I absolutely would love to see the renovation of your home. Historical renovations are my jam 🤗! Congratulations on your new beginning 🎉! Wishing you all the peace and creativity and discovery your heart desires ❤️🙏🏽.
yes indeed very well said ..Wishing youlove luck and laughter May the sunshine warm apon you ... looking forward very much to following your house renovation and all your creativity
As a French woman who is mostly familiar with Paris and the Parisian region, I have to say I am very excited about you sharing content about Provence and content about the renovation of a house in Provence would be absolutely amazing! I have been following you for a few years and I am glad you decided to take this step for you and to take care of yourself. Prenez bien soin de vous Justine, et félicitations pour le déménagement! Je vous souhaite vraiment le meilleur!
I would LOVE to see the renovation of your home! I'd also love to see some vlogs around the area/town. Provence is an area of France I have not yet been to but really want to visit one day, it looks beautiful there from all the videos and photos I've seen. Congratulations on your move and home!
Yes, the weight of the world is pretty crushing these days. Relocating and creating a new living space seems a wonderful way to renew life and spirit. Would so enjoy seeing your renovation of the space!
It's nice to see someone (outside of full time activist and those directly impacted) talk about how ongoing political issues and the climates emergency have affected them mentally, we don't see enough of it and it can feel like you're the only one who cares. And defo share the renovation process, I love home decor and old houses
Justine - Too often, we get stuck in, "this is the plan and it's how life is going to always be." I'm toasting to you - new chapters, new projects, new opportunities for growth. Thank you for considering taking us along for the ride. I can't wait to see what you do next!
So very happy for you. I am from Ukraine, and there I thought that pandemic was the biggest issue, and was happy we were getting back to normal. But sometimes life has other plans. Your channel is a breath of fresh air now even more than ever, and I am so very thankful to you for taking us along on your journey. ✌🏼💛
Yes Klaus Schwab and his cronies WEF , NATO,UN & EU including DrFauci and the plandemic now they want a war, evil SOB’s , don’t let them win stay strong 💪
I personally love seeing how innately creative people apply their sense of color and shape and pattern to other areas of their life. I think it would be fantastic if you took us along with you as you renovated and decorated this new house!
I moved from England to Greece. I just had enough. My country is becoming more and more clusterfuck. I was feeling cornered. I found a way to go to Greece with all of this mess happening. And I am relieved. So much.
@@folded_pizza Far away from the Tories is a good thing. And every country has its downs. But Greece is better than England right now. I will not be staying in Greece permanently, it's just to study, however it's a nice change of air.
I also felt burnt out, depressed and tired during my last months in Berlin and then we moved to Switzerland, it's beautiful here, people are so chill, the air fresh and the nature wonderful. No regrets. Good luck with your new step, Justine! Provence is one of the most beautiful places in the world, I hope you'll take us on a trip around Provence and your new beautiful house!! Good luck!
Enjoying nature in the times of pandemic is wonderful. But also around Berlin is nature. So nature is not the reason alone.. By the way, Swiss is expensive, too. She must go home in a case of a " nearly burn out", this is obvious. No discussion.
I would love to see a home renovation in all stages: before/during/reveal. Also without giving up privacy, I would also like to see the countryside around the home. Maybe exploring local shops also? Getting any canine or feline roommates? Please share whatever is comfortable and safe.
Provence will be WONDERFUL! Great move... Excited for you! I wish there were a way to escape the madness happening in the world right now, but it seems like the division and direction is global. I feel very scared and worried about it too. ~Erin xo
You’re not alone. I mourn the pre-pandemic world (which still had big problems) everyday. I miss a lot of things I used to take for granted. Freedom and privacy have taken a big hit. We have so much fear and division now, although, ironically, that has helped me to find more common ground with those I used to view as radically different from me. I wish you peace. Love is the antidote to fear.
Every happiness for the next chapter in the book of Justine. So many of us feel unsettled and anxious due to the pandemic and events that continue to unfold on the world stage. We all must do what’s right for us. Bravo…and yes, I would be very interested to see the renovations to your home in Provence. Regards, Patricia from Canada. 🌻
definitely interested in the renovation series, i'm sure that you will come up with something chic and authentic :) and as a Ukrainian, I wish people would never postpone turning their dreams and plans into reality, do listen to yourself and let yourself live a truly wonderful life. until recently I didn't fully realize how fragile everything is. take care!
Yes, I would definitely love to see your renovation, Justine. Congratulations on your move and for having the courage to do what it takes to have the life you want!!
As an architect, I'm interested in every detail of the house, especially bc of the historical roots! Good luck Justine in this new journey of yours! :)
Congratulations on becoming a homeowner, Justine! This sounds like the perfect move for you. Yes, we would all love to follow your renovations and see more of your lovely house as you turn it into a home. Wishing you healing, happiness and and a new burst of creativity!
Ms. Justine, I wish you well on your adventure from Germany to France: city to village, flat to house, renovation to original architecture; and most of all, recent joyless-ness to your authentic happy self again😘 Best wishes from Arizona, USA
All the best to you Justine, and good on you for actually doing something about the way you’ve been feeling! I hope you feel a lot happier very soon! ❤️
Many good wishes for a successful move back to France, Justine. Like everyone else else in the comments, please share your reno journey! Thank you. Mamie from Vancouver, Canada. 😊
As others have said, you look happy, Justine. We all know that getting back up and changing directions is difficult AND takes a lot of courage, so thank you for the inspiration! And, the answer to the question about what types of videos we would like to see is... All that you mentioned and more please! I'm excited to see everything.
Dear Justine, I admired you a lot. Now, after this "private" video, I admire you even more: getting out of the comfort zone (again!), hell yes! You are going to be more successful and at peace where your heart needs to be. Huge hug and lots of love!
Can’t wait to see this adventure! Yes to showing us the renovation, yes to sharing Provence! To an American, the south of France is about as romantic a location as you could have landed. Congratulations!
Justine: This move is so right for you. Being back where you belong has a healing that nothing else can compare to. I wish you every success and happiness with your move, and I know you'll be blissfully glad to have made the move. All the best.
Justine, I would really like videos about the region, the food, your renovations, the garden, and the lifestyle, as well as the videos I am used to seeing from you. This is a great opportunity to expand your channel. I’m looking forward to what you will do. Congratulations!
There are no endings, only new beginnings. The good stuff about the old, you'll bring with you. The bad, you'll heal from and forget about. I feel privileged to share this new adventure with you :-)
Such a brave move to embark upon. What a fabulous place to live in France. I have been there from the U. S. I totally understand about the weight of the turmoil in the world upon us. I stopped watching the news at least a year and a half ago. As a retired person, I can’t believe this is my life now with all this craziness. I wish you well on your new journey, which I am sure you will be quite successful. Can’t wait to see your renovations. Your home looks amazing from what I can see.
I left Berlin last year, had enough. My husband is from Lisbon so we moved to the countryside about an hour away. Our house sale went through a few days ago and we're busy renovating. You won't regret it!!
I understand how you feel completely. I feel the same. During lockdown I realised that I'm not very happy where I Iive in a suburb of East London. The town is expanding rapidly, they're building hundreds of new houses on our green spaces. The traffic is already bad and it will get much worse. The crime rate is getting worse too. Police cars are becoming an almost everyday occurence in my area and someone was actually shot a couple of years ago. They survived, thank goodness, but it was all to do with drugs. So it's time to go and I'm buying an older house, with a garden, near the sea. Not as adventurous as you but still an unknown area where I'll have to start from scratch. I'm excited, a bit scared and very optimistic. I know it's the right thing to do. I wish you all the very best for your future and I would love to see what you do with your new house. 300 years old, wow! Mine is only 120 years old but my current flat is modern so I too want to treasure the history of the house. And I can't wait to create a garden and grow my own vegetables and scented flowers. I will take you with me on my journey and I will accompany you on yours. Much love to you Justine x
@@ndoucette9676 I think it's the same all over the world. Our towns and cities are becoming more congested and polluted and crime rate is growing.. we can't control it but if we're lucky we can control where we live. I wish you joy on your farm 😊
I would love to see the renovation. Sounds like a great move for all the right reasons. The pandemic has made many of us feeling as if someone has pulled the rug out from under us and forcing us to re-create our lives. Congratulations on your new home!
Justine, my husband I just moved to the countryside of Maine, USA. In this crazy time, the peace and tranquility of living in a very small town, surrounded by nature is a complete blessing and I hope it will be the same for you! Please share your renovations! We purchased a historic home as well, so it would be awesome to see all that you end up doing to your home 🏡
Thanks for making this video to express a bit of what is going on inside of you. You made me feel am not alone struggling to fight myself at 39. Sending you love and strength.
First, I think a lot of people's mental health was extremely affected by the pandemic. Kudos to you for doing something drastic to take care of the situation. A lot of people are a lot more stuck (settled for years; in the same house and area for years). Look forward to your content!
Justine, your description of the effect on you of these past years and the state of the world resonates with my experience and with so many people that I know. Your face lights up when talking about your visioning of your new life. I so appreciate your sharing of your life and times. You are a deep, bright and wise person. Sending Love.
There were some moments when I had huge smile on my face, during watching you. You are brave and go with your flow. Good luck again! And big YES to the renovation related video!
How fabulous! A lovely old home in Provence - are you kidding me? What a change! But I empathize with how you have been feeling, and I’m so glad you are taking a significant step to feel renewed! Thank you for taking us along - I’m excited to see all the renovations. ❤
Justine, you look more genuinely happy and excited than I’ve seen you in a very long time. It takes a very healthy mind to not only be able to see the danger zones that we are falling into, but to take whatever drastic actions are necessary for our mental health and well being to escape them. It’s great to see your happiness, as well as your bewilderment at this new chapter, but you’ve done the hardest part-you’ve turned the page! ♥️🌷
I’m delighted to see you return to France for what ever reason but you have clearly considered what is best for you and are acting on it with your usual grace and determination. I look forward to watching you craft the house into your ‘home in Provence.’ Breathe deep and easy girl, we salute you. Kentucky, USA.
Life is way too short, we all need to find joy in our lives every day. I'm so happy for you that you've found a place that brings you peace and joy. All the best wishes in this new chapter/adventure of your life. ❤️
Bonne chance à toi chère Justine! Je suis un historien de l'art et un artiste qui a visité le sud de la France à quelques reprises et tout savouré... surtout Aix en Provence et Arles... pour la culture de la peinture. Un tel paysage inspirant inspirant!
I loved the video, the proposal for the nexts and your excitement to enjoy this new chapter of your life. And, obviously, I’ll be glad to see more of everything ☺️
First of all, I'm so glad you've 'come out on the other side'. The pandemic has been brutal for our mental health! I think you're making a wonderful move for all the right reasons. I'd love to follow your renovation journey! Sending you much love and best wishes for this new chapter of your life. ❤️🙏
Take care of yourself, Justine. Hopefully this relocation will bring the peace and healing you’re missing. Love everything you do….. so content on the renovation would be wonderful. But first take time to relax and to enjoy your new surroundings.
Dear Justine, Thank you so much for the privilege of better understanding this important time in your life and the world events and issues you care so deeply about. I hope it helps to feel supported that others share your concerns, and one hopes that our individual life choices will collectively make a difference. You may never completely understand the good effects of your influence, for example, just naming the topics of climate change and the war in your video has helped pulled these important issues to the forefront, and have sparked meaningful actions in others you may never realize. On a lighter note, you’re actually living out my dream of living in Provence and I’m so happy for you! Your new home seems like the perfect place to inspire your talent and artistry. The corner from which you recorded this video looks so charming filled with light and character. It would be awesome to follow your progress if you document it. Better yet, I wonder if there is some way we could help you…have you considered a kickstart project perhaps? I expect there are many who would support your desire to restore using the time period methods …especially if it is better for the environment and inspires others! I know I’m not alone in thanking you for your channel and wishing you our support as you turn the page in this new exciting chapter of your journey! Bon chance! ♥️
I completely understand your state of mind, Justine. I am so very tired of COVID, the threat of infection, the hassle of travel, countries that are closed to travelers, feeling despondent and down every day. Change can recharge you, and lift your spirits. Buying a house in a beautiful area sounds like heaven to me. Best of luck to you!
So relatable. We’ve all gone through those feelings these past couple of years. You are so great at articulating things. Provence stunned me. I had seen beautiful photos, but they didn’t prepare me for the extreme beauty that left me breathless. Great choice. I hope you don’t miss the city too much. Best of luck, especially getting workmen for your project. It will take far longer than you expect. You will definitely learn to slow down.
Like the book “ A year in Provence” Mayler. I couldn’t stop laughing. Read at least two more times. Even though she’s French being worldly, traveled and from big “city” is going to be enjoyable to watch her tales about adapting to live in a small Provençal village. 👍🏻😅
I left a piece of my heart in Avignon a few years ago-I love Provence. Best of luck on this new journey. And yes please bring us along on the renovations!
Would love to hear / see about the renovations. As a design historian I’m always excited to hear when someone wants to do a ‘sympathetic restoration’ that is in keeping with the original character of the building! Good luck with it all and enjoy that sunshine ☀️ 😎
I went through a burnout last year which I didn't realize it while I was in it. I understand how important it is to have a good space for your mind and body. So happy that you find your space. Look forward to seeing the house!
Thank you for acknowledging the authoritarian turn in the world. All the rest are also deeply legitimate problems, but the loss of personal freedoms is not the solution. I watch your channel because I care about the issues you address, and want to be wise in my choices. I've seen many, many individuals and groups voluntarily do great things. To apply force cheapens the love behind the sacrifices we are making to build a better world, destroys relationships of trust, and the building resentment causes further problems which take resources that could have been dedicated elsewhere.
I thought I was the only one feeling like this - feeling like I need a change every now and then, changing careers, countries ect. I'm so glad others have a similar experience!
Hi Justine, I think you’re doing absolutely the right thing, anyone who has experienced near burnout or burnout will understand exactly how frightening and unsettling it is. I also think that many many people are really upset and concerned about all the horrors in the world atm, these horrors - together with the long term effects of the pandemic on all aspects of our everyday lives - can be both depressing and exhausting . Your videos (both the fashion and these ones) are always inspiring. Good luck with the renovations to your new home. It would be great to see how it’s coming along !
Oh Justine, how exciting. I love to see people follow their dreams. You have a brightness in your smile as you talk about all this. Yes, please take us along with the house reno, too. May God bless you every day!
Hi, I totally understand how you’ve arrived at your decision and the reasons behind it. Like many, I too had reflected on my life over the last two years. The single biggest development to come out of this pandemic is that we are reviewing lives, and how we work. Geography is less important to some of us and that has opened the whole world. As a therapist, I’m doing most of my work online and realising that I could live absolutely anywhere. I cannot wait to see your new home and how you change alongside of your new hone. Provence is such a beautiful part of France and as you were speaking, I could just imagine life there. Enjoy every moment, and take care 🤗❤️
I was only in Provence once about a decade ago and the prevalent I thought while I was there was “so lucky are the people who live here”! Can’t wait to see your renovations and hearing about all the ways your life is changing for the better. Sending you lots of love and good wishes.
Just discovered your channel a few days ago and I am so happy that I found you! You are everything that is right with RUclips. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I've only watched a handful of your videos but I've learned so much that I will take with me for the rest of my life. I feel the same after the pandemic and am looking for a new place to land. I'm glad you found a new home and would love it if you shared the process of restoring your home.
I'm another vote for seeing the renovation, especially how you decide what to do yourself and what to "hire out" -- I'm looking forward to it! All the best to you in your new house, new region, new country, and on your improved non-doldrums outlook. I'm glad to hear you're taking the time to relax and rest as you need to. Take care of yourself!
I can so relate to missing the fun in life. It's been a really difficult 2 years for all of us and a really, really, really difficult 2 years for me personally. I can't remember the last time I had any fun. My hope for you is that much fun is had in this next season of life. 💞 I would very much like to see the renovation process!
This move is fantastic - you'll have to show us - it's going to be beautiful and I look forward to seeing it! My husband and I have been enviously looking at properties far from where we are now - I think many people are feeling the restlessness and are ready for change.
Welcome back Justine! Would love to see you document the whole process: where you settle down in beautiful Provence, how you renovate and decorate your new place, and how the move back to France feels (been there done that, not always easy). Can’t wait ❤️!
Well done Justine! Youll love it. We left London in the pandemic and moved to a barn in the middle of nowhere, I had panic attacks at first as I love the city and was petrified to move and now after 2 years I cannot imagine anything better. It was the best decision! Good luck and can’t wait to see the house renovation xxx
The renovation and having a glimpse of your new life and surroundings sounds great. I love change. I sold everything last summer and have been travelling since. I am happy to say that we were in Marseille when we sold our house and celebrated in Aix-en-Provence. I have such fond memories and hope to go back one day. I am also a city girl (from Toronto)but I love the space of smaller places too. Perfect for a deep breath. I am most interested by seeing how others live. How their lives compare and contrast with mine and you are fascinating.
I relate to everything you’ve said - wishing you the best of luck with the new chapter in your life!!! I’m living in the UK and for the very same reasons I’m thinking about moving back to my beautiful country of Hungary… From the city to the countryside… Such a big step that feels scary - thank you for talking about your experience and showing the way xxx
I can totally relate to your feelings and circumstances! It’s been difficult to see the way things have changed and where things are heading. It’s difficult to find the joy and fun when you feel isolated, stuck and waiting for the next ball to drop. Thanks 🙏 for sharing.
You look so happy Justine! I’d love to see your house during and after renovations. This is inspiring that you felt something needed to change and you just did it 💗
It takes so much courage to make drastic changes when you know something isn't working for you and even more courage to verbalise the thoughts behind that for the world to hear. In the UK atleast, we have all these shows, 'Escape to the Country' and 'Escape to the Chateau' which I love to watch. If you want to take us on a journey with you to establish yourself in your new corner of the world and renovate your new home, I'm very sure you'll have all the people watching escapist TV interested! I'm always wondering about silly things like how you arrange utilities in the countryside, or how to source old-style building materials. Please do take care of yourself, and such good luck ❤️
Oh my goodness I am so happy for you! I always see these lovely, reasonably-priced houses in the European countryside and I'm so glad you're one of those people whose lifestyle allows you to move into one of them! Also thrilled that you're committed to maintaining the heritage of the house, these kinds of houses deserve owners like you!
Congratulations, Justine! My mother was an antiques dealer and she would travel to Europe and particularly to Provence. She brought back many beautiful things and I have fallen in love with the region even though I have never been to France! You are wise to pay attention to what works and what needs to be changed in your life and I wish you all the best on your new home. I, too, moved to a small rural town and love it. I also am renovating my house and so your idea of filming the process of renovating your home is a resounding YES! I love your videos so please, stay well and happy and continue! Best wishes from Kent, CT, USA.
The last few years have been so difficult for us all Justine, and it is great to hear your news. The only constant in life is change, so onwards and upwards! You are so creative, gifted and talented that it will be wonderful to see you work on your new home and embrase all that comes as part of these changes you are making. Wishing you many happy and fulfilling days ahead.
Justine, you are a lovely lovely human :) I have been watching for a long time now and I can say it seems like the perfect antidote. This community will be supportive and caring. I am thrilled for you!
Good luck with this big change Justine . I recently made a massive change too and moved away from where I had lived for 22 years. There will be good days and bad days it’s all part of the journey. Enjoy the possibilities of the new environment. Xx
Great move and great project life also. I think you've been clever and brave, such a good combination. Congrats!!! Please, show us the renovation of your new house...
Good on you for looking after yourself. We did something similar in Australia- we moved from a colder state to a warm one. The weather definitely improved my state of mind. Let your spirit recover! P.S. I’d love to see your renovations!
Forgive my ignorance, but which Australian state is "colder"? Is that just relative? My tiny experience in your lovely country was a visit to Perth a few years ago. Coming from late winter in Michigan (northern US) to early Autumn in WA was a delightful temperature shock.
@@myladycasagrande863 not op but Victoria and Tasmania are quite cold in winter. Weather in Melbourne is very up and down. While it can get quite hot it can also be freezing in summer compared to Sydney or Perth. Generally it’s very British weather (overcast, light rain) compared to other sunny cities. I moved from Sydney to Melbourne and my vitamin d dropped a lot. Doctor joked that everyone in Melb has low vitamin D because it’s alway overcast
Hey Justine, what an exciting time for you. I'm here for all the renovation content that you would like to share! I think so many of us are feeling like we want to create a sense of home for ourselves at this time. I look forward to following along and I'll try not to be too jealous of the lovely summer weather you will be enjoying! 🌞
I'm glad that you're taking the time to care for yourself; this change is inspiring and exciting. Please do share your renovations and adventures. Your joy is a wonderful thing!
Thank you for being so open about struggling with mental health. All of the things you spoke of are weighing me down also. And my mother just passed away. It feels like the entire world is spinning out of control. I hope we can all find the peace that we so desperately need.💛
I'm so excited for you lovely Justine. It's very inspiring to see people living their lifes the way they feel. Looking forward to seeing your house renovations. Best of luck ❤️🙏
I love how there is always so much thought that goes into everything you do. I love how you process everything. Provence sounds heavenly, I would really enjoy seeing the renovation process.
Hi Justine! I would love to see the renovation process specially all the research about how houses where built in that area 300 years ago. You put such care in everything you do I am sure it will be an amazing journey to watch :) Enjoy!
It sounds like a good idea to move, and Provence is heaven on earth. My husband and I travel (from Denmark) to Mirabel - a very small town near Nyons- every sommer, and spend 4 - 6 weeks in our caravan. I wish you good luck with your move and the renovation of the house.
This is wonderful news, Justine -- not that you're leaving Berlin but because you are being decisive about what is best for you and doing something about it. I am from Trinidad and Tobago, in the Caribbean. I studied in the UK, I visit on many occasions and have been to a number of European countries. I've stayed in Haute-Savoie, Lyon and Massif Central and loved them all. I studied French and I have always wanted to live in France (not Paris; had some unfortunate experiences there). I need to get to the point of my post. You have inspired me to push forward with my long overdue move. I have island fever - literally. I think I have done enough here (I work in environmental management, specialising in Climate education, so it's been an ongoing challenge, especially trying to convince our small island development state that we are most vulnerable and adaptation is so critical. I am looking forward to seeing your renovations to what seems to be a wonderful home. Thanks for being so frank about your feelings. I think you have given many of us a head start to getting out of uncomfortable situations and following the path that we want.
Did this, too. We went from a suburb outside of a big city to a village of less than 800. I am so glad we did. People are friendly, everyone has gardens and I can get much of what I need. The downside is having to drive farther for things.
I am like you, I like being able to make plans but just minutes ago while having lunch with my mom and discussing the current situation I told her that I finally learnt that having a plan is good but that you also have to be prepared for it to go sideways and not be too bothered if things change. I am in a less than ideal situation professionally and personally but now I feel more confident that somehow I will manage to be ok, like I always did. It is great that you are doing what is right for you!Good luck Justine !!!
I'm really curious to see the house and the area. Would you mind doing a house tour for us? ☺ Btw, I believe many people are on the edge of a burnout and knowing in advance, like you did, would prevent it and even save lives. Would be helpful to tell your story, so it can help others to recognize it on time. Greetings from Switzerland
So happy for you, Justine. Your new beginning sounds wonderful. I would very much love to hear about your house renovation and what life is like in a village in the south of France. Wishing you all the best.
I can relate to many of the feelings you describe about the state of the world and everything going on at the moment. It is affecting me too. I'm proud of seeing you make this decision based on your feelings and realising you need a change. It's inspiring. Love from a long-time fan
Good for you, Justine! I admire your courage in making big changes for the sake of your own happiness. And yes, would be very interested in seeing the historic renovation of your new home.
Seeing the renovation of an old house in the south of France would be magnificient!
Kisses from Serbia 😊
Bonnie chance Justine ! Tout le meilleur !😌🙃🤩🤩🤩🤩
I would love to see it too!
Yes that would be lovely! GREAT idea 💡 👍
100%
Yes please!
I absolutely would love to see the renovation of your home. Historical renovations are my jam 🤗! Congratulations on your new beginning 🎉! Wishing you all the peace and creativity and discovery your heart desires ❤️🙏🏽.
Well said!
.
Agree. Would be interesting to follow the development of the beautification of the house as & when
yes indeed very well said ..Wishing youlove luck and laughter May the sunshine warm apon you ...
looking forward very much to following your house renovation and all your creativity
I’d love to follow your renovations.
As a French woman who is mostly familiar with Paris and the Parisian region, I have to say I am very excited about you sharing content about Provence and content about the renovation of a house in Provence would be absolutely amazing! I have been following you for a few years and I am glad you decided to take this step for you and to take care of yourself. Prenez bien soin de vous Justine, et félicitations pour le déménagement! Je vous souhaite vraiment le meilleur!
I would LOVE to see the renovation of your home! I'd also love to see some vlogs around the area/town. Provence is an area of France I have not yet been to but really want to visit one day, it looks beautiful there from all the videos and photos I've seen. Congratulations on your move and home!
Yes to vlogs in the area!
Definitely would love to follow the renovation. Good luck with this new beginning.
Yes, the weight of the world is pretty crushing these days.
Relocating and creating a new living space seems a wonderful way to renew life and spirit.
Would so enjoy seeing your renovation of the space!
It's nice to see someone (outside of full time activist and those directly impacted) talk about how ongoing political issues and the climates emergency have affected them mentally, we don't see enough of it and it can feel like you're the only one who cares.
And defo share the renovation process, I love home decor and old houses
Justine - Too often, we get stuck in, "this is the plan and it's how life is going to always be." I'm toasting to you - new chapters, new projects, new opportunities for growth. Thank you for considering taking us along for the ride. I can't wait to see what you do next!
So very happy for you. I am from Ukraine, and there I thought that pandemic was the biggest issue, and was happy we were getting back to normal. But sometimes life has other plans. Your channel is a breath of fresh air now even more than ever, and I am so very thankful to you for taking us along on your journey. ✌🏼💛
hugs… thinking of a Ukranian friend, she’s not replying to me and im worried.
I hope and pray that this war, hate and greed will end soon.
🇺🇦💙💛
Slava Ukraine. I now wish I had visited it before now.
Yes Klaus Schwab and his cronies WEF , NATO,UN & EU including DrFauci and the plandemic now they want a war, evil SOB’s , don’t let them win stay strong 💪
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦💛💛💛💙💙💙
I personally love seeing how innately creative people apply their sense of color and shape and pattern to other areas of their life. I think it would be fantastic if you took us along with you as you renovated and decorated this new house!
well said!
Well done on your move!! 👏👏. Take your time and we would love to see your house project in time.
I moved from England to Greece. I just had enough. My country is becoming more and more clusterfuck. I was feeling cornered. I found a way to go to Greece with all of this mess happening. And I am relieved. So much.
That's my dream! Zakynthos, making jewelry near the waves and enjoying my frappe :)
I'm glad this country is making you happier, but as a Greek I can't not laugh at the notion that Greece isn't a clusterfuck 🤣❤️❤️❤️
@@folded_pizza Far away from the Tories is a good thing. And every country has its downs. But Greece is better than England right now. I will not be staying in Greece permanently, it's just to study, however it's a nice change of air.
@@folded_pizza As an Austrian: isn't every country a clusterfuck at the moment 😅? Wish you all the best! 💪
The same with me. Germany has become insane and we will move to Crete this summer.
I also felt burnt out, depressed and tired during my last months in Berlin and then we moved to Switzerland, it's beautiful here, people are so chill, the air fresh and the nature wonderful. No regrets. Good luck with your new step, Justine! Provence is one of the most beautiful places in the world, I hope you'll take us on a trip around Provence and your new beautiful house!! Good luck!
Enjoying nature in the times of pandemic is wonderful. But also around Berlin is nature. So nature is not the reason alone.. By the way, Swiss is expensive, too. She must go home in a case of a " nearly burn out", this is obvious. No discussion.
@@veraroyen4986 Am I questioning her reasons? No. I don't understand your comment.
Where are you in Switzerland that the people are so chill? That's not a term I associate with the Swiss!
@@pazza4555 I'm in the Eastern part, after 5 years in Germany, people in Switzerland seem very friendly and chill.
Wonderful candid "discussion of chain. Nicely done
I would love to see a home renovation in all stages: before/during/reveal. Also without giving up privacy, I would also like to see the countryside around the home. Maybe exploring local shops also? Getting any canine or feline roommates? Please share whatever is comfortable and safe.
Agreed! I would love to see the countryside as well. if that is something Ms. Justine would like to show in the videos.
Provence will be WONDERFUL! Great move... Excited for you! I wish there were a way to escape the madness happening in the world right now, but it seems like the division and direction is global. I feel very scared and worried about it too. ~Erin xo
You’re not alone. I mourn the pre-pandemic world (which still had big problems) everyday. I miss a lot of things I used to take for granted. Freedom and privacy have taken a big hit. We have so much fear and division now, although, ironically, that has helped me to find more common ground with those I used to view as radically different from me.
I wish you peace. Love is the antidote to fear.
Every happiness for the next chapter in the book of Justine. So many of us feel unsettled and anxious due to the pandemic and events that continue to unfold on the world stage. We all must do what’s right for us. Bravo…and yes, I would be very interested to see the renovations to your home in Provence. Regards, Patricia from Canada. 🌻
definitely interested in the renovation series, i'm sure that you will come up with something chic and authentic :) and as a Ukrainian, I wish people would never postpone turning their dreams and plans into reality, do listen to yourself and let yourself live a truly wonderful life. until recently I didn't fully realize how fragile everything is. take care!
Take care too!!!
Definitely- Sometimes we all take our blessings for granted. Take good care of yourself and your loved ones.
Wishing you and your family and friends the very best. Your words are so very true...Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️ 🇺🇦
@@glorianelson9538 thank you, you too💛
@@EMMYK1916 thank you❤
Yes, I would definitely love to see your renovation, Justine. Congratulations on your move and for having the courage to do what it takes to have the life you want!!
Absolutely
As an architect, I'm interested in every detail of the house, especially bc of the historical roots!
Good luck Justine in this new journey of yours! :)
I'm absolutely here for the renovation process! All the best for you, Justine!
Congratulations on becoming a homeowner, Justine! This sounds like the perfect move for you. Yes, we would all love to follow your renovations and see more of your lovely house as you turn it into a home. Wishing you healing, happiness and and a new burst of creativity!
You have expressed so many people’s feelings! I wish you the BEST! And yes I’d love to see the renovation!
Ms. Justine, I wish you well on your adventure from Germany to France: city to village, flat to house, renovation to original architecture; and most of all, recent joyless-ness to your authentic happy self again😘 Best wishes from Arizona, USA
And from another supporter in Arizona.
Best wishes from Virginia, US! ❤️🌹
Best wishes from San Diego California too!
All the best to you Justine, and good on you for actually doing something about the way you’ve been feeling! I hope you feel a lot happier very soon! ❤️
Many good wishes for a successful move back to France, Justine. Like everyone else else in the comments, please share your reno journey! Thank you. Mamie from Vancouver, Canada. 😊
As others have said, you look happy, Justine. We all know that getting back up and changing directions is difficult AND takes a lot of courage, so thank you for the inspiration! And, the answer to the question about what types of videos we would like to see is... All that you mentioned and more please! I'm excited to see everything.
Dear Justine, I admired you a lot. Now, after this "private" video, I admire you even more: getting out of the comfort zone (again!), hell yes! You are going to be more successful and at peace where your heart needs to be. Huge hug and lots of love!
Can’t wait to see this adventure! Yes to showing us the renovation, yes to sharing Provence! To an American, the south of France is about as romantic a location as you could have landed. Congratulations!
Justine: This move is so right for you. Being back where you belong has a healing that nothing else can compare to. I wish you every success and happiness with your move, and I know you'll be blissfully glad to have made the move. All the best.
Justine, I would really like videos about the region, the food, your renovations, the garden, and the lifestyle, as well as the videos I am used to seeing from you. This is a great opportunity to expand your channel. I’m looking forward to what you will do. Congratulations!
There are no endings, only new beginnings. The good stuff about the old, you'll bring with you. The bad, you'll heal from and forget about. I feel privileged to share this new adventure with you :-)
Wishing you all the best. Would love to see the renovation process.
Such a brave move to embark upon. What a fabulous place to live in France. I have been there from the U. S. I totally understand about the weight of the turmoil in the world upon us. I stopped watching the news at least a year and a half ago. As a retired person, I can’t believe this is my life now with all this craziness. I wish you well on your new journey, which I am sure you will be quite successful. Can’t wait to see your renovations. Your home looks amazing from what I can see.
I left Berlin last year, had enough. My husband is from Lisbon so we moved to the countryside about an hour away. Our house sale went through a few days ago and we're busy renovating. You won't regret it!!
I understand how you feel completely. I feel the same. During lockdown I realised that I'm not very happy where I Iive in a suburb of East London. The town is expanding rapidly, they're building hundreds of new houses on our green spaces. The traffic is already bad and it will get much worse. The crime rate is getting worse too. Police cars are becoming an almost everyday occurence in my area and someone was actually shot a couple of years ago. They survived, thank goodness, but it was all to do with drugs. So it's time to go and I'm buying an older house, with a garden, near the sea. Not as adventurous as you but still an unknown area where I'll have to start from scratch. I'm excited, a bit scared and very optimistic. I know it's the right thing to do. I wish you all the very best for your future and I would love to see what you do with your new house. 300 years old, wow! Mine is only 120 years old but my current flat is modern so I too want to treasure the history of the house. And I can't wait to create a garden and grow my own vegetables and scented flowers. I will take you with me on my journey and I will accompany you on yours. Much love to you Justine x
It seems a lot more building, traffic and crime in Naples Fl USA it’s terrible so I got a farm in Fl away from the city
Best of luck with everything
@@EMMYK1916 Thank you 😊
@@ndoucette9676 I think it's the same all over the world. Our towns and cities are becoming more congested and polluted and crime rate is growing.. we can't control it but if we're lucky we can control where we live. I wish you joy on your farm 😊
I would love to see the renovation. Sounds like a great move for all the right reasons. The pandemic has made many of us feeling as if someone has pulled the rug out from under us and forcing us to re-create our lives. Congratulations on your new home!
Justine, my husband I just moved to the countryside of Maine, USA. In this crazy time, the peace and tranquility of living in a very small town, surrounded by nature is a complete blessing and I hope it will be the same for you!
Please share your renovations! We purchased a historic home as well, so it would be awesome to see all that you end up doing to your home 🏡
Thanks for making this video to express a bit of what is going on inside of you. You made me feel am not alone struggling to fight myself at 39. Sending you love and strength.
First, I think a lot of people's mental health was extremely affected by the pandemic. Kudos to you for doing something drastic to take care of the situation. A lot of people are a lot more stuck (settled for years; in the same house and area for years).
Look forward to your content!
Justine, your description of the effect on you of these past years and the state of the world resonates with my experience and with so many people that I know. Your face lights up when talking about your visioning of your new life. I so appreciate your sharing of your life and times. You are a deep, bright and wise person. Sending Love.
There were some moments when I had huge smile on my face, during watching you. You are brave and go with your flow. Good luck again! And big YES to the renovation related video!
How fabulous! A lovely old home in Provence - are you kidding me? What a change! But I empathize with how you have been feeling, and I’m so glad you are taking a significant step to feel renewed! Thank you for taking us along - I’m excited to see all the renovations. ❤
Justine, you look more genuinely happy and excited than I’ve seen you in a very long time. It takes a very healthy mind to not only be able to see the danger zones that we are falling into, but to take whatever drastic actions are necessary for our mental health and well being to escape them. It’s great to see your happiness, as well as your bewilderment at this new chapter, but you’ve done the hardest part-you’ve turned the page! ♥️🌷
This was so nicely worded, a concise yet meaningful comment isn't so easy 🙂
I’m delighted to see you return to France for what ever reason but you have clearly considered what is best for you and are acting on it with your usual grace and determination.
I look forward to watching you craft the house into your ‘home in Provence.’
Breathe deep and easy girl, we salute you. Kentucky, USA.
Life is way too short, we all need to find joy in our lives every day.
I'm so happy for you that you've found a place that brings you peace and joy.
All the best wishes in this new chapter/adventure of your life. ❤️
Bonne chance à toi chère Justine! Je suis un historien de l'art et un artiste qui a visité le sud de la France à quelques reprises et tout savouré... surtout Aix en Provence et Arles... pour la culture de la peinture. Un tel paysage inspirant inspirant!
I loved the video, the proposal for the nexts and your excitement to enjoy this new chapter of your life. And, obviously, I’ll be glad to see more of everything ☺️
First of all, I'm so glad you've 'come out on the other side'. The pandemic has been brutal for our mental health! I think you're making a wonderful move for all the right reasons. I'd love to follow your renovation journey! Sending you much love and best wishes for this new chapter of your life. ❤️🙏
Take care of yourself, Justine. Hopefully this relocation will bring the peace and healing you’re missing.
Love everything you do….. so content on the renovation would be wonderful. But first take time to relax and to enjoy your new surroundings.
Very happy for your new chapter. Your candor about the move is so refreshing. I find you a rare voice of thoughtfulness on social media.
Dear Justine,
Thank you so much for the privilege of better understanding this important time in your life and the world events and issues you care so deeply about. I hope it helps to feel supported that others share your concerns, and one hopes that our individual life choices will collectively make a difference. You may never completely understand the good effects of your influence, for example, just naming the topics of climate change and the war in your video has helped pulled these important issues to the forefront, and have sparked meaningful actions in others you may never realize.
On a lighter note, you’re actually living out my dream of living in Provence and I’m so happy for you! Your new home seems like the perfect place to inspire your talent and artistry. The corner from which you recorded this video looks so charming filled with light and character. It would be awesome to follow your progress if you document it.
Better yet, I wonder if there is some way we could help you…have you considered a kickstart project perhaps? I expect there are many who would support your desire to restore using the time period methods …especially if it is better for the environment and inspires others!
I know I’m not alone in thanking you for your channel and wishing you our support as you turn the page in this new exciting chapter of your journey! Bon chance! ♥️
I completely understand your state of mind, Justine. I am so very tired of COVID, the threat of infection, the hassle of travel, countries that are closed to travelers, feeling despondent and down every day. Change can recharge you, and lift your spirits. Buying a house in a beautiful area sounds like heaven to me. Best of luck to you!
So relatable. We’ve all gone through those feelings these past couple of years. You are so great at articulating things. Provence stunned me. I had seen beautiful photos, but they didn’t prepare me for the extreme beauty that left me breathless. Great choice. I hope you don’t miss the city too much. Best of luck, especially getting workmen for your project. It will take far longer than you expect. You will definitely learn to slow down.
Yes, would love to see the renovation! So exciting!
Happy for you! 🌹
Like the book “ A year in Provence” Mayler. I couldn’t stop laughing. Read at least two more times. Even though she’s French being worldly, traveled and from big “city” is going to be enjoyable to watch her tales about adapting to live in a small Provençal village. 👍🏻😅
I left a piece of my heart in Avignon a few years ago-I love Provence. Best of luck on this new journey. And yes please bring us along on the renovations!
Would love to hear / see about the renovations. As a design historian I’m always excited to hear when someone wants to do a ‘sympathetic restoration’ that is in keeping with the original character of the building! Good luck with it all and enjoy that sunshine ☀️ 😎
I went through a burnout last year which I didn't realize it while I was in it. I understand how important it is to have a good space for your mind and body. So happy that you find your space. Look forward to seeing the house!
Thank you for acknowledging the authoritarian turn in the world. All the rest are also deeply legitimate problems, but the loss of personal freedoms is not the solution. I watch your channel because I care about the issues you address, and want to be wise in my choices. I've seen many, many individuals and groups voluntarily do great things. To apply force cheapens the love behind the sacrifices we are making to build a better world, destroys relationships of trust, and the building resentment causes further problems which take resources that could have been dedicated elsewhere.
I thought I was the only one feeling like this - feeling like I need a change every now and then, changing careers, countries ect. I'm so glad others have a similar experience!
Hi Justine, I think you’re doing absolutely the right thing, anyone who has experienced near burnout or burnout will understand exactly how frightening and unsettling it is. I also think that many many people are really upset and concerned about all the horrors in the world atm, these horrors - together with the long term effects of the pandemic on all aspects of our everyday lives - can be both depressing and exhausting . Your videos (both the fashion and these ones) are always inspiring. Good luck with the renovations to your new home. It would be great to see how it’s coming along !
I am praying for you, Justine. I cannot imagine what everyone is going through in Europe right now. Please take care of yourself.
Real estates exploded in Germany . Check Hamburg and Munich where I'm from. It's insane
Oh Justine, how exciting. I love to see people follow their dreams. You have a brightness in your smile as you talk about all this. Yes, please take us along with the house reno, too. May God bless you every day!
Please, show us the renovation, specially how do you feel !!!
Hi, I totally understand how you’ve arrived at your decision and the reasons behind it. Like many, I too had reflected on my life over the last two years. The single biggest development to come out of this pandemic is that we are reviewing lives, and how we work. Geography is less important to some of us and that has opened the whole world. As a therapist, I’m doing most of my work online and realising that I could live absolutely anywhere. I cannot wait to see your new home and how you change alongside of your new hone. Provence is such a beautiful part of France and as you were speaking, I could just imagine life there. Enjoy every moment, and take care 🤗❤️
I was only in Provence once about a decade ago and the prevalent I thought while I was there was “so lucky are the people who live here”! Can’t wait to see your renovations and hearing about all the ways your life is changing for the better. Sending you lots of love and good wishes.
Just discovered your channel a few days ago and I am so happy that I found you! You are everything that is right with RUclips. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I've only watched a handful of your videos but I've learned so much that I will take with me for the rest of my life.
I feel the same after the pandemic and am looking for a new place to land. I'm glad you found a new home and would love it if you shared the process of restoring your home.
could not agree more
I'm another vote for seeing the renovation, especially how you decide what to do yourself and what to "hire out" -- I'm looking forward to it! All the best to you in your new house, new region, new country, and on your improved non-doldrums outlook. I'm glad to hear you're taking the time to relax and rest as you need to. Take care of yourself!
I can so relate to missing the fun in life. It's been a really difficult 2 years for all of us and a really, really, really difficult 2 years for me personally. I can't remember the last time I had any fun. My hope for you is that much fun is had in this next season of life. 💞
I would very much like to see the renovation process!
Holly. Prayers for you too
This move is fantastic - you'll have to show us - it's going to be beautiful and I look forward to seeing it! My husband and I have been enviously looking at properties far from where we are now - I think many people are feeling the restlessness and are ready for change.
Welcome back Justine! Would love to see you document the whole process: where you settle down in beautiful Provence, how you renovate and decorate your new place, and how the move back to France feels (been there done that, not always easy). Can’t wait ❤️!
Well done Justine! Youll love it. We left London in the pandemic and moved to a barn in the middle of nowhere, I had panic attacks at first as I love the city and was petrified to move and now after 2 years I cannot imagine anything better. It was the best decision! Good luck and can’t wait to see the house renovation xxx
The renovation and having a glimpse of your new life and surroundings sounds great. I love change. I sold everything last summer and have been travelling since. I am happy to say that we were in Marseille when we sold our house and celebrated in Aix-en-Provence. I have such fond memories and hope to go back one day. I am also a city girl (from Toronto)but I love the space of smaller places too. Perfect for a deep breath. I am most interested by seeing how others live. How their lives compare and contrast with mine and you are fascinating.
A fellow Torontonian! While I love this city - not enough green space.
I relate to everything you’ve said - wishing you the best of luck with the new chapter in your life!!! I’m living in the UK and for the very same reasons I’m thinking about moving back to my beautiful country of Hungary… From the city to the countryside… Such a big step that feels scary - thank you for talking about your experience and showing the way xxx
I can totally relate to your feelings and circumstances! It’s been difficult to see the way things have changed and where things are heading. It’s difficult to find the joy and fun when you feel isolated, stuck and waiting for the next ball to drop. Thanks 🙏 for sharing.
Congratulations on a fresh start! Personally I would love to see the renovation processess, I love that kind of content.
You look so happy Justine! I’d love to see your house during and after renovations. This is inspiring that you felt something needed to change and you just did it 💗
It takes so much courage to make drastic changes when you know something isn't working for you and even more courage to verbalise the thoughts behind that for the world to hear.
In the UK atleast, we have all these shows, 'Escape to the Country' and 'Escape to the Chateau' which I love to watch. If you want to take us on a journey with you to establish yourself in your new corner of the world and renovate your new home, I'm very sure you'll have all the people watching escapist TV interested! I'm always wondering about silly things like how you arrange utilities in the countryside, or how to source old-style building materials.
Please do take care of yourself, and such good luck ❤️
Oh my goodness I am so happy for you! I always see these lovely, reasonably-priced houses in the European countryside and I'm so glad you're one of those people whose lifestyle allows you to move into one of them! Also thrilled that you're committed to maintaining the heritage of the house, these kinds of houses deserve owners like you!
Congratulations, Justine! My mother was an antiques dealer and she would travel to Europe and particularly to Provence. She brought back many beautiful things and I have fallen in love with the region even though I have never been to France! You are wise to pay attention to what works and what needs to be changed in your life and I wish you all the best on your new home. I, too, moved to a small rural town and love it. I also am renovating my house and so your idea of filming the process of renovating your home is a resounding YES! I love your videos so please, stay well and happy and continue! Best wishes from Kent, CT, USA.
The last few years have been so difficult for us all Justine, and it is great to hear your news. The only constant in life is change, so onwards and upwards! You are so creative, gifted and talented that it will be wonderful to see you work on your new home and embrase all that comes as part of these changes you are making. Wishing you many happy and fulfilling days ahead.
Justine, you are a lovely lovely human :) I have been watching for a long time now and I can say it seems like the perfect antidote. This community will be supportive and caring. I am thrilled for you!
Good luck with this big change Justine . I recently made a massive change too and moved away from where I had lived for 22 years. There will be good days and bad days it’s all part of the journey. Enjoy the possibilities of the new environment. Xx
Great move and great project life also. I think you've been clever and brave, such a good combination. Congrats!!! Please, show us the renovation of your new house...
Good on you for looking after yourself. We did something similar in Australia- we moved from a colder state to a warm one. The weather definitely improved my state of mind. Let your spirit recover!
P.S. I’d love to see your renovations!
Forgive my ignorance, but which Australian state is "colder"? Is that just relative? My tiny experience in your lovely country was a visit to Perth a few years ago. Coming from late winter in Michigan (northern US) to early Autumn in WA was a delightful temperature shock.
@@myladycasagrande863 not op but Victoria and Tasmania are quite cold in winter. Weather in Melbourne is very up and down. While it can get quite hot it can also be freezing in summer compared to Sydney or Perth. Generally it’s very British weather (overcast, light rain) compared to other sunny cities. I moved from Sydney to Melbourne and my vitamin d dropped a lot. Doctor joked that everyone in Melb has low vitamin D because it’s alway overcast
Hey Justine, what an exciting time for you. I'm here for all the renovation content that you would like to share!
I think so many of us are feeling like we want to create a sense of home for ourselves at this time.
I look forward to following along and I'll try not to be too jealous of the lovely summer weather you will be enjoying! 🌞
I'm glad that you're taking the time to care for yourself; this change is inspiring and exciting. Please do share your renovations and adventures. Your joy is a wonderful thing!
YES! Please do document the renovation - let your followers support you through it all! I think it’s a good move for you at the right time!
Do what you think it’s the best for you 👋 peace ✌️
Thank you for being so open about struggling with mental health. All of the things you spoke of are weighing me down also. And my mother just passed away. It feels like the entire world is spinning out of control. I hope we can all find the peace that we so desperately need.💛
I'm so excited for you lovely Justine. It's very inspiring to see people living their lifes the way they feel. Looking forward to seeing your house renovations. Best of luck ❤️🙏
I love seeing old homes brought back to their former glory! I would enjoy following along as you explore and restore, your home and your spirit.
I love how there is always so much thought that goes into everything you do. I love how you process everything. Provence sounds heavenly, I would really enjoy seeing the renovation process.
Hi Justine! I would love to see the renovation process specially all the research about how houses where built in that area 300 years ago. You put such care in everything you do I am sure it will be an amazing journey to watch :)
Enjoy!
It sounds like a good idea to move, and Provence is heaven on earth. My husband and I travel (from Denmark) to Mirabel - a very small town near Nyons- every sommer, and spend 4 - 6 weeks in our caravan.
I wish you good luck with your move and the renovation of the house.
This is wonderful news, Justine -- not that you're leaving Berlin but because you are being decisive about what is best for you and doing something about it. I am from Trinidad and Tobago, in the Caribbean. I studied in the UK, I visit on many occasions and have been to a number of European countries. I've stayed in Haute-Savoie, Lyon and Massif Central and loved them all. I studied French and I have always wanted to live in France (not Paris; had some unfortunate experiences there). I need to get to the point of my post. You have inspired me to push forward with my long overdue move. I have island fever - literally. I think I have done enough here (I work in environmental management, specialising in Climate education, so it's been an ongoing challenge, especially trying to convince our small island development state that we are most vulnerable and adaptation is so critical. I am looking forward to seeing your renovations to what seems to be a wonderful home. Thanks for being so frank about your feelings. I think you have given many of us a head start to getting out of uncomfortable situations and following the path that we want.
Did this, too. We went from a suburb outside of a big city to a village of less than 800. I am so glad we did. People are friendly, everyone has gardens and I can get much of what I need. The downside is having to drive farther for things.
I am like you, I like being able to make plans but just minutes ago while having lunch with my mom and discussing the current situation I told her that I finally learnt that having a plan is good but that you also have to be prepared for it to go sideways and not be too bothered if things change. I am in a less than ideal situation professionally and personally but now I feel more confident that somehow I will manage to be ok, like I always did. It is great that you are doing what is right for you!Good luck Justine !!!
I'm really curious to see the house and the area. Would you mind doing a house tour for us? ☺
Btw, I believe many people are on the edge of a burnout and knowing in advance, like you did, would prevent it and even save lives.
Would be helpful to tell your story, so it can help others to recognize it on time. Greetings from Switzerland
Yeeeeesss I want to see everything!! Show us the renovation!! And congratulations!!!!
Looking forward to your new adventures and renovating your house. Well done for acting on your feelings and taking better care of you. All the best xx
So happy for you, Justine. Your new beginning sounds wonderful. I would very much love to hear about your house renovation and what life is like in a village in the south of France. Wishing you all the best.
I can relate to many of the feelings you describe about the state of the world and everything going on at the moment. It is affecting me too. I'm proud of seeing you make this decision based on your feelings and realising you need a change. It's inspiring. Love from a long-time fan
I am in for the home renovation videos. Good luck with your life change, Justine!
Good for you, Justine! I admire your courage in making big changes for the sake of your own happiness. And yes, would be very interested in seeing the historic renovation of your new home.
