      How lovely, this was just the encouragement I needed right now after having made a "difficult" decision regarding my living situation. As I got no clear "yes, this way!" I realized that all three options were good. One stuck out as being a bit of a regression, one as being a bit too big of a jump, so I took the middle path and am lining up with it, slowly and happily. I know deep down that all is well, no matter what. We just can't get it wrong, that's just the drama lover in our minds that wants to spice things up a bit ;) (and that's fine, too). Well-being and joy, new perspectives and explorations follow us, or await us, wherever we go. No escape :). And our needs, preferences, desires, interests and facets are always taken into account in the best way. That's just natural...Thank you, Paola and Shifairah. I wish you a wonderful life

    Transition can be a scary experience, I remember all the changes and shifts I experienced as a child and young adult, and I get goose bumps even now just reflecting upon them. However, as I've gotten older, I discover more frequently that I embrace changes now rather than mourn or fear, that I lean into transition rather than against. It sounds odd - isn't it usually the opposite - don't we usually resist change as we get older? The tree with the beautiful blossoms on it reminds me of those we have here in Italy. Ours our white and pink blossoms. In our village, we have the pink blossoms, but they only show up 1 month out of the year, while for the rest of the year the trees hold only dark reddish/brown leaves, and no hint of the beautiful blossoms that flourish in 1 month of Spring. Your videos are a sweet whisper of hope and contentment. Thank you for being who you are, and for sharing your life with us.

    I'm just 14 years old, and I live in Iowa. I've wanted to live just like you for a long time now, in fact, your videos are what first spark this in me. I understand it firsthand when you say it's intimidating. I don't know how to make the leap or what I need to do to ensure my future will be what I want it to be. I have a plan of what I want laid out, and I'm scared to death that I won't be able to live it because of I mistake I made. I'm terrified that along the path I may stumble, but above that, I don't even know how to find the path in the first place.

It really bothers me because they were so much more than a statistic just like everyone else who succumbed from this virus. Memories of them don’t hurt like it first did and I know they are still with me. Prayers for your loved one’s and patiently waiting for the video. Dude you have a God given gift!

    I too have had so many changes, selling our home of 35 years, moving north, I too live in Washington state, born and raised and am building my dream cottage. I retired from working at a school for almost 30 years and once settled in my home will unlock my creative soul that has had to lay dormant in all of this change and is crying to be set free once again. I look at your home and it is in the same way I surround myself. You are amazing and encouraging with your brave spirit.

So I am encouraging you to be fearless and experience every adventure that comes your way. Take chances and live because you will wake up one day not that far in the future and will too realize most of your life is behind you. Hopefully you will be content with that realization because you did not hold back.

Best of luck Evan and don't worry so far for me the quality of the videos has been good what is important is the quality of the content and for that, I give you a thousand stars. They are microphones and wide-angle lenses that can be attached to the phone, the bidirectional microphone is one of them, they sell a base to put the phone in the tripod and then attach all those goodies, but a camera in 4k is another history, but you will have to learn how to edit the sound and the video and that is time-consuming. God bless you, my friend.

    In my spiritual growth I am definitely learning the far GREATEST part of us is the unseen. We often don't even know but that is the real us. This physical is just what we need for this place and time. I will pray for your people. God Bless! Janice

    As a person whose family has a dog, I think I speak for many people when I say I don't even notice dog hair anymore 😂

      As a dog lover, I wouldn't complain about dog hair found in the mail from a talented artist that has a cute dog. :) (It would actually make me smile. I hope that the customer in question was nice about it and only tried to help her improve her business by pointing it out.)

      @@misspeach3755 Exactly, and all that is necessary is to state its coming from a home that has pets.. Smoke smell is a different matter all together.

      One of my co-workers asked what to “bring from Publix” (local grocery store) to a potluck lunch at work. Then she said “I have 4 dogs and no one wants me to bring food from home.” LOL!

    Wow Paola I am even more amazed at your videos now that I've learned you do it all yourself and just with a phone. Wishing your family members a speedy recovery and good health :)

    I'd be honoured to receive three black dog hairs in my package! All that positive energy from an animal soul mate is so precious! 🐕💓

      Me too. I also have a dog, and laugh every time I am away from home and find his hair somewhere.

      Me too. It actually adds a personal touch, I think. (It always makes me giggle when I'm at work and suddenly feel an itch only to realize that it's some dog hair from yesterday's grooming session with my boyfriend's dogs. :D )

    I think you don’t give yourself enough credit for the quality of your videos. I can’t imagine them getting better, but look forward to them going forward. Best of luck on your new path. Lastly and most importantly, thoughts, prayers and positive vibes for a speedy recovery for your loved ones.

    You are amazing. You are doing a fantastic job. I love the visuals in your recordings. Never have I come across such beautiful color, art, creativity, skill and much more! Keep it up. Also, I have picked up so many ideas plus inspiration from your videos. I have subscribed. You speak very calmly, patiently and precisely; unlike other ‘too loud’ presenters whom I find hard to follow. Thank you very much. Lolly

    Good morning Paola. I just finished reading'The Midnight Library' by Matt Haig. Without revealing any spoilers, the gist of the story is however your journey unfolds, you get to where you supposed to be, no matter what. I'm excited for you and look forward to cheering you on along the way. Sending greetings from NY. Tina
