    Even though I am retired and we are in the midst of Covid-19, I still follow the guidelines for being productive in my day. Dressing, personal hygiene, doing daily chores, etc also helps to make you feel good about yourself as a person. I can't move to Sweden or to a small village, but I get outside in my yard, and make my home as stress free as possible.

Or be independently wealthy and able to purchase you home and not work. I will have to look closer at Sweden. I used to be pretty proud to be American but not in the last 20 years.

    Hello Maria. I really hope everything will be good for you soon. I still remember that video maybe 3 years ago where you are sharing your struggles and thoughts about them. It was very emotional for me and gave me hope and strength to overcome my own difficulties. I really wished I could rewatch it, but it's not on the channel anymore. I'm sure you had your reasons to delete\hide it, I just wanted to say that your videos were very helpful and brought peace. Thank you for that and please take care.

I did not stop smiling throughout this video, even had a little giggle, not laughing at you, just how cute and amazing you are. I wish you so much luck in what you do, you deserve it Maria.

    Hi Maria, glad to see you back. You're a courageous person, you went through a lot and you're there, all by yourself, God knows at what cost. I'm learning how to live alone too, after an abusive, toxic relationship with a narcissist. It takes time to heal, but once you adapt, you feel so much stressed free. Keep sharing your life with us. We're living in hard times all, and we need people like you to know that if you could overcome illness and other issues, we can too. God bless you.

    I love watching your shows, I'm a nurse in a nursing home I work nights so that I can still do things like taking dog walks and seeing daylight I take naps before working. I work 5 nights during the week. And every other weekend.i moved from 2 areas to less than a area so I'm trying to rebuild my gardens. I'm living in a old house which is a challenge but one i enjoy. I'd like to be more self contained so as fall is coming here in North Carolina I'm getting ready for colder weather I have to put in a woodstove and have my roof retooled. So my time spent with you is refreshing thank you.

    Hiding behind perfection is so true. Recently I had to restart my home business because we moved country... from a big port city in Croatia to German countryside in Hessen. As much as this is so inspiring, I keep getting side-tracked with completely irrelevant details, thinking that it won't be good enough. Hopefully I can find a way to surpass this. Thank you for sharing this with us, it helps to see things from another perspective =)
