In this political climate - they really do, even if they don't realize that they do, lol.

EXACTLY. We were talking last night about the fact that there will be many people in the US who die as a result of stress without even being touched by the terrible policies. We must take care of our mental health.

Cute frames and really cute hair cut, and who knew 6-8 hours of editing per episode!

The time that goes into editing for YouTube is wild! But it’s long form vs a 1 minute reel that you can literally plug into a template 😭

Thank you Valerie! Can you believe I forgot I had these glasses?! I was putting my winter clothes in storage and found them. I think they brighten up my face.

Here's some inspiration for you, Chandra. My oldest son rejuvenated a channel he started and forgot about in middle school. He's 26. He's been going at it for the past two weeks and his engagement is blowing me away. If you're looking for a sign to get started, this is it!

Adventures of Butch and Ruby's avatar

I’ve been thinking over the past week that I should have listened when some suggested that I take the adventures to YouTube. Part of my hesitation is because of what you described…the amount of time it requires to edit and produce good video. I realized I don’t enjoy that part, and my husband takes too long to get to my requests.

You can always enlist the services of someone on Fiverr (smile). And it's never too late to start. I've had my channel for 9 years and JUST jumped in with both feet.
