❤️ Always yours, Ana(stasia)
It's something to be said about your strength of character and your will to make it despite everything. All the best to you, Ana.
Thank you, Ionela❤️
The starting over experience. 18 times in my 73 years, some for school, some for adventure, some for service, some for family. Thank the Lord our feet can carry us from place to place without jumping ship! Your return to a site of memories that warm your heart is one to be envied. May it remain a source of such memories as you seek the appropriate permanence that is still in your future. Being privileged to accompany you on your way makes me select to remember my own sources of the good.
Thank you, Carole! ❤️
My brave friend! My eyes filled with tears when you said you were going to buy your OWN bed linen.This is the closest you've been to being Home in a very long time. I am not surprised that your body finally felt it could release some emotions now! Wishing you Peace and Love and Happiness for 2024 and always!
Thank you, dear friend ❤️
Happy New Year Ana and Brian. You may be turning 41 but you don't look a day over 21years old. You have such beautiful and flawless skin, you are slim and your eyes look gentle and innocent like a child. You're such a beautiful person, in and out Ana. If only the world had more people like you, what a wonderful world this would be. Good luck in Georgia. As long as you have the love of a supportive partner, you'll be ok wherever you are. It's not where you travel but who you're travelling with that makes a difference in life. Life passes either way. Sending you love from a Hungarian in Sydney. ❤P.S. Do you miss your cat?
Ana, I was trying to imagine nomad life. It brings it down to essentials, for certain. I’m sitting in my office in my desk chair with my comforter on my lap while watching your video and I just realized that this is all luxury when only minutes ago I felt like it was a need and a necessity. Wow! Thank you for showing me how blessed I am to have my own bedding (and so much more). Wow, I REALLY needed this message today.
Thank you for this very important insight and pespective, dear Kami ❤️
My dear Anna, things will work out for u in 2024.. Thats how I feel. I admire your resilience. ❤
Dear Ana, my heart keeps being moved by your story, it's not been easy, I can only imagine. Sooo glad, you can now exhale! You and Brian, be blessed! Keep the courage and your soul breathing! May 2024 bring you both relief and joy! 💜 ~ Claudia
Thank you, dear Claudia ❤️
I have been teaching yoga for years and one of my main focal points has always been the exhalation. You need to fully exhale, let go of the leftover from your inhalation in order to make room for a new inhalation. Inhalation equals a new start ❤️
No matter where you go, there you are
Ana you are even more beautiful in the color purple. So good to see you my friend. ❤
Dear Ana. First of all I wish you and Brian a happy new year🎉🙏. It's always a "maybe" or "if". Decisions have to be made and we do what seems to be the best for the moment. There is a saying: The only constant in life is change. I wish you all the best in your new place 🙏
Thank you, Anita! ❤️
You look so beautiful, Ana. Wonderful color on you! Good look in your transition to settling in Tbilisi. I hope your birthday wish comes true! Sending lots of love.
Congratulations on your move. I am a nomad and have moved around frequently. I hope you find comfort back in familiar surroundings. Every home you've made has significance and is part of your life history. Home is a moment of peace and calm. Wherever you are when you sit down in your new home with a simple meal and/or a cup of tea or coffee reflect on that peace and calm that you have created.
I like that: “my intention is to make this decision count. “ life is uncertain keep holding on strong
As I watched this I had an interesting thought - for many people the ability to cope with such an enormous amount of input (as you and Brian are now experiencing) is certainly possible. But for us highly sensitive people it is not. I think of my self sometimes like an amphibian (don't laugh!!) who not only takes in the world with the normal senses of sight, sound, smell, touch and taste, but also through my skin, which, metaphorically speaking, is how I explain the feeling of being overwhelmed by the world. We take in way too much and it actually feels painful sometimes. The only way to process it all, to get it out, is through art. You are a truly special person Ana, burdened with the task of absorbing it all, but blessed with the talent to make sense of it through your creativity.
Ted, I know exactly what you mean by feeling through the skin. Thank you for your kind words 🤗
From the state of Georgia, United States, happy new year and I hope it’s good one for you. 😊
I always am impressed with your acceptance of change. Change is hard. ❤
I was sick with the flu. I received the new year with fevers. I’m good now. I just want to live. I want to see and feel the world around me. I’m lucky to be alive so I’m happy… sending you love
Sending love back, my friend ❤️ I'm glad you got over the flu!
I am currently trying to stay motivated in the face of many changes … finding a new job, a new home, and an understanding of who I am. Your words mean so much. Peace my friend.
Wishing you all the best on your journey, dear Debra ❤️
Wishing both you & Brian much happiness & success in your new home & nice to get back to where you met. Beautiful video as always ❤
Thank you, dear Sharon ❤️
Good luck with all your endeavors including your new move. I think you have demonstrated that you are a strong woman who can take change! I hope your hopes for 2024 come true.
Thank you ❤️
There was something especially beautiful in this video. It was so lyrical and gorgeous, and I think your emotion could really be felt through it - that freshness, fragility, hope. And what a beautiful colour - that rich, rich purple. It's royal! A very happy New Year to you!
Thank you, Maria-Anna ❤️
I love your videos Ana. In this world of chaos you make me feel better. I started the new year on a bad footing, with mum seriously ill in hospital and we could not even have lunch together as all the family had to take turns to go and visit her due to restricted visiting times. Thankfully she is now better, though still with grim prospects. It was a simple beginning but after all it is a day like all the rest and what metters is what's in your heart.
I'm so sorry, Doreen... These times are tough for you, but you're certainly doing what you can for your mum. Sending love to you and your family ❤️
I moved 10 times so far and I need to move again in the next 6 months most likely. I am excited but also overwhelmed…. I just settled in , I created a garden, I planted trees and peonies and roses and thousands of bulbs… now we will pack and start again… I am glad that u r brave and I find solace in people going through the same beautiful and hard stuff.
I hope your move will go smoothly, Ema ❤️
Dear Ana, I am in a similar situation although older. In 2015 we sold everything and left for a nomadic lifestyle but after 8 years, I feel completely burnt out and I think you are burnt out as well. Not having a home base with all the things you love ( I am not nor have I ever been materialistic but I love fiber arts ) to come home to is not to be underestimated. I often think :”I just want my own bed linen and pillows, herbs growing on my counter, etc …” I am very much struggling at the moment and I know I need to make some changes. I hope Georgia will be good to you. Take care.
Oh dear, it's so soothing and beautiful to listen to you ❤️ my emotional heart feels at home and connected ♥️ I really hope that everything settles down for you, and I'm send you a big and warm hug ✨🙏❤️
Oh, thank you for your beautiful words, Sara ❤️
Dear Ana and Brian, I hope being back in Tbilisi brings a lot of comfort to you. Enjoy the mountains and the feelings of another home of the heart.
Thank you, Emily ❤️
Dear, you have the right to be emotional! Don't be afraid. I wish you and Brian luck and happiness for 2024. Xx Thanks for your lovely videos :-)
Than you, Genevieve❤️
Take a deep breath. As my big sister says: _"We have all the time in the world"_
This video made me think of the Beatles song _In My Life_ and made me pause to reflect a bit on 2023 and the future, which I hadn't done this year yet.
Stay strong, stay happy!
Congratulations on the new location! I hope it brings you joy and all good things in 2024.
Ahh Georgia. I am a nurse in the US. A neonatal doctor worked with me and she was from Georgia. Once her fellowship was over, she moved back to Georgia. Just a beautiful, kind woman . I miss her so! She spoke often of her beautiful home country.
Dear Ana, that is a beautiful video and emotional too, every change is hard, enjoy your new place. I wish to you and Brian all the best.❤
Its really familiar to me
- to be a citizen of country in constant political crisis with limited resources- been a nomad or searching for homestead does not feel as glamorous as i assume coming from stability and just "hanging out"😏
Ana, I can’t remember if your art prompts were part of this channel or a separate one? Anyway, I miss them! It was a nice way to come together and interact with the community.
Hi Anastasia, I wish you for 2024 some stability, security, serenity, love, mental and physical strength. Also work and money. You touch me a lot. Your life is not an easy road and I feel that's not fair, if I can use this word. About immigration, Canada (where I live) has opportunities, I believe. Thank you so much for your presence online. I feel you deeply.
What a vista that you have....remarkable sky that just goes on!
I continue to be so impressed with your humility, mixed in with your charm, and your raw honesty, that always makes me feel and feel some more....I wish for your 2024 to be all that and a big bag of chips!
Thank you, dear Catherine ❤️
Thank you so much for your inspiration ! Just what I needed myself in dark days I'm facing right now with lots of incertitude. I hope everything goes well for you in Georgia. I love those old soviet style buildings, we can't say they are beautifull, but they carry a sense of esthetic nostalgia with the moutains behind... I would love to ear you one day talking about the special russian nostalgia / spleen / melancholy Toska and if this has something to do with this form of stoïcism you have :) ! I have the melancholy of the french poets of XIXe century and it helps me a lot dealing with dead loved ones, dead projects, dead possibilities... and still seeing beauty and a sense of tomorrow and hope around me and in me.
I can relate a lot to how you feel about melancholy. I talked a bit about Toska in one of the previous videos where I show how to make Siberian dumplings :) Sending love, dear friend❤️
You're always so real, and so brave to share your thoughts and struggles with us. It's truly inspiring! I began 2024 with a bad cold, but now it's getting better now. I'm trying to just let go of plans and rest and enjoy being cozy at home. All the best to you both!
Get well soon, my friend❤️
In our hearts we all want a home, be it a home or a person. I hope you have or will find yours. Peace.
Sending you the best wishes, Ana 🌺🌿..and Brian of course 😁
What a beautiful colour sweater, with your brown eyes 💜
I am thinking a lot about where this year will take me, if anywhere. If I should find a bigger purpose this year, or allow the things that are germinating to grow at their own pace and see where they take me. Thank you for your video. It's a reminder that sometimes to just have to let life carry you and go with the events that are put before you. But also being mindful of making it count.
Everything is going to be alright, Ana. I am glad to see, oh so much. Particularly that you and your husband can be together, that you are safe and living in such a lovely, and peaceful looking city. God bless you in 2024.
Thank you, dear friend ❤️
We love you and want you to live in hope, health & lasting safety ❤ 🤗
Thank you so much, Anne ❤️
I loved your video - what a journey and a relief it must be for you to stay in that city for some time. It is important to plant your roots somewhere and that feeling after having travelled so much is amazing :) It'll allow you to rest too. I am sure that documenting your journey will help you in the future see how courageous and strong you have been. I am not sure if you know her, but there is another youtuber whom I love, she is minimalist too and from the same country as yo. You'd probably go along very well - she also lives in Tbilissi - her name is Victoria Terekhina :)
Thank you, my lovely Ana. ❤
My issues in life are not the same as yours but somehow I find strength and comfort in your videos.
Happy new year for you both in this interesting place, which looks vert oriental to me. I hope you make the effort to learn the language, that will make you feel at home, that’s my experience…there’s probably a library which can help you. First thing I always search for my mental health at a new place📚, the second is a wool 🧶shop… You’re having your good reasons for every decision and we always know better after. I’m so glad for you, having Brian and nice memories around you. Love, Monika❣
You are a beautiful person.
wishing you the stability and sense of home you desire. I know for personal experience that it can be hard to not be able to settle somewhere safe.
❤❤❤ May this year bring you and Brian so many blessings and a great feeling of peace and prosperity!
Send you my best wishes Ana and that you will have inner peace. Same to Brian.
What a touching and tender sharing. Yes, finding a place to live where you are comfortable, and being able to travel when you desire, is a wonderful thing. I have had limited travel experiences over the course of my life, and I have lived many different places, each of which had something positive about them. At some point along the way, I decided that it didn't really matter to me where I lived, as long as I was comfortable, had whatever I needed in the way of recreational needs, and the opportunity to make friends and participate (in some way) in the community.
At this stage in my life, the idea of travel, just for travels sake, just doesn't appeal to me. I am happy for you and Brian, and awed at your continued willingness to change locations in order to find a place you can call home - either long-term or short-term. All the best as you begin this chapter of your life, in this new year. Peace & Blessings.
Thank you, dear Willowbei. As always, your words and insights find a heartfelt response in me.
Happy New Year and Happy New Home to you and Brian. I always said, it doesn’t matter where we are as long as we are with the ones we love. Explore your new surroundings and make each day count. Love to you always. ❤❤❤
You're a lovely soul Ana. The journey is difficult sometimes but building resiliency is so important to navigate those challenges. Happiness comes from learning what is truly important to you. Wishing you peace for the new year. Hugs❤
Thank you, dear friend ❤️
Have a great day Ana. Hope you and brain are well
Happy New Year! THIS purple jumper!!! Love it!!! Emotions...hello anger in 2024! This is a powerful emotion...which I am avoiding by all costs, but if I neglect my needs...it comes to the surface... Maybe because this is my internal option to be heard, and often comes with sadness for me...? I don't know...but definitely one of emotions that I want to pay more attention to this year ( why it appears/ when it appears).
I also know that anger is my drive for 'bigger' things...so not all bad!
Dear Bogusia, what a great point! Even our most challenging emotions can be the vital drivers. Love it.
Wonderful video yet again!
Happy new year! Another beautiful video and also you are GLOWING. Your hair color and cut and that purple on you is gorgeous. Everyone below already said the deep, thoughtful compliments. I guess i'm here to give the superficial compliments :)
You're so sweet, Allison❤️ Thank you!
Best of luck❤
Dearest Ana, thank you for sharing your heartfelt feelings. Wishing you and Brian so much joy for 2024, your are where your joining together began. From now on it will be an adventure and I will be following you along the way❤take care Gale x
Thank you, Gale ❤️
Thank you, Ana for sharing your story. I learn from you, and I pray for you.
Your sharing is SO deaply inspiring to me, dear Ana 💖 I will not get tired to repeat this😉 So again, thanks a lot for another great video. Good luck to you and Brian 💞, hopefully you will get the chance in the near future to buy your own bed linnen and settle down...
Finally I have to notice that
the colour of your lovely pullover and shirt ( again selfmade ???🫶) looks very beautiful on you💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much for your kindness ❤️ Yes, the pullover is a recently finished project of mine 😊 Sending love!
I was hoping you didn‘t get caught up in the demonstrations in Serbia at the end of December 🤞And now here you are in Georgia - I believe there is quite a large Russian diaspora there? Another Russian I follow is in Tbilisi and it seems such an interesting place, balanced between east and west, fascinating!
Btw I thought of you when I discovered Tetisknitgarden knitting patterns, which might appeal to you, too! Beautiful.
Wishing you and Brian all the best for 2024 and the fruition of your hopes and plans ✨
Thank you for your kind wishes and for the pattern suggestion, I will check it out! Tbilisi is amazing, that's for sure 😊
Dear Anna,
Happy, Healthy New Year to you both in your new country! I hope that you and Brian will find much happiness together there. 😊❤
Thank you so much, Cynthia!
Best wishes Ana for you and Brian! ❤
Best of luck in what will hopefully be your new home for as long as you wish!
Thank you, Janet ❤️
🎉 happy new year new place! Ana and Brian
Ive heard so much about Georgian cuisine. Im so looking forward to learning from you about it in more detail. Love ❤❤❤ Elizabeth
Thank you, Elizabeth!
Oh, how beautiful❤. I would love to be there with you and have a calm chat with you😊. Enjoy Georgia😍. Lots of best wishes from Germany, dear Ana🙋🏻♀️🍀💓
PS: Are you meeting "VictoriaTerekhina"?😊
Thanks, Melanie!
I think you and I are very similar, so I truly hope that you find a place to feel safe and welcomed and accepted soon. You deserve it.
Thank you, my friend ❤️
Just rest. 😴❤
Dear Ana, I'm trying for 2024 to live in the NOW, and be grateful, it's something I have to WORK hard on... I wish the best to you & Brian in this new year....
Thank you, my friend.
пока многие переезжают из Грузии в Сербию вы сделали обратное😅 удачи вам! и пусть чувство дома поселится в твоем сердце ❤️
Серафима, дорогая, спасибо ❤️🤗
1:30 So Brian was tourist in Georgia when you have met or you have met in Internet and in Georgia you just had first date? 😊 4:09 Brian is your home base 😊 I think that one day you will be grateful for these few nomad years :)
I love the message about life.
Ana maybr try countries with easier visas proces- Portugal, Germany. Just a thought. Portugal can be a good start its all easier there and plenty of opportunities also land purchasing, though they can be messy with bureaucracy. I dont know about that in Greece , but i loved the place.
Those countries are not accessible due to my passport and our limited finances.
Hello Ana,
for you & Brian
a healthy🍀, a happy💚 and
a good🌞 new year!!!
You are beautiful 😊thankyou for sharing...I am 74 and in a similar situation. Bless you 🙏
That's a great way to put it: I just want to let myself meet my future. And have a Happy Birthday, too!
Best wishes to you both in your new home ,my new year has not got off to the planned start diet and exercise positivity mindset but it’s been better than previous so my plan is try even harder from tomorrow also throughout 2023 I’ve been working on minimalist lifestyle and I’d say I’ve been somewhat been successful but will be working on it even more this year little by little thank you Ana for your video
It is so interesting that while so many people search for exotic places and luxuries of life yet you chose to live even for a small period of time in that terrible building and still see from your window the open space and be full of hope.
To my beautiful friend Ana, happy new year. I hope that your move to the Republic of Georgia brings you much joy, happiness and a stable home base. I think you are incredibly brave to move so much and yet still be so open to experiencing all that is around you.
I have my own challenge at the start of this year as I started a new job yesterday and have been feeling quite anxious. Hopefully we can both begin to feel more settled soon. Sending you much love ❤️
I cherish what's unique and authentic about people because by now I know it's not always easy to put that on display, but how much it adds to the diversity and celebration of life, when people do display themselves authentically. So thank you, great message and great demonstration of living according to the principle.
I'm rather late to this video (sorry!), but wanted to reach out regardless. What an incredible journey you have been on, one that has no doubt been a rollercoaster emotionally, physically and financially. Starting over somewhere new can be terrifying and thrilling all at once. Such courage you have! Though I have not moved countries before, just states, I can empathize with the "What if's" and doubts you may experience. Your feelings are valid...thinking of you! I love how you expressed that you do not hold any expectations, just intentions; what a refreshing outlook. Your home is out there. You will find it and plant your roots. In the meantime, adventures. Wishing you only complete happiness in your new home. And... Happy belated Birthday!
Thank you so much for your kind, supportive words ❤️
Love to you in this New Year. ❤
It was good to hear this today ❤
Best wishes for your fresh start in the new year! Love from Nebraska!
As a gesture of faith in your ability to ride out the big ‘emotional exhale’ and with appreciation of your art, I am happy to get your calendar with a donation, too. I’ll figure out the download process another day! - MC
Thank you, my friend.
As a long term plan B in case Georgia changes their immigration policies ( I think they applied for EU membership, if they get admitted they might change their visa policies) I would recommend looking into repatriation for your husband since he has Romanian ancestry. Being American he might find it relatively easy to get Romanian residency and citizenship. You could even get a “home base” if you don’t mind living further away from a big city.
I speak peace blessing over you and your family. I love your gentle soul.
Love,
Virginia
Too emotional to comment! 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹💜🩵💙💚💛🧡❤️
Have a very lovely new year! All the best wishes for you and Brian in 2024 ❤🎉 Wow, Tbilisi! I hope you will feel good there and safe! I spent myself lovely three years in there but had to leave because the prices became absolutely nuts, all my English speaking friends left and just overall the atmosphere became unfortunately more hostile. I do hope those things have improved and you can enjoy your time in Tbilisi ❤😊 Be safe! Will be waiting for your videos from your new home 🏠 😊
Oh, thank you so much❤️ Interestingly, so far we find it much more easier to live in Tbilisi than in Belgrade:) Prices definitely went down (esp on accomodation) and we're blown away how certain things go sooo smoothly, while in Serbia we faced quite a few struggles. But again, we're just starting here, so time will tell:))
YES your sharing and your content is ALWAYS so interesting and really good🥹☺️☺️♥️🙏 you should have more subscribers☺️ Happiness, love and peace to you both💫
I have had many homes over my lifetime so far - I have lost count! But all in the same country. Some by choice, some by circumstances, and each brought its own challenges along with the fresh starts. These days, I feel I want to settle down somewhere, but this is not happening yet. Maybe one day soon! I too need to exhale.
I hope you are able to feel settled in Georgia and enjoy your time there. And I have just realised you are one year older than my elder son! Best wishes for your birthday xx
I love the song "Georgia" by Ray Charles. Tiblisi looks beautiful - 🕊️💛🕊️
Good luck in Georgia. Staying open and embracing where you're at, and acknowledging your truth (nomadism isn't you). Plus, that colour is gorgeous on you!
Hi Ana. I think in some ways you are fortunate, in that you can now move from country to country, and that you are with the person you love. Of course, moving about is not easy. These days, I am quite happy to stay in the same place and make the most of where I am and I have (which isn't much).
Happy New Year! I seems like you might be a bit more comfortable in Georgia, I hope so! Also, I love your hair like this, it's very cute. I always get depressed and anxious around this time of year but I can't really connect it to anything, it's annoying!
Thank you, dear Lindy ❤️ Just give yourself time to adjust to the new year. I feel the same.
Very inspiring 🌸Take care and enjoy 2024 🎉
Dear Ana, I recently came across your videos and subscribed to your channel. I have to say I totally admire your spirit and strength. I wish you all the best in this new chapter in your life. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It really is an inspiration for me. Best wishes from the other side of the globe, Malaysia.
