I wonder if you have ever considered voicing an audiobook. Your voice is wonderful and so calming and easy to listen to! How amazing it would be to listen to you narrate a fairytale!
I'm deployed and your videos give me so much peace. I'm not anywhere dangerous but it is draining constantly being on guard and constantly worrying for and taking care of my men's problems. I can't wait to be home and enjoy a quieter, slower, more peaceful pace and place.
If we are not made for this world, how come we are here? And we come equipped with lungs and legs and kidneys and all the necessary parts to survive on this planet?
I'm a retired librarian, and also a lover of words and books. I'd like to mention a few books I love: -The Lost Spells, by Robert MacFarlane & Jackie Morris -The Lost Words, by the same authors. Both books have incredible watercolors. -The Secret Lives of Color, by Kassia St. Clair. It gives the history of almost any color you can imagine. Even the pages are color-coded on the edges. -The Land of Stone Flowers: A Fairy Guide to the Mythical Human Being, by Sveta Dorosheva. Told from a fairy's point of view. Impressive art! Thank you for your beautiful videos!
Hi Jean :) I saw your book list and I was quite enchanted, so I straightaway ordered both Robert Macfarlane books! Thank you for sharing the names here. I am looking forward to receiving them, a little pre-Christmas gift for myself :)
Haha just looking up your list I realize I have The lost words it’s a beautiful book. I’m definitely going to order the land of stone flowers, that looks beautiful thank you for your recommendations.
I often weep when I watch your videos. This is the life I crave...the one that will bring color and joy back to my life. Your videos tell me that healing is within my grasp, and that everyone deserves peace. Thank you.
I am trying to avoid youtube and social media as much as possible. I decided that if the content is not healthy for my mental state, I will not view it. I always watch your videos because they are so calming. Thank you for sharing your story and your journey.
Wow, I was journaling about "anemoia" this morning without even realizing it! Thank you for helping me put it into words, as well as sharing that C.S. Lewis quote. I was reflecting on the deep longing I have in my heart, and made the connection of my longings to the garden of Eden. To be arm-in-arm with the Lord, walking through luscious greenery and flowers, feeling the sun and the radiance of God on my face, and enjoying the peace of a world without sin, darkness, and death. We were not made for this world, and maybe, just maybe, that longing deep inside for that nostalgic wonderland that we've never experienced is a longing for the days of Eden that our oldest ancestors experienced, and the glorious days to come? Anyways, I thought it wasn't a coincidence that I had these musings this morning, and that you shared similar ones today too. Thank you for creating a place on the internet where I feel seen and known, and not silly for writing a little journal entry on your RUclips video comments
The rapture! Because it did exist ! Our memories will soon come back!😊🕊️thanku for sharing🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌹Ur dream and Ur family for sharing the house ,one my favourite videos of yours...the favourite actually....the dream...it's real🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌
Allie , I was looking for a comment like yours. We know that God will fulfill all of our longings. Knowing Him, we can experience some of that now but we also have the hope of His promise of eternity. It's nice to to learn about other beliefs and traditions but always remember as Jesus said, " I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life,no one comes to the Father except by Me". ( John 14:6 - my emphasis). 😊 ~ Heather ~
@@bradrushing5959 as me also 😊😁 the rapture is near...ppl who aren't even Jesus follower have been experiencing rapture like things....🕊️💓. Iv been wondering why father hasn't spoke to anyone .... I wonder what he is doing...
Thank you for your comment, you articulated my feelings well. When I first saw this C.S. Lewis quote I just KNEW that there was more to life than this little earthly existence. So grateful for the gift of faith, hope, and peace that I have received this year. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! God bless you 🙏🏼 😊 ❤️
I’m going to stop using my phone from tomorrow and before I disconnect myself from this world. I just want to let you know that your videos are therapeutic.I love every single one of them. Thank you for being here and sharing your thoughts with us.
I just want to say I love this channel. I want this life. I love being quiet and enjoying my books and no drama. I dream of a life where I can wake up, walk through some gardens, cook some healthy meals, read my books in peace and say hello to my neighbors who are living the same way. Quietness and calmness. :)
Hello everyone ❤️ hope you are well * my brother made some new music if you are interested in his work: ruclips.net/video/1w4bBTyZ1Gc/видео.html *a little correction on this video, the words I mentioned are mostly coined by the dictionary itself, they are not old words, but new ideas. I have not been feeling great this week and my brain is fried, sorry!!!! *I am working on correcting the Spanish subtitles, they are currently auto translated but will be reviewed ASAP
It’s funny because in French, we have a sentence (not a word) for that nostalgic feeling caused by a smell (or anything else). We call it « La madeleine de Proust » (Proust’s madeleine) because, Marcel Proust in his book called « La recherche du temps perdu » taste a madeleine cake and all his childhood memories are brought back because of the smell and the taste of the cake. It’s now a common saying in French, to refers as Madeleine de Proust an element that bring back memories and nostalgia. I wish you and your family great holidays.
Actually I thought about that as well although I am not French. In English too there’s a word for it… Proustian moment! Actually I’ve had Proustian moments so often even before I came to know there was a word for it and the story behind it! Coincidentally I love Madelines too 😊 I’d love to read À la recherche du temps perdu sometime! In the time I’ve spent knowing and reading about it, I could’ve read a lot of it by now 😂 but well… Btw, there’s a holiday/festival in India called Deepavali or Diwali around the end of November the festival of lights and it’s something cottage fairy and many of us would love! 🕯️
Your parents' home is lovely! "A yearning for a reality we innately know yet cannot grasp." "So many mysteries worth considering." ❤❤ Your watercolors are beautiful!"
A yearning for what we know but cannot grasp sounds like heaven. ...eyes have not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9.
The beauty of nature is always heartbreaking to me, and I’m never quite sure why or how to explain it. I also always seem to long for a home that doesn’t exist.... Much love to you
Wonderful video!! We are in the season of Advent right now. This is in anticipation of the coming of Christ the infant. This season is much like lent in that we prepare our hearts ( purify/ repent). Come Lord Jesus- Emmanuel!
"A heartbreaking sort of beauty" is the exact thing I feel every time I watch one of your videos. I often cry when I watch them. I used to not understand why, but you described it perfectly. I cannot put into words how wonderful these videos make me feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤
Hey, so much to say. Beautiful watercolor art! Please don't get burnt out with replies and admin for this channel and then lose your creativity and joy of life because that's why we love you so much. Take care and thank you. Steve ☺️
Paola, your definition of anemoia is the closest to “hiraeth”, a welsh word that defies concise and precise description, that I‘ve ever heard! I love that you have found this connection between cultures!
Your parents house looks so cozy and filled with heart and love. And the snow! Gorgeous! I know of course that it's not a perfect fairytale you or your parents live but you give me so much relaxation and positivity with these beautiful shots, music and thoughts. I could cry because of the happiness I felt during this video. THANK YOU PAOLA. I wish you and your loved ones beautiful, relaxed and blessed Christmas and a happy new year in advance. ❤️ Also a ghost hug from me. I will also stay with my parents for over one week. Looking forward to spend quality time with them. ❤️
I celebrate Christmas, but also St. Lucia Day on December 13, which I may like a little bit more! It's a Scandinavian holiday that celebrates light in the darkest time of the year. The oldest daughter wears a crown of candles on her head and brings a tray of goodies to her family. Jonna Jinton has a couple of gorgeous videos about it!
I usually celebrate Hanukkah alone. It is usually 8 lovely days of solitude. I hand-roll my own candles for the menorah out of beeswax, and doing so allows me to indulge in contemplation about gratitude and faith. This year, however, my boyfriend was visiting me for two weeks. He is not religious whatsoever - nor Jewish or familiar with its customs - but when he found out he would be here during the entirety of Hanukkah, he was so excited. He bought me 8 presents for each day, a "Hanukkah" candle with a personalized message on its label, and a handwritten card about how happy he is to spend the holiday with me (which, of course, made me cry). I work until very late at night, and I would come home to the menorah all clean and set up, complete with the candles he rolled himself as I taught him. It was such a wonderful, thoughtful way to spend a holiday that I had observed on my own for so long. I am so immensely grateful for him.
Anemoia has taught me to simply live in the moment. Why would I feel nostalgic but desperate to live in a perfect future when I don't make time to appreciate and acknowledge what is truly happening in the moment. Thank you very much Paola. Happy Holiday to you and yours.
Your videos are “magic” because they encourage us all to see the beauty and magic of everyday life. I agree that there are things out there beyond the realm of our comprehension, and we should all be open to experiencing the mysteries of other cultures, other languages and other faiths. C.S. Lewis is one of my favourite writers so I love that you quoted him! Enjoy your family time😊.
It worries me how so many people just don't get it. Simple things and moments are the most wonderful and most remembered things in life. Nature, gathering together, good food, laughing, enjoying creativity, a hot tea, solitude, fresh air, so many miracles everyday.
Hi, Paola. It's been months since I started working and I sometimes feel really exhausted. It is in your videos where I also find peace and relaxation. Thank you very much for helping me to be inspired and motivated. 😊 Belated happy birthday and I am happy for every good thing that has happened to you this year 💙
This Christmas...... I am very happy. I am 68 years old and now I am going to be a grandmother. My grandson Eduardo will arrive at the beginning of March. This Christmas is already special for me and our family. Thank you for sharing so many beautiful pictures...... MERRY CHRISTMAS dear!
Seeing that you’ve posted another video is like finding a sweet gift from an old friend. Something to be slowly unwrapped and savored; each so calming and reflective. Between the scenery, music and your calming tone of voice, you always help me to genuinely relax and settle down from the stress of life. Thank you 🙏🏻
I am so happy I found your channel. The quietness....the beauty of the world around you...your lovely voice....all heals my Soul. Thank you so much for sharing.
I completely understand the feeling of longing for a time or place not experienced in reality. I feel that way about a home of my own, a little nest of safety that protects us from the harsh world beyond. I've been yearning for this place for 43 years, and I am hopeful that this is the year when it will become a reality at last. And thanks for mentioning Yule! Our family has a Scottish and Scandinavian ancestry, so we celebrate Yule. It has much of the merriment and charm of Christmas, though I love that it, like the other pagan holidays, centers us fully in the magic of the seasons and the natural world. Brightest blessings to you!
Oh Paola the house of your parents looks magical! The combination of wood and the colourful windows is so beautiful, I felt at home just watching it through the video
Hello! I am one of your avid subscriber who lives in the tropics. I am always in awe watching your videos and listening to your soothing stories. I say you are excellent in your field whether sketching your beautiful pieces and creating magical things with your hands. You have an enviable life. Watching your videos transports me to another place of wonder and tranquility. You have such wisdom. Stay happy, warm and just being YOU. God bless💕
anemoia....this is my everyday. I feel like I was born at the wrong time most days. I agree with you about what you learned about the English language. Since I speak Italian and French fluently, I often feel like I can't find a good equivalent word in English for a certain feeling or nuance. In any case, loved the video. Reminded me to love the little things. That is where the beauty is...to breath is to grateful and to be in the presence of something awesome, our own ability to be. Thank you.
In this video as we watch the magnificent beauty of nature and Gods creation, while you draw pictures of its beauty, you create more beauty relating to the english vocabulary of often unspoken words left hidden in our hearts. The artistic nature of it all combined while your pet dog chases a quick snowball or piece of wood left on the ground is a winter wonderland of artistic perfection. Thank you for your artistry.
I always celebrate the Longest Night. I tend to celebrate by lighting candles and having a simple Soup, Bread and Cheese and later a cup of tea while reading or watching the tree lights. It is a night of reflection
It's going to be winter here in Canada very soon, and it's very soothing to watch your video in preparation for a season I'm dubious about. As an artist it reminds me that it's actually one of the best seasons for staying home and making art. Thank you, Paola, for helping me to remember who I am and that it's okay to be a gentle and sensitive person in this world.
I love watching your videos at night when I am curled up ready for bed. I find them to be so calming and beautifully edited! The soft music in the background is so relaxing and lovely. I am so glad your sister will be coming home for the Holidays! All 4 of my children will be together this year too and they are so excited to all be together!! Like your family, we will be playing games, and eating delicious holiday treats as well. So glad to see your amazing art work, and I am anxious to hear more about this book of art you are compiling! I hope you and your fiance and family have a Wonderful Christmas!! Sending you lots of love and blessings!
Thank you for acknowledging that not everyone finds this time of year easy. For some of us, it is a time of year that weighs heavily with loss and sorrow. Thank you for seeing us.
what a joyful discovery ❤️ I sit in the heat of the Australian summer watching this, the sensation of warmth on my skin and the hot wind, the cicadas chorus is ever present. I am enjoying this complete juxtaposition of the landscapes on my screen. A summer Christmas is all I have ever known so it is familiar and I love my home country. But I am inspired to experience a snowy Christmas at least a few time in this life .
Total belief in this... it's refreshing to hear it voiced from one so young... I'm nearly 60 and have felt it since childhood, that memory of a place, time, world not our own... a place where magic is still readily visible... but could never articulate it until later in life...
Hi, cottage fairy! I resonate with a lot of the content you put out! Just want to say I'm happy and grateful to have found another person that I feel close to in a way of understanding and seing things in a certain way!
I love this 19th century vibe, every shot is so granular, beautifully conceived and filmed. Slows us down in this world so ridiculously fast paced. I can exhale watching these. A public service. And your beautiful dog. Brings such comfort as does your art. I feel like you're Emerson or Thoreau writing from Walden Pond. Thank you.
I have experienced anemoia when I hear Native American wood flute or panflute music. My heart yearns for that time and place, that is not mine, but for which I feel a great tug on my heart strings.🥰
Dear Paola…I quite suspect your videos are a reflection of your sweet personality. Once again, I thank you for the peace and calm that surrounds me while viewing and listening to them. May you and your family experience the light of warmth and magic this season. Blessed be & happy solstice. ❤️
I miss snowy winters so much! I used to live in a country where it gets to -25 degrees celsius in winter, and of course never loved it. I dearly miss these snowy cold winters now, because where I live in England we don't get much snow at all, and temperatures below 0 C at night seem scary. Haha that's nothing in comparison though! :) I remember when it got down to -25C we didn't have to go to primary school, and when it got below -27 C we could skip high school. Those were good times :)
My dear Paulo, now that you’re not here for a while, I play your videos everyday and it’s like meditating for me, you calm my busy thoughts ❤ I hope you enjoy your new chapter as a mother and wish to see you soon ❤
I just love your dog and how happy he is to play in the snow with a frozen stick lol. Hubby and I have always loved using words that most don't even know exist let alone use and they always look so confused. It's really sad to see the extent of the dumbing down that has been going on in our schools in America. One can only hope that all of the hateful teaching will be put to a stop and that they will actually teach kids interesting and useful information. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!!!
Your vlogs give me a peace that I no longer have in my day to day life. My Mamma was killed on September 21st and she was my"true North". We were kindred spirits and I now have no one who truly knows me. Thank you for the peace and for helping me feel close to her.
I remember one time someone told me that I was "not of this world." It was so strange to hear. I simultaneously completely understood what she meant and had no idea what she meant. I felt totally seen by her and completely baffled. If I am not of this world then where am I from? It was like she told there was a place I totally belonged but it wasn't here.
@ Camille Mullins-Lemieux you totally understood what she meant and felt totally seen by her because God meant for us all to feel "not of this world". It was a void He put inside so that we may turn to Him...in John 17:11-15 ESV version Jesus says: And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world...I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.
I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do. You give me a smile when I don't, you calm me when I'm stressed, you rest me when I'm busy with work and most importantly, you give me hope when I'm thinking that the future is empty. You are one of my mentors who guides me towards the path I want to lead, far from the preconceived ideas of society. You are a light, and that, I will never forget. PS : french girl, sorry for the mistakes oupsi x)
It's Winter Solstice 2021...I just "found" you and so thankful that I did. I am 59 and looking forward to starting my new life with more simplicity, less drama, much much less computer time and much more self- love. I am so inspired by you and happy to have another wise woman to listen to when the fear and doubt comes. You are just lovely, inside and out. From one HSP to another, Blessed Yule and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Greetings from Poland! Your channel has just popped up on my YT list and after having watched one "episode" I already know that's exactly what I've been looking for for a long time. Your life, the views, your beautifilul house, all this reminds me of my happy childhood (I'm 42 now😊). I'm gonna go back and watch your previous films. They make me relax after a long day. Stay safe. Kasia
"Reminds me to seek out the light no matter how dark the winter days become." Paola thank you once again for sharing your insight and wisdom. I am recovering from surgery this week and will try to remember to do this even though I am stuck at home. Thankfully I get to be with my parents also. Ps your parents house is beautiful. I love getting to see more of your magical world.
You certainly do have a calming and genteel voice that would transfer wonderfully to an audio as another of your fans have suggested. Might be a project that could expand your horizon in a delightful way knowing others could keep fairy tales etc. to share with little loved ones maybe you could even illustrate as you do an absolutely beautiful depiction of what you are so talented at in artistry generally. I think of you as the peaceful artist of life. Love all your creations and hope your life is filled with bountiful joys in all your endeavors. Bless you and happy belated Birthday.
The Snow Child........I just finished reading it a few days ago and wanted to thank you for recommending it. I loved it!! I immersed myself so deeply into the story that I was sad when I finished it. But a magical tale indeed. On another note, I adore Aiger!! He is always by your side, so loyal, and follows you, just wanting to be wherever you are. My black Lab was exactly the same. A true best friend. How I miss her. Enjoy your winter snow and all the magic it brings. ✨❄️✨❄️✨
Paola, you have the sensibility and intellect of a poet, especially in your opening narratives! You're so incredibly talented on many levels and bring such amazing light to all of us!
So serenely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your exploration of so many unique and compelling customs and traditions. Your artwork and the landscapes in your video melding into one was so satisfying to experience. Thank you again for your insights.
Whoa, I am early. I am just a few seconds into the video and I can already feel how this video beautifully captures the wintry magic of the end of the year in the Northern hemisphere. Thank you for the beauty you share with the world, Paola! I have never skipped an update ever since I subscribed to you💙🌻
How beautiful your parents house is, it seems so peaceful and settled. You are such a sincere and beautiful person. I wish you a very happy Christmas. Your painting are gorgeous.x
Wow, what a moment. When you described the nostalgic feeling of hearing a train whistle in the distance, you instantly invoked a memory deep in me of one of my favourite picture books as a child that I hadn’t thought about in decades. Pa’s Top Hat by Estelle Corney. Far out that was intense. 🚂 Thank you for your beautiful stories and love of language
Your channel is one of my very favorite things to watch. We share so many of the same interests and find joy in the ordinary. Your voice, content and music you choose it so relaxing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your world and bringing joy and contentment to an ordinary day. Bless you.
Your artwork is so beautiful. I'm always in awe of creative individuals and their works of art, whatever their chosen medium. I have always believed that I was born at least 100 years too late. I've always thought that I don't belong here, but back during the Victorian era. I've often said that I have an old soul.
I feel we are soul sisters trapped in this world. I truly relate to this anemoia, you speak of. We are not of this world. Beautifully magical and enchanting music 🦄
I completely agree.....Paola, you bring to mind a young woman of 20 something from 100 years ago, such a beautiful, peaceful old soul. I have always felt as though I was misplaced in time , always watching the 'human race' from the outside. This time of year is very hectic for me, I always seem to get sucked into the 'rabbit hole' of busyness and consumerism and don't like it in the slightest. I need to try to find a way to celebrate Yule instead and invite my family to MY celebration which suits me and my quiet nature so very much more. 🕯🌟
Goodness, that was such a beautiful video Paola, so peaceful and calming. I especially loved it at the end when you acknowledge that the holiday season can be a difficult time for many. That is so true and I think it will help many of your viewers to know that you are aware of this, and thinking of them too. You're a wonderful soul! xxx
The magic of that landscape is awe inspiring ❄️ the words you shared so beautifully capture my emotion when I dream of what heaven must be like. And the words of C.S Lewis so perfectly describe that. I believe God puts endless wonder in each of our hearts ✨
@Kindred River Beautifully said!! ✨ It's so very marvelous to take time to dream of what heaven will be like, isn't it?? The King of Kings will Himself wipe away every tear from His redeemed children's faces and a new forever life will begin!! No more sadness or fear or loneliness or illness or death... All light, all laughter, all peace and joy and beauty beyond compare!! Thanks for getting me thinking and dreaming about that day! ✨
Wintering art reminds me of the snow geese that come to visit in Upstate New York. They are so beautiful. On a winter day, when they are in flight and the sun is shining, their white feathers facing the sun causes them to look like diamonds in the sky. It is such a wonderous sight. I am just in awe of God's beauty when He allows me to see such beauty. Thank you for sgaring. I hope you and your family have a great and treasured Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.
I started reading 'The Snowchild' by Eowyn Ivey because you recommended it and I'm loving it so far! It's so gorgeously written, it makes me smile and tear up. It's just so wonderful.
Dear Paola, I so love your approach to living and life. You bring out the meaning and beauty in the simple and mundane aspects of life. . I love you, eventhough I've not met you. Because you speak from heart . Thank you for sharing your life with me. Much love and Gratitude to you ❤ Molly
I experienced anemoia when I recognized and beheld such magnificent and majestic beauty all around the forest and mountains where I live which was created by the Creator of Heaven and earth. Much love, peace and blessings to you and your family. Feliz Navidad, Paola! 🙏🏻❣️🙏🏻
I wish I could live in such a lovely house, surrounded by this wonderful landscape of wild peaceful nature. And I wish I were as beautiful and talented as you. Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely week.🍃🌻🍃
*what a stunning video this week* ! those drone shots are epic! That word, - nostalgia over a place you have never been before / or have not experienced? .. I guess that's how i felt about your videos and why they hit home immediately. it's like I had always been at your little cottage. I guess growing up watching the landscapes of prince Edward island, in anne of green gables, and little house on the prairie, little women, etc etc so many of my childhood memories are from movies that took place in areas that look like this side of Washington. mountains and lakes and these types of homes, have always lived in my heart. in a way they feel more like home in my heart, than my own home does. It is amazing what can live in the heart.
I believe you have been put on the earth to help people find peace , comfort an hope within themselves and nature.Even in a world that seems void of those very things. Yes, I agree the snow is beautiful, an you are also, THANKS be well, safe am happy .
Its a big thing to share part of who you are with the outside world. Thank you for being there and for giving words to feelings many of us have but dont have the ability or confidence to express.
I wonder if you have ever considered voicing an audiobook. Your voice is wonderful and so calming and easy to listen to! How amazing it would be to listen to you narrate a fairytale!
I was wondering the same. Such a lovely speaking voice.
I stop whatever I’m doing and close my eyes and listen to your soothing voice.
I agree 👍
Great idea!
DP1996 - WOW! I was thinking the same thing. She should definitely.
I'm deployed and your videos give me so much peace. I'm not anywhere dangerous but it is draining constantly being on guard and constantly worrying for and taking care of my men's problems. I can't wait to be home and enjoy a quieter, slower, more peaceful pace and place.
I hope you have found that slower, quieter life you wanted ❤
I’ve finally mastered the appreciation and admiration of somebody else’s life without wishing away my own. Thank you, Paola.
Yes.
So well stated.
Excellent
I love this comment
What a profound comment.
Made me realize that I still have not perfected this....
We are a work in progress still I guess 💕
I wish I could say the same.
We are not made for this world, we are made for our God's perfect greatness, love and eternity❤️ C.S. Lewis described it in such a wonderful way.
C.S. Lewis is one of my top favorite authors!!! 🥰😍
Sane Lelie. Which book of CS LEWIS are u referring? Love him . Ty so much.
@@laraoneal7284 I don't know Paola stated the quote. But Google says its from his book 'mere Christianity'
If we are not made for this world, how come we are here? And we come equipped with lungs and legs and kidneys and all the necessary parts to survive on this planet?
I'm a retired librarian, and also a lover of words and books. I'd like to mention a few books I love:

I love 'The Lost Words'. I bought the book for my grandchildren but I've kept it for myself :) Beautiful illustrations.
Hi Jean :) I saw your book list and I was quite enchanted, so I straightaway ordered both Robert Macfarlane books! Thank you for sharing the names here. I am looking forward to receiving them, a little pre-Christmas gift for myself :)
@@Woolgatherer_R Thank you, Rakhi! I hope you enjoy the books.
I can’t remember which one it is but I have read the one with the owl on the front. It’s beautiful. I will definitely check the rest out.
Haha just looking up your list I realize I have The lost words it’s a beautiful book. I’m definitely going to order the land of stone flowers, that looks beautiful thank you for your recommendations.
I often weep when I watch your videos. This is the life I crave...the one that will bring color and joy back to my life. Your videos tell me that healing is within my grasp, and that everyone deserves peace. Thank you.

Same Here !
Wow, I was journaling about "anemoia" this morning without even realizing it! Thank you for helping me put it into words, as well as sharing that C.S. Lewis quote. I was reflecting on the deep longing I have in my heart, and made the connection of my longings to the garden of Eden. To be arm-in-arm with the Lord, walking through luscious greenery and flowers, feeling the sun and the radiance of God on my face, and enjoying the peace of a world without sin, darkness, and death. We were not made for this world, and maybe, just maybe, that longing deep inside for that nostalgic wonderland that we've never experienced is a longing for the days of Eden that our oldest ancestors experienced, and the glorious days to come? Anyways, I thought it wasn't a coincidence that I had these musings this morning, and that you shared similar ones today too. Thank you for creating a place on the internet where I feel seen and known, and not silly for writing a little journal entry on your RUclips video comments
The rapture!
Because it did exist ! Our memories will soon come back!😊🕊️thanku for sharing🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌹Ur dream and Ur family for sharing the house ,one my favourite videos of yours...the favourite actually....the dream...it's real🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌
Allie , I was looking for a comment like yours. We know that God will fulfill all of our longings. Knowing Him, we can experience some of that now but we also have the hope of His promise of eternity. It's nice to to learn about other beliefs and traditions but always remember as Jesus said, " I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life,no one comes to the Father except by Me". ( John 14:6 - my emphasis). 😊 ~ Heather ~
@@bradrushing5959 as me also 😊😁 the rapture is near...ppl who aren't even Jesus follower have been experiencing rapture like things....🕊️💓.
Iv been wondering why father hasn't spoke to anyone ....
I wonder what he is doing...
@@bradrushing5959 thank you for commenting and sharing.
Thank you for your comment, you articulated my feelings well. When I first saw this C.S. Lewis quote I just KNEW that there was more to life than this little earthly existence. So grateful for the gift of faith, hope, and peace that I have received this year. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! God bless you 🙏🏼 😊 ❤️
I’m going to stop using my phone from tomorrow and before I disconnect myself from this world. I just want to let you know that your videos are therapeutic.I love every single one of them. Thank you for being here and sharing your thoughts with us.
Love your videos.
I just want to say I love this channel. I want this life. I love being quiet and enjoying my books and no drama. I dream of a life where I can wake up, walk through some gardens, cook some healthy meals, read my books in peace and say hello to my neighbors who are living the same way. Quietness and calmness. :)
Hello everyone ❤️ hope you are well * my brother made some new music if you are interested in his work: ruclips.net/video/1w4bBTyZ1Gc/видео.html
*a little correction on this video, the words I mentioned are mostly coined by the dictionary itself, they are not old words, but new ideas. I have not been feeling great this week and my brain is fried, sorry!!!!
*I am working on correcting the Spanish subtitles, they are currently auto translated but will be reviewed ASAP
No need to be sorry ❤️ great to learn the new words and great to see you doing well. Happy holidays!
Take care. 🌱
Paola porque seus vídeos não tem tradução. Queria tanto ler o que vc fala. Eu não falo inglês e tb não entendo. Seus bidios não tem tradução.
I bought his EP the other day, and subscribed to his channel. He is fabulous, too! Your parents must have magic genes!!! :-D
@@katerinahikesalot1644 Aw! He will appreciate that so much! He’s been working hard on his album, I’m very proud of him ❤️ thank you
It’s funny because in French, we have a sentence (not a word) for that nostalgic feeling caused by a smell (or anything else). We call it « La madeleine de Proust » (Proust’s madeleine) because, Marcel Proust in his book called « La recherche du temps perdu » taste a madeleine cake and all his childhood memories are brought back because of the smell and the taste of the cake. It’s now a common saying in French, to refers as Madeleine de Proust an element that bring back memories and nostalgia. I wish you and your family great holidays.
Actually I thought about that as well although I am not French. In English too there’s a word for it… Proustian moment! Actually I’ve had Proustian moments so often even before I came to know there was a word for it and the story behind it! Coincidentally I love Madelines too 😊 I’d love to read À la recherche du temps perdu sometime! In the time I’ve spent knowing and reading about it, I could’ve read a lot of it by now 😂 but well…
Btw, there’s a holiday/festival in India called Deepavali or Diwali around the end of November the festival of lights and it’s something cottage fairy and many of us would love! 🕯️
Your parents' home is lovely!
"A yearning for a reality we innately know yet cannot grasp." "So many mysteries worth considering." ❤❤
Your watercolors are beautiful!"
A yearning for what we know but cannot grasp sounds like heaven. ...eyes have not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9.
The beauty of nature is always heartbreaking to me, and I’m never quite sure why or how to explain it. I also always seem to long for a home that doesn’t exist.... Much love to you
Wonderful video!! We are in the season of Advent right now. This is in anticipation of the coming of Christ the infant. This season is much like lent in that we prepare our hearts ( purify/ repent). Come Lord Jesus- Emmanuel!
"A heartbreaking sort of beauty" is the exact thing I feel every time I watch one of your videos. I often cry when I watch them. I used to not understand why, but you described it perfectly. I cannot put into words how wonderful these videos make me feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤
I agree with your beautiful words... Greetings from Nenne in Sweden
I feel exactly the same way...thank you for verbalizing something I can't seem to explain😢
Just my quarterly acknowledgement of your left handedness because I get happy seeing other lefties 🥰
Hey, so much to say. Beautiful watercolor art! Please don't get burnt out with replies and admin for this channel and then lose your creativity and joy of life because that's why we love you so much. Take care and thank you. Steve ☺️
Paola, your definition of anemoia is the closest to “hiraeth”, a welsh word that defies concise and precise description, that I‘ve ever heard! I love that you have found this connection between cultures!
I was just going to make this very comment when I saw yours! So happy to have fellow word lovers here.
She read it from the book she found in her parents home.
I got it from my a Welsh friend. It's a difficult word to translate.
@@bethc249 I‘m Welsh! That’s why I got so excited I think!
I usually hear your voice to have a relaxing day, before go to bed and my motivation to start a very relaxing day. Thank you Paolita❤ We love you❤
Your parents house looks so cozy and filled with heart and love. And the snow! Gorgeous! I know of course that it's not a perfect fairytale you or your parents live but you give me so much relaxation and positivity with these beautiful shots, music and thoughts. I could cry because of the happiness I felt during this video. THANK YOU PAOLA. I wish you and your loved ones beautiful, relaxed and blessed Christmas and a happy new year in advance. ❤️ Also a ghost hug from me. I will also stay with my parents for over one week. Looking forward to spend quality time with them. ❤️
Have a lovely time with your family. I hope Father Christmas is good to you. Peace be with you.
I do cry its so beautiful!
I celebrate Christmas, but also St. Lucia Day on December 13, which I may like a little bit more! It's a Scandinavian holiday that celebrates light in the darkest time of the year. The oldest daughter wears a crown of candles on her head and brings a tray of goodies to her family. Jonna Jinton has a couple of gorgeous videos about it!
Eu assisto Joanna Jinton e gosto também da Her 86m2
Happy Birthday Jesus
Jonna and her husband are great artists...with wonderful talents..down
To earth.merry Christmas.
Enjoy your family.joy,peace
And health to yall.
I remember the halo of lights from a Christmas play in school-almost 60 years ago.
@@lisarosebud6404 amen!
I usually celebrate Hanukkah alone. It is usually 8 lovely days of solitude. I hand-roll my own candles for the menorah out of beeswax, and doing so allows me to indulge in contemplation about gratitude and faith. This year, however, my boyfriend was visiting me for two weeks. He is not religious whatsoever - nor Jewish or familiar with its customs - but when he found out he would be here during the entirety of Hanukkah, he was so excited. He bought me 8 presents for each day, a "Hanukkah" candle with a personalized message on its label, and a handwritten card about how happy he is to spend the holiday with me (which, of course, made me cry). I work until very late at night, and I would come home to the menorah all clean and set up, complete with the candles he rolled himself as I taught him. It was such a wonderful, thoughtful way to spend a holiday that I had observed on my own for so long. I am so immensely grateful for him.
Wonderful story. Thank you
Anemoia has taught me to simply live in the moment. Why would I feel nostalgic but desperate to live in a perfect future when I don't make time to appreciate and acknowledge what is truly happening in the moment. Thank you very much Paola. Happy Holiday to you and yours.
Your videos are “magic” because they encourage us all to see the beauty and magic of everyday life. I agree that there are things out there beyond the realm of our comprehension, and we should all be open to experiencing the mysteries of other cultures, other languages and other faiths. C.S. Lewis is one of my favourite writers so I love that you quoted him! Enjoy your family time😊.
It worries me how so many people just don't get it. Simple things and moments are the most wonderful and most remembered things in life. Nature, gathering together, good food, laughing, enjoying creativity, a hot tea, solitude, fresh air, so many miracles everyday.
I totally agree, Jenny
C.S. Lewis is a master...that quote has always soothed my soul
Happy Birthday! Lord Jesus. You fill my heart with peace and joy. Merry Christmas! everyone.
Hi, Paola. It's been months since I started working and I sometimes feel really exhausted. It is in your videos where I also find peace and relaxation. Thank you very much for helping me to be inspired and motivated. 😊 Belated happy birthday and I am happy for every good thing that has happened to you this year 💙
We're u from
Sweet comment.
♥️🙏
I can relate Sandryl.
This Christmas...... I am very happy. I am 68 years old and now I am going to be a grandmother. My grandson Eduardo will arrive at the beginning of March. This Christmas is already special for me and our family. Thank you for sharing so many beautiful pictures...... MERRY CHRISTMAS dear!
Seeing that you’ve posted another video is like finding a sweet gift from an old friend. Something to be slowly unwrapped and savored; each so calming and reflective. Between the scenery, music and your calming tone of voice, you always help me to genuinely relax and settle down from the stress of life. Thank you 🙏🏻
Have fun with your family! I love the softness of your videos. They are so calming and peaceful. You are an Angel. Thank you. 😊 💖😇🎨❄⛄
I am so happy I found your channel. The quietness....the beauty of the world around you...your lovely voice....all heals my Soul. Thank you so much for sharing.
I completely understand the feeling of longing for a time or place not experienced in reality. I feel that way about a home of my own, a little nest of safety that protects us from the harsh world beyond. I've been yearning for this place for 43 years, and I am hopeful that this is the year when it will become a reality at last. And thanks for mentioning Yule! Our family has a Scottish and Scandinavian ancestry, so we celebrate Yule. It has much of the merriment and charm of Christmas, though I love that it, like the other pagan holidays, centers us fully in the magic of the seasons and the natural world. Brightest blessings to you!
Keep doing this darling....your videos are truly healing
You and Your Brother Both Live Beautiful Lives ... It Must Be Wonderful to Just Sit and Listen to the Quiet in such Lovely Surroundings ........
Oh Paola the house of your parents looks magical! The combination of wood and the colourful windows is so beautiful, I felt at home just watching it through the video
Hello! I am one of your avid subscriber who lives in the tropics. I am always in awe watching your videos and listening to your soothing stories. I say you are excellent in your field whether sketching your beautiful pieces and creating magical things with your hands. You have an enviable life. Watching your videos transports me to another place of wonder and tranquility. You have such wisdom. Stay happy, warm and just being YOU. God bless💕
anemoia....this is my everyday. I feel like I was born at the wrong time most days. I agree with you about what you learned about the English language. Since I speak Italian and French fluently, I often feel like I can't find a good equivalent word in English for a certain feeling or nuance. In any case, loved the video. Reminded me to love the little things. That is where the beauty is...to breath is to grateful and to be in the presence of something awesome, our own ability to be. Thank you.
I find this channel so mindful and calming. Thank you cottage fairy! You are beautiful!
In this video as we watch the magnificent beauty of nature and Gods creation, while you draw pictures of its beauty, you create more beauty relating to the english vocabulary of often unspoken words left hidden in our hearts. The artistic nature of it all combined while your pet dog chases a quick snowball or piece of wood left on the ground is a winter wonderland of artistic perfection. Thank you for your artistry.
Your videos bring me so much joy and calm amidst the chaos, thank you for being you!
I always celebrate the Longest Night. I tend to celebrate by lighting candles and having a simple Soup, Bread and Cheese and later a cup of tea while reading or watching the tree lights. It is a night of reflection
Your videos are visual poetry to my soul. Thanks for sharing your beautiful artistic talent to the world. Blessings!
You are beautiful woman. I admire you so much
I like your cabin
It's going to be winter here in Canada very soon, and it's very soothing to watch your video in preparation for a season I'm dubious about. As an artist it reminds me that it's actually one of the best seasons for staying home and making art. Thank you, Paola, for helping me to remember who I am and that it's okay to be a gentle and sensitive person in this world.
I love watching your videos at night when I am curled up ready for bed. I find them to be so calming and beautifully edited! The soft music in the background is so relaxing and lovely. I am so glad your sister will be coming home for the Holidays! All 4 of my children will be together this year too and they are so excited to all be together!! Like your family, we will be playing games, and eating delicious holiday treats as well. So glad to see your amazing art work, and I am anxious to hear more about this book of art you are compiling! I hope you and your fiance and family have a Wonderful Christmas!! Sending you lots of love and blessings!
Those 2 words are things I feel daily and I never knew there were words for my feelings.
Thank you for acknowledging that not everyone finds this time of year easy. For some of us, it is a time of year that weighs heavily with loss and sorrow. Thank you for seeing us.
I love to hear a train in the distance. For some reason, it always gives me comfort. Funny to know there’s a word for that.
what a joyful discovery ❤️
I sit in the heat of the Australian summer watching this, the sensation of warmth on my skin and the hot wind, the cicadas chorus is ever present. I am enjoying this complete juxtaposition of the landscapes on my screen. A summer Christmas is all I have ever known so it is familiar and I love my home country. But I am inspired to experience a snowy Christmas at least a few time in this life .
Total belief in this... it's refreshing to hear it voiced from one so young... I'm nearly 60 and have felt it since childhood, that memory of a place, time, world not our own... a place where magic is still readily visible... but could never articulate it until later in life...
Hi, cottage fairy! I resonate with a lot of the content you put out! Just want to say I'm happy and grateful to have found another person that I feel close to in a way of understanding and seing things in a certain way!
I miss my home and appreciate the tranquility, slower pace, and peaceful environment there.
I love this 19th century vibe, every shot is so granular, beautifully conceived and filmed. Slows us down in this world so ridiculously fast paced. I can exhale watching these. A public service. And your beautiful dog. Brings such comfort as does your art. I feel like you're Emerson or Thoreau writing from Walden Pond. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your time with us. Such beautiful scenery. We love snow. We celebrate Winter/ Solstice
👍☃️❤
I have experienced anemoia when I hear Native American wood flute or panflute music. My heart yearns for that time and place, that is not mine, but for which I feel a great tug on my heart strings.🥰
Thank God for the love and companionship of a good dog. ❤️
Dear Paola…I quite suspect your videos are a reflection of your sweet personality. Once again, I thank you for the peace and calm that surrounds me while viewing and listening to them. May you and your family experience the light of warmth and magic this season. Blessed be & happy solstice. ❤️
Beautiful artwork, I believe a simple life style is very rewarding for a person , mentally an physically 🏔
This piece touched me. Seeing your artwork is warming to my soul. Thank you for all you share.
Your parents home is so cute and cozy! All the homey touches. Enjoy the time with your family.
I miss snowy winters so much! I used to live in a country where it gets to -25 degrees celsius in winter, and of course never loved it. I dearly miss these snowy cold winters now, because where I live in England we don't get much snow at all, and temperatures below 0 C at night seem scary. Haha that's nothing in comparison though! :) I remember when it got down to -25C we didn't have to go to primary school, and when it got below -27 C we could skip high school. Those were good times :)
Take a vacation to somewhere it's going to snow, it should fill you up so much you won't miss it. 😄
My dear Paulo, now that you’re not here for a while, I play your videos everyday and it’s like meditating for me, you calm my busy thoughts ❤ I hope you enjoy your new chapter as a mother and wish to see you soon ❤
I just love your dog and how happy he is to play in the snow with a frozen stick lol. Hubby and I have always loved using words that most don't even know exist let alone use and they always look so confused. It's really sad to see the extent of the dumbing down that has been going on in our schools in America. One can only hope that all of the hateful teaching will be put to a stop and that they will actually teach kids interesting and useful information. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!!!
What hateful teaching?
Your vlogs give me a peace that I no longer have in my day to day life. My Mamma was killed on September 21st and she was my"true North". We were kindred spirits and I now have no one who truly knows me. Thank you for the peace and for helping me feel close to her.
I remember one time someone told me that I was "not of this world." It was so strange to hear. I simultaneously completely understood what she meant and had no idea what she meant. I felt totally seen by her and completely baffled. If I am not of this world then where am I from? It was like she told there was a place I totally belonged but it wasn't here.
Heaven
We belong to Gods kingdom
look into starseeds, it's an idea I find fascinating (and a rabbit hole I often fall down)!
@ Camille Mullins-Lemieux you totally understood what she meant and felt totally seen by her because God meant for us all to feel "not of this world". It was a void He put inside so that we may turn to Him...in John 17:11-15 ESV version Jesus says: And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world...I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.
I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do.
You give me a smile when I don't, you calm me when I'm stressed, you rest me when I'm busy with work and most importantly, you give me hope when I'm thinking that the future is empty.
You are one of my mentors who guides me towards the path I want to lead, far from the preconceived ideas of society.
You are a light, and that, I will never forget.
PS : french girl, sorry for the mistakes oupsi x)
Your drawings are absolutely stunning!!! You could illustrate children’s books. Beautiful 😍 Happy belated birthday 🎂
I've spent the entire day watching/listening to your videos and am so grateful to have found them today ..much love❤
It's Winter Solstice 2021...I just "found" you and so thankful that I did. I am 59 and looking forward to starting my new life with more simplicity, less drama, much much less computer time and much more self- love. I am so inspired by you and happy to have another wise woman to listen to when the fear and doubt comes. You are just lovely, inside and out. From one HSP to another, Blessed Yule and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
HSP?
Oh and Happy Birthday. Now on to have a wonder year ahead! God Bless your momma, and you.
😍🌸🦋🎶☮️❤️🙏🏻💃
Greetings from Poland!
Your channel has just popped up on my YT list and after having watched one "episode" I already know that's exactly what I've been looking for for a long time. Your life, the views, your beautifilul house, all this reminds me of my happy childhood (I'm 42 now😊). I'm gonna go back and watch your previous films. They make me relax after a long day. Stay safe. Kasia
Hej! Pozdrowienia też z Polski :))
I jeszcze ja jestem z Polski :)
I'm glad You're parents have stayed together for all of these years.Nice to hear.
"Reminds me to seek out the light no matter how dark the winter days become." Paola thank you once again for sharing your insight and wisdom. I am recovering from surgery this week and will try to remember to do this even though I am stuck at home. Thankfully I get to be with my parents also. Ps your parents house is beautiful. I love getting to see more of your magical world.
You certainly do have a calming and genteel voice that would transfer wonderfully to an audio as another of your fans have suggested. Might be a project that could expand your horizon in a delightful way knowing others could keep fairy tales etc. to share with little loved ones maybe you could even illustrate as you do an absolutely beautiful depiction of what you are so talented at in artistry generally. I think of you as the peaceful artist of life. Love all your creations and hope your life is filled with bountiful joys in all your endeavors. Bless you and happy belated Birthday.
The Snow Child........I just finished reading it a few days ago and wanted to thank you for recommending it. I loved it!! I immersed myself so deeply into the story that I was sad when I finished it. But a magical tale indeed. On another note, I adore Aiger!! He is always by your side, so loyal, and follows you, just wanting to be wherever you are. My black Lab was exactly the same. A true best friend. How I miss her. Enjoy your winter snow and all the magic it brings. ✨❄️✨❄️✨
Oh my goodness I have a Yellow 💛 lad that way..🥰
I ordered it and I cannot wait to read it ! It makes me even more excited to know that others are enjoying it / enjoyed before me.
Happy holidays
@@CocoKitty19 Winter is the perfect time to read this story. ❄️
What I enjoy about you is your kindness. It is really refreshing.
Paola, you have the sensibility and intellect of a poet, especially in your opening narratives! You're so incredibly talented on many levels and bring such amazing light to all of us!
So serenely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your exploration of so many unique and compelling customs and traditions.
Your artwork and the landscapes in your video melding into one was so satisfying to experience. Thank you again for your insights.
Whoa, I am early. I am just a few seconds into the video and I can already feel how this video beautifully captures the wintry magic of the end of the year in the Northern hemisphere. Thank you for the beauty you share with the world, Paola! I have never skipped an update ever since I subscribed to you💙🌻
Thank you so much ❤️
How beautiful your parents house is, it seems so peaceful and settled. You are such a sincere and beautiful person. I wish you a very happy Christmas. Your painting are gorgeous.x
Wow, what a moment. When you described the nostalgic feeling of hearing a train whistle in the distance, you instantly invoked a memory deep in me of one of my favourite picture books as a child that I hadn’t thought about in decades. Pa’s Top Hat by Estelle Corney. Far out that was intense. 🚂 Thank you for your beautiful stories and love of language
Your channel is one of my very favorite things to watch. We share so many of the same interests and find joy in the ordinary. Your voice, content and music you choose it so relaxing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your world and bringing
joy and contentment to an ordinary day. Bless you.
Your artwork is so beautiful. I'm always in awe of creative individuals and their works of art, whatever their chosen medium. I have always believed that I was born at least 100 years too late. I've always thought that I don't belong here, but back during the Victorian era. I've often said that I have an old soul.
I feel we are soul sisters trapped in this world. I truly relate to this anemoia, you speak of. We are not of this world. Beautifully magical and enchanting music 🦄
I completely agree.....Paola, you bring to mind a young woman of 20 something from 100 years ago, such a beautiful, peaceful old soul. I have always felt as though I was misplaced in time , always watching the 'human race' from the outside. This time of year is very hectic for me, I always seem to get sucked into the 'rabbit hole' of busyness and consumerism and don't like it in the slightest. I need to try to find a way to celebrate Yule instead and invite my family to MY celebration which suits me and my quiet nature so very much more. 🕯🌟
Goodness, that was such a beautiful video Paola, so peaceful and calming. I especially loved it at the end when you acknowledge that the holiday season can be a difficult time for many. That is so true and I think it will help many of your viewers to know that you are aware of this, and thinking of them too. You're a wonderful soul! xxx
Your dog seems giving some kind of good energy. Your right hand. I love imaging that. Maybe is true,maybe not. Thank you.
The magic of that landscape is awe inspiring ❄️ the words you shared so beautifully capture my emotion when I dream of what heaven must be like. And the words of C.S Lewis so perfectly describe that. I believe God puts endless wonder in each of our hearts ✨
@Kindred River
Beautifully said!! ✨ It's so very marvelous to take time to dream of what heaven will be like, isn't it?? The King of Kings will Himself wipe away every tear from His redeemed children's faces and a new forever life will begin!! No more sadness or fear or loneliness or illness or death... All light, all laughter, all peace and joy and beauty beyond compare!! Thanks for getting me thinking and dreaming about that day! ✨
Your light sines so gracefully. TY for these respites of calm and peace.
Wintering art reminds me of the snow geese that come to visit in Upstate New York. They are so beautiful. On a winter day, when they are in flight and the sun is shining, their white feathers facing the sun causes them to look like diamonds in the sky. It is such a wonderous sight. I am just in awe of God's beauty when He allows me to see such beauty. Thank you for sgaring. I hope you and your family have a great and treasured Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.
What a beautiful home your parents own.
I got so exited when you mentioned C.S.Lewis!!
He’s my favorite writer!
I hope you have a blast with your sister and other family members and a peace-filled holiday season.
I started reading 'The Snowchild' by Eowyn Ivey because you recommended it and I'm loving it so far! It's so gorgeously written, it makes me smile and tear up. It's just so wonderful.
agreed! it’s such a stunning book!
Dear Paola, I so love your approach to living and life. You bring out the meaning and beauty in the simple and mundane aspects of life.
. I love you, eventhough I've not met you. Because you speak from heart .
Thank you for sharing your life with me.
Much love and Gratitude to you ❤
Molly
I experienced anemoia when I recognized and beheld such magnificent and majestic beauty all around the forest and mountains where I live which was created by the Creator of Heaven and earth. Much love, peace and blessings to you and your family. Feliz Navidad, Paola! 🙏🏻❣️🙏🏻
I wish I could live in such a lovely house, surrounded by this wonderful landscape of wild peaceful nature. And I wish I were as beautiful and talented as you. Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely week.🍃🌻🍃
*what a stunning video this week* ! those drone shots are epic!
That word, - nostalgia over a place you have never been before / or have not experienced? .. I guess that's how i felt about your videos and why they hit home immediately. it's like I had always been at your little cottage. I guess growing up watching the landscapes of prince Edward island, in anne of green gables, and little house on the prairie, little women, etc etc so many of my childhood memories are from movies that took place in areas that look like this side of Washington. mountains and lakes and these types of homes, have always lived in my heart. in a way they feel more like home in my heart, than my own home does.
It is amazing what can live in the heart.
Beautiful thoughts... THank you for sharing them!! Greetings from Nenne in Sweden
@@nennepanrikefairytaleart4773 hello neighbor ! :) - i'm in denmark
I believe you have been put on the earth to help people find peace , comfort an hope within themselves and nature.Even in a world that seems void of those very things. Yes, I agree the snow is beautiful, an you are also, THANKS be well, safe am happy .
Advance Merry Christmas, Paola🎄🌲⛄
Thank you for this update 😊
Your channel is like a lifeline to me.
Its a big thing to share part of who you are with the outside world. Thank you for being there and for giving words to feelings many of us have but dont have the ability or confidence to express.
