      In the warmer months, I love stepping outside when the sun is out, just for a moment. We have this beautiful big Eucalyptus tree in the backyard. I love to look high up at the leaves as they sway in the slight breeze, either with sun rays shining through or blue sky behind. I also love cuddles with my bunnies, they smell like hay! Which for some reason reminds me of my child hood and being outdoors. Love, light, and big hugs from Australia

    When I was younger I had many dreams. A busy life in a big city, a high paying job, a successful career, lots of money for a big house, a summer house on a lake, a boat, many travels in high expensive hotels. My plans were going quite well until, at 30, I got diagnosed with an incurable illness. I lost my health and along with it, my job, my money-and-career-oriented friends and partner, and many other materialistic things. It's been almost 15 years that all of this happened and I now live a simple life, alone, in a modest home in the small town where I grew up. I draw. I read. I write. I grow my own herbs and tomatoes, make my own chicken broth for soup and I bake banana bread. I walk along the river nearby. I collect feathers and pretty rocks. I feed the birds and squirrels in winter. I've never been happier.

    Few years ago, I liked to paint, draw and take pictures of everything. I was reading a lot and enjoyed the little things in life like taking a hot shower or feeling the wind in the morning. But now, with social media and studies, I’ve forgot all of that. I’m not staring at clouds and wondering how big they actually are anymore. Instead, I’m staring at my phone and respond to my online friends. When I’m at home, I’m not lying on my bed, reading a book while drinking hot chocolate. Instead, Nicholas Sparks is waiting on my desk while I try to study for my next exam. I don’t have a favorite part of the day anymore. I’m living like a robot who needs technology to survive. And it sucks. Thank you for make me realize that. You woke me up and it’s time for me to change.

    I am in medical school right now and I am by far the most stressed I have ever been. In becoming who I want to be I almost feel that I have lost myself a little bit. My weeks are so filled with things I need to accomplish that I feel the days are passing by faster and faster. I laughed when you said "something as simple as bringing your own bags to the grocery store". As simple as that is I too take joy in it. For the first time in my life I need to actively remind myself to slow down and take everything in. Your videos bring me so much joy and allow me to find stillness in the chaos around me. Thank you!

    Dear Paola,
    I'm in a point in my life wherein I'm about to choose what path I am to take for my future. I'm extremely indecisive, and I feel really pressured with all the outside noises telling me what to be- A doctor, a businesswoman, whatever. I try not to think about it too much, because all I want to be is happy.
    I've always wanted to try to make dipped candles!! It looks like so much fun. But this week, I'm in an attempt to dry flowers to put in my journal 😊🌸 They've been drying for 2 days now, I can't wait to see the outcome. PS. Aegir is looking ever so lovely.

It can be hard to listen to your soul above other pressures, maybe you’ll have to try some different paths to find where you need to be 🤍 I wandered for a few years before finding my way, and even now, things may unexpectedly change and I might do something else someday.

      Dear Tricia, thank you for the comment. It makes me feel like I’m not alone in this mess of a life I’m leading. First of all, I commend you for being courageous to follow what your heart tells you to be. I am glad that you try to conquer the societal pressure and chose to do things that make you happy. For me, I surrendered to the pressure then because they said that it was what best for me... and choosing any other path would be a waste of my “talent”. Now, I’m at a point where I’m unhappy with my life but I’m also too afraid to find other things out there as I do not have any other talent whatsoever to (bluntly speaking) put roof above my head/food on the tables.
      So, I just want to wish you health, safety, and happiness. And may you find fulfillment in any path that you eventually choose for yourself.
      Best wishes, Ld

    Sometimes, I imagine a place where the ground echos with golden waves, where the sky of blue stays solid, a garden of herbs and a palette of flowers hidden away from all but me, and a cozy home filled with hazy yet soothing memories that could kiss you good night. It’s been very loud, noisy, bitter, and cold on my end,especially since it’s been so long since I’ve visited my grandparents’ ranch but watching these videos reminds me of a day where I can just nap again. I know that day will happen again, it’s just going to take some time. These videos help remind me to just take a breath and appreciate what is given to me. I’ll find my way soon.

You mentioned being free from the need to make so much money, and instead to do the small actions that speak to you. We are there at last.

    When I was completing my teaching practicum, I was told I'm too empathetic to be a teacher. This shocked me and has stayed with me for years. I'm not teaching now because I'm sick but precious moments for me were the ones I shared with my students that went beyond the curriculum, that were only enabled by empathy and they will stay with me forever.

    • @kittycat1302
      @kittycat1302 4 года назад +2

      @ Emma Wilson I’m sorry someone tried to discourage you this way and glad you see those moments as “precious,” because I’m certain they were!
      I don’t know your situation regarding being sick, but I hope it is temporary and I hope you’re feeling better soon!
      I am older (about to turn 63) and it took me a loooooong time (while working full time as a Special Education Aide) to finally receive my teaching degree at age 56.
      After graduating and not being asked back after teaching in two different public schools, I learned the hard way that I, too, was too empathetic.
      However, I will never allow this to make me feel a failure.
      I taught Kg the first year and 6th/7th grade the second year. Both schools were Title I schools. Both hired me at the last minute and neither offered me a second year.
      The children I taught were needy in so many ways, financially, nutritionally, and especially emotionally and socially.
      There were times I overlooked the curriculum and went with the “teachable” moments, and I have absolutely no regrets!
      Especially at the middle school, we had long classroom discussions about such things as fairness, bullying, double standards, alienation, etc. I did not always “teach to the test” - the almighty test (sneer), but there is no doubt in my mind that I touched many children’s lives in ways that are foundational and really need to be in place before academics can be of much use.
      I’d be willing to bet that you also had a tremendous positive affect on the children you taught. It’s not us. It’s the crummy public school system.

    This is so magnificent and magical! I began actively noticing and observing the small delights and joys of my ordinary days when I moved to the countryside in France from NYC a few years ago. Looking out for those simple wonders brings such appreciation in even the most mundane and ordinary moments. You are such a lightworker and I adore your energy! I love the topic of this film as I am also inspired creatively and artistically by this idea of small beauties in our ordinary everyday. Especially living simply in (and with) nature. It's so important to pause and cherish those treasures. :)
