I’m went back to my old cottage!
I've been following her videos since I moved to the countryside due to my mental issue. And in the midst of the pandemic, all her videos influenced me to recover somehow and appreciate the beauty the world has to offer in simple things around me. Everytime my anxiety attacks, this is my go through channel. Continue to inspire people Paola. ♡♡♡
Beautifully said ; good for you.
So happy for you and your continued growth. Huge hugs💕✨
I do exactly the same thing! When I go to bed at night I watch one of her videos and I am instantly calm enough to board the train that goes into sleepy town .... 🚂 I finally got the funds to order a couple of prints from her Etsy and when they came I felt like I was touching the Hope diamond 💎 ... I have a picture print at my bed,and one in my living room , when I see them I escape the world I live in for a moment and visit Fairy Forest..
I can relate.
Many beautiful stories told here! Thank you!
Our attachment to land is real, and often even more intense than our attachment to people. We grow roots in what’s around us and it grows roots in us. It can feel like a kind of violence to move from our home. That’s what makes being a refugee so hard. They never forget their land. I live among many, and they break my heart when they speak of the land they remember. Anyway, that’s a totally different circumstance, but just to illustrate that place is real in our hearts, and has a face, a personality, a heartbeat, memories of us, our DNA.
A beautiful idea and sentiment beautifully written. Thank you. And my sympathies to all your refugees. Just reading your words broke my heart a little bit.
Well said i wish more people would understand this 😊
@@michellejarvis7878 🌹❤🩹
Wow, your comment makes me think of when Jerusalem fell to the Babylonians, and people were taken to live by the rivers there. They cried and sang songs to God there about their sorrows. They would hang their harps on the branches of the willow trees.
@@natnielsen8472 Wow, on willow trees. Is that where the name weeping willow comes from?
“I’m proud of myself for living here and I’m also proud of myself for knowing when it was time to move on”. ❤️
Never clicked so fast😂 i have to be honest, i miss the old cottage because it holds many memories. But i know the new cottage will create more memorable moments💚 missing Mr. Darcy. I know he's happily hopping in heaven now🥰
I miss the old cottage too! I miss the vistas and the light. I've lived in forests, and currently in a home down in a "holler" as they call it in the south. I like the feeling of shelter and privacy, but sometime in whatever years I have left I want to live higher up, somewhere with a beautiful view of rolling fields and flowers and faraway mountains, or the sea. I did so enjoy that aspect of the older videos, I must admit!
Same..i clicked in seconds 😂😂😂
I couldn't choose between a holler or a mountain either. I live on a mountain now though. My country house sits on a mountain, on a hill on cleared pastures..so it looks and feels like its sitting on top of the world😂 its paradise but I feel exposed. The wind is like no other place. We get a lot of fog too..😍
Her bunny died?? When, why??
I did the same thing
I miss the view at the old cottage, but your new home has a different kind of beauty. I love seeing all things in nature. Sometimes, a spectacular view isn’t always what I prefer to take pictures of. Quite often, it’s a forest path. Thank you for sharing all things beautiful 😊
Your cottage was certainly a beautiful place but your new home is also surrounded by beauty, just different! Both are lovely! The flowers are just gorgeous growing wild! I love that! 🙏🏻❤️😘
Seeing your vintage wallpaper ripped was so hard for my heart 💔
YOU are the magic that makes a house, or cottage, a home. Viewing the few glimpses we've gotten of your new place has me believing your magical touch has already transformed the space to make it your very own. The old place was cute and cozy-looking while you were there but now that you're not it doesn't look that good. This new life really suits you. Embrace it!
Sometimes a plant needs to be rerooted to expand and grow. You are doing that with marriage and a new life.
I'm so glad you are taking plants and some Earth from your original fairy cottage, like a good omen!
@Lucy Corey These replies truly help me, too. Although I officially moved a couple of years ago, I’ve gone back and taken earth from that place for my plant (also from there) now. Seeing the way you put it, Lucy, I will reorient myself, from this time forth, not to look back w/a sad heart at a place & time in my life that was, but rather that I am the center, co-creating with my past a new benevolent life, wherever I go. Ty all.
@@junemacauley6813, 5 years ago I had an emergency move back to my home state to give 24 hr care to my daughter, and help out with 3 ASD kids, as well as caring for my disabled husband. We had to leave everything, and begin from scratch in a very isolated area to rebuild a different life. I have learned to be grateful for the past time in my life, the studio I created to practice massage in, and think of all the artistic things I'd made and left behind as promises that I can make beauty here as well. Birds and wild animals have brought a lot of joy to me here. I wish you the very best!
@@lucycorey9468 That is so touching! Ty for the kind wishes. Your inner strength and flexibility, ability to reorient, redirect your life, is admirable. I plan to keep the Comments & Replies in this section as a touchstone for my current inner development. Best to you; such an unsung pillar in this world, but yes, as you said, it is the good we do & have done that brings the heart peace. Thank you 🙏
Your thoughts & comments at the end (& your willingness to put your feelings into words) will resonate deeply & beautifully with any of us who feel those same feelings and aren’t quite able to sum up how we feel…and, then be at peace with ourselves. Having found your Chanel when you first started it, this is like watching a shy delicate flower starting to bloom… what a gift you are to many who see themselves in you, and others who just enjoy the type of content you have in each video you do 💝
Thank you, your words are so beautiful, and contain great truth! 💕
I loved seeing the cottage again. It wasn't a sad moment, just nostalgic. 💜 I'm so happy for you to be in this new chapter of your life. It does take courage but so worth it.
I'm always so happy, when I see that you uploaded a new video, because you never disappoint, not even once!
I'm still trying to get a handle on adulting at 61. I am proud of your courage and the joy you have found in this lovely life, so far removed from the expectations of the world. May God bless and guide you.
Your little cottage continues to look like a scene from a fairy tale. Blessings to you as you continue this new chapter of your life.
I'm so grateful I came across this channel...it's truly a small piece of Heaven..
I watch your videos and almost always come away with the feeling that I’ve watched something that is, all at the same time, calming and simple and wholesome and beautiful and good. Thank you for all you share.
Paola, what a treasure you are. I spend quite a bit of time simply reading the comments on your videos. You have a special way of drawing people out. Some would call it magical.
Your video was bitter sweet for me. Long ago I moved away and I had a carefully tended rose garden. I asked the purchaser if I could dig out a couple of them to take with me ( she didn’t like roses) but she said no. I realized I had to let it go. I drove by 6 months later and they were all dead. I worked on just sending her love and letting my loss fade away. When you mentioned returning to your cottage I realized that hurt really wasn’t gone because the sadness returned but I looked out the window and my hummingbirds dancing around their feeder reminded me every thing is fine as it is. Sending Love to all.
How disappointing the new purchaser would not let you take some of the roses and then she let them die. One wonders what goes on in the mind of someone like that. I doubt she is a happy person.
@@carolewalker2486 to be honest I found out later she went through a very bitter divorce and the house was sold a year later. My sadness about my roses paled compared to this. If she had been a friend I would have reached out to her. Now I just have forgiven her and remember often to send her love. Things are rarely as they seem
I thought you were quite brave returning to your cottage so soon after your move to your new home 💕 If retrieving some of your plants from the garden weren’t a factor, would you have chosen to venture back? Just curious 🧐 Many if us allow fear and anxiety to dictate our lives. It causes self-imposed limitations but your point of “working with it” is well taken! Loving 🥰 your new home with fond memories of your prior home! You’re a kind and courageous person, Paola! Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing your thoughts and feelings and life with us!
@ R Rhines. What a lovely, meaningful comment 💕
Such a lovely comment
My heart bursts with joy as I hear the meadow and animals sing of your presence! Best birthday (49 June 27th) present EVER!!👩🦽❤️🏠🧚♂️
Happy Birthday Andee!
Best wishes from the
Great Lake State of Michigan 🐢
Wonderful garden and new plantings, summer sweetness before the heat.
The yellow Iris is so beautiful. This year, my mom's neighbor gave her some orange iris bulbs and it was the most incredible color I ever saw... a bright tangerine shade. With her navy blue (almost black) iris and her crimson red peonies, they are my favorite flowers from her garden.
It’s such a unique deja vu experience seeing your cottage again. It’s funny how you become so attached to a place and you start to believe that specific is a part of you. But once you actually move on you realize that place was just wooden walls like any other place and that your presence and and your life is what lit up your home.
It's so nice to see you settling in with your new life and makiing your new home your own. Your old cottage life was your preparation for your new one!
Oh what a beautiful place!! I can see why you loved it there!! Your videos always leave me calm and more creative. Thank you for being you 💕
You're extremely lucky and to be so young. You had a beautiful cottage, your a wonderful artist, you work in a beautiful little bookstore (I wish I could visit) you're wonderfully married now, you make wonderful things besides art, I love Igar (did I spell that right) and Mr. Darcy. (I can't remember what kind of bunny you said he was, I'd like to have another bunny someday), and now you have a book coming out. I do have it on my Amazon list to buy.
I know you've been through a lot to get to where you are, but you are still one of the most lucky people I know. I love nature more than anything and feel more at home there than anywhere and I would love to have a home in the forest with all of the beautiful things you have shown us at your old cottage - forests, water, views, flowers, wildlife. It's the only thing really in this world that gives me peace in my life. It calms all of my mental disorders and suicidal thoughts when I'm in nature.
So this is now too long of a ramble. I look forward to your book! 🌲🌸🍄🍁🍂💕
Lovely to read your comment
Lovely video. I love seeing your gardens from the beginning. It will be so fun seeing it develop over time. I think it's human nature to have some anxiety when trying something new. We all do to some extent. It's that feeling you have just before you jump into a pool, but once you do jump, you feel so good that you are now more sure of yourself and actually excited to do it again. Every new thing you do starts to give you happiness and a sense of accomplishment. Beauty just bursts out of your creativity and imagination and I know this new home and it's gardens will feel like a fairytale as you continue to bring yourself out in it. Thank you for another thoughtful and aesthetically pleasing video😊.
Paola, your honesty and humility about facing your fears was profound. So happy you have embraced change and that you are doing well. May you have many beautiful days ahead. 🥰
I don’t think we can ever go back. I moved out of my family home and every time I was visiting my village I would go and look at it. I was upset by the changes the new owners were making. I’ve now accepted that it is not my home any more. I still have the memories in my heart which are mine to keep forever, and when I pass I think good for them if I see a change. When you said you were moving I thought you’ll never find a home as lovely as your old one, but you have. It’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing another beautiful vlog ❤️
I've begun to read The Lion, The witch and the wardrobe to my daughter. She loves it and asks so many questions, it's exciting to see the story through her eyes.
Change is hard for some of us but look what you have now because of that change. A new home to build new memories in. A sweet husband to crow old with. Your so blessed . I love your videos so much.
I just discovered this beautiful channel yesterday. I cried with joy at the beauty and peace it brought me!
I just picked up "How to Keep House While Drowning", since I really struggle with taking care of myself and my home. It's gentle approach is full of self-kindness that I think you could attest to.
Yes. I agree. I thought the same thing while watching and realized I need to practice patience.
Your videos awaken a part of my soul that forgot to appreciate the beauty in the mundane and as a mama this is greatly appreciated. Thank you for inspiring me💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much for taking us back to your little cottage, it was nice for us to say goodbye too and I have sweet memories of all the videos that you made there in that beautiful place.
Your thoughts and comments about moving helped me greatly. There are for me fears and anxieties.
Next year I have to make the move from the cold southern part of Australia to the more tropical part in the North East. This is a huge journey for me to do on my own and I am so inspired by your words to us. As usual todays video was healing and serene. It is great seeing your new life coming together and you are very inspiring. Thank you so much. Carolyn
I love the little cottage, and the scenery. One day, i hope to live in a place like that, even tho my current home is pretty similar, i love to be alone :) love your videos Paola, thanks for making my day
It was bittersweet seeing your old cottage, but so proud of you expanding your existence and enjoying new experiences. You seem to have went from a meadow to a beautiful woods. The woods, amongst the towering trees, is where my soul finds comfort. You are so fortunate to have experienced both!
Always love your narrative videos as your content always seems to be addressed directly to me and my needs. I’m so thankful for finding your channel and having you in my life.
Hello Lenora how are you doing today?
I can't express how much i love this channel. it's so pure compared to everything else that's going on in the world. sometimes we need to remember the purer thing's in life.
yes yes yes! Ancint-Lucia, that is just how I feel. Thank you for putting it to word. 💐
@@nancyb3315 No worries, my love. ❤️
I‘m always so happy when I see your videos! Thank you!🌿✨🌸
I'm in the middle of making big changes in my life; this all resonates so much. Thank you for putting encouraging words to that process and sharing them!
Paola, your closing comments resonated so loudly with me. I am 57 and currently quite unhappy but bound by my fears of making changes and the risks that imposes. I will be pondering this for some time and being more kind to myself and hopefully moving forward into the future with more confidence. I wish I had your wisdom at such a young age.
the talk at the end really touched me. thank you for sharing that❤️
I love your videos! They’re always so enjoyable & relaxing. Keep up the good work physically and mentally. You’re such an inspiration, especially to the younger generations. My senior advice is to enjoy every single moment because it’s gone in a blink! 💕
You are Way ahead of the Herd just Knowing that " Balance " is a Key to life. And making Balance a Guiding Principle.
I would suggest making God and Christianity a part of that balance.
I've lost a major Relationship of many years because we didn't have a place to go to for understanding in our aging life.
She went to feminism and I buried myself in work.
Though since, I have found Great Friendships and a Great uplifting way of being in my relationship with God.
I Hope you look into Christianity as one of the foundational Building blocks to your new Marriage.
Congratulations on your new life choices and
Best Wishes from Montana M.H
We drove through Winthrop many years ago. I fell in love with it I often think of it. 🌺❤🌺
My daughter has the same schedule, school and then to her room and suffers from anxiety which stops her from living. You explained so well what she needs. I try but I’m mom, thanks for wording so perfectly so I can share with her. Love your page. You are very wise for your years. Thanks for sharing beautiful simpleness.
I think my mother felt the same way when I was in that state ❤️ she knew only I could make a change, and that was hard for her even though she always offered that love and support. It takes so much time to step out of that place of emotional safety and try new things, even going to a therapist can be so scary at first - it’s been years for me and I’m still making progress! Little by little ❤️ sending you both a big hug
Fairyland! I'm so happy to see Valente's work here, it's so lush and fantastical.
Como sua presença ilumina os lugares .Estava também com saudade deste lugar.🌺🌸🍃🌳🌿🌳🏠
I love watching all your videos it calms my restless mind and it helps me cope up with depression and anxiety.
I'm so glad that you didn't allow life to change you or to erase that beautiful and creative place in your soul!
Thanks Paola, for the reflections…they were helpful especially when you talked about facing the unknown, I just lost a job a I loved and although I know my worth and talents and skills, it s so scary and it feels so lonely and uncertain…one day I will want to look back and be proud of me for belonging to myself, but for now…all feels fragile and everything calls for Hope! Thanks for your lovely videos, I wait for them every week as they bring me calm and help me center in myself again.much love
Your new space looks amazing. Enjoy your new life xx
Wow. At the end when you talked about a fear of rejection and failure is definitely me right now. My world is so small, because I’ve made it that way, but not in a good way. I hope I have the courage to step out like you one day.
You can do!❤
Yes people are so critical of others these days and this can make a person feel worthless and insecure of themselves. Hurtful words stick . I think in this world of chasing the almighty dollar and material things is a problem. As one gets older all we seem to want is a peaceful life , no stress and at one with nature.
Love your peaceful and beautiful videos. It is so calming and peaceful to me . Glad you got the chance to go back to the old cottage to see how it is and was for you . Till i see you on the next God bless you and your husband.
So wonderful you had the opportunity to briefly revisit your past. The ability to do that is not always an option for most people. You should be proud of yourself for keeping your life in a good perspective. Realizing your life is moving forward is scary at times but you seem to be in control of the outcome.
May you continue to grow and enjoy the many blessings coming your way
It is always amazing and refreshing to come back here and watch how far you have come. I remember when the channel first started and you were out on your own doing laundry in the snow. It is such a beautiful calming thing to watch you change and thrive in the new space ❤.
I relate to what you shared with us about staying in you're comfort zone and not allowing new people to come into your life I'm going through that now and working on changing that. I appreciate and admire you're transparency. Excited and happy for this new chapter of your life. God Bless you Paola
♥️ ♥️.
Oh how I miss those mountain vistas!
I was privileged to meet and chat with you for a bit and it was such a lovely experience and memory. I feel very grateful for it. That bookstore is our favorite! It’s so cozy~ we never miss an opportunity to go there….Much love and support to you always Paola. ❤️❤️
I REALY ENJOY WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS...THEY MAKE ME RELAX WHEN I'M DOWN...THANKS
This is just what I needed right now. I'm about to take a huge step out of my comfort zone; my life is going to change a lot. I feel pretty uncomfortable just thinking about everything I have to face. But I know it can give me so much and I really want to do it. Thank you.
Your cottage was special not just because of its lovely location, but because it reflected your essence. Your new home is in a different but equally beautiful location and reflects you. It’s lovely!
Hello Michele how are you doing?
I'm writing a novel outside my usual comfort genre, too! It's nearly complete. Maybe one day it'll be on your bookstore shelf, Paola!
Very proud of you for returning to the cottage and I hope you're having a wonderful summer.
Paola…thanks for being a friend. I’ve always found it so difficult to go back and visit the places that have held special memories and the ghosts of people I’ve held close to my heart. My college campus, the summer camp I worked at, the woods behind my parents’ home, my grandmother’s house to name a few. I’ve always felt sad, for the people who made these places special weren’t there anymore. I guess I stopped doing that and decided to visit these places and people in my memory and in my dreams as this often left me feeling the joy rather than a sense of loss. You are right, that moving forward can be scary and bring up a great many fears, however, life is about living and feeling the joy and excitement for new things, adventures, and people…without these, we aren’t truly alive. So thank you my dear friend for being who you are, you are so very lovely and truly appreciated in a world that just seems so incredibly uncertain and off balance. Peace and love to you, Paola.
i just read the boy the mole the fox and the horse it is a very good book thankyou for suggesting me
I am working on bravery too, Paola, by joining several hiking groups in the mountains where I now live. I'm not as skilled as the others, but I'm trying to do my best and improve as I go.
I recently read “The Secret Life of Bees”. Loved it! If you’ve never seen the movie … don’t. Not until you read the book.
Your honesty is so refreshing not to mention relatable.
A good read " The Midnight Library " by Matt Haig. Nice video as always!
Thank you so much for sharing what you've been going through. My daughter and I had similar experience going through double immigration. May God richly bless you, Paola! You are definitely very special and refined lady I'd want as an art teacher for my daughter. Sending you my love and appreciation of all your talents and amazing personality. My daughter is also a very tender young lady.
I stumbled across “The Weight of Ink” by Rachel Kadish when I went exploring in a lovely little bookstore not unlike the one where you work. It was so delicious. My husband is reading it now. I hope you check it out. I think you will enjoy it too. Take care. ❤️
I LOVED that book.
Thanks a lot for nothing. Now I've got another book to add to my stack. 😝
Oh that sounds like a good book!
And look at you now! Married & with 2 adorable pets, close to a million subscribers & a successful Etsy shop! How cool is that?!?
Beautiful thought about returning to a place that is no longer home... I was touched by your thoughts on Fear and that not facing it meant the end of growth and experience. I've always had a multitude of fears and they do freeze me in a place I really am not happy to be even though it seems like that is my choice... Thank you for sharing your push to growth and encouraging me to do the same!
Your beautiful spirit is a bright and shining light for me that helps me to face another day. I loved visiting the old cottage to enjoy the memories that were made there. Your new journey is also so beautiful and peaceful, thank you for broaching fear of the unknown.
As a lifelong Sherlock Holmes fan, I've loved the series' by Laurie R. King, The Beekeepers Apprentice, et al; and the Irene Adler spinoff by Carole Douglas Nelson. I love your calm and soothing videos and often watch them when things get hectic and I need to feel the cool breeze and calm waters. Thank you for your videos.
Just finished watching your video on television, and I have to say I loved it (as usual). The scenery from your cottage was so very stunning, and where you are now is, as well. You have a lot of courage and determination, and get to where you want to be, by taking small steps. Everyone can't move forward in leaps and bounds...I know I sure can't. You are true to yourself, and are becoming more sure of yourself. That's impressive, Paola, as you're still young and at an age where people are still searching to find what you've found. Thank you for sharing your lovely thoughts and videos.
"Where the Crawdads Sing' is a book about a girl living in a marsh and knows of all the wildlife there, and it is so fitting for you! It's a love story, murder mystery (but not scary) and a timeline of a lonely girl in the marsh all at once. I hope you'll check it out!
I just finished this book and loved it.
magical beautiful book. Empowering for young women.
@@patbrougham9929 Yeahhhh it's amazing and so soulful
Your talk at the end about facing your fears really touched me. I’m just crying it’s exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you so much for sharing your journey 💕 and oh my gosh I wish Washington was closer I would love love love to come and meet you at your book signing but this comment will have to do for now. All my love!
I really needed to hear this. I an 64, and have lived like this all my life, living alone since I was in my late 20's. Well, I stepped out of my comfort zone about a year ago, and started dating someone.
Some days I just want to stop dating him, and always stay at home again.
So I really needed to hear this, thank you!
Paola, sua capacidade de auto analise é admirável. Também é admiravel o fato de voce compartilhar seus sentimentos com sinceridade, isso ajuda a voce e a nós qye te lemos. Quando um Ser melhora, ele ajuda muitos a melhorar também. E aqui no Planeta, estamos todos em processo. Juntos.♡
excelente reflexión y estoy totalmente de acuerdo
Que maravilloso fuera todo si los seres humanos fuéramos más compasivo,más naturales
sin frivolidades sin doble moral ni caretas para aparentar ante los demás lo que no somos
es paola tan especial
Claro que sí! ❤
I am in a new stage of my life a huge change and watching and listening to you it helps me thank you my friend I move to another country and it is difficult to adjust
Hello Paola, I'm a big fan of yours. Watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭❤️🥰
It’s not lost when it’s a memory you can look back at with smile.
You seem more spontaneous and happy in this video. Even in the voiceover, you seem to be speaking without a script, and your voice has more of a spark.
In this busy and never resting world, it's so pleasing to watch your videos and enjoy some quiet time 🤍.
Beautiful cottage and environment! Really a fairytale!🌸🌷🧚🏻🌿🌼🌱🌻🪴🌲🌸🌳
As I watched this video I think about the power of your words, story and channel. You are reaching so many at this time in such a powerful way. The story of coming out of your shell and connecting with the world is something I think a lot of us can benefit from. I relate to this cottage core world so much. When I was younger and this was not fashionable but I loved this lifestyle. I'm older now but totally recognize this as a strong inclination in me. There were so many other things to deal with that I couldn't really give myself over to it but what a lovely vision for modern women today to see and know that they, even if they don't have to circumstances to embrace it all, can take elements of this and create their own enchanted story with themselves as the central character. :)
Oh I love those blue flowers at the beginning of the video. I had a huge patch of them but one year I needed to clean up the patch. None of them transplanted well☹️. I know they are wild flowers but would love to plant them again. Does anyone know the name?
They are flax (linum). They do not transplant easily but I have had to move mine. Try transplanting the smallest ones, getting as much of the soil around them as possible to avoid disturbing the roots. They are drought tolerant, but not at first when you transplant them. Pour water into the hole first so that the roots will go down.
They look like flax. I planted mine from seed and here in Utah they have bloomed for nearly four months now!
Thank you both! When I first got them it was a packet of wild flowers. I will check for flax seeds.
You are a true inspiration. Absolutely love the videos and experiences you share with us every now and then. Beautiful shots, and even more stunning landscapes. Thank you a lot for bringing us this natural living experience and inspiring us to live with less distractions in our lives. Sending you love and happy living :)
Old cottage was wonderful but I think the new cottage is too!! It’s the people in it that make it come alive! And animals 💛🌿🌻
This is me too. I am so glad you talked about comfort zone and social anxiety because it was as if you were speaking from my heart. Thank you for this, Paola! ❤️
So glad you recognized the fears you had and met it head on. Bravo!!🧚♀️
Night Circus is such a beautiful, beautiful book! I keep coming back to it and everytime I discover something new and wonderful.
You will never know how much comfort you have given to those of us who struggling. Your honesty is deeply appreciated !
The more of your videos I see, the more I'm amazed how much in common I have with you. Not only your philosophy of life, nature, but also certain events in your life... It's good to know about kindred spirits out there.☺
Stunning video! Flowers and scenic shots are so beautiful.. glad you are feeling well. 🙂
Thank you for this lovely video. Change is always rough but will usually bring what you need to grow. Seeing new events, people, and experience as unwelcome definitely resonate with me and how I’ve lived so far. It’s almost like avoiding mirrors in a way. I felt so comfortable being limited and settled for a life that doesn’t work for me anymore because at least that’s something I can predict. I am less anxious but dread is always overhead. I applaud you for being brave enough to accept change and sharing the experience with us. ❤
What a wonderful insightful communicator you are.
I always find it bittersweet going back to a former home. Like the spirit of the place changes and I always find I have to grieve a bit for it. Lately I have been reading Veronica Speedwell mysteries. She is a lepidopterist in the time of Queen Victoria. So butterflies and murder mysteries lol.
Night Circus is a spectacular book.
