Just want to thank you so much for the “escape” therapy that your channel provides! I’ve watched you through battling stage 3 breast cancer and am currently cancer free!! My mama in law who lives with us was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and sent home for hospice. We found out last week. We are trying to figure out how to help her and make her comfortable. Meanwhile yesterday my Husband just found out he has skin cancer on his stomach. We are in our 40’s and have 5 beautiful young children ages 9-18 so I’m trying to be strong and keep it all together. I eagerly await each of your videos so that just for a moment my life won’t feel impossible. Thank you so much!

See you lovelies tomorrow.💖

What a funny coincidence: When I saw the studio, I thought "Oh, that's looking very much like the studio where we stayed in Cap d'Agde when I was a child". So I was very surprised, when you said it is in Cap d'Agde. :) But it's not the same studio, we had another view. I was very impressed by this part of France, when I was there the first time in 1983, I thought, when I'm grown up, I want to live in or around Montpellier... Well, that's not happened until now, but everything is still possible. :)
