    As an artist and illustrator who has written and illustrated books…I think the world needs a children’s book series on Charlie Chihuahua who thinks he is much bigger than he actually is - and all of his adventures with his beautiful mama. You should turn that into a reality! I know I would buy them for the little ones I know and love 💕

    Some people have careers and some people have a "calling". I think you are more in the calling category- theres a creative voice in there leading you along. It's great that you listen and honor that.

    I am also single and without any career. But, your visiting to thrift stores is making me to think to open small and cozy holistic life store. Where I can sell books, candles, natural self care products, flowers, home made food and more !

    There's nothing missing when you're "single" until you think there is. Our thoughts don't always have our best interests at heart. Too much societal conditioning (and pressures) to conform to outdated traditions. When you are in tune with Nature to your very core (as you are Kate) being "single" becomes meaningless because single doesn't exist in a storm or the wind or a rainbow or the wild critters you encounter on a walk or when you're joyously dancing like nobody's watching!
    PS. I am happy to say that I'm a new PATREON! ❤

    Kate,
    I cannot remember the last time I stood outside in the rain and the hail, and just laughed and felt free in the moment to do so!!’
    My husband and I used to dance together every Friday night, for many reasons, but most of all, to allow ourselves to let go and be free- and not just for a half an hour, sometimes it lasted the night, and it was beautiful!
    Dear Kate,
    I have watched your channel and journey for several months now. You are so lovely!! You are so brave!! You are creative and resourceful, and such a lovely soul. I have come to love Charlie also! He has grown so much from being with you.
    And Kate, so have I.
    Keep trusting, following the sun, and please please keep taking photographs ❤
    Love blessings kindness

    You are a photographer and a content creator. That's two careers. Looks to me like you have a full life. Our society gets our heads mixed up.....everyone is different. I used to tell my daughter not to settle....being single is great too. Now at 40 she met someone and is expecting. Never thought it would happen. Life is full of surprises especially when you're not looking for it.

    • @littlebohocottage
      @littlebohocottage  5 месяцев назад +5

      Congrats to your daughter!!!!And you!!!! And yes, you're right ...I have two really busy jobs at the moment (which is AMAZING!!!!). It's why I put "career" in quotes because it's work, but not what people used to consider a "career". But I'm so glad that it is getting more "normal" because it's the way that works best for me and for so many others, too. And you're so right ... life is so full of surprise : ) ❤❤❤

    I wrote 92 books and self-published them all on Kindle. Three are paperbacks and the others are electronic books because they are in a shorter format. The publishing industry has changed (I started in 2010) and now people have the power to create and get their stuff "out there" rather than waiting for a publishing company to publish their book. The motivation for publishing houses is to make money. Creators are looking for something else. I learned everything from writing, editing, formatting, designing my own book covers and then uploading my books onto Amazon. It was a learning curve for sure, but eventually my books cost me $0 to produce and download. They are also international as well.

    Hi! I am writing to tell you how much I enjoyed this video. I was a senior technical writer for many years and retired from that profession. I am now 77 years old with ataxia and use a walker to compensate for loss of balance. I felt like you were writing to me and I just wanted to give you a big verbal hug and tell you to keep finding the joy in your life and you will never regret it. Things like RUclips and internet travel did not exist for much of my life and my husband (who is 81) and I often talk about how differently we would have lived our life if we had been exposed to all the opportunities. Due to health reasons and lack of knowledge, we did not travel as much as we would have. We always thought we would love to visit Italy but we kept on delaying it. Then our age got in the way. Now we watch The Positano Dairies on RUclips every Sunday and "pretend" we are there. I hope you travel, experience many things and never regret anything. You are an awesome person - never forget that. May Little Charlie live his best life with you. Take care! Pam

    • @littlebohocottage
      @littlebohocottage  5 месяцев назад +2

      Thank you, Pam : ) Things changed SO fast out there, didn't they?! And I think they will continue to change. It's kind of hard keeping up with it all! But I am so glad that RUclips exists for the exact reason you mentioned! It's such a nice way to "visit" other places. I love cooking shows in Italy because I just love how passionate Italians are about their food! It makes me happy : ) Sending you the biggest hugs!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

The grass is dead and everything is covered in dust. Thinking our Fall is not going to be a very colorful one because of our dry weather. Your rain looked so wonderful. Hugs to you and Charlie and thanks for the sweet video.

PS When You got to the book store and talked about writing Childrens books I saw THE WONKY DONKEY which was written by a New Zealander and sometimes even has the CD in the back ...it is such a fun song , I love it so much I own a copy and I don't have kids HAHAHA ... Like others have suggested it would be fun to read a story of Wee Charlie !!

    Kate, you’re amazing, do you know that? The rain ☔️ is my favorite kind of weather and I love to be at the ocean 🌊 when we have a stormy day and watch the high surf. Tonight’s video was awesome! I was so happy when you were watching it rain and hail, that I’m still smiling ear-to-ear! 😊 When I was a wee little girl, my big brother and I would walk in all the puddles barefoot and the leaves 🍃 in the puddles would be the fish.🐟 We’d gather sticks from our trees 🌳 and those became our fishing poles 🎣 😂 I recently turned 70 years young and I still adore the rain, even more so now than before. I’m free to be me and do what makes me happy! Your videos bring back such beautiful memories for me Kate. You remind me of myself. I was and still am a Boho 🐥 chick and you’d love my apartment here in RI. Minutes from the ocean and every day is amazing and a new canvas to paint. I’m so grateful to be here. You have been given many gifts my friend. I call that divine intervention. Keep going. Keep being you. And as Carole King sings, 🎶”You light up my life.”🎶💗🦋💗🦋💗

    I haven't had a career since I left healthcare. I work 2 jobs right now, to put some money away and to allow myself to pursue my creative self- photography, drawing, acrylics, a little sewing- which translates to my sanity staying happy and a little bit of money. I never was the kid who grew up and said I want to do that thing. I still can't answer that at 50. I've been like this my whole life and I can honestly say, my life has been much fuller, removing the career thing. I think we are more aware of the important things in life.

    A big hug back to you. I live Ohio, north of Dayton. An hour away from Richmond, IN, an hour away from Cincinnati, and an hour away from Columbus. I live in a suburb that is surrounded by beautiful farmland. I always look forward to Friday when you post a new video. I love you and Charlie. You remind me when I was younger and when I had my beloved dog Oliver who is now living in Heaven. I lost him two years ago and I still grieve. I have a cat now, her name is Daisy Pearl. I'm single too and I love it. I also live in the house I grew up in after my parents passed away in 2011. We need rain so bad. Very hot and humid. A single life is a very blessed life. You seem to have so much joy and you pass it on to everyone. I too write, my story, short stories, children's, and also a family cookbook. I also do freelance things to make it. Hard work reaps great rewards. Much love and God bless you.

    I love this video so much. I've been sick for the past 4 years And your videos have meant so much to me. I smiled so much watching this 1 with you in the rain and when you danced I got up and danced with you. You're making a difference in so many people's lives Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reminding me how beautiful the world is. Sadly this is something that is easy to forget when "life happens". I hope you are feeling better.

      I'm sorry life has been "happening" so much for you the last four years : ( Sometimes it can be so hard. It makes me happy that you enjoy the videos. I love this community of women because so many here are all just trying to focus on joy as best as we can. We'll all keep going together : ) ❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Very fun video 🙂. Your free form happy dancing and the storms brought back a childhood memory. When we had a summer storm, and the wind would begin to blow before the rain, next door neighbor kids and my brother and I would become leaves swirling and twirling being blown about every which way all around our adjoining back yards. Such happy times. I think that kind of movement is good for the soul. Freedom.
    I enjoy making different kinds of books and jewelry. My eldest son and his wife like to travel and camp. I'm about to create a travel journal for them. Along the lines of a faux midori / paper dori. I've seen a couple artists use soy wax to lightly coat the cover of their journals to protect the paper. I want to try that.

    • @littlebohocottage
      @littlebohocottage  5 месяцев назад +2

      Oooh ... that sounds like a fun thing to try!!!!!! And I always loved summer storms as a child, too. We were always allowed to stay out unless we saw lightening. But it was just so exciting when those first winds blew!❤❤❤

    Your little cottage sits in such an enchanted place. I love all the green around it. And that storm! So nice! I love storms like that one. I admire people that work on different areas and change careers. I'm too chicken to do that. I got my degree and stayed on the same field for over 25 years. In my defense, I like what I do, but still...

    Similar storm here (near Cape Cod) this week with hail the size of ice cubes!
    Life isn't cookie cutter Kate. My peers have very different lives than mine. We have struggles that are unique to us. No one gets a free pass in life . Your life seems idyllic to those of us, particularly me, that have issues with our children etc. I envy your autonomy. ❤. P.S. I found an awesome recipe for lentils too on Instagram. Carrot/lentil salad with an amazing dressing.

    • @littlebohocottage
      @littlebohocottage  5 месяцев назад +1

      Kate, I was wondering, do you play all the piano interlude music on your videos? It's so peaceful and relaxing and very new age....❤ Also I sent you some photos of the most spectacular 'boho' home in the UK. I have followed this interior designer for years on Instagram. His home is like eye candy for the soul. ❤

    Dear Kate, thank you so much for another uplifting video. It's so funny, I sat down to write my comment having seen this video 4 times already. I got distracted reading all of the other amazingly warm comments. I'll read some more later. Thank you for instigating such a warm and beautiful community, credit to your authenticity and lovely gentle way.
    I saw that the video had been uploaded on Friday, but saved it to watch Saturday morning with my husband and son. They're not bothered about watching some of the other stuff I watch, but they love your videos. My son is 14 and loves gaming, but he enjoys listening to you. I feel your experiences and wisdom reach out to him. Also the link with nature.
    I too loved your joy at the rain storm, it's infectious.
    I love your art work, if you do develop a website I would be interested, as I'm in the UK and can't access your mailings, which I understand as it would get crazy having to mail across the world!
    I loved the porch concerts, there seemed to be such a lovely atmosphere, your friends seem so lovely.
    I think working for yourself and not being contracted is better, it can open up some financial insecurity but gives you flexibility and freedoms. As long as you live within your means. I am a short term, daily supply /substitute primary school teacher and I am the main provider, my husband manages the home and was the main caregiver when my son was small. He does some part time labouring but is always there if my son is sick from school. We live in a small house and live within our means. Full time contracted teaching jobs are just too stressful for me. You are very talented Kate, but it's best I think to work to live rather than live to work.
    Thank you again Kate, love to you and Charlie and also the community we have here. ❤❤❤😊Xxx🥰

Me being the pluviophile that I am, SO hope we get more rain this year like y'all get...or at least 1/4. And....SO proud of Charlie!! Did so well with those chirping sirens. Seemed a wee bit nervous, but didn't freak out. Yey for Sir Charlie!! P.S. Yes, that Green Goddess seasoning is the best, isn't it? SO good.

    I think you have created a beautiful life for yourself. You remind me so much of my daughter. She is trying to carve out a career for herself doing what she loves to do. She is a creative soul like you. Years ago I wrote a handful of poems that I have treasured all these years. I have recently decided I want to publish them and am looking into my options. I wanted to be a writer when I was a kid but I was told I wasn't good enough and I believed it. As I get old(er) I have been trying to find the dreams of that young girl and make them come true. It is an amazing journey. Maybe this is what is called "finding yourself".

    So happy for you that you are feeling better. Wonderful to see you dance and laugh through the storm. Looking forward to watching the landscape change seasons while your life reflects the same. It's wonderful that you have written all of those children's stories and your novel. Self publishing is really easy and doesn't cost you anything. You set the price, they generally take 30%. People order online and money is deposited into your account. We used Smashwords but there are many.

    I'm 63 and an independent contractor in the gig economy. I've been a sole proprietor of my own business for 25 years as well. I agree with everything you say and more. Please make sure you are saving for retirement. I know its hard when life is so expensive already but putting aside more when you are younger does usually make for a better quality of life when you are older. I am hoping I have enough saved and that my Social Security benefits combined will allow me to stay where I am and age well. I dont need alot...not that interested in international travel or having fancy things, but Medicare alone is expensive and so is food and utilities these days as you know. Give Charlie and yourself a hug from me.

    I'm so excited to hear about your writing! I am a published Hay House author but also have self-published books online, and want to encourage you to put your word art out there! I think the world needs the kind of kind, wise content you create. I had someone help me with uploading to Kindle, Amazon, formatting the manuscript, etc. because that's not a skill set I own, but some folks do it themselves and say it's not too difficult. I'd love to read something you wrote.

    We have "living room " concerts here. It's one weekend a year. People can sign up and offer their living room. They then get assigned a band. And people can go living room to living room listening to the differents performances. It's very similar to the porch concerts.

Poughkeepsie looks much like our town with the beautiful historic homes, people out and about and more rain❤. At 65+, retired and just love your enthusiasm and positivity for taking life as it comes and being open to new adventures. I love your content and Charlie is such a sweetheart and is much like my little six pound Half Pint. Autumn is right around the corner and I hope with cooler temps, gorgeous colors, pumpkins, apples, gourds and the beauty of fall🍁🍁🍁

I love having homecooked, healthy meals, though. Going from porch to porch to hear music? I mean, how cool is that? You are a true inspiration to all of us, Kate. Don't give up on those dreams of yours. I believe you could make anything come to fruition if you put your heart into it! Have a wonderful weekend with your darling Charlie. 🥰
