Seeing that look of relief on your face makes all the difference. You were so stressed and now you have a direction and it is full speed ahead. I'm so happy for you and Sophie.
Thanks ☺️!
x1,000!!!! 😊
Great job finding the best spot for you
Thanks 😊
Of course you felt indecisive. Your neighbor pretty much pulled the rug out from under you, In spite of him you're landing on your feet so bravo! Well done. Your parting words to him can be "in a world where you can be anything, be kind". Very happy for you and Sophie.
😁❤️
I belong to a women’s group and our coach said she would make lists with pros and cons, reduce to two choices, then flip a coin. She would assign each choice either heads or tails, but regardless of what came up on the coin flip, her intuition ultimately made the final decision. It is a very interesting concept, and one we clearly need to trust. ☺️
That's an interesting system 😊.
Omg, the RELIEF, having found the options and making a decision. Now, things will (hopefully) start to fall into place for your move as you have a destination. ❤
Thanks ☺️!
So cool hearing your process, Adelina! At the very beginning when you just mentioned the names or locations of each place, as soon as you said "Black Creek" there was something in your voice that made me say "THAT is the one she picked." It is so great that you have had friends to support you and help you look at ways of getting to a good choice for you. Now I can hardly wait to see your video of your new place! Best of luck there, Adelina. You are so organized and willing to do what it takes. I really admire you, and think that you are a person who the authorities should be talking to about how to make tiny home living work!
Thanks Janina ☺️.
Yes ma'am decisions and information overload, if anybody's considering this there is no rushing to any decision. Congratulations
Great news!! Black Creek seems like a good find! I'd be very interested to hear more about the decision process you went through. It's tough to make a good logical AND emotional decision when under such pressure. Wishing you the best at Black Creek!
Thanks 😊

What @oldyellow8120 said! Definitely ditto that!!🤗
Look at that beautiful smile...yes you have found your new home. I wish I were as brave as you. So so happy for you...hugs
Thanks 😁.
So excited that you have found a spot for you, Sophie, and Serendipity! ❤ Excited to see the moving process.
Happy to hear you found a new spot for your home.
Thanks ☺️!
Speaking as a Campbell Riverite, I think you have made a great decision. You have the beauty and peace that is Black Creek, the Oyster River is a lovely river with great swimming holes. Also, you have a docter's office, groceries, gas, liquor and hardware store nearby. Your two closest beaches, Miracle and Saratoga are very beautiful and popular. Close to the Comox airport too, which has direct flights to Calgary, Victoria and beyond. Enjoy.
Wow, thanks. I screenshot that so I'll remember 😁
@@myBIGtinyhouselife great🤗
Congratulations Adelina!😊. Beautiful spot , Safe n secure too. Tucked away, yet enough people sharing the space , Technology can always be improved, Delighted for you , 🙏.
Thanks 😊
Oh I know Sechelt, the Gamma Phi Sorority owned a piece of property just north of town where they ran a summer camp for underprivileged children from Vancouver. I spent many summers first as a counselor then as the camp director. It was a lovely area.
Yay!Yaya!! Congratulations Adelina 🤗
Thanks! 😁
I don't understand what the difference between having a tiny house vs. an RV parked on a lot. Glad to hear that you've found a spot you're happy with.
I am beyond thrilled for you. I felt sick about what happened to you……Here’s to many happy years in the new location 🍾🥂🎉
Thanks 😁.
Indeed. It’s a shame one random neighbor/stranger has the power to complicate/uproot someone’s peaceful, keep-to-themselves life. If Adelina and Sophie had been throwing loud parties 2-3 nights a week, with traffic, trash, fights and drama, okay, she’d be a lousy, annoying neighbor worth dropping a dime on/getting rid of. But that’s not how she is. 🙄
Thanks for sharing your decision making! I’m relieved that you have chosen the right one for you! Blessings to all 🤗💗🇨🇦
Thanks 😁.
Adalina I’m so happy for you you can tell by your expression and in your eyes that you have picked the perfect place for you to enjoy,prosper and grow❤️🙏🥰🌺🐈⬛
Thanks 😊
Glad you found a good spot. It’s nice that you had 5 options. So many say finding a spot is difficult.
It is difficult, I don't want to pretend it's not. And no fun when you're on a deadline 😁. But it can be done.
Congratulations on your decision and having found a new spot for your home! Crossing my fingers for a smooth move!
Thanks 😁.
Fun video congratulations Adelina 🎊
Thanks Gloria! 😊
Congratulations! Terrific news and it's lovely to see you happy and edited!
Thanks 😁.
I am so happy for you that the decision mountain has been summited … for me not knowing where I’m going is so tantalizing. Once I know that it’s full speed ahead! One more of life’s experiences to make you stronger! Onward Super Woman!
Thanks ☺️!
Congratulations! Love your pick...
Yayyyy for options
Looking forward to updates 😀
The kid in me says... awe just show us one picture or view... perty pleaseeee
Have a beautiful evening
😁Thanks! 😁
🎉👏yehhhhh....!!! So Happy for you and with you🤗. Sounds like your looking at an exciting summer 🌞
Yes, exciting and busy 😊.
Fun to see this after I just watched your video from today having already settled!! 😊
Whoo! I knew you could do it, but I'm so happy you found a spot you like! I can't wait to see more of your site.
Thrilled for you Adelina and hope everything is in writing so there is no confusion and very clear. Can’t wait to see the new location! Very exciting!
Thanks 😊
You worked that out beautifully!! So happy that your happy, about your new spot!! 😊
Thanks 😊
Congrats on figuring out your next spot. I know this is a huge relief for you!!
Thanks 😁.
OMG Deliverance movie memories!🫣😳 Yay, I guessed you’d take Black Creek and I’m so thrilled for you and Sophie. You did your due diligence, but in the end listened to your heart! ❤️
LOL! Thanks ☺️
Judy is one smart cookie with her decision matrix. Decisions aren't only made with either the heart or the head, and that's what the matrix helps refine using your criteria. Congratulations on your choice 🙂
Yes she is! Thanks 😁.
Woo hoo! Congratulations! Not a great thing to have to find another property to move your home to, but hey, makes for some great content! 👍🏻 😊
That's true 😊
Adelina We Love Thisssss ❤❤ for You and The fur baby! 💕🌻✨👏🏾✊🏾 we are Looking forward To updates Hun.
😁
So happy for you! I love that there are neighbors close by for safety and if you need to borrow a cup of sugar 😉
😁 thanks!
In so happy that you found a new spot! I’m looking forward to seeing it.❤
Thanks! 😊
I loved your choice from beginning! It's beautiful!
Thanks
Awesome! So happy for you! What a huge weight has been lifted off you. Sometimes the hardest part is that pesky decision. Once it’s made “BOOM” things get a lot clearer and fall into place. Congrats. Hope the move goes well! I’ll keep watching. 😎
Thanks 😁.
Yay!!! I'm so happy you have a new site for Serendipity, Sophie and you!! 🥳🫶💓
Thanks ☺️!
I am Grateful for you, as well 🙏🏻
I hope your current landlord will reimburse you to compensate for your upheaval, as he obviously didn't look into you being there, sufficiently. I'm glad things are working out and there will be reason for this move that will become clear, you look less stressed with a new spot to aim for. xx.
Congratulations on your new upcoming move!! 😍😍
Great video!
I love hearing your process!!!
I would like to hear more about how specifically you do your ‘intentions’ and what else you do, or don’t do, to get those intentions to manifest!
Thanks,
Kari🌞
Thanks Kari, maybe I'll do a video on that.
Great choice. I love Courtney’s, such a pretty area.
I think so too. I'm looking forward to exploring it.
God puts us where we "need" to be. Sometimes it is a "two step" process to get us where he wants us and we don't understand why things happen the way they do. Ultimately though, we end up where we are suppose to be. So Happy for you!
Congratulations on finding a spot for Serendipity that works for you !! I would like to think that the future of Tiny Home living will be more acceptable to society as it is becoming more of a need for affordable housing than every. Since living in US it's very evident that tiny home communities are thought of trailer parks and not very welcomed.
Thanks ☺️!
Oh my gosh… this was so insightful of how you figured out which location to choose. I’m so glad your friends were there to help support you and provide encouragement for you. What a blessing that must have been for you. I can’t wait to follow you I this move as well!!! It’s going to be such a great change for you!! Home is just around the corner for you.
Thanks for taking the time to give us so many details… you are so sweet.
Ok, I guess it’s time for Adelina’s TO DO list!!! You have this process fine tuned so it should be less stressful for you. Hopefully!!!
So happy you have relief and a plan! Can't wait to see it.
Thanks! ☺️
Thank you for sharing, I was worried about you and your current situation, so very happy for you and Sophie. Sending prayers and love🙏❣️
Thanks ☺️!
I’m so happy for you! I spent part of my childhood in Campbell River. Black Creek is a lovely area. You’ll be so close to Miracle Beach, one of my favourite spots. I hope your move goes smoothly.🏡
Thanks! 😁
So happy for you! Can’t wait to see your new spot! Congratulations!
Thanks! 😊
Oh Adelina, finding your new spot is great news! You are so wise to check them all out, weigh up all of the pro’s and con’s and then make your decision. Well done. I still think it’s all meant to be for a reason. Congratulations on your new spot for Serendipity! 😃😺🏠
Your new spot sounds perfect, and just 2 hours away is a plus. Thanks for the update. You and kitty are going to have the best summer ever!!❤
Wow! I'm glad you shared that experience, your process, your numbering, etc. Very smart of you. I have xplorenet, no issues for me in Ontario inside a park, unlimited plan.Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome ☺️
Aaaahhh!! So excited to see you posted this! ....had to write and say before I even watched it! Lol. .....k, now I gotta get back and watch it!! : )
😂😂😂
Sounds like a wonderful pick! Love the system your friends came up with to help decide. And had to laugh how it brought out an immediate reaction to one of them! Happy you have a place to move to.....what a relief that must be! And especially that you're excited about the new place. Loved seeing your choices and the process. Thanks for sharing
Thanks! 😁
So so happy for you, the new place sounds perfect. Was quite a dilemma for you. Yes, I’d love to see a video on how you went about finding locations as you offered to do…thx. Congratulations!
Thanks 😊
Congrats so happy to see that Smile that tells me you are happy. =) Looking forward to seeing your new place. Smiles from the very sunny and Warmer OK Valley.
Thanks 😁
Woo hoo, congratulations and what a great process to go through and come up with a fabulous new spot for yourself. Well done 👏
Thanks 😁.
Excited to be along for the journey! Your new neighbours are lucky to have you!! Really wish there were as many options in Eastern ON.
Thanks.
Congrats on finding a new location for your home.
Thanks 😊
I just found your channel today after watching your video on Exploring Alternatives. I've been seriously thinking about tiny home living for a few years now, and interestingly - yesterday I discovered and connected with the people at Teacup Tiny Homes! I just love your home, and your videos, and..... I live on the Sunshine Coast! Thank you so much for those reviews of potential spots. One of the things that has held me back (besides financing) is the place to put it. I'm going to look into it now. Yes, I would love a video about your search process. I live in a small seasonal rental cabin and have to be out for 2 months each summer, and am really longing for my own place.
That's exciting! Good luck on your search. Let me know how it goes.
Thanks for sharing your update! So thrilled for you!
Thanks 😁
Always,Always listen to your gut feelings! You were smart to really to make sure it met your needs and most important, your peace of mind and safety! I’m looking forward to seeing your new choice and I hope your move is soon and all goes well to get your place all set up.
Thanks ☺️!
So glad you found your new spot!
Thanks! 😁
So happy for you! Wishing you much joy in your new location! 🙏🏼💙💙
Thank you! ☺️
I am very happy for you.
And I wish you all the best my friend. I can’t wait to see your new spot.
Adelina. 🐈❤️
Thanks ☺️!
Oh yay! This is fantastic news! Congratulations! I'm so happy you found a new home that sounds lovely and will be less of a trek than the first move. And I can't wait to virtually explore your new home with you.
And yes! Yes! I would love to see a video on your search and vet process.
Congratulations, so happy you have found a new location, it sounds wonderful!!
Thanks ☺️!
Super happy for you and excited to see your new spot. 😊 hope your move goes smooth.
Thanks 😊
So sorry you are having to relocate but glad something was available to meet all your needs. Don't know how I missed this video. Have a great week.
🤷🏻♀️😁❤️
@@myBIGtinyhouselife I found your post. Beautiful area. Still sorry you are having to move. Just had so many videos and ads that came at the same time. Miss a day and you are overwhelmed.
❤️
I am so happy that the spot has been decided on
Sounds perfect Congratulations!
Thanks 😁.
Congratulations 🥳 🎉🎉
Thanks 😊
Great to hear that you've found a new spot 👍
Thanks! 😊
Sophie adores you its so precious to see 🥰
❤️🐈☺️
It’s really interesting how going through the exercise with your friends helped you hone in on what you actually wanted. I am so happy for you in finding a spot to move to! Thank you for going through your options with us, it was fun to see.
You're welcome ☺️
Congratulations! It takes a lot of thinking to finalize a choice as important as this one!
Yes it does. Thanks ☺️!
So thrilled you made your choice … and are happy about it! Can’t wait to see your new spot and your beautiful tiny home all set up!
Congratulations! 🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks 😁.
What a great and wise process you went through. Good learning for me in my decision making. Great to see you looking so happy and I can’t wait to see more of the new site when the time is right. Great video.
Thanks 😁.
Adelina, I think in one of your early videos you said there are always solutions to a problem. It's a matter of finding the *right* solution. Seeing the big smile on your face while talking about the place you chose speaks volumes about the right solution for you. 😃 My only concern for you is the internet connection for your work. I've seen other UA-camrs talk about Starlink, and it seems the signal is sporadic depending on where you live. I know you will do the research and find the best option. Lastly, congratulations Adelina on finding your new parking spot! I hope you are blessed with a smooth moving experience with no issues. May you be richly blessed. ❤
Love your videos so much. So sorry you have to go thru all this. You’re so brave & courageous. How difficult to make these decisions. Hope this all works out for you. Glad you have these friends to help you. I’m older. No money for tiny house. Will be stuck with apts for life. Know this. Plus & minus to everything. You’re such a lovely person. Deliverance. Woow. Didn’t even want to go out in dark for awhile after that. So I get ya. Just be careful. Seems the worlds getting crazier all the time! 🥰😍
Thanks so much 😊❤️.
I am delighted that you have found a new place for your home. I just relalized that this video was published a month ago, so you may have already moved andfi settled in. About a month ago my computer self-destructed - most likely from old age, but I was lucky to find a Hewlett Packard laptop, with all sorts of capabilities, not only at a good price, but on sale. I'm still getting use to it. The only problem I have is I can't seem to get the hang of the touch pad; so I'll be checking out a new compatible mouse. Any ways, I've missed keeping up with you. You take care, be welll and safe, and may you, your family and friends be surrounded by loving kindness.
Thank you! I'm glad you find a replacement at a good price 😀.
Wow! So much to think about. I am happy for you! Cheers from Calgary.
Thanks ☺️
Very happy for you, Adelina! Also, Sophie will be very happy in her new spot!
So happy for you......Congrats!
Thanks 😁.
Congratulations! I am so happy for you.
Thanks. Me too 😁.
Congratulations!!!🎉🎉🎉I know you and Sophie will be happy there!❤
Thanks ☺️!
Ohhhh I can’t wait to hear this video.
👂 I’m listening!!!
And WJ adds bigger planes in summer here at YQQ. That easy direct flight will be a great connection to your family. And an easy airport to fly in / out of.
And the Salmon restaurant makes for a lovely destination after a sunset walk along the ocean from river.👌😍 Welcome to the valley. Keep Coastal black’s events in mind for when grandkids visit. And black creek CC holds some neat events. Kitty Coleman festival May long is lovely as is Filberg festival Aug long. If you are into choirs you have landed into choral central.
Wow, so much to look forward to 😁.
Hi Adelina So happy to hear you found a spot. Wishing the best for you.
I am glad it worked out for you, congratulations ❤
Thanks 😊
Hooray and Congratulations!!! 💕on your new parking spot! I was holding my breath throughout the deliberation and elated because you code the one I wanted for you. Wishing you and Sophie all the best.
I’m at 5:12 in an I say 2 down , I kind of thought those two would be a no go. Same thoughts on the shanty town one and too much in and out traveling like you said especially if an emergency with the first one . I think the only negative I’d have about the park setting would be if they aloud 4 wheelers to run rampant. I was two yrs at a 4 seasons park as one of those seasonal RV campers and I couldn’t wait for my lease to be up. Even where I’m living now I’m reading about others not far from my community that are having the same issues. Thankfully not anywhere near my home. Ok , so now that said and I truly mean this. It’s going to be a long month waiting until we see you finally settled and enjoying your new surroundings. Fingers crossed that everything is smooth sailing from now until then. Have a wonderful day Adelina and Sophie.🐈💫
Thanks Sue. The landlord seems to be on top of keeping things calm in the campground side. 🤞☺️
You are moving to a beautiful part of Vancouver Island…I live about 1 1/2 hours north west of your new spot…and have spent time camping in that area over the years…loads of bike riding, hiking, skiing (Mnt. Washington) right between Campbell River and Courtenay…I do most of my shopping and business in these areas…Congratulations!!!
Congratulations on finding a spot! It sounds great. I can't wait to see you on your new spot!
Thanks ☺️!
Congratulations, thanks for sharing the process!
Thanks 😁.
My friend lives next to Miracle Beach Park. It’s a lovely place🤗❤️ I Love it there! Yeh for you!!❤❤ I think Star Link might work. I would have picked the same place from all the ones you picked from. ❤
I'll see if it will work.
So happy for you. 😊
Thanks! 😊
Glad you found a new place - hopefully it will work out better than your current location.
Thanks Ruth. Me too.
