Hi! I was really able to relate to this and it was heartbreaking seeing you cry in the beginning. I hope that you'll be feeling well-rested soon and that everything will fall back into place. I recently heard someone say this and I really liked it and thought it might help: "You don't get burnt out from doing too much, you are burnt out from doing too little of the things that you love."
I wish you the best!
Thank you Peter! (:
I Wish you the best,God bless you
Thanks for being so real in this one. It's inspiring to see how your heart is so giving, even while going through a difficult time. Also, your pottery pieces are so beautiful.
Aw thank you (:
“Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest” Matt. 11.

Virtual hugs from the Philippines. I always watch your vlogs. I love how you live your life, simple and yet very meaningful. Know that you are loved by many. I am thankful I discovered your channel. I learned a lot of things when it comes to living a simple life. You are truly a blessing to many of your subscribers, and may our good Lord continue to bless the works of your hands. Always looking forward to your next vlog!
Aw thank you Jhoana (:

Sometimes we seek perfection, or excellence, which is good, but most important is to seek peace in everything we do.
Liebe Christine, das Leben geht immer weiter - egal, wie wir uns fühlen. Bitte nimm Zeit für dich selbst, immer wieder, regelmäßig. Wenn du das nicht machst, bist du irgendwann nicht mehr gesund. ❤
this hurtfully relatable i hope we will be better soon
edit: thanks for making me realise im not the only one strugling
I hope that your grandmother gets well soon and that you're able to find some relief from anxiety. ❤️
That cry really resonated so much to me. Life’s been a little messy lately, like trains keeps bumping at each other and never stopping. With all problems encompassing life, family, personal and work tangled up - it gets a bit heavy and those tears spoke volumes. Thank you for this video, it made me reflect and pause even for just 8mins. 🤎
What a hard working and tender hearted woman you are. Praying for you - Gods tangible presence, love, peace, and His pace for your life.
Taking a break for ourselves is so necessary. I just love the pumpkin doodle cookie BTW!👍👍👍👍
Aw yay!! Thank you for supporting (:
@@simplybychristine 😀😀😀
Thank you for such a beautiful and relatable vid 🤍🤍
You have been missed. It is good to take time off, to rest and remember. I hope all is well with your beloved grandmother.
Sometimes we fail to recognize how much we actually work. This was a work-filled video as well, even though a little more low key and in a home setting mostly. Still it's work. I don't mind having those boundaries blurred between work and other things, but sometimes I schedule things too tightly in my head. Also, a "paradoxical intervention" is very much needed sometimes - a visit to the cafeteria for a couple of hours or maybe a couple of days at a local spa. Scheduling in those mini-breaks and embracing them without guilt is key
I'm glad you took a break, Christine. Similarly I've been stressed with my two jobs and had to fly back to my hometown in NY two weeks ago due to the death of my biological father as well as getting my grandmother stable with her finances and health and whatnot (with the help of my mom also named Christine). We weren't extremely close but I had hoped he gave his life back to the Lord before his passing. I had a dream of him last week of us listening to music with a crowd of people but then he started wasting away. My maternal grandfather didnt know about my dream, and tends to have visions himself, and he dreamt of hearing music and seeing my father alive and walking with a crowd go somewhere with the music playing, looking young and healthy again. He saw my grandpa but looked like he had to keep moving. So maybe he did get saved and the Lord took him home. I hope your grandmother will be okay and your parents are safe in their travels. If you don't mind me asking, has she considered moving to CA? I'm leaving my second job and applied for a less stressful one that also pays more and allows me to have more time for me as well as improve in my first job; I pray and hope I get it. And I'm hoping to move in with a friend for a time to save money as well to be able to buy property. The Lord's got us. If I could I'd give you a hug but for now I pray the Lord continues to hug and comfort your spirit. Take care, Christine. ❤❤❤
Aw man, that's so much to bear Priscilla. Hugs to you as well and take care. Thank you for your kind words.

Love this Kind of videos so so much. It gives me inner peace. Hope your grandmother gets well soon.
You did well, to care for you, I'm sure you will be totaly fine again. I went through the same and needed more than one month. But joy comes back. Wish you all the best from my heart and stay true! 🍁🌷🕊
Pumpkin doodle is so good
Just sending some love from Germany to you
❤️
Nothing wrong with taking a break and I’m glad you did. Our body gently sends us warnings and if we keep ignoring them then at some point it will make us stop.
I love how your cookies, pottery plates, and pop up tent look from far, SoCal.
I'm so inspired with all of your videos. Always give your self a good pat and say hey you need a break. Thank you for this Christine. May the Lord bless you and give you strength everyday. Always stay happy and put joy in everything 💗🍪
Sending you a big virtual hug!
Such a soothing, much needed video today! Nice to see that Cooper gets some treats, too (and nothing goes to waste!).
So important to take care for yourself, well done for doing it, Christine. I hope it get's better soon. Sending you the healing energy🌈 and warm hug from a cold Holland! 🫂
Best wishes and much love 💘
HIII. I found on the comment section of one of Jonathan Ogden’s worship sessions! This is the first video I watched from your channel. It was so vulnerable, wholesome and beautiful! I’m gonna subscribe now :D haha. I pray the Lord continues to bless your business beyond your hopes and expectations and that He comforts you greatly. Be still my friend and trust in Him (psalm 46:10 /psalm 94:19). :)
LOVED how vulnerable you were in sharing this with all of us! Know you're making a difference in young, Christian women's lives (my daughter for one...that's how I found you). Keep taking each day anew and let the Lord handle all your anxieties, He wants to care for you in this way!! Merry Christmas and may 2022 be full of joy 🎄
Just love watching yoyr vlogs....take care & stay strong...life is unfair most of the time...
Glad you took a little time off. Take care- wishing you and your family the best! ❤️
Hello, I just found your channel. It was a beautiful video, your cookies 🍪 looks so good, the plates for your grandmother is gorgeous. Even the way you pack things are beautiful. I hope you have rested well and thank you for the video. It was truly inspiring. Love from South Africa. 🌻
Hi Christine I just accidentally found your channel and boy I’m so happy I did I haven’t stop watching and getting cut up with all your videos, you transmit peacefulness and tranquility which set you apart from the typical minimalist channels out there. Thank you for being so real and please keep posting. A new fan 😊
Excited to know that your cookies are being shipped nationwide! I'm a foodie, so looking at the cookie without being able to try has been difficult! I hope that your grandmother's health is improving. I will make sure to pray for her.
My dear sister, I know what you feel right now, years ago I get depress, and is not nice, and you feel embarasing because we are Cristians, why to be depress?, But it hapens. I have a son with a very deep sadness, It comes and goes, is not easy, but our Lord Is with us, right next of us, during the storm. Don't let go His hand. I'll pray for you, your husband, and your grany. God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
hi Christine so sad to see you looking so depressed, good job you had cooper there. Sounds to me as though you have a lot on your plate, and doing this business nationwide must be so time consuming for you, but well done. You have cracked it. Hope your family get to TAIWAN safely. julie in france
I was just thinking I haven’t seen a video from you in a while. And then instantly thought “she must be overwhelmed. She’ll post when she’s ready” oxoxo
I felt you when you cried. I'm soo sorry. Please accept my virtual hug friend. I got through this past year by sitting in silence with my creator and just being still in He who is stronger than me. All I could think to do was to surrender all.
So honest...thank you!!! And I didn't know you are also a potter (that's the right word isn't it🤔) I love those sweet little plates 💙
You have such a beautiful little pop up ! I would love to come and buy some cookies, unfortunaly i live in France. Take care of yourself !
Your videos are always worth the wait. Don’t feel pressured 🙂 hope you are doing better 💓
Only those who love and feel deeply get anxiety. It is the downside of being a beautiful soul. You could live without anxiety but you would not be the wonderful empathetic person you are now.
Glad you took a break, and took care of yourself! 💜 Thank you for sharing this video, it's always a bright spot when you post!
I recently felt unbearable heavy too. But life must go on
Take a good care of yourself, Christine. You can make it.
we are living in tough times lots of chaos in the world. everyone i know is struggling.. everyone you are not alone. Go out in nature it will help with anxiety, if you can move to the countryside it will help heal your soul.
Well done for getting your rest and your cookies look amazing! 😁
You go girl! 😊 I wish I was in S/F city and definitely to say a hello 👋🏻
Take care Christine..good to see you after a month.. you are so strong..
Please Christine don't be so sad. Life has is ups and downs has well has our feelings this only show us that we are human. Hope you get more happy soon.
Congratulations on the success of your cookie company.
I love your neat pottery pieces! Big hug from afar!
WoW 🤩 you are awesome continue being so 💓💓💓👍🌟🙌
I love you ❤️ thanks for sharing this reality
anxiety would come, as well as all those affiliate links haha
Big hug ❤️
Oh Christine, I felt your pain! I hope that you are feeling better and enjoying some time to slow down. I will be praying for you and your grandmother 💜
Thank you Mikayla (:
Aww feel better take it slow...❤ I love your cookies but sigh shipping to Alaska is too expensive! Im sad lol
UPS is expensive! Hope you get to try it some day though (:
I love you 😍 💗 💛 simple woman 👩
Hi Christine! Thanks for the video :) wondering how it’s been implementing your values of minimalism and low waste while starting a business. Something I’d be interested to watch! :)
Hey Sally! I have a video on that here (: ruclips.net/video/habmSNzIbto/видео.html
I’m glad to hear from you ☺️
It will be okay . It always does
Being a small business owner is not easy as you are both a creator and business person. I have been there. Thank you for sharing with us and happy to see you put so much love into your cookies! Maybe one day I can get a cookie of yours to try in Canada 🇨🇦 Cheers!
Just realized I said “try” your cookie which means hopefully a chance to BUY it! Wasn’t trying to get a free cookie 🍪 lol 😂 In case it came off that way
🇧🇷 coloca tradução ☹️
This really hit home. I also recently launched a small local business and while keeping my full time job I’ve been pretty much hitting the wall everyday and my anxiety has been through the roof. Remember that you don’t have to be resilient or strong, you can be soft, seek gentle love and fully feel what you feel. Don’t feel pressured to do anything that doesn’t feel right with your gut. Your community supports you in whichever way you need 🥰
Are you sick?
I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability in your vlogs. I don't always comment, but I'm praying that you find some rest and peace through difficult times. 🥺
Christine, I just want to give you a big virtual hug after watching this video! I have anxiety as well, you aren’t alone. Thank you for sharing! Hugs❤️❤️❤️
Hiii, i love your videos so much! This is so relatable. Thank you for creating these wonderful content 🥰
Your tears you shared are so relatable and heartfelt. I love your precious vulnerability. Thank you for sharing this Miss Christine. May peace slowly comfort you without rush. - Mal
I just found your channel through this video. Thank you for this amazing work of art. I've been feeling guilty of not being productive as usual but I also knew that I would have a break down if I didn't hit pause for a minute.
Hopefully your grandmother will feel better soon! Take good care of yourself, too. Thank you for also sharing the sad moments with us. God bless you!
I'm so glad that I am not in this alone. This video popped up at the most perfect moment for me. Seeing you show your real emotions and vulnerability makes me feel very safe here. I have been having a really hard time with my anxiety and my mental health and being away from my family for so long. Being away at school has just been so hard especially since the months are getting colder and darker all at once. I just feel like a shell of a human being at this point. Anything and everything can make me cry at any moment. I mean for god's sake I cried the other day over not having any paper towels left in my college house. Professor's don't seem to realize the toll that homework can take on us students mentally. Especially because we are doing multiple projects at once for many different classes. I just hope that I can make it through this semester alive because I know that there is a tunnel of light once I reach the end of it. I'm trying to take things day by day but sometimes even the thought of getting out of bed is overwhelming to me. But I force myself to do so because I want to be successful and graduate on time. Sometimes tough love is the best type of love that I need to give myself. I have also missed a lot of my classes this semester in the beginning so I have recently been pushing myself to go to them even though it may be very hard for me. I have cried myself to sleep so many nights so I just need to take more time for myself and realize that I am a human being with fragile emotions. I had one of my professors' yell at me and tell me how badly the project I had been working hard on for a while looked. I felt defeated because he said it in front of the entire class but I know that I can do this if I just keep going and pushing through even on the bad days. It's also been hard lately because I am not sure who to trust in this world besides my family and I am far away from them so I miss home a lot. I'm really sorry about leaving you with this novel of a message but I just thought that I would let you know and others know that you are NOT alone. Everyone's emotions are valid and to whoever is reading this you are beautiful please remember this. I hope my struggles/story helps someone.
So happy to hear we can now buy your cookies online!!! Also, sending you a big hug! 💞
Something i realized after watching so many of your videos is they made me care about you which feels odd when i remember ive never met you. Even so, it feels nice to want to wish you so well and feel pain when you do too. I appreciate your work, it makes me feel human.
You have alluded to these struggles in past videos and whenever I have seen a new video posted I have wondered in the back of my mind, 'I hope Christine is making herself a priority'.
As someone who has panic attacks and worries about being the best at what I do, I have had to remind myself daily, that the world won't end if I don't surpass what I did, yesterday, last month.
And I am also reminded as a Christian that even Christ took time away from others and daily responsibilities. If we are to emulate Christ we need to remember this. Rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Christ departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. (Mark 1:35)
The raw emotion from you in this video is a good reminder that it is okay to not be okay. Taking time to rest, reflect, and heal are so important for our mental, physical, and spiritual self. It has become more evident during these times of isolation and uncertainty that to take time for ourselves not only benefits us but those around us. Sending prayers for strength, patience, and health.

Sorry to hear, but glad my videos are able to do this for you. Thanks for watching (:
I feel you. I've been dealing with my anxiety since last week. Maybe this is how the world works. All we need to do is to be strong and have self compassion.
Stay strong!
Breaks are always needed!

This side of you was a bit of a surprise to me having watched your more recent, calm and optimistic videos! But you dealt with the low mood in a wise fashion, recognizing it and taking a break for a while. Well done, Christine. So nice to see your cookie business thriving. If I lived in your neighborhood instead of the UK would definitely be visiting for those delicious snacks! Take care now and I'll keep watching!
