sister i watched your one video where you were very emotional and saying that you are not a born nomadic. that time i cried with you and prayed to God for some happiness to your life. and today i found your video. smiling vibrant..full of energy...really happy to see you happy. stay blessed...your younger sister from India. ❤🍁...
You're so sweet, Neha! Thank you, dear ❤️ Much love to India 🤗
Dear Ana, seeing an empty drawer and having no urge to fill it is truly a benchmark. That is when you know minimalism has gone deep within your DNA! (Just lighthearted fun!) Wishing you both happiness in your new home. 🌷
Thank you, dear Rowanne ❤️
Your new hair cut is cute. That style looks good on you. It's very important to have a place of sanctuary where you feel safe and at home. I'm glad you have found yours.
Thank you so much, Sharon ❤️
You look so happy. I’m glad you found a new place to call home; it looks very spacious. Have fun with your crafts!
Thank you so much, Ruthann ❤️
You have so much joy on your face. It has been a long journey to get to this place of peace, satisfaction, and a baseline to jump off into new things that are creative, fun, and enlightening. We introverts/empaths need an island of safety; a baseline of stability. For us that often means home; a stable, pretty, predictable home.
I am TRULY, TRULY SOOO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH! You deserve a safe, loving, warn long-term home and I'm intentionally manifesting the same for myself. 🙏✨ Your video gives me hope and strength. Thank you, Ana, for always being you, raw, honest, gentle and TRIUMPHANT!
I completely agree that consumption is for creation! We sleep to wake. We eat to move. We collect to create. We receive to share. I’ve been moving toward this mindset a lot recently.
Love this comment.
yes!! that resonates w me too
You are GLOWING like I haven't seen you before! The kitchen aisle is looking so gorgeous
There is a sparkle in your eye that I didn’t see in your last video. Now it’s time to nest in your new home. Happily. ❤
Hello Dear Ana! I am so darn happy for you and Brian! Your new apartment is lovely. The feeling of stability that comes from staying in one place will release stress and bring peace to your life. 🤗
It would be good news that this home will be yours, not as long as you need, but as long as you choose.
That new home came at the perfect time for you both, Ana. Time and the space to enjoy it. Stretch out your body and mind, and let creativity flow. I love the idea of minimalism, yet love to create and have what I create around me. Imagine your beautiful art arranged together on a wall, to enjoy and make you smile! So, I am not a minimalist...so what? I do cut my own hair, tho...Covid"s gift to me. Now I can have a new hairdo whenever I desire! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! You and Brian have most certainly earned it!
Congratulations! You look so young. I find your videos comforting.
It looks like you and Brian landed in a lovely space and so happy for you! I am seriously confronting my maximalist tendencies as we are moving in May and I am doing a serious downsizing. Letting go of furniture, crafting supplies, clothes. Long overdue. I stopped buying newing things five years ago but never did a deep clean to get rid of the stuff I no longer used/loved/needed. Its nowhere as minimalist as how you and Brian live, but feels great to strip out the nonessentials. You are inspirational!
Thank you so much, Claire ❤️ Stripping out the nonessentials can be a lengthy yet still enjoyable process (once there's more freedom) 😊Wishing you all the best!
Dearest Ana so happy you have both found such a lovely spacious place where you feel comfortable & calm. ❤ 🙏 have a wonderful week ahead 🙏😘
"To make, to think, and to be. " Love that as almost a definition of "home " ❤
I love the idea of consumption in order to create. That idea will be simmering in the warmth of my soul today...🙂 I'm so glad you and Brian have found a lovely home and safe space. Enjoy it. ♥️
active consumption and consuming to create... this is such a great way to phrase it! ive struggled with homelessness and financial insecurity for years, so its been hard to harness what i want to do with my art. theres a balance in everything. thanks for sharing your story with us ana! you make a difference ❤
A few years ago I taped a note to my credit card that said “a life of fulfillment,” to remind me how I wanted to use my resources.
Love this! And now will think of something like your note for my spending routine 😊
So nice to see your joy and relief in your new home. Consuming to create, that’s a good approach. I’ve always kept a journal/planner/notes book. I don’t use my phone or apps for this and really enjoy creating my own daily pages with paint and coloured pencils, collage, etc. This time is my daily calm and creative time with no distractions. Blessings to you.🐇💜
With your new haircut and red sweater you remind me of Amélie, nice look! 😄👍
Dear Ana, so glad that you and Brian have a new nest! May your love and creativity surround you as you get to know your community... Thank you for this video and for sharing your insights. A hug from Miami. ☀️💕
Thank you so much, Marsha ❤️
your new flat is beautiful, Ana! I am so happy for your new adventure. I am embracing on my own new adventure, as well. At last I am moving back to my beloved Hawaii! I leave tomorrow. I am very trilled and happy to be starting this new chapter of my life! It feels quite liberating
Wishing you the best of luck with your new life chapter, Jazzie ❤️
Hi Ana, I'm so happy for you & Brian as home should be somewhere we can truly be ourselves, a comfort zone & haven. Take care ☺
Thank you so much, Suzanne 😘
Wishing happiness in your new life be safe
You are such a sweet person. So happy for you on your new home. It's nice to see someone appreciate what they have, and not need to pursue more and more stuff. Life is much more than the stuff we accumulate. I am 68 and have decluttered so much stuff that I found I didn't need. It was a waste of my time and resources. A lesson learned late in my life. You are far ahead of me. God bless you and Brian, and your new home. ❤ p.s. love your hair!
Thank you, Mary ❤️
Ana so articulate once again on this topic. I try to get rid of excess stuff and not buy more except for art supplies!!
I'm glad you found a long-term flat (from what I can see, it looks lovely😊) to feel safe and content, your smile says a lot. Best of luck to the both of you ❤
Oh, thank you so much, dear Anita 🥰 Sending love and gratitude your way.
Hey Ana, congratulations to your and Brian‘s new home! It’s wonderful!
Thank you, dear friend ❤️
Congratulations for your haircut and new home! ❤
I am so happy for you! You know you look just like Amelie ( my favorite film) after your haircut😊😊
Aww, it's a very flattering compliment! Thank you, Estathia ❤️
This flat looks very nice, I'm very happy for you ! I hope you can settle a little ! Consumption... I don't have the money for it anyway ahahaha so no risk ! But I don't lack anything at all so it's not really a problem. I would like to be able to travel more, that's the only thing I really miss. I use the thing I have, I'm more an optimalist than a minimalist, I'm gratefull, I buy something only if the one I use to have is broken or thorn, I bought one thing in december : a carrot gratter to eat more raw carrots, but I was thinking about it for 2 years... and in january I bought a bunch of sustainable and long lasting tights as the one I had were all worn out ! I don't need anything in february... my money is for eating and paying bills. But I have lots of things I love... I can make me a latte in a nice cup and listen to music on YT with my phone, watch the landscape through my window in an old danish thrifted armchair with one of my grandma's embroidered cushion and my cat... isn't life perfect ?
Dear Anne-Cecile, this sounds like a wonderful life indeed! Smiling warmly ❤️😊
A long time ago I read a book called “Consuming Faith” about how people who believe in God have a responsibility to spend wisely and not fall into the consumerism trap that our materialistic societies want us to. It woke me up.
Ana, I am SO happy for you and Brian! What a lovely home you have, where you can create wonderful things.😊❤️🌵🐾
Hello Ana! So good to see you! Look at all the open space in this new place! Much room for dancing 💃🎶! I agree that there is no need to buy more stuff just because you may have space for it.(Guilty) Writing paper is a must. Craft supplies are a must, but craft items seem to multiply and scatter, and must be minimized and controlled. That's what was on my mind when I went to bed last night. So, today I am heading out to find a small chest of drawers to replace all the small storage boxes I've collected for supplies over the past year. This will make everything accessible while being confined to one space beside my desk.
It's a great tip to keep the supplies under control! 😍 And haha, I'm afraid I'm not a good dancer at all 😅
A lot of happiness to you dearest Ana and to Brian and to all of your beloved ones -Thank you for sharing and inspiring♥!
Yaaayyyyy, Ana! I’m so happy for you!! 🥲🙌🏼 Can’t wait to see how you experiment. I hope your crisis passes quickly and that only what is needed and helpful is left behind. There has to be rest and space for healing. It takes our nervous systems a while to relax, let go, fall apart, receive the hope in our mind and move forward. Wishing you both the best and most healing time.
Aww, thank you so much, dear friend! 🌷❤️
This is absolutely wonderful news for you and Brian and for your subscribers who are rooting for you. Yeah. 🎉🎊 It's so nice to know where you will be able to stay for a longer time. 🥰 From what I can see, it looks like a beautiful apartment.
Thank you, my friend! It is beautiful indeed 😊
I'm glad you have a new place. 😊 Could you make a video about your favorite books?
Dear Ana. I am so happy that you found a safe place with Brian. It’s a lovely place. I think I never appreciated that I always had a safe place to life. So this year I will try to appreciate my house and surroundings more mindfully and thankfully. All the best for the future ❤
This is such a wonderful intention of gratitude! ❤️
I've recently started making cold process soap and while it's possible to buy so much for this hobby, I'm finding more enjoyment from using oils and herbs that I already have at home to experiment. I have bought a few things, but I think what I really want is to get a good understanding (through experimentation!) of how the ingredients I already have work and then buy a few more things strategically that I think will compliment them. I've made about 15 lbs of soap so far and I think I need to find friends to give some away to lol.
So happy for you two! Enjoy this new chapter 😊❤️
Ana it is music to my ears to hear you have a long-term living situation. Praying such joy and room for healing for you. ❤
Ana, what a beautiful new space/home! I can feel the joy I see on your face, and am so happy for you. I envy your artist’s eyes, your vision, your depth of character in welcoming change. May you and Brian (Bryan?) grow together in love, creativity, light, and spirit. I wish you two nothing but love. Always. ❤
You're always so kind, Julie ❤️ Thank you! (and yep, it's Brian😊)
Have a wonderful day Ana
Thanks Liam, you too!
I like your new do, you look like Amelie ❤❤❤
I loved when you said you feel taken care of in your new surroundings. So happy for you and your partner.
Congratulations on your new place. I loved the picture booth pictures of you and your husband at the beginning of the video. Very sweet.❤
I have had that same box of Blackwing coloured pencils for several years now. Not only are they lovely to use, but they remind me of drawing with my niece when she was little. We made a book together of silly things - that you might be called a “ninny” (short for nincompoop) for. For example, there’s a page of ankles and shoes but the socks are odd, a cartoon series where we did a Christmas themed treasure hunt together but couldn’t claim our prize because we lost our ticket, and there’s a drawing of a foot stepping on a Lego brick and the throbbing aftermath. She now has a love for quality stationery and pens/pencils 😂. I think what I’m saying is that I agree with you - consumption that enables you to create or enjoy little moments in life - like a lovely mug or a cushion you made yourself - is a blessing.
Beautiful new space to settle into! 🩷
You inspire me! When I saw your hair it reminded me of the beautiful feeling I got from watching the film Amélie.... full of love, curiosity and happiness
Dear Ana,
Drago mi je da ste ptonašli vaše parče neba,tj.stan po vašem ukusu.Nemoj se opterećivati s minalizmom u kupovini malih sitnica za dom,jer je to ono što će ga činiti posebnim za vas.
Voli te Nena.❤❤❤
I'm so happy for you and also for Brian.nothing but the best for your future☺️ I watch every Video and you will always have my support
Congratulations on your new home (long-term rental). It looks lovely and feels, from over here, like a wonderfully nourishing and grounding resting spot for you both. ❤
Love your channel so much. Its so calm and simple without any minimalist aesthetics. Its so realistic and calming!
Congratulations on your new home! I wish you the best and every happiness. Take care and be well.
I'm so happy for you both to have some safe harbor, where you can cerate, love and share your life for now. Create plenty of happy memories there. ;)
Thank you, Ana, for your sincerity and inspiration! I’m turning 40 next month and beginning to embrace this age and all my past experiences, also trying to be grateful everyday for all that life has given. I am a bit in a different dynamic than yours as a mom of 3 little children but I still strongly resonate with you and your thinking. Greetings from Transilvania, România! 🇷🇴 😊
You have my admiration as a mom, dear Catalina 🌷 Greetings to Romania from Georgia!
Dear Ana, wow your new place looks beautiful and spacious, can'twait to see what creativity you are going to share with us❤. Wishing you and Brian so much happiness and fun in your new surroundings. Big hug Gale xxx PS great haircut and your beautiful jumper, love it❤

All the blessings for your new home and chapter in life!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am sending you and Brian safety protection, home, love and peace for 2024 ❤
Happy for you and Brian finding a lovely home wish you blessings in it thank you dear Ana for your video
Thank you, dear Margaret 🥰
@@anagoldberg Ana I struggle with being consistent I make great plans and continue to let myself down the 3 main things I’m trying to improve on is healthy eating exercise and home making if possible can you shed some light on why I continue to fail in these 3 areas thank you 🙏🏻
Happy for you Ana and Brian that you found a nice place. Would love to see a tour of it.❤
There is a tour on Patreon, FYI. If you can afford to join, it's a nice space ❤
It was wonderful to see how well you are doing and to see some of your new home. It looks like you have a good deal more room to spread out in your current living arrangement - spaciousness is a gift we sometimes do not appreciate - it is also true that having a smaller, snug space can be wonderful - I suppose ones current state of mind can determine which is better in any given moment.
I also wanted to say that I celebrate your not having a video a week ago, especially if it was a healing break from producing a video every week. It also might have assisted you and Brian getting settled into your new place, without the pressure of creating a new video. As always, you offer a good deal of insight this week, which I am taking to heart and deciding how I might incorporate some of those ideas into my life. All the best as you settle in, and as you continue to discover how you desire your life to be in this moment. Peace and Blessings.
Dear Willowbei, thank you for your heartwarming words and for being so attentive and understanding 🌷
Your apartment Is so cuteeeeeeeee!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ana I love your new apartment. It is really beautiful. I hope you can live there for a long while. Thank you for your inspiration on living both a minimalist & beautiful lifestyle.🙏🏽💕
Thank you so much, Krystal ❤️
Love ur look!!!!!
Thank you 😊
Happy for your new beginning. Wish u and Brian all the best🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much, Rene ❤️
This video is extremely thought provoking… I am moved by your words and feel inspired. That’s why I follow your channel I guess. I appreciate the quality and insightful discourse you provide. I think about what you say for a long time afterwards. Hopefully this means I actively consume your content 😊 be safe
It's so sweet of you to say this, my friend. Thank you ❤️
I just flew in virtually from my favorite Polish nomad. Well she is a nomad in Poland but actually she's Dutch. And she made me think of you. She said something about calmness. And I remembered that I saw your video this morning when I didn't have time to watch it. I am glad that you have found a place to settle for a while. It looks very nice.
I'm not a minimalist I think I'm a packrat. I don't have money so I don't buy a lot but I did buy two pairs of leggings with fleece lining and water resistant so that when I go out to get the ducks up and they don't want to get up I can sit down and I won't freeze my little rear end off. Well I bought one pair and then I liked them so I bought one more. Hopefully winter will be over soon but at least tomorrow morning I won't be freezing. Apparently I have a problem with pants. I don't like pants I hate buying pants I hardly ever buy pants and I have tons and tons of clothes leftover from Boston which I pulled out of my closet this week a couple of them. None of them were pants. One was like a sweater but it was like sweatshirt except it buttoned down the front and it had pretty painting all over it. I bought it in Rockport Mass like maybe 25 years ago. And it's been in the closet. I have three others but I can't find them. Maybe they are in the closet in my brother's room. But this one is pretty and cozy and I was able to not have to turn on the heat for most of the day. We don't have heat actually but I have a space heater my brother bought me. Last year or the year before when it was so so cold in Florida and it's cold again. But it was going to be cold for days on end and it was colder than this.
I don't throw my things away because I never had that much money that I could just go replace things. Although I should do something with my size 7 tightly bodiced dresses. No matter how much weight I lose I'm never going to be that thin in the middle again. Right now they're in a closet in the hall. What difference does it make? If I clear out space in the closets my brother will fill it up with all kinds of things. I've known this since I was 17. Although most of the time we did not live in the same house or even the same state. A random thought, the camera in my duck house died and my brother bought a new camera. It was hard for 2 days to not be able to see my ducks in the backyard without going outside through the sliding glass door which is really old and jams all the time. He says it's my fault that it jams but it's not. It's just old. My mother was going to get a new one but she wanted to put it on the credit card for $2,500 and I told her we don't do that unless we have $2500 or it's an emergency. So the door needs to be fixed. It's jammed yesterday and I couldn't get it shut for hours. It has little wheels and I think they are broken or the track is broken or something. Anyway now I can see my ducks again and check on them when I am not outside freezing my little rear end off. By the way my rear end is still little. Doesn't it figure? I would gain weight everywhere else but there is still no padding for me to sit on. Thankfully I no longer have to squeeze myself into people's cars where they make me sit on the hump because I am the smallest one. I don't even know if cars still have humps. They did back in the '80s. I'm going to look at my ducks and see whether the beautiful blue and white one is still sitting on the floor or has gone up on one of the shelves again where it might be warmer. They are laying eggs in all of the little plastic bins that I put out for them. I don't know whose eggs are whose. Oops. But at least I guess they understand where the eggs go. I don't like them to lay eggs out in the yard because then they will want to sleep in the yard and then they might get attacked by raccoons or something else. And it is hard to move their nests. But now I think they know where the eggs go. There is only one new duck who has not laid eggs before. The one on the floor. Hopefully she will figure out the program. She is so beautiful. She looks like her father but female with beautiful white wings and her back is all gray underneath the wings and her tail is darker gray but they call it blue. Hopefully they are sleeping because it is night time but my ducks don't sleep all night. They sleep when they want to. At least they don't make a lot of noise. And they don't quack because they are Muscovy.
Everyone is up on a shelf now.
I love you! Enjoy your new space!
Looking forward to discovering Tbilissi and Georgia thanks to you. sandrine, france
Congrats on your guyses new home!! It’s great to have the space to be still, and to have the time to integrate your experiences, and to shape a new you.
Thank you so much!
Dear Ana. I am pleased for you that you've found a reasonably secure place to live. It looks nice. Make it your home. I am not really a "consumer" anymore, because I don't have the money. I only buy what I absolutely need. But I am secure in where I live - yes, it's a rental. I've lived here for 4 and a half years now. I joined a community garden close to where I live, and I planted a lot of seedlings. Now I mostly get my vegetables from this garden. That is my way of being creative.
I think it a beautiful way to be creative, Christine 🌷❤️
So happy for you guys! Greetings from Finland
I'm so happy for you, dear Ana. Your new home looks just delicious and wonderful. I hope it's the space that will allow you to heal the traumas you've endured over these years and will be a safe container to dream your new life into all its glorious existence! Love and hugs from Hawaii to you and Brian 💚
Thank you, dear friend! Love back to Hawaii ❤️
Congratulations on your new home Ana. It looks lovely. I’m so happy for you.

SO very happy for you Ana. Beautiful
