@Danielle Lemay - Sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. Thanks for sharing the comfort that Elrieda's story brings to you. We're sending you hugs and strength. xx
Oh, How I relate to what I've seen. In my mid eighties, I and my dear friend of many years are about to embark on a motor trip across the United States - no schedule, just the pure joy of travel with each other.
That is AMAZING Jane. We're sending you the happiest of wishes for your roadtrip. Enjoy every single moment of the adventure together. You guys sound like a real inspiration! Keep tuned in during your travels - new film of inspiration out every Wednesday to keep you smiling :). Justine xx
@@ReflectionsofLife thats a good one and I like how this woman thanks about life. I also think if I have a bad day, I have a bad day and no one has the right to say otherwise. But what is the thinking behind your Chanel or your Videos?
@Marie Deyo - Thanks for this comment. We wanted to use our skill and passion for filmmaking, to share stories of hope and inspiration... 'ordinary' people sharing some of their experiences and learnings through life... we can all learn from each other, and at the same time celebrate our similarities as well as differences x
All of you people are so beautiful ~Salt of the earth. Thank you Lovely Elrieda for sharing such gems and pearls of wisdom( I believe we are all a bit richer now:) Appreciate all that you are doing Green Renaissance.
Physically do everything at a slower pace. You’ll realise how much you are rushing through life not noticing much. Slowing life down takes practice. Enjoy it and enjoy a more aware life.
@sylvianblue - Absolutely agree! And if you haven't seen it yet, we recently released a short film called 'Slowing Down - if you haven't watched it yet, take a look - I think it will resonate deeply with you. Justine x
Sometimes it's hard for people who have different circumstances for example black people and Native American Indians. Fúthermore refugees running from poverty, inequality,war. Your accent sounds Soúth African it's a beautiful place to live and your cottage is a dream as is it' s s surrounding land ànd those gorgeous cows.... unfortunately too live there for so many, like myself ít ís just a dream 💓💛💚
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you. It was heartfelt because I could really do with a mother like her even though I am in my forties now. I'm sure many could. She seems really lovely. Also, thanks for such a lovely channel. :)
As a 21 years old girl who is looking for her purpose in life, your videos are my inspiration. I only indulge in them, I cannot wait to start living a peaceful life in nature like all your interviewees.
When I feel life becomes tougher, I always go back again to your channel and watch your videos again and again. Thank you for inspiring us and reminding that life is so beautiful.
I cried watching this! As I age, I find that the very JOY of laying on the ground giving thanks is my true medicine! And if I’m sad, I allow my tears to soak into her soil! So Blessed 🙏
I was diagnosed with a grade 3 cancer for the second time in March of this year and I have refused all treatment, although I am on a self healing journey at present. Watching people, like the beautiful soul in this video, gives me the inspiration to 'keep on keeping on'...because if she can overcome in the face of adversity...then so can I :-) xxx
It's a shame we all learn to live at the end, just before we have to leave our body! There are so many things to do, there no time for depression!!! Thank you very much!
But it could happen that also a Depression is there for " a good reason"😉THIS is also Part of life. It depends how someone definition of " to live" is. For me...LIFE and to live it includes ALL. Many THINK living means traveling.....Dancing.....singing......painting.....laughing.........happiness......etc Sadness......fear.....anger.......grief.....etc. also. There is just one difference for me.....do I live consciouss. When I am sad I don't deny this Part of my life right here right now. And it is never the whole book....just a chapter called " my sad days"😉
Reminds me in her words of my mother’s mother from Sweden 🇸🇪 and she was so sweet and alive till she was 100. Love and miss her and she’s always in my 💜 heart.
Thank you for your kind words Terry, glad you enjoyed her message. Have you watched the second video with her? It's called ‘How Are You, Really?’. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Such a a touching message, thank you Ann. We have a second video with Elrieda on our channel, it's called ‘How Are You, Really?’. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you for whoever is behind this channel. I have watched 3 of your videos in a row… this being number 3 and I feel like I have had an awakening. At 35 years old I lay here a sobbing mess… I have just come to the realization how many years I have wasted just existing. Thank you for providing me with such touching videos to lead me to this moment.
WOW, what a deeply moving message. We're glad to hear that you've found our films, and that these messages resonated so deeply within you. We share a new story every two weeks, so keep tuned in for so much more to come. We send you love and warm hugs. Justine and Michael. x
Wonderful to read that this video has so much value for you. There is a second video with Elrieda on our channel, ‘How Are You, Really?’ (ua-cam.com/video/cKu06kdGiC0/v-deo.html). Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a wonderful soul you are and I envy you. In the midst of this pandemic, and well over seventy, I find myself existing, life hurts. This pandemic has taught me that people are selfish, at least in England. It is me,me,me all the time with no thought of care for anyone else. Life hurts. Thank you for this short glimpse of a life well lived and full of hope, made me cry.
@basima zaidan - Elrieda is an incredible woman - a beautiful heart and a great attitude to life. Not all times are easy, and she had her share of difficulties, but continues to shine through it all. Thanks for tuning in to watch each of our weekly films - we're working on so many more, to keep tuned in for so much more in the weeks and months ahead. Justine x
I am so grateful this came upon my recommendations. In the last month and a half, my mom and brother passed, along with watching my childhood home being condemned. No matter the bumps and pits along the way, something beautiful still is with you. YOU. Continue loving yourself through the anger and tears. Love yourself and love your life. Love it as you want to live it. Thank you for this video.
@InnerPhoenix BJW - So sorry to hear about the rough ride of the last few months. Your words of strength and belief in the power of love are an inspiration to us all! BIG LOVE to you x
That's a hurricane in your life ! So sorry though am seeing this after a year . Deeply touched to combined with sense gratitude to Great renaissance to share this for all of us . Hope you are doing better now
Oh What a beautiful Woman and a beautiful soul. She has so much Wisdom to share with others. She is so full of life and so strong! I know I've learned lots from her already! We never know if we're going to be here tomorrow so today is the day to start on anything that is going to bring you all the Joy and Happiness all the smiles in the World. Thanks for sharing! What a beautiful story about her life. God Bless her heart. Thanks for sharing!
I love you and your attitude... I am 66years old and embarking on the next exciting chapter in my life. Moving to a cottage in the country ... some organic gardening and quail. Greetings from Australia X .🦘🦘🦘
@Janet Bransdon - What a great message, and we're sending you love and kind wishes for the new adventures that lie ahead. And keep tuned in here for more inspiration - we've still got so many more stories to share. Justine x
What a beautiful woman: so wise, so much at peace with herself and life 💖 I think when she says, "Be careful to just exist, that's dangerous!" she's telling all of us that if we don't live in the moment, right here, right now, it'll become the past that we will never be able to recover ... I always liked the saying: "Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is the present - that's why it's called a GIFT!"
The reason this video touches us in the deepest core of our hearts is because it is coming from an unconditional loving space from a loving soul. She has no hidden agenda but to give her message of HOPE and LOVE. Thank you for this.
.." so get angry, but get it out..". So well said, and so hard to do. Her voice is so resonant, so sweet, wiping away tears..What a treasure she is. The filming is so beautiful too. Thank you ! 💜🌱💜🌱✨
You are welcome Anjou, we are so glad you enjoyed listening to her. There is a second video with Elrieda, ‘How Are You, Really?’. We hope you like it too. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
This video was very encouraging to me. I am disabled now 8 years and feel as though I have lost all my friends and at times I am alone. But learning many things through this time praise the Lord!
"Just living is not enough....one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower."🌸by Hans Christian Andersen. Blessings to this lovely lady with the lovely silver hair on this heart-warming video🌠
Our pleasure! So happy you liked so many aspects of the video. There is a second video with Elrieda on our channel, ‘How Are You, Really?’ (ua-cam.com/video/cKu06kdGiC0/v-deo.html). We hope it speaks to you as well. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you for watching, we are glad you liked her message. We have a second video with her, ‘How Are You, Really?’. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Elrieda is a special lady - strong yet gentle at the same time! And we're glad that you enjoyed her story. Stay tuned for so much more to come in the weeks and months ahead, with a new film out every Wednesday.
I discovered this channel a few days ago and immediately became a supporter. The wisdom, kindness, love and understanding that flow is the most healing therapy ever. I love the connection to nature and animals: they all have pets, a garden or a creative outlet. Simply wonderful.
Welcome to our channel Leslie, so glad you found us. Thank you too for your support, we appreciate it. We are very happy you enjoy our different videos. There is a second video with Elrieda, ‘How Are You, Really?’. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
' Be careful to Just Exist,it's dangerous ' How powerful this deep phrase on me,how it has effect on my heart and how magically it affect my mind when stuck in in deep depression..Am I really become just Exist? Disappointed answer...I hope I would listen to this delightful film that gives me peace and wisdom, I hope I'd have someone like her💙 in my life, She's a Real Mother❤🌸
This was a great one to watch after yesterday was spent working on a retaining wall garden making us both a bit stiffer than usual this morning! But I am grateful. Only four years ago, I was still very ill, in constant pain, needed help to rise from a chair, and could not walk without assistance. I never knew if I would garden again, much less on a hill! But here I am, and although I am not up to the 8-12 hours working outside that I used to do, I CAN do so much more now than I thought possible. That time of nonnegotiable inaction was very difficult, but there were many many gifts! When all you can do is sit and watch, you see the world differently than when you are focused only on the next task on your list. You learn to see more clearly what is essential and what is not. Is my life richer for getting one more chore done? Or for taking the time to watch bees and butterflies gathering nectar from beautiful flowers? Do I add a moment to my life by getting done faster? Or by taking the time to soak in another sunset? I have a limited number of them; we all do. Why waste any more of them?
@CA Noslo - Powerful comment! Thank you for sharing. And we are so happy to hear that, day by day, you get stronger. Keep the body moving. Sending you much love. x
Thank you for your response to this video. Your comment moved me almost as much as the video itself. Words to live by. Blessings to you. Love and Light. ❤️🙏🏼
I looove this lady. I've lost three important men in my life. My father, my husband, and my son. Each time I did not think I'd ever smile again. But now I do; I recall all their good qualities and the memories we made together; and I smile. Then I say a silence prayer for them and for me.
So sorry to read of your losses dear Angelina. But so special to hear that you are able to smile again - that those precious memories of time spent together, are able to carry you through and bring joy to your heart. We send you love. Justine and Michael 💚
This is beautiful - in all it depicts. The calming setting, the gentleness, yet strength and youthfulness of the lady speaking, her heart-touching message with such great words of wisdom to all. I just want to hug her so and smell the earth and flowers with her. 💖 Thank you 🙏🏻
In Italy some years ago, a lonely older man put an advertisement in a newspaper to ask if anyone had a family without a grandfather, because he hoped to be “adopted”. Family with children but no grandparents approached him, invited him into their circle, and the whole family benefitted. Now, I believe, there are “adopt a granny or grandad” programmed in some countries. But what a brave and wise man he was to make himself vulnerable. To truly love, and to be loved, that is what you must do.
This lady is so beautiful in so many ways. Even the tough experiences in her life made her heart soft and beautiful. God was simply refining her already beautiful soul. Thank you for this film it made me shed tears and smile at the same time. Much love
Everytime I feel ready to give up I come to this channels videos… and they always get me grateful and crying . Thank you all so much for these amazing videos and all the love and wisdom you share ❤
You are most welcome. We are really touched by your message. So glad the videos we share help you when life is not easy. We trust that there will always be the right message for you that encourages you. We have a second video with Elrieda on our channel, it's called ‘How Are You, Really?’ (ua-cam.com/video/cKu06kdGiC0/v-deo.html). Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Reminds me of something I wrote I think I named it all in mind too. Have you ever really used your mind to think about the things most important in life Have you ever tried being less rude more kind All you need to do is open your mind Things you didn't even lose you'll find Things that were in front are now far behind Now you can see no more you're blind ☮️
@Croaghaun71 - Thanks for your beautiful note, and we're glad that you've found our channel and are enjoying the stories. Keep tuned in - we have so much more to still share. Sending you much love from across the seas in South Africa. Justine x
I've just lost someone very dear to me who reminds me so much of her energy and outlook on life. How I wish that I could have had one last conversation with her. She was one of the closest friends I've ever had even though I was almost 7 decades younger than her. I miss her so. I will come back to this video every now and then to remind me of how I should live life. As she would have wanted me to live it. I hope you are in a good place now, Bella.
@June Rubin - We are very sorry to hear of the passing of your dear friend Bella. Dealing with grief and sadness is a difficult journey, and we send you love as you take those steps. We recently shared this short film that I thought I'd just drop here for you when you feel ready to watch - ua-cam.com/video/tB98ldnUcTE/v-deo.html. BIG HUGS x
I feel Divine Intervention led me to the video today. I has such a difficult day yesterday and am working my way back up. Elrieda helped me to rise up again after a hard blow. Thank you, Dear Elrieda. I am grateful.
@@ReflectionsofLife Your response touches my heart and reminds me of the transformative power of outreach, be it by a friend or stranger. Perhaps such a simple act of kindness transmutes a stranger into a friend.
@patjos I do not know your name, where you are in the world, or anything about you, and yet I feel the power of the kindness and compassion in your reply and for this experience, I thank you.
@patjos Dear Friend, I started a new journal this morning. My intention with this journal is to maintain brief thoughts or quotes that express ideas and ways of being that are profoundly important to me. The first words I have written in this journal, came from you: Let us be someone's blessing today." You have been my blessing.
After I suffered a near death accident that I am still healing from, it made me realize how precious every day, every moment is. I am so grateful to have this second chance to share my love with others, and this time around, give the gift of love to myself. God Bless you for sharing this beautiful woman's story with us.
@@charlielanguellholt3877 You are so kind to ask. Our Heavenly Father has my hand and holds me up through my many challenging days. I have the beautiful memory of the precious moments with Jesus that brings me the deepest comfort and fills me beyond belief. Although I will never be independent of the care from my dear and loving husband, I would not change anything because of the experience those precious moments gave and how they have change my life. God Bless and Keep shining your light on others.
Beautiful, lovely lesson! There is a second video with Elrieda on our channel, not sure if you have watched it yet - ‘How Are You, Really?’. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Beautiful I lost my mom at early age.... And Lost of loved one makes ur very weak.... God bless every child and every mom on this earth as its very important ❤❤❤ Thank u
My Grandparents have been gone for many years now and I find myself desperately needing and trying to recall their advice and words of wisdom on life and its challenges. Since I have discovered your channel and videos I have been able to visit with them , and they with me , in a way once again. Thank you for the gift you have given me. Peace and God bless to you.
@Jim Smith - This is incredibly touching Jim. We are glad that you can find a sense of reconnection and resonance here in these stories. BIG HUGS to you x
When I first watched “All in the Mind - Rise above PAIN” I was in awe and admiration - the wisdom, the inner strength of this gracious lady encouraged me in my own distress! I learned that she lived in South Africa! May God bless you and keep you, dear lady!
So wonderful that her message was so helpful, may her words carry you when life is difficult. We have a second video with Elrieda on our channel, it's called ‘How Are You, Really?’ (ua-cam.com/video/cKu06kdGiC0/v-deo.html). Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I feel so fortunate to come across this video really...I am.greatful to get such lovely message from this beautiful lady in the video. I feel peace when I was watching n listening to her 😊 Actually we need such people in our lives in our family too! 💖
@Pallavi S - So glad to hear that Elrieda's story resonated with you. There are many beautiful around us all, every day. That's what we try to show with these films. We've shared over 150 stories so far, so enjoy them all :) And we're working on many more still to share x
"Will I ever be able to laugh again?" That was the same question that I have when my mother passed away. Home feels like empty now without her. But thanks to this video, gives me some realization that " you shouldn't carry baggage with you". That you'll be okay in time and just trust the process. Just go on with your life. I'm sure my mother don't want to see me get stuck on that part of life. I love your channel, hope to see more beautiful content from you 💕
@Psalm's Diary - Sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. But we are glad to hear that Elrieda's story brought you a little bit of comfort. We're working on a follow up story with Elrieda that we'll be sharing in a few weeks time, so keep tuned in x
She said all the things I have reiterated to myself and my friends, and written in my diary for years. To be alive, to live fully and not merely exist, to feel fully, be angry, scream, cry and expand your heart by letting it feel all emotions deeply. To not live life in a box and find magic in the mundane. This video seemed like listening to all my letters to self. :) Thank you for sharing her thoughts. ❤️
my husband just died and I need these videos. I am at peace, but I do intend to morn as long as I need to. I would love to see people of different ethnicity in these films though.
We are sorry to hear about the death of your husband, glad these videos are good for you. There is another one with Elrieda, 'How Are You, Really?'. And we have shared numerous stories from across the rainbow nation of South Africa over the last few months. Maybe you missed them? A few to check out would be: Extraordinary, Truly Wealthy, Richest Man in the World, Let the Sun Rise, What Defines You, Being Grateful. Kind wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
WOWWWW!!! What a GIFT!!! I run a community on Facebook of over 6,300 beautiful humans who live with chronic pain/illness called "Attitude of Gratitude with Chronic Pain." We strive to THRIVE and not stay stuck in our pain and misery. Our message is very much that it's okay to have a pity party once in a while, but we cannot stay stuck there if we want to find joy and fulfillment in our lives. We work to find the beauty and purpose in our lives by incorporating things such as GRATITUDE, mindfulness, intentions, affirmations, connection, acceptance, and other important tools that we find along the way. I am ABSOLUTELY sharing this with them right now because it is incredibly in alignment with our message. Thank you, Green Renaissance! This one hits close to home and is so true!
This is one of the best Channel I've ever come across in my life. I'm sure whoever watch videos like these will have their lives changes for the better from realising things we always overlooked. Life is a journey, and the journey itself is a home too ❤️❤️❤️❤️
LOVE this - 'the journey itself is a home too'. Thanks for sharing these words with us. And so glad that these stories make your heart smile. Justine and Michael 💚
Yes. Angry....crying.....sad......joy.......fun.....fear.......doubts...... I don' t fight it. I let it BE HERE.....I FEEL it....I eat it up! And breathe...breathe.....it moves....breathe.....moves.....like a Wave.....if I don' t Grap it......it moves.
For me us the lost important thing to Trust myself and allow fully what IS HERE ALREADY. No resistance. When I accept then the Situation can change....and offen the Situation does not change but MY PERSPECTTIVE in the Situation.......and gehen I can See more solutions.
@Rick Munday - Then you'll definately want to keep tuned in because we're working on a follow up film with Elrieda that we'll be ready to share in a few weeks time :)
This is beautiful. She is beautiful. Beautiful heart. What's in your heart comes out of your mouth. Get angry, get it out ... get on with it....life. live it. She's happy and contented. Thank You for sharing this lady being real.
time being a construct of the mind, while all about precious moments of joy, fleetingly pass us all by........ opportunities to feel, to be, are always present to those who choose. always remember that this is your life, no one else's. no one gets to tell you how to live it, no one gets to live it for you.........
@@ReflectionsofLife thank you. the back portion (from always remember, down) is from a life discussion with my mother when I was 5, back in 1967. a mantra I've lived my entire life through.......
Wow! This beautiful lady is proof that angels do walk amongst us. I envy you guys for having the opportunity to meet and spend time with these beautiful beautiful souls.
What Wisdom! She is truly a person of the Enlightened Mind. It is so easy and good to listen to her, you will not even suspect that she has experienced the greatest ordeal for Mother - to bury her child.
I am highly appreciate to this channel member,Somthing like this, I always keep searching from long times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart , in few words I can't complete I know, Thank you once again to all the members of this channel, thank you for sharing, thank you Simply it's soo so so so pleasent to watch and listen to many such people around the world...
You are making an impact on other lives, especially during this pandemic! Thank you for these precious treasures of wisdom and genuineness. I am one simple woman who has been touched and encouraged with them!💓
@Plaingirl - Thank you for believing in what we do, for seeing the value in the sharing of these personal stories, for allowing them into your heart. Hugs to you. Justine 💚
Thank you so much! I am so glad this woman is allowing one to feel.....I have been told this whole year to not be angry at what has happened. But we cannot suppress our emotions! We must feel, expel, release and then we move forward. This woman is an inspiration! Thank you God for people like this, real human beings!
The old lady is taking life so nicely, she is having right attitude with all the positivity. Thanks to the lovely lady for showing us right path. I don't know why most of us can't keep ourselves positive and live life like a burden. Thanks for inspiring me.
@Jody Barrass - We're actually busy filming a follow up story with Elrieda at the moment, which we'll be ready to share in a few weeks time - so keep tuned in x
Can't stop watching this stunning film with this amazing woman. The most spirited being I have ever heard. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, you are beautiful 💜❣🙏
You are so welcome, thank you for your kind words and for watching. Glad her words spoke to you. We have a second video with Elrieda on our channel, it's called ‘How Are You, Really?’ (ua-cam.com/video/cKu06kdGiC0/v-deo.html), we hope it resonates with you as well. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Since our adult sons sudden passing in December this kind, wise and sweet lady has helped me, I believe she has always thought of the daughter who passed, the Mother's heart is forever changed. We will always think of our son, had just been with him to celebrate his birthday, the worse hurt ever but my husband and I must carry on, thank you.
Many people are waiting for their life to change. They don't realise that their life is waiting for THEM to change,
@Nemo Nemesis - Absolutely agree. The change lies within 💚

'"Do you see the beauty in life, or do you just exist? Be careful to just exist - that's dangerous'." Made me cry -
This statement she made also struck a chord with me. Sometimes I know Ive just existed. I will remember her and what she’s said.
I am 67 years old. I am renewed by her words with tears in my eyes. Just live!!
I too am 67 and learning from this lady and other videos on this channel.
I don't need to go for therapy... Her words are just enough... Her voice so calming.... What an ageless beauty. ❤️❤️

When I feel life becomes tougher, I always go back again to your channel and watch your videos again and again. Thank you for inspiring us and reminding that life is so beautiful.
@Mayet Abergos - So glad that you are able to find a sense of comfort and peace in the sharing of these stories 💚
Same here
Me too!
Me too......these videos are such a blessing...
Right there with you mate! Green Renaissance is a solace through a tough time.
Nothing superficial in this video .. just depth and beauty
💚
I cried watching this! As I age, I find that the very JOY of laying on the ground giving thanks is my true medicine! And if I’m sad, I allow my tears to soak into her soil! So Blessed 🙏

I was diagnosed with a grade 3 cancer for the second time in March of this year and I have refused all treatment, although I am on a self healing journey at present. Watching people, like the beautiful soul in this video, gives me the inspiration to 'keep on keeping on'...because if she can overcome in the face of adversity...then so can I :-) xxx

God bless yes u can ! Inspiration everywhere in this channel loving it❤💯
It's a shame we all learn to live at the end, just before we have to leave our body!
There are so many things to do, there no time for depression!!! Thank you very much!
Exactly❤
Totally agree with you!
But it could happen that also a Depression is there for " a good reason"😉THIS is also Part of life. It depends how someone definition of " to live" is. For me...LIFE and to live it includes ALL. Many THINK living means traveling.....Dancing.....singing......painting.....laughing.........happiness......etc
Sadness......fear.....anger.......grief.....etc. also. There is just one difference for me.....do I live consciouss. When I am sad I don't deny this Part of my life right here right now. And it is never the whole book....just a chapter called " my sad days"😉
@@beatereich5466 True. No body likes it-but it is a part. Don't run from it-learn from it-and-this to shall pass. Don't panic.
@@Friederike42 We all know whose fault is about most problems of the world nowadays. Just follow the money.
Please do another video of this lady. Many thanks.
Reminds me in her words of my mother’s mother from Sweden 🇸🇪 and she was so sweet and alive till she was 100. Love and miss her and she’s always in my 💜 heart.
💚
"Do you see the beauty in it, or do you just exist?" This lady and her message is beauty in itself!
Thank you for your kind words Terry, glad you enjoyed her message. Have you watched the second video with her? It's called ‘How Are You, Really?’. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Who on earth could dislike such a incredible, moving, beautiful video
Wow... powerful wisdom from such a humble quiet woman - shes wonderful
💚
These people in these videos are priceless; much like all of us are in our true selves. These stories go beyond my ❤️!
Such a a touching message, thank you Ann. We have a second video with Elrieda on our channel, it's called ‘How Are You, Really?’. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you for whoever is behind this channel. I have watched 3 of your videos in a row… this being number 3 and I feel like I have had an awakening. At 35 years old I lay here a sobbing mess… I have just come to the realization how many years I have wasted just existing. Thank you for providing me with such touching videos to lead me to this moment.
WOW, what a deeply moving message. We're glad to hear that you've found our films, and that these messages resonated so deeply within you. We share a new story every two weeks, so keep tuned in for so much more to come. We send you love and warm hugs. Justine and Michael. x
This is one of those short videos that we could/should revisit over and over again, to remind ourselves of letting go.
Wonderful to read that this video has so much value for you.
There is a second video with Elrieda on our channel, ‘How Are You, Really?’ (ua-cam.com/video/cKu06kdGiC0/v-deo.html). Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a wonderful soul you are and I envy you. In the midst of this pandemic, and well over seventy, I find myself existing, life hurts. This pandemic has taught me that people are selfish, at least in England. It is me,me,me all the time with no thought of care for anyone else. Life hurts. Thank you for this short glimpse of a life well lived and full of hope, made me cry.
@ElsieJoy Davis - HUGS to you Elsie. And there is beauty out there, we need to hold the faith x
Un abbraccio( hug)
Where are you from if i may ask?
I watched this video many times and each time it gives me hope. She is a positive beautiful young hearted woman .thank you for all your videos.
@basima zaidan - Elrieda is an incredible woman - a beautiful heart and a great attitude to life. Not all times are easy, and she had her share of difficulties, but continues to shine through it all. Thanks for tuning in to watch each of our weekly films - we're working on so many more, to keep tuned in for so much more in the weeks and months ahead. Justine x
Yesss thank you so much 4 showing 2 all of us dis incredible piece of life I'm wayy beyond grtful I love u
I am so grateful this came upon my recommendations. In the last month and a half, my mom and brother passed, along with watching my childhood home being condemned. No matter the bumps and pits along the way, something beautiful still is with you. YOU. Continue loving yourself through the anger and tears. Love yourself and love your life. Love it as you want to live it.
Thank you for this video.
@InnerPhoenix BJW - So sorry to hear about the rough ride of the last few months. Your words of strength and belief in the power of love are an inspiration to us all! BIG LOVE to you x

What a beautiful woman: so wise, so much at peace with herself and life 💖
I think when she says, "Be careful to just exist, that's dangerous!" she's telling all of us that if we don't live in the moment, right here, right now, it'll become the past that we will never be able to recover ...
I always liked the saying:
"Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is the present - that's why it's called a GIFT!"
@Andrea Mortimer - That is a beautiful saying, thanks for sharing 💚
The reason this video touches us in the deepest core of our hearts is because it is coming from an unconditional loving space from a loving soul. She has no hidden agenda but to give her message of HOPE and LOVE. Thank you for this.
@Debora Bearing - Thank you for recognising and appreciating the beauty of her inner self. 💚

.." so get angry, but get it out..". So well said, and so hard to do. Her voice is so resonant, so sweet, wiping away tears..What a treasure she is. The filming is so beautiful too. Thank you ! 💜🌱💜🌱✨
You are welcome Anjou, we are so glad you enjoyed listening to her. There is a second video with Elrieda, ‘How Are You, Really?’. We hope you like it too. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
She speaks from her heart . ' Face the life square at the face' and 'Be careful not just to exist'. are heart inspiring.
This video was very encouraging to me. I am disabled now 8 years and feel as though I have lost all my friends and at times I am alone. But learning many things through this time praise the Lord!
My thoughts and prayers are with you! ❤️
"Just living is not enough....one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower."🌸by Hans Christian Andersen. Blessings to this lovely lady with the lovely silver hair on this heart-warming video🌠

... and through her eyes - love and life - beaming! She reminds me so much on my own Granny.
I discovered this channel a few days ago and immediately became a supporter. The wisdom, kindness, love and understanding that flow is the most healing therapy ever. I love the connection to nature and animals: they all have pets, a garden or a creative outlet. Simply wonderful.

' Be careful to Just Exist,it's dangerous '
How powerful this deep phrase on me,how it has effect on my heart and how magically it affect my mind when stuck in in deep depression..Am I really become just Exist?
Disappointed answer...I hope I would listen to this delightful film that gives me peace and wisdom, I hope I'd have someone like her💙 in my life, She's a Real Mother❤🌸

Can I visit her? I hope so💙🌻💞
" Dont take your baggage with you,Where will you take it?"....it hits me..
This was a great one to watch after yesterday was spent working on a retaining wall garden making us both a bit stiffer than usual this morning! But I am grateful. Only four years ago, I was still very ill, in constant pain, needed help to rise from a chair, and could not walk without assistance. I never knew if I would garden again, much less on a hill! But here I am, and although I am not up to the 8-12 hours working outside that I used to do, I CAN do so much more now than I thought possible.
That time of nonnegotiable inaction was very difficult, but there were many many gifts!
When all you can do is sit and watch, you see the world differently than when you are focused only on the next task on your list. You learn to see more clearly what is essential and what is not. Is my life richer for getting one more chore done? Or for taking the time to watch bees and butterflies gathering nectar from beautiful flowers? Do I add a moment to my life by getting done faster? Or by taking the time to soak in another sunset? I have a limited number of them; we all do. Why waste any more of them?
@CA Noslo - Powerful comment! Thank you for sharing. And we are so happy to hear that, day by day, you get stronger. Keep the body moving. Sending you much love. x
Thank you for your response to this video. Your comment moved me almost as much as the video itself. Words to live by. Blessings to you. Love and Light. ❤️🙏🏼
I looove this lady. I've lost three important men in my life. My father, my husband, and my son. Each time I did not think I'd ever smile again. But now I do; I recall all their good qualities and the memories we made together; and I smile. Then I say a silence prayer for them and for me.
So sorry to read of your losses dear Angelina. But so special to hear that you are able to smile again - that those precious memories of time spent together, are able to carry you through and bring joy to your heart. We send you love. Justine and Michael 💚
Thank you for recommending. It truly hit home. "Life is not in a box."
It's a pleasure. We are glad her message spoke to you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
This is beautiful - in all it depicts. The calming setting, the gentleness, yet strength and youthfulness of the lady speaking, her heart-touching message with such great words of wisdom to all. I just want to hug her so and smell the earth and flowers with her. 💖 Thank you 🙏🏻
Hello how are you doing 😊
I don't have anyone to give me these talks. I'm happy I found you and others to fill the void. Thank you UA-cam nana😭✝️💚
@@Biblesmakegoodkindling thank you. You're very sweet. I hope this comment finds you well. Wishing you a fantastic day.
In Italy some years ago, a lonely older man put an advertisement in a newspaper to ask if anyone had a family without a grandfather, because he hoped to be “adopted”. Family with children but no grandparents approached him, invited him into their circle, and the whole family benefitted. Now, I believe, there are “adopt a granny or grandad” programmed in some countries. But what a brave and wise man he was to make himself vulnerable. To truly love, and to be loved, that is what you must do.
This lady is so beautiful in so many ways. Even the tough experiences in her life made her heart soft and beautiful. God was simply refining her already beautiful soul. Thank you for this film it made me shed tears and smile at the same time. Much love
💚
Well said. A truly beautiful soul this woman has created.
Everytime I feel ready to give up I come to this channels videos… and they always get me grateful and crying . Thank you all so much for these amazing videos and all the love and wisdom you share ❤
You are most welcome. We are really touched by your message. So glad the videos we share help you when life is not easy. We trust that there will always be the right message for you that encourages you.

Reminds me of something I wrote
I think I named it all in mind too.
Have you ever really used your mind to think about the things most important in life
Have you ever tried being less rude more kind
All you need to do is open your mind
Things you didn't even lose you'll find
Things that were in front are now far behind
Now you can see no more you're blind ☮️
Beautiful words - thanks for sharing them with us.
Thank you

Thank you. Thank you for this wonderful video. 🙏❤️
I've just lost someone very dear to me who reminds me so much of her energy and outlook on life. How I wish that I could have had one last conversation with her. She was one of the closest friends I've ever had even though I was almost 7 decades younger than her. I miss her so. I will come back to this video every now and then to remind me of how I should live life. As she would have wanted me to live it. I hope you are in a good place now, Bella.
@June Rubin - We are very sorry to hear of the passing of your dear friend Bella. Dealing with grief and sadness is a difficult journey, and we send you love as you take those steps. We recently shared this short film that I thought I'd just drop here for you when you feel ready to watch -

@patjos Dear Friend,
I started a new journal this morning. My intention with this journal is to maintain brief thoughts or quotes that express ideas and ways of being that are profoundly important to me. The first words I have written in this journal, came from you: Let us be someone's blessing today."
You have been my blessing.
Just taking the time to sit on my bed and read this twice... what a message thank you!....Earthing is a big part of her life!....❣
Hi how are you doing?
The lady must be very beautiful when she was young. She is still indeed, with cute smile. I like see her calmness and wisdom as well.
After I suffered a near death accident that I am still healing from, it made me realize how precious every day, every moment is. I am so grateful to have this second chance to share my love with others, and this time around, give the gift of love to myself. God Bless you for sharing this beautiful woman's story with us.
Hello how are you doing?
@@charlielanguellholt3877 You are so kind to ask. Our Heavenly Father has my hand and holds me up through my many challenging days.

@Pallavi S - So glad to hear that Elrieda's story resonated with you. There are many beautiful around us all, every day. That's what we try to show with these films. We've shared over 150 stories so far, so enjoy them all :) And we're working on many more still to share x
"Will I ever be able to laugh again?" That was the same question that I have when my mother passed away. Home feels like empty now without her. But thanks to this video, gives me some realization that " you shouldn't carry baggage with you". That you'll be okay in time and just trust the process. Just go on with your life. I'm sure my mother don't want to see me get stuck on that part of life. I love your channel, hope to see more beautiful content from you 💕
@Psalm's Diary - Sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. But we are glad to hear that Elrieda's story brought you a little bit of comfort. We're working on a follow up story with Elrieda that we'll be sharing in a few weeks time, so keep tuned in x
same so sad when my mother passed away last year
She said all the things I have reiterated to myself and my friends, and written in my diary for years. To be alive, to live fully and not merely exist, to feel fully, be angry, scream, cry and expand your heart by letting it feel all emotions deeply. To not live life in a box and find magic in the mundane. This video seemed like listening to all my letters to self. :) Thank you for sharing her thoughts. ❤️
@Amanpreet kaur - So glad that this story found such a deep resonance with your heart. Thank you for taking the time to really appreciate her story x
my husband just died and I need these videos. I am at peace, but I do intend to morn as long as I need to. I would love to see people of different ethnicity in these films though.
We are sorry to hear about the death of your husband, glad these videos are good for you. There is another one with Elrieda, 'How Are You, Really?'. And we have shared numerous stories from across the rainbow nation of South Africa over the last few months. Maybe you missed them? A few to check out would be: Extraordinary, Truly Wealthy, Richest Man in the World, Let the Sun Rise, What Defines You, Being Grateful. Kind wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
WOWWWW!!! What a GIFT!!! I run a community on Facebook of over 6,300 beautiful humans who live with chronic pain/illness called "Attitude of Gratitude with Chronic Pain." We strive to THRIVE and not stay stuck in our pain and misery. Our message is very much that it's okay to have a pity party once in a while, but we cannot stay stuck there if we want to find joy and fulfillment in our lives. We work to find the beauty and purpose in our lives by incorporating things such as GRATITUDE, mindfulness, intentions, affirmations, connection, acceptance, and other important tools that we find along the way. I am ABSOLUTELY sharing this with them right now because it is incredibly in alignment with our message. Thank you, Green Renaissance! This one hits close to home and is so true!
Thank you for seeing the value in her story, and for sharing with your community.
Warm hugs. Justine and Michael 💚
This is one of the best Channel I've ever come across in my life.
I'm sure whoever watch videos like these will have their lives changes for the better from realising things we always overlooked.
Life is a journey, and the journey itself is a home too ❤️❤️❤️❤️
LOVE this - 'the journey itself is a home too'.
Thanks for sharing these words with us. And so glad that these stories make your heart smile.
Justine and Michael 💚
Really beautiful video and very inspiring. "Get angry" is great advise. As "it's ok to not be ok" it's also ok to be angry
Yes. Angry....crying.....sad......joy.......fun.....fear.......doubts......
I don' t fight it. I let it BE HERE.....I FEEL it....I eat it up! And breathe...breathe.....it moves....breathe.....moves.....like a Wave.....if I don' t Grap it......it moves.
For me us the lost important thing to Trust myself and allow fully what IS HERE ALREADY. No resistance. When I accept then the Situation can change....and offen the Situation does not change but MY PERSPECTTIVE in the Situation.......and gehen I can See more solutions.
Society shuns anger and you are out casted when you show anger.
Beautiful in every way! Surviving the pain of losing a child and continuing on in life with enjoyment!!! TFS
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
Is it ok to say that I absolutely adore this woman? Spot on and delivered in such a brilliant way.

Such inspiration from a beautiful soul💞
time being a construct of the mind, while all about precious moments of joy, fleetingly pass us all by........ opportunities to feel, to be, are always present to those who choose. always remember that this is your life, no one else's. no one gets to tell you how to live it, no one gets to live it for you.........
@Long Lost - Beautifully said!
@@ReflectionsofLife thank you. the back portion (from always remember, down) is from a life discussion with my mother when I was 5, back in 1967. a mantra I've lived my entire life through.......
Wow! This beautiful lady is proof that angels do walk amongst us. I envy you guys for having the opportunity to meet and spend time with these beautiful beautiful souls.

What Wisdom! She is truly a person of the Enlightened Mind. It is so easy and good to listen to her, you will not even suspect that she has experienced the greatest ordeal for Mother - to bury her child.

@Carol Norton - Beautiful!
I have always said-Age does not automatically equal wisdom. It takes some examination and courage.
True
Thank you so much! I am so glad this woman is allowing one to feel.....I have been told this whole year to not be angry at what has happened. But we cannot suppress our emotions! We must feel, expel, release and then we move forward. This woman is an inspiration! Thank you God for people like this, real human beings!
We agree she is so inspiring. Don't suppress your emotion.
The old lady is taking life so nicely, she is having right attitude with all the positivity.
Thanks to the lovely lady for showing us right path. I don't know why most of us can't keep ourselves positive and live life like a burden.
Thanks for inspiring me.
