When you're living in a tiny space (in our case 3 little shipping containers) it's important to get organized so that you can find the stuff you need right when you want it. We are pretty much the opposite of minimalists, we love finding new hobbies, new skills, and all those things come with their own little sets of gear, so for us, it was important to really separate things into categories and find a system that makes it possible to pursue creative projects quickly and easily. There's still a little room for improvement in terms of category sub-organization, but overall these little changes have made a MASSIVE improvement in our life already and its been incredibly rewarding to keep tinkering. If you have any organization tips, please send them our way, we love getting good advice!!!
Big love,
Dana, Lou, Max & Freja

I remember those art journal videos vividly. That is where I started watching you both. I was soo inspired by your art journals and traveling. But especially the art journals. That is awesome to become inspired again. You've come a long way sister girl.😇🥰
I remember those journals she did. I started with them when they were living in Germany at Lou's parents' apartment.

Cant even express how special that is for me to hear ❤ thanks for hanging out with us all this time :) here's to even more creative projects ahead!! hope you are finding lots of creative joy ❤
"Ya girl is back in action".. i feel it! So glad you have such a phenomenal support in Lou, Dana. That makes life so much sweeter.
Thank you!! As a kid you hear people talking about their partners as "They're my rock!" and wonder what the heck does that mean? But boy does it make sense now :) Thanks Karyl and wishing you a wonderful day ❤
That thumbnail is BRILLIANT!
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Haha thank you so much!! It was so fun to do 😀❤
The gift of supportive people in your life (and for that person to be your partner in life, as well) is invaluable. I never knew what true support looked like until I met my partner. Lou is amazing. ❤
Truly, beyond grateful ❤ And so happy for you to have this magical experience as well... support really is a gift ❤
I think it’s significant that your sense of creative flow is coming after your trip to Colorado. I’m a big advocate of a change of venue, particularly when you get to explore and do different things, spurring creativity when you get home. I’ve been forgetting this in my own life lately, thinking that I just need more discipline, but that on its own never produces that creative flow state for me. It’s been helpful for me to see your vacation from your daily creative work life and your at-home reorganization inspiring you!
I think you are so right about the significance of that... the freshness of new input, of time to rest the brain, of time away so that you come home with new eyes :) thank you so much for putting it into words so beautifully! wishing you all the very best with your creative projects ❤
The pic of u2 kissing on floor and max playin around all the things is so adorable awwww 🥰💌😘😘😘
haha awww thank you so much!! Glad you like it ❤
@@WildWeRoam v 😍 cute. Perfect lil summary of yalls work on the containers 🏡🔨💗
1:20 out of curiosity why does your dad take notes at movie theatres?
I used to LOVE those art journaling videos. Can’t wait to see more collaging and journaling of your new phase of life! ✨
Yay!! Thank you so much Rebecca, that makes me so happy to hear ❤big hugs
I discovered your channel through the venice art journal video and have been following along since. So special to watch various chapters of your life unfold as I move through chapters in my own life
I love the closing shot of Freja! She's such a beautiful dog
I loved those travel journals. Please do more. They inspired me.
What a beautiful thumbnail. Lou is always looking out for you and has a world of solutions to make your lives better. Big hugs and lots of happiness to your gorgeous family ❤❤❤😂
I was thinking about those overhead collage videos just this week! You made them at a time when I was teaching high-school English in France, and I actually created a lesson plan around one of them! Glad to see you getting creative!
Oh my gosh!! That is incredible ❤ Literally tearing up, I can't believe that inspired a lesson plan... thanks so much for letting me know ❤did the students make collages? I am really so touched :)
@@WildWeRoam We didn't get around to collages, but we had lots of new vocabulary, creative inspiration and a discussion about travel! Thanks for the inspiration! 😊
This video is such good inspiration. Beautiful!
I remember your art journalling travel videos! 😃 I'm so happy that your creativity is pouring out of you in this season. Beautiful & inspiring
thank you so much, Emily ❤ very kind of you to say!! hope you are finding inspiration and delight this season, too!!
I remember one of your drawings during that period of a rock archway that was awesome.
Ok, this is kinda crazy: i literally put the finishing touches on my new studio TODAY(feeling the lightning issue ;)). It is so true: energy flows sooo much better! And: I am an Artist and I absolutely know the feeling of not being the one who writes. Be careful, though: It might feel all easy and flowy, but this sort of creative process is more demanding than you would think. Take good care of yourself!
Oh wow!! So exciting, I hope you have been enjoying all your effort into your studio!! That must feel amazing, congratulations ❤ And thank you so much for the reminder--it is so true haha!
Mother Earth magazine! Oh my! I remember !
Oh wow!! How cool, did you like it? Its so interesting to flip through!
@@WildWeRoam I did. It was a good representation of things that I was ( & still am ) interested in, it has been a minute, if memory serves me, I really enjoyed anything about gardening & food & the unique way they put it together.
Wonderful ways to make a creative space more functional and fun, Lou! Collages! Yay! Brilliant thumbnail ❤
Thank you so much, really glad you liked it :) ❤
Have you read Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May? Some of her chapters are arranged around different sensory inputs that are a focus for refueling, like Light, Hot Water, etc. I think meditations focusing on different sensory inputs, especially natural ones would be great idea. Living as simply as you do, I could imagine that you could bring so much substance to the little things that bring comfort and things that could be easily recognizable by everyone.
Oh I havent heard of that book but it sounds right up my alley, thanks so much for the suggestion!! That is such a wonderful idea for meditations, too :) Thank you!! ❤
I remember the collages. So happy you're doing them again. I've been following you since the little remote house where you built the van and planted the seed for your dream dog. ❤
Oh wow ❤ thank you so much for spending time with us all these years :)
Oh my goodness, I really love your slow-filming. But back to this creative stuff is fun too. (The art traveling books you made in Greece are still vivid in my memory!)
So true, organizing helps create flow, reduce distractions. It looks lovely ! And the lil bed pockets are on point. ✨💛✨ I’ve been watching your channel for years. It’s so awesome to see the journey! Max is adorable ! ✨🌟✨
Getting organized makes all the difference!!! The lights are perfect 🎉
Yes! Bring back THE collages! I remember them so well!
By the way, Love the thumbnail for this video : D
I bought your meditations a few weeks ago and they are so soothing. The background music/sounds, plus Dana's super calming voice, makes it so easy to zone out and get into that meditative space. Whenever my head feels particularly full/cluttered, I love to revisit them. I particularly like that some are for lying down and some for sitting up. It helps me switch, depending on my energy levels. Can't wait for the next collection. Have you considered doing a 7 day series?
This is so wonderful to hear, thank you ❤ so happy you like them!! Thanks for the idea too!! Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Heather ❤
Loved the video and this thumbnail is so lovely 😍
I absolutely adored your travel journal videos and am so excited & happy to hear you’re feeling inspired to do some collaging again!! 😊 I still find myself replaying those videos when I’m in need of comfort, companionship, or inspiration in my own creative work and I share them frequently with folks I know who are attempting art journaling & want inspiration. So grateful for everything you share! 🩷
Jess, that means so much to me to read ❤ Thank you so much for sharing. So often we think from one video to the next, always ahead, that is means so much to think that you may revisit old videos in that way :) so glad you like them. Sending you many inspiration vibes your way ❤
Started following during the Odie days. Always thought Dana’s voice would be amazing for guided meditations. You guys are cool.
Awesome on the meditations & the manifestations. ✨✨💛🌞💛✨✨love that flow ✨✨💛✨✨
Very excited for all your next creative projects! I feel very inspired as I’ve been in a creative rut for a while ✨ Can’t wait for the next meditations, I’ve been listening to your meditations daily and actually started a daily meditation practice 🤩
Wow!! That makes me so happy to read, from helping you with the creative rut (we all meet that rut sometimes!!) and the meditation practice ❤ Thank you and hope you enjoy it!
I LOVE YOU DANA
You are such an inspiration. Hearing you talk about creating felt like it activated something inside of me. So thankful for people like you who make things as an expression of love instead of from ego. I get so intimidated by the critical nature of the internet but there is so much power in sharingg. Your love of collage and journaling and meditation reminded me what art is for. ❤ im thankful for you and the little place you hold in my internet buddy space. Joy literally radiates off of you always🫶🏻
❤❤❤ Caris, thank you soooo much. It is still scary to share, but comments like yours keep the motivation and inspiration within me, too ❤ Thank you for the love and happy energy :) sending lots your way!!!
Dana. You seem so much more yourself in this video than you have in the last year. 🥰
Thank you for sharing your journey with rediscovering the things you love and what brings you joy. It’s very inspirational especially for someone who is currently trying to find their way back to themselves it gives me hope ❤
This video brought me such joy....the new mediation series sounds amazing, the art journals are inspiring and your ideas on organization and home improvement were great. Sending you lots of good energy and hopefully sunny weather. Thanks for sharing this video....always makes my day
Really loved this week's video!
You should look into Junk Journaling as well Dana. I loved when you were doing your sketching. Also mother earth magazines are amazing!
I've been successfully meditating once a week ever since i started your meditations, for me it's a hige improvement and i cant wait for the next ones.
I am so excited to hear that ❤
small victories 😊😊😊
Dana you look so beautiful these days, you are glowing!
Aw thank you, Nae! That is so sweet of you to say ❤
It sounds like you are tapping into your higher self, when you describe that you don’t feel like you are the one writing or when leaving your self recordings. You are perhaps creative more easily, because you are meditating, you are connected with nature and you are paying attention to the magical moments of when you first awaken. 🦋🌿🗝️😊
That is a beautiful way to describe it, thank you Carrie ❤ maybe thats it... :) hope you are excited about any creative projects you may be planning this year!
@@WildWeRoam oh I love that! I would like to start painting on canvas. I have all the supplies. I am just waiting for those moments of creativity. ☺️
Yay! woohoo
I know exactly what you mean its like the creativity pours out!
Yes Dana! Watch the Ted Talk on creativity with Elizabeth Gilbert. She touches on what you said exactly, the art just comes to you and flows through you!
Additionally, yes, you have a wonderful man. You're so lucky to have him and he's so lucky to have you! You create the space for him to be able to provide. It's your lucky combination ❤ great work guys!
Oh how cool, I will definitely check that video out, thank you!! ❤
You are both soooo inspiring 💚
I remember the collage journaling!
Lou is the best.
Could you please share the brand, model, etc. of the new printer? 🙏
Love this episode! May I ask where you did buy the pen with a light in them...?
Love your voice!❤
Everything looks great! What is the printer you guys ended up using for the thumbnails?
What brand is this printer?
Where can I get those pen that has a light? They seem amazing
Hey Fam! How do I find the meditations?
Make sure there is no copyright on the pictures you use in the collages!
You can make absolutely anything you want with anything you want. It's a problem only if you try to sell them as your own.😊
@@peggyprose they said they wanted to use the collages as promo pictures for the meditations. That’s why I was concerned.
❤️ wonderful video. Not trying to alarm you, i’ve some little knowledge about dogs and I can see some sings of weak hips on Freya 😕 I hope she’s okay and i’m just exaggerating… if you didn’t notice, please let it be checked by an veterinarian ❤️ Only love!
@@WildWeRoam_on_tel-egr-am hi there 👋🏼 well, her walk is a little unstable and her last third of her body is lower than usual (in what i can see of it in your videos offcourse). It seems like her legs/hips move ‘too much’. ‘Hip Dysplasia’ is commonly known to affect German Sheperds (due to selective breeding), which means they have more laxitiy in the hips. (For short dogs, this is no problem because the muscles of the legs take it over. For bigger dogs, it can cause pain,..)
Freya could be totally okay, but there are some things I would like, as a dogowner myself, to verify with the veterinarian for some professional advice.
Take care, lots of love from Belgium 😊
When you create like that, where it feels like you are not doing it is because you are connected to the source.
The Holy Spirit works is such unimaginable ways. God is great.
