The 5 Love Languages

The 5 Love Languages

August 6, 2018 by Justine Mfulama Leave a Comment

When I first heard about the five love languages I was very skeptical. I knew that it had helped a lot of couples through their marriage struggles, but I didn’t see how it could apply to my single life. Why would I need to speak a love language if I

Consider This Before Posting Passive Aggressively on Facebook

Consider This Before Posting Passive Aggressively on Facebook

July 23, 2018 by Anna Reel 3 Comments

Ok so I have to say first: There is NO good time to warn the masses against passive-aggressiveness. It will very likely come across as passive aggressive to someone. So understand that before you get all angry and comment saying “Aren’t YOU being passive aggressive by writing this??”. Know that

November 7, 2016 by Anna Reel 3 Comments

Oh the holiday season! It’s the most wonderful time of the year, right? Perhaps the mention of the holidays instantly brought that subtle but oh-so-deep twinge of dread in the pit of your gut as you thought of holidays past. That one family member. That one conflict that arises EVERY

A Lesson on Strength From Star Trek Beyond

A Lesson on Strength From Star Trek Beyond

July 31, 2016 by Anna Reel 4 Comments

You may have heard it said that struggles and trials make a person stronger. Or perhaps you’ve jammed out with Kelly Clarkson, singing, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!” With every conflict we face, we have an opportunity–a CHOICE–to grow. However, Star Trek Beyond presents a challenging question: Is

How to Be an Encourager

How to Be an Encourager

June 25, 2016 by Anna Reel 4 Comments

To “encourage” means “to inspire courage.” It uses the power of words to inspire such courage. For some, it is a foreign language, often due to growing up without hearing it spoken very often. But some are naturally born encouragers (I happen to be one!). We all have different strengths

I made a Pokeball toss game! I immensely underesti I made a Pokeball toss game! I immensely underestimated how long it would take to make. I think I even finished 3 audiobooks while making it 😳 But it turned out so well, and I’m really proud of it ☺️

A few years ago I made my 1st collage vision board A few years ago I made my 1st collage vision board in my planner and it’s become a fun tradition for me.

However this year has been nuts and I may have only just recently made 2024’s 😂

Since we’re already in October, it’s part “what was envisioned” and a little part “what happened.”

My “One Word” for 2024 has been “hygge” ☺️, the danish word that describes a quality of coziness, comfort, contentment, and enjoying the simple good things of life with good people. 

Now that we’ve entered my favorite 3 months of the year, we’re about to get EXTRA hygge up in here! 😍🤗👵🏻☕️

You can learn more about why I chose this word on my blog TheReelanna.com or YouTube.com/TheReelAnna

The big sticker labeled Belle on the top of the left page is because Belle became my comfort movie. 🥹 

I saw it for the 1st time in February with a close friend, then last month I rewatched it and something more clicked for me—it’s become one of my favorite movies! I’ve watched it 6 times already 😅😍 The animation, story, and music are all are so incredibly gorgeous! 

Did you choose a word for your year? Or create a vision board? I’d love to hear about it! ☺️

My Grandma Mary Jo passed away on Thursday Novembe My Grandma Mary Jo passed away on Thursday November 16th and we had the funeral today.

She was the sweetest woman you’d ever meet. Even when she got dementia, she’d give compliments and “I love you”s to everyone, including strangers. 

I was able to visit her in hospice to say goodbye, holding her hand the way she used to hold mine. 

I love you, Grandma. And I miss you. Thank you for all of your unconditional love throughout my life. 💜

I still can’t believe I’ve been streaming. Tal I still can’t believe I’ve been streaming. Talking live is one of my greatest fears and I’ve been doing it regularly! 😱

This pic is a screenshot from my party stream celebrating becoming a Twitch Affiliate. I put a sticker on my face for each new subscriber and we passed all our sub goals by far in just 1 stream! 🤯

Soon we’ll be having some giveaways, a stream with my husband, a community game night, and more! I just need to figure out my schedule so I can let you guys know ahead of time! 💜

Thank you so much for all of the support. My heart is so full and my mind is still processing all that’s happened!

We had part 1 party on Sunday, playing Pokémon Shining Pearl. And now that I finally have a subscribe button, emotes, channel points, and more, we are having a part 2 party on Tuesday!!!! 🥳 We might have a part 3 on Wednesday as well!

I’ll put a Pokémon sticker on my face for each sub I get, and I have some little incentives for reaching different amounts of subs.

I’m so excited to celebrate together! 🥰🥳
