    Thank you all for being here and for your sweet words. I am so beyond thankful for this community and can't wait to take you all along for the ride. I see your comments asking about my jacket, it's from Revolve. There are only a few left but I found something very similar! I've provided links below if you need them 😊

    Welllll.. in the last day we've gotten so many texts and phone calls about this video from our neighbor and friends. Beautiful! I'm the current owner of your old home at 142 Litchfield. The dog in the window is Lucy (Lucille). She's a Boxador (boxer/Lab mix) rescue from CAP. If you ever pass by again, drop me a line and you're welcome to see the inside of your childhood home again. I'd also LOVE to hear more about this neighborhood in the 70's/80's. We fell in love with this neighborhood the second we saw it online, when home searching and really is quite a unique place in Houston. 🤗

Legally, a release form should have been signed for that kind of shot. I've worked in the film industry, so I'm familiar. So thanks, but not only do I have a good "grip" on what is right and decent, but also what is legal.

    I also moved to DFW from Houston and the hardest part was leaving places that I shared memories with my parents and family. They all passed on before I moved so I felt a bit naked and vulnerable to move, as though I was moving on without them. But they've always been with me, just not physically. I still take those home town tours and visit all the homes, schools, neighborhoods, etc. of my childhood every time I am in Houston.

We lost Dad 3 years ago, entire family with him at home, was really beautiful but so, so hard. I k own I'll be grieving within the next few years again, and will be the one to find her, as I live here, but I guess it's my honor to her and my loving sisters to be ready and face this when it comes. I appreciate your love and devotion to your Mom...I feel the same way ❤

As I sit here in my mom's old bedroom, I feel her the most here. This house holds so many memories. I will be moving to a new town as a single woman of 53, and will be starting over. Dominique, you have no idea how much your videos have helped me, and this one is a favorite even though I shed a few tears. Thank you. I ordered your book, and I can't wait to read it.

Thank you for taking us down your memory lane Dominque. I too walked with you and remembered the freedom of play outside as a child, the endless hours at the pool, and wanting every item from the Limited Express. 😊 Remember the Guess jeans and the neon earrings? I’m convinced it was Express that started my love affair with all things French. Remember walking into the store to all cool, French music? 🎶 Great memories, thank you!

    I moved in 2012 to Califonia, specifically the East Bay, and lived in Walnut Creek, it was a big change for my wife and me. We missed the west side of town but grew to love Walnut Creek and the bay area. Minutes from San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkley were wonderful. The weather was great and the people were awesome. Made lots of new friends. We moved back to Texas at the end of 2021. It took me a while to get adjusted because I grew to love CA and made great memories with all we did while we lived in CA. I guess my point is that new memories will be formed with old friends that visit and new friends you make. It will be all good in the end. Good luck with the move and the change.

    In Dallas at the moment, just by pure chance due to work commitments. Never been in Texas, and might not come back here, but just saw this video the day you published it (I have been following you for a while). I am about to go back to Dublin (Ireland), actually on the plane, so just wanted to say just as plane is about to take off. Dear Dominique sending you a warm hug for this upcoming new chapter of your life. You are such a kind loving person, you only deserve the best dear. Lost my dad this Xmas but carry him on my heart, same as you do with your mum. May they give us strength ❤

    Seeing your mom made me cry, so I can imagine how hard it is for you. She however would be thrilled and so proud of you. You could do no wrong in her eyes and she is definitely watching over you and Styles. I'm very excited to see what you and Courtney will be up to in Dallas. I have family in Denton and McKinney. See ya soon.

    "And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose" Romans 8:28. I know my Dear Dominique, that you know for sure this verse of the Word of God, 'cause you are a spiritual woman, a believer in Jesus. So, rest in this beautiful promise of Abba. I´m a Mexican woman, I follow you years ago, sorry if my English is not precise or perfect, but many times I´ve wanted to tell you how much you have inspired my life, so this is the moment. Thank you for beign transparent, kind, wise, and so real woman, that has make in us a feeling of emphaty and we have felt identified with some of your experiences, and I also like your elegance, even when you are so casual. Well my dear Dominique, I'll pray for you, asking God this transition goes for you in joy and in peace, you leave Houston with beautiful memories in your heart, but the best you have and carry with you is the Spirit of God to help and guide and support you any time, any place. Saludos desde Cd. Juárez México querida Dominique.

Your such a strong woman, and im sure you will be very happy in your new assignment, you will have Courtney with you to share the exciting times. We are all looking forward to seeing your next journey. Best wishes and may God bless you, enjoy the next page in your journey through life Dominique. From a very cold U.K.

I could feel your sense of adventure and excitement in this video, while also feeling the loving presence of your mother. Your strength and courage are an inspiration.

    Wow Wow! I loved this, as it reminded me of four years ago when I left Austin, TX, my childhood home for Atlanta. Taking those walks and drives down memory lane before the big move. I hope you will have a special "drive out" song as you leave town for your new home.

    You are so lucky to have something that makes if difficult to say goodbye. This was such a heartfelt video. I even shed a little tear at the end when you were speaking about your mother. My sense is that you have worked very hard to bring uplifting material to us and now you are reaping somehting marvelous for yourself. Can't wait to actually hear what that is going to be!! I'm intrigued to know.

    Oh Dominique, thank you for taking us along on this journey. I've been watching your content for many years now, and I have learned so much from you during that time. I think what stands out to me the most is that your content evolves as you evolve, what you create today is quite different from those old days 'in the bathroom" (but gosh, I loved those videos too). You are always so authentic and real and true to yourself, and that is reflected in your content. May this next chapter of life bring you many blessings, we'll be here with you every step of the way xx

    Beautiful! Your video helped me more than I can express. I was in your position 4 years ago when I came to Sugarland to look after my mom and give my son a new lease on life. It was very difficult for me to leave my beloved Manhattan where I raised my son and have such beautiful and special memories. A crazy thing recently happened- I felt that the Houston area had become my home once again! Just like you will find your new City- it will not happen overnight, but it will happen when you least expect it.
    Congratulations on your new and special life.
    We will all miss you in Houston!
    All my best always,
