Sarah, I have realised something and that is that you are so beautiful. Inside and out. I have told you a little at times about myself and I am sixty now. Sixty and still struggling to find my creative self. You are so inspirational and deeply calming and gentle on my soul. I truly appreciate how much you love and need nature. Nature is the most healing of spaces. As you learnt about your own needs you worked towards them… paraphrased. You are a remarkable and brilliant artist and person. Thank you for reminding us all to be grateful. I am grateful because beautiful people like you embrace all the specialness of life.
You are so sweet and making me blush! Honestly I never imagined sharing my ‘boring’ life would be interesting to anyone which is why I like to focus on sharing nature. But I realised that many people are on a similar journey of self discovery (regardless of age)
@@sarahinscotland Thank you Sarah. I love being alive, being creative and just finding the wonder of it all and sharing the jjourney with people like you has made it so wonderful. Have a truly blessed day.
I am so happy for your journey! And I am super happy to be (a) part of the journey and (b) a big enabler / supporter for making this journey possible! You are still a huge inspiration for me and a wonderful friend! Never stop reaching for your dreams! And I will be there in case you need a little lift ;)
Such a beautiful spot in the world, thanks for bringing it to us. How magical it is; there is something magical about you as well Sarah. Your transparency is such a gift and believe it or not, your manner and your art, deliver the “whole story” to me whenever I hear you share and when I absorb your art. Great message here. Remember how dark the winter seemed? Now your courtyard shines brightly, but that can’t happen without the darker days of winter. Be well Sarah, enjoy the season.
Thank you Debra! Yes, I am always sooooo surprised by the drastic difference in energy/mood from winter to summer. This summer I’m focusing on being very present and not letting it fly by like usual. I hope this will help sustain my through the winter.
Sarah not your intention but I held back tears of joy with this video because you always bring your heart to your channel and I'm always inspired by your nature spirit nature. Thanks for sharing all the blessings beauty flora fauna sky and earth in your videos 💜
Such a beautiful video, everything is so green and fresh! Here in Texas we've had 100+ degrees day after day, all the green has been burnt to a sad crisp. Your little piece of green nature helps me survive our brutal summers. Thank you so much for sharing all of this!
Now that I am home from my wonderful trip to the highlands tending trees at "Trees for Life" in Dundreggan, I watch your wonderful videos with a bit of familiarity of the landscape and hopes to return. Sarah, I think you would really enjoy an outing to Dundreggan to see for yourself the work being done at "Trees for Life" by employees and volunteers to rewild Scotland. Keep the great videos coming. When I was there I looked for you artwork for sale and hoped to run into you! Haha! I am from upstate NY too,
Hello again! I’m glad to hear your trip was great! Trees for Life is an incredible project! Their new Rewilding Centre looks like it will be amazing. I actually found out their office is in Findhorn, where I just attended a plein air painting event. I’m planning on contacting them to see if they have any need for a volunteer artist to contribute visuals for anything, plus I would like to start a grove and help contribute to the project. Anyways, thank you for bringing it to my attention. It’s exactly the kind of project that excites me.
What a beautiful video. I'd like to add the importance of addressing these subjects! So many people see what they see and forgot the journey and process in the creating! I feel very connected with your words, I too left home at a young age and live in another country. There are many things that come with this! Thankyou for sharing your life, and your authenticity, we need more of this. Nature has the ability to heal and nurture us doesn't it. Xx ❤️
Gorgeous looking views everywhere Sarah. Thanks for sharing this wonderful, fun, & calming video with us. Just what I needed today. Temperatures are 90 degrees Fahrenheit and we’ve been under a severe heat advisory for the past few days and will be all next week in Mississippi.
I'm sorry to be that person but it makes me angry when someone is like "do you know how lucky you are-" like no you've worked your butt off to be where you are. I remember you had a winter vlog talking about the incredible amount of planning and direction you have with your goals and business. Like the success you've had doesn't just fall out of the sky. Yes, there's an ounce of luck in it but 98% of it you've WORKED for. Anyways angry rant over haha. Thank you for sharing your beautiful country! 😊💗 And take good care of yourself, please. 💕
In those moments my first reaction is to feel angry too, because I know how hard I’ve worked. But I try to remember that many people have no idea who I am or what I’ve been through. I think it comes from a place of desire or ignorance, so I try to stay level headed and not respond in a defensive way 😅 plus its the internet…you can only do so much 😆
@@sarahinscotland this is true, haha! People are very quick to jump to conclusions! And you're right- we only see a tiny sliver of your life. It seems like you try to make the most of every day and that's what's important! 😊💕
Working hard doesn't allow anyone to move to Scotland permnently. You have to meet the eligibiity requirements set out by the Westminister government. There have been reporta of some having to leave because they failed to meet temporary visa requirements. Being very wealthy skips the barriers to most. It's extremely expensive too. Maybe there's a grandparent route. No-one should get false hope that hard work can overcome the hurdles though, should they be keen to move here. It works both ways. As a UK citizen/subjcect, I can't even enter the US green card lottery system.
Thank you Becky! I do like visiting a city for a very short time - there is something inspiring about the buildings, shapes, angles and lights! I wish I could handle it for longer. But I have a constant sense of fear when I’m in a city. >_
Loved this, Sarah, and agree with you on nature. I've embraced it all my life, and I find myself lucky to live at a replanted wetlands/prairie where I can walk out my door and view or walk around and paint it or take pictures.
I live in the US and for many reasons reallllly want to leave and hopefully move to the UK (especially Scotland). I'm very similar in needing to be immersed in nature to feel connected to myself and I love seeing all the beauty in your videos! Moving abroad feels intimidating and confusing and overwhelming, but your videos feel so inspiring and can really help me reconnect to the positives and not get bogged down in all the reasons why I shouldn't or why it's so hard. So thank you so much for sharing your life and your thoughts!
I have a lot of friends in US who want to leave, I get it. The thing is every country has it’s issues. Every country has it’s places of chaos and places of serene beauty. It’s important that no matter where you live, you can find a way to connect to what you NEED.
@@sarahinscotland all so true! Yeah I am not so much trying to leave for reasons of politics etc (though it is rough out here) as for other reasons related to weather, money, and a desire to actually follow a lifelong dream of living in the UK. You're right that every place has its challenges and its beauties. No place is perfect, though some places might be more or less perfect for an individual person's needs. I live in an incredibly beautiful place that is magical and flawed and I do my best to enjoy it as much as I can while I'm here.
I've lived in Scotland, Canada (and visited most states in the US) and now Australia so I feel I can provide an informed decision. Scotland is very beautiful (like Canada in miniature). While not poor it has been held back by being part of the UK. The resources such as oil, gas, renewable energy, banking, whisky are all London based as such about 50% of the economies true output is not accounted for. What makes matters worse is that half of the taxes currently raised in Scotland are spent in England so they see the benefit. Scottish independence while bringing long-term benefits will undoubtedly cause major disruption in the short-term. The weather in Scotland is cold and damp frequently. The people are friendly and warm. Universal healthcare is provided to all and is the highest standard of the three countries I've lived (aside from Australian private which is exceptional). Canada is truly stunning, with I find the most friendly and genuine people you'll ever meet. It is located next to the US which has its pros and cons. But mostly benefits! Finding a job is more difficult than the other three (job wise and career wise US is the best). People are educated and informed politically and more cultured than either Scotland (and definitely more than Australians). Americans are diverse very cultured (especially New York/New England area) or uncultured (parts South, Mid-West, and West Coast). Australia large country, sparsely populated. Best of the four for city living with the exception of (Montreal, Canada). Balance of job prospects, cleanliness, salaries, medical treatment (private only which is probably better than US as you won't go bankrupt). All three countries are very safe to live and do not have pockets of urban decay and poverty which is now appallingly bad in US. Australians are loud and brash like Americans but are a bit more uncouth. They have a veneer of friendliness....easy to make friends with but lacking the depth of friendships you'll find in Canadians and Scots. Americans fall somewhere in between. I currently live in Australia, which has sooo much sunshine which imparts colours with almost a super luminosity. Beaches are wonderful. But Australia is in the middle of nowhere....whilst it is a lot more cultured than it once was it is a million miles away from Edinburgh or Montreal. For me Canada and Scotland are on a par for overall best places to live. Close to US and Europe respectively. Culture and safety are paramount for me in a country to live. Australia and America are pretty even....but if I live in US I'd need to find a town or city with low crime.
@@andrewwotherspoona5722 thanks so much for sharing your thoughts/experiences in such detail! I really appreciate it 😊 If you don't mind me asking, what was your experience on the cost of living/housing in the places you lived? Obvs where you are in those countries (whether you're in a city or more rural, etc) will effect that, but I'm curious to hear what your experiences were. Canada has been a consideration, it checks some of my boxes (some even better than other places like Scotland) but others not so much. I live in New England so the eastern part of Canada weather-wise is pretty similar to me (just colder). My ideal weather is mostly rainy, and never super hot or suuuper cold. I'm disabled (not legally but it affects my ability to make money as well as my ability to handle the more intense temperatures, noise, etc) so finding someplace where the cost of living is lower than New England is super important to me. Somewhere quiet with easy access to nature while maintaining at least semi-easy access (aka not hours or days away) to the resources of more populated areas. Finding someplace that meets all those needs and also is a safe enough place to live as an LGBTQ+ person in America (or anywhere) is a tall order. I expect that I'll have to make some compromises, but those are some of the things I'm considering. I also have just always felt intensely drawn to the UK and Scotland in particular my whole life, so moving there at least for a time would be following that curiosity and pull. So it's definitely not just a desire based solely on logical checklists.
@@teatime114 Hi Elli, Based on what you've written I think Scotland is best for you. LGBTQ rights in Canada and Scotland are very similar. But I read that Scotland was considered the best place in Europe for queer rights. Canada aside from British Colombia is very very cold in Winter. Although Summer in parts of Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia are quite warm. BC Is quite expensive for housing which is a disadvantage. Scotland with the exception of Edinburgh is reasonably cheap to buy a property, but salaries are lower, but with very low housing and living expenses actually balance out....particularly compared to Australia where house prices are now so high most ordinary people cannot afford a home (without the help of Bank of mum and dad)!
Sarah, you're such a big inspiration ❤️ I'm in love with your videos, I watch both of your channels and I started taking your Skillshare classes for rocks (they were also a problem for me) and painting in nature. I've learned a ton not only from the painting techniques but also from your approach to life, it feels humbling in a way but with a pinch of magic, it's so beautiful. I'm currently in maternity leave and at a crossroad with my career and I use the time to paint as much as I can, while teaching myself how to film and edit my videos and manage an online shop and it's so overwhelming sometimes. Watching your videos inspires me and I somehow feel I will manage in the end. Thank you so much for that ❤️ P.S. It will be so awesome If you make a photography and/or videography class on Skillshare.
Hi Stephanie that’s wonderful to hear! I’ve heard of a lot of artists who started painting more during mat leave. Have you listened to the Plein Air Podcast? It’s a gold mine, you could look at the portfolio of all of those artists and get endless inspiration
@Sarah in Scotland I actually started listening to the podcast after you recommended it in one of your videos and it's truly inspiring. It really broadens your perspective. I also love the way the interviews are conducted, it feels that I've sat down and I'm drinking tea with all of these amazing artists 😁 Btw I tried painting plein air with goauche and it's quite challenging. So far I've been painting only with oils but they're not the most portable medium, so I decided to try goauche but it's so different 😁 Anyway, thank you once again for all of the inspiration and motivation 🎨
thats a nice little pound in your garden 😀 we didnt grow any veggies this year, glad we didnt since we caught the plague and dont have the energy to garden there are random poppies all over the estate lol prob because we are surrounded by fields. couldnt live in the city unless it was for a job we couldnt say no too.
I love that you repurpose every container for gardening. We live in Near Pittsburgh and summer is a few short months (compared to down south). It way be longer than yours though, lol. We are close to the longest day of the year-summer solstice? And I’m already getting sad the days will start to get shorter. Meanwhile, summers just begun with the schools being out. It seems like a bit of a paradox.
Wow, I didn’t realize it stayed so light. Maybe the latest here would be 930-945. My parents live in Florida part of the year, and their dusk is later than ours in pgh. That really doesn’t make sense!
Watching some UA-camrs who moved out of big cities I wonder if I would be able to live this way. I live in the suburbs of a big city, but there's so much trees around it feels almost like countryside. Yet I struggle because of my noisy neighbours, and the general hustle. What is it with people today, that they can't live without the noise, or music constantly playing in the background (to me it's the same really). What are they running away from? Life is to precious to waste it away like this, atleast for me. And The older I am the more I want to live in the "now", not seek shelter in so many unhealthy things. I'm not judging, it's just that life is so special, so unique, and it's so easy not to see this. But enough about that. I musi say I love your hat Sarah, I can't imagine you without it.
Hi. I'm wondering if I may ask you a question about your emigration process. I feel it could be similar to my situation. I'm a Scottish citizen with Australian husband and we are wanting to move back to Scotland
@@colettelondon8434 the UK has a very specific application process. One of you has to be a UK citizen. That person is the ‘sponsor’. At first I had to apply from outside the US for the fiancé visa. Once I got that I could enter the UK and we got married. Then I had to apply for the spouse visa. I think there are two options for that, a 5 year track or 10 year. I either way, there are multiple renewals during the timeline. You need a ton of proof that you live together, are in a genuine relationship, etc. and prove your sponsor (the UK citizen) meets the financial requirements. I am not a professional and all official information should be taken from the UK government website.
Tripped over this. Subscription notification didn't happen. Glad I did. It's beautiful there.
Appreciate you sharing.
Thanks for sharing Sarah.....

yes sometime bui always dream of something big that doesnt let me appericiate today

Wow, I didn’t realize it stayed so light. Maybe the latest here would be 930-945. My parents live in Florida part of the year, and their dusk is later than ours in pgh. That really doesn’t make sense!
So nice video

How beautiful is Scotland?
Too beautiful to handle sometimes, especially for my artist brain
Watching some UA-camrs who moved out of big cities I wonder if I would be able to live this way. I live in the suburbs of a big city, but there's so much trees around it feels almost like countryside. Yet I struggle because of my noisy neighbours, and the general hustle. What is it with people today, that they can't live without the noise, or music constantly playing in the background (to me it's the same really). What are they running away from? Life is to precious to waste it away like this, atleast for me. And The older I am the more I want to live in the "now", not seek shelter in so many unhealthy things. I'm not judging, it's just that life is so special, so unique, and it's so easy not to see this. But enough about that. I musi say I love your hat Sarah, I can't imagine you without it.
At least you know what you want. Maybe you can find a place that suits you better :)
Hi. I'm wondering if I may ask you a question about your emigration process.
I feel it could be similar to my situation. I'm a Scottish citizen with Australian husband and we are wanting to move back to Scotland
What is your question?
@@sarahinscotland just wondering if you applied from outside Scotland and was it an easy process?
@@colettelondon8434 the UK has a very specific application process. One of you has to be a UK citizen. That person is the ‘sponsor’.
At first I had to apply from outside the US for the fiancé visa. Once I got that I could enter the UK and we got married. Then I had to apply for the spouse visa. I think there are two options for that, a 5 year track or 10 year. I either way, there are multiple renewals during the timeline. You need a ton of proof that you live together, are in a genuine relationship, etc. and prove your sponsor (the UK citizen) meets the financial requirements.
I am not a professional and all official information should be taken from the UK government website.
Also yes it’s me Sarah I just forgot I was logged into my other account
@@SarahBurnsStudio thankyou so much ❤️
