I don't think Anyone would be upset by you mot answering every comments ! You have the rigth to Do as you please, you give us so Much in your vidéos 😘😍 take care
No need to reply ,glad you are back Vivi .
The energy we have is so individual but the computer is such an energy drain .
I work in my garden in all the good weather ,getting ready for winter but that fresh air and sunshine always do wonders for my mental health. I too am a creative soul but I need to be doing during the daylight hours and the evenings are for reading - no computer two hours before bed because that affects my sleep and no devices in the bedroom just books🥰
Lovely to see you back Vivi 😊 The break from social media seems have done you the world of good. I'm glad you're taking care of yourself and making these positive changes to make things easier for you!
Oh, girl. You do not owe any of us an explantion or justification for anything! You are divine! I get so much from spending time with you. Sour people just like being offended. Love from NorCal.
Guilty of being wordy but only bc I love and trust you. Glad you are setting boundaries and asking for your needs and guarding your energy. It’s a lesson for us all. Love ya dear Vivi.
I know....bless you lovely.
Vivi! Don't you dare worry about responding. :))))))))) We love you!
Glad you're back and looking well! I comment occasionally, but always felt guilty that you'd then feel the need to respond. Good decision 👍
Dear Vivi, so glad you are back and if you dont answer the messages then that's a small price for us to pay xxx
nice to see you again vivi 😄 take care 😘 and im ok with the change..its your channel 😁😘
People are strange - I've been subscribed to a guy who hasn't posted a video in 3 years, hoping he returns 🤣 Glad to listen to you while I work this morning. Happy Thanksgiving from Canada, glad to hear your voice again!
A planning session vlog would be great. I did long term planning 10 years ago. It involved working longer, getting a promotion to build superannuation, paying debt, buying a decent car and van, paying off the house. I also planned to have my own Avocado tree, it takes 10 years to fruit! OMG! It has hundreds of little avos budding right now - it is year 10. Hoping to get loads of fruit this time, got 3 last year.
lovely to see you back
Nice you are back ,Vivi .
Thank you. 😀
Vivi. I have 2 jobs and I completely understand how you felt. It's horrible feeling overwhelmed like that.
Selfishly though, I'm glad to see you back. 😘
Yay 😁 hello Vivi. Glad you are back and looking refreshed and full of beans.
So please to hear about your harvest.
Good to hear your plan for going forward.
I enjoy the interaction we have.
But it is good to have boundaries and take time out for yourself.
Lovely to watch your videos again and wishing you all the best
Hugs 🤗 xx
YIKES, i wrote re hoping growth continues, meaning channel growth, but of course I am rooting for your dreams, they sound lovely! 🌿🤞🏻💪🏻
Welcome back Vivi!
Fantastic update 👏 yes, take me on harvests 🥰🥰🥰
Nice to see you so relaxed. We all need to slow down on occasion.
I hear what you're saying and understand it perfectly. I must say your looking really well so you're doing something right.
So happy to see you. I will post comments, and read others, love to read others point of view. Love your comments too, but totally understand. Take care of you 💕
So glad you are back Vivi
Welcome back sweetheart. I am glad you worked on getting things sorted out. A lack of good sleep just wears you down. Do not ever worry about answering us all back. You are only one person. Be kind to yourself. If I want to talk longer or ask something I will just write you a letter. It is always lovely to get a letter in the post.
So glad you are back and well ! Missed you.
Welcome back! And as others have written, don't you ever worry about responding! Looking forward to seeing your harvests.
So glad you took some time for yourself.
You look so well 💛🌟💛
Glad to hear from you Vivi. I don't comment often and don't expect replies, but will comment more often to help your revenue. Glad the garden was plentiful even with struggles. Can't wait to see the squash.
So glad you're back
Vivi,you have worked really hard.Now maybe it’s just time to step back.You’re doing the right thing.👍
@@lindawilson8434 you obviously don't know Vivi....this woman is amazing with all she accomplishes! I'm shamed by my lack of movement, nothing in my life....Vivi is so creative, and such a kind and gentle person who gives and gives...I do hope you'll take the time to watch some of her videos. All the couch time, time in gardens, time making things for her shop, cooking and everything else under the sun. Wishing you the best :)
Aww so fabulous to see you again Vivi. I wholeheartedly recommend writing. I'm busy researching a mountain of background material, ready for my second novel. I'm still painting bookmarks & have now branched out into painting Christmas cards now too. I'm never happier than when, drawing, painting, writing or singing 😁 Have fun!
I thoroughly understand what you are saying. It’s way overwhelming to answer hundreds of comments and emails. Glad you took the time to sort out priorities for the sake of your health!! I think you will see a huge difference to your life now you lighten things up …your efforts and enthusiasm are valued.
Feel better !!
As always I look forward to your continued chats! Take care of yourself…you are treasured.
Love

Oh my goodness, it's compeltely understandable that replying personally is not possible. I'm only 13 minutes in, but feel compelled to comment. No wonder you were "swamped"!
So great to have you back.😊
I have missed you so much! So glad to see your smiling face!💗
Hey lovely, your well being is the most important thing, great to see you looking so rested & relaxed, many blessings.
Yay… Vivi’s back.👏👏👏👏👏lovely to see you. And in the nicest possible way I don’t need a reply👍😉😀 I would rather you sleep. Just a note I haven’t forgotten the vintage bits and pieces that I promised. Will sort them as soon as. Take care our Vivi.🙏😻❤️
Vivi, this is what I'd hoped to hear (except for the Achilles heel problem of course)...that the time off was spent 'recovering' from too much social media pressure. Glad you have returned and have plans to make it easier for you. I've been following a YT channel for years who has *never* commented on videos and her channel has chugged along fine. I like the little heart comment that YT has added for content creators. Sorry I'm long-winded in comments, that mirrors real life haha.
Nice to see you again! Thank you for coming back, I really enjoy your videos, I admire you . Best wishes all the way from Georgia
Nice to see you again, Vivi! Glad you had a nice time off.
We are still “digging out” & fixing things here. Our schedule is “willy-nilly”. Thank you for sharing your “schedule” journey. You’re an inspiration & motivation. 🙂👍
So very glad you are back , missed your content .

Missed you and your chatter accompanying me as I do my house work!
We all need time to “pull up the drawbridge” every now and again, illness drew me there last year and after a while I added 25 minutes Pilates each evening and off to bed by 10 and I am sleeping so much better now, I usually waken 3 or 4 times but I get back off to sleep quite quickly, I’m practically a new woman 😊
I am going to reintroduce yoga to my day for the same reason! X
Welcome back Vivi , happy your time off was so productive for you 😊
You have done exactly the right thing Vivi! Making space in your life for new & exciting things is top priority! I’m definitely going to try some of the things you’ve changed in order to improve your sleep, as I do struggle. Take care x
Well done Vivi for listening to your body's needs 👏 Be blessed mxxx
Welcome back. Glad your sleeping has improved. It will help you in so many ways.
I am so glad to see you back looking refreshed. I missed your videos.
Welcome back
Happy you are back. I have watched loads of your old content so I still had my fix of Vivi.❤
So lovely to see you again and thank you for your wise words.
Glad your back Vivi, so happy you have had a rest. Sally
Hi glad you are back...missed you
How nice to have you back again Vivi! It’s like the return of a friend. The time flew by listening to you sharing your thoughts. Just do whatever feels right for you and what makes you feel happy. We all need time for ourselves and not to be overwhelmed
Lovely to have you back, Vivi. I think it's an excellent idea about the comments. It was a lovely of you to do it, but as you say, just not practical anymore. Good luck with the new plans!
You’ve been doing life! Very good! Perhaps an idea for consideration is just placing a heart at the end of reading the comments and only reply to ones that you feed is necessary. Like I don’t need a reply to this post !
Well done to taking a break. Glad to see you back
Thanks ever so much for coming back so soon 🎉
Lovely to see you back Vivi! I was astonished that you ever responded to all your comments. I thought it was crazy and couldn't imagine how many of your precious hours you gave away. Life is too short for this.
😊 thank you
Glad you're back. Haven't watched the entire video yet but can't wait to watch it all.
Hi vivi glad your back ❤
Lovely to hear your taking stock and reshuffling
You will make a great writer ❤
So happy to see you back, Vivi!
Vivi I never expected you to respond ! ❤
Good to see you looking so refreshed and to hear that you are getting to grips with changing your sleep patterns. As a life-long insomniac I know how hard it is. I try to go to bed before midnight but often it edges closer to 1 a.m. (or later), and even then it can be hard to "drop off". In some ways it doesn't matter that much as I live alone and am retired so don't have any pressures on my time but I can see that you do need to make the most of daylight hours with the garden. Good idea to drop the "answering every comment" commitment too, and starting to look ahead to when you give up the garden and have a bit of time to get back to some old interests (writing) and maybe some new ones too. Wishing you well.
Hi Vivi! So glad you are back. It was going cold turkey that did me in. Happy to hear you have benefited from your time away. 🌟
Hi Vivi. I am so happy to hear your are well. I absolutely love your channel and you! I believe you have been very inspirational for myself in living a frugal, practical, fulfilled life while fully embracing simplicity. I cannot wait for your new home. Thank You for all you have given me! Love Kerry Grace.
Thank you so much!
You look more rested Viv
Aw lovely to see you back! You must do what is best for you Vivi ❤
Yay! We missed you!
Oh Vivi lovely to have you back misssed you xxxx
Glad you are back, you look rested, good for you!
Glad to see you back.
Fantastic that’s exactly what you need quiet healing soul support you go girl great to see you back on form 🤗🥰
Early to bed, early to rise, makes one healthy, wealthy and wise.
Hi vivi
The main thing is that you are ok
Never mind Answering the comments people will understand
Glad you are back I’ve missed you
Take care xx❤️❤️❤️❤️
well done for coming up with a good plan going forward, success always leads to change
Thanks you for talking about this. I have been for the past year, when I go to bed and watch UA-cam till 4 or 5 pm. Then I sleep to 1 pm. Which is ridiculous as you know. I have so much to do to get my apartment in order, sort my fabric, get things in place and in order. I have been on this binge for over a year. I definitely need to get my home in order, sew, cross-stitch, embroidery, and knit/crochet items. First youtube needs to be only the programs that are creative, forget all the other stuff, except our weather person. Facebook needs to go except for family. Get my life undercontrol and get creative. I will ask and pray that God will guide us in the right way he wants to go or do for us and others. Love you, wish you the best and great health.🙏👍❤😊🌻
Wonderful to see you again I'm enjoying your presence. You don't need my permission it's your life I encourage you to enjoy it to the fullest 👍😃😃😃😃🌈
💕so happy to have you back😊😊😊
Yay Vivi 🎉🎉🎉 sounds like you had some quality time with yourself!! I might take a note from your sleep routine as I’ve been struggling terribly with my sleep. Time for a book 📚 Glad you are well!
Lovely to see you again. It sounds as if your stars have aligned to point you toward writing again. I love it when things like that happen. How wonderful for you!
It's so good to see you. You look happy and well rested. We all need that quiet "me" time. I myself had taken some time off from "watching" my You Tube channels. I've done some crocheting and more Bible reading lately. And, it makes perfect sense that you can't continue responding to "all" comments. I for one completely understand. Our lives are always revolving from one chapter to the next. I can see that this time off was good for you. Luv & Hugs❤
There’s our gal! Hi! 👋
Oh Vivi, I’m so glad to see you back. Your bubbly, positive, enthusiastic attitude has soooo been missed. I’m so happy that you have made so many exciting changes in your life and I can’t wait to see what you do next! ❤
Vivi you look rested the time off was very good for you. Trying to think of your videos as your reply to us, so unless its some really pressing read the comments and just give a thumbs up. I'd love to see you write a children's book you did such an excellent job on the Facebook story a few years ago. Take care and don't answer I know you've read it.
creating new habits takes commitment and time. I stopped turning on the tv and radio, but tend to have my iPad on alot. music, news, research, catchup. white noise, company. But using it for company.
So glad to see you back.!! Do what makes you happy!!!!!!. Xxxxx
Absolutely no need for a reply! Glad you re getting sense! ❤️😂🌺
Great to see you again! Hope someone gifts you with transport, at least for a while. I'd love a golf buggy myself!
So glad you’re back , I missed you !
I've been enjoying your storytelling for years, I keep coming back for the drama! Can Vivi with gammy legs grow her own food? Will Vivi's hatred of plastic jeopardize her frugal lifestyle? Will the slugs, foxes, rodents, weeds, rain, drought destroy the harvest? Will Vivi catch COVID from the cats? Will Vivi include the value of her knees into the cost of the produce? Will Vivi's sister save her from herself? LoL, but also, I've really understood how to grow things from all the gentle good advice given here on this channel! 💖
So glad to see you again, Vivi! What a wonderful video! Very inspiring. I think I will plan to "unplug" for a weekend just so I can ponder a bit and explore some possible changes in my own life. Thank you!
Anne
So happy you're back! Sure missed your videos!
Great to see you back, I don’t blame you easing off with the replying to comments it’s just nice to hear what you have to say. Heather
I came off FB for six months as got so round-up with awlful things I saw. I go on rarely now but at least have contacts.
So difficult but maybe you need a change and more security with some regular money. Maybe just do one blog a month or fortnight? X
Great to see you back❤
I too need more time. I'm in a bit of a tizzy myself. I think I need to make time for myself as well. Vivi, thank you for reminding me to be kind to myself.
Buy a Sad lamp. Get some nice scents. Ensure you have enough vit and mins if occasional low moods
Your energy is up!! Glad to have you back.
You seem so fresh and put together. Glad you took time for yourself and happy you are back again.
