Hi, Lea! I live in Brazil and I thank God for having found a sister in Christ who, even far away, is used by God and has helped me a lot with her videos about the importance of taking care of our home and being grateful. God bless you Lea
It is true. Some days, it includes scribbles-- I mean, artwork-- by your 2 year old on the walls. Some days it means the dog jumps through the brand new window screen that just got replaced. Some days the responsibility is heavy. But remembering that each action, each room, each act of service is not about the house itself, but about pointing those IN your home to Christ- that's what keeps me going day after challenging day. To God be the glory.
So true Eden!!! Just the other day we cleaned toothpaste off the wall and carpet. My 3 year old decided she'd decorate her room with it, haha. But I'm thankful to have her and the mess to clean up.
I so love your channel. I am the widow that wrote you a few years back in the throngs of grief. The 6 year anniversary will be here on Valentine's day. 😢 Just watching your videos and hearing your voice and the 'way' you tell a story makes me feel like Jesus is sitting right here, next to me. This by far is the BEST channel on UA-cam. Why? Because God IS inside every bit. ✝️💯❤️
First, I am so incredibly sorry for the grief and loss you have experienced. I pray that God has given you the peace that surpasses all understanding. Second, your kind comment truly made my evening special and encouraged my heart, thank you.
This is the first time I've seen one of your videos. I must say is inspiring and beautiful. Just remember if you have children or when you do have children. They remember what's going on inside the house. The time spent with their mother, home cooked meals at the table as a family. Just the one on one time with their mom. They don't care what the house looks like on the outside. They just care about the love
I was just scrolling about deseeding dried dill off stalks and came across your beautiful site. Thank you, for this The Heart of Homemaking. It's just what I needed. I have been feeling quite lost for a while now and have only just started making my way back or rebirthing to a new me. I am watching this at the end of the evening and just listening to your voice and not judging yourself has me even more peaceful. God bless you and all who are following you. Thank you.💖💫
Tonight, you have no idea how much I needed this. I had breast cancer that spread to my liver years ago. I did survive after two bone marrow transplants but it left me with many health issues. I want so much to be able to do things. Especially now when I’m needed by my family who have been suffering with health issues. I just can’t keep up with everything. Yes, Gods grace is sufficient enough. 🥰~ Janet
When I heard those Words of Truth come out of your mouth I suscribed! We need the Lord now! More than ever with everything going on. Psalm 91 I stand on in peace, in His rest!I will praise Him in the storm & I am thankful for His Grace! Have a blessed life in Christ!
"A heart and desire to nourish your family - the best of what you can gather in that season of life" ~ your videos are great reminders of giving our best. And this is a cheerful reminder to me that our hearts' intention can go along way & even stretch out our material possession. Mustard seeds grow into 6-20 foot branch structures. #gratitude #stewardship #guardourgroundsfromcrows 🤗Thankful for you!
Lantern in her hand is one of my favorite books. First time I read it I was 12, and have reread it many times even at 73. You are a wise woman with words of encouragement. Thank you.
this is beautiful. I am a newlywed and I am constantly striving to create a home. But the simplicity shown in this video is amazing. Keeping Christ centered through it all. May God bless you and your family.
Thank you. Beautiful video, reminding us to see the good in all things and to have hearts of thankfulness to our Heavenly Father. I see Him in everything. Praise His Holy Name Forever. ✝️🌍❤️
This is both encouraging and convicting all at the same time (In a very good way). I know I grumble and complain about housework far too often. Beautiful videos like this help me to remember to be grateful that I have a home to clean and a husband and sweet pets to care for. I can definitely work on my attitude a lot. Thank you for the reminder, and thank you for the encouragement
Your story about your aunt touched me! I remember when I had an undiagnosed infection for over a year and a half and I had so much fatigue, I couldn't lift my head at times. When I finally got diagnosed and got the antibiotics and started healing, putting laundry away or doing dishes was SUCH a joy to me. I prayed that I would never lose that feeling. I'm not going to say it still feels that way every time, lol, but I can still remember those early days of being able to do tasks in my house again and how happy I was. There are blessings hidden in each task, and even just the ability to do them is such a blessing not everyone realizes or understands. Beautiful video! Thank you!
Thank you for this. I am struggling with a complaining spirit and resentfulness for staying at home and homeschooling. I get filled from people. I'm an extrovert and I am often lonely. So lonely. And my husband is a pastor so I feel isolated in that way too. I hate what I have slipped into and have been praying to love my blessings. I did before.. i dont know what changed in me to send me down this path. I feel weary. But thank you.This videohas been an excellent reminder about the heart of homemaking. It is about growing closer to christ and serving his children: my husband and children. Thanks for the attitude adjustment and pointing me back to Christ. You are in my prayers!
oh how I love and look forward to watching your beautiful & peaceful videos. I love the r3m8nders you share with us. Continue to only listen to the voice of TRUTH...ABBA 🙏
Thank you so much I really needed to hear this tonight , I seem to be spending my days grumbling about all the things I have to do and people I need to care for I've lost sight of the Lords blessings, thank you for reminding me to take a closer look 🙏
So refreshing to come across a vlogger who keeps Christ at the center and holds humility and wonder in the beautiful task of homemaking. Thank you for sharing!
Your home is beautiful and your animals are wonderful. I love how you love them it's precious . You can tell a lot about a person in how they treat animals .You have a very tender gentle lovely soul . God bless you .
I needed to hear these messages. Somehow God has led me to find your channel. I have quietly watched and listened over the past week and am finding new things that He needs me to learn, a way of thinking that I had not been open to consider before. I think I cried through this whole video. I have tried so many times to make my home a peaceful sanctuary and the hustle and bustle that surrounds me constantly tells me that it is a futile exercise. I would give in and take the easier route of convenience to find myself stressed and frustrated. Your story of your aunt spoke to my heart. Thank you for sharing. I will be returning here to find the inspiration and motivation to keep walking the path that is not always easy or convenient especially when it comes to putting God and home first. God bless and keep you. ❤🙏🏼
I’m watching this as I’m folding laundry (one of my least favorite chores) and I’m thankful that you have reminded me to look at the positive in it all. You mentioned remembering that there was food on your plate when you wash it. And that you had the strength to stand. So I’m hoping to look at the positive more often and to thank Him for the blessings He has given me
Thank you SO much for this encouragement..I needed to hear that I'm not the only one who struggles with feeling like I'm failing, who compares my home and what I am able to do and not to with others. I struggle with my health. Just....thank you thank you for sharing this
I cannot tell you what a deep and timely blessing this video was to me tonight. Your words were exactly what I needed to hear,but did not know it. God led me to this. Thank you ever so much, sister.
I've watched this video and your home is so cozy and inviting. You have a lovely home. Every time I watch one of your videos It resonates love. Keep doing what you do and God's work!
Thank you for sharing this important message. I wasted so much of my adult life feeling like a failure. In our modern world it is not easy for a woman to live a simple, traditional life, but it is the right thing to do regardless of the persecution. Keep pressing on. God bless you and thank you for your channel.
A beautiful morning for me thanks to you,I'm crying as I watch this, I can thank you enough how much it means to me. So Beautiful Amazing Extraordinary.
Aw, thank you for this beautiful message, Lea. My home is not "Pinterest perfect", either. Your video is a wonderful reminder in this very frugal season for my husband & I, that if my house is a reflection of living for Christ then it is beautiful.♥️🇨🇦
I have gratitude for sweet Obie’s face during those hugs, and the memory of the hugs that Emma gave me while on this earth. And I am grateful for your gentle presence in my heart today. I love you sister.
Thank you so much for your beautiful Christ centered videos. I always end up crying by the encouraging words. Your reflections in this video were the exact thoughts I had after your video "Ordinary Days". To be grateful that we have dirty dishes and laundry. These are the result of God's faithful provisions of food and clothing. We don't "have" to do dishes...we "get" to do dishes because of God's blessings. Saying prayers and singing hymns while doing the mundane is always God glorifying. By the way...I love your house...it is perfect as it is...loved and lived in. Blessings to all you hard working home keepers!!
Yes homemaking at 70 years of age is nothing like it was when I first started as a newlywed at 24 years of age. Almost nothing is the same, except for one thing…. I’ve never stopped wanting beauty around me and Jesus at my side, all these years.
Your chicken in the house brought back warm memories of my goat in our kitchen when I was 11 (it was too chilly for it to be in the barn alone) and the 2 orphan lambs my mother-in-love raised in her kitchen for awhile. Blessings and peace to you!
Love these thoughts! I love homemaking too and I love to think of it spiritually. God , Himself is preparing a place for us. I think we will meet in Heaven . What a beautiful woman you are.
And this video is a reminder that as sister's in Christ I feel we are cut from the same cloth no doubt about it. 💖May God bless you and cover you in His mighty wings in Jesus' name. Amen
I love that you have a house chicken...my husband will find comfort in the fact that we are not the only civilized folks living with a feather child for the rest of winter. ❤❤
Pls pls pray for me.. I'm under sooo much condemnation.. Thinking I will never come bk to the Father but yet knowing He is waiting with open arms. God Bless you and countinue strengthing you so you can be uplifting in all you do. You bring me much grace thru the Lord with your simplicity and beauty in all you do n speak...🙏🏻
Oh my sweet friend. The Fathers arms are open wide and waiting. No matter where we have wandered, through Christ, we can confidently approach His throne of grace. I just know He is waiting for you to call out for Him in surrender. Many hugs.
God bless for your hard work as a homemaker. This video was so moving and beautiful. It brought me so much encouragement today. I am learning to trust God’s plan through every season. I know this sounds silly ( because I live in Texas, but I wish I could come over, share a cup of tea and swap stories about our kids and fur babies. Have a blessed Easter! Take care and thanks again!
I think all of your videos stir up in me the beauty of earthly home making along with that deep longing to be in our heavenly home. They are such a blessing, dear sister.
A tip for muddy paws ... keep a container with soapy water and a rag and just wring it out when the dogs comes in and wipe. Gets the paws really clean :)
Thank you for this post/video. I needed to hear this today. May Our Heavenly Father continue to bless you in your endeavors. May we always keep our eyes and minds stayed on Him.
These were such great, lovely and healing words. It was overwhelming and filled with the Holy Spirit. I am often so sad about myself, the more grace I have for others, the less I have often times for myself...I am I a process where I learn to love myself even when my house isn't that clean or anything else is not how I wanted them to be. God has mercy on us and so I want to love myself and become more and more like our Jesus. Thank you so much for your words and love. Much love and Shalom from Germany 💗🙏🏻
I really really want this slow life for myself. I was doing very good to live simply and do a lot more things myself before this plandemic started. Since It started, I work 60 hours a week and am always tired. I would like to have a large garden and do more preserving this year than I did last year. Last year my garden was almost nonexistent because of working so much. I have my seeds started and my garden planned out though. I am praying and trusting God to see us through what lies ahead and also give me the strength to get all of the work done despite how much I work.
What a beautiful and heartfelt insight into the essence of homemaking. As it is something I'm only starting to learn about, I'm realising more everyday that it really is an art. It's an art I hope to get better at.
Hi Lea, I want to thank you for making such lovely, heartwarming videos. As a fellow believer it is so nice to watch nice, pure content. You are such a lovely person. 😍
Oh, that made me cry...having dealt with health issues more often than not, I struggle to view my failures, weaknesses, shortcomings, etc. as ways to lean on my Lord and am more tempted to view them as a way to beat myself down...if anyone said I don't do enough in the homekeeping area, I'd agree...I don't feel like I do anything consistently enough. But gratitude....I remember thinking for the longest time, "I wish I lived a more "slow living" type of life"....and now I do. I've graduated from stay-at-home daughter (for the most part - I had a job for a while) to stay-at-home wife, and hopefully someday, stay-at-home mom....and until then? I can learn to look at each new learning curve, each change, each curveball as a chance to grow in the Lord and learn that even when I'm not faithful...He is. And He is faithful to see us complete in Him.
I needed to hear this I’m struggling a little bit to get rid of final clutter but I’m much better than I was I’m grateful although theirs room for improvement in my home and my life god bless you Lea thank you
The way u described homemaking is Exactly the way we experience but can't describe. Home gives not only provides private space but also comforts us gives us warmth , be our own self. For me home is the extension of my personality. Not only 4 walls . Attitude of gratitude should be in each of us. Not taking nothing for granted.
I would take a tiny quaint abode with muddy paw prints, doggy window art work and Furr balls in every corner over a big spotless home with white furniture any day! I come to your channel for your beautiful spirit and the gentle reminders to be thankful and grateful and blessed for even the every day mundane things of our lives. ❤️❤️
Thank you Lea. Appreciated this in a completely different way tonight. I desperately want this 'quiet,' this day-by-day patience that emanates from your vids. I'm exhausted from ... well so many things. It's a challenge when you feel like you can't even really stop long enough to try to think it through and be intentional about changing some things. Elohim is gracious. I covet quiet.
I love that your house looks the way it does. I get very annoyed at the videos and pinterest photos of the perfect homes. Especially the kitchen. Because I know it is fake. No way are some of those kitchens used everyday with all that decor sitting around in the way. I love that your pots that you cook in do not look like they just came off the store shelf, because it shows that you really use them as they are intended to be used. In other words, I love your honesty about your life. It is just an inspiration to all of us homemakers. I adore your house on the mountain side and am amazed you have been able to do so much with it. Such a wonderful example you set for young and older women to be inspired by. Thank you for that. And I would love a video on fictional books you like to read. Like the one in this video. so many trashy books out there.

The sweet little chicken in the house is so precious. I just love her noises she makes.
I praise the Lord for your soul and this channel. I listen to your video sometimes three times. They bless me so much. Thank you 🙏 ❤
Your ministry means the world to me. May God continue to bless you

Halleluyah! I needed to hear this,Yahuah is Good! I THANK YOU! Cry out to Yeshua!
She is a gift to many...I hope she always remains the same wonderful gift from God!

I found the book used and it's my first time reading it 💛😊
I feel like Lea should do a book club or reading list💕
Totally agree.
What is it about?!?!
Any book recommendations regarding being a homemaker?!?!
I love you and your little home on the mountain. It is perfect. God is there.
Beautifully said Lea ! Our world says go faster , do more, keep going . He says , slow down , do less , I am more !
this is beautiful. I am a newlywed and I am constantly striving to create a home. But the simplicity shown in this video is amazing. Keeping Christ centered through it all. May God bless you and your family.
Sounds like your heart is truly in it my sister. That's wonderful
This is what gratitude is, a simply life and live in the moment, and enjoy the moment
Thank you. Beautiful video, reminding us to see the good in all things and to have hearts of thankfulness to our Heavenly Father. I see Him in everything. Praise His Holy Name Forever. ✝️🌍❤️
Omgosh the her dog came over and hugged her ❤ priceless. Hugs to everyone from NYC
I pray for shalom in your home. Thank you for the encouragement. ❤️
3:33 “It is about stewarding the blessings you’ve been given with sobriety and purpose.”

Hello Kelly, how are you doing today
Beautiful 🍂
Thank you SO much for this encouragement..I needed to hear that I'm not the only one who struggles with feeling like I'm failing, who compares my home and what I am able to do and not to with others. I struggle with my health. Just....thank you thank you for sharing this
I cannot tell you what a deep and timely blessing this video was to me tonight. Your words were exactly what I needed to hear,but did not know it. God led me to this. Thank you ever so much, sister.
Glory to God
Am so glad I found you. Thank you for your honesty......and the black talkative chicken. God Bless
Such a beautiful reminder to all of us to thank God for all of our blessings 💗
I've watched this video and your home is so cozy and inviting. You have a lovely home. Every time I watch one of your videos It resonates love. Keep doing what you do and God's work!
Being a homemaker has given me such joy over the years. I am so grateful to be able to stay home and do what I love🥰
Love this and thank you for the much needed reminder of gratitude instead of complaining ❤. A good spiritual reminder is good for the soul
You made the right choice Lea that will not be taken away from you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I very much needed to hear all of what you spoke. Have a blessed day.
Thank you! Such a beautiful encouragement! 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
You made me feel so relax with your story your home and your dogs and chicken 🐓
Thank you for sharing this important message. I wasted so much of my adult life feeling like a failure. In our modern world it is not easy for a woman to live a simple, traditional life, but it is the right thing to do regardless of the persecution. Keep pressing on. God bless you and thank you for your channel.

A beautiful morning for me thanks to you,I'm crying as I watch this, I can thank you enough how much it means to me. So Beautiful Amazing Extraordinary.
What a beautiful video as usual.Thank you Leah.You inspire so many of us.❤️💜
Aw, thank you for this beautiful message, Lea. My home is not "Pinterest perfect", either. Your video is a wonderful reminder in this very frugal season for my husband & I, that if my house is a reflection of living for Christ then it is beautiful.♥️🇨🇦
I have gratitude for sweet Obie’s face during those hugs, and the memory of the hugs that Emma gave me while on this earth. And I am grateful for your gentle presence in my heart today. I love you sister.
I am sure you still miss precious Emma so much. 💛
@@LittleHouseOnTheMountain Every day. ♥️
Love you and the direction your lives are going. stay on track💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I love your Little House on the Mountain. Always a blessing to watch your videos. Have a blessed day♥️🙏🏻♥️🎄♥️
Hello Kathy, how are you doing today.
Amen amen amen ❤️
Thank you so much for your beautiful Christ centered videos. I always end up crying by the encouraging words. Your reflections in this video were the exact thoughts I had after your video "Ordinary Days". To be grateful that we have dirty dishes and laundry. These are the result of God's faithful provisions of food and clothing. We don't "have" to do dishes...we "get" to do dishes because of God's blessings. Saying prayers and singing hymns while doing the mundane is always God glorifying. By the way...I love your house...it is perfect as it is...loved and lived in. Blessings to all you hard working home keepers!!
Yes homemaking at 70 years of age is nothing like it was when I first started as a newlywed at 24 years of age. Almost nothing is the same, except for one thing…. I’ve never stopped wanting beauty around me and Jesus at my side, all these years.
So sweet and adorable. I have a lot of the same feelings/ struggles. I love your home! God bless you my sister in Christ!
Your chicken in the house brought back warm memories of my goat in our kitchen when I was 11 (it was too chilly for it to be in the barn alone) and the 2 orphan lambs my mother-in-love raised in her kitchen for awhile. Blessings and peace to you!
There's something sweet and special about bottle baby animals- they are the sweetest and most affectionate ❤️
I love watching your videos , they are peaceful , calming and relaxing.. and… i love how you always bring up God and Yeshua/jesus…
Beautiful video. Lord forgive me for complaining and help me to be the best wife I can be for my husband. 🙏💕
Love these thoughts! I love homemaking too and I love to think of it spiritually. God , Himself is preparing a place for us. I think we will meet in Heaven . What a beautiful woman you are.
Thank you from my heart for this video and your kind words! ❤
What a beautiful and inspiring sentiment! Thank you!!!
And this video is a reminder that as sister's in Christ I feel we are cut from the same cloth no doubt about it. 💖May God bless you and cover you in His mighty wings in Jesus' name. Amen
Amen… Amen ….. Amen…
I love that you have a house chicken...my husband will find comfort in the fact that we are not the only civilized folks living with a feather child for the rest of winter. ❤❤
I know! So cute! 💕
Pls pls pray for me.. I'm under sooo much condemnation.. Thinking I will never come bk to the Father but yet knowing He is waiting with open arms. God Bless you and countinue strengthing you so you can be uplifting in all you do. You bring me much grace thru the Lord with your simplicity and beauty in all you do n speak...🙏🏻
Oh my sweet friend. The Fathers arms are open wide and waiting. No matter where we have wandered, through Christ, we can confidently approach His throne of grace. I just know He is waiting for you to call out for Him in surrender. Many hugs.
God bless for your hard work as a homemaker. This video was so moving and beautiful. It brought me so much encouragement today. I am learning to trust God’s plan through every season. I know this sounds silly ( because I live in Texas, but I wish I could come over, share a cup of tea and swap stories about our kids and fur babies. Have a blessed Easter! Take care and thanks again!
I think all of your videos stir up in me the beauty of earthly home making along with that deep longing to be in our heavenly home. They are such a blessing, dear sister.
Thank you so much. Praise the Lord
Thankyou ,I feel very encouraged by this blog. May His fullness abound in you .
"Battling with the whispers of the enemy..." ~ beautiful challenging truth ♡ Bless
A tip for muddy paws ... keep a container with soapy water and a rag and just wring it out when the dogs comes in and wipe. Gets the paws really clean :)
Thank you for this post/video. I needed to hear this today. May Our Heavenly Father continue to bless you in your endeavors. May we always keep our eyes and minds stayed on Him.
This video left me speechless and with tears in my eyes!! Thank you for this precious message, I needed it so much! God bless you!
Thank you so much for watching. I am blessed that it touched you
Thank you Lea! Your Encouragement was sent By The Holy Spirit! God Bless you In Jesus Name!
These were such great, lovely and healing words. It was overwhelming and filled with the Holy Spirit.
I am often so sad about myself, the more grace I have for others, the less I have often times for myself...I am I a process where I learn to love myself even when my house isn't that clean or anything else is not how I wanted them to be. God has mercy on us and so I want to love myself and become more and more like our Jesus.
Thank you so much for your words and love.
Much love and Shalom from Germany 💗🙏🏻
God bless you sister in Christ 💓
The inside of your home looks beautiful & warm . I wouldn’t care if it doesn’t look good as my neighbors
Thank you for your wise words and peaceful video ☺️
I really really want this slow life for myself. I was doing very good to live simply and do a lot more things myself before this plandemic started. Since It started, I work 60 hours a week and am always tired. I would like to have a large garden and do more preserving this year than I did last year. Last year my garden was almost nonexistent because of working so much. I have my seeds started and my garden planned out though. I am praying and trusting God to see us through what lies ahead and also give me the strength to get all of the work done despite how much I work.
What a beautiful and heartfelt insight into the essence of homemaking. As it is something I'm only starting to learn about, I'm realising more everyday that it really is an art. It's an art I hope to get better at.
Hi Lea, I want to thank you for making such lovely, heartwarming videos. As a fellow believer it is so nice to watch nice, pure content. You are such a lovely person. 😍
I have watched this video over and over again. Thank you so much!!!!!
I'm truly honored
Oh, that made me cry...having dealt with health issues more often than not, I struggle to view my failures, weaknesses, shortcomings, etc. as ways to lean on my Lord and am more tempted to view them as a way to beat myself down...if anyone said I don't do enough in the homekeeping area, I'd agree...I don't feel like I do anything consistently enough. But gratitude....I remember thinking for the longest time, "I wish I lived a more "slow living" type of life"....and now I do. I've graduated from stay-at-home daughter (for the most part - I had a job for a while) to stay-at-home wife, and hopefully someday, stay-at-home mom....and until then? I can learn to look at each new learning curve, each change, each curveball as a chance to grow in the Lord and learn that even when I'm not faithful...He is. And He is faithful to see us complete in Him.
Hello joyfiled, how are you doing today.
I needed to hear this I’m struggling a little bit to get rid of final clutter but I’m much better than I was I’m grateful although theirs room for improvement in my home and my life god bless you Lea thank you
The way u described homemaking is
Exactly the way we experience but can't describe. Home gives not only provides private space but also comforts us gives us warmth , be our own self. For me home is the extension of my personality. Not only 4 walls . Attitude of gratitude should be in each of us. Not taking nothing for granted.
I feel so blessed to be a homemaker
❤️ This is beautiful, God bless you in Christ Jesus 🌻❤️❤️
I would take a tiny quaint abode with muddy paw prints, doggy window art work and Furr balls in every corner over a big spotless home with white furniture any day! I come to your channel for your beautiful spirit and the gentle reminders to be thankful and grateful and blessed for even the every day mundane things of our lives. ❤️❤️
You are blessed. I wanna thank you for all the inspiration!. Wishing a lovely February .
Kind regards from Greece🍀
You are a truly lovely person, I hold you in high esteem Lea 💐
I'm quite honored
Such a beautiful message! ❤Amen sister!!
I am in tears! This speaks to my heart! Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thank you!💜🌍💜🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Thank you Lea. Appreciated this in a completely different way tonight.
I desperately want this 'quiet,' this day-by-day patience that emanates from your vids.
I'm exhausted from ... well so many things.
It's a challenge when you feel like you can't even really stop long enough to try to think it through and be intentional about changing some things.
Elohim is gracious. I covet quiet.
I love that your house looks the way it does. I get very annoyed at the videos and pinterest photos of the perfect homes. Especially the kitchen. Because I know it is fake. No way are some of those kitchens used everyday with all that decor sitting around in the way. I love that your pots that you cook in do not look like they just came off the store shelf, because it shows that you really use them as they are intended to be used. In other words, I love your honesty about your life. It is just an inspiration to all of us homemakers. I adore your house on the mountain side and am amazed you have been able to do so much with it. Such a wonderful example you set for young and older women to be inspired by. Thank you for that. And I would love a video on fictional books you like to read. Like the one in this video. so many trashy books out there.
I love the moment when you and your dog give a soft true hug. How tender it is.
A lovely reminder to be grateful for what we have. I too grumble at things and I thank you for helping me to see things in another light.
