    (Please note: I can't guarantee items will arrive in time for the holidays.)
    Welcome to my channel where I share my simple and peaceful cottage lifestyle. The days are getting shorter and grayer here in the Hudson Valley ... so in this video, I share some of the things I'm implementing to keep happy and calm : ) It's technically not winter yet! But somehow it feels like winter has been here for months! So far, for me, happiness this season has involved thrifting, taking walks, baking, and crafting. And also the use of my trusty light box and a technique I've been using to calm anxious thoughts.
    Subscribe to my channel to stay updated on my journey and embrace the peacefulness of simple living.
    Thank you so much for being here! And as always, I'd love if you leave a comment and let me know how things are going in your neck of the woods!
    Light box that I use: Nature Bright SunTouch Plus Light and Ion Therapy (I love it! But it was much less expensive when I bought it 5 years ago... so there might be some equally amazing and less expensive options out there, too.)

    MY WASHING MACHINE ... people often ask what brand it is, and if I like it! The answer is ... yeeees! It's a Costway portable machine and I LOVE it! It's not nearly as fast and efficient to use as a regular washing machine. But if you can't have one for any reason, this little guy can be a real life saver. I don't see the exact model that I have any longer by Costway. But this seems to be the closest thing: amzn.to/3RK7etz

    My sister who just died of ovarian cancer in June told me before she passed that she never felt good enough and when I saw what you wrote it broke my heart and made me cry. YOU ARE NOT ONLY GOOD ENOUGH BUT THE WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE BECAUSE YOU ARE IN IT! I can’t tell how many times that I have watched your channel….. and the first time I was in a hurricane. Your videos help me to forget my grief and your relationship with little Charlie always makes me smile……..so coming from this old lady I consider you priceless!

    Hi sweetie! Please don't feel like I'm preaching...I'm a retired psychotherapist and educator who also struggles with anxiety. The most profound thing I ever learned in grad school is this one simple phrase: 'you cannot have a feeling without a thought'. So when anxiety is on the rise, figure out what you're thinking. Exactly like the 2 things you wrote down and burned. Then test them with the 'f' words-is this a fact or a fear? It's almost always an unrealized fear. To calm a racing heart, the most recommended thing is to control your breathing. But do you know why? The lungs are mightier than the heart and have the power to calm it down! Yes, our dear lungs which keep us alive through oxygen intake! God bless your efforts and thank you for making the most beautiful videos on UA-cam!

    A mermaid has your GOPRO. Those Big Sur mermaids don't joke. Loved your stories this video. Seeing the forest and landscape so bare I got this feeling of naked vulnerability. It's so crazy to think that just a few weeks ago there were still leaves in the trees and green space. Keep warm and cozy dear Kate! We are all so grateful for you and your art. You are not alone in the work of coping with anxiety and this video gave us some terrific tools. You are such a wise and compassionate healer. Thank you for letting us walk with you on your journey.

    Beautiful video! I too used to struggle desperately with anxiety and tried everything to overcome it. Counseling, diet, exercise, meditation, and the list goes on, and nothing ever really got to the root of the problem. Until a specialist finally explained to me that depression and anxiety, which are closely related, can actually be simply an organic illness, like diabetes, heart, disease, multiple sclerosis, etc. Many of these things are brought on by lifestyle, but are not treatable unless treated with medication. he explained the whole thing about serotonin, and how some bodies just do not produce enough which in turn can cause anxiety and depression. I was at an all time low and decided to try a low-dose of medication which he recommended and it revolutionized my life, and I think actually saved my life. My zest and vigor for life came back, and I do stay on a low-dose all the time now especially in the winter months. I live a completely anxiety free life, and feel healthy happy and thankful to be alive every single day. This, of course, is just my own story❤, and many people may disagree with me. But I am thankful that I was able to find a medication that gave me my healthy life back.

      I didn't have a problem with anxiety, but did suffer from depression. I'd get home from work and just want to go to bed. And I knew that would be terrible for my children. Medication made the difference -- it removed the weight of depression that was wearing me down and allowed me to be myself, explore life, and have energy and laughter for my children.

      Thank you for sharing this. I’m so sorry for the loss of your sister, that is devastating. I have recently been experiencing severe anxiety attacks ( just admitting it here ) since caring for my dad with dementia / working FT for 2 years. I though I was having a heart attack, or breathing issue, but the more I thought about it, the three times it’s happened in the last two week had to do with medical appointments. I’ve gone to my primary and spent 6 hours in the ER two days ago. Time to reach out for some medical help with the emotional distress. Bless you all for the kindness you bring to others.

    In my 20s I felt the drive to get married before age 30. Approaching 30, I had lots of anxiety of the worst kind. I did get married at age 31 in my darkest time. The marriage pulled me out of it. Now a widow after 41 years of marriage, I regret marrying, considering everything I was subject to. Life is a gift, not to waste. God is by your side.

    You're a beautiful, kind, sweet and multi talented human.....your videos bring so much joy to many. Loving all the simple every day things you do and make etc.....what a blessing it would be to have you as a friend, TFS as always. Watching from a very wintery Suffolk, England.

    Thank you so much for humbling yourself and sharing your feelings . I am also going through horrible anxiety and love how you shared journaling then burning those anxious times. I so miss taking walks as that used to help so much but due to my disabilities can no longer do that. You are an amazing person and make such a difference in so many lives, including mine. I love winter in upstate New York, love the holidays so it’s not that but I think like you said fears of deeper things that we really should let go of. I have seven furbabies that I love as much as you love your sweet Charlie so I turn to their unconditional love the way you take your walks. Thank you so much for another awesome video❤

    The mushroom garland is adorable - great little project! Im working on the giving up of sugar - was on a roll, then Thanksgiving set me back, I'm working at being back on track now - I think it's so much better for my health to go sugar free! See you next time. PS I light my fake little fireplace every day if I'm home, it makes it cozy❤️

    I half expected Charlies head to pop out of your BOHO tote at the beginning! You look fabulous in that outfit. I hope your anxieties are subsiding. Winter does a number on me after a while with the dreariness of the weather. I need to get one of those sunlamps! When it gets too bad I focus on what I want to do in my garden in the Spring and that helps a lot. So do your videos! Hang in there, you are more than good enough.

It adds one more layer of "sweetness" without sugar 😋🍪. Your courage to explore your interior world is a treasure. Your videos remind me of my own youth 40 years ago - Before Internet, Before UA-cam.

    I agree sweet lady... Thrifting does lift spirits. Whether or not you buy something, it gets you out of the house. And then if you find something you can't live without, that's even better. And you deserve it!🎉😂❤

I have anxiety and find it terribly difficult to do anything with the exception of country driving and thrifting ;) but it helps me. The mushroom garland is gorgeous. I made stars out of clementines by drying them on the window sill. Still not sure what to do with them.Thanks so much for your video.xx♥🐾🐾🐾🐾♥

    Your paintings are so lovely - I think you could open an Etsy shop and sell them! One of the things I have done (usually on the winter solstice) is have a fire and write down on paper the things I am letting go of in the coming year (so those could be things like your fears, habits that aren't serving you, etc.,) and then once you let those burn away, write another sheet with the things that you are welcoming into your life in the coming year, and send that up to the heavens to "materialize." So sorry about your GoPros! Oh so sad to have lost the first one. I think GoPro should be sending you a freebie - even I have looked up GoPros after seeing you mention them. Not in my budget yet, but on the list! We've got some snow up here and the first big snowstorm coming tomorrow...makes me wonder whether you'll be getting snow soon too. Poor Charlie won't be happy! Have a lovely week, Kate!

    Thank you for sharing. And congrats on staying away from sugar since June! ❤🥳🥳 Im going to try your recipe, thanks! Would love to know what temperature and time you use. 😊 I've been following you for over a year now, and I never get tired of your genuineness and your ability to be so transparent and honest. I find that amazing and commendable, as I imagine you may very well be helping other young woman to accept the challenges that life dishes up. You exhibit fortitude showing that even when it's hard, you keep moving forward, one day at a time, just doing your best. I enjoyed your content this video and even forwarded it on to my daughter in hopes that she will start following you! Thank you again! Shine on, bright star!✨️💫💞🌺

    When you shared the story of losing your first GoPro I could just imagine how you must have felt, losing all of those beautiful photos. Big Sur is such a gorgeous area. I love your little mushroom project and I want to try it. They are so adorable. What did you glue to the top so you could thread the string through? I rewatched the video several times but couldn't tell what it was. Just want to say that you bring a lot of joy to your viewers and I'm sure with those you interact with. Your beautiful smile is heartwarming. Don't ever think you are not enough. Sending big hugs your way.
