Weekly Update | December 5, 2022 (Patreon)

*** Edited to add - WINNIE UPDATE at the bottom of this post ***

Hello friends and welcome, December!🎄How did we get here so fast? Does anyone else feel like this year passed in a blink? At the same time, it feels like so much happened. Time, you know? What a trip! 😜

Here’s what’s what this week in the WWC:

1. I’m back on YouTube this week so you can expect Wednesday’s early access to my public YouTube video that I spoke of last week - Winnie and I stayed at lovely Airbnb and had a cozy time together.
2. Vlogmas starts tomorrow with our first of four weekly holiday vlogs. This week features a cozy day at home. I update you on Winnie and share what I do to bring myself cheer when I need it during the holiday season.
3. The Friday exclusive community video is a toss up between my holiday home decor tour and a craft-with-me/December Daily album flip-thru that I talked about in last week’s craft nook tour. Whichever one goes up this Friday, the other one will go up the next.
4. What do we think about having our monthly live on December 26? I know it's a bit later in the month than I usually host them, but there's so much going on in the next few weeks and I feel like it could be fun to connect and take a breath together after the big buzz of the holiday weekend. Let me know what you think.

If you watch the accompanying video, you know I am in a very tender place with my Winnie. You’ve all been so incredibly supportive and compassionate as I journey through her elder years and health issues. I want you to know how very appreciative I am of this community for showing me so much love with her. Please understand I mean no disrespect when I asked that we not discuss her in the comments. I’m just feeling very, very tender. I appreciate your understanding 💞

I’m wishing you all a beautiful week ahead and am so excited to be spending more time with you this month. Cheers to leaning into holiday magic whenever and wherever we can! ✨

❤️, Jen

*** WINNIE UPDATE - We just returned from the vet and I am relieved AF to share the news that she is getting better!!!!! Turns out whatever was happening yesterday when I filmed the update that was making me so concerned (again) was her body healing itself. The healing process isn't always (or ever?) pretty, and that applies to dogs, too. The best news is that her vet is now confident there is not another, more pressing underlying neuro issue. This will all make sense in tomorrow's video where I share more about her original diagnoses last week. I just wanted to update you that I am no longer concerned about her being in imminent danger and she is doing better with every passing hour. Thank you so much for your prayers. They worked! 🐶❤️🙏 ***
