Oh Ali, you’ve been missed so much. Thank you for sharing with us your tale of woe, as you put it, you didn’t have to, but I think we all appreciate being taken into your confidence as you are genuinely loved, and have been missed, in the community you’ve built around your channel. My heart absolutely goes out to you, Theo, and your whole family to be honest. What a horrendous year you’ve all been enduring. I really hope that you are given more information, analysis and results around Theo’s condition. What an amazing son you have to go through all that pain, uncertainty and still come out with fabulous results with his GCSE’s, what an incredible core of determined strength. You are amazing parents, to have fostered that within him and the poem that your daughter wrote is another testament indeed. With much love, respect and admiration. 💕Louise
Oh Louise, I’ve missed you so much. Thank you for such a lovely comment, I don’t think I’m as admirable as you say 🤣 Thankyou also for sending me happy mail…it meant so much that you were still thinking of me. You are so kind of thoughtful and I’m very grateful to have you in my life. Sending love, Ali xxx
Welcome back Ali, it's so good to hear from you! I missed your videos and the positive energy you always bring with you. I'm happy everyone is doing better now! Wishing you all the best! 🤗🤗
Here in the US, tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I am so thankful to see you back. You have been through so much but you sounded wonderful. Fantastic to have you back.
The relief and joy I felt when I saw you had a video out❤. You and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers. I’m glad things are looking up. Still sending love and light for you all.
Ali! What a wonderful surprise to wake up to a new video from one of my favorite UA-camrs! I'm so sorry for what Theo and all of you have been through! I had a similar experience with my daughter when she was 16, which ended in open-heart surgery for her. It's horrible to watch your child suffer and feel like you can't help them. It's a traumatic thing to experience as a parent, and even 10 years later I still get emotional when I think about it. The important thing is that you were able to be there with him every step of the way, and he will always remember that. On a more positive note, it's wonderful to have you back in the land of UA-cam!
Oh my goodness! Open heart surgery sounds absolutely terrifying. I do hope that your daughter is well now! Thank you so much for your kind and supportive comment, I’m truly grateful! Sending you my very best wishes, Ali xxx
How utterly terrifying it must have been watching Theo in such pain and then having the terror that comes with waiting for the pathology report! I'm so grateful it wasn't cancer AND that you took time to tend to your own well being before returning here. We waited, and are glad you're back 🙏🏻
Welcome Back Ali!! I was so pleased to see your video pop up today! I’ve really missed your videos, and wondered what was keeping you away from us for so long. Now, I totally get it!! What an awful time you’ve had of it all. Glad your son is on the mend, and huge congratulations to him for doing so well….my twins did their GCSEs this summer too, and both did fantastically well too. Hopefully your daughter will soon be sorted with her divorce and you can all have a lovely start to 2025 together. Well done you , on firstly keeping it all together for your son, and then being sensible about taking the time you needed for you afterwards, to get yourself back on an even keel….that can’t have been easy after the things that had been happening this year, so you deserve a big pat on the back. So glad you’re back with us…..watching your videos made the Covid lockdowns more bearable …. And I’m already looking forward to the next one. But remember to look after yourself and give yourself whatever time you need to keep happy and healthy. Hope the dogs are doing well too!!! 😊
What a lovely comment. Thank you very much as I really appreciate your kindness. I’m very happy to hear that your twins did so well in their GCSEs too! I wish them lots of future success. Sending my best wishes to you and your family, Ali xxx
Good to see you again ! I really hope that you, your son and your niece will be fully recovered soon. Thank you for sharing your new setup, I‘m looking forward to the flipthrough. :)
So nice that you are back and very happy that you are feeling better. I have missed you. The poem of your daughter is so heartfelt, that I became teary with you. You climbed a mountain when your son became ill and you reached the top. I am just like you for I crumble, I fall once it’s over. I find the shame is the hardest to move forward even though you rationalize it, it still feels seems it’s not far away and can be threatening . Your son had quite an ordeal and I am so glad that he recovering. Love to have you back ❤ 🇨🇦
And thank you so much for your thoughtful and caring comment. I agree with you that shame is one of the hardest emotions to deal with and it is so often based on a negative self-evaluation which is not justified. The negative inner critic is almost always harsher than we deserve. Let’s hope we both have a positive, shame free 2025 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Take care, Ali xxx
Hello Ali, I’m so glad to see you back again ❤ so sorry to hear what a dreadful time your son and family have had this year. You did the right thing with removing yourself from social media and focussing on your son and then your own mental health. 2024 has been awful for me too and we had a dreadful diagnosis for my son. All we can do is be there for them unconditionally and take it one day at a time. So excited to watch your videos again xx
Oh Ali!! I am so so sorry to hear of all the hardships you and your family have endured this year. I pray things will get easier soon. But I am so happy to see you back here on UA-cam. We’ve missed you! I often thought about you these past few months. Lots of love xx
Oh yay..I’m so happy to hear from you. I hope you and your family are well. I’m sure your baby is growing really fast. I hope you are loving all his milestones. Thank you so much for your kind comment, sending you love, Ali xxx
Hello Ali, I became a subscriber in your absence. I binge watched you over a few weekends and then realised there wasn't a recent video so was disappointed. It's lovely to have you back. I am so sorry for all that you have been through. I think the worst thing is seeing our children in pain and not being able to help. It is so refreshing how honest you are about the struggles in life and you certainly made me feel I am not alone. I have mental health issues and everything is heightened when anything out of the ordinary happens. I love the escapism of my planners and they bring me comfort. I enjoyed watching you set up your notebook, you have a gift for making beautiful collages. 🙂
Welcome to my channel, it’s so lovely to have you here. Thank you also for your lovely comment. I’m so sorry to hear you also struggle with your mental health. I’m so happy to hear that, like me, you find journaling helps. I couldn’t have coped this year without my personal journal. I don’t share that one as it’s private…but the venting I do in there really helps me cope! Whereas my decorated journals are pure escapism just as you say! My best wishes to you, Ali xx
So lovely to see you back. I was thinking of you and kept checking to see if you’d posted anything. So glad your son is recovered now. What a horrible time you’ve had! Wishing you sunshine and roses now for a good long time.
Oh my goodness - i'm not surprised you haven't been able to make a video!!! your poor family, what an absolute ordeal. I'm so so pleased that everything is beginning to settle down, and you and your family's health and wellbeing is returning. I'm sure it sounds odd coming from a complete stranger but i've thought about you numerous times and hoped you're alright. As a fellow sufferer of CPTSD and to a much much lesser extent than your good self, a sufferer of dissociative disorder, I literally cannot begin to imagine how all of that must have impacted you. I hope your recovery from the years events remains strong. Thank you so much for making this video - what a brave and strong soul you are.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I’m so sorry that you are struggling with CPTSD as well….It’s certainly not easy. But we survived! That’s what’s important! You are I. My thoughts, best wishes, Ali xxx
Hi Ali, lovely to see you back, and I am sorry this has been such a terrible year for you and your family. I'm glad things are getting better and wishing you well for the rest of 2025 and the coming year! 💖💐
Thank you so much! It’s so lovely to hear from you again. I look forward to getting back to watching you tube videos as well as making them. I always enjoy yours! Take care, Ali x
Hello Ali, so happy to see you back, you have been missed! I am sorry to hear about everything happening in your family but glad things are looking up! Welcome back! ❤
Hi Ali! So happy to see you back on. I really missed you! 2024 has really been something for the both of us. I thank God that your son is healthy and feeling better and that my husband is also better. 🍷 Here’s to 2025 being a better year! Stay well and positive! Really enjoyed your video!
Ali, YOUR BACK!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 whoop whoop, i did a wave overhere. So glad you are in ‘better weather’ now. Glad your son us much better now. Love to here you again. Send you hughs ❤❤❤❤and 💕 love.
Thank you so much Jackie, and thank you as well for the happy mail you sent. It meant so much to be remembered and thought of. You’re the best, Ali xxx
@dabblinginjournals 💗💗💗your welcome Ali. I have a card from you in my hobonichi cover on cover and because it is my daily journal i see it every day and i think a lot of you. So nice you are feeling much better now. 🩵🩵🥳🥳
So lovely to see you back and thank you for sharing. Oh my, I was tearing up when you read your daughters poem. What a beautiful thing ❤ love it! I wish you and your family better times and lots of love. I can understand that difficult times can throw our life into chaos and making videos are low on the priority list 😂 I can only imagine the stress of not knowing why your son was in pain and just everything happening oh my! I’m so sorry for you and all the challenges. Life is just so hard sometimes, like you can’t catch a break 😅 You are so right that we just have to be there for our loved ones ❤ keep going 💪 love to you ❤
At last I had time to watch and to listen to you properly. What an ordeal to go through! Any mother would have had a nervous breakdown after going through so much suffering and anxiety with her child. Sending you hugs and warm wishes, Ali. You are a wonderful mum, your daughtr's poem is a gorgeous testemony of it. I'm wishing her and her children to get through this difficult time as well as possible 🥰
Hello Ali, so lovely to see you back, I was thrilled to see a new video from you, I checked my subscriptions regularly in the hopes that you would return 😊 What an awful time you and your family have had but relieved to hear that things are beginning to get better for you all. You have been on my mind so much over these last few months. The poem from your daughter is beautiful and it just shows the deep love you have for your children. I hope Theo has regained his health and strength and that you are recovered from your fall. Love your journal set up and looking forward to seeing it evolve. Take care my friend. Dawn ❤
Hi Dawn ….its so lovely to hear from you! Thank you so much for sending me happy mail, despite me being ‘absent’ and I’m so sorry I haven’t replied sooner as it meant so much to me. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness and kindness. I’ll be I. Touch soon. Sending you love, Ali xxx
It's so lovely to see you back. I thought you might have quit UA-cam. I'm sorry to hear about your son and niece's illness. I wish them both recovery and healthy days. The story of your fall was very scary. It's good to know that you are safe and healing now.
ALI!!! I’m so glad to see a video from you!! I’m excited to watch, though I’m so sorry to hear you haven’t had a good few months. I am so sorry to hear about Theo. I have been thinking about you and him and your family all through out wishing him good health. So glad it’s not cancer! Fantastic news. Though still being diagnosed must be really hard!! Sounds like you’ve all been through it. I’m so sorry it’s happened. I’m glad you can journal again, I hope you are doing it privately and it’s helping you. That’s the ultimate goal with journaling I think! Little pockets of joy! I have wondering if I should email you this whole time but didn’t want to bother you. But know I’ve been thinking about you all and sending you hugs 💛
Oh Emily it’s so lovely to hear from you. I hope you are doing ok. You have been in my thoughts too. Are you still at the same address? I have a little gift that I bought for you, gosh maybe a year ago 🤦♀️it really is about time I sent it too you 🤣🤣. Sending you lots of love, Ali xxx
Dear Ali, You're back, yay! ❤ I was worried and thought of you on Halloween and autumn in general. You and your family went through horrible times and of course your priority is your son! I'm happy he is better now and that it's not cancer. When you said he cut his hair I was like "uh-oh😮".... And you sound as lovely as ever! I wish you and your loved ones live through calm and easier times from now on. These episodes you had sound scary, thank you for sharing and educating, so more people can understand what it means to live with PTSD. Hugs and love! 🧡
Oh my it’s so lovely to hear from you…I’ve missed you and I’m so happy to be back now! I’ve been especially thinking of you this week as I have repurposed one of the lovely gifts you sent to me. It will be featuring in the video after next. I hope you and your lovely family are well. Lots of love to you, Ali xxx
❤️❤️ Ali! I’ve been thinking of you and hoping that you and your family was ok. I thought about Theo too, knowing he was ill. So happy that everyone is on the mend. 2024 has not been kind to my family either, there were months when I felt like I couldn’t breathe, but it’s starting to settle down and I’m so appreciative. I’ve missed you. Your daughter’s poem was heart warming/breakingly beautiful. I hope she will find her happiness. Hardships make the good times more precious right?
That is so true Marie! I’m sorry to hear that you have been struggling too. It’s so lovely to hear from you again. As always I am grateful for your support and kindness! Take care, Ali xxx
Oh gosh Ali, what a year you’ve had. I was thinking only the other week I was hoping you were ok mentally only it was worse than that! Nothing is more worrying than our children being ill. I was 17 when I experienced abdominal surgery for a burst appendix and I can remember the shocking pain I had when I woke up, I thought my pain would be gone, not 100% worse! I really hope that’s the end of it for him and he gets back to enjoying life again. And how scary for you not to remember what you have done in a dissociative state, I am so pleased you’re feeling better now. Like you, I go into “emergency mode” and cope quite well with sudden life events, then fall apart afterwards. And finally I hope your niece continues to get better. And that 2025 is better. Looking forward to your next video - did you buy any of the Misopaper anniversary release? I bought a coffee patch, the dividers, washi and the lovely A5 pouch. Hugs, Kathryn x
Thank you for your lovely, kid and thoughtful comment. I really appreciate you making the time to be so supportive. And yes, I was so lucky, the first time I’d looked at a stationery shop in months, and I was just in time to snag the A5 pouch. I’ll be sharing it in my next video! Sending you my very best wishes, Ali xxx
The circle of people dancing is a famous picture from Henri Matisse- named " the dance". You can find the first one in the Museum of Modern Art and the second one in the Erimitage in St. Petersburg.Greetings from Germany 😊Good wishes

You have been on my mind so much over these last few months. The poem from your daughter is beautiful and it just shows the deep love you have for your children.

Love your journal set up and looking forward to seeing it evolve.
Take care my friend. Dawn ❤

It's so lovely to see you back. I thought you might have quit UA-cam. I'm sorry to hear about your son and niece's illness. I wish them both recovery and healthy days. The story of your fall was very scary. It's good to know that you are safe and healing now.
Thank you so much. I’m so happy to feel well enough to be back. I would be very sad to quit you tube as I love it! Take care, Ali xxx
We have missed you so much! Happy holidays from Alabama
Thank you so much and happy holidays to you too, Ali xxx
ALI!!! I’m so glad to see a video from you!! I’m excited to watch, though I’m so sorry to hear you haven’t had a good few months.
I am so sorry to hear about Theo. I have been thinking about you and him and your family all through out wishing him good health. So glad it’s not cancer! Fantastic news. Though still being diagnosed must be really hard!!
Sounds like you’ve all been through it. I’m so sorry it’s happened. I’m glad you can journal again, I hope you are doing it privately and it’s helping you. That’s the ultimate goal with journaling I think! Little pockets of joy!
I have wondering if I should email you this whole time but didn’t want to bother you. But know I’ve been thinking about you all and sending you hugs 💛
Oh Emily it’s so lovely to hear from you. I hope you are doing ok. You have been in my thoughts too. Are you still at the same address? I have a little gift that I bought for you, gosh maybe a year ago 🤦♀️it really is about time I sent it too you 🤣🤣. Sending you lots of love, Ali xxx
@ I am! I have happy
Mail to send to you too!! 😂
I am so happy that you are back! I literally screamed when your video came up - we missed you very much 🥰🥰🥰
You're the best! Thank you so much, Ali xx
Yay! So nice to have you back. I've missed you
Thank you so much, I’m so happy to be back! My best wishes to you, Ali x
omg, you're back!! I was wondering what happened. Great to see you
Thank you!! I’m very happy to be back, take care, Ali xxx
Dear Ali,
You're back, yay! ❤
I was worried and thought of you on Halloween and autumn in general. You and your family went through horrible times and of course your priority is your son! I'm happy he is better now and that it's not cancer. When you said he cut his hair I was like "uh-oh😮".... And you sound as lovely as ever! I wish you and your loved ones live through calm and easier times from now on. These episodes you had sound scary, thank you for sharing and educating, so more people can understand what it means to live with PTSD.
Hugs and love! 🧡
Oh my it’s so lovely to hear from you…I’ve missed you and I’m so happy to be back now! I’ve been especially thinking of you this week as I have repurposed one of the lovely gifts you sent to me. It will be featuring in the video after next. I hope you and your lovely family are well. Lots of love to you, Ali xxx
I'm so happy to see you back. And so glad your son is OK. 🙏
Thank you so much for your kindness , Ali xx
A lovely catch up today. Thank you, Ali❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thankyou for taking the time to comment, my best wishes, Ali xx
❤ Great to have you back! Sorry to hear of your woes. I hope 2025 is a better year for you and your family.
I hope so too! Thank you for your kindness, Ali xx
❤️❤️ Ali! I’ve been thinking of you and hoping that you and your family was ok. I thought about Theo too, knowing he was ill. So happy that everyone is on the mend. 2024 has not been kind to my family either, there were months when I felt like I couldn’t breathe, but it’s starting to settle down and I’m so appreciative. I’ve missed you. Your daughter’s poem was heart warming/breakingly beautiful. I hope she will find her happiness. Hardships make the good times more precious right?
That is so true Marie! I’m sorry to hear that you have been struggling too. It’s so lovely to hear from you again. As always I am grateful for your support and kindness! Take care, Ali xxx
Oh gosh Ali, what a year you’ve had. I was thinking only the other week I was hoping you were ok mentally only it was worse than that! Nothing is more worrying than our children being ill. I was 17 when I experienced abdominal surgery for a burst appendix and I can remember the shocking pain I had when I woke up, I thought my pain would be gone, not 100% worse! I really hope that’s the end of it for him and he gets back to enjoying life again. And how scary for you not to remember what you have done in a dissociative state, I am so pleased you’re feeling better now. Like you, I go into “emergency mode” and cope quite well with sudden life events, then fall apart afterwards. And finally I hope your niece continues to get better. And that 2025 is better. Looking forward to your next video - did you buy any of the Misopaper anniversary release? I bought a coffee patch, the dividers, washi and the lovely A5 pouch. Hugs, Kathryn x
Thank you for your lovely, kid and thoughtful comment. I really appreciate you making the time to be so supportive. And yes, I was so lucky, the first time I’d looked at a stationery shop in months, and I was just in time to snag the A5 pouch. I’ll be sharing it in my next video! Sending you my very best wishes, Ali xxx
❤
Take care.
Thank you so much…you too, Ali xx

The circle of people dancing is a famous picture from Henri Matisse- named " the dance". You can find the first one in the Museum of Modern Art and the second one in the Erimitage in St. Petersburg.Greetings from Germany 😊Good wishes
That is SO interesting! Thank you for taking the time to tell me about the painting! I’m very grateful, my best wishes to you, Ali xxx
"Travelers Company" refers to the brand that creates the "Traveler's Notebook" and other related stationery items, while "Travelers Factory" is essentially a physical store owned by Travelers Company where you can experience and customize their products, often with a focus on community and a "travel-themed" atmosphere; essentially, "Travelers Company" is the brand, and "Travelers Factory" is a retail space showcasing that brand.
That’s really clear and helpful…thank you so much for taking the trouble. My best wishes to you, Ali xx
