I'm.a teacher and I'm very proud of the fact that I have given love and caring to the children who passed through my hands ....animals have better and greater souls than most humans and they give love ...we have a lot to learn ❤❤❤❤ I really admire you and what you say ...bravo ❤️
... i am nothing that this ilusion lie to us all ...
👍👍
👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
I do not understand how thinking observant people don't see that animals are sentient beings with souls. The arrogance of humans to say "we are so special, so chosen, only we have sentient thoughts, feelings, compassion, etc.". We even create myths we call religion to make that inexcusable arrogance (what our deepest animal instincts know is wrong) more palatable.
Animals are our greatest Teachers.
Collette
I agree 💯
I woke up March 2020
Fast forward 2024 fully awake
I’m so tired of all the sycophantic content from UA-camrs. Where have all the real people gone??? Thanks Colette for being real.
I spent an hour in the garden yesterday, before work, watering and weeding. Enjoying the peace and the birds. Had to come in at 8.30 and found myself feeling really annoyed by clocks and calendars. Nature has no such thing… it ebbs and flows, seasons influenced by the sun and moon. Yet here we are made to live defined by time. And now the clock has further influence in the name of a platform tiktok… where ticking time is of the essence, when getting content out. It’s dumbing us all down. Concentration spans are shot. Thank heavens for nature…. and books.
Collette,. I’m in the U.S., 73 years old, have my moral compass, beliefs, principles, opinions, and am very much in the minority with my views, where I live. I won’t be changing them, and I do “vote” with my wallet, support business owners with similar views, refuse to purchase from those who do not. I will continue to live my beliefs.
I wish we were neighbors!!! I'm 73 and in the same boat in a small town in the PNW.
I was, decades ago both a war correspondent (from the Nicaraguan jungles) and the editor of an international anti-war, etc. newspaper, and I'm still thoroughly addicted to knowing the underpinnings of current events.
It may be of interest to you to know that we have a viable revolutionary candidate running for the presidency. A woman who's also 73, coincidentally.
Read Jill Stein's platform, listen to her interviews, check out her activism for Palestine and look closely at who her donors are.
I subscribe to the old adage TAKE THE RIGHT ACTIONS REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME. So, for me personally, I'm in the struggle for the long haul and whether or not she wins I know I know I've followed my conscience.
Oh, how I wish we could share a cup of coffee and talk together.
I know of no one here that even cares enough to know the basics about the situation we're in.
It's in these comment sections I find myself in the best company.
You warm the cockles of my heart, Dear! ❤
Colette, the only thing wrong with your rant is there's an ocean between us! I keep coming here largely for your Irish woman's wisdom. There are lots of "pretty restore a cottage" channels online, but only one Colette. Agree absolutely about animals, the soul of nature, and about wars. Thank you!
Agree yes indeed us women need to rise up and speak up. Keep it coming Collette ❤
If it wasn't for the beautiful Ocean, l would be there to stand by this Warrior WOMAN ❤️ Kerry Australia
Peace and Blessings to you Colette, and Patsy too, and all who visit Bealtaine cottage!🏡🌻🐕
I stuck to my principles throughout the nonsense and never took you-know-what. They tried to shame us, silence us, threatened us with camps and even starvation. Many of my friends lost their jobs. Thank you for speaking on this. It lifted my spirits. PS love your cottage and you.
At 58, lost my job/career in 2022, after relocating from east to west coast in the US 4 years prior for the job. I drove 3 days back to the east, started renovating an old rental home so I could move back in (2 months of contractors, cleaning and work before I could move back in). ..turned 60 in Feb, still not working and still glad I stood my ground completely alone. Stopped following religion years ago, no family in my state, I have no children and all of my friends here and family that live in other states followed the fear. Had a co-worker, young healthy man, 41 who just fell off a bicycle and died soon after following the rule. This world is not what we think and also appreciate Collette speaking on this. Thanks for sharing your comment.
@@maur1571 It took courage to stand your ground. Bravo! I'm 62, so I understand what you say. Many of my family and friends followed orders and stopped talking to me when I challenged the narrative. Some of them are suffering now due to the v's side effects. It changed everything and put up walls between us that weren't there before. It has been a difficult adjustment, but I can sleep at night. Best wishes to you
@@claudiafernety7563 Thanks so much. Indeed, it has been difficult. Like yourself, I do sleep peacefully. All the best to you as well!!!! I checked out your channel. Love the song about the deer and her fawn.
@@maur1571 Aww, thanks!
Dear Colette, I've been watching your videos for years and you and your property have been very inspirational. As one who lives in the USA, I'm very unhappy with the state of things here...very concerned about what will happen. Even though I have decided on ethical ways to live and purchase, I fear that my small choices just won't make a difference in the craziness around me. I am attempting to find and maintain a place of peace, but feel like a minnow in a pool of sharks.
I'm also in the US. I'm 73 and have been studying the dirty underbelly of the US Empire for about 50 years.
Decades ago I was a war correspondent from deep in the jungles of Nicaragua, then the editor of an international anti-war, etc. newspaper from the heart of the 9 missile states.
Now I live in a small town in the PNW where I'm attempting to tell people about the chance we have to elect an outstanding woman, also 73, for our president. Few actually listen, either because they don't care or because they've essentially given up hope of substantial change.
But I carry on nonetheless, because I care. I couldn't respect myself if I didn't.
If you read Jill Stein's platform, listen to interviews with her, watch her speak (and even get arrested for it!) at demonstrations for the Palestinians, and- very importantly- research who her donors are, I feel sure you'll find something that will satisfy your need actually make a difference.
Whether or not she wins (and now she can!) isn't, in the final analysis, as important as knowing I've been socially responsible and followed my conscience. ❤
I experience my life & feel the exact same as you have described in your statements as a USA citizen, for 63 years. I Understand!
I'm in my mid 70's and although I was adopted and my parents were short in funds they were rich in kindness. In those days a hug was a rarity and as my parents were the same age as the other children's grandparents rather Victorian; but the values they taught me have served me well through all life's vicissitudes. What I always remember was what my dad said to me when once again I came back from Sunday school with the little envelope for the missionaries. His philosophy was that if everyone just did their best to be kind to those who touched their lives the world would be a better place. I think the Worlds gone to hell in a handcart and I'm not sure where its going to next but I am so grateful for having been a child of the fifties and sixties and that I can escape the madness down on my allotment and out in the country on my walks. Rant on Colette
I agree with your rant, Colette. I would just add that when you said, "vote with your pocketbook", people should do that with cash. Credit and debit cards are very convenient, but there is a price to be paid for convenience.
The powers-that-be want us to give up cash because they can save money with less customer service, they can track what we buy, where we buy and where we travel. That is something I find rather alarming.
I also find that spending cash makes you re-think your purchase because handing over that money hurts much more than tapping a card on a machine.
Also, I think a lot of young people would benefit from going back to using cash as it would strengthen their basic math skills.
Take care and thank you for saying out loud what many of us are thinking.
Agree! I always make a point of paying in cash to local small retailers here in Sheffield. They are grateful
Yes! l do the same pay with cash. l am also seeing how they are dismissing people and replacing them with machines. l always take the lines with cashiers no matter the wait. The young people rather wait in long lines to pay at a "check out" in order to be cool. They don't understand there is a "quiet" training happening among our young people to prepare them for the future. Yes, they will have a price to pay, but it will be too late.
Do more of these. I live on my homestead in Colorado and made the decision to drop out of this lunacy as much as possible. I live in a sea of red hats and just can’t deal with the stupidity. Their moral compass is beyond anything I ever thought I’d encounter in my lifetime.
I live in Texas and I am not proud to admit that anymore. My prayers for our country is that those in power will put our nation and its citizens first before their own selfish interests. Our individual powers are in the voting booths and the choices we make everyday. I’m not normally this cynical and it’s disheartening to feel this way. May we remember who we are as a country .
We in the US are blessed with an extraordinary opportunity to elect a highly- intelligent, dignified and principled woman for president this year!
Seriously check out Jill Stein's platform, actions, interviews and - most importantly- donors.
Then let's do what we can to help her get elected. She's now a very VIABLE candidate.
Whether or not she wins, it'll make us feel better to know we've done what we can both for our country and for our souls. ❤
@@kateoneal4215 never heard of her. What is her political party? It’s a little late for this election.
Thank you Colette, as the majority is still asleep , it's also true that a lot of people are waking up. We need all the rants in the world to wake up the rest though. I have listened to each one of your carefully formulated words, for obvious reasons, but you couldn't be clearer . Thank you for your message
I am writing you from Costa Rica. I am a US citizen who is so discouraged and just fed up with what's going on in the world that I chose CR as a refuge. Believe me, CR has plenty of problems too, but they are a much nicer people to live among. We bought this property over 8 years ago when we decided to change our lifestyle and try to keep our sanity. Your channel has given me so much peace and calmness and its my go to when I need it. I agree stay true to yourself and if people don't like it, move on. I don't agree with everything you say (overwhelmingly, I do) but I always walk away from your channel with food for thought and I carry that through my day. Keep on being you, its why we all are here. Many Blessings.
I’m overwhelmed by the world anymore, Colette. Runaway inflation and politicians who have completely sold us out. I’ve never been mainstream. I’ve no use for it. You are so right, “killing people is wrong.” I adore the oasis you have created. All the best to you and Patsy. ❤
"This is my rant, this is my kitchen...". I'm listening, Collette. 🙏🌏🌱💫💝
Colette you just rant your little heart out! I’m here(hear) for it💚
It all makes me sick, what "they" are all saying, and we can not trust any of them. You speak so much sense Colette. I have become a recluse now, which I love, and I know folk could say that the politics do influence the way I live, because of the price of things, and how things work, but I LOVE nature, and hate seeing anyone harming Mother Earth. I grew up in a family who was Conservative, but until I was older, I did not understand what this meant. I was born in 1956, so I believed what my parents said was right, and never questioned it. I was educated in a private school, which I hated, as I was bottom of the class, and never fitted in, but my dear Father thought that he was giving me the best start in life, that he did not have. I wish that I had been self educated, as that would have been the right way for me. I am now 67 years young, and am scared of what the future may hold, but like my lovely greyhound Madge, I try to just live each day as it comes now. I follow you because I believe in a better life. We can only hope for good things to come. Blessings to you too, from Jilly & Madge. xxx
❤❤!
You have MY support and respect for this “rant”! Refreshing to hear the TRUTH being spoken. 💥
People need to pull their heads out of their “arses” 🙈🙉🙊 and wake the hell up. TY❣️❣️❣️
I hear you fine. Loud and clear on all levels! The world about us have no moral compass they are led by the nose in fear and dread. Bright Blessings sister
………Not a rant Collette….. sheer sense….. thank you…. Sending blessings to both you and Patsy 🙏
I’m a Christian and wasn’t offended by your beliefs as you are accepting of mine. You are spot on and love your rants. Please continue to speak your mind. You have a wide audience that should be able to handle the truth. ❤
Thankyou for your words, we are liked minded and you've helped me. It is encouraging to hear from people who have their eyes wide open. I am truely inspired, how you have navigated your path in life and given us the answer to life by caring for nature. ❤
Yes, it is a sad fact that for decades our Earth is being subjected to incredible pain, we need to come together as one, love and respect each other in order to progress to levels we can hardly imagine, in order to protect ourselves and our precious Earth home. There is much more out there, I'm sure many are aware already. We know in recent years, that certainly, these times are very concerning, frightning indeed! All is not as it seems sadly. Our precious wildlife and environment are paramount 🌏
Thanks for your wisdom dear Colette! 💖🦋🕊🌹
Colette do not change, I love you the way you are, especially love your rants. You have helped me so much during my Bone Cancer battle. I have a little potted garden and I grow beautiful flowers from seed. Thank you! You are my inspiration ❤.
I am very grateful for you, Colette. Thank you for being here and sharing your thoughts with us. Blessings to you.
Oh, I loved this one! I wasn't entirely sure where you stood on the 'thing that happened a couple of years ago' (unless I've missed a previous video on the subject, I haven't watched them all). Back in those days (2021 especially) all day, everyday, I had running through my head 'what the hell is going on? What's wrong with everyone?', but I was scared to say it out loud and just kept my head down about my own decision to say no to it all. One of the best pieces of advice I've ever been given came from a wise woman at that time - step into your sovereignty. I have now, those days of trying to avoid confrontation by meekly pretending to comply are over. I've stepped into my sovereignty. Blessings to you Colette x
I said no also. This was an experiment to see if we would follow and obey. In my opinion mandating the masks was too.
Patsy sat up & looked straight at you when you said the teachers words that “animals don’t have a soul “ .. she was so obviously in disagreement with the teacher 🥰 I felt as if I was sat in the kitchen with you today .. it was good to chat 🙏🏼❤️ xx
Dear Colette, thank you for always being authentic. I can’t tell you how much it means to know there are others out there who refuse to “comply” to all of the nonsense going on in our world. So many of us have become isolated over the last several years as we try to navigate and hold on to our grasp on reality. Your rant renews my courage! Blessings!❤
Bring on the voice of reason (rant!) You put into words how we all feel! A wise woman has said, "In a time of destruction...create something."
Dear Pagan sister, thank you for your sharings. You are not ranting just being authentic. People who don't have an opinion are too nebulous for me. Luv the family dog story. My baby boy passed to rainbow Bridge 4 years' ago and I gave him a beautiful Pagan funeral. Enjoy the Summer solstice with lovely Patsy blessed be x
To hear someone else voicing how 'I feel' when the censorship is tightening its evil grip is as much a breath of fresh air as the birdsong is music to my ears, keep the coffee chats coming you brilliant, articulate, kind, honest soul ❤
Agree 100%❤In Germany we have a government which not only does not represent interests of the citizens, in fact nowadays it is obvious that they make politics AGAINST the population, which is a crime in itself. A lot of people leave the country because it has become a madhouse☹️
I enjoyed your rant Collette, agree with all you said. Like minded pagan woman ❤
I can say without hesitation that we are no longer represented in the U.S. either and haven't been for a long time. Yet, people continue to insist that this or that candidate will be better, all the while they're all singing the same old song but just to a different tune. I no longer participate in it, and have remained a philosophical observer, laughing each time I see the folly of their various attempts at being relevant. You are 100% correct about Nature never changing. It continues to be my solace and will be to my dying day.
Do yourself a favor, if you still care about this country, Rachael.
I'm 73 and have been "fighting the good fight" for over 50 years now, both for my self-respect and because I do care about the 3 1/2 million others that also share this country.
Decades ago I was the editor of an international newspaper and learned to thoroughly check data and sources.
True to form, I've done that with Jill Stein. Her background, her current actions, her interviews and, most importantly, who her donors are. She not only checks out in all counts, she's now a VIABLE candidate for the presidency.
I can't, in good conscience, sit this one out and just give up.
I hope you don't do that either, Dear.
Chances like this are extremely rare. ❤
Gentle reminder to please let "the ads" run as you enjoy watching the videos. The youtube platform will pay a small amount to our dear Colette...thank you and have a peace filled day😊
I love who you are and what you say, Blessings to you and Patsy. Be well. Suzanne
Dear Colette it's not the number of subscribers it's the wonderful people new & old who want to learn & see your woodland & yourself & the honesty you always connect to us.❤Love Kerry Australia
This was a lovely talk You offered us . I totally agree that , anyway, we are all heading to the same end , and that.the best thing that we can do IS to live in joy . Blessings to you 💚❤️🌿
You were on fire today Colette, a good cleansing fire... 👍🏻👍🏻
Sometimes words of sense needs to be spoken, to open the eyes of people... Right now so much crazy things happen and we need that to stop right now.💖🤗
And dogs are certainly not a soul less thing... They are loving beings full of a personality with feelings and thought and that means they have a soul/higher self, just like us, Humans🐾🐾💖🤗
Loved your Ranting today, Colette.💖And please give a hug to Patsy from me!
Of course all animals have souls, they love they hurt they feel, much more than some people. ❤️Colette, thanks for the chat.
God bless you. You moved me to tears. You have such a gift. Thank you ❤🇦🇺
@DalecRussell hello, thank you for your compliment. I am well and very happy, thank you. I am working today in country Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 My husband runs the local post office. I deliver mail.
I should add, I did get moved to tears, because I am an animal lover and the conversation re animals and souls touched me deeply.
Thank you for expressing what you have...I am finding it all really weighing me down and feeling bereft at the lack of humanity! Bring on the rants I say! Totally agree with NO and boycotts!
That was a tonic!
Agree 100%
Thank you Collette, may you also live in joy ✨🙏💚
I 100% agree with everything you are saying! Keep saying it. The people with a moral compass need to be reminded to stand up for Mother Nature and her creatures.
I applaud you and your honesty. Thank you.
Animals do too have souls. Nobody will ever convince me different . As I age I am content too sit on my porch , with my dog and contemplate. I am a happy woman. I couldn't care less what anyone thinks of me . I don't worry about the outside world, if I can't change it , no worry for me . I never get mad or get my feelings hurt. My mammy Belcher raised me this way . Good video. Love and Blessings to you and Patsy from an old woman and her dog .❤❤
Me identifico con su comentario. Saludos 😊
Yes they do I absolutely love animals they are God's creatures
👍👍 A breath of fresh air.....truth, from a wide awake soul. Thank you Collette .❤️🙏
Thank you for being you. I loved sitting with you. I appreciate your groundedness. I pray that I learn this. You are a lovely example.
If it takes a religion for you to decide to be kind there's a lot of issues there! Always delighted by how we think alike! How nice it would be to share tea with you! I'll lift my next cup to you and your gardens.
Love listening to you, Collette. You always speak the truth and too many are not ready to hear the truth. That is their loss.
A good rant always makes us feel better! 😅
Love your honesty! The gift of being a wise elder, speak the truth whether it is popular or not. "When in chaos, create!"
Omgosh I love Patsys little head up there at the table 🥰
On the subject of animals and souls. Oh of course an animal has a soul absolutely! Even the tiny ant on the floor has a purpose and a need to complete it's life work. Animals are far more in tune with all that is beyond this life too, more so than humans. You only have to see how a dog might react after the death of an owner to know they have a deep and sensitive compassion and deep feelings. I too turn my back on closed minded religion.
Ahhhh Collette ~ Woman after my own Heart ~ Haven't tuned into this channel for a while, no apology simply been doing Being my own thing ~ So Lovely to see you still here, sitting in your WonderFull little Stone cottage saying it 'like it is' ~ Keep going SweetHeart following your moral compass, Love what you are saying here about that, so important to pay attention to this ~ I feel that since the you know what many more people are Waking Up and smelling the Roses (and no doubt many other things besides) Your messages are BeautyFull Collette and Allways touch my Heart with confirmations and upliftment ~ Thank You for Simply Being You ~ Brightest Blessings of Love
Oh, Pamela! Thank you for saying that! Don't we all agree! Just keep swimming! Love from NorCal!
Love you rants Colette and well said. Heather
When you mentioned people unsubscribing, I chuckled as that’s how I feel about friends I thought I knew well, but realised very quickly if they won’t even discuss, in fact brush me off when I start my “rant”, well they are really not my friend at all, certain comments over the years have made me realise who I can really connect with on a deeper level, real eye opener, it has changed me for the better and I hear your words and just want to say I hear you ❤ blessings dear friend
As always, wise words from you, Colette. Bravo for having the ‘nerve’ to say what others think, but rarely vocalize ❤
I remember being in Sunday school when I was about 8 years old and asking the vicar if dogs go to heaven because my dog had just died. I was heartbroken. He told me no they don’t. That was the day I knew I would never listen to anything the Christian church taught me ever again. I’ve been Pagan ever since.
Bless you Colette 💕😍and thank you so much for this and for all that you share with us. You are such a blessing.
You are right on the mark! The words you speak are wise, filled with the wisdom of someone who sees and understands. Please keep ranting, the people need to hear the truth. Thank you and Bless you and Patsy!
Thank you! This was a meaningful chat❤ Animals definitely have souls. They love with all their hearts 🙏🏻🐾❤️🙏🏻
Rant? No. This is a heart felt message ❤ Why do some think this is wrong? We all need a Moral Compass, a free will, love and passion. Thank you for keeping your channel Real. We love you for that. Blessings All. Live, Laugh and Love❤❤❤
Thank you Colette, for being your wonderful self, and for sharing with us. Wishing you abundance, joy and peace.
Dear Collette, I love you so. I have been following you for so long, and I not quite verbal, but today I cannot help it: I am glad and thankful one day I landed in this channel. Many thanks for having said uttered such wise words. Much joy to you, my dear
Good to see u sharing your wisdom again. U r right our leaders are not working for our benefit. Yes nit much makes sense outside of nature. Vote with your wallet - love this ❤ xx
Well done for the rant Colette, I'm with you 💯. We have to stand in our own power and not be part of their 'collective'.
2.25pm. I just listened to your rant. I thought it was quite mild! My sons Mop died last. Sadie his youngest daughter aged 5 said a little prayer for him at Playschool and her teacher sent a little WhatsApp of her saying the prayer. Sadie was so sincere as she was doing it. Maybe things have improved somewhat since your children were at school. Gregory my son will be 45 on Saturday. My daughter Emily has ordered A House on 3 Acres for me and I'm giving it to him. My spiritual journey started the day he was born but that's another story. Thanks so much Collette Blessings to you. Ann Mc Lucas 😊
Love & Peace to you always ☮🌎✌🌻🌱☘
I’m watching Ballykissangel on Britbox and in one episode they shoved a ram in a box and hoisted it up in the air for a town festival. A female farmer was outraged. She wanted the priest to help her steal it back to put into the pasture. He said what’s the difference? It doesn’t have a soul! I nearly came unglued! It never ceases to amaze me, Colette, the lies we’ve been told over the years. Not just religion, politics and school, but everywhere! There are some things I conform to for convenience, being in the US, but I certainly have my limits. My moral compass is pointing in the right direction for sure. I’m definitely an outcast in my town and family. Whatever! I loved your kitchen chat~Not ranting, but sharing! Nothing wrong with being real. Bright blessings to you and Patsy ♥️♥️
Indeed the divine spark is in every living thing. And every living thing will return to it's creator. The ignorance and downright arrogance of much of mankind (such as that priest) is disgusting. That false sense of superiority will be taken down one day. Many surprises in store.
Soy española y me asquea algunas tradiciones que hay en este país con el maltrato animal. Vivo mi vida con valores paganos y esta sociedad me importa bien poco, mi camino es mio y lo transito a mi manera. Saludos
Dear Colette, thank you for publishing these words here! They don't want to realize the truth about that fact that we can decide every single day. Or to say it with the words of Friedrich Schiller: "The great cease to rule when the small cease to crawl. Most seem to prefer to crawl and beeing victims and do never notice they are...
Those who have been crawling perhaps are starting to straighten up. The whole of the western world seems to be voting to throw out the current party in power in their country regardless of its political bent. It's a sign people have reached their breaking point. Will this continue and be another global sea chance (ala the 1500's, late 1700's, 1848, post WWII) or will things die back down? I'm guessing it's an historical moment of change. I sense it, Colette is sensing it (thus her rant), and I think you are sensing it as your mind harkens back to Schiller's observant quote.
Thank you... killing other people is not fine. It is NOT fine. Wise words from you!
An eloquent and spot-on “rant”!
Very much enjoyed your video...rant on!! Look forward to a book about your dear departed grandmother.
We are around a lot of people daily, and it does seem like since the u-no-what, people have changed for the worse. mental acuity seems a thing of the past.
Thank you for those words of wisdom. I agree with you 100%. Love your cottage and what you've done...many Blessings to you ~~
I am with you, dear Colette!
I am convinced that the ways of this world will be changed by the power of strong, smart, angry women…
Women who are not afraid to use their voices, their votes, their money and their skills for the betterment of humanity.
YESSS!!!! And in the U.S. we even have an outstanding woman running for the presidency!!!!
I've thoroughly checked out Jill Stein and am supporting her to the best of my ability. ❤
Bravo Colette! Agree with every word. Saying no - even when it means going against the majority but is the right thing to do is so important. Great rant. Lovely to hear you speak so freely again. Much love and blessings to you and dear Patsy xxx
I believe animals have beautiful caring souls! I find i like animals more than humans. My husband is battling cancer right now. Our cat is such a comfort to him. He calls him his C.A.T caregiver assistant technician! We feed the birds , chipmunks, and have bunnies in our yard. I feel closer to God walking in the woods than i would in any church. I live in the USA . Right now I try to ignore the craziness happening. I focus on my family. We also buy food at our local farm and live simply. I wish more people were as level headed as you Collette. All the best to you and the wee girl❤
HAAAA! I'm a 73 year old woman living alone in a small town in Washington State with a tailless orange cat that just moved in with me about 3 years ago.
Every morning after breakfast he hurries out to check and mark the perimeter of my large back garden so I call him my C.O.P., as in Cat On Patrol.
❤❤❤❤ All the best to you, your husband and your cat buddy, dear.
Totally agree with you my sentiments exactly
Listening to you "rant" bought tears to my eyes because I so agree with everything you said. Just say NO, vote with your purse, you can do anything you put your mind to, these all came out if my parents mouth growing. They were so ahead of their time! I got side tracked back in 2020 and its taken me awhile to get back my senses. I will NOT be side tracked ever again. Thank you for being you and sharing . Peace be with you.
Thank you for this topic. When you pointed to your arm "you know what", I know exactly how you think about it and I appreciate being in the presence of a like-minded REAL person.
Me too🎉
Nice listening to you. Many wise words.Thanks Colette❣
Thank you for the rant! You're a very wise lady with wise words. We all need to be more wise just like you and think for ourselves! Blessings to you as well lovely lady. ❤🙏❤
All good Colette, i love a good rant and yours gave me alot to think and ponder on, it helps me to listen to others about what they think and feel, it brings depth and insight. Love to you and Patsy ❤
Good morning Colette, I am A Celtic Pagan Woman, of the same mind, I feel there is no-one representing me, or people like me, aged 73 on the 3rd of July. I shall not be casting my vote. I represent myself, my sister is of the same mind. I didn't want my local library to close, I went along to the local meetings had my say, I don't want to live in a place where the small shops are being eaten up by large businesses but they are, I don't want to live in a small village where there is no longer a bank I can go to, but I do, all these changes being made and we the local people some families have been here for generations I have lived here for 50 years, it was a lovely community, still is, the local government and big businessmen no one ever sees, are trying to kill off small businesses. Once again we the locals are ignored . We are only one community of many across England that is being ignored. The local Government have no power, money is the power, It is only on paper or figures on a broad sheet, but billions of £,$ or € are being bartered against lives...
Love is free, Hope is free,
We need more of both.
Hugs and Blessings. 💚🌹👏
I fully enjoyed your rant. I am so thankful when people choose to have real conversations rather than talk about gossip and fluff, it’s not easy nor popular following one’s moral compass. I always felt it was a curse as I couldn’t enjoy “normal” pursuits like everyone else. The last five years has taught me that I am blessed for following it. I started following your channel for the walks and the scenery, however, I enjoy your wise counsel even more. Thank you, Colette!
I recently listened to a few rants that were sheer lunacy, but it is refreshing to hear one that I can actually relate to. I have never been mainstrean and never will be. I continue to prepare for a solitary retreat when my caretaking of my mom is done. Patsy is such a sweetie popping up every now and then. I imagine her saying one should always go for a walk after a good rant mum.
Try to step out of your routine of the work of caring for your mom periodically (mentally and physically) and just sit and be with her, maybe just hold her hand or or look at her or whatever language your family uses to understand. You will be grateful for those moments when she is gone and they will be what you remember even when 99% of your care actually involves work. I was there, I know. The care givers are under appreciated, but not by those receiving the care even if they can't, don't express it.❤️🙏
Collette , you are definitely awake ! ❤❤❤
You are the best of the best, I just love your vibe. I agree with you 100 percent. I am from Washington State. Of late I stay in my own lane, I have very little friends. Ands that is okay. I have changed.for the best. And work my land.
Colette, you are an inspiration! x
I so enjoyed tea time with you, Colette! I concur 1,000 %!
I'm loving your rant ❤! I have suspected all along after following you for the last few years that you were wide awake ❤❤❤ carry on xxx
Colette, you are the best. I am so very deeply grateful that I found your channel. Thank you for your rant. I watch a few videos as eye/ear candy - but channels like yours is what I crave and live for. Much love and gratitude!
I love your rants!
Isn’t it insane that there are 8 billion people on earth just like us, yet just a handful of leaders who cause all the havoc and destruction?? 🤷♀️
Hi Colette & Patsy! Great video. I agree with everything you said, Colette! Blessings to you & Patsy.
What's a bigger word than, "Agree?" Agree x10?
Blessings to you too Colette, and of course Patsy. I feel that many of us (those who are aware more so) are totally done with all the nonsense that is happening around us at this time. Common sense is not common anymore, and I feel that the best that we can do is to hold our light, think positively, and generate a joyful energy to project out to all that exists. Of course, we need to 'get it off our chest' as well with all the stupidity and toxicity that we are dealing with. (Keeping this simply worded for the YT nonsense). Anyone who is not kind to animals will not be kind to humans. Sending you both love, nurturing, and support in all you do. Love from Australia. xxx
I’m a 51 year old Pagan woman and I share your views. I don’t mind your occasional rants as they’re very educational and you have every right to speak out especially on your own channel. The world would be a better more compassionate place with more opinionated pagan women 💚
