Thanks for watching!
What a lovely lady! Like her attitude. The goal in life is to be happy and she has found her happines and that has healed her spirit.
Yes, indeed. I wish the same for everyone.
CheapRVliving She is so right. There's just something about having a pretty plate😊 It IS a woman thing. It makes me happy to eat out of a pretty plate. They have tons at the Salvation Army and Good Will etc...
I agree! You can tell she's a genuine and understanding person. I was nodding along and agreeing with everything she said.
i agree. she was lovely. i could hear in her voice how kind she genuinely is. we're searching for a camper we can afford right now and are ditching the rental house we're in. id love to find a friend like her someday along the road.
cheers to her for finding her happy place.😊
Shelly In Full Bloom Carver sound
Way to go Diane! You have a wee cozy home, two lovely dogs and happiness...what more could we want
Dogs r the best part
In two weeks I'll be entering my tenth year of recovery from a brain injury. It is great to hear someone else who understands how nature is proof positive of the healing affect of wild places.
Jimmy Fischbeck I too am recovering from a brain injury ( radio surgery) and am looking to sell my house and build a large van into a camper . less stress.
Blessings to you Jimmy Fischbeck, as you transition into a better life, a life of healing.
Feel sorry for her?? Do you know she seems to be happier than a LOT of people I've know who were Millionaires. Plus she's got a whole LOT compared to people sleeping under bridges or streets with only a backpack of items sleeping on a piece of cardboard. She's very very wealthy in comparison to a whole LOT of folks. People need to find in life what gives them joy and fulfillment and to hell with societal "norms"!!!!
Well said! I'll be next
Amen!!!
Yep ive worn mostly thrift cloths Ive remodeled all my life. I didnt tell many because i got comments like germs and stinky. Duh? I wash everything and most is washed when donated. And it doesnt go to landfill. Now its popular! But glad the boho hippie with a modern twist is back. I made skirts from tablecloths but I was an ocd sewer not a street type living. All qualified for office wearing. Made mini skirts in high school from Doris Day dresses with asking where I got them. Wish all that fabric available now. I now teach sewing in my smaller retirement town. Surprised not as many are coming. 2 men, one lady. Older. But I seek sell some things only locally. Much of my ideas have non seen touches for ability to use. Like a jean messenger bag, convertible to shoulder or strap with NO hardware needed. I only charge 10. Some say charge more. Ok the locals don’t have much money either and yeah they sell. All sold out. 40 jeans not in the landfill! Mostly I’m relating the judgements when it’s not popular I hid what I did.
Wonderful comment and so well said
@@lyricwritertoo You sound like an extremely talented and gifted person. ☺
some of de happiest people i know own hardly anything
Once our basic needs are met we don't need much!
I'm looking to hit the road soon!
Not sure where to begin, though.
Absorbing all that I can now.
Will be checking out website!
Wonderful comment!
@@DraggingDadAround ,wishing you endless happiness on your journey
True. So many people think that if they own the best, the biggest, the most expensive than they are superb than the rest of us!
I love you Diane! You inspired me and gave me a million smiles throughout the interview! That’s the real lottery winner!!!! Much love ❤️
I want to be a Nomad so bad!
Diane is delightful!
I dream of being able to live like this. I have pretty bad PTSD and the only thing that truly grounds me is being outside.
Hi Sherri, I don't know what your PTSD is from but I have CPTSD and agree totally with you. I go barefoot whenever possible....not so much in Texas with fire ants, but as much as possible. :D
Go for it Sheeri! I wish you the best and hope you take the plunge and go on an adventure!
Take a bus trip across country. It's like being in the ninth circle of hell.
I have PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, I have PTSD from being almost beaten to death by my husband, he throwed me out of moving cars , beat me so bad several times I couldn't see out of my eyes , stole my son , he told me he was going to kill me and almost did , the police kept letting him out . I grew up with an very abusive drunk mother , I was taken from place to place, I watched my own mother be beat until she was almost killed so many times , her eyes beat shut , black eyes , her ex husband actually sliced her thumb off and I took my baby brother and git help, I remember falling asleep in cars or in bars while my mother was drunk . I remember onetime my brother and I were left in the back of a car, they forgot us. I woke up it was still dark early morning , I took my little brother about 4 because I was about 7i found us help . I thanked god the day my mom actually gave us back to our daddy . I have lived a hard life, I dont know how j am still alive ? I have taken all my pain and been a nurse trying to make sure the last 33 years others do not suffer as I have . God bless I also love being out on nature sitting beside a nice creek or flowing river .
I'm with you Sherri. Cptsd drom childhood. Nature is my life, my peace. We need to get a safe group of us together and create a support group to make these healthy life changes, go on the road as a group, find a beautiful campground, make a happy safe loving home.
Wonderful woman. Love her puppies!! It’s so nice to see someone have such joy within their hearts and lives. God bless and surround her with His angels of protection.
Wow, shes a very open & honest woman! Good interview Bob! 👍👍
Bob thank you for talking about how small spaces can be healing for so many. I am finding for me it is what I need. So many or my family do not understand it but I believe it has saved my life!
Dear, Diane
Best wishes for you and all the rv community. Thank you for sharing your experience and adventures.
Such a sweet, bright wonderful woman. I've been thinking about this for a long time. I bought a small trailer last year and took it out twice. I plan to do more this year and eventually go into full-time living. You're an inspiration Diane!
She looks happy and stress free! Thank you for your authenticity and vulnerability Diane!
Good interview, Diane is a class act, you are Blessed to be surrounded by such good people Bob!
Thanks for watching John, I really am fortunate to be surrounded by such good people!
I thank Bob attracts them :-) and I was fascinated to hear that he was/is in Pahrump, NV. I lived there for over a year, with my oldest son, back around 1973, boondocking by choice, because I had no viable choice. Was going crazy living w/ inlaws in Vegas. It saved my health and my sanity. I had no electric or running water, but I had peace, & got to where I could look at the sun & tell what time it was w/ no more than 10 minute error. One of my son's first words was "chickie", refering to a roadrunner that lived nearby. Ah, fond memories. No wonder I long the day when I'll return to that simple lifestyle again. Yahoo.
I wish I could do this , I can’t due to a stroke this would be my dream. This woman seems so happy. Wow the best to you Diane and yes you are an inspiration. I love nature and it is a healing tool, I can’t go hiking or even camping any longer. I love your sand dooms. you look great for ur age really. God Bless Dear.
I really love this woman and her story. So glad I found it on you tube to enjoy. Blessings, Diane.
I understand how you feel. Sometimes life throws a punch you make bad choices in life and some people don't let up about it. You have some people that want to see you down. But the ones who care are genuine. Keep doing you. 🙏💜🙏
Such a lovely peaceful lady! And smart too.
My smile grew and grew listening to this interview. I am an artist too. This will be my life someday! Diane was my mother’s name...I love this woman!
She’s so precious and happy!
I believe Nature could be my healing place too. Thanks Bob for giving hope to so many. That it IS possible to someday make it out of a bad situation and heal. Working towards obtaining that,....someday......😎
I enjoyed this video. This lady has a great happy life, and a terrific home to enjoy many things. She has everything. Terrific. Another great learning video. Thanks Bob.
very excited to see this episode. thanks for the video. my income is also around the same as hers. just bought my traval trailer 2 days ago a 1972 terry 22 foot. for 400 bucks. it is gutted. no water, no gas, no electricity. no gray water tank, no potable water tank, no fuse box, roof leeks, no stove, has satanic things written in it with a felt pen (very scary) , what it dose have is a toilet, sink, shower, on demand propane water heater only one window is missing. so i have something to build with.
Good luck with your build Solx!
CheapRVliving c
Solx: get rid of the satanic writing.
Sage immediately
Great story :-) Awesome little home, that's all you need. Thanks 4 sharing.
She is so true to herself, great lady
Go happily through your day Diane!
I agree, she's inspired me to increase my interest in this lifestyle. I hope to meet you both one day.
I think this video is 2 years old now. I have watched it several times. I would like to know how Diane is doing these days. She seems like such a nice lady. Hope she is doing well.
Yes Diane you our a blessing. I hope to meat you. I know you would be a great help to me
God bless you Diane
I just love your spirit ❤ ♥ 💕
Agree with Diane about showering outdoors in NATRUE , aunaturelle 😃 ! One of the best showers I took was under a waterfall in Colorado up in the mountains when backpacking & tent camping in a tiny tent with a husband ! It felt great ! Birds didn't mind !! No other humans around. Even if some had shown up .......no worries !
She's such a beautiful soul and it changed my perspective
I’m so glad you have found peace and healing. You seem like a very nice woman. A wish you peace in your journey.
Mine is an 87 Terry travel trailer. Paid 1200 a year ago and it was fully furnished. I only pay 250 a month lot rent in Yuma , AZ. A great 55+ RV park. I love it here.
I hope by now someone told her about camp showers. You just fill them, lay them out in the sun, and instant shower. Just don't leave them out too long or the water gets too hot! No propane required and they're not expensive.
What a lovely lady!!!
She's an inspiration to me, I'm trying to get a van and start a new life and hopefully I can meet with her sometime sooner. 👍😍😍🌷
THANK you both, nice video.. keep safe.. much love..
Love it, showering outdoors!!
lovely lady seems so happy
What a wonderful woman!
I love her life Outlook. I bet she's a joy to have a meal with and to chat with around a fire. The kind of person my wife and I enjoy spending time with.
I hope this video and others reach those of us that really need to know that there are options to live other than owning a house or renting. Life is not easy or simple, but living in a vehicle can be a means to healing a wounded soul. There is a dignity and power in self reliance that is hard to come by with just getting a government hand out.
I’d love an update on Diane!
4:51 It sounds similar to when I got depressed because my husband went into truck driving and was gone for a couple of months. Married over 20 I felt lost and bump. Thankfully my kids helped me out.
Very informative , Thanx Diane
Love your RV...have a lovely wonderful life...
Awesome!!!👏👏👏🙏💥
Thank you for sharing as think about doing the same. Thank you too bob.
Ken
I like this woman!!
I would be honored to break bread and have supper with sweet Diane whether at her place or here! I also love to use pretty "real" chinaware begotten second hand/ third hand even!
I love it! Happy is so important!
Best video ever. Gave me a lot of hope.
I absolutely love this camper for you I think the open air will be great for you!!!
My husband bought me a 73 winnebago that we drive to the place we like to camp. It has been a very long time since we have been. I want to go get them in the water. The oldest girl that has been swimming she might like it this time. The water 4r
I would love to have this lady for a friend! She has life right!!!
Great story! Would love to hear a follow up on many of the old interviews.
Smart inventive people person relatable creative artistic a real person.
Love it!
Waiting on getting back on SSI again. Should get around $1100-1200 a month. I have a Extera 4x4. All i need is a small camper like you got and travel like a gypsy. Maybe 6 solar panels on top of my camper Renergy is a good solar energy company. Glad to see that your happy in your life (-:
I wanted to say that for some reason I keep comping back to this video because you have said a few things that inspired me such as saving diligently, and being an artists, and I have actually started this myself, and also trying to get away from stressful situations, but it has not been easy, but things are going to change once I can get out there and make a living, earn some money, and being able to save like you. I also like the bike idea, I tried to explain it as best as I could at first. but I do like your video. because I can relate.
You ARE an inspiration!! 💜👍🏼
Those 4.7 straight sixes are bullet proof . Mine has 220 K miles.
I hope you have replaced all rotted wood etc from ANYWHERE in that trailer as the mold pores will become airborne and can infect you very easily with all sorts of nasty life threatening conditions. you can paint the inside of the trailer white so it will not be so dark feeling.
I am so fortunate to have gotten a camper with the best tow equipment and have a rig that will pull it before my health started to fail it's not a nice camper nor is my tow rig but my tow rig is reliable and my camper is my home everything I own is in both it doesn't leak it has a shower toilet a comfortable bed and I bought a small frig for 20 dollars when the factory unit stopped working it has a slide out I have two window ac units because the roof air quit I use a buddy heater and have two electric heaters when I am hooked to power I am so fortunate for this camper and my suburban to pull it after living in big expensive houses and then having to live in this camper you realize all you really need is a roof over your head place to eat shower and sleep it's just me and my two cats I can hook up to power and water for under 500 a month buy a camper one day you might be glad you did
God Bless you!!
I’m so jealous in a good way
Cool lady. 🌸
Love this ❤
Wonderful!! Maybe me someday!!! You can move where you want!!! Love the good china and shower!! Solar panel!!! Great personality!!!
A special lady
So beautiful
I would love an update on this lovely lady
Looking to transition to this life and after seeing this, I know I need an oven. 🥰
I wish I could but I have four dogs and five cats. I have a friend and we could go together but he won’t travel with the cats and I can’t leave them. I don’t know if I could handle four dogs and five cats, alone. Oh well, my little A frame in the middle of the enchanted pine forest, is just fine for dreaming.
I love how real this tour was. Not a picture perfect magazine shoot of someone's 6 figure rig.
Thank you!
I love this too! I'm cheering you on, Diane! 💚🙌
People that live this life style are so much more happy and grateful, too bad the rest of the world isn't like that. 👍
Amen i agree 👍❤
Absolutely agreed!
To each their own.❤
Actually, it takes a certain type of person to do this. Honestly, it would stress me out.
They sometimes depending where they are. Have to deal with the cops....
I'm sending your video to a friend of mine because she's on a fixed income and lives with family that treat her like dirt this is what I've been telling her to do.
I hope she's able to get her own place. It's so sad how family is just not there for one another anymore or they treat their elders with little or no respect. What happened?
Sad your friend is/was in the same situation I found myself in.
I pray in the past months she has been able to change her situation.
It is somewhat scary when you get older and consider this type of move.
But I find it mentally & physically a better arrangement all the way around.
Living with a family that didn't treat me very well. Some one I knew 36 yrs at this date. So I have moved, to another friends 10 yrs older than myself that needed some help with his home. I pay rent...but working harder and longer in a day than I would like being almost 63 and on disability. So I myself am looking at campers.
May stay here on his land...but not in the home. It's time I had space and peace and quiet of my own.
I will still be here in case anything happens as he lives alone..And to help out where and when I can.
I am fortunately in the country.. but in Michigan, which means winters. But this last winter inside, it stayed just above freezing in my room. So I'm pretty sure I can manage a camper. Looking at a 29 ft camper now..
Your friend is lucky to have you looking out for her.
Yes .....Praying she Overcome that🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I have NO income due to mental illness and I live with my Mom who is 80 & my Aunt who is 72 and I'm forced to live in a garage due to the way I'm treated and mentally abused. Strangers treat me better. I SO wish I could do this!! I'd be long gone!!
So is there anything you can do to help her?
Her home is lived in its messy not filthy there a a difference to those clean freaks she is happy and that's huge
Sorry! Don't like dirt or clutter. But I don't fault anyone else.
You know my Mother could never understand why some of her friends tidied up before we visited, she couldn't see the point.
Bless her for talking about her mental health, it's not talked about enough. Living free & mobile can definitely be cleansing
Yeah. I think we all need a little mental Health 😅
I understand her
When the interview first started she was wearing sunglasses and I couldn’t see her eyes. Therefore, I was simply hearing her words. But, after she entered the RV, she removed her glasses and I could see her eyes. It was then that I could see the joy and happiness beaming from this lovely lady. I’m SO HAPPY FOR HER!!! ❤️
Good for you and God bless you for using such wisdom 🙏❤️
@ Greg Morehead, in an earlier interview, she explained that she recently had cataract surgery and she absolutely must wear sunglasses in the sun.
She's amazing, right?!?
No ñj pp@@anio1349 the you 7
She speaks to the soul, and those who suffer from anxiety and depression!
Thank You Diane!
Nothing is better for your health than simple stress free living :)
I'm disabled and about to go full time RV living and saving for trailer. I was worried until I found this site. It's a blessing. Thank you.
Hi Alex did you make it RVing.
Hope it all turned out OK. Best wishes.
Try a light truck and a pull trailer now. Start getting familiar and take your daughter camping in town. Learn to feel safe AND be safer (learn good safety habits).
I'm 56, disabled and starting over to, sucks to see after 20years u been living a big lie, I was just house keeper and Bec an call, do all,is it possible to live on 480.00 disability?when marital he is sold ,I'll be off to how knows where,looking for a place to heal and rest, looks like I get a small cash out to hit the road, only God knows where and how I'm going , He is awesome, as he's kept me this long, any thoughts out there ❤️
I smiled and cried while watching, I have a desire to be free and escape the Matrix.
I totally understand!!!! I am so ready to go but can't seem to convince my husband!!!!!!
Me 2! I am going to start my plan this week.
Yes! Im starting to think the fewer attachments to material things, the better.
Me too
Same here.
Bless your heart Diane and your ability to overcome the obstacles of life and bless your heart Bob for always being such a gracious interviewer and networker:)
Absolutely brilliant. I so get this lady. I'm 61 and starting over.
Great Woman!.... I as well. 62 and starting over sorta...
Ditto. Good Journey to You. May God Bless
I'm 65 still kicking. I'm retired three years ago. This year I'm saving up for a little travel trailer. Just me myself and I. Stared over got rid of the drama and feels good. Every one on here has help me to decide to do this. Good luck everybody
@@billydickens3039 . Me , myself and I is an amazing place to start. It's a great realization. A place that alot of people don't know exists. Best wishes to you.
@T West Bless you, Terry! What a great attitude! I'm wishing you enjoyment all the way!
Beautiful. I don't pity you, I am envious. Nature is the best way to heal the mind, body and soul.
Beautiful lady, I love how she's living life, happiness counts
SeattleSaphire....Have you see Sam ' Inspirational Nomad."......living in his car ...He gives great talks Mind Body and Soul ...If you want to keep him out . He is on live most every night 6-8 PM Eastern Time !
Living in a car cannot be good for the soul no matter what inspirational Sam says. Sometimes you just have to realize you're another bozo on the bus.
Dogs are an important part of healing too!
So glad you can bring them with you❤️🐾
I love the backyard and what makes it even better you don't have to spend weekends mowing it.
😁
Yes... or slave away all week at a stressful workplace to afford it🥰
@@carlasamuels479 totally agree
She is taking her dump (💩) to the dump. 😂 Seriously, I love her. Such a nice lady. I'm happy she removed herself from her previous situation and is now living the good life.
I'm a teacher in Africa.. most of us live on a dollar a day,no medical aid or car...we still smile...trust me she's far better than us
We just need to respect each other and enjoy our differences.
Is land free in Africa?
@@edwardnadeau7264 very cheap....yes we do have free land in rural areas....you talk with the chief...contribute to community development...and that means far little compared to fired world standards.... In Swaziland for as.litlle as £5000 you have a piece of land in peri urban areas.....rent in town is £200 for bedroom, dinning,sitting room and spacious kitchen....and we consider you financially stable
Thabile Magongo that sounds like heaven. No man can own God’s land. I’m wondering where to go to be able to survive on my own in the wilderness. God bless you.
Praying for you to be prosperous 🙏
I wish my sister-in-law had seen these videos before she took her own life. She saw no way out. This would have been perfect for her.
Sorry to hear that🙏
So sad!
So Sorry to hear that
Sad
I'm so sorry
She is living the simple life and it's making her happy. Her trailer has everything she needs. Love the idea of just taking off on the bike somewhere. A lovely lady
I've been where Diane was and am so thankful to have survived and not just survived but healed and grown. I'm proud of Diane for going on the road and positively she will keep healing as she lives her life in nature. I know I'm writing this 3 years later but it would be good to hear how she is doing. What helped me survive was getting away from what was destroying me and I bought a small home at auction and I put myself into the makeover of it and the property. I'm still a caregiver for my Mom and hope one day I can also get out on the road and continue my healing. It certainly doesn't happen over night. Thanks Bob for all you do. Blessings, teri
That sounds like me almost exactly!!!! After my back was injured and life changed 100% and not for the better. Because of many losses I just gave up. Then I started watching these videos. I'm at least up out of bed for a few hrs. Next I pray my wish comes true to have my own travel trlr and car or truck that can tow. If that ever happens, I plan on meeting as many people as possible and watch every sun rise and sunset.
april asbahr God bless and heal you April. I was injured 18 mos ago and am 65. I would like to do this too. But I’ve got to get healed first. Alara
I’m sending Blessings to you.
Been disabled 10 years. Life changed for me too.
This video is motivating me.
@@soniagrindstaff2416 me 2!
Awww… ❤️… I too suffered a back injury that lead to surgery. All of which changed my life drastically. And not for the better. It not only is a physical pain but a mental pain as well. I have found myself watching these videos as well, just hoping for the day I am able to jump in my car and ride away. I’m also looking for a lot of mental health healing as I know the physical healing has come as far as it can……… 😞
Just do it and don't look back do it.
Enchanting. Wow. She seems so light and relieved. Like she’s been set free. Love everything about this. I’ve always had this type of living thought in my brain and I never knew people do this. I surely don’t pity her. In fact, I’m envious of her. Beautiful way to live. ☮️
i really likE this lady ,her honesty and just being herself. havin g had a breakdown myself, i wish i would have done this. i hope to in the future to do it.
I hope you are able to, Shelley!
CheapRVliving i am so happy i found this video! what a sweet woman! thank her for sharing. thank you for asking her just the right questions. I hope to test the waters in about two weeks!!! I am breaking free of apartments and going to live in a camper. I am going to start in a campground, to ease into it and get to know the camper. but i very much want to quickly find a community of nomads, offgridders, a new family to help out, live with and heal with. I am so burned out, I am so much on the very edge,... and have been for so long. I need nature as far as my eyes can see. and I need other folks who understand that climbing on and over each other to win this rat race is no way to live. I really hope I find that soon, very soon... before I end up sitting in a corner blowing bubbles!!!! most days I want to sit and cry, but I don't think I would ever stop! so I just keep telling myself to hold on, I will be free and in a camper and in nature very soon. so many folks tell me I'm crazy for wanting that, but then I see a video like this.... and I know that I am more sane and searching for healing than any of them. thank you again!!!! big hugs to you and this beautiful sweet woman!!!!
I have a big travel trailer in a campground and spent the summer there and loved it (as did my pets). The problem is the winters here a brutal and no water or sewer during those months. What I would love to find is something where I could spend the cold months in a warmer climate boondocking. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Why take a bunch of pills when you can rove the country and not have to endure the Rat Race anymore!
Best of luck to you. I'd love to do it too, but I am 72 and know nothing about how to manage all the electronic stuff in an RV or trailer. Wish I'd done it 20 yrs ago! Well I salute everyone who's living this lifestyle and may God bless you ALL!
Diane is delightful. What a great attitude and outlook on life!
You can't help but like her. She's a very humble & kind person. God bless her always.
