Getting back on track after everything goes wrong

Getting back on track after things go wrong. It been a wild start to October. I was hoping for a smooth October reset video! However we ended up with an out of control emergency bush fire and had to pack to potentially evacuate. Stressful couple of days and then I did somethings to recover and feel more organised after everything. Getting back on track after things go wrong

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings! I remember your video where you talked about the fires from 2019. Even though I am so far away, it really touched me what had happened to your family and so many others. Greetings from Germany!

[MaryJane-ztpn]

Rachael, you definitely weren’t being dramatic at all. You were responding to a very traumatizing situation, and imo you handled it very well! I’m so glad your family & home were okay ❤ Really sad Australia is dealing with this again

[mariahm]

Omg I was so stressed watching you prepare to possibly evacuate. Your poor mom, I can't imagine having to face going through that whole experience again! Glad you're safe! Hugs to you both! The room colour looks beautiful! Great choice/job! ❤

[AnonYmous-UserNotFound]

My brother has flown over from NZ in the past to fight one of your big fires a few years ago. I still think of the photos he took often. Can’t imagine how scary that must be being in the thick of it. So glad you’re ok.

[valeb]

That was really scary, I’m happy to know you and your family are safe. Don’t feel bad about not being there the last time. There’s no way to know how things would’ve gone if you were, you could’ve gotten hurt or something, and you couldn’t guess what was going to happen to your mom and her house. I’m sure she’s glad you were far away and safe from it. You and your family (and everyone there) have been so strong, I can’t imagine what it’s like going through that. Thankfully we don’t have as many natural disasters here as I see in other countries. I wish you all the best, enjoy these months you get to be there with your family before your next adventure begins 😊 it’s always inspiring to watch you move on with your life, goals and adventures. Hugs, from Uruguay 😊 🇺🇾 🇦🇺

[ElleNaturally]

So relieved you are all ok and your mum’s home didn’t get caught in the fire’s path ❤

[emilykf]

Team Jess forever!! I’m so glad you and your home are safe! 🤍

[lydiajimenez]

I got goosebumps when you said that you got a full night of rain bcos it was precisely what was needed. I'm so very happy to hear the fire's under control. Also, on a different note, that green color is the exact tone I imagined for your bedroom. It's beautiful & calming & suits the place perfectly 💚

[leahbarton]

What we just saw you go through is a very human moment so don't ever apologise for that. We too had terrible fires here in Stanthorpe a few years ago, mum and dad, along with their three dogs loaded up the car and had to evacuate. I wasn't here at the time and there were a few months after that where I felt that I should have because there is no way I want my family to go through that alone again. When there are three dogs in the car, it doesn't leave much room for anything else but some tinned food and the water you can grab as you race out the door. I really resonate with how you felt . .
The wall colour looks beautiful, it's giving Van Der Woodsen's when they lived in the Plaza Hotel. Beautiful.

[alicias-a-list]

You precious girl, you can ALWAYS talk to us! Someone here may know what you're going through and may be able to advise you even. I hate you all are going through this again in a 4 year period of time! Wish there was something they could do there to calm these flare ups. I'm praying for you and I'm sure everyone else here is too!

Ok so everything worked out - I'm SO happy for you all!

[maddieharveymusic]

Gilmore girls is my all time favorite show! It makes me so happy that my favorite YouTuber watches it too😊❤

[g.imperial]

I'm glad you and your family are ok! Thanks for trying to keep us in the loop despite the stress and anxiety you must be going through. Praying for a safe rest of the season! Also, you might have inspired me to start paint-by-numbers....

[ohsolovelymrs]

I can’t imagine how stressful that must have been. I’m so glad you and your family are ok. And that green is such a lovely color. Makes me want to paint something green now…😊

[The.EditedRose]

Team Jess!! I rewatched the Year in a Life the other week and that was insane as well! Especially the Logan/Rory relationship :O

[Sares]

Oh man, Rachel I’m so sorry for you and your mum and your pa, being threatened with all of that again 😖 So thankful it didn’t reach any of you this time! And devastated for those who did lose their homes 😣 I’ve never been through fire, but was in Brissy during the ‘22 floods. Thankfully nothing happened to my family, but a lot of my friends’ and neighbours’ - people just the next suburb over in every direction from where I lived then - homes were partially damaged or completely destroyed. So thankful we were so lucky, obviously grateful, but can completely relate to how scared and guilty you feel. That limbo where you don’t know if you should go or stay and seeing others suffer and not being able to do anything is just so horrible and eerie. I completely lost any capacity to think a rational thought when my little bro, who was my housemate at the time, left to go check on our parents but then couldn’t get back home 2 hours later because every possible way home was flooded - we only lived like 10 mins away from them - and the water was coming up through the drains in my parents’ complex and everyone’s yards were flooded. It’s awful and my heart goes out to you guys and everyone else who was affected.

On a much happier note 😅 You’re room looks freakin’ awesome!!!! That colour is stunning!! 😍

[theretiredlife]

Being from Victoria, my thoughts immediately went to you and your family in the last week. Glad to hear you and your loved ones are safe and well. Fingers and paws crossed this continues. Take care.
As difficult as it is - when something like this happens, grab everything that is difficult/impossible to replace - documents, insurance policies, photos, momentos of loved ones.

[lindaholm]

Such an intense thing to go through, the uncertainty and worry. So glad you and your family are safe and well. Hope the rain brings some relief and comfort to you, thanks for sharing this experience xx

[deliciouslyme]

How very stressful for you and your mom. I am so glad all is ok now. Your room is looking cosier by the minute! Also, so happy that you have found someone who is there for you and you are both on the same page and all is working well. Life is good! :)

[traceybeaumont]

So glad you decided to share your traumatic time with us and I was pleased to see the diaries/journals were going in the suitcase. Glad it all worked out ok and hopefully you can now settle in your new room.

[thesimplechiclife]

hopes and prayers your way Rachell!!!! ❤
