you 💯 percent. You look amazing and beautiful and well I'm so happy for you. I can't wait for the next video!!! Please don't make us wait to long lol.
This video made me so emotional! Hearing you talk about Landon and your guys’ time apart really hit me. Also your little pep talk about how things are gonna be okay. So thank you 🧡
I can’t even start to describe the amount of joy and coziness you and your channel give me. I’m so grateful that you share your adventures with us Morgan! ❤
It's been years I haven't commented. But I wanted to pop in and say hello Morgan friend! I hope you're doing well. ❤ I'm looking forward to be watching your new video. You bring me happiness and calmness in each of your video, and I will like to thank you a bunch. Love you🥰
Hi again Morgan! ( I am the same person in a different account... this will be confusing :)) I forgot to mention. I've been having a hard time for the past couple of years and a few months ago I watched your videos again. And I couldn't help but get emotional because, Morgan friend, you helped me find the joy in reading and to romanticize my life, and i'm forever grateful to you. These days I've been hard on myself and haven't been reading as much, but watching your videos again brings me peace and to enjoy this autumn season. While reading with my cozy blanket with a cup of tea and to actually relax. Thank you Morgan. Thank you Friend
I remember you, Brigit friend! I'm so happy you've found your way back. I'm sorry you're going through a hard time. You're wise to look to the little things like reading and cozy blankets for joy ❤️ Everything will soon be amazing! Sending you love and hugs
The reminder you give us all that its ok not to be ok, speaks volumes to me I have to remind myself every now an then no matter what our age is or where each of us is at in our life journey it's ok one day at a time ❤ thank you for you're videos an down to earth realness
It's been such a long time since I last commented on your video. I watch every single video of yours. You have added so much warmth in my life. Your autumnal videos are my most favorite, so cozy. Loads of love Morgan💗
Dearest Morgan, thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. You really hit the nail on the head,your videos bring so much joy and comfort. My anxiety has been amped up and your words were like a hug. Thank you!
Love your little October pile of books, what a collection! And I agree, you're one of my comfort youtube videos in the background to help me trudge through the day, inch by inch.
This is so beautiful. I laughed at the scary music that played when you had to go back for your phone. I'm so proud of you and Landon and so happy for you both that the time apart was so enriching and that you can truly enjoy the growth you both experienced, individually and as a couple. Thank you for bringing light to so many us. You've been with me through some very dark and scary times and you encouraged me (even personally through comments) and you were right! I am now in the city I love, doing the work that I love, and living in a little house that I adore. I must get the Ella book. I giggled with glee just looking at the pictures with you. Thanks for everything dear Morgan.
My sister did a Trader Joe's Fall food haul, which includes the maple oat milk and pumpkin butter. Mix a bit of the pumpkin butter with the maple oat milk! It's absolutely divine!
Thank you so much Morgan for the wonderful video and the book recommendation ❤ A story taking place on the roofs of Paris can only be wonderful! I laughed sooo hard about your Les Misérables adventure 😂 I tried to read it many times and always stopped at some point! I remember getting home late as a student back when I was in Uni : I had borrowed Les Mis from the library and the book was soo huge and heavy that it felt like a brick in my bag! I used to think that if anything weird happened on my way home I could always use the book as a projectile and run away 😂 Also thank you for your kind and encouraging words. Things have been busy and messy lately and your words brought so much comfort. I am slowly learning to be kinder to myself and your UA-cam channel helps me a great deal. Lots of love ❤
Ah, what a great thing to work on-- being kind to oneself is challenging. I'm sending you light and love, friend ❤️ (PS, I have totally been comforted by the knowledge that I could use a book as a weapon if needed!)
Loved your video Morgan! I'm so proud of you pushing through from those early days of Landon starting his journey. You're amazing and kind and strong! Loved the trip to Powell's. And I might be very excited for your art store online!!!!! There's a book in that beautiful head of yours complete with illustrations! You remember that because that's going to come true! Thanks for sharing your heart and vulnerability here, it's all that relatable and I love that!! (PS I'm still healing and eating soup! 😱 almost14 weeks!)
I am totally jealous of you both and your amazing books 📚 hope you enjoy your reading prayers and blessings for you and your family love your Aussie family friend John 🧡🧡🧡
One more delightful video where we can feel all your emotional moments, share your light and your darkness! Share your fun and your sadness, but also share your growth and your inspirational thoughts! Loved your cute and spooky 👻 night 🥰😂 ❤
This video was wonderful Morgan. I am currently dealing with covid for the first time so your video gave me a welcome respite from my illness. It makes me so happy to see you saying you are experiencing joy again. This time of growth for you has been hard some times to watch as you struggled but in the end you came out stronger. I am sure the same is true for Landon and yes you two are meant to be on this life journey together. So much love there my friend. I am happy to hear you will be reunited soon. Thank you for all the love and light you share with the world. Your a true inspiration to so many people. I appreciate you! Thank you for the book recommendation too and I am loving The Graveyard book! I fell off the not buying books bandwagon too but still trying to read books already on my bookshelf. Sending you a big hug.
I appreciate you Morgan - such a sweet soul.. and may i say (even though this is a video and a snippet of you) it truly appears that you have grown and matured. there is a sense of calmness about you :) Good for you to go through the hard hard work of self discovery and healing. it is awe-inspiring!
Les Miserables is so worth the read!! I was intimidated too but it is one of my favorite stories so I knew I had to. I broke it up into 100 pages a week over 3 months and kept myself accountable. So worth it!
Okay, I'm getting Ella's Night Lights for my sister for Christmas - she does illustration and is growing a collection of children's books. Thank you so much for sharing, it's a perfect addition to her bookshelf! Also, it's lovely to see you so happy. ❤
Remember you and Landon have spent all summer creating solo routines. Coming back together will be wonderful, but will also be an adjustment. I dealt with this when when my husband retired and new routines had to be negotiated. My son, in the military, and his family, had to deal with these shifts too. It's inevitable to have some bumps and rattles in the integration period. I loved watching you negotiate bed space with Rhu. It's a nightly event here with a small dog and two floofy cats. And I didn't even notice the clothes at the end of the bed. Doesn't EVERYONE have clothes at the end of the bed? Just me? LOL
Morgan thank you for making these inspired videos! You truly are a happy point in my life! I’m in my sixties and I sure need you! I love your whole being! I was kinda upset at Landon for doing his thing but I’m so glad he’s coming home! I love you guys together so much!
This was such a sweet, funny video. I looked at the book shelves in the bookstore and wondered if the books at the top are ever seen. As long as your doggy wants to play after a scary movie, you know you are safe!
I read Les Mis about 7 years ago while I was pregnant. I was super intimidated, too, so I gave myself permission to read a lighthearted book every time I got through 100 pages. It worked!
Morgan! I am in my sixties! I want you to appreciate how beautiful and inspiring you are! You are amazing and helped me get through the pandemic when I retired. I enjoy watching your channel and think, “ oh to be in my twenties-again!” You do NOT have a double chin, believe me! I am super proud of you, that you survived Landon’s absence-I get it. There was a time when I moved across country and was totally on my own. My life now is very rewarding and comfortable.
Thank you so very much, friend-- your words go straight to my heart ❤️ You are a light ☀️
I completely agree with this! I'm in my 30s but I look forward to the mental break of your videos every single week. They are so peaceful and calm. Appreciate you so much Morgan!
Same here and I am mid-fifties. Your videos are the best to wind down after a streneous day. Thank You Morgan
I feel the same way!! Couldn’t say it better myself. ❤❤❤
I am 6 months from 70 and I feel the same way. I love your videos and look forward to them with anticipation. You have such a sweet quirky nature that shows your true soul. I love Portland and Powells so I love that you show that part of the country to me often. Keep your spirits bright.
Being an adult is highly overrated. I LOVE children's literature!!! 😂❤🥰 May you never lose your childlike wonder, Morgan 💖💕
Same to you, friend! Your childlike wonder is apparent and wonderful ✨
I don’t normally comment, but when you were talking about being alone and struggling with it. It got to me. I’m alone now and will be until the new year and I’m struggling with it. You are so inspiring. I’ve been reading so much and it’s helping me so much with being alone as have your videos. ❤️
I think I understand exactly how you feel. There's so much growth in the discomfort of loneliness. You will absolutely be okay! Sending you big hugs and love, friend ❤️
If you haven’t seen Good Witch, you absolutely must!! You’ll fall in love from the first episode!! Very autumn, somewhat witchy but a very sweet witch that helps others!!
My Goodness Morgan, you hair is sooo long now, and sooo beautiful. You are a beautiful young woman, both inside and out.

Thank you so much, Angie (and fellow light giving friend) ✨
I HAVE GONE THROUGH A CANCER JOURNEY ALONE! AND STILL GOING THROUGH SOME OTHER THINGS ALONE! AND I'M NEW HERE ON THIS CHANNEL! AND I LIKED IT THANK YOU FOR SHARING! ENJOY YOUR BACKGROUND SET UP AND ENJOY YOUR PUZZLING ❤😊
Welcome to a community that supports one another. ❤ I hope you are doing well and practicing self care while you are going through a difficult time.
You are incredible, friend! I'm so happy you found your way here ❤️
Ube (pronounced oo-bay) is a tuber. Sometimes people call it a purple yam. It is from the Philippines and is delicious!
I haven’t had the spread though 😊
Morgan! I have watched your videos from Nebraska for the last few years. They bring me so much relaxing comfort and joy. A few months ago we made the exciting move to Olympia, WA. As scary as this new move was for us, I found comfort in your videos that have celebrated the beauty of the PNW. And I have to tell you, I FINALLY WENT TO POWELL’S TODAY. It felt like a full circle moment after watching you explore there so many times. ❤️
You are my Kathleen Kelly! I just love your energy and your passion. You are such a light.
That’s why I don’t watch scary movies 🎥 I must say, I got all tense watching you run to your bedroom. I live in the Southern Hemisphere and after watching many of your vlogs over the last year or so, I want to visit Powell’s bookshop 🙂Though it’s been challenging, I believe your time apart and personal growth in that time will make for a stronger and healthier marriage.

I’m Australian and visited Powells once and it was amazing
I have been to the musical of les miserables in the Netherlands. It was so, so amazing! I took my husband with me who doesn't really like musicals and even he's in awe. After seeing the musical I wanted to own the book but not the musical version and it was so hard to find. I eventually found a guy at a farmers market who had a copy.

Ube (ooh-bay) is purple yam, popularly used in Fillipino cuisine!
Hi Morgan! Ube is purple yam. They normally taste a bit sweet. Tbh I'm actually addicted to Ube. Thank you for your comforting videos! And happy autumn 🧡🧡

Hello lovely people, I’ve been having a really tough year mentally. I’ve found your videos so comforting, Morgan. Thank you for creating a welcoming, cosy and kind space on UA-cam. Knowing there are other people who struggle but persevere regardless has been a wonderful reminder.
There’s a phrase that I repeat to myself that used to scare me but now I appreciate how helpful it can be. The phrase is: ‘this too shall pass.’
It has helped me to ground myself when I’m upset and maybe it can help someone else.
This has been a year of change and adventure and growth, all of which can be really challenging. A year full of loneliness and questioning myself. However there’s been so many wonderful memories too. I’m trying to allow myself to feel all my emotions but let them go when they want and not hold onto them. Easier said than done. Hopefully happier days are ahead but for now I am doing my best to just be present in each day and taking them as they come.
Sending love to everyone. 💙🩵
Your talk about being ok meant everything to me this morning. I’m probably double your age and found so much comfort in your video. I was let go of my long time job a year ago, then I started a new and very awful job that I had to leave for my own mental health. Now I am unemployed and feel so scared because I have this life I have made with a mortgage and kids. I’m so afraid of losing all I wielded so hard to accomplish. I can’t seem to find a job and I am so scared. But you made me feel hopeful.
Thank you!
I hope you find a perfect job. That is scary and I hope things improve soon.

@@MorganLong You are so welcome and thank you for allowing us to be part of your life. You are a joy to hang out with in every vlog. Kindred spirits 😊
Thank you Morgan for your big heart, warmth, joy, your spirit!!! You make us all feel seen and heard and less alone in life. Warm hugs to you!!!
Thank you for your light and warmth, friend!! Warm hugs to you too!
Hope Morgan is going to read Inkheart! It's my favorit trilogy of all times! ❤️❤️❤️
I did not know that Inkheart was a trilogy. I really enjoyed the first book thank you for sharing I have just ordered the other two books 📚 💛
I have read it! It was a great comfort to me during my first year as an adult in the "real world." Such beautiful writing!
Then you will be happy to know, that a fourth book is coming out this month (in German first), set 5 years later. Hope that it will also be available in English soon👍
Mo, it is unbelievable how you always, always find exactly the right words at exactly the right time! ❤ You can‘t believe how much I needed to hear these words right now! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
And I am so, so happy for you that Landon is going to be back and you guys are being reunited again! ❤
Sending you very big hugs and love, Jana friend ❤️
Les Mis is the best book i’ve ever read, if you love the musical you get SO much more info about the characters. Hugo’s writing is so topical, so political, so funny, it could’ve been written a year ago. def reccomend the audio book just to help you get through it! but i can assure you you will not want to put it down
Thank you for keeping me company on a Sunday morning as I drink my coffee super early before my family is up for the day. ❤
I love to re-read old childhood favorites. Even children's books sometimes. One of my favorites is The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle! The story is just so sweet and the illustrations are so cute. One of my favorite books of all time I 1st read when I was in the 4th grade! The Summer Of My German Soldier by Bette Greene just touches my heart❤
Your videos give me an unmeasurable amount of comfort 💮🌠 I hope to visit Portland and the infamous Powell's Books someday! I wish you all the best, Morgan!
Thank you so very much, Julia friend ❤️
You are so fun to watch! Thanks for helping me to relax after a very long day.
Whhhooohooo! I can't wait for this! Now, I have some motivation to work really hard today and treat myself to some cosy vibes afterwards!!😊
Oh Mo, your face drinking the tea 😂 made me belly laugh, I always come away from your vlogs feeling so happy and content! Love your book recommendations too, I buy so many new reads from your videos xx
Another cozy video! My fav... Books, book stores, coffee shops ( have to check out that library w/ ghost book) just tagging along🤗🍁🍂📚 always look forward to your videos😊
You my dear and your videos are what brings me joy and comfort when I feel lonely or the world a scary place. Thanks for being you. ❤
My friend! First and foremost, my jaw dropped when you revealed Rooftoppers as I JUST read that book a few months ago completely on a whim and loved it so dearly!!!
We’ve messaged about our similar experiences in traveling across the country and having to figure out your place in the world and figuring out who you are on your own. Loneliness is something I’ve been struggling with a lot recently too and watching your journey this summer was so relatable. I’m so proud of everything you’ve been doing for yourself! Keep going, our self-discovery journey and learning to love time with ourselves is so important and magical. Very excited for my fave fall content creator this month. 🥰 happy trees, teas, and reads to you my friend.
Thank you for your message that everything will be okay. I got divorced 2.5 years ago and have been a single mom since then and I am still not over it and struggle a lot with depressive episodes. So I needed your words and your hug. Thank you ❤
I happy to hear Landon doing better! Sometimes space apart can strengthen relationships. When I was dating my now husband he was in the army. We was stationed for over seas for over a year and I worried how it would impact us. We had to learn to be open and honest to each other. I think it helped because now 18 years later we are still together.
Aaaaa my fav time of the day when you upload a video Mo you cannot understand how much comfort your videos have been giving me the last 3 years and especially now the last month it’s been hard but your videos give me comfort and escape from the hard reality thank u❤❤❤
Sending you very big hugs and love, friend ❤❤❤
I very much needed your message. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.⭐
Yes! Inkheart. I read that to my students when I taught 7th grade. Now I must go reread it. ❤
'Everything will be okay...eventually" this is one of the things I tell myself again and again when it gets really difficult. Morgan your videos bring me so much warmth and joy, please never stop making them 💖💕
.
Edit: I went out today and ended up buying the Graveyard Book because it seems like so much fun it’s been a while since I’ve read a middle grade book but I trust your book taste Morgan!! I’m here for all the fall vibes 🎃🍁🍂
Oh my gosh, Morgan! You are so cute! I'm 71, live alone and can't watch scary movies at all. You bring so much fun into my life. I can't wait for Landon to be home with you again. ❤️
Your videos are like watching a friend, just so cozy and sincere vibes always!
very grateful for your words of affirmation during my times of struggle. thank you
Our beloved family pet died 2 days ago and we are all heartbroken. This video helped being me comfort, thank you Morgan. Your love and kindness reach out across to the other side of the world x
Oh I’m sorry , that’s so sad
@@andraste6746 thank you so much x
Now do I stay up late until 5 am for you miss MORGAN or I watch the replay later on tomorrow arvo hard choice 💜💜💜
I got my cozy cup of coffee and am enjoying your sweet vlog! I also love visiting Powell's
Cheers, friend!
The one book I would recommend reading an abridged edition of is Les Mis. Victor Hugo is an excellent author, but he writes several chapters on a minor character, an entire chapter on a year (not what happened to characters during that year, but the year itself), and so on. An abridged edition will give you a good sample of his writing and won't omit any of the plot.
I’m in a 14 year relationship and I think that is one of the most important aspects. Letting your partner do things that makes them whole, even when you have to sacrifice yourself. Love always wins. Thank you for being here for us Morgan. I love you! ✨💖🦄🎨🧚🏻🍰🌥🎃🍂🖤🌈
Hi Mo! I am still watching this but that puzzle you picked - the cheeky swear one- is actually by an artist called Wayne white. I don’t know much about him as a human but his art cracks me up and he has this wonderful documentary/movie about beauty and it’s so good because it’s not about the average social views. Highly recommend, it one of my faves in the art world!
Nothing can describe my happiness whenever I see a notification from you uploading a new video…I had such a long day and watching this vlog has recharged my soul ♥️ Thank You Mo!
Thank you, Lina friend ❤️
Les Miserables is truly a wonderful book, so much better than the theatrical production in my opinion.
A shop for all would be great! I was a patreon for a while but couldn't keep it up. I would like to support but can't afford to do this monthly. I did get the beautiful sticker of the open book with the flowers and received many compliments. ( I put it on my water bottle.🙂) Glad Landon will he back soon. This experience has reminded me of when my husband was deployed for almost a year. Not easy but I felt stonger and did things I didn't know I was capable of.
Big hugs and love to you, Maria friend ❤️
your videos give me the most comfort i’ve felt in months :’) thank you so much for being you and speaking about your struggles and helping others feel less alone or weird
Les miserables is an excellent book! Well worth reading it whole. Or audio book if you don't have time.
I am thrilled that you both had the opportunity to have these experiences. Great growing experience for Landon and great growing experience for you!! It's helped you both to grow and learn and evolve. 😊
Great video! I agree with you 💯 percent. You look amazing and beautiful and well I'm so happy for you. I can't wait for the next video!!! Please don't make us wait to long lol.
This was like a scene from an autumnal movie based on a true story ❤
This video made me so emotional! Hearing you talk about Landon and your guys’ time apart really hit me. Also your little pep talk about how things are gonna be okay. So thank you 🧡
This vlog was everything I needed! I added Rooftoppers and the cute picture book to my TBR.
I really like how genuine you are, thank you! ❤
I can’t even start to describe the amount of joy and coziness you and your channel give me. I’m so grateful that you share your adventures with us Morgan! ❤
So cozy! I love freeing up time in my life to hang with Morgan - it always makes my day!
It's been years I haven't commented. But I wanted to pop in and say hello Morgan friend! I hope you're doing well. ❤ I'm looking forward to be watching your new video. You bring me happiness and calmness in each of your video, and I will like to thank you a bunch. Love you🥰
Hi again Morgan! ( I am the same person in a different account... this will be confusing :)) I forgot to mention. I've been having a hard time for the past couple of years and a few months ago I watched your videos again. And I couldn't help but get emotional because, Morgan friend, you helped me find the joy in reading and to romanticize my life, and i'm forever grateful to you. These days I've been hard on myself and haven't been reading as much, but watching your videos again brings me peace and to enjoy this autumn season. While reading with my cozy blanket with a cup of tea and to actually relax. Thank you Morgan. Thank you Friend
I remember you, Brigit friend! I'm so happy you've found your way back. I'm sorry you're going through a hard time. You're wise to look to the little things like reading and cozy blankets for joy ❤️ Everything will soon be amazing! Sending you love and hugs
@@MorganLong Thank you sweet Morgan! I'm sending you hugs and kisses too❤ I'll try my best to be there on your next premier 🤗
The reminder you give us all that its ok not to be ok, speaks volumes to me I have to remind myself every now an then no matter what our age is or where each of us is at in our life journey it's ok one day at a time ❤ thank you for you're videos an down to earth realness
I always love your videos, Morgan! I’m glad you’re doing well & that Landon will be home soon!
It's been such a long time since I last commented on your video. I watch every single video of yours. You have added so much warmth in my life. Your autumnal videos are my most favorite, so cozy. Loads of love Morgan💗
This made me utterly joyous in every way and one of those graveyard books is for me!!! YAY!
I mailed it off today!!!
A dear friend of mine read Les Miserables and she said it’s the greatest fiction book she’d ever read! Good luck!
Dearest Morgan, thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. You really hit the nail on the head,your videos bring so much joy and comfort. My anxiety has been amped up and your words were like a hug. Thank you!
Love your little October pile of books, what a collection! And I agree, you're one of my comfort youtube videos in the background to help me trudge through the day, inch by inch.
This is so beautiful. I laughed at the scary music that played when you had to go back for your phone. I'm so proud of you and Landon and so happy for you both that the time apart was so enriching and that you can truly enjoy the growth you both experienced, individually and as a couple. Thank you for bringing light to so many us. You've been with me through some very dark and scary times and you encouraged me (even personally through comments) and you were right! I am now in the city I love, doing the work that I love, and living in a little house that I adore. I must get the Ella book. I giggled with glee just looking at the pictures with you. Thanks for everything dear Morgan.
Love the children's book you bought📚 so nice Landon coming home soon but just as nice and important is your journey & growth!🤗
My sister did a Trader Joe's Fall food haul, which includes the maple oat milk and pumpkin butter. Mix a bit of the pumpkin butter with the maple oat milk! It's absolutely divine!
Morgan, you're so precious. Your videos fill me with such a sense of calm and warmth. Thank you
Thank you so much, friend!
Thank you so much Morgan for the wonderful video and the book recommendation ❤ A story taking place on the roofs of Paris can only be wonderful! I laughed sooo hard about your Les Misérables adventure 😂 I tried to read it many times and always stopped at some point! I remember getting home late as a student back when I was in Uni : I had borrowed Les Mis from the library and the book was soo huge and heavy that it felt like a brick in my bag! I used to think that if anything weird happened on my way home I could always use the book as a projectile and run away 😂 Also thank you for your kind and encouraging words. Things have been busy and messy lately and your words brought so much comfort. I am slowly learning to be kinder to myself and your UA-cam channel helps me a great deal. Lots of love ❤
Ah, what a great thing to work on-- being kind to oneself is challenging. I'm sending you light and love, friend ❤️ (PS, I have totally been comforted by the knowledge that I could use a book as a weapon if needed!)
I’m SO excited for you to see Les Mis!! I saw that company in Chicago this year and Nick Cartell is the most amazing Jean Valjean. I’m obsessed
Ube is a purple yam from the Philippines and it is pronounced (oo-beh)
Soo good! You’ll have to try maybe in ice cream form haha
Loved your video Morgan! I'm so proud of you pushing through from those early days of Landon starting his journey. You're amazing and kind and strong! Loved the trip to Powell's. And I might be very excited for your art store online!!!!! There's a book in that beautiful head of yours complete with illustrations! You remember that because that's going to come true! Thanks for sharing your heart and vulnerability here, it's all that relatable and I love that!! (PS I'm still healing and eating soup! 😱 almost14 weeks!)
I just snagged the audio of Rooftop pets from my library! Yay!
I am totally jealous of you both and your amazing books 📚 hope you enjoy your reading prayers and blessings for you and your family love your Aussie family friend John 🧡🧡🧡
One more delightful video where we can feel all your emotional moments, share your light and your darkness! Share your fun and your sadness, but also share your growth and your inspirational thoughts!
Loved your cute and spooky 👻 night 🥰😂
❤
I love your videos! And the way you are ❤ you are so sweet, and your videos are making me so happy 🥰 much love from holland!
I'm so happy to see you joyful!!! Sending you a lot of love from Brazil ❤❤❤
❤❤❤
This video was wonderful Morgan. I am currently dealing with covid for the first time so your video gave me a welcome respite from my illness. It makes me so happy to see you saying you are experiencing joy again. This time of growth for you has been hard some times to watch as you struggled but in the end you came out stronger. I am sure the same is true for Landon and yes you two are meant to be on this life journey together. So much love there my friend. I am happy to hear you will be reunited soon. Thank you for all the love and light you share with the world. Your a true inspiration to so many people. I appreciate you! Thank you for the book recommendation too and I am loving The Graveyard book! I fell off the not buying books bandwagon too but still trying to read books already on my bookshelf. Sending you a big hug.
You are glowing
Sometimes we just need to hear that everything is going to be ok. Thanks for that 🥰
I appreciate you Morgan - such a sweet soul.. and may i say (even though this is a video and a snippet of you) it truly appears that you have grown and matured. there is a sense of calmness about you :) Good for you to go through the hard hard work of self discovery and healing. it is awe-inspiring!
Les Miserables is so worth the read!! I was intimidated too but it is one of my favorite stories so I knew I had to. I broke it up into 100 pages a week over 3 months and kept myself accountable. So worth it!
Highly recommend abridged version of Les Mis! You can get the whole story that way!
Okay, I'm getting Ella's Night Lights for my sister for Christmas - she does illustration and is growing a collection of children's books. Thank you so much for sharing, it's a perfect addition to her bookshelf! Also, it's lovely to see you so happy. ❤
Remember you and Landon have spent all summer creating solo routines. Coming back together will be wonderful, but will also be an adjustment. I dealt with this when when my husband retired and new routines had to be negotiated. My son, in the military, and his family, had to deal with these shifts too. It's inevitable to have some bumps and rattles in the integration period. I loved watching you negotiate bed space with Rhu. It's a nightly event here with a small dog and two floofy cats. And I didn't even notice the clothes at the end of the bed. Doesn't EVERYONE have clothes at the end of the bed? Just me? LOL
Bonjour Morgan ! How are your French lessons going?
thank you so much for the beautiful light that you put on my live 🤗✨✨ bises
Mistress Mashams Repose by T H White with fabulous illustration's by Pauline Baynes is a delight for all ages
Thank you, Morgan ❤ I love read and thank you for this video 🍁🥧🫠😘
Morgan thank you for making these inspired videos! You truly are a happy point in my life! I’m in my sixties and I sure need you! I love your whole being! I was kinda upset at Landon for doing his thing but I’m so glad he’s coming home! I love you guys together so much!
If you liked Inkheart (the fourth in the series is coming out this MONTH btw), you must read Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke!!
This was such a sweet, funny video. I looked at the book shelves in the bookstore and wondered if the books at the top are ever seen. As long as your doggy wants to play after a scary movie, you know you are safe!
I read Les Mis about 7 years ago while I was pregnant. I was super intimidated, too, so I gave myself permission to read a lighthearted book every time I got through 100 pages. It worked!
So cute when you are afraid 🍁🧡 have a nice week-end Morgan
