Thoughts On My Solo Journey In The Desert From A Hotel Room In New Mexico…

Hey everyone, I recorded this video over a week ago – the night before arriving in Hawaii. It’s a good description of what I was feeling and experiencing on my solo travels back then…

[..YouTube..] You’re very brave to travel alone, Fran! Thousands of people can’t keep their hands off of their cellphones even for an hour. That being said, friends are precious huh? Just as sweet as french toasts with syrup:P I’m also very glad that you admitted that you ate “treat” and not feeling too guilty. Self love is everything. Enjoy Hawaii. xoxo.

[..YouTube..] Welcome to my world of being single. ;) I usually enjoy it, but at times…(as you know)…So if you manage your way back east, and come to upstate NY, send me an email and you’ll have a companion to enjoy our beautiful Finger Lakes region with. :) (Funny you mentioned UTI’s, I just made a vid on it yesterday…I use allicin, works like a charm…and I may upload it soon).

[..YouTube..] Hey Fran. I just got back from Hawaii and I felt so happy the whole time I was there and I really hope you love it as much as I did. The point where you mentioned the heat in your throat being a sign of energy working quickly was reall interesting. I was wondering if you could tell us more about that and how to understand what our bodies are telling us as it relates to healing. Anywho, have a safe and fun trip!

[..YouTube..] Something to consider. I spent 8 days in Hawaii in January with my boyfriend, and it was nonstop fighting……so bad that the entire time I was there, I wanted to either be alone or leave. I think I would have had a lot more fun alone :)

vivienne222- Oh I’m still somewhat married to my iPhone, I seem to have an internet addiction!

ozmonto- I am blessed to have super supportive parents who I’m sure worry about me but in silence. I send them an email at least once a week to let them know that I’m happy and safe, and my dad checks my facebook updates regularly.

facelessfatloss- Allicin, hmm yes I can see how that would work! I’ve been using D-Mannose which seems to be the best options.

FreakinElectric – There are some great books to get, look up Carolien Myss and Louise Hay. But the “heat” thing in my throat from healing too fast (which is spot on for me) came from my Chinese Herbalist in Australia.

ravendream33- OMG you are so right. I always do find that life is a lot more peaceful when I’m single ;) I spent a few days with a beloved at the beginning of this trip, the only man that I’ve ever managed to be intimate with without actually being in a relationship with .. amazing how I managed to pull that one off .. anyway he did make me cry once and we had a little fight so yes that’s just the way it is in the dynamics of relationships I goess, especially when you’re both water signs ;) big highs and big lows

[..YouTube..] A sad thought just hit me – what if you decided to stop making videos :( I have really enjoyed following your vlog during nearly 3 years now and tbh, I don’t care too much that it is not much about skin care any more, I like to get updates on what you experience in life because you inspire me :) Love from Sweden
