Beautiful Chorus - Hymn of Healing

Keep doing what you're doing. You really inspire me. Knowing that we can be alright by just living a simple life.
❤
Congratulations. Achieving this milestone, while living your dream.
You are very welcome. You deserve it.
Woot! Many congratulations! Here’s to 20k more!😊
Imagine that 20,000 people know who you are and enjoy watching your life , so amazing..happy for you🙂
Amen Sister… I have been working on a van for the last year and I just moved in three months ago. I am absolutely loving it. My family thinks I’m crazy except for one brother, who is actually helping me build out the van… I understand everything that you say you do.
I’m glad you didn’t let the opinions of your family deter you; that’s not always an easy thing to do. So happy you have your brother!
I love your answer to question why don't you live with family. We do alot of things we don't want to for alot of reasons. I love how you are doing you. There is real freedom in that.
You are inspiring to me! I am 56 and I want Van /Car life. I listen to you when I'm starting my day. Living like you a simple life is my life desire. Thank you for all your hard work 🎉💕
Thank you!
Info lookup cheaper living on RUclips older gentlemen has very useful information on vanlife.
I absolutely love your prepping and cooking. This old lady is learning. 😊 I would eat everything you cook. I have all the sauces you put in your kimchi. Your voice is smooth and gentle, your background music is comforting. I'm glad to hear you get along well with your family. But we all strive for independence. Be safe and aware out there.
Congrats on 20K, Monique! You deserved MANY many more!
I get bad migraine headaches. Nothing worse then going to bed with headache and waking up with headaches. You taught me something new today. I didn't know peppermint essential oil helped with headache. I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you ❤️. I’m feeling much better today.
Love your background music choice. Also, it's a great lesson that you can always learn from someone no matter how different you are, goes to show we are more similar than we are different...
I am inspired by how strong you are while still being gentle and purposeful. 💫
Thank you ❤️
It seems like there are challenges living in a small space. But the SIMPLICITY is what I love.💕 The FREEDOM is what I long for. Can’t wait to try Van Life.
Exactly!
Lucky! What great neighbors! Thank You Neighbors!
I am glad that you go to your parents to do your laundry and harvest vegetables. You seem to thrive on your independence and autonomy. I find you to be very interesting and intriguing. . Bless you 💜
I totally get it!!!
I LOVE my privacy and alone time and quiet time …. It rejuvenates me to go back out into the world and do my business and socializing and volunteer work I also need :-)
I wish one day you'll find your dream land and build your own house and grow your own food! ❤ I know you're happy as you are now but still it's not safe to be on the road alone. I wish you good luck with your goals! 🤲
Thank you ❤️. I hope so, too. I’m ready to have my own land.
Love your energy and spirit. I gave up a lot my my goals because of people, but I also succeeded in goals when I listened to my soul instead.
Been here from the the early Buick videos. I’m proud of where you are rn! Cheering you on!!!
Wow, thank you so much ❤️❤️
Ingenious and Experiencing Life as well traveling State to State Creating Economic Growth and Memories
I'm always impressed how much you cook in your van. I would be tempted to eat out all the time. Also, the music in this video was so good, thanks for sharing the info on the songs.
I put your vlogs on every single time I am looking for a recipe. I buy all the ingredients you buy! Lol. It's crazy how obsessed I am with you and how you cook. 😢❤
❤️
Proud of you sister. Keep being yourself no matter what at the end of the day.
Hey dearie! Just wanted to pop in and ask you to consider creating your own rituals for celebrating wins, both big and small. It's something we see frequently with the successful entrepreneurs. They have all these achievements, but they feel like hamsters on a wheel, just chasing, chasing, chasing. Turns out that the feeling of happiness/satisfaction with life comes from accomplishing short term and long term goals (you need both) and properly celebrating them. Celebrating the win can be as important as achieving the win in the first place. Celebrating is a way of setting up memorial stones so that when hard times come, you can go back to those good times in your head, the victories you know you had, and basically you can access caches of strength. Your celebration rituals do not ALL have to be extravagant. But you should have a few that are purposefully lux. Like if you accomplish a five year goal, maybe you go on a week long trip somewhere with some spa treatments included. Maybe you accomplish a short term goal, but it's a BIG one, you invest in something pricey that you want, but is going to help you grow your business or your channel. Surround yourself with touchstones. Something to think about.
I agree! I don’t know if I’ve ever celebrated any of my big or small wins. I really enjoyed treating myself the other week and it’s definitely something I want to start incorporating into my life more often.
I like how you enjoy the simplicity that is life…… you don’t try and know more than what you know or make it appear as if you do. It’s very refreshing to see someone who is living and not just trying to impress others, and congratulations on your viewership going up…..im sure you will get plenty more…….👍🏿😂
Thank you ☺️
Congratulations for 20,000 Monique!! You truly deserve it and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for you!
Thank you ❤️
So freaking elated for you!! Somebody started cutting onions up in here girl! Wishing you continued motivation, determination resulting in SUCCESS!
Thank you 😊❤️❤️
I’m grind ready to jump into this life too. One of my kids is doing it and is helping me look for the right van. He would like to see me in an RV but it’s harder to park those in places. I feel like I will go more places too if I want spending all my money on gas.
Yay! 20,000!!! Congratulations!
I love your peaceful nature
Congratulations on 20k
Congratulations 🎉❤
Congrats!
Congratulations Monique🎉
Congratulations on 20k and celebrating yourself! ✨🎉💃🏽👏🏽 I wish you continued growth and much success! 🙌🏽🙂
Yum organic fresh vegetables how beautiful thank you for sharing
Hi ther congrats on the 20k I enjoy your videos. The food looked scrumptious portions did look small I totally agree. Please drive and be safe. Also looking forward to seeing you recreate that truffle pasta 😅
Hello Monique!😊😊
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR OVER 20K so Proud of you!!🎉🎉🎉💫💫✨️✨️💪👏🙏♥️
Keep it coming sweetie, I enjoyed this video. I love your go-getter spirit 💪💪. Love the garden vegetables, they looked so very green, healthy, earthy and vibrantly tasty😊😊😋😋
See you in the next one sweetie, keep safe and cool 🙏♥️
Hi and thank you 😘❤️❤️❤️.
So many awesome wins! So glad the tide turned from last week or so. Free camera repair! Awesome. I love your perspective on commonalities as far as perseverance & hard work- it’s definitely inspiring to catch that fire. I agree with so many things & moods, even the slow times, I can relate to. & your parents land, wow how beautiful; but who can grow up & experience life living at their parents house. Ultimately the goal is just there, on the horizon.
Neighbors garden veggies much better than store bought.
Congrats on 20k! 🥳🎉💜
❤️

I LOVE korean food. I'm obsessed. I will try this recipie. That koren chili is my favourite chili. Also love kimchi and I made some by myself, it turned out really good.
CONGRATULATIONS Monique. Your vlogs are very inspiring for anyone who want a slower pace of life. We enjoy our van now since as covid happened and we couldn't go anywhere. We are making up for it now. Please stay safe. Thank you for sharing Geraldine north Wales UK ❤

Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾🎈 On Reaching 20k Subscribers On Your Channel and Continue to Grow and Be Your Best Congrats again stay blessed ❤
Thank you ❤️
It's very odd to me that people are obviously watching videos titled "Living in a Van Full Time", subscribe to said channel, comment on all of the videos regarding full time van life and then ask, "why don't you just live with your family"? 🤔LOL! It's a good thing I gave up trying to understand human behavior. It's too exhausting. Safe travels and maintain your inner peace 🙂
Congratulations on 20K AND 1 MILLION views!!!
Woohoo 🥳🙌🏾. Thank you!

Thank you 😊❤️
Monique 🖤,
Good Morning and thanks for uploading another awesome video. Also, congratulations on achieving 20k viewers… you definitely deserve it 🎊🎉.
Your videos are so inspiring and refreshing. Your voice is extremely soothing & relaxing and that makes it extremely satisfying & easy to watch/listen to.
Being able to pick fresh vegetables from a nearby garden is one of the best feelings in the world. I’m glad your parents’ neighbors welcomed you with that opportunity.
As always, I love your content (especially the cooking and music/sounds you select from the background) and look forward to seeing what’s up next. Be safe out there, stay motivated and healthy… and don’t forget to smile because it looks great on you. I wish you a fantastic rest of the day and an upcoming week surrounded by nothing less than positive energy. 🖤
Good morning!
I agree; it’s truly one of the best feelings ever. I just made another smoothie with the collards and kale I picked and it makes me feel so good to know where these ingredients came from.
Thank you so much for helping me get to 20K. I hope you have a beautiful week.
This channel relaxes me so much.
That genuinely makes me happy to know 😊
Congratulations on reaching 20k subscribers and the recent wins on your journey. Celebrate yourself, you deserve it!! Peace, love and light.🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!
Yeahhhhhhh congratulations to 20k!! And 1 million views. I am so happy to be a part of your subscriber count!!
That was definitely a lot of shea butter in that container. I too am guilty of doing the same.. as I look at the two empty lotion bottles that I am attempting to squeeze the very last drop out of!! LOL!
Happy Sunday! I hope that everyone is doing well and have a great day, week and nothing but happiness in this new month!! I am grateful that the weather is getting warmer!!
Hey, MsAbee1!! Thank you for the cash app donation, as well as the super thanks ❤️. I haven’t had time to reply to older comments, so I’m so happy you commented on this video. I appreciate you, very much.
@@simmpleenough Awwwwwwww Monique, you are very welcome!! 🤗 I really hope that you take heart and mind with what I shared!! 💙 stay sweet! 😊
I enjoyed the video,
thanks for putting the
name of ingredients
in your dishes.
You’re very welcome 😊
Congrats on 20K You def inspire me! I have not only bought Harissa last week because I want to try many of your recipes but I have also been inspired by how you plan your days and filming. I have a very demanding full time job and also create content to stay sane! I love how you found a commonality between you and the luxury ladies. That's life! Connecting! Thanks for sharing with us!
I’m so happy to know my videos inspire you; thanks for sharing that ☺️. I started my RUclips journey when I worked full time and it was not easy! I would’ve been much less stressed if I had learned how to better schedule my days. Hopefully you’ll find a way to balance it all. It already seems like you’re doing better than I was!
You are living the life...YOUR LIFE. That's beautiful💛
Thank you!
Monique, congrats on 20k, last time I said let's run those numbers up and you did just that!
Thank you so much 😊❤️❤️
I've enjoyed your channel, so calming! Your parents property(I appreciate peaceful environments) the enoki mushroom dish, looked tasty!!!! Korean food is one of my favs also(light/ flavorable/ delicious. Prayerfully you feel better soon 🙏🏽
Thank you ❤️. I’m feeling 100% better now.
I enjoy watching your down to earth snippets of yourself I enjoy your vibe,especially the music you listen to can you let us know the artist you groove to thanks so much.
Also congratulations!!!!
Thank you ❤️
You are a talented film maker sis. Thanks for sharing.Thanks!
Jazakallah khair ❤️❤️
I love Korean food, I’m obsessed too. I love your videos. We have a lot in common. Keep videos coming , I enjoy them so much .
Thank you ❤️
You look so happy after visiting your parents!!! 😁😁😁❤️
I was!
Happy vlog day Monique! I was once told to try vitamin b to help rid yourself of a headache. Works most of the time. The mushroom dish you prepared looked so good and I think I am going to try it. I think you should make a cookbook that features some photos from your travels - I would buy it. Blessings to you and be safe!
Lol, happy vlog day 😊! Thanks for the vitamin b tip! I’ll look into that.
Congratulations ❤
Thank you!
Good morning Monique I love the way you enjoy your life on your own terms. I also do things I like and not what others do. I’m retired and trying to live a simple life. I wish you would post more tho I understand you have to do what works for you. Stay blessed ❤️❤️❤️
Good morning ❤️
Okay Monique I have been inspired! I have a yard and it's early enough to plant something, I think I will.
Might I recommend cucumbers! They are so easy to grow. I slice and pickle mine in sugar water, salt, vinegar, and peppercorns. They are amazing when I put them on my sandwiches! Mine were still blooming in December in Texas! I also grow and pickle beets. I have a soaker hose around my house foundation and plant the babies along that soaker hose. I screw on a solar powered timer to the water hose spigot so they will automatically be watered daily. This way it is little to now work, once they are planted. I even go on vacation and don’t have to worry about watering. 🌱
You do what makes you happy and that is amazing. If everyone would live their lives the way they want and not what someone else wants, they would be so much happier. Blessings to you always. Enjoy your journey and always do what makes you happy.
I agree. Thank you ❤️
Hi Nicole, I like your videos, I wanted to comment last week. I have a garden with collard greens, strawberries, lemons, orange and avocados. My avocado tree has not produced any avocados but one time. I am going to water it more and hopefully it will produce some this year. The food you grow tastes better than the food that you buy. Lastly, I watched your video last week, and I was surprised to see that someone else transition from in back to the front do the same thing I do in my 2023 Transit Connect.
Lol, my name is Monique, but hi 👋🏾. Your garden sounds marvelous!
I love the space you have created for yourself!
Thank you 😊. I love you’re smile. Your profile photo always makes me smile.
@@simmpleenough Thank you!
I love what you said about the bougie influencers. I’m like I’m not grinding like that. Did that pre internet days 😂corporate. I watch them and I love watching you dearly! I’m 56 and I do enjoy watching others succeed in their own way.
Lol, I feel you. Thank you ❤️
If you put paper towels in with the greens, it will absorb the water and keep them from going bad fast.
❤❤self motivation is key❤❤
I enjoy being alone too!
It really is.
Definitely the same no waste tactics for my Shea butter! Every swipe is ALOT...
I LOVE KOREAN FOOD, TOO!
Definitely trying this recipe.
Definitely the same thoughts on the non-monolithic black, women. Agreed...I'll take a tree to the being any day...but hearing your NOT JEALOUS, just loving that they are doing them! Makes me respect you even more!
That's the difference between me and my biological sisters. Respect to them a d much love to their thriving.
As salam alikum! I loved this vlog!
For the industrial strength Velcro that keeps coming off from the sun, some solutions…
-drill it into the van
-try outdoor hooks made for high heat
-consider mounting brackets
Mashallah! Congrats! 🎉
Wa alaikum as salaam! Thank you for the suggestions 😊.
Congratulations!! Those restuarant prices are ridiculous 😮
Seriously. I won’t be back any time soon. And, thank you ❤️.
Gorilla glue double sided tape is really good. Its grey tape, but the paper cover is blue (like painters tape). Its pretty strong and may be better than the velcro. Maaaaybeeee
Thank you!! I’ll give it a try.
Watching u from France: not the same country, not the same color, not the same language (my english is rly bad), not the same life style but i like u gurl, i love your mindset, your style and i wish u the best inshallah ❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks!
Robert, you’re so kind. Thank you 💛.
Monique, you are such an amazing chef! Have you ever considered having a food truck/restaurant, etc?
Thank you ❤️. I’ve thought about it, but that lifestyle is too stressful for me, lol. I spoke to a lot of the executive chefs and restaurant owners I used to work with and they were mostly stressed & in a ton of debt. One chef/owner told me he was 1 million dollars in debt 😳😳. I thought he was rich because he’s always walking around wearing Gucci this and Louis Vuitton that, but he told me he was darn near broke. His story is not uncommon in that industry. Nope, no restaurant/food truck for me! But I appreciate your comment, very much ❤️❤️.
@@simmpleenough Oh my goodness!
Maybe you could link up with other van lifers. At events I think you would really enjoy them. You only live once. Plus it's great content.
I tried one of your recipes; garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame seeds, mushrooms, coconut sugar, tofu, sriracha (I substituted a few things). AMAZING!
Yuuum!!
I love your videos. I just wanted to say if you use one cup vinegar and one cup water and the instant pot, you can put it on simmer or steam give it a couple of minutes. Take the remaining that’s left in there and drop the seal in there too, and wipe down the lid with the remaining in there with the cloth, you’ll smell more rubber seal air dry of course rinse first
Thank you for the tip!
What I most admire about you is how frugal and thoughtful you are about your money and daily items, the fact that you chase and harness your own dream, not the dream our society pushes to “make it” or be successful” keep being you, you are a wonderful example of a modern woman.
Thank you ❤️
Hi Monique, new subbie. I really enjoy your channel. I rarely comment. In fact, this is my first comment since subscribing to your channel. I want to ask you why you don't have an air conditioner in your van? I think that's a must in a van during the hot months. Continue making great content for us!!!❤
Hi! My van came with the normal air conditioner that vehicles come with, I just don’t like to use it often, to avoid draining my gas tank so fast. There are a few products I want to try to help keep me cool this summer. I’ll share them on here 😊
@@simmpleenough OK, I look forward to seeing it!!! ❤️
You inspire me to start my channel...I am a traveling healer, farmer, and creative entreprenuer. I travel...I keep going back to my parents place to touch home-based, but am calling in my own land as a journey to other homesteads and see how others have made of their land.
I have a couple spots in my hometown where I grow heirloom greens for private/local chefs, forage for wild greens and i am now preparing a pop up farm stand. I look forward to crossing paths with you and sharing harvest, communing in a natural space and being liberated through self sufficiency.
I agree with you on the why with your parents. Ma and Pop are supportive and truly don't want me my van...but It's a personal preference for self+reliance towards self+sufficiently.
Got to the end of your video and need to add, YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION AND I do watch you to know work with you towards my desires/goals.
I’d love to cross paths and learn from you. Natural healing and foraging are skills I hope to acquire.
How do you find homesteads to visit? Do you have friends/acquaintances with homesteads? I visited a woman’s small homestead, years ago. She was a blogger who held an event on her land. It was a tiny plot of land in the west palm beach, fl area. I was amazed at what her and her partner did with such little space. It’d be wonderful to visit others.
I am apart of a network called, WWOOF. Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms.
It's a great way to work with farmers, see where food comes from, prepare by hands-on experiences about farm living/homestead life. You get to be a help for alot of them, be an extra hand, learning, immersing, they provide (REQUIRED) a space to sleep and a place to shower (the last one I am visited had a sauna she promoted using after I worked on my van after I journeyed from so far). You can get a contract to work anywhere...I've been awarded this year's Future farmer's grant which allows me to work on a farm this summer and learn Advance Agroecology.
I have mentors from farms, and being an earthseed that school me on foraging. I identity edible plants, wild greens, mushrooms, I'm mostly plant based but I aim to eat what I can process my self as by my own homestead takes shape (every thing i want is coming and the land I steward is already mine in mind, even if not yet on the physical plane)!
I also am from the Midwest, with roots in the South, so I have friend and family farmers, who I periodically connect with and trade as a healer/helper/spacekeeper.
I watch those luxury girls for the same thing. They go hard. They motivate and inspire me. I don’t need that lifestyle but their energy is what I need. You do the same for me. I love your videos for motivation and inspiration too. 💜
Exactly! And thank you ❤️
Hey, Monique! How do you keep the food smells out of your clothing? You inspired me to change up breakfast tomorrow to a peanut butter, banana, and spinach smoothie! I also add a little fresh lemon juice, salt, and stevia to mine. My dream is to also have a simple, modern modular house with my beloved on maybe 3 acres, with a garden and dogs to guard the property. Right now I am single and am behind on starting my annual garden because of recent surgery and illness. Keep grinding, Sister!😘
Hey! I can’t do much to avoid my clothes smelling like food. I don’t have febreeze or anything like that, so I’ll just put them in the dirty clothes bag if the smell won’t air out.
Yum! I'm definitely gonna copy the Korean dish, only omitting the tofu. I'm allergic to tofu. Appreciate you sharing your tastes in different foods and sharing your goals . I wanna shout out another youtube content creator that you might like. I believe she's Korean. I'm not sure if that's appropriate on your channel. I gotta try peppermint oil on my temples for headaches. I currently use castor oil, also drinking lots of water. ( works for me ) Anyways, enjoy your day/ night. Be safe, Be well.
I hope you like it 😊😋. Yes, shout her out! I love discovering new RUclipsrs. Half the people I’m subscribed to have stopped uploading consistently, so I’m looking for new people to watch.
Thanks for the castor oil tip. I use castor oil for numerous things, but never knew it could be used for headaches.
@simmpleenough
Her channel is Ssoberry. It's interesting to me to see how people live, whether it's being a van lifer, a female/male trucker, or living in a tiny home. People tend to make it work. I don't eat pork or seafood, but I still like to watch the other dishes and desserts other cultures eat. And watching how they make them outdoors in the woods or in a van, car or tent is amazing. I'll share more of the channels I watch if you're interested. Just let me know from the ones I mentioned.
And congrats on ur 20K and whatever personal goals you accompolish. You're welcome for the tips also. 🤗😉
Sometimes I'm inspired by someone who is the opposite of me. Just the other day I found another young miss whose story is inspiring, "lesha Gilchrist." Congratulations on reaching the 20K milestone.
I just checked her out and her story is, indeed, inspiring. From sleeping on her sister’s couch to owning her own business…I love it 🙌🏾
Peace. You can create a pdf short cook book
She wont see this but I hope she gives us a tour soon! congrats on 20k
I have a van tour video on my channel. Thank you!
Be safe Beloved ❤️🩹🙏🏾
Just subbed. Enjoying ur vids. I have a tiny home on wheels, lease an affordable lot, but hope to buy land someday, maybe lol, I am 69 yrs old, so we’ll see 🙏
Thank you 😊
As Salaam Alaikum Monique. Do you have a cookbook? I would love to buy it.
Wa alaikum as salaam 😊. No, I don’t have a cookbook I can sale, at the moment. Hopefully one day.
