I have always told my kids to never ignore that little voice; it will save you every time...you have a wonderful spirit, much like a good friend of mine.
Hurrah to that! Learned the hard way what happens when I ignore it and let my mind take over and it was disastrous! My gut needs no evidence. It knows 100% of the time what is best for me. No one else. Me alone. Thank God for this nudging of my soul to point the way.
I too came from a physically and emotionally abusive home. When I was 11 years old, I entertained serious thoughts about ending my life to escape it, but my childlike faith kept me from doing that. As a teenager I developed what is called the imposter syndrome because to me there was such a disparity between what actually went on in my home and what my school friends assumed my home life was like. My mother hid our abuse, and I did too because I thought no one would like me if they knew. Thank heavens the current victim mentality was not all prevalent at that time when I was growing up, so I was not crippled by that attitude, but rather when I went away to college, I was free to grow to see myself as the author of my life to create, or re-create, both my interior and outer life . I gained a lot of wisdom and encouragement from the reading of great literature and philosophers, and so I deliberately set about to be the best me that I could be. Although my life has still contained some tragedies, I also have found great joy that was able to counteract the darkness of my childhood. I discovered that did not have to live under that cloud. I became determined to help as many young people who were struggling as I could. Several years ago I was named a National Distinguished Teacher of the Year. Whenever I looked at that plaque on my wall from the U.S. Department of Education with my name on it, I remember that shy, traumatized little girl of years ago, and I am able to smile. I would never have believed when I was trapped in those circumstances as a little girl that I would ever have lived the life I have lived, and I am so grateful. No one who knew me then, especially in the economically deprived area I grew up in, would have thought Life would take me where it has! As Dr. Seuss said in his book "Oh, the Places You'll Go," You have brains in your head, You have feet in your shoes, You can steer yourself, Any direction you choose! And I did!
Thank you, thank you, thank you my friend for sharing your story with us. You are truly an inspiration to all who are fortunate to know you. It is through your childhood struggles that gives you the gift to connect with your students. Childhood abuse shapes who become. It is beautiful, that you found strength, self-love, and compassion to overcome your upbringing and become someone incredible. I'm so glad you are part of our mindful community! Sending you love, compassion, & happiness my friend
Teacher of the Year, yay! Mindfulness is possible. It is probable, if you choose this style of life, as Connie Reit says. I chose it, too, and family calls me "the leader," and "resourceful." Surviving so much trauma makes you available for growing spiritually. Many blessings to you and yours!
I too grew up experiencing parents with alcohol addiction that lead to physical, mental, and emotional abuse. I was hit by a drunk driver, and had a closed head injury. I loved playing the drums, but I also lost my left side having nerve damage, and havent played for years. Thank you for reminding me that I do have a beautiful life. If what happened to you never did happen, I wouldnt be feeling better right now. You were chosen to tell us about your life.. Thank you!
I have auto-immune conditions and other health challenges that have completely changed my life. I had to give up so much and am only just starting to have some kind of acceptance. I want to tell you Connie, that your videos mean so much to me. You are such a beautiful soul, you really are very, very special. 💕
Hi Andee, I'm so glad that my videos resonate with you! Illness and injury can change the direction in our life within a blink of an eye. Acceptance is key to finding happiness. Show yourself kindness & compassion. Everyday make your self-care the priority. sending you health & happiness
I too developed an auto immune condition that I have managed to bring under control with diet, nutrition and holistic lifestyle changes. I wish you healing, my friend!🙏🏽☮️🙏🏽
Your gentle voice, your authentic sharing and your simple lifestyle are so impactful. Thank you, Connie for being part of my journey and being a beacon of light. Many blessings to you.
@@monicapatel8098 same here. All the same things and re-found teaching of Dr John Sarno (for ANY type of chronic pain or illness) and definitely his predecessors Dr Howard Schubiner and Steve Ornich, Dan Buglio with Pain free You on youtube every day, and website, and others. Retraining the limbic system, torally possible and provabel, thousands of testimonies, after the tide of drugs surgeries and trying to live with something -that really can change. I never gave up searching and the name came to my mind one night of a book I looked through as a teenager, that my mom had. At the time meant nothing to be but at 60 it has been a game changer. Absolutely incredible.
This is just what I needed today. It was a good reminder of moving forward and how much we can shape our lives. I am a bit older than you but share a similar upbringing. I vowed to be a better person than what I experienced as a child. I had a wonderful time raising my 3 children and now I am on my own trying to envision my future. Thank you again. I look forward to your videos each week. Take care.
I have autoimmune, fibro/cfs, depression/anxiety and ADHD. And have 3 young children. This video was so peaceful for me. I was having a very hard day, a hard week. Thank you Connie for your peaceful words. May I ask what part of Utah was this video filmed? I grew up spending all my Summers in Southern Utah, it is heaven on Earth.
I'm in my 30's and I can't get over how alike our histories have been, in terms of childhood and health. I aspire to become the calm, kind and wise individual you so clearly are. I'm past all the anger but my health is not great, shall we say and I'm so scared. Your video made me feel less alone and a little bit hopeful. Thank you, hugs!
Hi Ava, I'm so glad that my video resonates with you! It has taken me a lifetime to fully love myself, and forgive my parents. The more peace I found, the healthier I became. Do not be afraid of living. Look how far you have already come. Sending you healing & peace
... AND THEN YOU FINALLY GET TO THE POINT IN YOUR LIFE WHEN IT`S NOT THAT YOU DON`T CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK, YOU JUST CARE WHAT YOU THINK MORE. A LOT MORE!
I found your you tube post I was intrigued to follow you. It was calming to listen to you ways of simplifying your life to have a better life. It made sense. And made me rethink what I want in my future. I'm going to try slower to change my life to have a more simple life and just enjoy it more. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thanks So much Connie! This video is exactly what I needed. Although I did a lot of therapy. I have still a lot of social anxiety. I do guided meditation sometimes which is very good but what you told me today is so much more. Thank you Connie ❤️.
Thank you Connie, this has arrived at the right time for me to hear. My life has changed direction in a way I never thought it would. I find myself as a mum raising her 3 teenage boys on my own. I am still on my journey through grief but I really can see the light now and am navigating my way through with the incredible support of my family and friends. I am now starting to visualise my new life and what I want from it. I am surrounding myself with kindness, concentrating on my mental wellbeing and practicing mindfulness everyday. The power of our breath when meditating and yoga daily has literally saved me. I have health challenges too so an acceptance and relearning that it’s not my fault with what I have and that the insecurities surrounding these are not my insecurities to keep but to let go of. I could go on but… I just want to say, thank you for sharing your beautiful message. Sending love and hugs from the UK. Namaste Connie 🙏 xx
Hi Nikki, I was a mom at 19 years- old and also found myself a single mother of two by age 25. It can be a very scary and uncertain time, yet as moms, we have to hold it together for the kids. From one mom to another, "You have got this!" You are on the right track. Keep tuning into your intuition for guidance through meditation. When you feel overwhelmed, just breathe. Daydream and journal about your ideal future that is on it's way to you. Things do work out! After my divorce, I met the love of my life at 30. He's that handsome, loving man in all of my videos. 😊 Sending you happiness & peace along this NEW journey.
@@ConnieRiet Hi Connie, thank you for your kindness. It has/is a journey that’s for sure. I’m 41 and am learning so much about myself. My friend s and family have truly been wonderful and have let me go through this in my own time, no one has rushed me, told me how I should be feeling etc. I am truly grateful for this. I don’t think I’d be where I am without this time and space I’ve needed. My mind is so my clearer now, yes I still have days where I feel like I’m a bit stuck but they are very few and far between now. I am so much happier apart than before, I couldn’t see how suffocated I had become and how controlled I was. Mediation is my crutch and I am enjoying seeing everyday things with fresh eyes. The town I live in, has been my home since I was born and yet it’s like I’m seeing it for the first time. That’s lovely you met your love, maybe there’s hope for me haha. Thank you again, sending peace and happiness back to you 🙏❤️
I just found your channel, and I love it! You say out loud the things I believe...but sometimes have trouble living. You've inspired me to believe that maybe I can restore greater simplicity to my life, too. Thank you!
As I stand on the edge of my time, looking back at the life that was mine Seeing my life in the form of a jigsaw puzzle only reminds me of the struggle I am lost within my mind as if I was drunk on cheap wine I hear the echoes of a thousand voices expounding of the virtues of my choices It is all to familiar and yet so taunting images that linger are so haunting There were times I felt incomplete moments that were bittersweet Wondering if I could have done anything different the little things that seemed so insignificant It was at this point in time the fog was lifted from my mind It was if someone switched on a light it was all within my sight My entire life flashed before my eyes it was then that I realized I was dwelling on the trivial strife when there was so much more to my life I had forgotten the beauty, awl and wonder that had been put asunder Life is a collective experience overflowing with amazing ingredients.
Funny, isn't it, when you've heard the same words hundreds maybe thousands of times before and then WHAM, you hear them again and it's like you're hearing them for the FIRST time! When you said you were telling yourself the "same stories for years and they cemented you to the past" 🎯!!! I see, once again that the teacher appears when the student is ready! Chipping away at my cement, I thank you!😊❤
You have been trough a lot Connie! Thank you for your story and inspiration. The promotion of stuff and subscriptions is not my thing, but the content of your videos definitely compensate a lot!
Thanks for posting Connie, really appreciate your time making these videos. Practicing the positive life changes is the key, even small changes. Today I practiced a longer dog walk, sat in nature spent time just being.
Dear Connie, I want to change my Life too. My greatest wish is to find a new lovely boyfriend. I am alone since 9 years, I have four children, which are now all get married. That is wonderful and I am happy about it, but IT is also hard for me to have no man at my side. I go out to meet people and try several things. But at least it is a gift of life to find someone to love and be loved. I try to be no victim and I hope so there is someone outthere for me and we meet us soon ....
Hi Martina, I'm so glad that the video resonated with you! It must be very difficult to be without a partner. You have such a lovely & positive outlook on life. I'm sure the perfect match is waiting for a wonderful woman such as yourself. happiness & love
Connie, all your videos bring me peace, hope and joy, but this one resonates 100% with me. I too had a sad, lack of attention and saw abuse as a child. As a result I have very little confidence in myself and my mind is always in the negative thoughts pattern. I’ve never been able to do what you’ve done, instead as I’m much older now (70) anxiety fear worry is taking over and I know I need to create a new life for me, even now I want to live however long I have feeling happy and peaceful and create the trust in myself, that I’ve never known! It’s like you did this video for me❤🙏
I really hope that you can change your life in small ways to start with that can bring you healing and peace. I hear you, I am 70 next year and am still on the path of healing because of childhood trauma . Help wasn't available years ago, but there is so much more now and self care, compassion, acceptance of one's self is so promoted now. Healing prayers and love 🙏 ❤️
@@suespiers9943 Thank you so much for your encouraging words. It’s good to know there is hope at any age to start changing to a more positive and peaceful mindset and way of life. ❤️🙏
I can understand the challenges that come from a devastating illness. I'm a Stage IV cancer survivor. There was life before the cancer, and life after cancer. My health has never been the same since. Daily medication may be a permanent part of my life, sadly. I hope I can find a peace like you have.
Connie, this was one of your most beautiful and uplifting videos yet. The message was exactly what I needed to hear right at this very moment. Thanks so much for all the thought and hard work you put into this channel, I am always inspired by you. And congratulations as well on your partnership with Aura. I had not heard of them before, but will definitely check it out and also look for your meditations there. A world of blessings are wished for you today!
I just had to pause at the part where you said at 13 you decided to end the cycle of abuse and be a kind and gentle person- wow, that is amazing insight, maturity, self-awareness and wisdom, and you were only 13. Amazing~
Hii Connie!!! I think it’s a gods signal that I got this video... going through something similar to your past. You inspired me to create my own story. Thanks.💐
I can’t imagine having to be dependent upon an app to fall asleep- one of the most natural body processes that we have. This reliance on technology & radiation emf devices is what is CAUSING & PERPETUATING every mental problem you have. Sad.
Wow, I can relate to this video in so many ways. I have been working my whole life (I’m 62) to leave my childhood in the past and as one of seven siblings, I have faired far better than the rest of them. Many say that I am just pushing things back and not dealing with them, but it’s allowed me to live a pretty normal life. I’m so glad I’ve found your channel. Thank you.
I see that now in your eyes your past abuse the hurt but you have overcome that I'm happy for you. I'm going to forward this to someone who "this video" can help. Thanks for sharing 💕
Hi Shirley, I made a video about the foods I don't eat for my health. Here is the link ruclips.net/video/nfoewuGlGhc/видео.html I eat whole, unprocessed foods, a lot of vegetables and fruit, olive oil, salmon, nuts, seeds, avocados. Here is the link to what I eat ruclips.net/video/xJdOeyKTRBU/видео.html
Dear connie I am so happy that I found your video , I feel exactly like you do on the hustle and bustle of life, I was raised and come from a very dark side of life on which I have grown tired of being in and for years now I have been searching for peace of mind a safe environment and just a simple life . Everyone keep encouraging m e to level up to boss up and step into the hiring of high society living and what they don't understand that is not what I desire for myself , I have a very giving heart and I don't like saying no to people and a lot of times that puts me in a very bad place with in my own self but I don't worry about it because I know that I can get up and make a way somehow , I love your videos because I am a very lover of nature I love the feeling of being free and one with the universe . I just want to thank you for sharing these videos and it does bring me comfort that there is other people out there who feel and think just like I do you are my confirmation that I am not alone so thank you ✌️
Life has and always will be uncertain. The world is in big political upheaval between facist dictatorships and democracy in general. This is not new in world history. It's a recycled pattern. That is what Benjamin Franklin knew when he said," We have a democracy, if we can keep it." Over 246 years later we're finally on the cusp of what Franklin feared. Though glad to say Democrats have done better than expected in the Pa. Mid terms. Rock on for Democracy!!!
Your videos make me feel like I am out in nature with you. Such breathtaking scenery. Your messages that you impart are truly a gift to anyone who is fortunate to listen to them.
The choice to live a happy life filled with peace and joy , is up to you. What a great quote! Really you are leading a life what i dream. So happy to see a positive, claming personality like you. I can feel the calmness in your soothing voice. I can feel the vibe. Thank you for making this kind of videos. Lots of love, positivity and peace. Namaste 🙏.
How beautiful, insightful and gentle your coaching is, how deeply compassionate to share your life experience with us. You are blessed to have such clarity of mind and the determination to create your reality on your own. I am deeply grateful to you, Connie.
Hello Connie Thank you for sharing your story I too have an Auto immune illness which I was diagnosed with over 3 years ago, & I Strongly believe that my illness was due to a lot of stress in my life. I am a very Spiritual person & I knew that I had to make serious changes in my everyday life & in so many different way's. And I must admit it wasn't an easy journey for me in every aspect, & I realised that I had to work very hard to get where I am at this point in my life. I have found similar people like myself, whom I associate with really well & have the same interests & beliefs that I have which is so important to have! Also listening to uplifting, motivating, encouraging video's like yours is a blessing 🙏🙂 Have a wonderful week ahead & many thanks once again 🦋💖
Hi Jules, Thank you for sharing your story. Like you, I belief my auto immune illness came from stress. It has also been a life long journey to find ways to be happy in the moment. Sending you happiness & peace my friend
Connie, new subscriber….when I found you, this resonated with me in all aspects of life. However, I also have many medical and mental health challenges…two rare spinal diseases, unbearable pain 24/7, my bowels do not work and am bed bound many days. I have been gaslit by every physician I go to. I am incurable. How do I get to acceptance when my pain rules my life and has completely destroyed my emotional and mental health. I also have a tolerance dependence on a horrible drug. I live alone and am very isolated. I am having a fall out with my twin daughters who are 36. I have four grandchildren that i rarely see because “nana is always sick.” I have tried many mind body things. My trauma is unimaginable when I was younger also. Tell me a first few steps to start with Connie….I am lost😢
I'm sorry you are experiencing so many challenges. I also developed a dependency to a drug that was prescribed after a head injury. I managed to taper off of it slowly and have been free if it for two years now. It was not easy but it taught me that I can do hard things. I got help from Dan Buglio's you tube channel : Pain free you. Maybe it can help you too.
This is helpful. But you have to overcome you first . It’s the child damage that we all have to overcome your right.woman are more into relationships then men ! You always start with your mat.
very very true. creating ourselves means that we have to change ourselves, the finding journey should be the journey of changing ourselves.... i love the point. ❤👍
change is a laugh of nature incomparable beauty of romance with natural beauty natural phenomena and nature...!!! loving ownself loving nature loving sorroundings loving friends relatives whosoever close to you no name relationships... even keep words see goodness good everything anoopkumar arora

Mediation is my crutch and I am enjoying seeing everyday things with fresh eyes. The town I live in, has been my home since I was born and yet it’s like I’m seeing it for the first time.
That’s lovely you met your love, maybe there’s hope for me haha.
Thank you again, sending peace and happiness back to you 🙏❤️
You and your videos are simply beautiful and inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m sure it will help people!
Hello how are you doing??
I just found your channel, and I love it! You say out loud the things I believe...but sometimes have trouble living. You've inspired me to believe that maybe I can restore greater simplicity to my life, too. Thank you!
As I stand on the edge of my time,
looking back at the life that was mine
Seeing my life in the form of a jigsaw puzzle
only reminds me of the struggle
I am lost within my mind
as if I was drunk on cheap wine
I hear the echoes of a thousand voices
expounding of the virtues of my choices
It is all to familiar and yet so taunting
images that linger are so haunting
There were times I felt incomplete
moments that were bittersweet
Wondering if I could have done anything different
the little things that seemed so insignificant
It was at this point in time
the fog was lifted from my mind
It was if someone switched on a light
it was all within my sight
My entire life flashed before my eyes
it was then that I realized
I was dwelling on the trivial strife
when there was so much more to my life
I had forgotten the beauty, awl and wonder
that had been put asunder
Life is a collective experience
overflowing with amazing ingredients.
Funny, isn't it, when you've heard the same words hundreds maybe thousands of times before and then WHAM, you hear them again and it's like you're hearing them for the FIRST time! When you said you were telling yourself the "same stories for years and they cemented you to the past" 🎯!!!
I see, once again that the teacher appears when the student is ready!
Chipping away at my cement, I thank you!😊❤
You have been trough a lot Connie! Thank you for your story and inspiration. The promotion of stuff and subscriptions is not my thing, but the content of your videos definitely compensate a lot!
Thank you for watching. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, this was great! I really resonate with some of it.😊
Thank you so much once again for a beautiful message. It calms me to listen and take it all in.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I love your videos!! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!! ❤
Glad you like them!
Thanks for posting Connie, really appreciate your time making these videos. Practicing the positive life changes is the key, even small changes. Today I practiced a longer dog walk, sat in nature spent time just being.
I'm so glad that you took time to just "be" in nature. It sounds lovely. Thank you for being part of our mindful community.
Dear Connie, I want to change my Life too. My greatest wish is to find a new lovely boyfriend. I am alone since 9 years, I have four children, which are now all get married. That is wonderful and I am happy about it, but IT is also hard for me to have no man at my side. I go out to meet people and try several things. But at least it is a gift of life to find someone to love and be loved. I try to be no victim and I hope so there is someone outthere for me and we meet us soon ....
Hi Martina, I'm so glad that the video resonated with you! It must be very difficult to be without a partner. You have such a lovely & positive outlook on life. I'm sure the perfect match is waiting for a wonderful woman such as yourself.
happiness & love
Connie, all your videos bring me peace, hope and joy, but this one resonates 100% with me.
I too had a sad, lack of attention and saw abuse as a child. As a result I have very little confidence in myself and my mind is always in the negative thoughts pattern.
I’ve never been able to do what you’ve done, instead as I’m much older now (70) anxiety fear worry is taking over and I know I need to create a new life for me, even now I want to live however long I have feeling happy and peaceful and create the trust in myself, that I’ve never known! It’s like you did this video for me❤🙏
P
I really hope that you can change your life in small ways to start with that can bring you healing and peace. I hear you, I am 70 next year and am still on the path of healing because of childhood trauma .
Help wasn't available years ago, but there is so much more now and self care, compassion, acceptance of one's self is so promoted now.
Healing prayers and love 🙏 ❤️
@@suespiers9943 Thank you so much for your encouraging words. It’s good to know there is hope at any age to start changing to a more positive and peaceful mindset and way of life. ❤️🙏
❤
Спасибо!
Thank you for all your advices, I will try to fallow your example, I live from 32 years with multiple sclerosis.
Connie, thank you from Albany, Ga
Connie you have no idea how meaningful this message was to me today. Thank you so much
I'm so glad!
Absolutely love this!!! ❤❤
oh connie you have been through so much; you are certainly helping so many on here; thank youx
I can understand the challenges that come from a devastating illness. I'm a Stage IV cancer survivor. There was life before the cancer, and life after cancer. My health has never been the same since. Daily medication may be a permanent part of my life, sadly.
I hope I can find a peace like you have.
Connie, this was one of your most beautiful and uplifting videos yet. The message was exactly what I needed to hear right at this very moment. Thanks so much for all the thought and hard work you put into this channel, I am always inspired by you. And congratulations as well on your partnership with Aura. I had not heard of them before, but will definitely check it out and also look for your meditations there. A world of blessings are wished for you today!
Oh Marlo, Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad that you are part of our mindful community.
Happiness & peace
Thank You so very much for this Beautiful video and incredibly important reminders 💜🙏💜
Fantastic video I’m so happy I’ve found your channel it’s like it’s feeding and nourishment to my soul thank you so much connie
What a beautiful video, Connie!
Thanks Connie
I just had to pause at the part where you said at 13 you decided to end the cycle of abuse and be a kind and gentle person- wow, that is amazing insight, maturity, self-awareness and wisdom, and you were only 13. Amazing~
This was amazing ❤
Great advice...
Your videos are like poetry. So much peace, comfort, and relaxation.
Hii Connie!!! I think it’s a gods signal that I got this video... going through something similar to your past. You inspired me to create my own story. Thanks.💐
This video came to me at a right time. It was so soothing to listen to your voice❤️
I can’t imagine having to be dependent upon an app to fall asleep- one of the most natural body processes that we have. This reliance on technology & radiation emf devices is what is CAUSING & PERPETUATING every mental problem you have. Sad.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful wisdom within natures splendor.
Hi Connie, you are such a kind, gentle and compassionate human being who gives me so much inspiration to become the best version of me. Thank you.
Oh! Thank you so much!
Wow, I can relate to this video in so many ways. I have been working my whole life (I’m 62) to leave my childhood in the past and as one of seven siblings, I have faired far better than the rest of them. Many say that I am just pushing things back and not dealing with them, but it’s allowed me to live a pretty normal life. I’m so glad I’ve found your channel. Thank you.
I see that now in your eyes your past abuse the hurt but you have overcome that I'm happy for you. I'm going to forward this to someone who "this video" can help. Thanks for sharing 💕
Really amazing
Thank you for this
You are an inspiration for me ❤
All these videos assume you are awful and need to change.
I am fine the way I am,
Thank you Connie 💞
I would love to hear why you choose the foods you eat. What are the health benefits from your choices.
Hi Shirley, I made a video about the foods I don't eat for my health. Here is the link ruclips.net/video/nfoewuGlGhc/видео.html
I eat whole, unprocessed foods, a lot of vegetables and fruit, olive oil, salmon, nuts, seeds, avocados. Here is the link to what I eat ruclips.net/video/xJdOeyKTRBU/видео.html
Dear connie I am so happy that I found your video , I feel exactly like you do on the hustle and bustle of life, I was raised and come from a very dark side of life on which I have grown tired of being in and for years now I have been searching for peace of mind a safe environment and just a simple life . Everyone keep encouraging m e to level up to boss up and step into the hiring of high society living and what they don't understand that is not what I desire for myself , I have a very giving heart and I don't like saying no to people and a lot of times that puts me in a very bad place with in my own self but I don't worry about it because I know that I can get up and make a way somehow , I love your videos because I am a very lover of nature I love the feeling of being free and one with the universe . I just want to thank you for sharing these videos and it does bring me comfort that there is other people out there who feel and think just like I do you are my confirmation that I am not alone so thank you ✌️
Thank You so much for this Fantastic Channel.....Love it...🥰
Oh! Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
I have multiple sclerosis. This was so peaceful to watch and listen to. Your voice is so relaxing. Thank you❤❤
Life has and always will be uncertain. The world is in big political upheaval between facist dictatorships and democracy in general. This is not new in world history. It's a recycled pattern. That is what Benjamin Franklin knew when he said," We have a democracy, if we can keep it." Over 246 years later we're finally on the cusp of what Franklin feared. Though glad to say Democrats have done better than expected in the Pa. Mid terms. Rock on for Democracy!!!
Your videos make me feel like I am out in nature with you. Such breathtaking scenery. Your messages that you impart are truly a gift to anyone who is fortunate to listen to them.
God you think exactly like me. Love life. Love nature! Love calm. 🦋💙
I've recently discovered your channel and I have been so inspired by your words! Your videos are treasures!

Qué belleza. Gracias por compartir querida Connie. 💐
thank you for sharing your thoughts, and actions in life. I find peace and life structure example when watching your video
Hello Connie
Thank you for sharing your story I too have an Auto immune illness which I was diagnosed with over 3 years ago, & I Strongly believe that my illness was due to a lot of stress in my life. I am a very Spiritual person & I knew that I had to make serious changes in my everyday life & in so many different way's. And I must admit it wasn't an easy journey for me in every aspect, & I realised that I had to work very hard to get where I am at this point in my life. I have found similar people like myself, whom I associate with really well & have the same interests & beliefs that I have which is so important to have! Also listening to uplifting, motivating, encouraging video's like yours is a blessing 🙏🙂 Have a wonderful week ahead & many thanks once again 🦋💖
Hi Jules, Thank you for sharing your story. Like you, I belief my auto immune illness came from stress. It has also been a life long journey to find ways to be happy in the moment.
Sending you happiness & peace my friend
You are amazing! Sending love your way!
I rarely comment, if ever, but I just want to say this video is so inspiring.
OH! Thank you so much Teresa. I really appreciate that.
Connie, new subscriber….when I found you, this resonated with me in all aspects of life. However, I also have many medical and mental health challenges…two rare spinal diseases, unbearable pain 24/7, my bowels do not work and am bed bound many days. I have been gaslit by every physician I go to. I am incurable. How do I get to acceptance when my pain rules my life and has completely destroyed my emotional and mental health. I also have a tolerance dependence on a horrible drug. I live alone and am very isolated. I am having a fall out with my twin daughters who are 36. I have four grandchildren that i rarely see because “nana is always sick.” I have tried many mind body things. My trauma is unimaginable when I was younger also. Tell me a first few steps to start with Connie….I am lost😢
I'm sorry you are experiencing so many challenges. I also developed a dependency to a drug that was prescribed after a head injury. I managed to taper off of it slowly and have been free if it for two years now. It was not easy but it taught me that I can do hard things. I got help from Dan Buglio's you tube channel : Pain free you. Maybe it can help you too.
This is helpful. But you have to overcome you first . It’s the child damage that we all have to overcome your right.woman are more into relationships then men ! You always start with your mat.
I love your content Connie. 🥰You are an inspiration to live simply with contentment. Keep going! ❤️
Thank you Connie! Greetings from Poland❤
WoW the scenery 🩵 very peaceful... You are right, change the story you tell yourself if it hinders your life😇
I was hoping that you would enter the stream--started to worry when I saw you reading the book. :)
That was helpful, thanks!
How do you make that kind of choice at 13? You are special ☺️
Minimalist...with a ring on almost all fingers.....😮
very very true. creating ourselves means that we have to change ourselves, the finding journey should be the journey of changing ourselves.... i love the point. ❤👍
change is a laugh of nature incomparable beauty of romance with natural beauty natural phenomena and nature...!!!
loving ownself loving nature loving sorroundings loving friends relatives whosoever close to you
no name relationships... even
keep words
see goodness good everything
