I can't understand anyone asking why you decorate and nest in your home if it's just a rental...rental or not, one month or one year, it's still "your home". Wouldn't you want to surrounded by your beautiful things and be comfortable?! Thank you for sharing all the beauty of nature with us, and Charlie. Blessings and love from Australia 💕✨
Thank you for watching : ) It's always funny to me, too. ... but I do have friends who really don't care about nesting in any way ... and I don't understand THAT, lol!! Have a lovely rest of the year!❤❤❤
I love color and beauty. I too am a renter but no one realizes it when they come to my house. Loved this video highlighting the best of the best. Way to go girlfriend! Count those blessings!
I think this is your most beautiful video yet. Your stunning videography paired with your reflective narrative truly showcases what a talented, aware individual you are. Thank you for sharing with us, both the highlights and the lows. I hope the new year brings you much joy and fewer challenges.
Lady, it has been a pleasure and delight to share 2023 with you, all the good and bad! It's life, and sometimes we have to decide whether to put on or take off our rose-colored glasses. I am so grateful for you and your sharing of your gifts and talents! I'm looking forward to 2024 with you and Charlie. Much love and blessings to you both!
What an absolutely stunning piece, you have out done yourself Kate, thank you for a year of wonderful viewing and reminding me to be mindful in my surroundings a joy to watch and listen to. Thank you ❤
I think that you've done very well with your life and the biggest reason I say this, is because you've built a haven for yourself. You also have an adorable little guy to share it with. You are creative and motivated. Self employed and like WOW! Time to explore and find special things that belong in your home. So much more. It's very enjoyable following you. I've gotten much inspiration for my own life from you. So thank you 🙂
Thank you, friend! I appreciate that!!!!! And I appreciate you being here : ) I hope you have a wonderful end to the year and start to. the new one!!!!!❤❤❤
Kate - A beautiful video. I don't pretend to know what challenges you have gone through this year ( besides the ticks, of course). I have admired how you look for the silver lining in situations and use nature as a healing balm. I wish a wonderful, lovely year for you going forward. Much love and smiles and hugs from Michigan to you and Charlie. Merry Christmas, my friend. Blessings - Judith 🎤🎭

Regardless of your personal struggles, your videos bring me joy and happiness. At 76 my days are numbered, but you make every one of them special. Thank you! ❤
I am 80 and watching your videos bring me so much joy and hope. I just sold my house and moved to an apartment because "everyone" told me I was too old to stay in that big house with the huge yard was too much for me. I moved to an apartment and I so regret it. I miss my house and yard so much. Where I live you can't really make it your home or haven because of all the rules. I guess I can live my outside life through your wonderful videos. Have a blessed Christmas from my and my little buddy Wyatt. He would love Charlie.
I wish I could give you the biggest hug ever! Put your arms around yourself and imagine this old lady giving you a BIG hug. I hope 2024 will be much, much better for you. Stay strong! ❤
I was blessed to have your channel come up in my feed early on. I haven’t missed a single one. Thank you for sharing that we can absolutely deal with our situations and still be grateful ❤️
I noticed that when you said how beautiful your year was, the common factor in your reel, was YOU Kate! You were present in each moment of your life. God, our Creator, has given us so much beauty around us. Many times we often forget to take a moment and embrace that. Keep being your wonderful, smiling self Kate! You seem to soak up the beauty of nature and capture that essence of it. Thank you for sharing your lovely videos and a small part of your beautiful life with us! Merry Christmas! ❤
Thank you so much : ) I appreciate your lovely comment. You are so right that it's easy to forget about the wonders around when times are tough. But it makes all the difference when we tune in : ) Sending you big hugs! ❤❤❤
I'm so glad I found your channel. You truly bring peace to my sometimes rattled world. I enjoy your videos so much. I've had some very hard times this year. One of our kitties had to spend a night in the hospital last week and it was horrible. She had some kind of infection and although she's still on medication, she is on the mend, thank God. I'm still exhausted. Life is very difficult sometimes but when I see a new video from you, it truly feels like I've gotten a call from a dear friend. Thank you for sharing your sweet life with us. You really are reaching a lot of people and you can never know how much good you are doing. God Bless!
I'm so glad your little kitty is on the mend now!!!!! It's so awful when our fur babies are not well!!!!! They are such precious parts of our lives. Thank you so much for being here and watching my videos : ) Sending big hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤
May you find peace in the promise of the solstice night, that each day forward is blessed with more light. That the cycle of nature, unbroken and true, brings faith to your soul and well-being to you.
I love your channel and it has gotten me through some very difficult times, especially the last 6 months. Of all the videos, the birds were the most amazing. I can't even express in words the beauty of the sight of all of them in flight, dancing to music we could not hear, but we were witnesses too. Thank you for an amazing year.
You bring calm into this insane world…you have anxiety you mentioned before.? Yet you bring calmness to me..I’m currently needing this! Ty sweetie.. prayerfully 2024 will bring you where your heart needs! Much love, Kat
Thank you for all your wonderful videos ❤. Whatever was going on in your life last year brought you to your wonderful amazing Cottage! And that is truly something to be forever thankful for!! 😊😊😊😊😊 Right? You remind me of myself ❤ I love everything Boho !! 😅 Please say you will continue to do videos😅 and MERRY CHRISTMAS !!🎄
What a year! Thank you for sharing your life and adventures with us! I may squeal a little bit when I see that you have a new video up 😊 -it is so wonderful to see how you are and reminding me to delight in all the little things that would pass by if I didn’t pay close attention. Here’s to a fantastic year next year filled with amazing adventures and a peaceful heart! ❤️ cheers from Wisconsin!
I pray you also know the peace that surpasses all understanding... that only comes from our amazing creator who has blessed us with his beautiful creations. 🙏🥰❤
Such an absolutely beautiful, beautiful video! You're such a one of a kind gorgeous girl! At 15:58 your face is just darling, you look exactly like one of those little girl face planters that is all the rage now. Then at 16:19 you show your outside light coming on, makes me need to tell you to always, always keep your beautiful light shining! And never quit creating these gorgeous, calming videos. Which I've watched them all. Amazing how piecing this one together shows how busy you keep yourself, you are very special! I truly feel the love you & precious Charlie share, sooo sweet! You are a very special gift from God! I am quite certain that everyone of your followers would definitely agree with me! God bless you & I pray that your every dream comes true. Merry Christmas with love & a hug.
Even with everything you go through, you manage to give away beauty and peace during a year that has been filled with so much anxiety for me. I am so grateful for you and that you are willing to share in spite of your own troubles. I wish you a beautiful holiday season and a new year filled with many blessings! Much love!
Dear Kate, watching your story over the last year has been an inspiration. You are a nester it is simply part of your DNA and have made a beautiful home for yourself. The fact that you have your little pocket rocket, Charlie as your companion has been so much fun to watch and enjoy. I wish you a joyous Christmas and New Year and a 2024 that brings you everything you could possibly wish for. Blessings to you both - Debs x
God's Creation is beautiful. It breaks my heart that so few show gratitude to the one who Created ALL. Jesus Christ Almighty. ALL glory to God forever & ever.
You are just a sweetheart. I am another one who has survived a hard year. I am taking care of my son's dog and it has forced me to spend more time out in nature as I take her on long walks. I see God and His creation and it just sets me free, for a while. Even when I return home, the peace of nature goes with me. It is the best mental medicine. Keep showing us how we can just keep on, step by step. I pray that all of us will have a new year of peace and love. Lol, that sounds kind of like my old hippy days, peace and love.
Hi Kate. This video really touched my heart. You are such a beautiful soul.Your artistry and photography skills are a gift and a blessing to us all. Thanks so much for sharing. You and Charlie make my world a happier place 😊❤
Oh Kate, how absolutely wonderful to see these highlights of your year. It makes me want to keep a video blog of my year too, to look back on an enjoy at the end of next year. Thank you for a wonderful year of sharing the beauty of nature, your ups and downs, your garden, wee Charlie, your thrift-trips, sunsets, photoshoots, walks and thoughts. Your videography and the music you've chosen and how skilfully you have put these together is really lovely! Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas, and wonderful blessings for a 2024 with happy adventures, a light and playful spirit, way more ups than downs, good health and happiness, and lots of love, laughter, peace and prosperity!
What a beautiful 2023 journey you've created. Nature brings so much clarity and peace when we walk in her magical world. Thank you for sharing your heart and soul with us, Kate. Love to you and Charlie 💞
If you take 1 tablespoon of black cumin oil a day it will keep the ticks away. You can also give it to your dog. In addition to essential fatty acids, black cumin oil also contains many essential oils. These seem to have a repellent effect on the annoying parasites. As several studies have already shown, black cumin oil can actually help against ticks and at least reduce the risk of infestation
I’m being reflective as well. Meet my therapist this morning , she wants me to seriously think of goals for next year. One of the things I’m going to do is take a Master class on meditation and gardening.
So beautiful Kate. I'm battling Covid right now. Dr actually gave me RX, it's nasty. I'm so bummed out. I take pride in being healthy and for many years not having as much as a cold. This crud is trying to take me out. I've been on the pitty pot lately. I had a special one day conference that is on Saturday and theme was Eagerly Waiting. I've been looking forward to it for months and now I can't go. I really resonated with this video. Things don't always work out the way we planned, life happens but we still have much beauty and loveliness that surrounds us. We can find ways to be grateful. Loads of love dear cyber friend🤗❤💜💚🍁
I’m a kindred spirit as far as loving and appreciating nature. I miss the beauty I had surrounding me in upstate NY. Now living in the eastern shore, MD. I soak up all the beautiful scenery in your videos and they also have a calming effect on me. I look forward to your videos each week. Wishing you a very Happy New Year !
Such a wonderful round up the year video, thank you sooo much for this. I LOVE what you have done to your little house, to make it a home for you and sweet Charlie dog. I love those loose dresses you wear, especially the really colourful one, with the dark background. Wish I could get one like that, as I love bright colours, and comfortable clothes. It looks enchanting where you live, amongst the trees, as trees are my best friends, and I hug and talk to them whenever I can. You are a beautiful person, both inside and out. I wanted to thank you for all your videos, as they calm me, and make me think outside the box. I am a person who only goes outside in nature to walk my Madge, so You tube keeps me sane, and gives me hope for a better future. I wish you and Charlie dog a very Happy Christmas, from a very windy West Devon, England. Blessings, good health, and love to you both. xxx
Thankyou Kate for your incredible, visually beautiful videos this past year. Thankyou for sharing excerpts of your life, the gorgeous place you live and sweet Charlie. Thankyou for being honest and keeping it real. Love, love your boho style - both cottage and clothing. Wishing you and Charlie a wonderful holiday season. Keep safe, stay warm, have fun. Felicitations from Australia. 🦋
When I see that a new video from you has arrived, I drop everything to watch it. Everything is so beautiful- the photography, your thoughts, the stories so moving and/or enjoyable. Thank you for sharing the highlights of your year, I hope in some small way this community helped you move through the hard times.
Blessed Solstice! Seeing all those flowers has me looking forward to that spring day when I walk outside to see all those little purple flowers in the grass and that beautiful shade of green we only see in the spring! Have a wonderful holiday season..💖
Yay! Im loving seeing content like this reflecting on the past year and its so interesting to watch. Its also reminded me to do something similar, i have had many challenges this year but i have made a lot of progress and this reminded me to celebrate that!
Life can be very messy at times and some years are worse than others. It's how one navigates through it that builds character and strength, and you did a wonderful job.
So heartwarming to see your highlight reel. I remember you sharing some of your struggles this year, and you’ve done so well at working through some of them too so well done you. I’m not sure if I got around to thanking you for inspiring me with my home this year. I created a gallery wall, grew some plants and dried flowers and crafted them into art work. I sincerely enjoy seeing how you’re getting on each week. I’m sending many blessings to you and Charlie for the holidays and new year. ❤❤
Thank you for this incredibly beautiful video which touched my heart, and for sharing with all of us. Much love to you, and wishes for a fabulous 2024 !
I am so sorry that you had a difficult year and I pray that 2024 will be a wonderful one for you. My 2023 was crap too.I had my first heart attack July 6th, then my second heart attack December 10th. a few days later, I came down with Covid and developed myocarditis, covid pneaumonia and bacterial pneaumonia and was hospitalized for 10 days. I haven't seeen my three dogs in over ten days because I don't want to infect them and my three cats are not allowed to snuggle with me and I am wearing an N95 mask around them so they don't get covid(three years ago, my one cat died from it). Coming home from the hospital to my little cottage in the woods has been so healing because nature is right outside my window.I have a long recovery ahead of me, cardicac rehabilitation and getting my strength back.Here is to 2024. May we all be healthy, happy, gentle on ourselves, and have love and compassion for ourselves. Big hugs to Charlie from me...
My word, that was A LOT in one year. You must be a CHAMP to still be kicking your way right on into the new year!! I'm sending you giant hugs and lots of love. You're so right that being back in your cottage with nature around you is a good thing. Next up will be a reunion with your fur family : ) Good things are coming!❤❤❤❤❤❤
And Thank You, Kate, for bringing us your exquisite filmmaking and thoughts and for sharing your Boho Cottage Life with all of us. Your stories have gently and sometimes boldly blessed my life! Here’s a toast to 2024 and all the good that is just waiting to bubble forth and be seen and felt, for you in your charming home and to all mankind…🙏❄️🎄⛄️🙏💜🎄⛄️❄️🎄⛄️
Your awareness of the beauty and therapeutic effects of nature is inspiring. Talking a walk or hike brings out the feel goods. Life does have its challenges, however the great things outweighs the struggles. 😊
beautiful video. !!! Thank you for sharing. I hope that 2024 is magical for you. You deserved love, success and wonderful new memories. It's been a little tough for me as well. Me and Helen (my cat) are crossing our paws that you and Charlie, and everyone watching your videos, have the best 2024 possible. 🏵♥🌞🏖
You share with us all. The good feelings and the not so good and everyone can relate to that. We all have amazing moments and some down right crappy times in between. Beauty, creativity and nature are our healers. Thanks for sharing your story:-)
As always great video, looking back on your year gives us all the chance to stop and think about life. There are good times and bad in all of our lives but watching your expression of joy even in tough times brings happiness to my soul. I pray you and that sweet dog Charlie have a Very Merry Christmas, and cheers to the start of the next year being full of as much wonder and surprise as you can handle. Blessings on your channel.
I’m sorry to hear you’ve had a tough year but you’ve coped incredibly well. Thank you for all the beautiful things you’ve shared this year. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and Charlie..you are a beautiful lady inside and out..
Everybody's life is a mess. I'm 68 amd my life has always a mess. I am just coming out of 7 yrs of sickness. I am picking up pieces of a mess. It's not easy after all that but God was with me the whole time. Now I look for peace joy and love which is hard to find❤😊
You are so brave to live alone in your beautiful little cottage. I have never been brave enough to do something like that. I know your life isn't perfect, no one's is. If life starts getting to you, do what you have been, get out into nature and while you are there, think about all you have accomplished on your own. You are a wonderfully, thoughtful, talented woman who I love to visit often. :)
A lovely video that chronicled year year. Thank You! You are a delihhtful and beautiful young lady and I wish you A Very Happy Festive Season and a healthy , prosperous New Year. Cheers and Blessings 😄🙏😘
Thank you for all the beauty you share. I always look forward to your videos. It was a tough year over here, too, but you're so right that life is beautiful even when it's a mess. 💚
Kate, I love your videos, they always bring me joy! I can identify with everything you say & do. Your voice is so soothing and thank you for sharing the beauty in your life with me. I wish I could get all your videos in a set like a series and watch them when I need to calm my own anxieties. I know you do this to help yourself but I am so grateful because it helps me too ❤😊 Becca in Kentucky
I too, am a nester. I love being surrounded by my things, by beautiful things. Whether I rent or own, I always make my nest as comfy as possible. When I was going thru a very dark time, I found it difficult to find beauty in anything but my daughter and grandchildren. They were what I used, in my mind, to keep going. I had a chihuahua too and she was a godsend.
I think you a wonderful person! You have a calming voice. I am sorry you have had a not so good year. You have def took it in stride and went right on! I love your videos and prayers for a better 2024. Blessings!
Oh one more thing! I went outside yesterday about an hour before sunset. Thousands, and I mean THOUSANDS, of geese - mostly snow geese flew over. Going east to west to look for fallow fields and the large local lake and one of the 'old rivers' - the Arkansas. I laughed out loud! Such joy!!!
Thank you for you. Your voice is so soothing just hearing your different experiances especially with Charley and the beautiful Hudson Valley. Happy Holidays to you and Charley . Be safe
Love Love Love this incredible beautiful journey of your year adventures .love how you make the most of each little adventure you go on , even just your little walks become heartwarming adventures. ThNk you for share.may you be blessed in the new year with many more adventures, maybe even your trip to France. Take care dear one.❤
Thank you so much for such a lovely video….this video certainly inspired me to get off my Duff and enjoy what nature has too offer…Happy Holidays….Will see you next time around!! 🤗🌺🐾
I'm not sure what your personal struggles are, but you sure do live in a beautiful place and seem to have a wonderful life. Little Charlie must be a great comfort too. You make beautiful videos Kate thank you from someone who may well be less fortunate than you ❤
Although 2023 was a very tough year for our family, you made me want to look for the small things that I can be grateful for. Every time I felt discouraged, your words and cinematography gave me the light. Thank you so much! Every time you upload a new video, please remember that there are people like me, jumping with joy to see them😊Wishing you a very happy 2024
The Migration of the birds was great. You have done an amazing job on the cottage. Thanks for all of your videos. There are lessons to learn from you. Have a wonderful and Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.😅🎉❤
Do people who rent really not decorate and make it their own? I’ve done both, rented and owned; and even shared. To me it’s imperative to surround myself with things that make me happy and content as best I can….no matter what space I occupy. Hope 2024 is a better year for you.
I certainly loved discovering your vlog this year! I look forward to every post. I admire the way you work through challenges and your outlook on life. I hope that the coming year brings you much peace and happiness!
I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed each of your weekly videos, they’re beautiful, and your words touch a place in my heart! Thank you for sharing your life, your joys, your struggles with us. As the year ends, I just want to send you much love and joy.❤️
Something of a masterpiece video Kate. Brilliant editing and narrative. I want to cry too. In a good way. Bravo lady. Bravo 👏!!! Happy Winter Solstice 2023.
This is beautiful . It made me instantly cry ( a good thing ) Dealing with chronic anxiety , depression , loss of doggie and the ordeals of a tiny home myself … You make me remember to breathe and look over the turmoil and see the beautiful nature around us . Thank you 💖
I want to tell you that today I was under stress. I had tension in my neck and shoulder. Your video popped up, and I watched it. I felt peace and relaxed listening to your voice, music, and scenery. I thank you ❤
Life is hard, life is beautiful. This is great as we can see the beauty, even in the mist of our life storms. We will always have storms, but in them, your right, there is beauty. May 2024 be kinder.
Merry Christmas to you and Charlie. I’m grateful that you share your videos with us, I look forward to them every week. I live in the NW U.K., it’s very wet a lot of the time and it’s easy to snuggle up on the sofa and never look outside. Your videos are a reminder to do so. Thank you 🏡🎄💚
As I celebrate the Summer Solstice today I wish for both you and Charlie Love, Peace and Abundance in life for this holiday season. Thank you so mich for all your amazing videos this year which at times have pulled me out of a few dark places I found myself in. 😘
Kate, I look so forward every week to watching a new video. They have helped me out in So many ways, especially when I'm feeling anxious or feeling down. You have a very beautiful smile and your positivity also helps to make me feel more positive I hope. 2024 will be a much better year for yourself for me and for everyone else. And my favorite video was the one when you went to the beach or the wild horses were!
Of course you need to decorate! I went so far that I took a large plastic tumbler with me on my first trip to Paris. It was to be a vase. I found a little flower shop with a lovely display out front. I chose red tulips - a red I'd not seen before. When I came down with the flu a few days later, I can't tell you how much they lifted my heart! That and the small Chinese restaurant next to the hotel - but that's another story. You've been one of the most precious lights for me. This year was positively awful and yet held so many glimmers. Thank you and Charley!
I don’t recall how I have come across you today, but you are obviously what I have been needing to see since, I have been binge watching your videos all afternoon. You had brought me to tears when you were in the white dress on the beach with your arms out stretched behind you with the winds blowing your dress all around. All I can say is, that you reminded me of seeing the ‘Wings of Victory’ statue of Nikke that is in the Louvre in Paris. Such beauty I had never seen before since then until today. You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing and giving us all hope. ❤️
I can't understand anyone asking why you decorate and nest in your home if it's just a rental...rental or not, one month or one year, it's still "your home".

Your home is your sanctuary from the outside world. Not everyone can afford or wants the responsibility of home ownership
Does one live minimalist? I am not. I am definitely a collector. ❤❤❤❤

Such an absolutely beautiful, beautiful video! You're such a one of a kind gorgeous girl! At 15:58 your face is just darling, you look exactly like one of those little girl face planters that is all the rage now. Then at 16:19 you show your outside light coming on, makes me need to tell you to always, always keep your beautiful light shining! And never quit creating these gorgeous, calming videos.

Even with everything you go through, you manage to give away beauty and peace during a year that has been filled with so much anxiety for me. I am so grateful for you and that you are willing to share in spite of your own troubles. I wish you a beautiful holiday season and a new year filled with many blessings! Much love!
Thank you so much, my friend : ) Sending you big hugs ... and wishes for a much less anxious year next year ❤❤❤
Dear Kate, watching your story over the last year has been an inspiration. You are a nester it is simply part of your DNA and have made a beautiful home for yourself. The fact that you have your little pocket rocket, Charlie as your companion has been so much fun to watch and enjoy. I wish you a joyous Christmas and New Year and a 2024 that brings you everything you could possibly wish for. Blessings to you both - Debs x
Thank you for your calming and inspirational videos throughout the year! Merry Christmas to you and Charlie! Love from Ireland!
On this solstice day, thank you for reminding me of all of the amazing wonder nature has to offer us.❤
Yay! Our days are going to be getting longer now : ) : ) ❤❤❤
Someone made all of it🙏🏻✝️🕊️
God's Creation is beautiful. It breaks my heart that so few show gratitude to the one who Created ALL. Jesus Christ Almighty. ALL glory to God forever & ever.
Please read John 1: 1-5🙏🏻
You are just a sweetheart. I am another one who has survived a hard year. I am taking care of my son's dog and it has forced me to spend more time out in nature as I take her on long walks. I see God and His creation and it just sets me free, for a while. Even when I return home, the peace of nature goes with me. It is the best mental medicine. Keep showing us how we can just keep on, step by step. I pray that all of us will have a new year of peace and love. Lol, that sounds kind of like my old hippy days, peace and love.
Nice wrap to 2023. See you in 2024. I can't wait to see what happens 🎉!
Hi Kate. This video really touched my heart. You are such a beautiful soul.Your artistry and photography skills are a gift and a blessing to us all. Thanks so much for sharing. You and Charlie make my world a happier place 😊❤
Oh Kate, how absolutely wonderful to see these highlights of your year. It makes me want to keep a video blog of my year too, to look back on an enjoy at the end of next year. Thank you for a wonderful year of sharing the beauty of nature, your ups and downs, your garden, wee Charlie, your thrift-trips, sunsets, photoshoots, walks and thoughts. Your videography and the music you've chosen and how skilfully you have put these together is really lovely! Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas, and wonderful blessings for a 2024 with happy adventures, a light and playful spirit, way more ups than downs, good health and happiness, and lots of love, laughter, peace and prosperity!
❤
Love your videos! Where those snow geese, how beautiful! Thank you for sharing❤
You are a breath of fresh air and beautiful sweetheart,your zest too rise up lifts me up !
What a beautiful 2023 journey you've created. Nature brings so much clarity and peace when we walk in her magical world. Thank you for sharing your heart and soul with us, Kate. Love to you and Charlie 💞
If you take 1 tablespoon of black cumin oil a day it will keep the ticks away. You can also give it to your dog.
In addition to essential fatty acids, black cumin oil also contains many essential oils. These seem to have a repellent effect on the annoying parasites. As several studies have already shown, black cumin oil can actually help against ticks and at least reduce the risk of infestation
Interesting!!! I have to look into that! Thank you for sharing!!!!!
❤❤Such a beautiful video Kate. Iook forward to seeing you in 2024. Merry Christmas to you and sweet Charlie
I’m being reflective as well. Meet my therapist this morning , she wants me to seriously think of goals for next year.
One of the things I’m going to do is take a Master class on meditation and gardening.
Those sound like amazing goals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So beautiful Kate. I'm battling Covid right now. Dr actually gave me RX, it's nasty. I'm so bummed out. I take pride in being healthy and for many years not having as much as a cold. This crud is trying to take me out. I've been on the pitty pot lately. I had a special one day conference that is on Saturday and theme was Eagerly Waiting. I've been looking forward to it for months and now I can't go. I really resonated with this video. Things don't always work out the way we planned, life happens but we still have much beauty and loveliness that surrounds us. We can find ways to be grateful. Loads of love dear cyber friend🤗❤💜💚🍁
You play the piano so beautifully!
Thank you for your beautiful work and for sharing it with all of us. May all your dreams come true in the new year! ❤
Thank you so much!!!!!! For you, too : ) ❤❤❤
I’m a kindred spirit as far as loving and appreciating nature. I miss the beauty I had surrounding me in upstate NY. Now living in the eastern shore, MD. I soak up all the beautiful scenery in your videos and they also have a calming effect on me. I look forward to your videos each week. Wishing you a very Happy New Year !
Oooh ... I do love those beaches down there! But I can understand missing upstate NY. I'm happy to be able to share them with you : ) ❤❤❤
Such wise words! It has been a tough year for me here in the UK too. Your channel brings so much inspiration and calm. Thank you!
Well then I guess we're both going to have a better year next year : ) : ) : ) Sending big hugs! ❤❤❤
Such a wonderful round up the year video, thank you sooo much for this. I LOVE what you have done to your little house, to make it a home for you and sweet Charlie dog. I love those loose dresses you wear, especially the really colourful one, with the dark background. Wish I could get one like that, as I love bright colours, and comfortable clothes. It looks enchanting where you live, amongst the trees, as trees are my best friends, and I hug and talk to them whenever I can. You are a beautiful person, both inside and out. I wanted to thank you for all your videos, as they calm me, and make me think outside the box. I am a person who only goes outside in nature to walk my Madge, so You tube keeps me sane, and gives me hope for a better future. I wish you and Charlie dog a very Happy Christmas, from a very windy West Devon, England. Blessings, good health, and love to you both. xxx
Thankyou Kate for your incredible, visually beautiful videos this past year. Thankyou for sharing excerpts of your life, the gorgeous place you live and sweet Charlie. Thankyou for being honest and keeping it real. Love, love your boho style - both cottage and clothing. Wishing you and Charlie a wonderful holiday season. Keep safe, stay warm, have fun. Felicitations from Australia. 🦋
Simply Beautiful. 💖💕💖💕💖💕
Thank you, friend!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
When I see that a new video from you has arrived, I drop everything to watch it. Everything is so beautiful- the photography, your thoughts, the stories so moving and/or enjoyable. Thank you for sharing the highlights of your year, I hope in some small way this community helped you move through the hard times.
Blessed Solstice! Seeing all those flowers has me looking forward to that spring day when I walk outside to see all those little purple flowers in the grass and that beautiful shade of green we only see in the spring! Have a wonderful holiday season..💖
Yay! Im loving seeing content like this reflecting on the past year and its so interesting to watch. Its also reminded me to do something similar, i have had many challenges this year but i have made a lot of progress and this reminded me to celebrate that!
Congratulations on the progress : ) We should be proud every little bit of progress we make : ) Sending big hugs!!! ❤❤❤
Life can be very messy at times and some years are worse than others. It's how one navigates through it that builds character and strength, and you did a wonderful job.
I love all the thrifted items and decorations. I do the same. I love my gardens and everything cozy. Enjoy!
It's all about being cozy : ) : ) ❤❤❤
So heartwarming to see your highlight reel. I remember you sharing some of your struggles this year, and you’ve done so well at working through some of them too so well done you. I’m not sure if I got around to thanking you for inspiring me with my home this year. I created a gallery wall, grew some plants and dried flowers and crafted them into art work. I sincerely enjoy seeing how you’re getting on each week. I’m sending many blessings to you and Charlie for the holidays and new year. ❤❤
Thank you for this incredibly beautiful video which touched my heart, and for sharing with all of us. Much love to you, and wishes for a fabulous 2024 !
Sending you and Charlie hugs and ❤. Merry Christmas and I hope and wish for you a great 2024.
Here's to a better 2024. Merry Christmas.🎄
I am so sorry that you had a difficult year and I pray that 2024 will be a wonderful one for you. My 2023 was crap too.I had my first heart attack July 6th, then my second heart attack December 10th. a few days later, I came down with Covid and developed myocarditis, covid pneaumonia and bacterial pneaumonia and was hospitalized for 10 days. I haven't seeen my three dogs in over ten days because I don't want to infect them and my three cats are not allowed to snuggle with me and I am wearing an N95 mask around them so they don't get covid(three years ago, my one cat died from it). Coming home from the hospital to my little cottage in the woods has been so healing because nature is right outside my window.I have a long recovery ahead of me, cardicac rehabilitation and getting my strength back.Here is to 2024. May we all be healthy, happy, gentle on ourselves, and have love and compassion for ourselves. Big hugs to Charlie from me...
My word, that was A LOT in one year. You must be a CHAMP to still be kicking your way right on into the new year!! I'm sending you giant hugs and lots of love. You're so right that being back in your cottage with nature around you is a good thing. Next up will be a reunion with your fur family : ) Good things are coming!❤❤❤❤❤❤
💐Sending you, light🕯️, love ❤️and positive 🦋and healing vibes🧚♀️🌷
💕 sending get well wishes, and hope you feel so much better soon.
Your cottage is beautiful 😍
And Thank You, Kate, for bringing us your exquisite filmmaking and thoughts and for sharing your Boho Cottage Life with all of us. Your stories have gently and sometimes boldly blessed my life! Here’s a toast to 2024 and all the good that is just waiting to bubble forth and be seen and felt, for you in your charming home and to all mankind…🙏❄️🎄⛄️🙏💜🎄⛄️❄️🎄⛄️
Your awareness of the beauty and therapeutic effects of nature is inspiring. Talking a walk or hike brings out the feel goods. Life does have its challenges, however the great things outweighs the struggles. 😊
beautiful video. !!! Thank you for sharing. I hope that 2024 is magical for you. You deserved love, success and wonderful new memories. It's been a little tough for me as well. Me and Helen (my cat) are crossing our paws that you and Charlie, and everyone watching your videos, have the best 2024 possible. 🏵♥🌞🏖
Awwww ... thank you! And what a precious name for a cat ... Helen : ) I hope 2024 is just as amazing for you girls, as well!❤❤❤
You share with us all. The good feelings and the not so good and everyone can relate to that. We all have amazing moments and some down right crappy times in between. Beauty, creativity and nature are our healers. Thanks for sharing your story:-)
As always great video, looking back on your year gives us all the chance to stop and think about life. There are good times and bad in all of our lives but watching your expression of joy even in tough times brings happiness to my soul. I pray you and that sweet dog Charlie have a Very Merry Christmas, and cheers to the start of the next year being full of as much wonder and surprise as you can handle. Blessings on your channel.
Here’s to a wonderful 2024 for us all❤ 🤗🥰
That made me think of Oprah, lol ... YOU get a good 2024, and YOU get a good 2024, lol. We all deserve it : ) ❤❤❤
I’m sorry to hear you’ve had a tough year but you’ve coped incredibly well. Thank you for all the beautiful things you’ve shared this year. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and Charlie..you are a beautiful lady inside and out..
Thank you so much : ) I really appreciate that! Big hugs!!!! ❤❤❤
Everybody's life is a mess. I'm 68 amd my life has always a mess. I am just coming out of 7 yrs of sickness. I am picking up pieces of a mess. It's not easy after all that but God was with me the whole time. Now I look for peace joy and love which is hard to find❤😊
You are so brave to live alone in your beautiful little cottage. I have never been brave enough to do something like that. I know your life isn't perfect, no one's is. If life starts getting to you, do what you have been, get out into nature and while you are there, think about all you have accomplished on your own. You are a wonderfully, thoughtful, talented woman who I love to visit often. :)
A lovely video that chronicled year year. Thank You!
You are a delihhtful and beautiful young lady and I wish you A Very Happy Festive Season and a healthy , prosperous New Year.
Cheers and Blessings
😄🙏😘
Thank you for all the beauty you share. I always look forward to your videos. It was a tough year over here, too, but you're so right that life is beautiful even when it's a mess. 💚
Let's see what 2024 brings us : ) ❤❤❤
Kate, I love your videos, they always bring me joy! I can identify with everything you say & do. Your voice is so soothing and thank you for sharing the beauty in your life with me. I wish I could get all your videos in a set like a series and watch them when I need to calm my own anxieties. I know you do this to help yourself but I am so grateful because it helps me too ❤😊 Becca in Kentucky
I too, am a nester. I love being surrounded by my things, by beautiful things. Whether I rent or own, I always make my nest as comfy as possible.
When I was going thru a very dark time, I found it difficult to find beauty in anything but my daughter and grandchildren. They were what I used, in my mind, to keep going. I had a chihuahua too and she was a godsend.
A lot of people rent their entire life, you make home wherever you are even if renting!
Happy holidays and thanks for your calm videos🙂
Here's to 2024🥂🍾
Thanks so much for being here!!!!❤❤❤
You are mu inspiration 😊 thank you ❤
I think you a wonderful person! You have a calming voice. I am sorry you have had a not so good year. You have def took it in stride and went right on! I love your videos and prayers for a better 2024. Blessings!
Oh one more thing! I went outside yesterday about an hour before sunset. Thousands, and I mean THOUSANDS, of geese - mostly snow geese flew over. Going east to west to look for fallow fields and the large local lake and one of the 'old rivers' - the Arkansas. I laughed out loud! Such joy!!!
Nature is God’s second book showing us His Great Sacrificial Love 💝🌸💖
gorgeous...you, your message and your vlog
Aw, thank you, friend : ) ❤❤❤
Thank you for you.
Your voice is so soothing just hearing your different experiances especially with Charley and the beautiful Hudson Valley. Happy Holidays to you and Charley . Be safe
Love Love Love this incredible beautiful journey of your year adventures .love how you make the most of each little adventure you go on , even just your little walks become heartwarming adventures. ThNk you for share.may you be blessed in the new year with many more adventures, maybe even your trip to France. Take care dear one.❤
Thank you so much for such a lovely video….this video certainly inspired me to get off my Duff and enjoy what nature has too offer…Happy Holidays….Will see you next time around!! 🤗🌺🐾
I'm not sure what your personal struggles are, but you sure do live in a beautiful place and seem to have a wonderful life. Little Charlie must be a great comfort too. You make beautiful videos Kate thank you from someone who may well be less fortunate than you ❤
Although 2023 was a very tough year for our family, you made me want to look for the small things that I can be grateful for. Every time I felt discouraged, your words and cinematography gave me the light. Thank you so much! Every time you upload a new video, please remember that there are people like me, jumping with joy to see them😊Wishing you a very happy 2024
Happy holidays 🎄❤️🇨🇦
The Migration of the birds was great. You have done an amazing job on the cottage. Thanks for all of your videos. There are lessons to learn from you. Have a wonderful and Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.😅🎉❤
Do people who rent really not decorate and make it their own? I’ve done both, rented and owned; and even shared. To me it’s imperative to surround myself with things that make me happy and content as best I can….no matter what space I occupy. Hope 2024 is a better year for you.
Beautiful!!!
Thank you : ) ❤❤❤
I certainly loved discovering your vlog this year! I look forward to every post. I admire the way you work through challenges and your outlook on life. I hope that the coming year brings you much peace and happiness!
I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed each of your weekly videos, they’re beautiful, and your words touch a place in my heart! Thank you for sharing your life, your joys, your struggles with us. As the year ends, I just want to send you much love and joy.❤️
Something of a masterpiece video Kate. Brilliant editing and narrative. I want to cry too. In a good way. Bravo lady. Bravo 👏!!!
Happy Winter Solstice 2023.
This is beautiful . It made me instantly cry ( a good thing ) Dealing with chronic anxiety , depression , loss of doggie and the ordeals of a tiny home myself … You make me remember to breathe and look over the turmoil and see the beautiful nature around us . Thank you 💖
I want to tell you that today I was under stress. I had tension in my neck and shoulder. Your video popped up, and I watched it. I felt peace and relaxed listening to your voice, music, and scenery. I thank you ❤
Life is hard, life is beautiful. This is great as we can see the beauty, even in the mist of our life storms. We will always have storms, but in them, your right, there is beauty. May 2024 be kinder.
Merry Christmas to you and Charlie. I’m grateful that you share your videos with us, I look forward to them every week. I live in the NW U.K., it’s very wet a lot of the time and it’s easy to snuggle up on the sofa and never look outside. Your videos are a reminder to do so. Thank you 🏡🎄💚
You are such a calming influence in our crazy world. I have really enjoyed your videos. Thank you and kisses to Charlie 😘
As I celebrate the Summer Solstice today I wish for both you and Charlie Love, Peace and Abundance in life for this holiday season. Thank you so mich for all your amazing videos this year which at times have pulled me out of a few dark places I found myself in. 😘
Kate, I look so forward every week to watching a new video. They have helped me out in So many ways, especially when I'm feeling anxious or feeling down. You have a very beautiful smile and your positivity also helps to make me feel more positive I hope. 2024 will be a much better year for yourself for me and for everyone else. And my favorite video was the one when you went to the beach or the wild horses were!
I recently read “Life is simple. It is what it is. But it’s not easy.”
You truly are an inspiration!
Of course you need to decorate! I went so far that I took a large plastic tumbler with me on my first trip to Paris. It was to be a vase. I found a little flower shop with a lovely display out front. I chose red tulips - a red I'd not seen before. When I came down with the flu a few days later, I can't tell you how much they lifted my heart! That and the small Chinese restaurant next to the hotel - but that's another story.
You've been one of the most precious lights for me. This year was positively awful and yet held so many glimmers. Thank you and Charley!
I don’t recall how I have come across you today, but you are obviously what I have been needing to see since, I have been binge watching your videos all afternoon.
You had brought me to tears when you were in the white dress on the beach with your arms out stretched behind you with the winds blowing your dress all around.
All I can say is, that you reminded me of seeing the ‘Wings of Victory’ statue of Nikke that is in the Louvre in Paris. Such beauty I had never seen before since then until today.
You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing and giving us all hope. ❤️
