    Surprise - I'm back, y'all! 😊 I sure did miss you, and I'm excited to be back here making content for you. Here's what happened on my social media detox this summer and my complete guide to help you slow down YOURSELF: atozenlife.com/how-to-slow-down/

      You definitely inspired me, a long-term subscriber...I am impressed that your family of four traveled abroad with just a few suitcases and I remembered I made a comment on wanting to minimizing mine into 4... Next Sunday I will be traveling to UK from HK with 2 suitcases, 1 40L backpack and a big handbag. The rest will be sent in 3 boxes and that's it...Thanks for your videos and stories. Please continue making videos. We love them

    Yeay! 🥳 It's so nice to see your new video pop up on my notifications! Forget you? Never! You say such important things as you examine your experiences and share your observations and emotions. I'm glad you took a break and feel ready to do more! 💞💕💞

    Hi Marissa! I so admire you for taking 3 months off. I’m sure I’d feel the same as you - scared! I’m so glad it worked out well for you. I was inspired by you as I had gotten very burnt out myself. So I decided to post every other week on RUclips. It was freeing! And our channel has not slowed down at all because of it. I’m much less stressed because I’m working fewer hours. This content creating gig can easily take up 60 hours a week if we let it.

    • @AtoZenLife
      @AtoZenLife  2 года назад +1

      That’s so good to hear, Sara! I saw that your son also started a channel, congratulations to him - you guys always impress me with your energy. 💪

    You are soooo welcome back! It looks like you had a wonderful summer. Maybe it's more sustainable to take some breaks now and then, many youtubers feel the pressure to upload new content all the time. I'm so happy that you took time for yourself. :) Lots of love!

    • @AtoZenLife
      @AtoZenLife  2 года назад +11

      Yes, I think that might be wise. 🦉 I’m going to work on trying to find that right balance, as you said.

    Never would we forget you ! You and Dawn, minimal mom, changed how i live which is with less stuff. I moved and i also gave away furniture-so now i have spaces like you in my home that are empty! My garage is near empty!! I have a memory cabinet like you and this is where all my memory stuff -photos etc is stored. I have memory bins but need to go through them one more time. I bought some fireproff with zipper document bags which have locks and shoulder handlers. I am going to try out of for a container of memory stuff for each one of my kiddos. So i moved from a space of 1400 square feet to 2630 home with high ceilings, but i do have more peace, less to take care of, less messes because i got rid of 70% of my things including clothes. Project 333 wahoo! I let go of a garage full of my mom’s things with you and appreciate your vulnerable moments as you let go of things that felt like your mom and dad. I get it. I couldn’t have done it without you! A to Zen - yes there is peace is minimalism. And, the joy of time created when you have less stuff to take care of! Thank you for coming back! ❤️❤️❤️Jenean

    I loved your presentation at the get organized summit. I have some of that "sentimental" clutter. I was lucky enough to be a stay at home mom until my kids went to school but wish I could have had more time in the school years. Now it is almost retirement time and my husband and I are looking forward to spending more "me" time.

    Glad your back! I see that the kids get close to the swans. be careful they do have a powerful beak. If you want to give them a treat please do not give bread, it is not good for them. Take a romaine head down and they will love it! peel it and give one at a time. Kids will get a kick out of that! I have geese, that is why I am just giving some friendly tips... Glad you got rested up. I kinda do the same thing every once in a while...

    Me and my sister just discussed how relaxing and smart channel you have, so thank you for great content and welcome back!
    Please, don't ever feel you cannot take a break! People tend to feel guilty for their vacations, parental leave, or even illness... But other people don't judge you the same way you judge ourself, because - they are busy with their own lives and don't really notice you've been gone! They are still happy to have you back and see you are feeling well 🌹
