That moment after your talk with RJ, when you choked on your words IS THE REASON WHY I love watching your videos. You are SO YOU! And that is what makes you perfectly wonderful! It’s what makes you relatable, accessible, and fun to watch. Please don’t stop! ✨🙏❤
It took my channel 11 years before it even hit 1000 subs. Many times I wanted to quit but I kept going. I've found that scrutinizing the analytics and number of views will only make you depressed. It's incredibly difficult to get anywhere on You Tube. There are hundreds of millions of channels all trying to get noticed. It has nothing to do with your value as a human being. You have a wonderful life, a nice home and a loving family. That makes you a success in my book. I've been a creator for 15 years. Never made a penny, and I don't care. I've made a lot of wonderful friends on here. Your videos always make me smile and I'm not alone in that. ❤😻
@@VEGTheAgingHippie wow! So hard to believe because I know how much work you put into your videos: I watched the last one on my big screen and you said the intro alone took you 2 hours to edit. I want you to know I never skip the intro. I’m always intrigued on how you make those groovy designs behind you! It blows my mind really and I can’t understand why others wouldn’t also have found it intriguing sooner. I forgot to come back to leave a comment. I don’t know how to leave comments when I watching tv. I’ll circle back.
@@Lifeinthewyldewest Meh, I don't expect anything from You Tube anymore. My entire life I've been involved in creative pursuits. I was a professional artist for many years and I managed to have a little success at that. I've also played keyboards and sang in a couple of bar bands. One thing that I've learned over all these years, is that no matter how good you are at something, if you aren't advantaged in some way, it counts for very little. By advantaged I mean knowing the right people or coming from a rich family. I'm at a point in my life where old age is catching up with me. I'm 67 and have all kinds of health problems. The things that used to be important to me are meaningless in the long run. What truly matters is that I've been with my wife since I was 20 and we still love each other. I still do You Tube because it gives me a way to express myself and connect with like minded people. I don't think that I've even looked at how many views a video gets in years. Whew, this is a long comment and I don't know if YT will delete it. I just wanted you to know that worrying about this platform is a waste of time and energy. Just be you and if you enjoy making videos that's great. Keep making them and the people who matter will keep watching them.
This is real. This type of video is relatable. We watch because we like you! And we all have days (weeks!) where we just don't function. Videos like this remind us that we aren't alone.
Information overload is real! I love watching you, you’re so authentic. Lol, Facebook can be overwhelming, I took a break too but came back for UA-cam. It’s okay not to know your purpose, I am 51 and I don’t know mine either. Just keep being you. Sending lots of love!💚
@@JasenomadeTV thanks for watching Jase, I feel the same about how authentic you are. Maybe our purpose is to just be ourselves and love and I should stop putting this pressure on myself.
Omgosh... your video came up just at the right time, girl! I am feeling like sh!t today. So I can totally relate. I am really proud of you for filming even though you didn't feel like it. I don't have that in me. It makes you really relatable. RJ gave you great advice! I love knowing you have a good, profound relationship with your daughter. I love being able to talk to my daughter in an "adult" way. Anyway, thank you for posting. It brought me comfort in this gloomy day. ♡
@@LivingLifewithJudith I hate to hear my buddy is feeling like crap. I’m hoping soon you will be the adventurous Judith I get to see riding her motorcycle. RJ is such a wise young/old soul! I’m thankful for her. Sending you healing wishes and lots of love.
This is how I feel too. Maybe people just don’t like me. It is what it is and I can’t force them to like me. I might have to stop doing analytic videos because I did one yesterday and it really brought my mood way down seeing all those numbers that barely move. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I ask and nobody tells me or gives me suggestions or ideas. Really makes ya just feel ignored. Thanks for this video, I needed it. 💕
YT is not for the faint of heart. I like you and love to hear your stories between cleaning and I think you are so well spoken on your analytics videos. You seem to really know your stuff. I just know for me it has to be a mind shift. I’m going to try my best to have an attitude of just doing what I love, keeping at it and going in with extremely low expectations or no expectations so I’m not disappointed every other day😊
@@Lifeinthewyldewest I need to remind myself to focus on why I’m here…because I love creating content! Thank you for the reminder to shift my thinking. Sometimes I get stuck in a thought pattern and it takes a jolt to get me out of it. 💕
I love this video. I had a “moment” for a week last week. Too much drama like Everywhere! I told Jim to not read stuff off X before bedtime. I’m doing great today! I watched a video about being older than 40 and she said we need to rest more and spend more time with friends hence I’m watching your videos. Basically nurture ourselves because our adrenals are taking over some of the work. So yeah I’m much happier since learning that. Here’s a secret: Beauty, truth and goodness. That’s what it’s all about. I love your authentic self. ❤❤❤
@@DanielleRosaria I always feel very connected with you like we really truly appreciate the little big things. Today I also had a better day. I woke up and said, it’s a new day. I deleted FB and IG off my phone as to not be tempted to scroll.
@@Lifeinthewyldewest That’s huge! The social media get be so overwhelming. I stay off Reddit now for the most part. It was consuming me for several years. I wasted a lot of time. I still love UA-cam. It’s not as addictive and there’s a lot of good videos to learn from. I hope you have a restful nurturing day! “Nurturing” is my pet word right now. ❤️🌱
Your words DO have power. You are reaching people. I love hanging out with you. We need you here. As long as you keep having fun…keep going. I love that you are gentle with yourself. And also HEY, INFP here, too.
@@RobinsonKris you get it then being an INFP too! Doesn’t surprise me that we are both the same. It’s probably why I resonate with your channel and the wisdom you share.
Thank you for sharing your heart, Tracie. I feel the same way when it comes to my author journey... I try to stay away from analytics and just do my own thing, but it's HARD! Big hugs.
@@crnnoel08 it really is hard isn’t it? I’m still looking for some down time to read your book and get lost in the stories you share. My days seem to just go so fast and I’m working so hard on this channel and “networking” It’s taken so much of my time.
Oh my goodness!!! We are such sensitive creatures aren’t we. I know I am. I’ve been super successful in a lot of areas of my life and I’ve gotta say UA-cam is humbling. Humbling!! I was just saying to Anne Livingston yesterday, slow and steady we are the tortoises! Here’s what I know: UA-cam needs our voices. GenX is under represented and our particular viewpoint is important. We’ve gone through some shit and come through the other side. UA-cam needs your particular voice. You are creative, fun, inspiring and a connector. Those are gifts!! And I want to apologize for even sharing the don’t film in your kitchen video! You are fine in your kitchen. It’s warm. It’s inviting. Here’s my pact: we can stop watching how to do UA-cam videos because they are awful and make us feel like garbage. We can stop looking at analytics because who cares. It doesn’t change anything we are doing , except they make us feel terrible. We can celebrate every small thing along the way But mostly I hope you just keep being you. Because I like you the way you are.
@@beautifullifesageg.3951, right? I also believe this kind of real connection is one of GenX's superpowers. We get how to be a pack. I mean, heck-we may be bratty, but we are a pack! Plus, Tracie and you are lovely. Feeling discouraged is part of living, but I know there is so much joy under that discouragement.
@@JackieWolven I just LOVE you and your words of insight and wisdom. I wish at times all of us GenXers who are sharing our thoughts, talents and lives on YT could all be in one place together. We do have lots to offer and we do belong here and I can’t thank you enough for your support and your words. Peace and Love to you. Also no worries about that video you shared! I’m still filming in my kitchen🤣 cause this bratty GenXer could care less what she said…along with Dr. Phil. I do what I want 😆 another perk of aging!
@@Lifeinthewyldewest oh absolutely fuck Dr. Phil. 😂 and the glory of being wise and GenX is that you get to do life and UA-cam your way! Hugs, sister!! 😍
This video is so funny! Glad you found my channel so I could find yours. My house was supposed to be a 5 year plan as well 🤣. Just subscribed. Let's Go Gen X!
This is all so relatable! We all have days where it’s harder to see the good and sometimes a good chat with a loved one or a snuggle with a cat helps ❤ Analytics can be so upsetting and I agree with RJ, put your blinders on and just do you!! You are funny and endearing and creative… the right followers will come 😊
@@Juliannaebrown JJ that is the sweetest thing to say. It was so good to see you today. You had me laughing with your mama B stories at the Willy Nelson concert🤣 best of all, you love to come sit and chat with this old lass!
Tracie, I have watched so many influencers on Utube videos and some people on their channels or whatever they are called talk about negative responses from people and they say it also bothers them and that these remarks totally erase the good moments. You are so interesting to me because you are so real! All of these people that make some big buck on their channels get some very negative remarks. I think the person that told you that you Ecco in your kitchen was only trying to give you positive information I don’t think she was trying to be mean. Maybe you were just having a day that many of us have when are just not feeling very good about ourselves. I love you and I’m not just saying any of this because I’m your mom……you are a true inspiration ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@lindathompson4945 oh no mom. I didn’t get a bad comment. I watched another influencer giving advice about how creators in general should video etc. one of her tips was not to film in the kitchen and basically I could care less cause it’s where I love to film:) and so I’ll keep on doing it. Thank you for seeing how real I try and be. I do try to be my authentic self and that’s why I couldn’t care less about that advice. Maybe I said it in a confusing way. Thank you for being so supportive mama fox.
I created my video after months of not posting all because of this video... To know that I am not the only person that struggles with this gives me hope... I feel like I can breathe. Thank you for creating that space ❤
You have permission to feel however you want to feel. Stay positive, keep plugging away and all will fall in place as it should. Information overload is all around each of us. Hard to determine what is true and what is not. AI certainly doesn't help as it replicates people saying things that they never had said. The conspiracy theories float all around us trying to drag us into them. Be you, be authentic, be the good human being you are and people will seek you out. Take care Tracie, my thoughts are with you and I'm sending positive vibes in your direction.
@@EmbraceTheJourney I wish we had more Tee’s in our world. Today was a much better day. I woke up to a new day and had a great visit with my mom and niece and when I got home I got to visit with our girl and her best friend which is like an adopted daughter and it just felt exactly right.
I do t have a good concept of time when I’m not working or actually at work. After work, at home, days off, vacation,I notice time passing, but I don’t realize the impact of that. I think with HSP’s, we are more attuned to our inner world. And since the concept of time is a structure that’s been imposed on us, we don’t always connect with it easily. That said, I kind of like it that way. 😊
This is one of my favorite videos of yours I’ve seen. I’m also an INFP who loves people but needs lots of space to process things alone. I used to think I was shy but now I know it was just autism. 😂 I’m not shy, I just am easily overwhelmed and sometimes don’t know how to respond in certain social situations. I loved when you sat down with RJ and she offered you words of wisdom that I’m willing to bet she has heard from you at some point or she is just wise. Thanks for sharing your authentic self and being willing to be vulnerable with us. We are lucky to have you. On another note… I think you are ahead of schedule for number of subscribers based on how long you have been making videos. I watched a bunch of videos on statistics of new channels when I started my channel in 2020. Based on the numbers I figured I would hit 1000 subscribers my kids Senior year of high school. That makes me a tiny bit ahead of schedule but my watch hours are still lagging. Anyway…. You’re are miles ahead of where I was when my channel was a year old. Also growth is exponential… so the slowest part is behind you. Also look at your engagement! So many comments, you are really building a community.
@@heatherinde I really value what you have to say and also impressed with your mind for analytics and numbers. This is encouraging for me to hear. I do feel as if I’ve somehow created a connective community. You too, I love how you engage with your subscribers. You are one of my favs and OG’s and I always want to stay close with some of the first people and creators I’ve met while here. How awesome we are both INFP’s I’ve met a good hand full of INFJ’s but not as many INFP’s… no wonder I relate with you so well♥️ thank you for your love here today. It’s always appreciated. I also loved seeing you celebrate your first 1,000 although I missed the live I still enjoyed your confetti pops and joy I got to witness as they showered you and your ceiling with pure well deserved celebration!
Uuuuummm, why aren't we neighbors?!!! *pouting about that* I just loved watching this, so real and fun and silly and true... all the things!! But back to being neighbors, I'd totally come over for coffee in my jammie pants and hoodie whenever you'd let me. It's what I live in! I'm glad you're going to keep going, as you are delightful, and I'm glad that at least our virtual paths have crossed. 🥰
@@WatercolorKari I’m quite drawn to you as well. I wanted to come home yesterday from antiquing and draw a popsicle with you…however family emergency arose and that was no longer an option. Maybe today. Today I feel mentally exhausted and it may be just what I need.
I feel like I spent the day with my best friend, just hangin out, talking about this and that❤️😊 That Dr Phil quote has always stuck with me too!!! And, you’re right, he doesn’t know everything lol! I never knew before starting YT about the analytics, it is a slippery slope, I have to love on the high achiever in me and tell her it’s not about that, at least DAILY if not hourly🥵😭🥵😭 I love your heart Tracie, I see you, and am grateful you share who you are with us❤️🥰
@@starchyshauna I’m so glad we found each other on YT! I love to see your excitement and energy on your channel when you achieve big things! I’m proud of you.
Hi Tracie! Swinging by your channel from mine as promised 😊 You’re right, our channels are quite different but I can relate to what you’re saying and the humour you show made me smile too! PS I have to use a magnifying mirror too 😅 I feel our sight deteriorates so we don’t see exactly what’s happening to our faces 😂 Keep creating ✨
@@Helen5over50 this makes me happy. I love meeting people different from me because this is how we learn new things. I always want to be learning and growing.
New subbie here...I love your personality...listen you will get there alot of the time it's yt an them changing so many things and can never just leave what's working alone. Stay strong keep being yourself u will kinda have those moments of Plato but words absolutely have power and I absolutely appreciate your true raw authentic self. I don't think your doing anything wrong at all. I've been where your at an it's absolutely hard bc of the numbers an all of that but just keep making videos sweetie don't look at the numbers. Try something fun with your audience in your community tab or during a video. You def got this!!! I'm glad you can across in my home feed!!! I know we r in different niches but hey I felt everything you was feeling an sating as well. Sending all my love strength 💪 ❤️
@@SUGARDECLIPSENails so happy to meet you Crystal! I woke up and saw your comment on another of my videos! Then I went to your channel and watched you take your nails off and clean your work station and met your cat Noah! You have encouraged me so very much and I also subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your encouragement as I see your channel is a great success! Makes so much sense because you’re talented, funny and down to earth all at once! I’m also excited to hear you found me on your home page! What great news for me! Again thanks so much. Made my day!
@@piperlilythrifts boy is it! Sometimes. Like the dough better than the cookie..lol actually let’s not kid ourselves, I prefer the dough 😆 thank you for stopping by! I went antiquing yesterday, you would have loved it.
I love your video! So real and relatable!! It would have been funny to see you peeking over the fence with the camera on the other side. I know not doable but I was just imagining that. I love your cats! So cute! Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your struggle!
Thank you Jen, this mean a lot. I'm not sure how this comment got lost for me, just found it:). I hate when I lose a comment. I hope you're doing well.
You will watch this later on and reflect on how much things have changed! Don’t give up. But I’m learning on my own YT journey that there are some metrics that you really need to pay attention to, but others that when numbers go down you must not doubt yourself! Every new video is a chance to advance. Hang in there, we are with you! 🙏🏻
Hi Amy, my goodness why did it take me 2 months to find this comment. Thank you for understanding. I will be sure to stop by your channel too and see what's going on. I clicked your profile and see you have a successful channel over there!!!
The carrot juice has been in a jar with the lid screwed shut...I wonder how the potency escaped to? Did it dig its way out of the bottom of the jar...a bit like the Great Escape😳? I would have drank the juice for sure 😂 I am an introvert too INTJ . I was once asked about my facial care routine and had to admit that I rarely took off my make-up at night 😳🙄 and mostly just use water, soap and a flannel to wash my face before applying my make-up again. I'm totally with you on the analytics thing...I have no idea why things happen as they do and I really don't think it makes a blind bit of difference what we do or don't do, youtube will do what youtube wants to do. Loved the video and it has inspired me for my next video. I've been tired all week and found doing anything a really up hill battle. Much love to you and your daughter, Imi xxxx❤
@@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc I want to look up the traits and strengths of a INTJ! We sound so similar I mean we both start with IN! You make me laugh! Darn carrot juice escaping! I can’t wait for your next video.
How's the escaping carrot juice this morning? I have a vision of it sitting in that jar with a little lock pick, hammer and other escaping implements, just waiting for the fridge door to open and then WHAM!!! It will be off, running out of your kitchen before you can catch up with it. You'll be following in your PJ's shouting "Come back Barbara, I won't eat you!" but all will have been too late because it's super charged carrot juice and you had lost even before the fridge door was opened....okay I'll stop there before you have me pegged as a crazy lady! 🤣 I've just looked up INTJ and I have to say it's pretty accurate for me. Who knew eh? Have a lovely day and be very careful when opening your fridge ❤xxx
@@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc I looked it up last night too! You are called the architect. You love doing your own research and holy smokes, I’ve just met you and I already know it to be true. You figured out how to help your RLS ! You have excellent discernment regarding people and you can tell who is a genuine person. I loved all I read about INTJ’s. I don’t even think you are a crazy woman….you are my kind of creative mind. I was giggling as I sit here with my coffee and thought Imi would be a great children’s book author! My kind of gal. I just looked at I think it’s 2 pm for you and I’m just waking up. Spending the day with my mom and I think I’m going to give her the Myer Briggs test while we drive to the cemetery.
I just did a video. Similar. I have shut down most of my videos and I’m in a very sad and odd state of mind. I love videos like this that aren’t so polished and perfect. That’s just not life and creatures who portray that make it harder for us who are trying to just breathe. ❤
@@Mindfulmaven7 I will go watch your video. I’m already subscribed, I see that. I see you just left 2. This isn’t an easy place to be and my heart feels for you. Sending you strength and love and it means a lot to me that you watched and left a comment.
@@Lifeinthewyldewest haha, I meant creators but the phone decided to call them creatures. 😆 I hope to get back to it, but for now I am feeling empty. I hope you keep creating because videos like this make me enjoy UA-cam. Appreciate your presence on here and in this world. 🤍
I haven’t been able to watch a lot of youtube lately. I enjoy your videos. I’ve wanted to do this type of video but I’m not sure if it would work for me. Lots of traffic. Pretty cats you have. Now it’s Sept. 17
Thanks for watching this older video of mine. When you mention "this type" do you mean like changing scenery or walking around all over the place (lol). kind of like a vlog? It's for sure not for everyone. I love to just sit and listen in on us other UA-camrs that talk like we are having coffee or tea together, they are relaxing and this is how I feel when I have watched a couple of your videos.
Hello Tracie, you must be fine. I visited your channel and analyzed some videos. Your video quality is very good but your channel is not SEO done Properly, due to which channel growth is very low. Also, your video is not SEO done with rank tag SEO score is poor. In short, SEO optimizes your channel properly, and every video needs to be SEO which will promote your channel and double the video view
That moment after your talk with RJ, when you choked on your words IS THE REASON WHY I love watching your videos. You are SO YOU! And that is what makes you perfectly wonderful! It’s what makes you relatable, accessible, and fun to watch. Please don’t stop! ✨🙏❤

But mostly I hope you just keep being you. Because I like you the way you are.
❤❤❤❤❤. This is the kind of community and connection we are striving for. So beautiful to read these supportive and gentle words. 😊
@@beautifullifesageg.3951, right? I also believe this kind of real connection is one of GenX's superpowers. We get how to be a pack. I mean, heck-we may be bratty, but we are a pack! Plus, Tracie and you are lovely. Feeling discouraged is part of living, but I know there is so much joy under that discouragement.
@@JackieWolven I just LOVE you and your words of insight and wisdom. I wish at times all of us GenXers who are sharing our thoughts, talents and lives on YT could all be in one place together. We do have lots to offer and we do belong here and I can’t thank you enough for your support and your words. Peace and Love to you.
Also no worries about that video you shared! I’m still filming in my kitchen🤣 cause this bratty GenXer could care less what she said…along with Dr. Phil. I do what I want 😆 another perk of aging!
@@Lifeinthewyldewest oh absolutely fuck Dr. Phil. 😂 and the glory of being wise and GenX is that you get to do life and UA-cam your way! Hugs, sister!! 😍
@@JackieWolven 🤣🤣🤣love you Jackie absolutely love you
This video is so funny! Glad you found my channel so I could find yours. My house was supposed to be a 5 year plan as well 🤣. Just subscribed. Let's Go Gen X!
@@Esscapades thank you Ess⚡️
Glad I found your channel. I’ve subscribed.
Keep going!
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 I’m so happy you are here! Thank you for subscribing!
This is all so relatable! We all have days where it’s harder to see the good and sometimes a good chat with a loved one or a snuggle with a cat helps ❤ Analytics can be so upsetting and I agree with RJ, put your blinders on and just do you!! You are funny and endearing and creative… the right followers will come 😊
@@recreatingcaitlin Caitlin♥️ I love that you get it. I’m so glad to know you and have your support. Your words mean a lot.
This was a breath of fresh air to watch, you're so real and your heart is pure. I love everything about you. You're my angel on earth
@@Juliannaebrown JJ that is the sweetest thing to say. It was so good to see you today. You had me laughing with your mama B stories at the Willy Nelson concert🤣 best of all, you love to come sit and chat with this old lass!
Truly inspirational, thank you ❤❤❤
@@APRWorldTravel thank you truly! I shared your channel in my playlist for us smaller channels⚡️
Tracie, I have watched so many influencers on Utube videos and some people on their channels or whatever they are called talk about negative responses from people and they say it also bothers them and that these remarks totally erase the good moments. You are so interesting to me because you are so real! All of these people that make some big buck on their channels get some very negative remarks. I think the person that told you that you Ecco in your kitchen was only trying to give you positive information I don’t think she was trying to be mean. Maybe you were just having a day that many of us have when are just not feeling very good about ourselves. I love you and I’m not just saying any of this because I’m your mom……you are a true inspiration ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@lindathompson4945 oh no mom. I didn’t get a bad comment. I watched another influencer giving advice about how creators in general should video etc. one of her tips was not to film in the kitchen and basically I could care less cause it’s where I love to film:) and so I’ll keep on doing it. Thank you for seeing how real I try and be. I do try to be my authentic self and that’s why I couldn’t care less about that advice. Maybe I said it in a confusing way. Thank you for being so supportive mama fox.
I created my video after months of not posting all because of this video... To know that I am not the only person that struggles with this gives me hope... I feel like I can breathe. Thank you for creating that space ❤
@@kimberlygibson3 still set for tomorrow? I’m there for it and feel honored I could inspire you with this video❤️❤️❤️
@@Lifeinthewyldewest yes still set for tomorrow
You have permission to feel however you want to feel. Stay positive, keep plugging away and all will fall in place as it should. Information overload is all around each of us. Hard to determine what is true and what is not. AI certainly doesn't help as it replicates people saying things that they never had said. The conspiracy theories float all around us trying to drag us into them. Be you, be authentic, be the good human being you are and people will seek you out. Take care Tracie, my thoughts are with you and I'm sending positive vibes in your direction.
@@EmbraceTheJourney I wish we had more Tee’s in our world. Today was a much better day. I woke up to a new day and had a great visit with my mom and niece and when I got home I got to visit with our girl and her best friend which is like an adopted daughter and it just felt exactly right.
I do t have a good concept of time when I’m not working or actually at work. After work, at home, days off, vacation,I notice time passing, but I don’t realize the impact of that. I think with HSP’s, we are more attuned to our inner world. And since the concept of time is a structure that’s been imposed on us, we don’t always connect with it easily. That said, I kind of like it that way. 😊
@@beautifullifesageg.3951 I have no concept of time. I had no idea there was a reason for that. 🤯
This is one of my favorite videos of yours I’ve seen. I’m also an INFP who loves people but needs lots of space to process things alone. I used to think I was shy but now I know it was just autism. 😂 I’m not shy, I just am easily overwhelmed and sometimes don’t know how to respond in certain social situations. I loved when you sat down with RJ and she offered you words of wisdom that I’m willing to bet she has heard from you at some point or she is just wise. Thanks for sharing your authentic self and being willing to be vulnerable with us. We are lucky to have you.
On another note… I think you are ahead of schedule for number of subscribers based on how long you have been making videos. I watched a bunch of videos on statistics of new channels when I started my channel in 2020. Based on the numbers I figured I would hit 1000 subscribers my kids Senior year of high school. That makes me a tiny bit ahead of schedule but my watch hours are still lagging. Anyway…. You’re are miles ahead of where I was when my channel was a year old. Also growth is exponential… so the slowest part is behind you.
Also look at your engagement! So many comments, you are really building a community.
@@heatherinde I really value what you have to say and also impressed with your mind for analytics and numbers. This is encouraging for me to hear. I do feel as if I’ve somehow created a connective community. You too, I love how you engage with your subscribers.
You are one of my favs and OG’s and I always want to stay close with some of the first people and creators I’ve met while here. How awesome we are both INFP’s I’ve met a good hand full of INFJ’s but not as many INFP’s… no wonder I relate with you so well♥️ thank you for your love here today. It’s always appreciated.
I also loved seeing you celebrate your first 1,000 although I missed the live I still enjoyed your confetti pops and joy I got to witness as they showered you and your ceiling with pure well deserved celebration!
Uuuuummm, why aren't we neighbors?!!! *pouting about that* I just loved watching this, so real and fun and silly and true... all the things!! But back to being neighbors, I'd totally come over for coffee in my jammie pants and hoodie whenever you'd let me. It's what I live in! I'm glad you're going to keep going, as you are delightful, and I'm glad that at least our virtual paths have crossed. 🥰
Oh, and your cats... all of them... I love them. Ezekieeelllll, brave, sweet boy!
@@WatercolorKari I’m quite drawn to you as well. I wanted to come home yesterday from antiquing and draw a popsicle with you…however family emergency arose and that was no longer an option. Maybe today. Today I feel mentally exhausted and it may be just what I need.
I feel like I spent the day with my best friend, just hangin out, talking about this and that❤️😊 That Dr Phil quote has always stuck with me too!!! And, you’re right, he doesn’t know everything lol! I never knew before starting YT about the analytics, it is a slippery slope, I have to love on the high achiever in me and tell her it’s not about that, at least DAILY if not hourly🥵😭🥵😭 I love your heart Tracie, I see you, and am grateful you share who you are with us❤️🥰
@@starchyshauna I’m so glad we found each other on YT! I love to see your excitement and energy on your channel when you achieve big things! I’m proud of you.
@@Lifeinthewyldewest Me too🥰❤️🥰
Hi Tracie! Swinging by your channel from mine as promised 😊 You’re right, our channels are quite different but I can relate to what you’re saying and the humour you show made me smile too! PS I have to use a magnifying mirror too 😅 I feel our sight deteriorates so we don’t see exactly what’s happening to our faces 😂
Keep creating ✨
@@Helen5over50 this makes me happy. I love meeting people different from me because this is how we learn new things. I always want to be learning and growing.
New subbie here...I love your personality...listen you will get there alot of the time it's yt an them changing so many things and can never just leave what's working alone. Stay strong keep being yourself u will kinda have those moments of Plato but words absolutely have power and I absolutely appreciate your true raw authentic self. I don't think your doing anything wrong at all. I've been where your at an it's absolutely hard bc of the numbers an all of that but just keep making videos sweetie don't look at the numbers. Try something fun with your audience in your community tab or during a video. You def got this!!! I'm glad you can across in my home feed!!! I know we r in different niches but hey I felt everything you was feeling an sating as well. Sending all my love strength 💪 ❤️
@@SUGARDECLIPSENails so happy to meet you Crystal! I woke up and saw your comment on another of my videos! Then I went to your channel and watched you take your nails off and clean your work station and met your cat Noah!
You have encouraged me so very much and I also subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your encouragement as I see your channel is a great success! Makes so much sense because you’re talented, funny and down to earth all at once! I’m also excited to hear you found me on your home page! What great news for me!
Again thanks so much. Made my day!
The cookie dough looks good!
@@piperlilythrifts boy is it! Sometimes. Like the dough better than the cookie..lol actually let’s not kid ourselves, I prefer the dough 😆 thank you for stopping by! I went antiquing yesterday, you would have loved it.
I love your video! So real and relatable!! It would have been funny to see you peeking over the fence with the camera on the other side. I know not doable but I was just imagining that.
I love your cats! So cute! Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your struggle!
@@NickandNeoshea I appreciate you!
I just found you! Subscribed…love your content
Thank you Jen, this mean a lot. I'm not sure how this comment got lost for me, just found it:). I hate when I lose a comment. I hope you're doing well.
Nice Video
You will watch this later on and reflect on how much things have changed! Don’t give up. But I’m learning on my own YT journey that there are some metrics that you really need to pay attention to, but others that when numbers go down you must not doubt yourself! Every new video is a chance to advance. Hang in there, we are with you! 🙏🏻
I love your encouragement and you are right! Let's keep at it my friend.
I'm a new subscriber. Great video!
Hi Amy, my goodness why did it take me 2 months to find this comment. Thank you for understanding. I will be sure to stop by your channel too and see what's going on. I clicked your profile and see you have a successful channel over there!!!
Feel the same way about facebook
@@PinkandPossible quite honestly I’m at the edge of shutting it back down.
The carrot juice has been in a jar with the lid screwed shut...I wonder how the potency escaped to? Did it dig its way out of the bottom of the jar...a bit like the Great Escape😳? I would have drank the juice for sure 😂 I am an introvert too INTJ .
I was once asked about my facial care routine and had to admit that I rarely took off my make-up at night 😳🙄 and mostly just use water, soap and a flannel to wash my face before applying my make-up again.
I'm totally with you on the analytics thing...I have no idea why things happen as they do and I really don't think it makes a blind bit of difference what we do or don't do, youtube will do what youtube wants to do. Loved the video and it has inspired me for my next video. I've been tired all week and found doing anything a really up hill battle. Much love to you and your daughter, Imi xxxx❤
@@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc I want to look up the traits and strengths of a INTJ! We sound so similar I mean we both start with IN! You make me laugh! Darn carrot juice escaping! I can’t wait for your next video.
How's the escaping carrot juice this morning? I have a vision of it sitting in that jar with a little lock pick, hammer and other escaping implements, just waiting for the fridge door to open and then WHAM!!! It will be off, running out of your kitchen before you can catch up with it. You'll be following in your PJ's shouting "Come back Barbara, I won't eat you!" but all will have been too late because it's super charged carrot juice and you had lost even before the fridge door was opened....okay I'll stop there before you have me pegged as a crazy lady! 🤣 I've just looked up INTJ and I have to say it's pretty accurate for me. Who knew eh? Have a lovely day and be very careful when opening your fridge ❤xxx
@@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc I looked it up last night too! You are called the architect. You love doing your own research and holy smokes, I’ve just met you and I already know it to be true. You figured out how to help your RLS ! You have excellent discernment regarding people and you can tell who is a genuine person. I loved all I read about INTJ’s. I don’t even think you are a crazy woman….you are my kind of creative mind. I was giggling as I sit here with my coffee and thought Imi would be a great children’s book author! My kind of gal. I just looked at I think it’s 2 pm for you and I’m just waking up. Spending the day with my mom and I think I’m going to give her the Myer Briggs test while we drive to the cemetery.
I ALWAYS want to be a cat😻!
@@beautifullifesageg.3951 why am I NOT surprised! Birds of a feather!
I just did a video. Similar. I have shut down most of my videos and I’m in a very sad and odd state of mind. I love videos like this that aren’t so polished and perfect. That’s just not life and creatures who portray that make it harder for us who are trying to just breathe. ❤
@@Mindfulmaven7 I will go watch your video. I’m already subscribed, I see that. I see you just left 2. This isn’t an easy place to be and my heart feels for you. Sending you strength and love and it means a lot to me that you watched and left a comment.
@@Lifeinthewyldewest haha, I meant creators but the phone decided to call them creatures. 😆 I hope to get back to it, but for now I am feeling empty. I hope you keep creating because videos like this make me enjoy UA-cam. Appreciate your presence on here and in this world. 🤍
Hi Stella😂
I haven’t been able to watch a lot of youtube lately.
I enjoy your videos. I’ve wanted to do this type of video but I’m not sure if it would work for me.
Lots of traffic. Pretty cats you have.
Now it’s Sept. 17
Thanks for watching this older video of mine. When you mention "this type" do you mean like changing scenery or walking around all over the place (lol). kind of like a vlog? It's for sure not for everyone. I love to just sit and listen in on us other UA-camrs that talk like we are having coffee or tea together, they are relaxing and this is how I feel when I have watched a couple of your videos.
@@Lifeinthewyldewest aww thank you ☺️ I’m trying to improve with my coffee time visits with everyone
I can’t do the eyeliner on that inner skin. It feels so weird!
@@beautifullifesageg.3951 🤣🤣
Hello Tracie, you must be fine. I visited your channel and analyzed some videos. Your video quality is very good but your channel is not SEO done Properly, due to which channel growth is very low. Also, your video is not SEO done with rank tag SEO score is poor. In short, SEO optimizes your channel properly, and every video needs to be SEO which will promote your channel and double the video view
