    I lost my daughter a few days ago and we had been watching your videos together whilst going through her treatment. They were a welcome distraction from all that was going on. A lot of your sentiments which shine through your personality resonated so much . We laughed at the prospect of trying to fit all of Stephs stuff in a van your size, minimalism was not her thing, her plants, her clothes would never have fitted. Thank you for being you.

    My husband and I got rid of 99.9% of everything we owned to move to a campground. We went from a motorhome to a caravan then a campervan. I loved the life but I can't drive. My husband died last July, I had to sell the van and go back to owning stuff in a flat. I loved my campground time, by a beach listening to the waves at night. I got to live a dream, not everyone can say that. The moral of the story is to do what makes your heart sing as life is to short. We had the best 18 months with no regrets.

    You might want to consider (if you haven't already done so) a safety deposit box for your treasured and irreplaceable items, such as your military ribbons, medals, etc., rather than keeping them in your van. Of course, you can also scan photos to enjoy on your laptop and keep the originals into the safety deposit box as well. You have probably already thought of this.

It could be doing something as simple as a load of laundry, vacuuming, cleaning a closet, making the bed or meal, etc. This has now rubbed off on my sister and a friend, and when we talk, we now reference the number of tasks we accomplished that week. We're all in our 70's, so we've learned to pace ourselves:) On today's docket, the main task for today is grooming my drama queen long hair chihuahua (after watching you), which isn't easy, since she hates it and acts like I'm killing her.

    I love SPRITE too but as an alternative I found lemon-lime Sparkling Water (Kroger brand). It taste the most like Sprite of anything I’ve tried. If you read this I hope that you’ll try it. Thanks for being an inspiration!!

    You are right about minimalism, there is an old saying a rich person isn't the one that has the most but the one who needs the least. I am really enjoying watching you on your journey. all the best.

    Wow, medals and awards. No wonder you have so much discipline, and it takes a measure of fearless to venture out (seemingly in your case as you calculate and think mindfully) without a net.

    I LOVE storage clean out days. I loved the commentary around this, it really made me think about some of the stuff in my now cluttered home. Ima take section by section to do just the same as the storage clean out day.
    I loved the fresh cut! So glad you didn’t cut it all off in the winter! 😮 get those curls poppin’!
    Another great video!!

    Take care of your digestive system. I used to eat to fast and now at 55 , I can’t tolerate 🌶 because it burns coming out, undigested food can cause issues too. I recommend pausing between bites. No Shade.. I was 40 yesterday in my mind. So take care of your belly and your Quads for your knees. 🌶✨

    We are nomads too (we travel internationally full-time) and I am an introvert. When we left we had to downsize everything we owned into 2 carry-on suitcases and two tech backpacks.
    It was rough but we got it done (during 2020 when even donating things were hard to do because of the pandemic). Traveling as light as possible makes the experience less stressful, especially because we are UA-camrs as well (currently on a three month break while we plan out our 2023 travels through Europe and our 2023 content🎉).
    You will be so happy when you are done downsizing and hit the road. So proud of you!
    Also, we just bought those rode mics on our last trip to the U.S. in December. Can't wait to use them! They were sold out in almost every store so you are so lucky that your location had them. We got the last one on the shelf too.

    Seeing your video pop up made my whole day and the fact that they have been getting longer makes me very happy. They are so relaxing to watch. That sub looks good. Kind of like a philly cheese steak. I am definitely going to try one. I had baked chicken, sauteed spinach and a petite sweet potato for dinner.
    Instead of resolutions I like to set goals to achieve throughout the year and I revise them as the year unfolds. Life is fluid so my goals are as well.
    I’ve actually made a list of every area of my apartment that needs to be cleaned out. I’m starting this weekend with the front hall closet and the storage closet on the porch.
    Have a great weekend! See you on the next video.
