As we age and downsize our home, we are eliminating the things we don’t need or use. Our no-kill animal shelter in town has a market where all the items have been donated. They use the proceeds to operate the shelter. We have been taking things over there. We had a large popcorn popper on a stand that we never use any more. Ron took it over to the Fire Department and asked if they would like to have it. They were so excited! They all came out and thanked him. Now whenever he drives by the station, they always wave to him. We try to donate to shelters and refugees in town. I would rather do that than sell things.
I have been working on simplifying my life, most recently through decluttering and I no longer get on IG or FB 😊 I've also been reading a lot more as a result!
My clothes and my closet is where I choose to keep it complicated! I wander in, grab what speaks to me, and put together a totally new and unique outfit. It keeps my creativity flowing, and I love the surprising things I come up with.
same here! it's my hobby and my joy to do that very same thing. i do find that having too many options can sometimes be paralyzing, so i am trying to pare down some older garments in order to create new energy and room for growth
I love that you are not following the crowd even in minimalism. Having your clothes be your area of creativity is fascinating!!
I have had the energy and inspiration lately to do deep cleans of the areas of my house that i usually clean superficially. A couple of weeks ago i cleaned out the walk out basement stairs. Today cleaned my pantry and dumped outdated food, and shredded paper into the compost. These purges of clutter and stuff that does not "spark joy" are ways i simplify my life in response to the world craziness around me.
One area that I refuse to simplify is in spices and herbs - I love to cook and it makes me really happy to have a big "library" of herbs and spices in my kitchen and growing on my back porch available to play around with to create something that I really love and am happy with.
I particularly appreciate today's thoughts from you. You inspire me. Also a favorite food from childhood comes from my Lebanese grandfather: slice leftover potatoes, arrange attractively on plate, drizzle olive oil, salt and black pepper. It's exquisite. Think I'll go make some leftover potatoes 😊.
Oh, this dish sounds so delicious! 😍 Thank you for your kind words, dear Elizabeth 💙
Ana. I have been meaning to write since your video on Slowing Down. This video about Simplicity seems, at least to me, to relate to the one on slowing down. Since I retired, in the summer of 2020, I have been taking gradual steps to slow down more and more all the time. Over the past four or five months I have taken the slowing down to a new level. I no longer rush to get out of bed when I wake up. Some days I wake as early as 5:00 AM and other days I sleep in to 7:00 AM. It is such a joy to be in that space of gentleness with myself. Slowing down also seems to assist me in living life in simpler ways. I still do a lot around the house and garden, but I only do what my "Inner Compass", as you call it (or where Life leads me, as I see it), or the next thing that seems like it needs doing. That can include working in the garden, repairing something around the house, fixing a meal, or sitting and reading a book.
The whole simplicity thing is a bit challenging to explain, but I like to think of it as not "stressing out" about life; not letting outside influences direct my inner wisdom and truth. As always I enjoy your ability to ponder some of these issues. They help me reexamine my own journey. Peace to you and Brian.
I think it's absolutely wonderful that creative people can make a living on RUclips and other creative platforms! These methods have their glitches and their challenges, but they are such an amazing opportunity for helping people share their uniqueness and reach others. It's wonderful to see you thrive, Ana! As an artist, the next thing I have to do is get my photos out of my old computer and into my new one. I waited way too long to get a new computer, and where I live, we have no computer people, so we have to drive for miles! Your videos are always so inspiring and interesting! Continued blessings in your life! 🌺🌼💜
Dear Anna, that s what I needed to hear today. How to live when you live lin crazy moments.😢 I couldnr even sleep yesterday because of certain people who did and said terrible things. I start to avoid people and chose nature and a passion for something. Like I love my job evnethough its just cleaning offices. But I love it. I d try to start making collages or buy a color book but I am afraid to be dissapointed by my results. I d like to find a new turn in my life...and stop bothering by people that hurt me.
Dear Petra, I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling upset and hurt by other people's words... I'm sending you much love and support 💙🤗 And I encourage you to give collaging a try or do the coloring book - just for yourself, you don't have to prove anything with that, it will be your personal tool and emotional outlet. We're often hesitant to do/make something because we're looking at ourselves through someone else's eyes and judging ourselves well in advance...
Oh my gosh, Ana, I can't WAIT to watch this video. I'm in a similar position, but back and forth between Croatia and the UK where my boyfriend lives. I'm literally leaving for the airport at 2am, but I am going to watch this video with interest when I'm feeling less dysregulated. Lots of love to you, my friend! ❤
My two lessons I have learned are to keep it simple and to be my own best friend. For me, that means trying to keep my life choices uncomplicated. When I need to make decisions and options that overwhelm me, I try to narrow it down to three choices and work from there. Also, I try to live simply and slowly as often as I can. I aim to slow down the pace both around me and within me. By becoming my own best friend, I am kinder to myself and trust my judgement. At the very start just to learn to like yourself and to stop the inner thought loop of criticism can be a beginning. Thank you for all your in-sight Ana, which is always so very helpful and thought provoking. Best wishes from Suffolk in England.
These are all such great points you've made! I agree with you, Lottie 💜 Sending love to Suffolk!
Oh, Ana! You have given me such good ideas that I plan to implement, such as getting ready for bed two hours early and just reading. I have simplified my life in so many ways but have never figured out how to get more reading in. Now I can't wait to get ready for bed! Thank you for all your thoughts and efforts. They really hit home.
I hope this reading trick will work, dear Betty! Thank you for your kind presence here, as always 💙

Thank you once again, dear Ana, for a thoughtful and friendly video. Each of your videos seems to have a message for me at just the right time, as I am in the process of needing to transform my life and the way I live. I am faced with uprooting myself very soon (on a smaller scale than you did), and your words are very encouraging to me.
Wishing you all the best with your upcoming changes, dear Amanda 💜
Thank you for share your experiences.I chose to live simply years ago: I downsized my home, my wardrobe,my routines,my expenses, my obligations... I feel simply HAPPY ❤
Thank you for this. I’m moving to another continent in about two months. I’m leaving my home, relationship, and life behind and I’m frankly terrified. Excited yes but as the days count down, I feel my anxiety over it grow. Not only are you comforting in your videos but you are showing me skills that will make my move easier.
Oh, Hannah, I'm wishing you all the best with your upcoming changes! I know how hard it is emotionally, and I'm sending you much love and support 💜
Thank you so much. 💕 all the support I’ve gotten from family, friends, and now you have been so vital for me 💕
Dear Ana, have you ever considered applying to become a tutor with Skillshare teaching collage? You would be wonderful at it and very successful I'm sure, you're such a good mentor and teacher as well as a wonderful artist. It would also expose your art to a large audience.
Hi Judith! I've been thinking about it quite a lot 😊 Need to gather some courage and organize my knowledge and experience, which can be challenging!
Your art work is always wonderful but the collages shown in this video were particularly fantastic! Brava Ana!
You're so kind, Michaela! Thank you, my friend ♥
please continue to give examples of simple meals like you did on this video. it's much appreciated.
It must be unsettling to be in a life so transient. Some people are meant to live a life of constant travel, but some of us feel more comfortable with a permanent nest. It grounds us, and gives us a safe space when the world around us seems always in chaos. Keeping a familiar routine (or diet) does not mean you are inflexible. It means you have found certain things that keep you grounded to your true self. They are necessary for your wellness.
Thank you Ana for yet another thought provoking video. There’s always a sense of calm that comes through your videos. I think it’s very important to honour and to keep in touch with your roots. They form the foundation of our character and when everything around us is chaotic, our roots keep as grounded and steady. Take care dear Ana and keep up the good work. ❤️🌹
I appreciate your kind, supportive words so much, dear Teresa! Thank you💜🌷
Hi Ana, thank you for your video❤you have had so many changes these past years, and I am always, amazed how strong you have been. It can't be easy and yet in your gentle way you manage to give us so much inspiration. I love boiled potatoes and cabbage with caraway seeds. Im sure you must miss home so much. I'm sure you and Brian will find your happy place❤big hug Gale. PS I love your vest, did you knit it? So beautiful. 🙏
Hi Gale! Thank you for your kind, supportive words. Yes, I've recently finished this crochet vest😊
Thank you for your videos, time & thoughts. ☕ 🌼
I normally watch you with my cup of coffee in the morning and it always sets me up for the day. And there is always a message for me that I need on that day. Thank you ❤
Oh, I'm so glad to know my videos make you company in the morning! Thank you for being here, Petra 💙
Thank you Ana. You mean so much to me. I am going thru a difficult time. I find your videos calming and encouraging. I am taking this time of turmoil to look inward and refine myself. I am working on being a minimalist. All except my crafts...they are my life ❤.
I always enjoy your thoughtful videos. ❤ in my life, I'm simplifying all physical and material things to allow me more time to focus on my inner life. ❤
Thank you for your wise words with such calmness. You are a treasure, I love your videos. I wish you peace please 🙏🏻😘
You're so kind, Pamela💜 Thank you!
I love to simplify lots of things to make my house clutter free but can't simplify my books I just love them I keep buying more and more
Thanks again for your insight, Ana. I think that simplifying your life and embracing minimalism has to also be balanced with accepting that some other processes in life (and not the same for everyone) deserve to be complicated. For me, when I am thinking about best step -saving solutions relating to the practical uses of a space, I must consider all implications including options that may not seem initially apparent or helpful. In the end, arriving at a satisfying conclusion is well worth the journey....maybe calling this process brainstorming within my own brain 😊
Hello Ana, this was a good video. It goes to show that once we thought we couldn't live without certain things, once we change, we can live without it. If we can't change things, we have to change our attitude. Greetings from beautiful England, where I'm currently on vacation and best wishes ❤
Well said.
Thank you, dear Anita. Such true words... Enjoy your vacation! 🤗
@@anagoldberg thank you, take care 🙏
@@tshidimokone6595 🙏
Thank you for this video. Also, Iove your vest, its so beautiful!
Thank you, Kali!
Вареная картошечка с капустой это так просто и так вкусно 🥰 у американцев другие вкусовые предпочтения - из того, что вижу в интернете, в основном это что-то, что содержит много сахара или приготовлено во фритюре. Брайан тоже любит такое или это стереотип?:)
P.s. Мне удивительно, как даже в полном хаосе мы можем найти точку опоры в мелочах (говорю за себя). Ана, ко мне ненадолго приехал папа. И я так рада, что наконец то смогла его увидеть и обнять. И пусть моя ситуация все еще не разрешилась, мне правда стало легче, когда кто то из близких рядом. ❤️
Диана, как же я рада, что у тебя получилось провести время с семьей!! Это дает огромный заряд 💜
Про американские предпочтения - не совсем правда)) Ну, по крайней мере, для Брайана. Он очень любит всякие вариации на мексиканские темы, кухню южных штатов, а еще, удивительно, но наши обычные, домашние блюда, например, плов))
Lovely calming and thoughtful video, Ana. Like you, I'm currently having to let go of some of my consumer choices.This is starting to spill out into other areas, and it actually feels good to release longstanding identifications and habits. Best wishes to you and Brian! 💞🌱🌷
Hi Rowanne! Oh, I know, letting go of sticky identifications is soo liberating 😅 Have a beautiful week ahead, my friend!
You’re so good at calming me down ❤ thanks for being such a peaceful person. 😊
Good video! I am, like you, an emigrant. I left my country almost 50 years ago. I have adapted quite well to my new places and adventures. To this date, I still miss certain aspects of my original country, but I have also become critical of many aspects of the country I left behind. My question for you is, would you, under specific circumstances, return to Siberia?
I would love to return to Siberia, but at the moment it's impossible. Many things need to change.
You re simply wonderful, Ana ❤
Nice blouse, nice hair cut
Thank you, dear Ana ❤
What a beautiful shirt you created (I assume it was you, right ?)😊great skills!
Lots of best wishes from Hamburg to you and Brian 🙋♀️
Thank you! Yes, I've made this vest 😊 Best wishes back to Hamburg!
I always learn so much from you, thank you.
I wish I could buy that huge bottle of La Roche sunblock here in the U.S. It’s really good and very expensive here. You look so calm, Ana. I like that you give yourself 2 hours to relax prior to sleep. Your e-reader looks easy on the eyes as well. Enjoy. :-)
You are so kind Anna ❤ and you inspire me to be more authentic, thank you 🙌🥰 sending love from Croatia...❤
Thank you my friend! Love back to Croatia 💜
Great video Ana really enjoyed this video. Really relaxing. Have a great week
Love your videos, I love when we see the city you live in , Best wishes.....
Thank you for your Video🎁⭐🙏💛!
Nice video, Ana, thank you🍀
Dear Ana,
Hvala na zanimljivom videu.❤❤❤
thanks for sharing !!
Lovely. Thank you, Ana.
I would never suggest anyone to move to America.
Hi Ana, this is a great video, thank you! :) Especially, the mentioned intellectual wellbeing is deeply resonating with me, I feel like I need to explore this further
Hi Ana! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video 😊I'm also very much interested in intellectual wellbeing at the moment and feel like it's a pretty much ignored concept outside academia.
@@anagoldbergperhaps ,you could make another video about it?? :)
Love your videos loads and feel really excited when you upload a new one, and it never lets me down. Always thought provoking in a kind way, plus often surprisingly in line with how I am and where I'm at, right now. I'm also a personal care snob for sure and getting, in time, even more unwilling to alter a predefined course of purpose, in this respect. Always looking for something impeccable and beyond clean. Which, aside from being a heavy financia burden, makes me also feel imprisoned in a cage I myself bought. Therefore, your new approach to universally available products sounded liberation to my ears! I've got to ponder a bit on that, thank you! 🙏 ♥
Aww, I'm so glad the video resonated with you, Anna! Of course, not all universally available/mass-market products are as good as I'd love them to be, but in many instances, they are even better than my previous "snobbish" choices, ha 😅
Thank you, Ana, for sharing your thoughts with us. I look forward to the day you open your shop!
Have a wonderful week,
xoxo's Sandie😊
Thank you for your kind words, dear Sandie. You too, have a beautiful week! 💙
Great video Ana! I love your beautiful artwork! You are so lovely and talented! My favorite channel is right here! Thank you! Have a wonderful week!

Hi Ana, really enjoyed hearing your strategies for managing your life in these scary times. As I've said before, you and Brian are facing all this from the belly of the beast, so to speak. I feel deeply for you two and am glad that you are able to continue with your channels. As for bedtime habits, I have a yoga routine that really helps and I enjoy listening to sleep stories from a favorite app. At my age my eyes tire quickly when reading, so I tend to just listen to audio. I recently discovered a new artist, a jazz/blues singer and pianist named Kandace Springs. I'm sending you a link to her rendition of one of the saddest and most beautiful songs I've ever heard. ruclips.net/video/4IEPZKqhyBw/видео.html
Thank you for posting this link. I listened and enjoyed Kandace, too. I have memories of Bonnie Rait singing that song.
Hi Ted! Oh, thank you so much for this suggestion, I will check the link out and will definitely listen to more! Ugh, I also need to practice more yoga before sleep, my ideal routine is twice a day, but I'm not always super diligent with that 😊
Hello Anna😊Forgive me if this question has been asked before, but how is it that you met your husband?
