Hi everyone! I think I said it all in the park….but getting to watch again from this vantage point….I’m tearing up all over again! Social media can be competitive as a creator, it can be overwhelming as a consumer….but here is proof positive that social media can ALSO be transformative. A new friendship has been made and I think I speak for both me and Tracie when I say we are incredibly grateful!🙏💕
@@beautifullifesageg.3951 you always find really great words to put people at ease. The couple of “lives” I have sat in on, I felt a sense of calm and peace when you spoke. It was so great to meet you in person and the person we see on screen is the person I met in real life. That is a gift in itself. I’m also incredibly grateful. Thank you for sharing your Tuesday with me.
Aww how fun! I'm so happy you two stepped out of your comfort zone to meet up. I bet you are both so happy you did. Look at you two, crushing it! Jen-700 subscribers and Tracey - 510. You guys are truly proving that it's possible to grow. You give me hope even on days like today when I'm feeling pretty hopeless. It was nice to see you both together!
@@joannsalas thank you for watching. I’m so happy Jen reached out with a good plan. It felt like a nourishing day with someone I’ve known forever, she is warm, loving and very insightful. I really enjoyed your video today too. It’s so easy to feel hopeless in this really competitive YT community. Lately I’m just happy to have met like minded beautiful humans who have YT channels like me. The hours we need to get and the subs feel very daunting to me. Let’s just keep being our authentic selves doing what we love. Can you imagine the cool footage you will be sharing after your vacation? You will be doing what you love and then sharing about it here. It then becomes a moving memory of that family vacation that you can go back and visit virtually years later.
@@SimoneWhippArtist it’s so true. It’s so comforting to be in the presence of a fellow introvert because we dive deep fast and we don’t scare each other off because it’s how we are made. It sure is a small world in many ways. It’s nice to know I walk the planet with so many good souls.
It was such a nourishing visit. We can all learn so many things from others. She made me feel validated in many ways. She is a true authentic human, it was a pleasure to meet her.
@@Lifeinthewyldewest I finally had a chance to sit and watch without distractions!!! I LOVE this!! What a treat to connect in person, it's so difficult to make friends, especially being our age AND introverted (me too!) that we can find connection with. Thank you for bringing us along, it was beautiful, heartfelt, and very authentic❤ Nervous, but not un-nerved, I love that!!!
@@JasenomadeTV it was a beautiful day. My favorite part was sitting in the grass under the trees with our shoes off and talked and talked and talked. How blessed I feel to be a part of this small UA-camr community of REAL people.
Wow!!!!! What an awesome meet-up! It's always a little bit nerve-racking to meet someone new in an area we are not very familiar with. But I am so happy you did it! Look what YTubing made you do! Lol Jen seems like a very nice person. I have to say that I really like your strawberry pin in your hair! Take care! Edit to add: I am sorry to hear that Jen had a fall out with her sister, so I am very happy for her that she found that love in you. ♡
@@LivingLifewithJudith you always leave the most heartfelt comments Judith. You would be another real human being I would want to meet one day. I already talk about you outside of YT to my family and I feel this way with a few of you who are just genuine good people. It’s been the silver lining in this YT world. I felt highly honored when Jen told us how she felt about me, I wish rather than feeling a bit of shock from her deep feeling I would have reached over to touch her or hug her….the filmer in me just kept holding that camera and I was awe struck. Thank you about the strawberry clips….I’m in my strawberry phase🍓😆
@Lifeinthewyldewest Ahhhh, that's nice of you. It would be awesome to be able to meet you! Don't worry about how you reacted towards Jen. I am sure she knows you were really touched by her words. ♡
What a wonderful meetup! Reminded me of the Flickr days- I am a believer that we attract our people. Got choked up about the sister comment. Thanks for sharing your energies!!! ❤
@@simplifyyourlifewithgwen I was really nervous however it all went away the moment she stepped out of her car and smiled at me….while I ambushed her with my camera on🤩
I literally teared up at the "sisterly" comment. How sweet! What a fun, meaningful meetup!!! Thanks for sharing, both of you. I just subscribed to both of you today! 🤩
@@AthomewithKaren I never realized that when I decided to make youtube videos that I would meet real authentic creators like you and Jen and many others.
It's so nice you guys got to meet each other. As UA-cam sisters, this meeting was epic. You two did your first collaboration and you did in person, rather than virtually. How cool is that!! Congratulations!!!
Pippi for power! Fellow thrifter!!! Peace, love and keep going! How fun to meet each other. This makes me even more excited about UA-cam than I already was.
@@Lifeinthewyldewest thank you so much I appreciate it. Even though I have more subscribers, I noticed that the people interact more with your channel so don’t be discouraged you’re doing wonderful and I’m glad we can help each other.
@@ShanajayeandEric hello! I watched the track meet this weekend on the big screen, have not had a chance to leave a comment ❤️ doing it now. I always appreciate your support.
Very nice you could connect with each other. I'm not a GenX, I'm a Boomer, but I can relate to the both of you. There are so many good people in the world, wouldn't it be great if all those wonderful people connected with each other. Keep being positive and that energy will reflect right back at ya. So nice seeing you both.
I thought I responded to this because you texted me personally as well after you watched this. Another great example of how awesome this community has become. I’ve gained real true friendships.
@@NickandNeoshea when we figured out just how close we are we knew it would be in our future and Jen really made sure it happened and did all the planing even let me know where I could park. I’m so grateful.
We are so very lucky that we just so happen to be a couple of hours from each other. Jen knew I was a local because of the sunlight:) She told me that on our second meeting. She said she can tell what Southern California sunlight looks like apart from other sunlight. I found that to be a super power. Mollie you would for sure fit in over here.
This is sooooo amazing!!!!!! I love how did this video together 🤩🤩🤩🤩. It's very nervous meeting a stranger but it's amazing how you guys connected. That was very touching how Jen expressing how she felt. I love this!!!!
@@kimberlygibson3 it was so touching I’m a bit ashamed of my behavior. I wish I would have embraced her then and there. I just think it took me by surprise and I was processing exactly what she said.
new Subbie here...love your channel already. I love you met up. In the past month I have met up with 3 of my subscribers and I love it, we've been daily vlogging for many years, but changing things now...such a wonderful platform, I am painfully shy, and have many changes, life is turning around. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing.
What a lovely video Tracie and now you have a video record forever! I make my own kefir and once I have sufficient I freeze the grains until the next time xxx
❤ you two brave beauties! I feel kindred to you. I always want to know where to park ahead of time and I go to the "loo" a dozen times when I feel nervous lol. I won't sleep if I have to do something out of my comfort zone the next day.
We do sound like kindred spirits❤ doesn’t it feel so good to feel like we belong and have found others who can relate? I kept telling Jen she made me feel validated.
Replying to myself because I was only halfway through the video when I made my first comment and I want to add more....YOU TWO ARE SO BEAUTIFUL! I really got choked up watching. Just so dang sweet. Breath of fresh air in this crazy world of ours!
:). Thank you it was a surprise for us also to discover we were not too far from one anther. Thank you for understanding it took me 9 whole days to answer this.
@@annelivingstonart I’ve been on YT over a year and found a small handful of people to connect with and it’s been the best gift. Now with this new movement of small GenX people I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. In a good way yet my personality is to not leave people out and support big time, I watch everyone’s videos ALL the way through and finding time in my day to do so is becoming a lot. I’m going to do my best. I think maybe time blocking may become a part of my life. A day and time limit for watching YT, commenting and supporting, a time for FB group and also time to create and most important time for the people I love in life. I need to learn this balance.
@@Lifeinthewyldewest OMG I am also experiencing this! I have been watching/listening while doing housework and/or painting. But am not sure how i will keep up!
@@annelivingstonart I think we have to not be so hard on ourselves and make sure we don’t neglect our creative outlets and even human selves while supporting each other. The fact we follow each other and just watch when we can is great. I know personally I don’t expect you all to watch all the time. It’s not realistic expectstions. Yet I still put this pressure on myself.

@@AgingOnYourTerms thank you! I’m so happy we were both brave to have this meet up.
To Jen…I’m in the same boat as far as a sister! It isn’t easy. But I’m glad you felt the sisterly vibe during this meet up! 😊

@@Lifeinthewyldewest I did, I just drew up an old picture of me and my son when he was a few years old. One of my favourite pictures.
