I go back and rewatch your videos when I need to hear your voice and your little chuckles . Please take the time you need. Sending love and hugs Sar!! I will be here when you get back! 💕

You take all the time you need, girl. We'll all be here waiting. I'm not going anywhere, I love what you do and you do an awesome job on your videos. I personally don't think you need to worry about "improving" your video skills. If it ain't broken, don't fix it, I always say. :) Sending you lots of hugs. Take care of yourself, you are awesome and we love you! Have a super day! ♥

I don't think it would necessarily be different with a so called better film/edit package...so long as you were in it doing something all would be great 🧡🧡🧡 It would be fantastic if we could all stay home and create all day and somehow the bills would get paid but back to reality and get on with 2024 xxx

    We forgive you😂 because we love you. Honestly, you don't have to tell us what's going on. But when you tell us you're working 10 -12 hours a day ,everyone who is older knows where that goes. Your body can only do that for a short time. When it gets longer, it will tell you to stop.
    So know you have to take time as you said and think 🤔 about what's going wrong.
    I do hope you get in the right direction, but take your time.
    You are such a beloved person. Feel depressed. That's all we can do, you have to do the rest.
    Till then ,lots of love from Yasmin.❤

I have been busy myself and not much time to watch videos but its getting better for me now. I will take whatever content you are able to give us. And I can't wait to see this epic video. Always take care of you first because no one else will. See you soon. Have a great weekend ❤😊

  • @BobbieJeanM

    I have thought of you but never with a question about what or why. You are not a willy nilly or flighty person so I knew there was a personal reason and I hoped it was not too serious. I’m extremely glad you had good news both times! That was a lot of stress in a relatively short time and physically as well as mentally exhausting. A critical piece of advice for new mothers, caregivers of Alzheimer patients, many others and you is this…to be able to take care of others, first take care of yourself. Those with a giving personality often have a hard time doing that. God new it was important enough to dedicate a sabbath day of rest every week. And Jesus made sure to take time to rest, even as long as 40 days! I, and many others, will be here whenever you are ready. 🙏💕👌🙏💕👍🙏💕😊🙏💕🙏

    Oh my! That is a lot going on! So glad your tests came back benign! ❤. I had such happen near a Christmas when my mom was dealing with breast cancer. I am adopted so I did not tell her…was just going to only if I had an issue! But she saw the appt on my calendar which made it soooo hard! I had a very serious infection years before that that took two surgeries where they removed lymph nodes in my arm, by the elbow first and then a week later the arm pit.. left them open. I had to shower and clean them 3 times a day and it ended up scarring the lymph node in my chest. So it ended up being scarring they saw! It was all good! They found it looked ok after Christmas but boy that was hard on my mom! And made it double hard on me! It was stressful and if I get a mammogram now, they do biopsies every darn time! Ugh! Yuck. But it can just derail you! Then moving? Yikes!!! Working that many hours on top of that!
    Dear you really take your time to settle and enjoy your family and come back when you are ready and it is a joy not an obligation! Prayers for you. Look forward to your return! ❤

    It is so good to see you! I’m so sorry of all the things you have been through. I had been wondering where you were. We will ALWAYS be here for you. I miss your videos so much. But seeing your beautiful face is such a relief. I’m so glad the tests came back negative. I am in a waiting game myself right now. So, sadly I am understanding completely how you felt. It isn’t easy, is it? I too just want to know if it’s positive or not. But- SO many tests and exams before they can even biopsy. It’s been 6 weeks and I don’t see the doctor for another 4. And then we schedule the surgeon and biopsy. I didn’t understand how long people wait to find out if they have cancer or not. Ugh. Horrible feeling. And in the process of possible cancer - I find out I have fluid around my heart and my kidneys are atrophied and scarred. All that from an abdominal CT for flank pain and possible kidney stone. There wasn’t a stone, but they sure found a multitude of other things wrong. I guess I should be thankful I had the flank pain and they ordered the CT scan? I am only 51. Life is short. Live Life fully and love what you do!!!!! It’s so important. We all take it for granted. As for you, I am so grateful you are negative. You sure have been through many of life’s most stressful events in a short time. Moving, Health scares, change of jobs (careers) etc. I think thats 3 of the top 5. Something like that. And possibly more you are not sharing. Please take the time you need and know we will always be here to watch your amazing transformations when you feel you can return. Good Luck Sara and know we are praying for you! Sending lots of love and hugs. XOXO ❤

      Oh man! I’m so sorry my heart is with you. I know what you mean the waiting and tests to find out do I or don’t I have it and then we had thanksgiving and Christmas in there which I think delayed everything further.
      You’re so right life is short and we had many a conversation with our kids reconciling that fact. It even changed how we did Christmas and instead of gifts we did memories. That was a beautiful time.
      Like I said my heart is with you and I’m sending hugs and prayers also. That there would be answers very soon.
      Much love 🥰

    I got a positive mammogram last January 2023. Went through more tests...biopsy, genetic testing. Found out that it was cancer in March. I do carry the gene. In July I finally had a bilateral mastectomy. The good news is that it was non-metastatic. So, no treatment. I can very much empathize with the waiting. I'm so glad that you are ok now.

    • @VintageAndPainted
      @VintageAndPainted  7 місяців тому

      Oh wow Holly! So humbled you shared that with me! So happy to hear it was non-metastatic and you didn't have to have treatment! And I am equally as glad that you are ok now.

    Take care of yourself and your family.....No. 1. We probably all have had those "wait and see" times in our life or will eventually and they are the worst! Glad you are benign and getting yourself reorganized. I will be patiently waiting for your fabulous videos and will learn from and enjoy every one of them. Was really great to see your face. Here in Wisconsin, I will always support you.

    Bless your huge heart Sarah! You are wonderful at sharing straight from the heart the good, the bad, the sad, and the happy moments of life. Thank you for being willing and able to share what you feel comfortable with and don’t worry one bit about anything else. Hope you are feeling more calm and peace as you move into this new year and take it easy. Savor the moments each day brings and don’t overwhelm yourself with that which doesn’t count in the end anyway. Thank you for all the smiles and I hope they boomerang back to you double. Take care. 😊
