Hey FAM today is 3/22/20 and I am sharing with you a REAL LIFE – weekly channel update and my thoughts on everything going on. I wanted to document my thoughts and feelings during this time for me and my loved ones. SENDING LOVE to you and stay safe! xoxo 🔔SUBSCRIBE➡http://bit.ly/SUB_F2F
No, you are not at all dramatic..This is exactly what I am feeling right now. My husband’s company assured him last week that they don’t need to worry about their jobs. But yesterday,they asked him to take an unpaid work leave indefinitely. Even though, we paid off all our debts last January, we were still trying to build up our emergency fund. I am a stay at home mom, 6 mos pregnant and have a small toddler. I am anxious and scared..I just kept crying last night..
I’m kinda new to Keto so I have followed you for maybe a few months. I enjoy your honesty tremendously. The very first video you put out saying that it was a good idea to prepare I took to heart. If you knew me you would know that I don’t trust many people and I especially wouldn’t go stock up on the advice of a person I have never met. Buuuuut for some reason I trusted what you said because it came across as genuine concern. I went to Costco and stock up a bit for my home and my parents home… I’m glad I did thank you sooo much from the bottom of my heart. I’m a registered nurse and now that I have been working in the middle of all this I’m glad they are prepared. This is a super scary time for all of us believe me I have also cried more than once. We are going to get through this!!!
Thanks for your videos they educate and relax me after an intense hard shift!!!
P.S. I love your shirt and need to know where I can get one??? 💖
Thank you, Kim, for your encouragement and being transparent with your feelings. We just had the request for self quarantining extended to 4/2 along with school closures, and no travel except for life sustaining/maintaining businesses. I also try to speak word of gratitude and thankfulness when fear comes. Thank you again. Be safe. Blessings.
Hi Kim! If ya'll are still slowly building your urban homestead. You should get out and plant some seeds. It helps me the past couple weeks. Also you should do an update. We're in this together 😁
Hey kim! As long as you make videos, I will watch them. I need some sense of normalcy right now. I've had a moment and cried a bit over this. I typically only go to work, church, my moms house and my bestie's house on the regular. (Though my friend's 16 yr old says she has NO problem being shut in! 🤪) but feeling like I'm told I can't go is a problem for me. I'll continue to visit my mother and grandmother as needed because i help take care of them. But not being able to stop at the mall or a restaurant at the last minute with a friend is hard to deal with. I'm just trying to stay positive through this. And you are so right about facebook…I'm not going on there this week because of people and there comments…Woosah……
We are more than Conquerors thru Him who loves us 💖
I am 57 in UK and never in my lifetime i have known anything like this.
Ive was diagnosed with possible Coronavirus last week (i have asthma) – the virus can be very mild if u have a good immune system but asthma meds reduce your immune system so assume thats why i caught it – never had anything like it but i am recovering. xx
Kim, hang in their we all will get through this. I am 68 years old and that I am sure is old enough to be your grandmother. My husband of 39 years died suddenly in January and I never felt so lonely in my life. And now I am dealing with this pandemic alone. However a dear friend advised me after my husbands death that I needed a dog, her thoughts were it would take the quietness out of the house and give a reason to get up everyday. So on 3/10/20, I got a puppy and believe it’s like having a newborn in the house. Charlie (puppies name) is getting me through this isolation time. I stopped watching the news all day and limited myself to 1 hour in the evening then I watch a show or 2 that makes me either laugh or brings me some sort of joy! The point of this is, although we are going through hard times we all need to find something in our life that brings a little sunshine into it. Thanks
Stay strong kim we will get through this together 💗
I'm completely with you and feeling the anxiety too. We're all in this together! Thanks for your thoughts 🌹❤
Kim, thank you for sharing. You and I probably have nothing in common, but it is really helpful for me to hear from someone older than me (only slightly, i'm 31m you're 35 right?!) with kids to say, hey it's been stressful, this is hard, this is real. also i would love to hear your prepper list; i think you are relatable and i haven't ventured much into the prepper world, but this seems like a good time to.
We live in a small town in southeast Missouri, about an hour south of St Louis. I knew “it” would eventually reach us. I just didn’t realize how fast! Our first confirmed case is a healthcare worker.
Hey Kim, been on a emotional rollercoaster this past week. I look forward to your videos and I'm so thankful for you! I would love to see what you have done to prepare for you and your family. I know for myself I've jam packed my freezers not only for my son and myself, but also for members of my family who don't live with me. They all thought I was nuts when I started talking about the current situation. But that's okay…
My mother in law was telling us, that she hardly remembers the flu time. That they had to spend a lot of time up in the mountains. Inside a cave
I’m a baby boomer, the Vietnam war was terrible, but I’ve never lived through a time where almost the whole world has been shut down
I love your spirit and we ALL must have Courage in these uncertain times. Love you my Sister! Keep uplifting us and I will pray for you and family. ❤❤
We live in a tiny community that has 2 high end resorts and both closed down, laid off anyone part time and any one full time is only promised 32 hours. Over 1/2 our community worked there. I’m surprised we’ve not been put on lock down because we jumped from 95 to over 200 cases overnight.
Our kids have packets (elementary) but I guess they have packets for the students who don’t have WiFi available either because our local library is closed too. My kindergarteners packet is huge! 2nd greasers is huge too in my opinion for a 7 year old.
I’d like to see what you bought as emergency essentials!
Thank you for these.
Thanks for sharing. I’d like to know what you bought. 🥰
You spoke from your heart! Thank you I appreciate in a time where things seem a little bleak someone shows emotion and care when they speak. Keep these types of videos coming I am feeling a little boxed in right now and knowing that others feel a little the same lets me know I am not alone and that my emotions are normal because from time to time I feel a little crazy with everything going on in the world right now mostly because there is nothing I can do to fix it.
Revelation and Prophecy 🙏🏾
Your video's are helping me through this time, thank you 💕
Yes this is a pandemic, and things seem uncertain. Look at the changes, yes, some are scary. Isn't that a sign of significant change? In our lives, in our environment?
That doesn't have to mean it's all negative. Would these positive changes, payment forgiveness, health ins for all that are tested/have this, sick leave paid, e-schooling. Free online courses and job loss can lead to new careers, increases in unemployment have also lead to these stimulus checks….
Honestly, as scary as it sounds, I see the world being cleansed, so to speak. I have seen so many GOOD things. I think this is bringing out THE BEST also in people…yes the worst in some, but it's a minority…and those are the people that MAY have MORE TO LEARN..
Unfortunately if you have an unsettled past, it can bring up "trauma triggers." But even that can bring about an acknowledgement, a self awareness, a "cleanse" so to speak..
You can acknowledge, access, and create action where it's needed. It can be positive or negative…you still have THAT CHOICE..no one can take that away from humanity.
OR we can choose to be negative ( the news is all negative) and allow that to take away our sight. Then we are blind to NEW Opportunities, that are literally being birthed as we speak.
I know it sounds cliche, but this IS the pain in the birthing process..its EXCITING TIMES…what do WE want to create.. I have not seen a time when things were manifested FASTER! Regulations lifted, drugs before a year, jobs waiving experience/some education, but paying FOR YOUR TRAINING/EDUCATION.
Our culture is shifting, we seem off kilter…and we should..it IS different..but again maybe it not all doom and gloom of the "news" channels.
Without the illness, none of these good things have been able to become real…it was all political/talk…no action! Now the WORLD is seeing action..even us.
Don't allow "the news" get into your head. ( it is like the Peid Piper) If you listen to most of these reporters, they already have an idea/script before they are in these meetings. You can recognize them by the questions they ask..often attacking not acknowledging all the hard work, long hours, leaders are putting in, and off topic. NOT REAL interest in the answers they get ( making up thier own angle or story) it's anything BUT unbiased FACT REPORTING.
What we need right now is more FACTS…. IF THEY WANTED TO HELP THEIR VIEWERS/WORLD. But they only want to "create" thier SELF INDULGENT scripts.
When emotional, stick to FACTS. See the ying and yang…its still there. It might feel like it's uphill…but oh the beauty we can see once we reach it..
Please take comfort in knowing to have balance we will see it's opposite. It's going to be better than good it's amazing.. As long as we distance for awhile..take shelter…and let "nature" DO the darn thing.. speak up if needed, to be a part of this process, I am truly humbled and honored to be here during this process. Don't forget to still enjoy this crazy amazing life….you like simplicity.. Perhaps this will help more people know what that is….and that it EXISTS.❤
I think you’re very brave and strong. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’m trying to remain calm, grateful and optimistic under these circumstances myself.
I’m let go from my job. I’m a bartender. I had to apply for unemployment. I understand your feelings. I’ve had horrible anxiety and depression and I’ve desperately been trying to find stuff to do. It’s hard but it’s ok! Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
I'm a baby boomer, 65, and agree nothing compares to this.
Thanks for sharing what's on your heart. It has been a long week. I have been feeling all the feelings and working through it.
This is totally surreal! Im not sure how i feel about any of it
Love u Bella ur so inspirational ur right we are all in this together. watching u is keeping me from having a nervous breakdown 💗💗💗💗
I’m immune compromised so my doctor ordered me to stay home until this over. Thankfully I have good friends I can rely on. One minute I’m trying to be positive next minute I’m sobbing thinking this the end of the world. If this goes on more then a month how will I be able to pay my bills etc. it’s scary. Thank goodness for all the doctors and nurses. Stay Safe everyone.
❤️🙏🏻❤️
I’m going to post some coping skills that I’ve been taught since my 2nd psychotic episode.
Guided meditations: these are available on YouTube and are so helpful!
Belly breathing: this is where one places the hands on the stomach and focus on filling the belly with air and slowly releasing my breath.
Thought replacement: taking a negative thought and switching the thought to something more pleasant like petting a cute, favorite animal or visualizing a more happy environment like at the beach or in a meadow filled with wild flowers.
Thought smashing: this is where you take a negative thought, experience and you mentally take a brick and smash that negativity until it’s nothing in your mind. This helped me greatly during my psychotic episode.
Mindfulness: I’m just going to say love in the now and don’t worry about next month. If you are worried start making plans that you know are achievable and you can stick with.
I hope someone find these useful! I really wish I could do more! May the health be with us all!!
Love you hun! Great chat and encouragement
Greetings from Las Vegas! We appreciate you too! God Bless! Be safe!
Thank you so much Kim! Life is so weird right now! 😞
First priority is staying alive. People need to stay home. This will last at least 12 weeks. The whole world is in this together. Don’t look at the 401k numbers. You haven’t lost it until you take it out. My business came to a halt, hubby lost his income but we have savings and a wonderful supportive family. I miss my girls and Grandsons and the pets I take care of. I am going through a lot of emotions. My Daughter with the Grandsons face times me twice a day. She even read me a Dr Seuss book so sweet. Disasters bring my mom and I closer together she is in Ca and I am in Florida. I always prep all year long for hurricane season so I didn’t have to shop when it was crazy with empty shelves. Monday will be Day 4 of not leaving my house. I journal so that helps me and I decided I am going to start walking and working out and eating healthy after ai finished off the brownies tonight. I have no outside distractions now so I am going to focus on me. TomorrowI will call my mortgage company and see what they can do.. it’s crazy how much life changed in 2 weeks. I am so grateful I got my vacation in January to Vegas that is when I first heard about the virus and saw people wearing masks and then hubby and I got sick the end of our trip for two weeks so we wonder if we had it. I got to see my brother and meet a sister I never knew I had. Sorry for the novel it is over midnight here in Florida.Much love to you and your family.
At 4 in the morning I woke up out of my sleep and heard my self praying before I was fully awake asking the Lord not to let my family members die from this virus. My mind immediately went to John 10:10 and Psalm 103, then a hymn , How Great Thou Art. I all kinds of feelings throughout the day, but I do know my hope and trust is in the Lord. I know he will sustain me through it all.
Thank you for this video. This has been a hard weekend for everyone. I try to stay calm because of the kids. We had a service through a conference call today and I felt so sad. I feel like I am watching a science fiction movie but it s not. What scares me in seeing people thinking and behaving like this is not too serious. I saw kids in the park, others riding bikes, this will not stop soon of people continues spreading the virus.
God bless you and your family. Please stay well and safe. Thank you. 🙂
I would love to know what you bought. I was in the same situation. Decided to go ahead and get our small garden stuff, stuff for chickens, and a bread machine
I just love you! I want you to watch yoga with Adriene and take a class from your computer she is free and she will help you breathe sweetheart. I feel scared too but I've been going to my nursing job and thank god I had d95 masks just here at home. You do have A LOT of courage. Love you doll xoxo
Hi Kim- I would be interested in listening about some of the preparation items you picked up. I hope you are doing well!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
