100 Subscribers!

-


 Well today...28th January 2025 is the day I have reached the amazing milestone of 100 subscribers on my YouTube Channel. Yes, I did that. 

I picked up my camera.....multiple times and said what I was thinking. I chose an editing software that I can work with. I posted the videos. I wrote the titles. I made thumbnails. I wrote descriptions. I made changes where I felt I needed to. I made something and people like it. I created this and people are responding and showing up for ME! How amazing is that? 

That is a lot of I. But it is true. 100 people have shown up for me and it isn't perfect, it doesn't fit with a specific niche. The thumbnails, titles and descriptions are messy in places. So is the editing, the lighting, the sound etc. But it is mine and I love it and clearly some other people do too. 

I am terrible at self promotion because I usually feel unadequate, unworthy and never good enough. Tears streaming as I type this out, but honestly this time they are not just sad, but proud tears. I must be good enough for 100 people and maybe more in the future. 

I am not alone though. I had a lot of help. Those who helped me the most know who they are. Always there for me, always supportive, always being my biggest fans. 

So right now I am grateful that you all Just Picked Me and determined to keep doing this because I like it at my pace and in my time. 

 


Until next time

40 before 40! The Full List

Well here is a challenge!  My husband asked me what I'd like to do for my 40th which is coming in 10 months. I said I'm not sure. There's lots of things I'd like to do really. I'd love to travel, eat nice things, see family, be productive at home, be alone, so quite a mixture really. Then it came to me while watching another YouTuber (Paul Messner) talk about the impact of doing something different. I'd like to do 40 things before I turn 40. These could be small and take a day to do. They could be big and take a week to do. Some things will take time, money and planning. They can be huge and take all 10 months. But all of them should be an experience, achieve a goal and / or improve my life in some way.  Doing the adventure of the UK road trip has really inspired me that things like that are possible. It is possible to do things that are different to the norm. I can live in a better way than before. At the moment I have no job to go to. No restriction in those t...

The best thing about solo travel can also become the worst!

I will say from the off that this post is a series of first world problems and I am very well aware that I am privileged to have these as small issues, but they felt bigger at the time and this is my blog about my feelings so with that out of the way here we go.  I love travelling and have been trying to build my own YouTube channel based around it. www.youtube.com/@justpickoneuk if you weren't aware. Travelling with my family is wonderful, I love sharing the world especially with my son, we have been on a number of holidays and days out now and he loves travelling too. But being able to travel alone is a wonderful privilege.   My most recent adventure was for 10 days and I was able to go on a 2 night cruise from Southampton to Hamburg, then a sleeper train to Stockholm, then after two flights to the mid west of the USA where I was sight seeing and chasing tornados. It was an incredible adventure and such an amazing experience.  Travelling solo allows me to stop and...

SJ Sleeper train let down - Would I do it again?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sleep on a train? No I don't mean passing out in a carriage surrounded by other passengers when having a panic when you woke up with a dribble of drool coming out of your mouth as you try very quickly to discover if you are still in time for your stop or if you have to get off at the next available one and do a double back ride of shame..... I mean sleep in a small room all to yourself like in the Agatha Christie novel Murder on the Orient Express. Well I have.......minus the murdering.  I thought about it enough to make it my number 33 on my 40Before40 list. I was thinking about doing the London to Edinburgh journey because London is easy to get to from the South Coast of England where I live and I can fly back to a close enough airport to get home again, so it sounded like a win win.  But considering the cost of doing all of that, London and Edinburgh didn't quite seem exotic enough. So when the chance came to have some time to...
