Instant subscribe. I've just broken up with my boyfriend of 7 years, and I'm taking advantage of it to live the dream he kept me from : going to live in my great grandmother's house and renovating it into my cottage core dream. It felt to cathartic to watch your video, to see how brave you were and are, and taking inspiration from that.
Oh wow, thank you so so incredibly much for sharing this! I am honored to hear this part of your story and know I am SO cheering you on in this next chapter of your story! You are not alone ♥
@@RandiLynnReed you have even inspired me to start a UA-cam channel to document all of it 😱 so know that you have a great influence and that your work helps a lot of people ❤️ (I wasn't expecting a reply, so just wanted to thank you again ! ☺️)
You are doing it so well!! Anyone who knows to read Linda Paston and passes her poems on to the younger generation is a-okay in my world. And what a lovely poem by Mary Oliver to end on. When I was 25, I was engaged to be married. It turned out a few weeks (4-5?) before my wedding, I learned that my soon-to-be husband was cheating. Oh my goodness!! It was so hard. We had been a couple for 9 years, and I had already had enough heartbreak in my life. He had been my rock through all of life's chaos. Of course, the wedding was called off, and he married someone else before our wedding was even to happen. I didn't think I would survive. But I did of course. I thought I was going to be a suburban mom. It turned out I became a writer and traveled to places I'd never dreamed of. I also met and worked with both Mary Oliver and Linda Paston believe it or not. And I now look back and think about how lucky I was to have been set free from the path I was on. Someone was looking out for me, and someone is looking out for you. All will be well my young friend. What a beautiful video!
Wow, I am honored that you would share a part of your story with me and with what power and hope it holds to those of us starting down a new path. We have no idea what the future holds, but I know in my heart that it will be so much more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed. I am absolutely amazed at your strength, courage and resilience! And, so in awe that you were able to work with both such inspiring women! What a gift. Thank you for sharing your light with me ♥
Randi, You don't know how good it is to hear you are back! We all have missed you so very much. I hope you could feel all the prayers for you!!!! You are a creative, talented, caring, compassionate, encouraging, beautiful, giving, strong, amazing woman.
My therapist says we need at least 9 months to get over the loss. We must go through the full cycle and be born again. You're almost here. You know how to see and show beauty like no one else. I hope this ability will help you get through the tough times. So happy to see you agan fnd wish you all the best!
Commenting again now that I have seen the video. I want to say that I am truly sorry for the situation that caused the silence these past few months. That would be incredibly difficult to go through. I absolutely love how you said that you are seeing buds and how your life is starting to become lovely. All you said was poetic and precious to hear you say. "Light is on its way." That it is. You have recorded another breathtaking video, but one filled with emotion, that I teared up. I can't believe the gorgeous view you have from your window seat by the way. Wow. I am amazed at the beauty. This is your parents' cabin? Wow!! What a cool place. Keep healing. Keep growing. Keep looking towards the light. -JusticePirate
Thank you so so much for taking the time to write such a beautiful comment. I relish in your kindness & encouragement and am honored to receive them. So very grateful to have you here! ♥
The moment at the end where you started twirling in your dress and smiling made me tear up. Life can be so heavy sometimes, but holding on to joy and wonder and playfulness will get you through. ❤ (also love the bangs, they really suit you!)
Welcome back Randi. I came across a beautiful quote recently…. “Take those shattered pieces and create the most beautiful mosaic you can imagine.” Donna Ashworth. Take care sweet one.
Sweetheart, you are sooo beautiful 💗 Words from a 55 year old mom that has been alone for a very long time … Some days will hurt soooo bad, you just won’t even know what to do with the terrible pain…it’s overwhelming …then some days won’t hurt as much …as time goes on it becomes more moments than entire days …you’ll be okay, then something will get you, it could be the smallest thing, the way the light hits your coffee cup could trigger a flood of tears 😢…But as time goes on these painful moments start to get shorter, you start leaning how to compact them … process them … even discard them … time goes on and as you step into the future you don’t necessarily leave the past behind …no, we do not … instead we learn how to leave the pain behind … but the truth is, we learn how to live with pain … it stretches our hearts even bigger than they were before … And so it might be thirty years from now and you might have children and be married and all kinds of beautiful things then a trinket in a drawer …an old kept picture …something from this time will still pierce your heart and it’s still gonna hurt a little, but that’s okay …it’s okay … it means you’re beautifully alive and that you never forgot who you were …Oh how I’ve been thru this pain … a long marriage and two young children my husband left me …that was 15 years ago …I would not have made it without my faith, my dog, and chocolate…I know it’s so hard and it’s better to accept the pain won’t just pass instantly … accepting that makes it easier … My dog had pooped on the lawn and I was just too overwhelmed and tired to clean it and so I left this one pile on the lawn and every morning I watched it turn white and after a time all this poop turned to dust and blew away and I realize what a horrible analogy but that’s what the hurt will do eventually, it will dry up and blow away so you don’t see it it smell it but if you look closely there’s still a lil stain on the lawn and a flower grew up out of this poop spot and that’s what going to happen to you because you are too beautiful, authentic and loving to be alone forever but it’s good for now, it truly is. I’m so sorry this happened, in the end it will be a blessing, you will see …. So much love to you sweetheart … I bet you cried a lot of tears next to your dog, they truly are angels ….
Randi, I have missed you and your content so much! Praying for you, beautiful. So sorry that you have had to go through such a hard time. Thank you for sharing such vulnerability on here. Your sharing made me think of one of my favorite Scriptures of all: “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” - Isaiah 43:2-3 💛 God Bless you, you are never alone!
Your video just came to me,as I sit alone on easter sunday. ..Im 63 and I wrote poems all my life and playing music and singing and nature,cooking,baking...have helped me be at peace and heal. I thank you from my heart, You're an inspiration to us ,young or old. Have a blissful journey 🙏💜
Oh thank you so so much for sharing this with me! I am honored to receive such words. I wish you Happy Easter & send you the biggest hug! I can tell we are kindred spirits ♥
I am 62. I wish I had the time or money to go and start again like she is doing but easier said than done. 16 years with someone at 62 not sure where you go from there....
You're obviously rising from the ashes. This video was incredibly cinematic. I felt a whole range of emotions with you. If something leaves our lives, it's to make room for something better 💚
I found the ending of Significant Relationships in my 20s hurt like craaaaazy, almost broke my spirit. But I took the wisdom of the experience and heartache with me and it served to make me deeply intentional in future relationships and highly nurturing of my heart in ways that I was never conscious was possible before. All this to say… yes the sun is rising once again for you, and even brighter I’m sure.
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for allowing yourself to be so vulnerable. Yes, change can be awful, and I am so sorry for the pain you have been through. But you come back stronger. I love the scenes of you power walking and chopping wood - they feel so empowering! Your videography is stunning, your art is beautiful, your family has your back, and the healing power of nature has you, too. The joy you show us at the end of the video is so inspiring, so full of hope, and Mary Oliver's words are so perfectly captured as you lift your face to the sun. Thank you and may your journey continue to take you to interesting and wonderful places!
Randi, you are an artist in many ways and a beautiful soul. You have become an important part of my life through your videos. I turn to them for peace and inspiration. You are in my prayers for healing and recovery. May you be blessed, always.
@@RandiLynnReed You put your videos together with such skill, they flow like a peaceful stream. I hold you in high esteem for your sensitivity, your talent and your beautiful soul.
Oh my honey; so sorry you are going thru such a difficult time. You were greatly missed; and so happy you are back. Beautiful job filming and telling your followers what happened. So happy you have such a lovely place to heal; and relieved to see your beloved dog is with you. Hope you know you are loved by many. Welcome back Randi.
I’ve been thinking of you often and loved seeing you and your creativity shining through this video again. The cabin looks like such a peaceful and beautiful place to be during a time of loss and then moving forward again. You were missed and I know there’s great joy from many of us in welcoming you back.
Although we have our solo journeys, please know that there are many of us who have been through this. You will find your new path and most times it changes your life for the very best. Wishing you the very best. You are an amazing talent and have a very bright future. ❤
Thank you so much! Yes, knowing that I am not alone is such a comfort though equally sad that others have to experience such grief and heartbreak. But there is light and hope for all of us! ♥
This is the most beautiful video I have ever seen. Yes, it is permeated with a note of sadness, but you touched my soul. Because I'm also going through hard times, loneliness, but your video gave me strength and hope for the best
Many have gone through the ending of a relationship. It’s really hard but you learn and grow. I went through it and while hard at first I began to feel more beautiful and more “me” than I had felt for a long time. Sometimes things happen for a reason and you are right to realize that life is still beautiful and there is hope! ❤ Best!
You HAVE been MISSED! I was concerned about you. Missed your Autumn & Winter videos, I sensed something may have happened… Know you are special and bring comfort and joy to others. You’re young, talented and beautiful, there’s lots of things to look forward too. Sorry for your heartache. Sending hugs with love. 🌷🩷🙏🪴🐇🍄🌸 Needed to add, Fall and Winter can be the worse times for sadness but Spring is here to guide you and help with the healing. Loved seeing your smile. ❤ 🪴🐰
Randi this is so beautiful and honest. You captured the heartache and the bittersweetness of it all. There's hope and beauty that you shared. Thank you! Many years ago, my relationship of 10+ years abruptly ended and the months after that felt the same way as you captured in this video you created (although with a lot more tears). I know it's a hard time in life, but it helped me grow as a person and start a new chapter. I am forever grateful for that time in my life and the direction it lead me to. I hope it does the same for you. Thank you for sharing and creating this. (also, you're cinematography is just stunning - well done!)
Oh Jaclyn, thank you for sharing this part of your story with me! It is always so comforting to hear from people who are on the other side ♥️ So many tears have been shed, but they are watering the soil for deeper roots & more vibrant blooms! Thank you so much for this beautiful word! I appreciate you so much.
Illness has made me lose my independence and happiness. Though our losses aren’t exactly the same; I found your video to be so heartbreaking yet also so beautiful and healing. “May we find the light together.” ❤ May we welcome spring and the new beginnings that she brings.
I'm sorry you're going through this tough time. Just know you're not alone. And I've often felt this sort of thing ends up leading you more to yourself than you realize while going through it ❤
All of a sudden your video appeared on my screen. What a Godsend! I just lost my husband to cancer and am living helter skelter...lost, confused, no direction, sad, you name it. Your words and video made me breathe deep and start to rethink this solitary journey. Thank you for being there, I am inspired. God Bless you for being such a positive inspiration. P.S. love your Golden, he/she is beautiful.
Welcome back Randi! I was so pleased to see you had a video up. I am so sorry for the trials you have been going through. I believe your channel will be even more successful now and your creativity will blossom. I can see you are strong and resilient . Your videos will bring peace to many.
Randi!! How wonderful to see you again! So sorry for this season of loss-prayers for brighter days and healing. Thankful that you are sharing your beautiful spirit through these videos again. ❤ Also, the way you read poems is just beautiful 😍 God bless 😊
Dear Randi, my heart sanked when I heard your news. I'm so sorry to hear about the difficult, sad, painful and uncertain time you've gone through the last past months. You are such a beautiful person, and you've shared your life and story in such a profound and meditating way. I pray that you will find peace and wonder during your next journey and especially in the nature around you. Many blessings.❤
Send you a big hug. Six months ago I moved from my hometown leaving behind everything I've known, my family and my friends and the places I felt safe for 26 years. I moved with my boyfriend but he's a marine so I spend months alone. I'm healing too, grief has so many shapes...what is important is to continue moving forward. And you are doing it. Btw this video was so cinematographic and cozy omg. Love from Argentina x
Well I have shed some tears watching and listening- for you and for myself as I know how this kind of loss hurts. Huge respect to you for addressing this painful experience with such grace and dignity- and turning sorrow into a thing of beauty. This video will bring comfort to many and hope you find comfort in all of the messages. Cedar adores you and he is wise indeed.
10:34 que hermoso fue ver una imagen creada por PAOLA MERRILL! Este es el primer video tuyo que veo, y es muy inspirador! Hace 7 meses mi vida cambió por completo, sumiéndome en una obscuridad que no creía poder superar. Todavía no lo hago, pero sé que estoy más cerca de salir de esa tormenta, que sé que tiene mucho que enseñarme de mí misma. ¡Gracias por acompañarnos en este viaje que es la vida!
You don’t know me but I am your friend. We are all your friend. We’ve got you girl. Anyone that doesn’t see your worth is a fool. I said what I said. This vlog needs an award 🏆 Sending love 🥰
I could so relate to living the seasons, and am also truly feeling the new life and hope of spring... A new beginning. After a 30 year relationship (26 married) I find myself starting over. It was pretty scary at first, but not as scary as staying where I was, and I feel my wings beginning to grow, and am preparing myself to FLY! Thank you for sharing your journey. Best Wishes! The best is yet to come.
It is such a joy to see that you are back Randi! This video is everything I needed today! Thank you so much for the beautiful words you share with us, sometimes it feels like your video is made just for me and my needs. Sending love and hugs!
Hey Randi, so glad to see you, it's been really long time, welcome back my friend.. We've missed you beyond belief.. Sorry you've been down lately, but am happy to see you on the upside of life again.. It sucks when things that we thought would last forever, ends, then we are left to pick up the broken pieces and start over.. It takes time to do that, and we are here for you, take all of the time you need...
Здравствуйте, дорогая Ренди! Я так рада вас видеть. Вы замечательный, талантливый и добрый человек и я уверена, что все у вас будет хорошо! У вас должно быть все хорошо! Буду рада снова и снова вас видеть и ждать ваши удивительно добрые видео! С большой любовью к вам Наташа из России. ❤❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷💕💕💕💕💕🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Thank you so much Randi for the message of HOPE. I recently moved and life is still upside down but your words touched me just now. Sometimes we can forget about hope... (I am a fellow owl lover.)
What a hard thing to go through. I’m going through a change also that’s so scary. My husband has dementia and everyday I wake up in fear of what’s to come or happen. You are blessed to have such a beautiful cabin and woodland to retreat to. I hope you are getting stronger everyday. I’ll hold your hand if you’ll hold mine. 😅😅
Aw, sending you the biggest hugs, Colleen! What an uncertain & scary time that must be. I pray for peace for your mind and a gentle kindness to meet you and your husband each day. ♥
Randi you are back ❤ sooo glad to see you when I saw the video my heart was filled with joy...you look incredible and I am praying for you during this time of change..the video was simply stunning as usual
This is an absolutely beautiful video!! I'm sorry for what you've been through but I'm so glad you are on the road to light and feeling better. Keep doing what you are doing. You never know who you will help along the way by just being you.
Randi, so glad you're back! Your videos are truly phenomenal. Lots of changes during this time of year. Thank you for blessing us with this inspiring conversation. Love from Massachusetts ❤️
Welcome back, and im happy to see you back. You make such beautiful videos that brings me joy and happiness. I wish you nothing but happier times!! Send love and light your way!!
I love to think that it is through the pain we navigate that we become the strong blooming flowers we are destined to be. Your beautiful poetic video really encapsulated this very message, Randi. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable and honest video. Wishing you so much healing and love during this restoration process. Glad to see you back on here.
This video is so beautiful, but the most beautiful part is your soul, Randi. God has your future in His Hands, so keep living right here in the present moment. I admire you more than you know... Thank you for being who God created you to be.
I am so happy to see you again…and so sorry to hear what a difficult time you have been through. I am sending you every good wish for the bright and beautiful future that is waiting for you xxx
So happy to see your new post, but this is where you were meant to be. You are a natural at these relaxing, life-affirming views. Thank you for taking me away to a better world, even if just for a few minutes. ❤
You have come through your experience more radiant than ever. A soft beautiful radiance. Change, even the heart-wounding kind, often transforms into a gift that brings us closer to our dreams and where we are truly meant to be.
Such a beautiful video. Loved the poetry too and your message. So wonderful to see you posting more too. Change is hard no doubt, but often we become stronger and a better version of ourselves on the other side. You are amazing and will achieve your best life! Stay strong and keeping moving forward! 🩵
I am so glad to see you will be updating us on this new stage of your life. I have been checking your page regularly and wondering how you were doing xx
I'm also going through a very difficult period of transition. Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for saying that you can feel new small buds beginning to sprout inside you, that you can feel the light, that things will get better.
I had to come back to your video again as it called out to me❤🎉😊 Your words so beautiful, peaceful, and totally 👍 recharging!!! One can apply this to relationships of any kind as one can relate to such here and there through life. But you know, this is a huge community of friends here, even if we have never met, we are connected through these threads of conversations ❤🎉😊 Have a sunshine ☀️ day So glad you are back 😊looking forward to more beautiful videos from you 🎉😊❤
I’m very glad to see you here again! This is my first time to comment, but your videos always have encouraged me to get through a day. Sending all my love from Tokyo❤
I'm so glad you're back! Hang in there, things will be ok. You're so young, you have plenty of time to find the one who's meant for you. Things like this only make you stronger. Take good care of yourself and plenty of healing thoughts being sent!
Thank you for making this video❤ I'm sorry that you have been going through a hard time this past season. I wish you peace 🕊️ life has been hard for me too the past few years, and this is a wonderful reminder to keep the hope, even when I have a hard time seeing it, so thank you ❤
OH MY GOODNESS!! That was so incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring and hopeful!!! I'm so sorry for what you had to go through the last few months! I wish you the greatest healing and peace and happiness! Your parent's cabin looks so beautiful and the surrounding forest looks so sweet and enchanting and santuary-esque. It's like you're a fairy emerging in spring and finding the light that comes after the storms of winter so that you can bloom again ❤ All the poems you included were so beautiful and really touched my heart, soul and spirit! Thank you so much for being you Randi Lynn Reed!- ive really missed seeing you videos and i'm so glad you're back and better!! 🌟
I'm not crying,you are.....my god the continuous goosebumps i got... I'm really glad you're back.I missed it. You are a very strong person,and you inspire me,thank you so much,for coming back and not giving up on me. Make no mistake Randi ,from pain and grief, beautiful things are reborn.You can do anything,you are indeed a phoenix bird ❤
You obviously have such a beautiful soul, as I can see just by the shots you focus on in your video, the books on your shelf, the art you produce. You exude goodness and radiate beauty. My heart breaks that someone with such a pure spirt needed to walk through these hard times, but you are coming out of it as a diamond or gold.
I have missed you so much and I’m so glad you’re back!! Sorry for what you’re going through. I know you will hear it a zillion times, but it is very true, when one door closes another will open. Keep the Faith 💕
I missed your videos, I'd thought you'd left youtube. I'm so sorry about what you've lost, I can't imagine what that must be like...My best wishes on your healing journey ❤

I wish you all the best and happiness ❤! You are not alone! :)
I am 62. I wish I had the time or money to go and start again like she is doing but easier said than done. 16 years with someone at 62 not sure where you go from there....
You're obviously rising from the ashes. This video was incredibly cinematic. I felt a whole range of emotions with you. If something leaves our lives, it's to make room for something better 💚
Love that, thank you for the beautiful reminder! ♥️
I found the ending of Significant Relationships in my 20s hurt like craaaaazy, almost broke my spirit. But I took the wisdom of the experience and heartache with me and it served to make me deeply intentional in future relationships and highly nurturing of my heart in ways that I was never conscious was possible before. All this to say… yes the sun is rising once again for you, and even brighter I’m sure.
This was SO beautifully written, and just what I needed to hear. Thank you so much for sharing this ♥
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for allowing yourself to be so vulnerable. Yes, change can be awful, and I am so sorry for the pain you have been through. But you come back stronger. I love the scenes of you power walking and chopping wood - they feel so empowering! Your videography is stunning, your art is beautiful, your family has your back, and the healing power of nature has you, too. The joy you show us at the end of the video is so inspiring, so full of hope, and Mary Oliver's words are so perfectly captured as you lift your face to the sun. Thank you and may your journey continue to take you to interesting and wonderful places!
Thank you for this incredibly beautiful message! I am honored to receive such kind and encouraging words, and am so grateful for your presence here! ♥
I'm so glad you're back, Randi! Life has something amazing in store for you because you put out so much good into the world! 🍄✨🐿️
Randi, you are an artist in many ways and a beautiful soul. You have become an important part of my life through your videos. I turn to them for peace and inspiration. You are in my prayers for healing and recovery. May you be blessed, always.
Aw, truly thank you so much. Your words mean more than you know & I am honored to receive them ♥
@@RandiLynnReed You put your videos together with such skill, they flow like a peaceful stream. I hold you in high esteem for your sensitivity, your talent and your beautiful soul.
You’re going to be just fine. We are all rooting for you. You look beautiful and strong and I’m so glad you have Cedar by your side. ❤
Thank you ♥
Wise, brave, beautiful girl…✨✨✨
Oh my honey; so sorry you are going thru such a difficult time. You were greatly missed; and so happy you are back. Beautiful job filming and telling your followers what happened. So happy you have such a lovely place to heal; and relieved to see your beloved dog is with you. Hope you know you are loved by many. Welcome back Randi.
Thank you so much ♥
I’ve been thinking of you often and loved seeing you and your creativity shining through this video again. The cabin looks like such a peaceful and beautiful place to be during a time of loss and then moving forward again. You were missed and I know there’s great joy from many of us in welcoming you back.
Thank you so much for your kind & encouraging words!! ♥️
GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS Amen. We love you sweet sister.
Although we have our solo journeys, please know that there are many of us who have been through this. You will find your new path and most times it changes your life for the very best. Wishing you the very best. You are an amazing talent and have a very bright future. ❤
Thank you so much! Yes, knowing that I am not alone is such a comfort though equally sad that others have to experience such grief and heartbreak. But there is light and hope for all of us! ♥
This is the most beautiful video I have ever seen. Yes, it is permeated with a note of sadness, but you touched my soul. Because I'm also going through hard times, loneliness, but your video gave me strength and hope for the best
Thank you so much for these words of kindness! 💛 wishing you peace as you navigate yours!
Many have gone through the ending of a relationship. It’s really hard but you learn and grow. I went through it and while hard at first I began to feel more beautiful and more “me” than I had felt for a long time. Sometimes things happen for a reason and you are right to realize that life is still beautiful and there is hope! ❤ Best!
Such beautiful, wise words! Thank you for sharing ♥
You HAVE been MISSED! I was concerned about you. Missed your Autumn & Winter videos, I sensed something may have happened… Know you are special and bring comfort and joy to others. You’re young, talented and beautiful, there’s lots of things to look forward too. Sorry for your heartache. Sending hugs with love. 🌷🩷🙏🪴🐇🍄🌸
Needed to add, Fall and Winter can be the worse times for sadness but Spring is here to guide you and help with the healing. Loved seeing your smile. ❤ 🪴🐰
Thank you for there's beautiful words! They encouraged me so. Appreciate you♥️
Your film work was absolutely beautiful!
Randi this is so beautiful and honest. You captured the heartache and the bittersweetness of it all. There's hope and beauty that you shared. Thank you! Many years ago, my relationship of 10+ years abruptly ended and the months after that felt the same way as you captured in this video you created (although with a lot more tears). I know it's a hard time in life, but it helped me grow as a person and start a new chapter. I am forever grateful for that time in my life and the direction it lead me to. I hope it does the same for you. Thank you for sharing and creating this. (also, you're cinematography is just stunning - well done!)
Oh Jaclyn, thank you for sharing this part of your story with me! It is always so comforting to hear from people who are on the other side ♥️ So many tears have been shed, but they are watering the soil for deeper roots & more vibrant blooms! Thank you so much for this beautiful word! I appreciate you so much.
Illness has made me lose my independence and happiness. Though our losses aren’t exactly the same; I found your video to be so heartbreaking yet also so beautiful and healing.
“May we find the light together.” ❤ May we welcome spring and the new beginnings that she brings.
Biggest hugs to you, ♥️
Welcome back Randi, we've missed you! Praying for your healing 🙏 ❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you for coming back! So glad to see you again.
Tears…that poem at the end by Mary Oliver. Beautiful! Welcome back Randi! 😘
Thank you!! She truly has such powerful words!
I'm sorry you're going through this tough time. Just know you're not alone. And I've often felt this sort of thing ends up leading you more to yourself than you realize while going through it ❤
Love this, and will certainly hold onto that truth! ♥️
All of a sudden your video appeared on my screen. What a Godsend! I just lost my husband to cancer and am living helter skelter...lost, confused, no direction, sad, you name it. Your words and video made me breathe deep and start to rethink this solitary journey. Thank you for being there, I am inspired. God Bless you for being such a positive inspiration. P.S. love your Golden, he/she is beautiful.
Welcome back Randi! I was so pleased to see you had a video up. I am so sorry for the trials you have been going through. I believe your channel will be even more successful now and your creativity will blossom. I can see you are strong and resilient . Your videos will bring peace to many.
Thank you so much! That is my only wish, even if it brings comfort to one person, that is enough for me! ♥
Randi!! How wonderful to see you again! So sorry for this season of loss-prayers for brighter days and healing. Thankful that you are sharing your beautiful spirit through these videos again. ❤ Also, the way you read poems is just beautiful 😍 God bless 😊
Thank you so so much ♥
Dear Randi, my heart sanked when I heard your news. I'm so sorry to hear about the difficult, sad, painful and uncertain time you've gone through the last past months. You are such a beautiful person, and you've shared your life and story in such a profound and meditating way. I pray that you will find peace and wonder during your next journey and especially in the nature around you. Many blessings.❤
Thank you so much, Irene! This was so beautiful to read, thank you for sharing ♥️
Send you a big hug. Six months ago I moved from my hometown leaving behind everything I've known, my family and my friends and the places I felt safe for 26 years. I moved with my boyfriend but he's a marine so I spend months alone. I'm healing too, grief has so many shapes...what is important is to continue moving forward. And you are doing it.
Btw this video was so cinematographic and cozy omg.
Love from Argentina x
Thank you so much for sharing your bravery & courage in your own story! It is absolutely inspiring to read. You are doing it too! ♥ Big hugs!
I waited patiently for your return. I'm glad you're here and I wish you all the best. After every storm, the sun comes out and shines even brighter!
Well I have shed some tears watching and listening- for you and for myself as I know how this kind of loss hurts. Huge respect to you for addressing this painful experience with such grace and dignity- and turning sorrow into a thing of beauty. This video will bring comfort to many and hope you find comfort in all of the messages. Cedar adores you and he is wise indeed.
Thank you for sharing such beautiful words! I am honored to receive them! ♥
Oh Randi dear how much have a missed you!, I was so worried about you! Glad to see a video soon. Much love.
Aw thank you so much for your kindness!
I am looking forward to your video, much love!
10:34 que hermoso fue ver una imagen creada por PAOLA MERRILL! Este es el primer video tuyo que veo, y es muy inspirador! Hace 7 meses mi vida cambió por completo, sumiéndome en una obscuridad que no creía poder superar. Todavía no lo hago, pero sé que estoy más cerca de salir de esa tormenta, que sé que tiene mucho que enseñarme de mí misma. ¡Gracias por acompañarnos en este viaje que es la vida!
We’ve been waiting for your return, what a beautiful place to heal and grow! You are as beautiful as ever.
Thank you so much!
So glad you’re back! You’re a strong, brave woman with so much brilliance ahead of you. And we’re here to support you
Thank you ♥
Randi, it is delightful to have you back! You are a creative and you will create a beautiful new chapter of life. I can't wait to see it unfold.
Thank you so much!
The love you seek is inside of you❤
So glad you are back ❤ we're all here to cheer you on and let you know that you're always amazing 🌼🌱🌼
You don’t know me but I am your friend. We are all your friend. We’ve got you girl. Anyone that doesn’t see your worth is a fool.
I said what I said.
This vlog needs an award 🏆
Sending love 🥰
Stunning! Felt like we were walking with you! Gorgeous. Change IS hard, but it can also be oh so good!!! God Bless you!
I could so relate to living the seasons, and am also truly feeling the new life and hope of spring... A new beginning. After a 30 year relationship (26 married) I find myself starting over. It was pretty scary at first, but not as scary as staying where I was, and I feel my wings beginning to grow, and am preparing myself to FLY! Thank you for sharing your journey. Best Wishes! The best is yet to come.
Oh this was SO beautiful to read & so inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing a part of your story & your beautiful perspective. ♥
It is such a joy to see that you are back Randi! This video is everything I needed today! Thank you so much for the beautiful words you share with us, sometimes it feels like your video is made just for me and my needs. Sending love and hugs!
Hey Randi, so glad to see you, it's been really long time, welcome back my friend.. We've missed you beyond belief.. Sorry you've been down lately, but am happy to see you on the upside of life again.. It sucks when things that we thought would last forever, ends, then we are left to pick up the broken pieces and start over.. It takes time to do that, and we are here for you, take all of the time you need...
These are beautiful words of encouragement, thank you so much for sharing them! I receive them with an open heart!
Здравствуйте, дорогая Ренди! Я так рада вас видеть. Вы замечательный, талантливый и добрый человек и я уверена, что все у вас будет хорошо! У вас должно быть все хорошо! Буду рада снова и снова вас видеть и ждать ваши удивительно добрые видео! С большой любовью к вам Наташа из России. ❤❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷💕💕💕💕💕🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Thank you so so much! ♥
So happy to see you back! This video was beautiful in every sense, so thank you for allowing us into this tender spot in your life.
This community is a sisterhood. We are here for you.🙏🏻
Thank you so much Randi for the message of HOPE. I recently moved and life is still upside down but your words touched me just now. Sometimes we can forget about hope... (I am a fellow owl lover.)
You are more than welcome, I am honored to be small part in that reminder! Wishing you light as you continue to adjust to your new situation ♥
What a hard thing to go through. I’m going through a change also that’s so scary. My husband has dementia and everyday I wake up in fear of what’s to come or happen. You are blessed to have such a beautiful cabin and woodland to retreat to. I hope you are getting stronger everyday. I’ll hold your hand if you’ll hold mine. 😅😅
Aw, sending you the biggest hugs, Colleen! What an uncertain & scary time that must be. I pray for peace for your mind and a gentle kindness to meet you and your husband each day. ♥
@@RandiLynnReed you are the sweetest. Thank you so much. And keep those beautiful videos coming. You are so loved here.
I'm happy that you are healing and you're here again, our little Ray of Light ❤
Randi you are back ❤ sooo glad to see you when I saw the video my heart was filled with joy...you look incredible and I am praying for you during this time of change..the video was simply stunning as usual
Thank you so so much! ♥️
Happy to see you again 🤗☀🌻 Happy Easter 🐣

It feels great when I see you spinning freely ❤❤❤ it touches my heart
I hope this is not a dumb thing to say, but this video has a beautiful sort of saddness to it. And also a lot of warmth and light and hope.
Your words are absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for sharing ♥
I’m in tears watching- incredible video as always xxx
So beautiful. Glad you are healing. You are so creative!! Welcome back
I love to think that it is through the pain we navigate that we become the strong blooming flowers we are destined to be. Your beautiful poetic video really encapsulated this very message, Randi. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable and honest video. Wishing you so much healing and love during this restoration process. Glad to see you back on here.
I so resonate & deeply agree with that imagery! Thank you so much for sharing and for being here ♥
This video is so beautiful, but the most beautiful part is your soul, Randi.
God has your future in His Hands, so keep living right here in the present moment. I admire you more than you know... Thank you for being who God created you to be.
Thank you so so much for you kindness & encouragement ♥️

Thank you so much for these incredibly kind words ♥
You have come through your experience more radiant than ever. A soft beautiful radiance. Change, even the heart-wounding kind, often transforms into a gift that brings us closer to our dreams and where we are truly meant to be.
This was so beautifully written, just what I needed to hear! Thank you so much for sharing this ❤
Such a beautiful video. Loved the poetry too and your message. So wonderful to see you posting more too. Change is hard no doubt, but often we become stronger and a better version of ourselves on the other side. You are amazing and will achieve your best life! Stay strong and keeping moving forward! 🩵

OH MY GOODNESS!! That was so incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring and hopeful!!! I'm so sorry for what you had to go through the last few months! I wish you the greatest healing and peace and happiness! Your parent's cabin looks so beautiful and the surrounding forest looks so sweet and enchanting and santuary-esque. It's like you're a fairy emerging in spring and finding the light that comes after the storms of winter so that you can bloom again ❤ All the poems you included were so beautiful and really touched my heart, soul and spirit! Thank you so much for being you Randi Lynn Reed!- ive really missed seeing you videos and i'm so glad you're back and better!! 🌟

Thank you so much for your beautiful words! They are so appreciated ♥️
You obviously have such a beautiful soul, as I can see just by the shots you focus on in your video, the books on your shelf, the art you produce. You exude goodness and radiate beauty. My heart breaks that someone with such a pure spirt needed to walk through these hard times, but you are coming out of it as a diamond or gold.
I have missed you so much and I’m so glad you’re back!! Sorry for what you’re going through. I know you will hear it a zillion times, but it is very true, when one door closes another will open. Keep the Faith 💕
So happy to see you here again ! Wish you the sweetest spring
I missed your videos, I'd thought you'd left youtube. I'm so sorry about what you've lost, I can't imagine what that must be like...My best wishes on your healing journey ❤
