I hear you about needing to pay the bills but us true Planning with Bumble fans will watch old videos to pay your bills!! I re-watch your stuff all the time for inspiration on my spreads and to help you out! 🥰 You’re also the only channel where I watch entire ads for knowing you make more 💰
Mary Ellen, this is your channel, you do you! Those that love and adore you will keep following. Be kind to yourself. I’m here for you, whether it’s to watch you create, or to listen to you, or to Bumble grumbles. Do you!! HUGS 💖
Mary Ellen, give yourself some grace during this difficult time. Post as much or as little that you can mentally and financially. Embrace family and friends and let them love and support you! As a fur manor 2 cats I have used a cat sitter when I travelled in the past. Currently I’m lucky enough to have a land lady who looks after my babies when I travel. I’m going to my first Go Wild and hope to meet you.
I went through a period where I hated my planner because it was a reminder that I didn't have any friends or family to plan things with. It took me a while to find joy and to reinvent myself because I relied on others to fulfill that for so long. Now I just use my planner in a new way as a journal/ wellness planner and I learned to love it again. I think that me loving to plan again means I'm starting to love myself because it's a reflection of me ❤
Another cute spread! Part of your charm is your willingness to share your life. I'm not sure I would be so vulnerable. You're so relatable and I love your creativity. Keep being you!
I’ve been watching your videos since 2021. You are one of the most relatable content creator I have had the pleasure of watching/getting to know. When you share about your life, it really is like a friend talking to a friend. You are so loved by all of us who appreciate your creativity and openness. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. I’m glad we can offer you support through your healing process. We are here for you.
Please give yourself the same grace you would give someone else in your situation ❤
Maryellen.. You make my day! I love your videos because you are like me. Good days and Bad days, but we keep chugging along. I admire that you don't settle. You know what is best for you, even though it's sad and hard. Keep being you! Hugs❤
Omg, I do wish I could meet you! I would love a meet and greet. It just feels nice knowing there are people out there that share my interests and passions. I watch your life and it helps me make peace with my own, because I realize we are all going through it. Happy to offer support to you in any way that I can. You are totally not alone.
You do make us all feel like we are your friends. And we are here in spirit! Hugs from afar!
Hi Mary Ellen! I'm a single lady (about to turn 37!) and I don't have any dogs, but I do have 3 cats. I know it's not the same, but it also brings limitations. I can leave them for a couple of days, but they are indoor cats and petrified of strangers so if I want to travel (my family lives overseas) I end up having to spend $1500 on a cat hotel each time. It's rough. That's not even mentioning having to catch 3 cats with only 2 hands. I think I started finding solutions the moment I stopped mentally fighting with the way it is. I spent the first year single listing all the things that I could now no longer do or had become too hard. Then I started restructuring my life to work around those challenges. For you that may mean finding Bumble-friendly outings, accepting Bumble may need to learn new resilience, asking a friend to occassionally babysit her for a small favour in return. Of course I don't know your life at all, but that was what held ME back. The moment I stopped being frustrated with the challenge, was the moment I was able to successfully meet the challenge. That said you are allowed periods of just being frustrated too, it's part of the process of grieving your old life and future. I hope you're having a good day ❤
I know this is late, but I'm a divorced empty nester with a 17 year old Shih-tzu to care for and it is hard doing all the things while working full-time at a stressful career. You are doing a great job and know that you are loved by all your friends, both known and on the interwebs.❤️
I’m 65 and I have been watching your channel for a while. I have never commented but I feel the need now. First of all you are a beautiful person. If you think you are the only person that has had a break up please contact me. I was a Flight Attendant for 30 years and my life was a mess. Men can’t handle a women who travel and they don’t. I was single for 15 years. You have so much going for you. If I had a brother who was single, I would love to introduce you to him. Give yourself time. If you don’t feel like doing anything,don’t. Take care of you. I have a Lab and I love hearing Bumble. Makes me feel at home. Relax and do what you need to do. We will be here when you come back. You are a wonderful person! Victoria
Mary Ellen, my heart goes out to you! My mother always said, "Keep on keeping on." That has been one of my mantras my entire life, and I commend you for doing that. I hope and believe that things will improve in your life, and I hope it helps to know that so many of us are rooting for you! I love your spirit and your creativity! Also, I have been behind in my planners since Christmas. I will catch up through backplanning and then fall behind again. My family is experiencing a major problem for which there is no easy solution. Planning is not as joyful as it was in the past, but I know it helps me in many ways. Sometimes I have to just do what I can and let the rest go! I wish the best for you. You are an awesome woman!
OMG…you wrote gratitude perfectly!
Mary Ellen I love your videos 💕 very creative and always lovely - we all have ups and downs- and you’re having one now- talking is good therapy and people will be here for you. Time heals- you’ll be stronger and better soon 💝
Do videos that make you happy right now. Like slime videos or other things that you enjoy. Even a video of bumble running about when she goes for a walk, your channel loves bumble. You could even pop a go pro on her 😂
Yaaas a go pro! Can you imagine a plan with me from Bumbles perspective? lol
I'd love to see other videos here too....like day in the life vlogs, more videos of Bumble, Q&A videos or anything that you chose to share, Mary Ellen. This is your channel so you do whatever makes you happy!
We all have ups and downs in our lives. You are not the only one, so be kind to yourself. I love your videos.
You need a break enjoy every second and minute of it with your daughter's. Have a good weekend! Love the spread
I should say… I listen to you while I’m at work or taking a stroll, your creative energy is contagious
I really like this spread Mary Ellen, it was fun to gave a green spread that was something a little different for St. Patricks Day. It was really pretty.
I have never used my planner every week of the year. I always plan to, even during vacation, but when not feeling well, or too busy with unusual routines... Keep giving yourself grace.
Cute spread. Have a great time with your girls! A beach vacation can be so healing. 🍹 🏖️
thots for you..life is hard sometimes I know. Sometime in life we just shut down and doing things are just overwhelming..I understand. I'm an introvert by nature, it's hard for me now too after I retired. Also depression, anxiety, and ADHD..so I'm a mess I guess. I need to be with people and it's the hardest thing for me to do. I just want to shut down sometimes and be alone. You do a wonderful job with your videos, so inspiring. Be kind to yourself and give your grace...we do out here. We love you and you inspire us...what a wonderful thing you do! so take care of you and do what you need to do for you and give yourself grace most of all.
I find March is an unsettling month in general. Weather can go from teases of spring, back to the grips of winter - sometimes in the same day! And then there's the whole "spring forward" thing that throws off everyone's circadian cycle. Add to that your personal situation, and you've got a recipe for stress. So, as others have said, go easy on yourself, be gentle and kind to yourself, and we will all be here to support you. 🤗🙏❤️
I would totally come to a Mary Ellen meet up! I'm in Ohio so not too far away. Love this spread. Give yourself grace. I often decorate my spreads and then just get swamped at work and don't write in them. Plus, sometimes I feel like all I have to write is the same as the week before. You can only whine about hating your job so many times before it's just repetitive, amiright?! Totally understand about being embarrassed to share about your breakup. I stopped posting about anything other than the dog rescue I volunteer with on my socials because of the same. Thanks for sharing your life with us, even when it's hard. Your openness and honesty are what set you apart in the planner community. We are rooting you on! Power forward to great things! ❤❤
Mary Ellen please give yourself GRACE...you are going through alot and need to find your new "normal". Know that there are so many of us sending prayers and hugs to you. You will come out stronger than before. Have an amazing girls trip!!
If I had to do a flip through of my planner starting from the first of the year, you would see that I have not used my planner consistently. I can totally relate to everything you said because I have been going thru some stuff in my life. I missed watching you and all my other favorite planners. You have encouraged me to give myself some grace. This week was my first time using my planner again! When you were thinking of a name for your spread, it thought of primavera which means spring in Spanish. I know you and I are going to get thru this time. Thanks for being my friend. Have fun in Mexico!!!I would totally pet sit Bumble if I could.
I agree with you about March… it’s rough even if you don’t have upsetting changes… I always look at April as a fresh start!
Where did you find your sun notebook? It's sooo cute!!! Love your videos!! You do you!❤😊 we all love you
Love your videos and talking/listening. We love you and support you in whatever you do or not do. I think a sticker company should make some stickers that reflect people’s feelings about not having a “happy day” all the time. I know that being a nurse and working will patients everyday is NOT happy & joyful. Days can be hard for everyone and you have had a rough few years. You are making a great difference with just showing your creativity. I 🙏 it gets better for you.
Take the time you need! Don’t be so hard on yourself. Easier said than done, I know. Have a great vacation in Cancun with your girls. Hopefully it will be rejuvenating. We are spending Christmas week there this year. Never been, so I can’t wait to hear about your trip.
I love listening to our chats- friends listening to friends. Bonus, I learn so much from watching you decorate all your planners/ journals! Thank you!
You'll get through this girl. We've got your back if you need to talk it out. You never know who else it may help that's feeling the same. I know I've felt it too. Also, super cute spread. ❤
I am so in awe in that you share so much with us and power through what must be a very tough time for you. Break ups suck, but I have a feeling you are going to look back at this and realize the reason for it. Great things are ahead lady! We met at Go Wild, hope to see you again this year. Stay Strong! I have three dogs and yes, they are so needy, but pay us back with unconditional love. (Well sometimes we do have to bribe them with treats)
Your videos are great. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️ to you.
Hey you, please please please take your time. I haven't even touched my planner for months. I have watched loads and still love planning, but I like youI have got lists that I have been using, mine are for planning projects and pages to do when I get my mojo back. Just remember you are an amazing, strong, intelligent, beautiful woman 😊 but every so often just kicks us down and I mean kick. So so glad you are taking a timeout with your girls. Regenerate and enjoy. We are not going anywhere xxx massive hugs xxx
Enjoyed your video Mary Ellen....there have been weeks at a time that I haven't been able to decorate or write in my planner....I have learned to just let it go and try not to get upset about it.....does it bother me, yes, but when life gets in the way what are you gonna do🤷♀️. Be gentle with yourself and take as much time as you need to heal....we will all be here for you💜💜💜💜
Aw I’m sorry you are going through this. I feel the strain. Give yourself grace. Much vibes to you 💜
I do have my fur son. He is my world. He loves Walmart. He goes with me on trips. He still loves to go but is getting older and traveling is getting stressful for him. When I can’t take him, I leave him with family that I trust. I have never gotten a sitter other than family. Let Bumble be your therapist. She loves you for who you are and so do we.
I lost my soul dog & going thru serious medical issues. I hate when my planner is empty but it tells a story. My old me would have decorates & updated it late. Going thru a breakup is experiencing a death of a loved one; one truly goes thru grieving & all the emotions that comes with it. Humans cannot be consistent 100% of the time. It is an impossible standard. You’re doing great. ❤❤❤
I totally forgot about St. Patrick's day too! So I decorated for it this week instead 🤷🏼♀️ whatevs, it's my planner! I'll do what I want 😂
So glad to see this video! I often don't write in my planner - or only write on a few days. Usually it gets decorated - though some times not til Wednesday or Thursday. And that's ok! The purpose of the planner is to help me get the most out of my day - and help me remember important things. And some days the way to get the most out of my day means I veg out or play or just take care of myself in whatever way makes me feel better. So sorry you are going through tough times right now. But proud of you for taking care of yourself. Praying you continue to take care of yourself. And hope to see you in Dallas in a little over a month! Loved this spread by the way!
Very pretty spread ❤. Take good care of yourself
We don’t know each other BUT I do consider you a friend too! I’m single and new at being an empty nester too. It’s harder than I expected. And like you as well I have my shih tzu Rosie and I’m in the same boat with finding help with her. She was my mother’s dog and our agreement is she takes her when I need the help. You are such a beautiful person and you deserve the love I’m sure you give with your partner. You’re a catch and don’t you forget it! Smile.
My heart goes out to you. Having to ‘keep going’ when you would like to crawl in a hole is the hardest thing we have to do as humans. But it’s also the mark of resilience and inner strength that keeps us moving toward an even brighter goal down the road. Hugs..💕
I love that you acknowledge that the level of motivation a person has when things are going great is VASTLY different from the level a person has when everything is going sideways. I'm also glad that you're making sure you're being kind to yourself when it comes to that different level of motivation. Take care of you ♥
I hope your secret project is a sticker book! I know that was a goal of your years ago.
Also…March. Think about all those plants, underground, doing their thing and growing strong, ready to bust out in Spring! That’s March. See…no explanation needed. 😉
Most, if not all, of us know what breakups feel like. Small breakups and big ones. Most breakups are a good thing, even. They still all suck.
I’m with you Mary Ellen. I have never made it a whole year filling out / decorating every week. I currently haven’t decorated or written in it in a month.
nice spread, I like your channel because you decorate differently. A bit unique compared to other channels I see and I like your different handwriting. I need to learn some faux calligraphy.
I’ve been watching since 2018 and do feel like I know you…wish I knew you in real life! I don’t even plan anymore (it’s one of those things that I WANT to and I never stick with it) but I still watch your videos because I like YOU! I’m sorry you’re going through it and hope things get better soon. Have an amazing vacation with your girls! I’m also a fellow twin mom to 15 year old boys 😊
Mary Ellen, I would come meet you anytime!! I've only been using a planner since July, mostly as a creative outlet that doesn't take as much time as my other hobbies, but I feel like I've gotten to know you by watching your videos. I really miss when you don't post, but I really do understand what you're going through. You are grieving over your breakup and that's perfectly normal!! Do what you need to do for you!! I'm glad to hear you're going on a vacation with your girls and I hope the rest and relaxation do wonders for your mental health. Take care of you!
I think great things are in your future. You are deserving and more than due! Take the time to do what you need to do to take care of yourself. I’m new to planning and enjoy your videos, I’ve learned a lot from them.
Sometimes I've only lasted a week in a planner...I loved decorating it, but never actually used it like I should. I have stuck to a budget planner for almost a year and have paid off so much debt because of it!! And I decorate it with stickers too.
I look forward to tagging along to see what your next adventure is. 🍀🌻❤️
I have skipped weeks in my planner..never had made it a whole year lol
I've been single now for 20+ years and if I can do it alone, you can too, if that's what you want. There will be easy days, then a few bad days, but you can get through it. We love you and your videos, so keep up the good work.
Wow. So many thoughts on this video: Parasocial relationships is something I just heard a podcast on! That is absolutely what I have with you. I’m currently on maternity leave so my social interaction with adults is seriously limited. But it truly feels like talking to a friend when I play your videos. You keep me company and I appreciate that so much. Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest. I also thought the spread was going to look boring but I really loved it at the end! You’re doing great and you’re exactly where you are supposed to be right now. With love, Celeste.
Me too. I haven't then in my planners in weeks. Thank you for this video.
I am so sorry for what you’re going thru! Although I’m not going through a breakup, I have had something stressful happen in my life, that has made me a stress ball and I haven’t really eaten in almost a month and am trying to stay dehydrate. Hang in there! We both will get through this💞
Mary Ellen you got this! Stay strong and I will say prayers for you! Air hugs!😊
You have created a community with your channel. And by community, I don't mean just a bunch of followers who subscribe because of a gimmick or some type of viral clout; but a true community of viewers who connect with your content and with you as a person. I've been watching your videos since the beginning and feel connected to you. You were the first KZheadr I actually subscribed to and started watching regularly and would get excited every time you had a new video posted! I mention this because of what you said about talking to your viewers like we're you're friends and wondering if we consider you our friends. And while the simplest answer is yes, the world just isn't so simple. The social dynamic that now exists in our world is unique and hard to define for those of us who grew up with more traditional definitions of friendship. However, it is easy for any one who watches your videos to see your genuine spirit. You have had some truly devastating moments over the past few years, as have many of your viewers also experienced on one level or another and can sympathize with the pain and emotions associated with loss like you are experiencing once again. Just because your job happens to be on display for others to see does not mean that your feelings are not valid or that you have to rush to get over the hurt you are feeling. You say you didn't decorate in your planner? You say didn't write in your planner? Ok, so you are a human being who is hurting. You🎉 were honest and "owned it", and you are doing the best you can. You are making videos, and trying to connect with your viewers and soldier on through the tough days. You have gotten through some even darker days before, and you will get through these too; but you need to give yourself grace.
What a beautiful and thoughtful commentary. Thank you for perfectly putting into words the way many of us feel. We love you Mary Ellen and think of you as a dear friend.
Hey, Mary Ellen! Do what you can. Decorate for your job and move on. If you use it, so be it. Btw, I love it when you vent, ramble or whatever you want to call it. I don't mean that as mean by any way please understand understand ❤from Texas 🇨🇱
All things hell with time, you deserve infinite happiness as we all do! 🙏🏾
"plants & problems" had me laughing so good. I'm here for all of it! I hope maybe the pets become more of a comfort and less troublesome (I am a single cat mom of 3 lol so I get it, no judgment!!) once your daughter moves out? Perhaps their company will take on a different meaning or feeling! Enjoy Cancun!!
Mary Ellen, can you show us your house? Or did you already? I'd love to see it.
I understand how you're feeling right now. I just recently left a toxic job after 1 year of doing everything I could to make them happy, and losing my almost fiance (rings were bought and everything), moving out from our house, having to find a new place in a very short period of time, being transferred from my dream job to another floor in the hospital, to that floor telling me that I wasn't doing good enough, despite me meeting their expectations, to 2 other floors rejecting me, even though I was more than qualified for both of them, and one of the nurses I shadowed with was one that I had previously worked with, and would only have good things to say. Here's to a new start for us both! ❤
I hope things look up for you!
It’s all good we all need some down time as at the end of the day we are only human. Sometimes personal needs to over ride professional in order to succeed and move forward. ❤ you could call it plans for progress lol
I’m a single woman in my 50s who until very recently had a dog. As you say, it’s extremely rewarding and helpful to have the dog, but it is a lot. Just like with anything, some days I wish I didn’t have too. My little furry best friend passed away in January, and even though I can relax more without the responsibility, I miss her fuzzy face so much. I miss having something to bring me that unconditional love. I was lucky that she was trained to be on her own while I was at work, so I was able to leave her for up to 8 hours, and when I needed to be longer, the best thing I ever did was find a doggy daycare to take her to that would allow for overnighters. They keep all the dogs they are caring for in the house with the family so she was never alone and scared in a kennel.
Bumble doesn’t get along with a lot of dogs or I would
I’m so sorry. My mom broke up with the guy she had dated for YEARS the week I left for college. I was broken hearted for her and felt so guilty.
I love that you, as a planner content creator, feel it is unrealistic to be consistent in your planner all year! That has given me comfort as my planner plans have already changed a couple of times since the beginning of the year and it’s only March! I too can’t survive without lists though! I did one year manage to journal every single day, but it’s not the norm! Very very cute spread!
Hermoso!
I think I've written in my planner every week for YEARS!. Have I decorated it? oh no.. sometimes no time to even look at it.
You asked how we do it with animals when we go through breakups or anything that causes us to be emotionally drained, and well thats life isn't it. We wish it would skip us and move on but somehow it seems to stop at our doorstep every now and then. I have always had animals and honestly when the emotional crap passed, my pet companion was still there and I found that they were the ones who got me through my hardship. You love her beyond measure and what would we do without them. Just look into her eyes are know she's there for you and I'm sure she takes some of that heartache away, not all of it but some of it and perhaps its enough at times to help to get you through. These hardships stink don't they? But there is joy again out there somewhere and by no means am I saying get over it. You get over it when you are ready and that goes with all of us. We all deal with things in our own time and never by anyone else's timeline. So don't beat yourself up or thinking you need to move on. Hug your Bumble boy, and your cat. And rest rest rest if you need it. Only you know what you need.
Maybe you could find a doggie daycare so you could be out on a day but your dog is tended while you’re out. I did this and it really takes the worry out of my mind when I’m gone for more than just a few hours. Just an idea.
I would, but bumble doesn’t get along with most dogs
@@PlanningwithBumble well that is unfortunate. That was my only suggestion. 😞
I haven’t planned either. Life is life. And it’s a LOT. Do what you can, when you can.
So many feelings…sending a virtual hug your way!
Hi, give yourself some time to heal. And if you want to write in your planer its fine, if not it is okay that too. When I am down, I write task to do, because otherwise it wouldn't be done. Or just a mealplan, todays weather, just something. And suddently your back on track
lol my dog goes everywhere either me. If she can’t go I’m not going
New to your channel. Hi
So cute, and do a St. Patrick's day spead if you want! You don't have to write in it if you don't want to! You get to make your own rules!
I really like your stories, I understand that you do not feel easy about the divorce with your partner. I am married, have 5 dogs. We both take care of the dogs, so that there is always someone there. If we both leave, we will make sure we are not away for more than 4 hours. In the Netherlands they accept 1 dog almost everywhere. What is also possible is a dog buggy and you can do everything and also eat out yourself. You will get immense love from them, and they will never hate you and you can't say that with people. I also have a lot of respect for you, I have learned a lot from you. Big hug. love Bianca
Sorry about you break up. In time things will be ok
I am so sorry you’re struggling right now. Sometimes I don’t use my journal at all. I used to feel like I just wasted a spread, but I enjoyed the decoration process, so it was still a win. At the end of the year when you do a flip through, I hope you’ll look back and think, that was a good time to take a break and gather myself. Peace to you!
I have to force myself to write in my planner. I don’t do anything most days. Same thing everyday. We are retired. So. I make breakfast, I make dinner, I take pictures of my cats. I feel like my life is so boring. What am I supposed to put in my planner? As far as your future, doggy day care…and you can do volunteer work. Or take classes….I know a lot of older single women and that’s what they do because they do not want another man in their life….they are happy and their lives are full….you will find your way, just relax and enjoy the journey….❤
I know when I journal (this sounds counter intuitive) but when I am in the thick of things, if I write about it, that makes it real. And I may not be able to process that in that very moment. So sometimes I don't write. I do have to keep my planner going every week because of my job and billing clients etc. I was a single woman with a dog and I just made sure wherever we went wad pet friendly. Then I had a baby at 39... and she didn't adore that but we did okay. But then she got tinier and tinier and I was pregnant again (this time with a partner). I had to make a hard decision about her as she wasn't able to even stand or walk anymore. I would totally watch Bumble if we were anywhere close (mine was a Maltese/Shih-Tzu mix)
I journal as well I will be starting a KZhead channels hopefully soon
Nope- I have weeks of “life” throughout my planners that aren’t completed! Sometimes, I go back and do some minimal decorating and write something like, “maybe next week…” or “off the course this week…next week is coming…”
Sounds like my life. But mine is both daughter and granddaughter moving out to go live with her boyfriend.
Mary Ellen, have you considered having Bumble become a Emotional support pet? It is not hard. And most places do not say no to bringing ESA dogs. And if you have the money you can even have Bumble trained to be a service dog.
Mary Ellen, I could be wrong but you seemed so much happier decorating your big happy planner. They were always beautiful spreads. Not that your dashboard layouts aren’t but I don’t hear the excitement in your voice when working on the dashboard. I use the classic which is a good success for me
It’s not the planner, it’s what’s been going on in my life since I started the dashboard
What if your journal theme for March was “white” or “snowstorm” and then you could kinda like pretend you did it on purpose? And then just had blank pages? Or you could do all black pages because your feelings are dark and then had Al black papers?
Hi have you thought about boarding the fur babies even if for a couple of days? That way you can get away and they get to socialize with other fur babies. My husband and I went away for xmas and we boarded our husky and he loved it and when we went to get him he didn’t want to come home! 🤣 we board at the VCA and I think they have locations all over the USA. Just a thought……
Bumble is fearful of dogs bigger than her
Sorry I didn’t mean to finish that sentence but my phone thought I was. I know you are going through a hard time so that may have a lot to do with it. It’s just been an observation and wanted to mention it. I love your videos and watch them all. ❤️❤️
It’s life circumstances, not my planner layout. Really enjoying the dashboard
@@PlanningwithBumble I’m happy you are enjoying using it. All of your pages are beautiful. Loved todays. Take care.
Mary Ellen, I have a daily planner and a devotional planner. In my daily planner I think I have only used two weeks because I don’t like putting things on the monthly and weekly duplication. I have been thinking of taking one or the other out of my planner. I would love to see someone plan that is retired and ordinary life. I’m retired, husband passed away 17 years ago, no children except for 13 year young dog. Any help you can offer. We can do this.
I am annoyed because next week is my birthday AND Easter, plus spring break. How do I choose a theme?!?!
We are all here to support you and help any way we can. Does it help you more financially when we watch the pop up ads all the way through to the end? Take care of yourself. “This too shall pass” 🥰
Mary Ellen, I understand. I'm going through a divorce myself. I have no clue what is going to happen.
