While you are spot on your roughly biweekly schedule, it feels like so long since you were on because we are coming directly off the daily vlogmas videos! So happy to see everyone welcome you back and excited for this video :)

Oh YES! I am home alone tonight and now I'll have a cozy Morgan video to keep me company :)

Oh Morgan my husband just brought me a delicious cup of coffee and I have pancakes. Perfect timing to enjoy your video. I feel like watching your content is catching up with a dear friend.

The fact that I've been following you and your content for nearly 5 years, after coming across your 5 AM Morning Routine in the summer of 2020 is mad to me, and I've enjoyed every minute of it!
Welcome back, and Happy New Year! I've missed you, Mo

Gosh, Morgan, I've missed your videos so much since Vlogmas 🤍 So glad to see a new video from you

[emilygerenser]

Yay! Awesome Video! I loved “A Psalm For the Wild Built.” It made me want to want to figure out a way to serve tea to my patients at work. That way I could be a Tea Monk too.

Mo, after waiting for one and a half months, I received your puzzle yesterday, just in time for my bday (which is tomorrow). I can't explain how happy I am to have something that was made by you, being that I live in Argentina. Thank you so much! I will be enjoying it tomorrow 💜
