Hello, sweet friends!
Welcome to my idea of the perfect summer day: an early morning spent reading, sipping tea, and munching on buttered toast, followed by a delightful browsing of the most beautiful garden center shop 🌿
I've finally found my way out of my reading rut and managed to read 6 BOOKS last month.
8 Books mentioned:
What the River Knows by Isabel Ibañez
Rebel Rising by Rebel Wilson
Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-Reum
Dopamine Nation by Anna Lembke
The Language of Spells by Garett Weyr
Wildflower by Drew Barrymore
Rooftoppers by Katherin Rundell
Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey

It's incredible how you make content for teenagers and adults, but you speak directly to our inner child's heart with your softness and kindness. You are such a safe space. You make me feel good, happy and makes me wanna start living instead of just... waiting by. I always feel better after watching your video, like I suddenly can fully be present in the moment and enjoy the little things. Thank you!

Dear Morgan, let me dare to declare in behalf of whole community we find your videos as such gifts as you call our attention, time and engagement here. We simply need your light and example, and perpetual reminders to live lightly, looking for everyday glimmers and not succumbing into natural and inevitable hardships of life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

For the rest of 2024, I have decided to focus on joy and celebrating my life as it is right now, rather than focusing on more achievement. I would love some book recommendations to help inspire this journey! Anything around finding joy, peace, pleasure, sensuality, fun, happiness, appreciation would be great! 💖💖💐💐💃💃Thanks everyone, and thank you Morgan for all of your wonder-full creations 😊🌷

Glad to see you Morgan, a few of us Sunbeams were a bit worried about you, but hoped you were just living your best summer life! The brand of your notebook is Sophie Allport. It’s a popular brand here in the uk, and always found in garden centres. They do all sorts, mugs, bags, pet paraphernalia etc. Lovely summery vlog today!

But I just spent time hanging out with you for a good hour at this point and my mood genuinely feels so lifted. I'm ready to find the tiny glimmers in my own life again. ❤ It's a beautiful sunny day here, a roast is simmering in the crockpot, and I have a whole evening to fill with cozy moments. Thank you so much, again, friend. Long live Morgan Long! 😉

the way my mom and i GASPED when we saw landon has a mustache hahaha ALSO i recommend reading Sweet Bean Paste which is a Japanese book that is similar to the one you were talking about where it is slow paced but has an underlying feel good message and philosophy and it’s so good! A quick read too!

What a perfect summer video! I believe the garden quote from the card is from the secret garden. I hope your plants are thriving. That was a lot of seeds for little pots so you might need to thin them out once they grow into seedlings. Monsieur Roux picture is perfect. My puppy sleeps like that too!

That drive and the cottage-y nursery are so fairytale! I was on the search for the perfect journal today, so it definitely felt like watching a kindred spirit. Also, I absolutely love when you recommend children's literature. I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm not allowed to read children's books anymore, but there are so many amazing stories in that genre that it's a shame not to.

It gave me the same vibes I feel when watching your 2021 videos...calming and creative. I have to tell you, when you ate that apricot I started laughing...because my husband made a comment saying that he thinks it is still green because "it's not supposed to crunch like that". And right after he said it you pulled your face and said it was sour😂. I don't know why, but it made me laugh and I enjoyed it so. I'm glad to hear your enjoying reading again and that you are well.

The apricot trick I learned a couple of years ago and it’s a game changer. I think it works with peaches. It’s been a while since I tried so I can’t quite remember! 😂 I have to the micro seeds looked like brownies when I initially saw them. I feel Landon’s pain! But I bet it will be really exciting to see the growth. 🌱 I am so excited to have joined your Patreon, Morgan. It has been lovely to be part of a bookish, kind online community. Sending love to all 💙
