U saved my life back in 2020, helped me get sober, and healthy, and even inspired me to build my own tiny house , which was a mission success, thank you , and I hope to meet you one day in this life . - your friend Nighthawk
This is inspiring upon inspiring. Congratulations on everything.
I've known a few Nighthawks in my life, they are some pretty resilient folks. Congrats on your achievements!
❤ very cool
I also found her videos in 2020 and they got me through some very hard times ❤
congratulations on your sobriety, friend :)
The good thing about children, and I think modern life makes us forget this, is that they're extremely flexible. Yes, they need stability and some constants, but that stability can be found in many areas - such as having dinner together as a family each night with no television and just talking. You can absolutely strap kiddos to your back and go work on a farm or hike or travel and continue to learn, and including them will make them more well-rounded in general. Exploring life and learning do not need to be mutually exclusive from having children! As long as there are some fundamental constants in their lives (the love from parents and aunts/uncles/grandparents or a particular activity or a home base to occasionally come home to), kids can go right along with you to enrich those journeys of exploration and learning!
This comment reminds me so much of the beautiful book The Continuum Concept. Child centred, parent led.
@@adamuller9820 I'll have to check that out! Thanks for mentioning it.
Homeschooling mamas and papas agree!
Such a blessing to have that time with eachother🌱
I wouldn’t change anything about it. Also, loved using those maya wraps for my littles ;)
I enjoyed applying Charlotte Masons philosophy on education as well..would highly recommend👍🏼
We homeschool, we create our own schedule, we are teaching our kid's how to live off the land, grow a garden and YES going on adventures. We just got back from a camping trip. You might have to invest in a bigger tent, but you can still explore and have adventures. We backpack our 1 yr old all over the place. 4 kid's later and we're still enjoying everything. ❤❤❤
Your life is actually PERFECT for children. They are game for anything, learn so much from being in nature, and homeschooling would be wonderful for them. The school day is much shorter than regular school and they could learn "on the go" as you live the life you've always been living! I've said for a while now it would be great for you to have a child, something else to concentrate on, especially when you are feeling lonely and at a loss in life's direction. Only if you truly want kids, though. I did, and wanted them young, so had my 3 kids before age 25. I'm 67 now and have NEVER regretted it.
Welcome home! Nice to hear that you and Logan made it through. You can have children and have adventures and travel. Choose both if that's what makes your heart sing. You can expand your homestead on the farm perhaps, it's such a magical place, maybe a bigger cabin and have the tiny home for woofers who could help in the garden. Create your own sanctuary/bakery/retreat, if the family was ok with that. When I was younger, I had a more black and white view of things, now, I see that I can choose more than one thing. Those shades of grey can be really the best of all worlds. Less struggling against myself, more allowing life to flow and not question it as much.
What cemara do you use?
What are you talking about? You have a very fertile imagination.
The best best part of watching an Isabel video is reading all the lovely comments left by wonderful people. It is a reminder that all of us share the same worries and appreciate the same things about life. Also, me and my mom were inspired to make blueberry muffins after watching today's episode. 🌺💖
As a mom of 4 kids who lives in Alaska… I can confidently say that children do NOT put an end to your adventures. If anything they enhance your travels. Being able to see the world through a child’s eyes again is such a beautiful thing. You also have the opportunity to maintain your individuality by going on solo trips, there’s no harm in taking time for yourself. You absolutely can have both worlds and you deserve it!!!
Another fertile imagination. She never referred to children, only to studying and pancakes.
@@WoodenWonders99 She did refer to children darling. She said her sister is having a baby and she doesn’t know if it makes her want to run away or settle down and have kids of her own. 🩷 Pay attention, silly!!
In the mid 1980's I was travelling around Europe, and stayed at a backpacker's hotel in Athens, Greece. In the next room was an Irish woman, the same age as me, twenty-four, and had been travelling for three years, she had with her a three year old child, and they'd travelled for three of the child's three and a half years. She did a lot of fruit picking, and the three year old could converse in Spanish, French, German and picked up more Greek in the week I was there than I did. The Greek mothers would bring out our lunches to the various olive groves with hoards of children, with the pale, skinned, ginger headed child amongst them.
@@RW7266 That’s very beautiful. ❤️ There are many photos of me as an infant traveling with my father. My favorite photo was me in a backpack carrier on my dads back as he was scaling down a small ravine. We were gold panning in Alaska, one of our many adventures. I don’t remember this trip at all but it feels like a foggy distant memory when I look at the photo.
I get what you're saying...but the thing is we should never lose our child-like perspective. It's our sick culture that forces us into a rigid and jaded mindset. I think if you need children to see like a child again...well that is certainly not a good reason to have a child. That's something you need to work on through a creative or spiritual practice.
Isabel, you are a super human. I have no doubt that you do not have to chose between kids and travel. You will be able to do both. My mom always tells me having a kid is just inviting a little human to join your life. You are more than capable of having the best of both worlds.
Unless your partner wants to stay and doesn't believe in travelling minds.
Until they go to school and want regular friends…
@@Rain-Ugh people are so filled with can't. There's always a way. Obviously she would be intuitive and put their needs first.
@@effy.turner You are so right on. Some of the greatest parents (in my perspective) in the world have done both. And who said she had to do it in their earliest years when it might be better for that time to stay home.? People are not only quick to say and think 'can't' but to assume ...For those who kind of 'know' this person...She IS wise and would do the most loving and beneficial thing for any child she was responsible for.
@@SallyWilliams-hl4be SO lets get this straight, you think traveling with children would harm their physical and developmental needs? Again, people are so filled with can't. It's just sad.
When you’re looking for constant change, it’s because you’re not internally happy. Meditate, be still, go inward. There is nothing wrong with wanting to stay still (stay in the tiny home & cook). If you can be happy staying still, you can be happy no matter where you are ❤
I need to get back into Meditating.
No. "Going inward" is very self-centered. Our focus should be a maximum of being there for others, and minimally focusing on self. Meditation is actually an extremely selfish practice with roots in woke word/life salad.
@@donnabaardsen5372 I disagree. Work on yourself first. Figure out things before you figure out others. You cannot help others clean their house if your house is not clean. What is selfish is not doing your work, and relying on others to tell you how to think...
@@danherrick5785 Can't you guys just hug and meet in the middle?
@@donnabaardsen5372 Meditation has nothing to do with being “woke” and the fact that you think being a calming presence is “selfish” is very strange. When you are at peace, you can do maximum good for the world.
I had my first kid at 38, you are young!!! Wait until you are truly committed to someone before you have children. ❤
Children have been such a pleasure and joy for me. I know everyone’s journey is different and that’s ok. But I have 3 boys and wow the adventures we’ve had. I remember being your age and contemplating life as you are. My oldest will 15 in a few days, middle 13 and youngest 10. Life is beautiful with these 3. You’d be an incredible mom if you choose that route. ❤
Mom of 3 boys, also 😉
Oh I have these two opponents inside of me as well… that one part wants to continue traveling forever, the other is craving a home base to just bake, read, get creative and BE. Trying to establish both in my life. We’re all dealing with the same stuff after all. So nice to come here in the comments, feel so much compassion and get inspired. Thanks for existing ✨
I think you are having the same dilemma as so many other people on fear of missing out on something better. With social media everywhere you see so many amazing posts and videos that it makes you feel like there’s something more to your life then what you are currently doing.
Yes. And sometimes social media is a bad thing because it makes us thinking that our life is not fun enough or good enough. It stops us from being present and thankful for what we have right now.
@@houstonka Exactly. Being content is great gain in any circumstance.
Grateful I chose being an Auntie. I love to travel and the 24/7 responsibility of children is too much for me.
I need lots of solo time for studies, travel, writing, music and exploring nature, usually with canine companions.
Isabel, you deserve to give yourself everything you want in life. Foster parents are always needed.
I just wanted to say that I am turning 50 at the end of this year. I am married and have 2 kids. I homeschooled them until the end of their high school, and went back to college in the summer of 2020. (we are all 3 in college together now) I will be graduating the end of this year with my AS in natural science, and AA in public health, then applying for the RN program. It is never too late to go back to school. The time passes by anyway, why not do something with it?
I really enjoy your videos, all of them, the travel, baking, thrift shops, and sewing. You are an inspiration to many. Love and blessings from California. ~
@@coconuthead0417 thank you so much!
That’s impressive! I’m turning 50 in November! I own my own business & I feel like I have no time for anything else. Wish I had the energy for school!
@@leighannp7593 Ha ha! I love that you have your own business! That's fantastic! What do you do? (If you don't mind me asking)
On another note, I hate school. I always have, and OMG it is so much harder now. It takes longer for things to sink in, I have to read and re-read a lot. But I am looking forward to it ending, and applying to the RN program.
We traveled my whole childhood! My sister’s first out-of-state trip was at 3 months old! You find time and learn how to set your goals. I wouldn’t have traded my childhood for the world.
The best time of the week is when Isabel post a new video 🤩 who agree with me 😊 positive vibes for everybody here ❤
That is right!!!
Don’t forget to live in reality as well.
Her videos do be nice to giving God the grace and thanks that I'm still here to watch them amen
@@charlottaw599 don’t forget to not keep watching fantasy videos.
I look out every week for her videos
Oh, honey. Some of us hear more clearly when there is less noise ❤ I'm grateful for your journey!
I just watched this entire video completely mesmerized by all the sights and sounds. Thank you for making them.
It was good to hear you mention Logan, we love Logan and you. I sure hope he is still with you. Perhaps you could live elsewhere in the winter and come home the rest of the time. Build a house, you can do it.
I know you’re never going to see this but the chop and drop method would make your life a lot easier! And it builds soil too x
The chop and drop method sounds like the answer for everything... 😀
~YES!!!~Plus, it doesnt distrupt the soil like yanking all those weeds out!!!~
Very beautiful video as always Isabel. I am a 1st time mom with a toddler (&husband lol), & i must say being a parent is the most challenging thing you can do that in some ways makes every other thing in life seem insignificant. The love is incomparable. But you have so much time, you can do so much before you have a baby. They will occupy your time and change things forever, but that doesn't mean you cannot include them in your passions. You have so much knowledge and skill to share & will be an incredible mother. 1 of the most important parts of parenthood is having a community and support. it will make the world of a difference.
The polar opposite life desires of wanting to travel the world but also wanting to stay home and have children is my life struggle this year. Feels nice to know I’m not the only one who feels this too.
Just from blundering around the planet and staring around, is not so useful work, and also Not the mission of this earthly incarnation !!! ! !!! Pwy.
I’m a mom of 3, I’m 37 and have a 12,10&2 year old and they’ve been to 10 countries. You can do both, there are times and seasons for things! Lean into what you feel and put energy into what draws you in and don’t worry about following a timeline, make your own timeline 🤍
So glad that you and Logan worked things out. Love you to pieces
Where things not good for them?
What happened? Did they break up or something?
Just click bait unfortunately….she lied and makes money out of it by pretending they were breaking up. It’s all about clicks and subscriptions. She isn’t all what she portrays to be…..not so sweet and innocent after all.
@@rainsofhealing she pretended that they broke up to gain more views, it’s a trick a lot of RUclipsrs do to get more views and clicks these days. Disgraceful liars and money hungry, she’s no better.
All just lies @@jonap5740. That’s what you are supporting when you watch her unfortunately. A liar.
Raising children is grounding and good in all ways. Rarely any dull moments and more so laughter that comes with parenthood. That’s how I survived three daughters through adolescence and now are grownup and off to their own lives. We all stay in touch and get together when we can. And believe me about time flying by, my youngest turns twenty next month, she was just four years old yesterday. Of course it was sixteen years ago when she was four but I swear it seems like yesterday. Memories and get togethers that make memories have never been so important in my life as they are now.
It’s so much fun to see them together laughing and sharing their stories and creating new experiences together with the smiles on their faces that make me smile every single moment. Welcome home lady… take care
There is a black tarp that keep the weed away, and if you make hole in it for your plants, no weed will be able to pop up. Will SAVE YOU A LOT OF WORK. I have seen many here on youtube using that, very smart
You have such a beautiful life! City dwellers could only wish for such peace!
Children are an all consuming love and responsibility, but it is amazing how quickly they are grown and gone. Our three all got married and moved to other cities after college. Then grandkids eventually come along and you have them to go visit. We never planned to have kids, but after the first, we had to have more. While we had kids, we camped in half of the 50 states, we already had a pontoon boat, and camped at local lakes on weekends, and we were only home when I had to work. Today, so many can work from home, and some live on the road and work too, or live off of Patreon and RUclips.
Time passes quickly for busy people, and age somehow accelerates it too...
Isabel, one thing I know for sure is that you DO take wonderful advantage of the time given you. After all, you just got back from weeks in Switzerland! I, on the other hand, have gone virtually nowhere. I don't even know how you do it. You do a great job of using the time you have, or so it seems to me.
Maybe consider using raised beds for your garden and that could cut down the amount of weeds. Lign the pathways and cover them with gravel so you can easily navigate through the garden. It's work, but less time spent pulling weeds.
🐈⬛🩷 SO happy to see Black cat looking healthy and well cared for (Thank you, Logan). You snuggling Black was the sweetest!! Wisdom usually comes with maturity and causes us to use more caution--it's completely normal, don't be too hard on yourself, Isabel. 🩷 🐈⬛
Your narrations are poetic! Wish we could all speak that way to one another! Cheers!
I was fearless in my 20's and the made me paralyzed. I literally broke my spine like an idiot racing motorcycles. Now in my 50's I know I missed out dearly in life when all my friends now have grown families and I have none because I chose that. When you are young and healthy it's easy to be alone but when you get to my age with some health issues, you really wish you had the company of family. Thankfully I still have a sister and 4 brothers. God bless you child, plan ahead and be fruitful and multiply. You can do it.
Good to hear your back safe. Im always surprised at just how much time you spend taking trips. I get the sense that you dont think about the fact that most people DO NOT get to travel much if at all. Then when you get home your surprised that your garden is full of weeds. Isabel.. honestly you spend a huge amount of time doing nothing but enjoying YOURSELF. Oh sure you work hard now and then. But most people and families work 24?7 just to get by. I really wish you would spend more time think of the rest of us. Im 65 and work hard all the time. And helping other is why we are now this plants. Its not just about your happiness. Please try to be more honest and grounded to the earth and the other people here.
Give things time Isabel. The Universe has a way of dragging you by the hand and directing you where you need to go. Blessing to all💓💓Full moon coming up friends! Two moons this August!!!
I remember the deep pain and struggle it was to wonder what I should do and be doing - for years. Now at 58, I don't have that problem. I do not miss that feeling....
The older you get, the more cautious you become and yes, time flies past faster every year. Once you accept that, you will stop trying to fit everything in before it is gone and just realize that there is time to do it later. Don't put things off for long because they will never get done but you can do tomorrow what you didn't have time for today. I am 70 years old now and have lived an incredibly good life and yes, I still put things off until tomorrow if I don't have time for them today and if I die before they are done.....I've done enough.
Late summer nights smell the best. With the leaves beginning to fall and the cool breezes bringing all the aromas together it is like time travel.
those elderberries are gorgeous!!! What a magical find!
Girl you’re awakening to YOU! Let that fear go your spirit is absolutely talking to you! Remember you never regret what you did it’s always what you did not do! You are so young do it all! You have time for kids later promise! Love ya!!
I've been watching your videos the whole month and I can't get enough of the peace they bring...I'm from south Africa by the way and I'm in love with your channel...❤❤❤
Isabel, you should try a geotextile tarp for your garden. No more weeds! It's a game changer. And you can reuse it
Definitely go travel and do everything you want to do BEFORE you have kids! And also, from one mama with kids living off grid in an isolated area….. It’s very difficult being isolated with kids. You’ll need community and friends, family and support…. you need a village to raise kids! Don’t let your fears hold you back. I say take a leap of faith and get out there in the world sister… life is short and there’s so many wonderful opportunities!
You can do it! Hugs from Puna. 🙏🏽🏝️🫶🏼
Teaching your children everything you know will be the most fulfilling part of your life. Sharing your love and joy with your children will magnify the meaning of your existence. It will make everything make sense.
Wow!!! Thank you for this great video. I so can deeply relate to having fear of change and how good it feels to come home after a long journey. Love all your baking and yes there’s truely something special when eating things directly from nature or growing your own food. Sending you deep prayers and thank you for making my day w this great video!
What a beautiful and pleasant life around the most beautiful nature,you had blessed with. I just jealous watching you. Come back with even more wonderful plans. All the best!
Beautiful video. I am so grateful I am child free but everyone is on their own path. It is a serious choice for sure. Blessings.
But your name has the word "Mom" in it. I am confused?
I work harder on my garden than anything else in my life, but I really love it. I also struggle with the thought of time and fear just like you do. I'm 32 and I've always let small fears ruin big dreams, I'm just now starting to do all the things I wish I had done in my 20's, but all I have is time. So instead of racing against the clock, I'm just going to keep working towards my travel goals and go as often as I can. I've got about 9 months of paying debt before I will go on my first adventure, but it gives me a good milestone. I can tell my mindset about fear and time has really shifted just by having a goal to work towards.
Thank you for the lovely video! You are not alone in struggling with conflicting desires, fears and indecision. I’m in that place in my life right now too. I just don’t know what direction I want to put my energy and effort into.
The itme passing quickly thing has been happening to me too, and its really been scaring me. I haven't traveled, I haven't done alot of things I've wanted to do, and my family life has really put me in a rough situation where I really dont have many options right now. The time passing so quickly scares me so much, that my dreams and the time I have to accomplish them is running out more and more. It feels like since the pandemic happened I turned 22 and everything got very crazy, and now suddenly im 25 and so much has happened to me that I never expected and not for the better, and I can't help but be sad for the time I feel like I have lost. Im trying really hard not to grieve those years, and to embrace the moment and make adventures happen when I can and embrace the days instead of just get through them, but it seems like I havve so little control over it these days.
Your videos as always are amazing
Omg I think we all missed the tiny house😊, glad you home safe .
Totally understand, the fear has been paralysing in the past years for me too! ♥️♥️
Only part way through the video, but I wish I had bought one of your hardback cook books. I’d love if you released some more copies!
In the teachings I’m learning they say when you r ready for a change you will be inspired and not a moment sooner. When we feel unsure and go back and fourth we are not ready yet. The change will come at the right time. Gods plan
Travel will always be there but love is a rarity, if you have it, hold on tight. ♥️
The best comment! ..... (Im 69 and this is very true ... love is the greatest gift of all!)
@@MattieVera1910-gv7ds 💕
@elisabethmahama387 💕
My questions is - does she have it? I have watched most, if not all videos. I have looked for it, and have not really seen it. I know I'm stupid, but I haven't... What am I thinking?
Beautiful flower garden. I totally understand the feeling of bliss coming home after time away.
Welcome back home, Isablel😊 What a great wonderfull place you are living in! ❤
Mulch that garden next year and it’ll make your life a whole lot easier in maintaining it!
~Yes!!!~I just put straw down, and was totally shocked how much easier weeding was!!!~
Oh yeah! Barren soil is inviting weeds!
Nice to see you feeling happy to be home. Confused if you and Logan are back together? Hope so!♥
You have got some insane weeds! wow! Cover the soil in your garden with mulch, cardboard, etc. to prevent the weeds from growing. I use mulch. I also plant a lot of flowers tucked into corners and let them reseed so that my weeds gradually start popping up as the flowers that I like anyway. Happy contemplations!
Ahh Isabel I have exactly the same dilemma as you! Everyday I think, what do I want to do - travel the world or have kids. I wonder why we feel we have to choose. I guess maybe we don’t have to if we’re prepared for the challenges of doing both. Love your videos and so happy to hear that Logan is still a part of your life ❤
You live in such a beautiful place Isabel - I would honestly never leave - I am sure it has its ups and downs, but it seems and feels absolutely idyllic through your beautiful videography
Words simply can’t convey how much I adore and appreciate you and your thoughts. I’ve been watching you every year throughout high school and I’ve just got to say how motivated and encouraged, yet also reassured you make me feel through your same thoughts and words. Although we’re in different positions, it’s crazy you almost say my thoughts aloud, as though none of us are alone in this- Well because we’re definitely not.. Nevertheless I’m extremely grateful, never change. ❤❤
Well, Isabel, you know what they say? Home is where the heart is, so so welcome home, sweetie.
I am happy to talk about garden work! Yes, it is hard and time consuming, but we've been at it all summer and now have enough food to last my partner and I clear until next summer. Canning, freezing, baking and cooking, etc are all good skills for anyone to have as food costs are rising and some shortages are noticeable where I live. Congratulations to Alexa on her upcoming child! We prefer not having them ourselves but enjoy sharing time with them in our family. This video is beautiful as always, thanks again!
Having kids is an adventure in itself!!! Taking them places that you have been and seeing the pleasure it gives them is priceless! My son just graduated from college and is working now. Its is interesting knowing his life is just beginning and mine is coming down to the end...
Hi Isabel! Thank you for this video. I can really resonate with what you're saying, I feel like I'm going through those same feelings. It feels very heavy sometimes. Feels good to know I'm not alone. Hope we can figure it out as we go. Thanks, lots of love 💜
Happy Thursday Isabelle you are going to miss your all der berries and your garden and your river ❤
Don't mistake peace for boredom.
It is totally normal and good to have a maternal instinct to have a family especially once you are in a long term relationship..don’t let anyone make you feel bad for wanting to live a traditional life bc you will learn and grow so so much from doing that.
Have children isn't a fad, something just done on a whim. They are a lifetime responsibility and commitment. Everyone considering having them needs to make the decision VERY, VERY carefully accordingly.
Isabel, that fear you're speaking of comes naturally with getting older and more mature. Because you now know what can happen, the risks involved in your decisions. It's not a bad thing, but it is cautionary.
I agree. Some of these comments about being able to travel AND have kids are so cringe to me. Yeah, going on a couple of vacations a year or even quarterly can be possible when having kids. But the type of traveling Isabel seems to want to do is honestly not conducive to having young kids. She does need to pick. And if she chooses children, the type of travel she enjoys can come much later. But not right now.
@@mayo3778 yet there are youtubers all over the place that live on boats with babies, travel around the world, etc. It can be done. :)
Kids are great at adventuring, it can be done and lead to well-rounded, independent, courageous adults. So many great examples of this online, but also, I know from experience and from friends who have done this well.
@@RockStarVee yeah and if it's done thoughtfully it can be great. But we have seen Isabel consistently make impulsive decisions that has led to some pretty unsafe situations in places like the wilderness of AK or remote towns in other countries that would absolutely in no way ever be conducive to traveling with children. This is Isabel's style of traveling, and no where have we seen her try to be different than who she is. There is nothing wrong with her or her style, it really works for lots of people. But it absolutely would not work for children. She would need to make some major alterations to her travel style (to the point that she may not even enjoy traveling) to be able to do so with kids and pretending otherwise is honestly just stupid.
@@mayo3778I think especially knowing that trying for, and eventually her pregnancy would already give her ample time to travel, adding some more care to hotel, hostel or home stays and hiking doesn’t have to ruin spontaneity. She additionally has the first four years of her child’s life to travel with them, educate them culturally and so forth. It’s not impossible, and I think for her, even travelling for a duration before settling down could be a great option. I think she tends to learn from her mistakes, and thinks more carefully than we realize. I agree though that children are to be well considered and thought out- it is a lifelong journey, and one of the hardest tasks to take up. It also is a gift, not a sentence. I will say, a tiny environment isn’t ideal for a child, and upscaling is HIGHLY recommended. Privacy and personal space for a growing child can be important for the long term. Whatever she chooses, it’s her life of course.
This video is so true. When you said “where has summer gone,” I said the same thing! I need to start thinking each day is a gift and embrace them.
Fear is an energy like any other emotion or feeling or state - allow it to be there and observe it don't identify with it as Isabel's fear its just an energy that the body is experiencing based on random thoughts flying around (based on your conditioning)
Be like a brave bison go to the eye of a storm look at the fear- say to yourself BRING IT ON! Then eventually after enough practice watch it disappear to almost nothing- do this when it comes up it is powerful. Its just about learning to manage it not get rid of it - you wont, but eventually you will smile to yourself when fear arises - go through it but it wont be for long, it weakens w practice, and you'll wonder what the heck it was all about.
Isabel - I have been living in a 200 sq foot rv on a nice open space property. I have felt like I needed to leave for more space and was close to making the change. Then I felt a sort of attachment to my sweet little rv, and to the low cost for rent. So I understand the quandry with living in a small space!
Having babies has been the best decision I’ve ever made and it is a more exciting and fulfilling adventure than any hike or trip you’ll ever go on, and that seems unbelievable until you’re holding them in your arms. And children don’t mean you’re trapped, it just requires a little more planning before you travel
well said!
This is the first time you talk about all the "parts" inside yourself being conflicted. I mean, you talked about them in the past, but only about the dominant one at that time. Thank you so much for your honesty and authenticity❤
Late 20s are a harsh time. The worst thing is the pressure we put on our lifes.not only on our productivity, but also on the opposite, on enjoying it.
From what I see, Logan loves Isabel. He works hard on ALL the things she wants. A better more improved remodeled tiny House. A second tiny house for music and sewing. Yet these are Isabella's dreams, not his. I just wonder Logan's feelings too? ..... I do know a 'A Man wants to build his own castle at some point.... If she has Logans love she better hold on for dear life, and vice versa. Real love happens but once in a life time.
I am not sure if you’ll see this comment.
As we get older the feeling of fear starts to set in. I am in my late 50s so I definitely understand what you’re feeling. It’s not necessarily fear that you’re feeling but maybe an unsettled sense about which direction you want your life to head. Because you are unsure, you choose to do nothing or you choose an easy thing to settle your mind and soul. You will figure it out, it just may not be in this season. You’re heart knows what you really want, it’s your head that maybe stopping you from moving forward.
Loved the video.
SO HAPPY ISABEL POSTED !!! 🌞🌙☮️
Try no weed low water garden… wood chips basically… takes a few years to totally establish but I never weed and never water my garden and I get lush green plants and great crops
You will close your eyes and one day say wow...... where did life go..... its kind of sad actually. 😊
Y'now I think that conflict of which you speak is just mindful living. We want to be wherever we are, when we are there, and change is important. I think it reminds us to desire what we have and simultaneously to want more. I am always in search of learning and desperate to settle into one place to put down roots. Conflicted and torn because the world is so large and we are so finite. 🌸
Time has been passing more quickly. I don't feel as though I had a summer at all.
Same here
My parents travelled tons with me when I was young (think, 7-8 and even earlier). We spent months abroad, and I was homeschooled for all of grade two and half of grade six. I’ll admit, being a quick learner was definitely helpful, but I think the incredible experience of travelling the world at a young age more than compensates for the time away from schooling. So long as kids have somewhere to come home to, they can and should absolutely travel.
Add onto the tiny house. Don't leave this place, you'll regret it sometime in the future. This is your home, and I think you'd made a wonderful mom. Teaching you child or children how to love the land and live off from it. Oh how I pray everyone could love this world like you do, get back to our roots. Traveling with kids is just as wonderful. Love seeing the world through my kid's eyes. ❤
Yes I like night gardening. Filters the distractions. Welcome home.would be great to wake up and be 50. 🙃😉
I am saving up for a Jackery!
Hello, I started watching your videos about 2 years ago. Working in the medical field life became very busy. Your videos helped me gain back focus on the things that mattered and gave me lots of peace.
There's something so human about getting the life you wanted & enjoying that while dreaming of something else. It's like we can't just be satisfied with the simplicity we strove to achieve, we need the struggle of new or different to continue to grow & change. There is no wrong choice, only learning to be content and present with the choices we make. Once you decide, don't allow yourself to second guess, just go forward like you already have to experience fully the choice you made, embracing the good & bad of everything you experience whether it was what you expected or not. You can always make new decisions if you're not loving where a path takes you. Just like the mountain path that turned out to be a wrong turn. No matter what you do, you will continue to learn from it and being happy is always a choice, even in the midst of some horrible situations. You got this, and for the record, there's nothing wrong with enjoying where you're at. I think most of us watch you because we love your journey, and can learn from it even if we never do what we love seeing you do. 😉❤️
Your so right @sherrywright4557. We should desire to be with ourselves and learn who we are not allowing things to dictate our next move. Being away was to help from home was to let you know that being my yourself is fine.
The way you love the nature, the way you work, the way you wear, the way you cook, the way you think everything about you relax my mind I don't know others but your a kind of meditation for me. Love from Sri Lanka.
I'm childfree by choice, so I can't speak to traveling with kids. It seems like enough work for just myself and my husband to travel..I can't imagine doing that with children. I'm sure there are tons of people who do it and love it, but it's not for us. :)
Because we are in the quickening ....and i just lost my 26 yr old beautiful boy....theres nothing like the deep and vastness of feeling like you are going to loose your gravity ...it is indeed water and the living things if the earth that call me to their bossom...to rest my weary head and just feel the heartbeat of this life ..my life the temporaryness of all things...all things as rhey are will change ...change and transform into 💫💖❤️🔥
Travel and love! As to children, think carefully. With all the chaos, the fact that most young people will never have the economic opportunity to purchase a home due to greatly inflated prices and the deep political divide should give you reason to wait. Buena suerte
With her life and home - she is sheltered mostly from your points. She basically has her own world.
Thank you for sharing all the natural beauty this planet has to offer. And your life with us!
Hey Isabel 🥰 I adore your videos so much and you're such a beautiful wholesome human being. I wanted to ask, do you ever get scared in your tiny house when you're alone? It looks so idyllic but I feel I'd be terrified at night time!
I'm so happy to hear you say you like the longer nights! I do, too, and people think I'm crazy.
I'm always amazed at how ineffectient her house and yard is. Like there are simple solutions to prevent the weeds from growing 5 feet high (which is bad as its attracting large snakes etc) , she rebuilt her home recently and if she wanted more space/more electricity etc, why didn't she add more while rebuilding? It doesn't seem like she even has a shower/bathroom in her dwelling? I'm genuinely curious why she doesn't make this into more of a livable home?
Get a weed wacker, lay some weed fabric between rows, put down mulch etc. I guess I'm just confused because she does complain a lot about her house/yard but simultaneously seems to love it. Maybe if things were set up better, it would be easier to live there.
Maybe she doesn’t have the financial means to build a bigger space I guess
The best memories you can make are with family! The best part of growing old is having children and the more the merrier! We have one child and I wish we would have had more now as it’s a lot of pressure on him as we are a small family!
I have the same torn thoughts - I ended up choosing children. I can travel with or without them throughout my life but all the while what I am always searching for is community. Family, friends, online, in person. All of it adds to the richness of life. It's not crazy, it's human.
You have such beautiful energy I get all happy watching you :)
Just curious....if your brother also lives on that land can he help you with the garden?
