{and like an idiot I forgot to mention that it's my dear friend kim who made the focus and kurva charms for me}

  1. So fun ! I have heard your voice and I have seen your face but I have never seen the whole beautiful package. I think you look great and what I love is how natural you were. Brave, and open hearted, just as I imagined you. BTW - you have a beautiful smile ! ;)
    Big love to you ! Good choice !;)

  5. Oh Beth, I was feeling so amazingly down and found my way here and you crack me up. You are as beautiful outside as you are on the inside. A total natural. Love the earrings. And really really like Kim's charms. What a great idea!

  6. By being brave, you were able to post a very nice video and get past the nervous newness of being in front of the camera. Good job.

  7. Beth I wasn't at all sure what to expect when I saw your face come on the video, but I really enjoying seeing and listening to you.
    I'll leave the compliments to everyone else, although I will say that you came across as very natural and funny.
    Liking your face! Now that's a novel idea. Pretty brilliant, actually, for this idea to come up. You might get a bunch of copycat videos...

  9. Terrific video blog :) The opposite/mirror image must be strange but you'll get used to it. Now we're all going to wait for you to come up with something fun, heehee.

  12. love love love it! and you! i may try this sometime! because you've encouraged me.
    isn't it funny how people sound? remember when we talked on the phone and you said i sound young...and it's not that you sound different than what i expect you to, it's just that we read and read and see and see and then there you are. the real you. love it! (and you).

  14. Good for you! You did great! I went through that same exercise about 1 and 1/2 ago when I started doing video reports for CNN iReports. It does take getting accustomed to, but you seem to be a natural! Go Beth!

  15. BETH!!!

    I love it! And, I love you!

    Okay, I am inspired to be brave now too. Maybe I'll do my own vlog blog. (fog, jog, dog, frog)

    I'll start working on figuring out how to do that!

    Nice earrings! No Tarzhay down here in the swamp, but next time we go to the island, maybe I can swing by...

  16. This looks fun! I was gifted a webcam for my birthday, but something was amiss and it repeated crashed my computer so I'm hoping to get a new one soon. It's original purpose was Skype, but an occasional vlog blog sounds fun.

    Thanks for being brave! =)

  17. I love this! It is so neat to see your fun personality in real life!

    And I love the "faces" idea.

    And I just love this place.

  18. Love this post! It was like hanging out with an old friend. You are so easy going on the camera. So cool. Not sure I will ever be brave enough to do that...only because I hate my voice. I have that awful Chicaaaaago accent. Like "Let's go to the Jewels and get some saaaaasage." Da Bears! Seriously...it's bad!

  19. Cute vlog! You're so beautiful and those earrings look great on you! I can't wait for your next video - you seem like a natural to me!

  20. Beth, you look great. You have beautiful skin and gorgeous teeth. I only wish I looked half as good so up close and personal....Great post my friend.....:-) Hugs

    ReplyDelete
  21. Wow - brave and wild, both, Beth!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'm hoping that you do, you know, like it too. Can I just say for some odd reason, I noticed you have really beautiful teeth... they're even and white and I was just fixated for some reason even though really all of you is equally as beautiful! Loved hearing you!

  23. A natural? I felt like I walked into your kitchen and sat in on a conversation you were having with a best friend at your table over coffee.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Totally cool!!! It is good to see you. Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I didn't know that I could adore you more! mwah!!!

    I'm not sure why I'm surprised...you sound a bit different than I thought you would. Maybe the voice is a bit deeper than I expected - but in a good sex-ay way. LOL

    Love your necklace - I don't wear earrings because They bug me. Yay for you being brave.

  26. oh just love you!!! you are so brave so incredibly brave. It was so great to hear your voice and see your words flow out of your mouth. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. You are beautiful. I cannot wait to see and hear more ;)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oh Beth it's great to see you face to face. Love what you did and had a big laugh over the fact how long you can talk about earrings....yea you rock woman. I never ever could do this I think...I'm so darn camera shy I would turn out too funny and scare the s..t out of you all. But I am so glad again,...to have seen you, hear you I might play it again and drink a coffee with you(maybe this is an idea for your next video blog). Looking forward to it. Dagmar

  29. I think your Vlog went perfectly! I love it because now when I read your words, I can hear your voice and that is major for me...

    I've heard people remark about the the whole opposites thing when doing the vlog and me, myself, I would get a small case of nausea or something with trying to do it...

    ReplyDelete
  30. brave & beautiful beth!! loved your vlog. and your word for this year and the fact that you don't know what it is you'll be doing but you'll be doing. i am right there with you. :) and i agree with kt, the earrings look great on you. xx s

  31. Nah, no issue being on camera for me ;-) I do these but haven't in a while. I'm actually working on one because people enjoyed my vlogs and started asking what happened to them.

    Really the secret to it all is to keep focus on the light by the lens and imagine your friends are there and you're talking to them. It's strange doing these video posts at first but you will start having more and more fun with them before you know it.

    MORE VIDEOS!!!

  35. I don't have a video camera but maybe I'll try a self portrait soon, I find it really difficult to look at pictures of myself. I think you did a great job of your first video blog.

  37. I really enjoyed this video. Your voice sounds just as I imagined. That is so very cool.

    I am very self conscious in front of a camera, especially video. You did a great job.

  38. Loved your video and the earrings from Target. What fun to see you sitting there talking to us. I am not sure I would be that brave.

  40. Everything about this is perfect.
    You are a such an inspiration in a gentle and easy and empowering way.
    That your pictures and words always reflect kindness, compassion, and gratitude is reinforced in this vlog.

  42. I forgot to leave this comment when I watched you. That just goes to show how caught up I got in the watching.

    What I was going to say is that, you sound EXACTLY the way I envisioned you would sound. And,

    I don't know if that exercise helped you to love your face more, but it sure helped me to love you even more.

  43. applause, Applause, APPLAUSE!

    Way to go you brave girl. I loved this. And, your earrings.

  44. Hello!

    That was a cool video! Well done!! I am a portraitartist so I paint portraits; peoples faces. But I am really having a problem with my own face! I could ever do this what you just did. It was inspiering though to wach you talk right into the camera - and who knows? With some PRACTICE maybe even I could become this brave!!!

    love,
    Olga

  45. Beth, you are such a cutie! A beauty, really... :) If I ever made a video of myself, it would be with a big hood over my head lol So I guess I'm not really there yet in the "loving my face" race... :)

    ReplyDelete
