  • This vlog is a bit different as I spent a week of self reflection thinking about what led me here. Thinking about overcoming adversity and how life leads you just where you want to be. After I made a tribute to my mother on the date that she passed away the 10th of December 2021 a week ago I've spent a few days looking in old photo albums.
    I wanted to share this and my vision of the house project with you, so here we are. This took all my free time this week so I haven't had time for any renovations so my hands are itching to get back at it starting tomorrow :-)

    Breathtaking. So very sorry about your Mum, and also your Dad. But you are living their dream. To see clearly where you want life to take you and be able to manifest that as a reality, without causing harm or hurt to another soul, but by restoring the precious skills and caring approach that has been so lost and easily forgotten in the world, is a truly wonderful thing. Thank you so much for sharing your journey Moaboa.❤

    The spirits of our loved ones are always guiding us and helping us when we listen. I am sure your mom had a helping hand in bringing the house your way again. your father and mother definitely passed down some amazing do it yourself attitude and I am so impressed with your skill level. I look forward to watching more of your renovation videos. You’re amazing.

    You are truly an inspiration - I know your mother was/is so proud of you. My own daughters are slightly older than you and although successful business women they don't have the drive to accomplish new tasks that you do. Keep up your vlogs - watching from (near Toronto) Canada - you have a lot to teach people about resilience and drive. Although seeing this so many months past I send you condolences for the loss of your mother.

    Thank you for sharing ❤️ So sorry for your loss. I lost my mom 2 years ago as well, to cancer. But not as sudden - she was ill for 3 years. Still really hard. She was also way to young (64). It is hard. I think the way you have turned your passion for travle into this amazing community (for lack of a better Word) is inspirering. It makes so much sense. I hope more people will see your videos and get inspired. Love from Denmark

    Thank you for sharing! It's heartbreaking with your parents story, and wonderful with all your travels! I wish your father strength to one day break free of his addictions. He seemed so wholesome in the old photos where he was tending to the animals on their farm. I hope that you succeed with your beautiful old house!

    Thank you for sharing your journey, harrowing as it has been. You have survived so much with grace. Growing up with addiction is hard, and you got a double whammy with your mom’s illness. Thank you for your vulnerability. I’m sure it will benefit more than a few viewers. I’m so glad you are gifting yourself with a life YOU want. Your creativity both in skills and life are amazing. I, too, have restored old houses for the better part of 50 years. I am dreaming of meeting you. Cheers!

    I, too, recently lost my mother on 5 November, 2023. I have been fighting my own battle with cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, since 2017. However, my mom was 99 years old when she passed and was living independently and driving until she had a health crisis in July 2021 and needed to go into assisted living. In August of 2021, I got us both into a retirement community, cleared out her house and sold it, downsized my own apartment, and set up our new apartment we leased in the retirement community. In 2022, mom had to move to the skilled nursing facility in the retirement community. Her passing was sudden, but not really a surprise. We lost.my dad in 2015. I applaud your desire to renovation and restore this old school, especially your desire to share the experience with others around the world both virtually and in person. You have just gained a new subscriber.

      Thank you and I'm so sorry about your losses 💔 must be so tough when at the same time being so low physically. Must make the way up so much harder. But you seem like a woman of action, taking action to move and prepare yourself like that! Very impressive and you got some time with your mother as well. Well done and I hope you are getting better every day ❤️

      Sorry for your loss, Moa. Part-way into this video I thought what wonderful friends you have and then, towards the end, thought what a good friend you must be; it shows in the way you communicate with us, your listeners.
