    The slow and simple life is a Spiritual freedom for me. Staying in the present and being content developes a Holy Spirit and a joy in all circumstances ❤

    When we look back on our life what will we remember most, not all the jobs we did, or the money we made. It’s the time we spent with loved ones and the all those precious moments. Your children are very lucky to have you to show them what’s important. Life really is too short❣️

    This brought me back to raising my kiddos which are now adults and I am so glad I chose slow living while raising those kids! Not a regret at all about choosing stillness and being fully present while being with my children. And oh what great souls they are now because of it. Thank you for this beautiful reminder! ❤

    Your words touched me so deeply. You have made me realise that I don't need to quit my job and move to a farm of my dreams, I could just be present in the moment and embrace the life that I have. Thank you!

    I really like your aesthetic, the flowers, the tones. Where are your flowery pillow covers from? This video was much needed. I easily get lost in comparison and productivity. Not entirely sure where I m at with my intentions but it s always refreshing to see people awakening to real life instead of living passively through social media

    • @Alphabethany
      @Alphabethany  18 днів тому

      Thank you so much 🥰 They are actually pillowcases from a Grandparents house. They have sat in a spare room since the 90s, so i don't know where they are from originally.

    Would you be able to write the quote out for me? Or link where I can find it. It’s a special one! Xx

    • @Alphabethany
      @Alphabethany  22 дні тому +3

      To live content with small means.
      To seek elegance rather than luxury,
      and refinement rather than fashion.
      To be worthy not respectable,
      and wealthy not rich.
      To study hard, think quietly, talk gently,
      act frankly, to listen to stars, birds, babes,
      and sages with open heart, to bear all cheerfully,
      do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never.
      In a word, to let the spiritual,
      unbidden and unconscious,
      grow up through the common.
      This is to be my symphony.
      - William Henry Channing

    Why is it necessary to have this load background music ?
    ...it's most distracting and stressing.
