A magical video as always. Have you heard of the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery called Kintsugi? They make the repair using a lacquer mixed with gold powder thereby celebrating the break rather than attempting to hide it. I think there is something so powerful and beautiful about that. If we could do that with ourselves wouldn't it be transformative. Blessings from Wales
Literally came here to say the exact same thing!! Also the phrase “comparison is the thief of joy” applies too! I’m guilty of that as well- try to give yourself grace Desi ❤️ obviously your community loves your work and efforts 🥰🥰
Thank you for not rushing through fall/November. It seems every other content creator is already on to Christmas, and no one is embracing this slow and cozy time. And everyone else has already said it, but I’ll say it too - your videos are worth waiting for. They are well thought out, beautifully made, and every time one of your videos pop up I just know I’m going to be uplifted & swept away by the aesthetic. Thank you for your videos Desi 💖
Thank you so much for saying that 🥹🫶🏻 I think those other content creators who put Christmas content out in November is perfect for those who are already ready for Christmas, just like me putting autumn content out in August is perfect for those who are ready for fall. I love that everyone has their own interests and that there’s something for everyone ☺️ It would be so borning if all content creators were the same 🤍
@@DarlingDesi I couldn't agree more! I'm from TX and the jump to Christmas is just hard for me when it's still so warm out, so I appreciate a slower transition. Seeing scenery & feeling vibes that are so autumnal is a nice escape from what we tend to have here. But don't get me wrong, I also LOVE Christmas (& it's my birthday month) so I am very much looking forward to your upcoming videos ✨😊
“She is a beautiful piece of broken pottery, put back together by her own hands. And the critical world judges her cracks while missing the beauty of how she made herself whole again.” - JM Storm ♥️
Desi - I actually love the pacing of how your videos are released. It’s not over-saturated and it’s quality. You have magic in your videos and can tell how much love and time you put into them. Comparison is the thief of happiness. I know it’s hard to work through, but know you are your worst critic. You have your fans support ♥️
Thank you for your kind words at the end of the video!❤️ please don’t stress about keeping up with other creators, you are so special and nobody creates magic like you. Love you!
You cannot compare your videos to many other creators, who upload their content more often. Your videos are little movies and masterpieces. I cant imagine how time consuming it is. And I love this effort so much and would wait months for it. So don't feel pressured. I think all your fans feel the same🧡🧡🧡
Oh, Desi. You are the purest, most special soul. Only you could pull me out of Christmas back to November. This video is beautiful and Jared’s love for you is so evident. The world needs more Desi’s.
This last section of the video just made me tear up. Thank you so much for this inspirational ending, it really made me feel stronger 🥺❤️ And Desi, please don't stress yourself when it comes to creating content as fast as possible. You make different kinds of videos that really their take time. Every single one of them is like a very aesthetically pleasing short film. There is a concept behind it and I can imagine that it takes a lot of time to film even the shortest sequences. You produce a very special kind of art that I value a lot. It's a spark of magic that every video of yours have. They are whimsical and enchanting and very well made! They take time and this is absolutely understandable. 🤍 Lots of love ❤️
Finally, a creator that doesn't push Christmas. I am so happy, because is still Autumn! Yes, we can think and dream, but let's enjoy what is given to us 🍂🍂🍂
That skit with Jared was so adorable! Also, I’m glad you put the mug back together and celebrated its brokenness, just like the Japanese with the gold kintsugi. It is more beautiful now! This video was a work of art. We appreciate you!! 🍂🍁❤
I love ❤️ seeing people who have found their people who fit them and who they are so well ,and make one another happy. I am so lucky for my husband and best friend who loves doing things I like and same here, but it's so sweet to have someone you can play with and imagine and be all the parts of yourself. Beautiful 😍
You are soooo TALENTED! Thank you for your work! Oh, please do more of those scenes. It was funny because we knew it was not the movie, but it was still soooo much fun. I loved it!
Oh my, the end of this video really got me and I can relate so much since I've been dealing with a chronic illness the past couple years. I just need to tell you - YOU ARE SO VERY LOVED AND APPRECIATED HERE! You could put out one video a year and I would still be soooo excited to see that notification. I know how hard it is to feel like you're not at your best, but your content is so valuable to me - it reminds me to slow down and savor this beautiful life even when it isn't perfect, and that the little things can add up to big joy. Thank you for continuing to show up for us even though it's harder now! Everything you post is beautiful and inspiring and entirely worth the wait❤❤❤
IT is a good morning I get to see your awesome videos they are so beautiful.And as far as little women go I'm so glad you got to see that house.And I actually watched little women last night and I have two little women books.I absolutely love your content.And I also wish there were more people in the world like you.And remember to always do something for yourself.Im just quoting you .🎉🎉😊😊
As someone dealing with the chronic illness aa well, I feel you ❤ But, we are enough. We are doing more than enough. We love your videos and so not want you to feel pressured to create faster / more.
I actually teared up when you recreated the scene from Little Women, it‘s just too cute 🥹 You and Jonna Jinton will forever be my favourite UA-camrs 🍂❄️
They are my faves too! Have you also watched The Cottage Fairy and Valerie Lin? I think you would like them. I feel like those are the youtubers for the quiet, sweet, sensitive, creative types☺️🌻
@@Medicinal.Meditations Yes I watch the Cottage Fairy too! Also Ruby Granger, Unjaded Jade, Leah‘s Fieldnotes and Morgan Long, they all make this type of cozy, slow living, romanticising life type of content. ☺️
Oh Desi...I'm crying as I write this. First of all, you are enough just as you are so never compare yourself to others. Listening to your analogy of the mug and our brokenness touched me so deeply. I feel very broken in this season of my life and many days are a struggle. Thank you so much for reminding me to love and care for myself. You are such a sweet and beautiful soul and your videos never fail to bring me joy. ❤
As a 58 yr old women living with lymphoma, I understand how you feel. I appreciate your time and effort that goes into making videos.....beautiful ones at that. Your little candle holder is charming. Cracks add character ;) Every day is a blessing! Thank you.
As a November baby, I appreciate you romanticising this month. I also appreciate that you take your time with your content, it shows!! There’s so many creators out there churning out high consumption/hauls & it can feel overwhelming. I love that you thrift & go to antique stores & that you focus more on living in the moment & not on what to buy next. It’s such a safe place to come & relax & although I’ve often been inspired to buy a book you’re reading or a candle (or a sweatshirt 😉), I never feel pressured or inadequate if I don’t. I hope you see this & know that both you & Jared & your fur babies are providing such quality, inspiring & gentle content & it’s head & shoulders above the rest 🍁🧡💛🤎🍂
Desi, don’t stress about putting out videos. Your videos are waaaay better than anyone else’s IMO and I enjoy them much more. So please take your time we all love you and the effort you make. Every video is special in its own way. I was also sick for 2 years and your health is more important than anything else. ♥️♥️♥️🎄🎄🎄❄️❄️❄️
Agreed! Desi's videos are like little movies; it feels like she puts more of herself and her heart into one video than some other creators put into a year's worth of videos. I feel lucky that we get to watch her content for free!
When you and Jared re-enacted the hill scene!!! 🥹🧡🧡🧡 Love love love! This video is a work of art and your beautiful words at the end really spoke to me. Your videos are absolute treasures…and I look forward to your “November” video all year. You are lovely, darling Desi! 💛 xo Amber
I came for the autumnal vibes, left in tears because of your beautiful, inspirational words. You are such a gift to us all. Thank you for this beautiful video!
Dear Desi, I don't know if you'll ever see this comment in the sea of others, but I wanted to say anyway, that I think this is probably my favorite video you've ever made. I'm laying in my room in the middle of the night, with a cough and stuffed up nose from a cold, and I'm also chronically ill, and the last section of this video made me flat out cry. I have had so many hard times already in my young life, been struggling with mold illness for 5 years now, probably longer really, and so many times I have felt broken, defeated, and like there was no point to my existence because I am weak and delicate, and can't be very productive or fast about things a lot of the time either. But, I am still here, and you are right, just because you bow before the storm, doesn't make you weak, because only the trees that bend are still standing when the sun returns. And every time you survive another storm, you become wiser and stronger for it. It's so easy to forget that it actually takes strength and courage just to be, to get up and to continue on, when life is so hard sometimes. I am proud of you, and how strong you are, and I want to thank you for reaching out and touching my heart today, I needed it. Happiest November, and all the very best wishes for the future, for both of us. 💖
The candle holder story….I swear it was made just for me. Remember faster doesn’t equate to better. Good things come to those who wait, and we are willing to wait.
I couldn't stop smiling when you recreated the Little Women scene, it was so genuine and lovely ! Thanks for always being this ray of joy and beauty. Take care :)
The commentary about still being valuable even when chipped and broken in places triggered the tears today. I’ve been on the healing journey after Covid as well with weird health issues and unusual diagnoses, and it’s been an ongoing struggle to get back to full strength. Your words of kindness to everyone else - and to yourself - are so appreciated. You truly have one of the sweetest hearts and it shows in your videos, so thank you. I remind my bestie all the time since we’ve both gone through life altering illness: “We did not get sick because we were weak; We survived because we are strong.” I write that in my journal as often as I need to hear it. Love you! 💕
Thank you for sharing your struggle with Lyme's disease! I teared up noticing how many in the comments have to deal with chronic illnesses, it lets me know I'm not alone. Illness can be very isolating. I think that's what attracts so many of us to slower living and the small joys in life as well as the large. I always try to appreciate November and Thanksgiving, it's still fall after all! Don't worry about uploading. Your work is such high quality in thought and presentation. Frequent uploaders aren't quite as artistically presented. I notice a difference, even in the one's I enjoy.
"To be proud of yourself; to know you wouldn't be here right now if you hadn't been strong..." This is so healing for me. I started crying hearing that. I'm going through a rough mental patch right now because I'm realizing my body cannot do all the things I want to do and be as productive as others seem to be. I have been feeling guilty and useless.. But your words made me remember my worth, my strength. Three times in the past 15 years, I have contemplated suicide, but it was my strength that made me want to fight. Thank you, Desi, for reminding me of this truth.
Desi, I'm not really someone who comments on videos but I felt the need to say this. I never viewed your videos as 'content'. Content creation feels impersonal, it feels fleeting. I find your videos to be my time away from my fast life. A safe space. What matters isn't that you put videos on your channel every day, but that you put your thoughts into them and release them when you can put effort into them. And you do that just fine. So thank you!
Omg i don’t think I’ve seen this much of Jared in a video before! Your relationship is so wholesome 🥺🧡 Also you’re doing just enough Desi! The content you put out is pure magic and I think we can all agree that we would rather you post content slower than to push yourself in unhealthy ways 🧡🧡🧡
Desi, you are not cracked and you are not broken, you are perfect, just the way you are, with a unique set of gifts given to you that only you can contribute to the world. If you do want any help at all with your UA-cam channel to speed things up, I'm a UA-camr myself who's looking for a side job in order to continue doing what I love to do. I went to Film school at BU, and can help with anything from help with filming (I live in your area), to editing, to helping with shorts-- helping you would help me too. But even if thats not something you're looking for, your videos are a gift, you are a gift, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Yes!! I adore November. It’s a time life slows down and I think about all the things I’m grateful for in my life. I bake pies, look for acorns with my young son, knit, craft…I love Christmas, but when it’s shoved at you in October, you’re kind of burnt out by the time December gets here, and it makes it less special. Slow down and enjoy what each season has to offer 💛 PS. I read Little Women 25 years ago and I’m still upset about Jo and Laurie 😆
november is just so blah for me, thanksgiving in canada is in october...november? november has remebrance day, its either a time to reflect and be somber or just ignore all of that and be immidately christmas, it doesn't feel ike you can enjoy fall.... its cold and rainy and misrable all the leaves are gone but it hasn't snowed yet. it just feels like nothing and you can't just enjoy the quiet time before winter. thank you for making this video. going to try some things to make november special
Desi, I think this is my favorite video I’ve watched yet! (And I’ve watched A LOT of yours 😊). First of all, thank you for showing those moments of you and Jared together! That hill scene was just adorable. ❤ You are making such wonderful memories together and it honestly just reminds me that these are the things that really matter. Finding magic in the ordinary with those that we love and taking the time to remember all the reasons why we love them. Also, thank you for such a beautiful ending! Your encouraging words bring me to tears and you have such simple but powerful truths to share! I hope you never doubt your worth because your quantity of content might not be the same as others. Trust me, we all know the quality is amazing!! You are such a light to so many people and are loved more than you know! ❤❤❤
The last part was really moving and totally hit a soft spot in me. I have cancer and some days are harder than others, more painful, so sad that it would be so easy for me to just lay in bed and never do anything again. But exactly like you I remind myself that just because i can't have my life like it was before, just because sometimes i'm too tired or i need extra rest, doesn't mean i can't try and live my best life on my good days. And I will until i can! Let's be strong because we deserve a good, magical life ❤
Just wanted you to know how much your videos bring this old vintage girl joy! I’m 53 years old and I absolutely love what you create! My girls and I immerse ourselves in the seasons…especially Fall & winter, and your videos always give us ideas and inspiration. So aesthetic and beautiful. Thank you for all the inspiration over the years! ❤
"Something being broken or weak does not deem it useless or of little value" during the part with the clay candle holder... omg. That made me so emotional 🩷
Just to let you know, yes you may not get videos out as often as others, but many of us are very excited to find a new video up and ready. And your videos are always such a joy to watch! So always take care of yourself first and don’t worry what other creators are doing. Your doing an amazing job. I will wait for your videos patiently and enjoy them as they come!
And thank you so much for your beautiful words at the end- we’re all so valuable, even if we are broken. It reminds me of Lilo & Stitch, when Stitch says this is his family, “little and broken, but still good.”
I love that you appreciate November for itself. I find it really annoying when everyone jumps directly from Halloween to Christmas. For me, November is a time for self reflection and self care and one of my favourite holidays, Thanksgiving. It is the most dark academia month ever!
There’s nothing annoying about people being excited to move on to Christmas decors and activities. What’s weird is criticizing what people find joy and enjoyment in.
@@sundaylibre I prefer to spend my November appreciating the transition from fall to winter, without any Christmas involved in the mix, but to each their own :)
You are a gift to this world and your videos are well worth waiting for no matter how often they come. You bring such a sense of calm and cosiness to so many of us just when we need it the most and we love you just as you are ❤
I also have Lymes and hearing you talk about feeling like you don't have as much energy as others and you're just not fast enough honestly made me start to cry. I feel the same exact way. It just takes so much out of you and no one seems to understand that. It's so reassuring to hear that this is a shared experience. Thank you for speaking on it ❤
Yes November does get somewhat overlooked till Thanksgiving arrives. Your video though celebrates November in such a warm and cozy way. Just enjoyed the scene on the hill. What a neat idea!! Thank you for such a cozy video!!😊
I just turned 70 and I feel like I am 20. You have learned a very important lesson in life. It’s not the outcome that really matters at all but that you thoroughly enjoyed the process. You will find greater joy in life. I am an artist and I speak to many artists and they are frustrated that they can’t sell their paintings but they rush through them rather than enjoying the process and it really shows in the painting. I am not saying a painting has to be perfect at all but you can tell if someone put their heart in it. I love your candle holder all the more for the cracks and that you took the time to fix them made it more special. I love how you make the ordinary moments into something special. That’s the way we should all live. 🥰
My favorite video of yours this year so far. What you said at the end of your video touched me in such a way. You brought tears to my eyes. That's how I feel sometimes in my life. Thank you
You're officially my therapist, I always say this as a joke but I truly feel better when I watch your videos. They give me piece and I feel like I have a purpose and I'm exciting to do things. I felt your words at the end very deeply. I often feel broken and useless and not productive enough, and while I could do more I also want to remind myself that it's okay, that I don't have to be productive all the time to be worthy. So a huge thank you to you Desi, your smile and your words always brighten up my day. Also, I loved the Little Women reenactment! 🥰🥰
I really felt the last part of the video... At the moment I'm not feeling that great and I don't have the energy to do something for myself, because I'm feeling so tired all the time. Working full time, doing a bachelor degree beside it and my dad having cancer is too much lately. This was also a reminder for myself to make time to do the things I like. And to not feel guilty for not being ''productive''... Thank you ❤
The scene with you and Jared reenacting the Little Women scene made me smile. 😊 Also, I'd just like to say that even though you do produce less content, your content is far superior to any of the other youtubers I watch. The love and care that you put into every video is obvious. I imagine that all the different shots you have takes a ton of time, as does editing I'm sure. You're doing good Desi and you are certainly enough.
I loved this so much, I shared it with my two bffs, and one of my sisters, because I want them to take 15 minutes of their day feeling as I did watching this: slow, relaxed, calm, happy, inspired to seek joy wherever and whenever I can, to be true to my core self, and to take in the reminder that nothing we ever enjoy doing is a waste of time if it doesn't yield the results we want. As a copyeditor, I've worked to deadline for 20 years, always pursuing the end. Only now am I really starting to learn to enjoy process over end result, and doing puzzles has helped me with it. Anyway, your content is so delightful, honest, joyful, humorous, and wondrous, as well as immersive and endearing, that I choose you over all the others. I don't care how often you post. Your quality is worth any wait, and each post is a treat. You are doing everything just right. xo Thank you.
As a November baby I've always LOVED November and while as a child I was just so excited for Christmas, the last few years I've loved savouring the Novemberness of the month. There's plenty of time for Christmassy things. Last weekend we had our wedding celebration and I couldn't have picked a better month for it! It was so magical with the dark skies and the autumnal colours 🥰
Faster is not always better! I think the pause of waiting with anticipation for the next video, and not having one right after the other quickly, is much more akin to why we watch you! To slow down and savor and appreciate the quality of what we are watching. You are doing beautifully, don’t put those weights of comparison on yourself! ❤
Love love love this! 🥺 You and Jared recreating that scene from Little Women was adorable. The whole video was therapeutic and the anecdote about the broken mug was beautiful 💗. Take care, Desi!
Beautiful video ! So uplifting you take us away to beautiful places in your videos ! Love them to pieces ! Can’t wait for your Christmas content and decorating video ! I also can’t wait for your cosy, Christmas book reading list ! I’m looking for new books to read, hallmark style. Love a good romance book around Christmas . I adore the hallmark channel ! I can’t wait to see your Christmas cooking ideas too ! Desi’s you tube is just dreamy and filled with kindness - everyone deserves to feel special especially around the holidays ! X
I love your candle mug. It's so sweet. Thank you for that kind message. It really landed for me. When my mom died three years ago... it shattered me. I keep finding pieces of myself and I'm trying to glue them back in place again. When I'm kind to myself the pieces stick but when I'm not the pieces don't. It's a work in progress. It's a beautiful life and I'm deeply grateful for it and who I am.
Another beautiful video! I have a chronic illness too and I didn't know how much I needed to hear what you said at the end. I can relate so very much to what you were saying and I will endeavour to carry your reminder with me. Thank you so much Desi! x Also, you and Jared seem like such lovely, sweet, fun people! Hope you're both having a lovely week x
I struggled with Lyme for a very long time and I can’t express enough how calming your videos have been for my mental state & how I feel I can connect with you even more after this video. I’ve also used thrive in the past to help ❤️. Thank you for being you 🫶🏽
🍁🧡 Yes!!! 🙌🏻 I love Autumn, and I don’t understand why people want to rush to Christmas before Thanksgiving! 🤷🏻♀️ Autumn is such a cozy & magical time of year! ✨
@@sundaylibre It’s fine to enjoy Autumn and Christmas decor together of course if that makes you happy! 🥰 For me personally, I prefer to enjoy them separately. They are both magical to me. I still have lots of fall leaves, autumn trees, and pumpkins surrounded in fairy lights out. 🍂✨ I also extend Christmas into January, so it lasts a long time for me. 😂 To each their own! Find joy and spread love. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season! ❤️
Dear Desi, Today I'm having an awful day. Watching your videos on dark days like today, always helps me to calm down, breathe in and out and remind myself, that I am good the way I am and that I don't need to be flawless and wear a fake smile every single day. You have no idea, how this little candle holder story saved my day today. That's exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing your creativity, calmness, ideas, stories and love with us. ❤
I have really severe OCD, and have been going through a relapse after almost a year in recovery. I've been feeling so hopeless and sad until today, when I had a really healing session with my therapist. Afterwards, I wanted to bask in this healed and soft and happy feeling, and I thought what better way to do that than make a cup of tea and catch up on your videos. Your words about broken things still having value, and our struggles making us stronger and precious hit me right in my heart, and I couldn't keep from crying. Thank you for your videos, and the hope and joy you offer the world. You are so deeply appreciated.
Why do we push autumn aside? Looks out the window: ❄️ No autumn here 😂 Still, lovely video. They always make me feel so cosy inside. Now to cuddle up with a book and watch the snow ❤️
I was waiting for this! I had the same thought as soon as November 1st came around. Everyone’s talking about winter and Christmas and putting out decorations- but… it’s still autumn! November is such a beautiful month in its own right and it’s usually forgotten and invisible because everyone is in such a rush to be somewhere that, if we’re being honest, hasn’t even remotely gotten here yet. I saw someone post “40 sleeps until Christmas!” And I was like… that’s an entire month plus!! I love November where I live- a lot of the trees are still turning and are even more are at their peak colors, while many others have lost their leaves. The weather is so nice, everything is calm and quiet and there’s rainy days to comfort you and so much to look at before winter comes and everything is frozen and quiet and sleepy… Can we just enjoy the days we’re living as they come and not rush to a moment that WILL eventually get here anyway?
Less is more I watch your videos all the way through and actually replay the old ones constantly throughout the year. Your videos never get old . Therefore you don’t need to over produce due to algorithms. Darling Desi is a morning staple in my home no matter the season . Do what you love when you love it and we will find YOU dear. Cheers to just being you … isn’t it magnificent.
I started sobbing when you glued the mug together. That’s something I would have done. Your message at the end was profound and it touched my heart. Thank you for your warmth and your wisdom.
I just wanted to say (as a videographer myself), I'm so glad you don't post as often as other youtubers because the care and time you've put into your videos SHOWS. Pushing out content for its own sake is a creativity killer, but you put out something truly beautiful and stunning every. single. time. because you paced yourself to achieve the end result you want. Keep going at your own pace - it's working out for you in such a gorgeous way.
Thank you for the broken clay story at the end. It was beautiful. It reminded me of the Japanese art Kintsugi where a piece of broken pottery is put back together and they mend the cracks with gold, making it more beautiful than before. I have a disability and chronic pain is a part of that but every day I thank God I am here and I have a purpose.
Hi Desi, I'm not sure if someone has already told you but I wonder if you've ever heard of the Japanese art of kintsugi - basically it is the art of repairing broken pottery with gold or silver lacquer - it doesn't just fix the ceramics and make the breaks invisible, it draws attention to the broken places and highlights them and makes them beautiful, it shows that breaking and healing and repair are all a part of the history of something and not something we need to hide away. I write about this a lot as someone who also has chronic illness and it is a lovely way of thinking about life and bodies. Thank you for such a lovely video - also so nice to see Jared!
Dear Desi, We've been watching ur videos for abt 2 yrs now. Me and my daughter decorate our house with the flowers we picked up from ur garden. Every time we watch a ur videos it encourages us to pursue our dreams of a more peaceful and beautiful life. Thank u so much Desi and Jared for spreading the beauty of ur souls. God bless u and have a sweet November.❤❤
I am glad you saw the beauty in the candle mug cracks and all! Being able to bring us content when you can is a gift to us. I hope you see how happy you make us!
Desi, don't worry about keeping up with all the other creators. The fact that you aren't currently able to churn out content quickly, whether intentional or not, actually fits the atmosphere of your channel. I come to your videos for a chance to slow down and breathe....a break from this hurry scurry life we live. And the fact that your videos aren't available regularly makes them that much more special...a treat to be savored. And if we had them all the time, well then they probably wouldn't be quite as special.😉Sending you loads of love and hugs and wishing you better health as we embark on another beautiful holiday season.💖
My favourite part of this video is the end and your words about the broken clay. I personally prefer channels when the content isn't uploaded all the time or on a predictable day. Too much content takes away the novelty. A new video uploaded when I'm not expecting feels like a sweet special treat. I'm much more present when I watch and soak up all the beauty and goodness of it. I guess it's not great for the UA-cam algorithm, but there is something special about these types of videos. They exude warmth and love.
no but i literally started crying on the last part. i too often feel like i'm weak and that's something "bad", but i realize that I need to show more grace to myself in those moments. Thank you for the reminder, Desi
Here in VT we refer to this time as "Stick Season" - it's actually a really great time to do a lot of outdoor things. Birds are easier to see without leaves on the trees, views from mountain tops are nicer, the air is cooler and the bugs are gone (well except ticks 🤢). It's a great time of year.
As soon as I saw your thumbnail, I knew where you were. We almost got married at the inn since we love old properties. The scene of little woman... you can see the antique house we remodeled and moved from a couple of years ago. I have some amazing shots from standing on the hill through the years. I've been watching your channel from the start and I loved seeing your move here. I knew you would fit right in!!!! My channel is all about my love of old New England and I still have so much to see, even after being here 58 years. When you return to Concord, if you did not get to poet hill at Sleep Hollow Cemetery, many famous New England writers are there, including Louisa. PS: the amount of content you are sharing with us now, makes us look forward to them. Taking care of yourself is more important. "do as I say, not as I do" LOL
I know you might tend to worry about your content vs others, but I'm genuinely saying that you are the best creator for cozy joyful videos. Even if you're not uploading as many as you'd like to, your videos still are my favorite to see pop up in my notifications. They are so great and even like watching a mini movie now. Thank you!!
I like your thinking on the seasons and how you are who you are. Not always a fake and making excuses. When you do up load a video no matter what it is I always know I'm going to enjoy it. Yes nobody's perfect and making videos and caring to much what people think has to really hard, but you just be you and that's what I'm here for.
Oh Desi, you are incredible. You’ve moved me to tears with the clay story. Please know you are of value no matter how much content you put out or how much you post on social media. Lots of love to you and thank you for creating just as much as you are able at a given moment. ❤
It's so true that we often feel we are not enough, or that we don't measure up to or can't compete with others when, as you say, in actual fact we are enough and we are worthy. I have to say that in November particularly, I have these feelings, as the days darken earlier etc. It is a struggle. But we can come out of it by remembering that we are enough and that there is beauty in the simple things and that we just have to see it and appreciate it. Especially when it comes to ourselves. Your video points this out in a very aesthetic way!! Much appreciated too!
Your skit was adorable. Your comment about the broken ceramic candle holder was heartfelt. And like others mentioned, your videos are little stories/movies. What you put out is thoughtful and magical.
Talking about being cracked and broken always reminds of this quote. “The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.” -Hemingway
Bravo 👏🏻 for holding on Autumn and enjoy TODAY and not rush like crazy into Christmas like most social media is doing. In the old days, people used to enjoy every season naturally and make it last. I’m glad you listen to your heart and common sense, that makes you unique . Beautiful video ❤🇲🇽
Don't beat yourself up because your not putting content out as quickly as others Desi....The important thing is to take care & nature yourself first ❤ I always look forward to your videos ~ They are aesthetically beautiful, full of color, comfort & joy! You always inspire me to try new things & to be more present & grateful in my own life! Sending lots of love 😘
Dear Desi, I don't know who posts videos faster than you, but it's your videos that bring me the most joy! I'm not saying this to just uplift you, I absolutely mean it! It is so rare for the video not only be visually appealing, but also leave the warm feeling inside where I find myself smiling after the video. It's absolutely priceless! Besides all the beauty of this video! The scene with your husband was so sweet. Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul with us. Love, from Caucasus
Desi the clay mug message made me cry, such a powerful meaning that touched my heart and I really needed it. You’re such a beautiful soul and your contents always fill mine with joy and love for life, thank you🫶🏻🤍🥹
You’re living proof that you can be grown up and still be enchanted with life in a childlike way. Thank you ♥️
Yes!! I love this about Desi so much!! This outlook on life is the best way to be! ✨
Thank you for saying that 🥹🫶🏻 I think it’s the best way to live!
You don’t sleep WITH YOUR HUBBY why?
@@wanya_telborn
Because like many people, she knows how important good quality sleep is. Is doesn’t mean they can’t be together anytime they want. :)
A magical video as always. Have you heard of the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery called Kintsugi? They make the repair using a lacquer mixed with gold powder thereby celebrating the break rather than attempting to hide it. I think there is something so powerful and beautiful about that. If we could do that with ourselves wouldn't it be transformative. Blessings from Wales
I was just thinking the same thing while watching, such a beautiful sentiment we could apply to our own lives 💛
Literally came here to say the exact same thing!! Also the phrase “comparison is the thief of joy” applies too! I’m guilty of that as well- try to give yourself grace Desi ❤️ obviously your community loves your work and efforts 🥰🥰
Yes, they are so beautiful with the gold painted cracks.
Same thoughts here too!
Came here to say the same thing! Lovely video, as always, with a beautiful message!
You guys re-creating the scene between Laurie and Jo was the cutest!
Haha thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Thank you for not rushing through fall/November. It seems every other content creator is already on to Christmas, and no one is embracing this slow and cozy time. And everyone else has already said it, but I’ll say it too - your videos are worth waiting for. They are well thought out, beautifully made, and every time one of your videos pop up I just know I’m going to be uplifted & swept away by the aesthetic. Thank you for your videos Desi 💖
Thank you so much for saying that 🥹🫶🏻 I think those other content creators who put Christmas content out in November is perfect for those who are already ready for Christmas, just like me putting autumn content out in August is perfect for those who are ready for fall. I love that everyone has their own interests and that there’s something for everyone ☺️ It would be so borning if all content creators were the same 🤍
@@DarlingDesi I couldn't agree more! I'm from TX and the jump to Christmas is just hard for me when it's still so warm out, so I appreciate a slower transition. Seeing scenery & feeling vibes that are so autumnal is a nice escape from what we tend to have here. But don't get me wrong, I also LOVE Christmas (& it's my birthday month) so I am very much looking forward to your upcoming videos ✨😊
“She is a beautiful piece of broken pottery, put back together by her own hands. And the critical world judges her cracks while missing the beauty of how she made herself whole again.”

Love this😭
Oh my God-this!❤
Desi - I actually love the pacing of how your videos are released. It’s not over-saturated and it’s quality. You have magic in your videos and can tell how much love and time you put into them.
Comparison is the thief of happiness. I know it’s hard to work through, but know you are your worst critic. You have your fans support ♥️
Oh my goodness thank you 🥹😭🫶🏻
Thank you for your kind words at the end of the video!❤️ please don’t stress about keeping up with other creators, you are so special and nobody creates magic like you. Love you!
You cannot compare your videos to many other creators, who upload their content more often. Your videos are little movies and masterpieces. I cant imagine how time consuming it is.
And I love this effort so much and would wait months for it. So don't feel pressured. I think all your fans feel the same🧡🧡🧡
I do!
Same!❤🎉
Absolutely! 100% well said!
Absolutely this!!! ❤❤
Agreed!
Oh, Desi.
You are the purest, most special soul. Only you could pull me out of Christmas back to November.
This video is beautiful and Jared’s love for you is so evident. The world needs more Desi’s.
😭 This is the sweetest comment!! Desi is truly so special!!
This last section of the video just made me tear up. Thank you so much for this inspirational ending, it really made me feel stronger 🥺❤️
And Desi, please don't stress yourself when it comes to creating content as fast as possible. You make different kinds of videos that really their take time. Every single one of them is like a very aesthetically pleasing short film. There is a concept behind it and I can imagine that it takes a lot of time to film even the shortest sequences. You produce a very special kind of art that I value a lot. It's a spark of magic that every video of yours have. They are whimsical and enchanting and very well made! They take time and this is absolutely understandable. 🤍 Lots of love ❤️
Finally, a creator that doesn't push Christmas. I am so happy, because is still Autumn! Yes, we can think and dream, but let's enjoy what is given to us 🍂🍂🍂
That skit with Jared was so adorable! Also, I’m glad you put the mug back together and celebrated its brokenness, just like the Japanese with the gold kintsugi. It is more beautiful now! This video was a work of art. We appreciate you!! 🍂🍁❤
What a good sport Jared is!! 😂❤ A darling husband for a darling girl. Thank you for the gentle November reminders, Desi 🍂
I always think this too. 🥰
yes he seems so dear.
I love ❤️ seeing people who have found their people who fit them and who they are so well ,and make one another happy. I am so lucky for my husband and best friend who loves doing things I like and same here, but it's so sweet to have someone you can play with and imagine and be all the parts of yourself. Beautiful 😍
What an unexpected and so-much-needed-right-now treat video🧡Thank you, Desi!
I really hope you enjoy it 🫶🏻🧡
You are soooo TALENTED! Thank you for your work! Oh, please do more of those scenes. It was funny because we knew it was not the movie, but it was still soooo much fun. I loved it!
Fav part: you and Jared as Laurie and Jo! It was so cute!
Oh my, the end of this video really got me and I can relate so much since I've been dealing with a chronic illness the past couple years. I just need to tell you - YOU ARE SO VERY LOVED AND APPRECIATED HERE! You could put out one video a year and I would still be soooo excited to see that notification. I know how hard it is to feel like you're not at your best, but your content is so valuable to me - it reminds me to slow down and savor this beautiful life even when it isn't perfect, and that the little things can add up to big joy. Thank you for continuing to show up for us even though it's harder now! Everything you post is beautiful and inspiring and entirely worth the wait❤❤❤
My exact feelings ❤
SAAAAME!!
IT is a good morning I get to see your awesome videos they are so beautiful.And as far as little women go I'm so glad you got to see that house.And I actually watched little women last night and I have two little women books.I absolutely love your content.And I also wish there were more people in the world like you.And remember to always do something for yourself.Im just quoting you .🎉🎉😊😊
i had the same feeling. I am also dealing with chronic illness and your words Desi, made me cry but in a good way. thank you
As someone dealing with the chronic illness aa well, I feel you ❤ But, we are enough. We are doing more than enough. We love your videos and so not want you to feel pressured to create faster / more.
I actually teared up when you recreated the scene from Little Women, it‘s just too cute 🥹
You and Jonna Jinton will forever be my favourite UA-camrs 🍂❄️
They are my faves too! Have you also watched The Cottage Fairy and Valerie Lin? I think you would like them. I feel like those are the youtubers for the quiet, sweet, sensitive, creative types☺️🌻
@@Medicinal.MeditationsThe Cottage Fairy🤌🏻🥳❤️
Also Kirsten and Joerg! They are a German couple who live in England and visit the most beautiful places
@@Medicinal.Meditations Yes I watch the Cottage Fairy too! Also Ruby Granger, Unjaded Jade, Leah‘s Fieldnotes and Morgan Long, they all make this type of cozy, slow living, romanticising life type of content. ☺️
Oh I haven’t heard of kirsten and Joerg yet, I’ll check them out🥰
I haven’t heard of them yet, but I’ll check them out. Thanks Sophie for the suggestions!🥰
Oh Desi...I'm crying as I write this. First of all, you are enough just as you are so never compare yourself to others. Listening to your analogy of the mug and our brokenness touched me so deeply. I feel very broken in this season of my life and many days are a struggle. Thank you so much for reminding me to love and care for myself. You are such a sweet and beautiful soul and your videos never fail to bring me joy. ❤
As a 58 yr old women living with lymphoma, I understand how you feel. I appreciate your time and effort that goes into making videos.....beautiful ones at that. Your little candle holder is charming. Cracks add character ;) Every day is a blessing!
Thank you.
As a November baby, I appreciate you romanticising this month. I also appreciate that you take your time with your content, it shows!! There’s so many creators out there churning out high consumption/hauls & it can feel overwhelming. I love that you thrift & go to antique stores & that you focus more on living in the moment & not on what to buy next. It’s such a safe place to come & relax & although I’ve often been inspired to buy a book you’re reading or a candle (or a sweatshirt 😉), I never feel pressured or inadequate if I don’t. I hope you see this & know that both you & Jared & your fur babies are providing such quality, inspiring & gentle content & it’s head & shoulders above the rest 🍁🧡💛🤎🍂
November babies unite! It truly is the best month: autumn + Thanksgiving + the beginning of the Christmas season, all wrapped into one!
@@TheBeatlesToday happy Birthday month 🙌🎂 wishing you a great year 🎉
Desi, don’t stress about putting out videos. Your videos are waaaay better than anyone else’s IMO and I enjoy them much more. So please take your time we all love you and the effort you make. Every video is special in its own way. I was also sick for 2 years and your health is more important than anything else. ♥️♥️♥️🎄🎄🎄❄️❄️❄️
Agreed! Desi's videos are like little movies; it feels like she puts more of herself and her heart into one video than some other creators put into a year's worth of videos. I feel lucky that we get to watch her content for free!
When you and Jared re-enacted the hill scene!!! 🥹🧡🧡🧡 Love love love!
This video is a work of art and your beautiful words at the end really spoke to me. Your videos are absolute treasures…and I look forward to your “November” video all year. You are lovely, darling Desi! 💛 xo Amber
I came for the autumnal vibes, left in tears because of your beautiful, inspirational words. You are such a gift to us all. Thank you for this beautiful video!
Dear Desi, I don't know if you'll ever see this comment in the sea of others, but I wanted to say anyway, that I think this is probably my favorite video you've ever made. I'm laying in my room in the middle of the night, with a cough and stuffed up nose from a cold, and I'm also chronically ill, and the last section of this video made me flat out cry. I have had so many hard times already in my young life, been struggling with mold illness for 5 years now, probably longer really, and so many times I have felt broken, defeated, and like there was no point to my existence because I am weak and delicate, and can't be very productive or fast about things a lot of the time either. But, I am still here, and you are right, just because you bow before the storm, doesn't make you weak, because only the trees that bend are still standing when the sun returns. And every time you survive another storm, you become wiser and stronger for it. It's so easy to forget that it actually takes strength and courage just to be, to get up and to continue on, when life is so hard sometimes. I am proud of you, and how strong you are, and I want to thank you for reaching out and touching my heart today, I needed it. Happiest November, and all the very best wishes for the future, for both of us. 💖
The candle holder story….I swear it was made just for me. Remember faster doesn’t equate to better. Good things come to those who wait, and we are willing to wait.
I couldn't stop smiling when you recreated the Little Women scene, it was so genuine and lovely ! Thanks for always being this ray of joy and beauty. Take care :)
The commentary about still being valuable even when chipped and broken in places triggered the tears today. I’ve been on the healing journey after Covid as well with weird health issues and unusual diagnoses, and it’s been an ongoing struggle to get back to full strength. Your words of kindness to everyone else - and to yourself - are so appreciated. You truly have one of the sweetest hearts and it shows in your videos, so thank you. I remind my bestie all the time since we’ve both gone through life altering illness: “We did not get sick because we were weak; We survived because we are strong.” I write that in my journal as often as I need to hear it. Love you! 💕
As someone who has grown to love November and fill it with whodunnits and blankets and candles, this video was a dream ❤
Thank you for sharing your struggle with Lyme's disease! I teared up noticing how many in the comments have to deal with chronic illnesses, it lets me know I'm not alone. Illness can be very isolating. I think that's what attracts so many of us to slower living and the small joys in life as well as the large. I always try to appreciate November and Thanksgiving, it's still fall after all! Don't worry about uploading. Your work is such high quality in thought and presentation. Frequent uploaders aren't quite as artistically presented. I notice a difference, even in the one's I enjoy.
I wasn’t expecting to cry this evening. I am now crying. I don’t think anything truly matches the emotions I feel while watching Desi’s videos
"To be proud of yourself; to know you wouldn't be here right now if you hadn't been strong..." This is so healing for me. I started crying hearing that. I'm going through a rough mental patch right now because I'm realizing my body cannot do all the things I want to do and be as productive as others seem to be. I have been feeling guilty and useless.. But your words made me remember my worth, my strength. Three times in the past 15 years, I have contemplated suicide, but it was my strength that made me want to fight. Thank you, Desi, for reminding me of this truth.
Desi, I'm not really someone who comments on videos but I felt the need to say this. I never viewed your videos as 'content'. Content creation feels impersonal, it feels fleeting. I find your videos to be my time away from my fast life. A safe space. What matters isn't that you put videos on your channel every day, but that you put your thoughts into them and release them when you can put effort into them. And you do that just fine. So thank you!
Omg i don’t think I’ve seen this much of Jared in a video before! Your relationship is so wholesome 🥺🧡 Also you’re doing just enough Desi! The content you put out is pure magic and I think we can all agree that we would rather you post content slower than to push yourself in unhealthy ways 🧡🧡🧡
Desi, you are not cracked and you are not broken, you are perfect, just the way you are, with a unique set of gifts given to you that only you can contribute to the world. If you do want any help at all with your UA-cam channel to speed things up, I'm a UA-camr myself who's looking for a side job in order to continue doing what I love to do. I went to Film school at BU, and can help with anything from help with filming (I live in your area), to editing, to helping with shorts-- helping you would help me too. But even if thats not something you're looking for, your videos are a gift, you are a gift, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Yes!! I adore November. It’s a time life slows down and I think about all the things I’m grateful for in my life. I bake pies, look for acorns with my young son, knit, craft…I love Christmas, but when it’s shoved at you in October, you’re kind of burnt out by the time December gets here, and it makes it less special. Slow down and enjoy what each season has to offer 💛
PS. I read Little Women 25 years ago and I’m still upset about Jo and Laurie 😆
november is just so blah for me, thanksgiving in canada is in october...november? november has remebrance day, its either a time to reflect and be somber or just ignore all of that and be immidately christmas, it doesn't feel ike you can enjoy fall.... its cold and rainy and misrable all the leaves are gone but it hasn't snowed yet. it just feels like nothing and you can't just enjoy the quiet time before winter. thank you for making this video. going to try some things to make november special
Desi, I think this is my favorite video I’ve watched yet! (And I’ve watched A LOT of yours 😊). First of all, thank you for showing those moments of you and Jared together! That hill scene was just adorable. ❤ You are making such wonderful memories together and it honestly just reminds me that these are the things that really matter. Finding magic in the ordinary with those that we love and taking the time to remember all the reasons why we love them. Also, thank you for such a beautiful ending! Your encouraging words bring me to tears and you have such simple but powerful truths to share! I hope you never doubt your worth because your quantity of content might not be the same as others. Trust me, we all know the quality is amazing!! You are such a light to so many people and are loved more than you know! ❤❤❤
The last part was really moving and totally hit a soft spot in me. I have cancer and some days are harder than others, more painful, so sad that it would be so easy for me to just lay in bed and never do anything again. But exactly like you I remind myself that just because i can't have my life like it was before, just because sometimes i'm too tired or i need extra rest, doesn't mean i can't try and live my best life on my good days. And I will until i can! Let's be strong because we deserve a good, magical life ❤
Just wanted you to know how much your videos bring this old vintage girl joy! I’m 53 years old and I absolutely love what you create! My girls and I immerse ourselves in the seasons…especially Fall & winter, and your videos always give us ideas and inspiration. So aesthetic and beautiful. Thank you for all the inspiration over the years! ❤
"Something being broken or weak does not deem it useless or of little value" during the part with the clay candle holder... omg. That made me so emotional 🩷
Just to let you know, yes you may not get videos out as often as others, but many of us are very excited to find a new video up and ready. And your videos are always such a joy to watch! So always take care of yourself first and don’t worry what other creators are doing. Your doing an amazing job. I will wait for your videos patiently and enjoy them as they come!
And thank you so much for your beautiful words at the end- we’re all so valuable, even if we are broken. It reminds me of Lilo & Stitch, when Stitch says this is his family, “little and broken, but still good.”
It's never about the amount of content. It's about You Just being You :) ❤
I love that you appreciate November for itself. I find it really annoying when everyone jumps directly from Halloween to Christmas. For me, November is a time for self reflection and self care and one of my favourite holidays, Thanksgiving. It is the most dark academia month ever!
There’s nothing annoying about people being excited to move on to Christmas decors and activities. What’s weird is criticizing what people find joy and enjoyment in.
@@sundaylibre I prefer to spend my November appreciating the transition from fall to winter, without any Christmas involved in the mix, but to each their own :)
Loved it!!!!!! You and Jared acting out the scene was my favorite!!!!!!!!
'It's the ones who've cracked that the light shines through', and Desi your light is so beautiful and pure ❤❤ Thank you!
You are a gift to this world and your videos are well worth waiting for no matter how often they come. You bring such a sense of calm and cosiness to so many of us just when we need it the most and we love you just as you are ❤
I also have Lymes and hearing you talk about feeling like you don't have as much energy as others and you're just not fast enough honestly made me start to cry. I feel the same exact way. It just takes so much out of you and no one seems to understand that. It's so reassuring to hear that this is a shared experience. Thank you for speaking on it ❤
Yes November does get somewhat overlooked till Thanksgiving arrives. Your video though celebrates November in such a warm and cozy way. Just enjoyed the scene on the hill. What a neat idea!! Thank you for such a cozy video!!😊
I just turned 70 and I feel like I am 20. You have learned a very important lesson in life. It’s not the outcome that really matters at all but that you thoroughly enjoyed the process. You will find greater joy in life. I am an artist and I speak to many artists and they are frustrated that they can’t sell their paintings but they rush through them rather than enjoying the process and it really shows in the painting. I am not saying a painting has to be perfect at all but you can tell if someone put their heart in it. I love your candle holder all the more for the cracks and that you took the time to fix them made it more special. I love how you make the ordinary moments into something special. That’s the way we should all live. 🥰
My favorite video of yours this year so far. What you said at the end of your video touched me in such a way. You brought tears to my eyes. That's how I feel sometimes in my life. Thank you
You're officially my therapist, I always say this as a joke but I truly feel better when I watch your videos. They give me piece and I feel like I have a purpose and I'm exciting to do things. I felt your words at the end very deeply. I often feel broken and useless and not productive enough, and while I could do more I also want to remind myself that it's okay, that I don't have to be productive all the time to be worthy. So a huge thank you to you Desi, your smile and your words always brighten up my day. Also, I loved the Little Women reenactment! 🥰🥰
Quality, sweet friend, not quantity. Your videos are rare gemstones indeed. ❤️
I really felt the last part of the video... At the moment I'm not feeling that great and I don't have the energy to do something for myself, because I'm feeling so tired all the time. Working full time, doing a bachelor degree beside it and my dad having cancer is too much lately. This was also a reminder for myself to make time to do the things I like. And to not feel guilty for not being ''productive''... Thank you ❤
The scene with you and Jared reenacting the Little Women scene made me smile. 😊 Also, I'd just like to say that even though you do produce less content, your content is far superior to any of the other youtubers I watch. The love and care that you put into every video is obvious. I imagine that all the different shots you have takes a ton of time, as does editing I'm sure. You're doing good Desi and you are certainly enough.
Bancroft castle, that spot is perfect for sunsets during fall foliage, Groton Massachusetts.
I loved this so much, I shared it with my two bffs, and one of my sisters, because I want them to take 15 minutes of their day feeling as I did watching this: slow, relaxed, calm, happy, inspired to seek joy wherever and whenever I can, to be true to my core self, and to take in the reminder that nothing we ever enjoy doing is a waste of time if it doesn't yield the results we want. As a copyeditor, I've worked to deadline for 20 years, always pursuing the end. Only now am I really starting to learn to enjoy process over end result, and doing puzzles has helped me with it. Anyway, your content is so delightful, honest, joyful, humorous, and wondrous, as well as immersive and endearing, that I choose you over all the others. I don't care how often you post. Your quality is worth any wait, and each post is a treat. You are doing everything just right. xo Thank you.
As a November baby I've always LOVED November and while as a child I was just so excited for Christmas, the last few years I've loved savouring the Novemberness of the month. There's plenty of time for Christmassy things. Last weekend we had our wedding celebration and I couldn't have picked a better month for it! It was so magical with the dark skies and the autumnal colours 🥰
I have been feeling so low and your words were comforting at the end. Love your videos ❤
Faster is not always better! I think the pause of waiting with anticipation for the next video, and not having one right after the other quickly, is much more akin to why we watch you! To slow down and savor and appreciate the quality of what we are watching. You are doing beautifully, don’t put those weights of comparison on yourself! ❤
Love love love this! 🥺 You and Jared recreating that scene from Little Women was adorable. The whole video was therapeutic and the anecdote about the broken mug was beautiful 💗. Take care, Desi!
Beautiful video ! So uplifting you take us away to beautiful places in your videos ! Love them to pieces ! Can’t wait for your Christmas content and decorating video ! I also can’t wait for your cosy, Christmas book reading list ! I’m looking for new books to read, hallmark style. Love a good romance book around Christmas . I adore the hallmark channel ! I can’t wait to see your Christmas cooking ideas too ! Desi’s you tube is just dreamy and filled with kindness - everyone deserves to feel special especially around the holidays ! X
I love your candle mug. It's so sweet. Thank you for that kind message. It really landed for me. When my mom died three years ago... it shattered me. I keep finding pieces of myself and I'm trying to glue them back in place again. When I'm kind to myself the pieces stick but when I'm not the pieces don't. It's a work in progress. It's a beautiful life and I'm deeply grateful for it and who I am.
Another beautiful video! I have a chronic illness too and I didn't know how much I needed to hear what you said at the end. I can relate so very much to what you were saying and I will endeavour to carry your reminder with me. Thank you so much Desi! x
Also, you and Jared seem like such lovely, sweet, fun people! Hope you're both having a lovely week x
Yes, I have a chronic illness too, so Desi’s words resonated with me very much!
I struggled with Lyme for a very long time and I can’t express enough how calming your videos have been for my mental state & how I feel I can connect with you even more after this video. I’ve also used thrive in the past to help ❤️. Thank you for being you 🫶🏽
🍁🧡 Yes!!! 🙌🏻 I love Autumn, and I don’t understand why people want to rush to Christmas before Thanksgiving! 🤷🏻♀️ Autumn is such a cozy & magical time of year! ✨
Not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving and some people simply prefer the "magic" of the holidays 🤷🏽♀️
@@sundaylibre
It’s fine to enjoy Autumn and Christmas decor together of course if that makes you happy! 🥰 For me personally, I prefer to enjoy them separately. They are both magical to me. I still have lots of fall leaves, autumn trees, and pumpkins surrounded in fairy lights out. 🍂✨ I also extend Christmas into January, so it lasts a long time for me. 😂 To each their own! Find joy and spread love. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season! ❤️
Dear Desi,
Today I'm having an awful day.
Watching your videos on dark days like today, always helps me to calm down, breathe in and out and remind myself, that I am good the way I am and that I don't need to be flawless and wear a fake smile every single day.
You have no idea, how this little candle holder story saved my day today. That's exactly what I needed.
Thank you for sharing your creativity, calmness, ideas, stories and love with us. ❤
This video is a masterpiece, Desi! I really needed to hear that part at the end, thank you for sharing!🧡🧡🧡
Autumn ❤🎃🍁💫❤☕🌧
I have really severe OCD, and have been going through a relapse after almost a year in recovery. I've been feeling so hopeless and sad until today, when I had a really healing session with my therapist. Afterwards, I wanted to bask in this healed and soft and happy feeling, and I thought what better way to do that than make a cup of tea and catch up on your videos. Your words about broken things still having value, and our struggles making us stronger and precious hit me right in my heart, and I couldn't keep from crying. Thank you for your videos, and the hope and joy you offer the world. You are so deeply appreciated.
Why do we push autumn aside? Looks out the window: ❄️ No autumn here 😂 Still, lovely video. They always make me feel so cosy inside. Now to cuddle up with a book and watch the snow ❤️
I was waiting for this! I had the same thought as soon as November 1st came around. Everyone’s talking about winter and Christmas and putting out decorations- but… it’s still autumn! November is such a beautiful month in its own right and it’s usually forgotten and invisible because everyone is in such a rush to be somewhere that, if we’re being honest, hasn’t even remotely gotten here yet. I saw someone post “40 sleeps until Christmas!” And I was like… that’s an entire month plus!! I love November where I live- a lot of the trees are still turning and are even more are at their peak colors, while many others have lost their leaves. The weather is so nice, everything is calm and quiet and there’s rainy days to comfort you and so much to look at before winter comes and everything is frozen and quiet and sleepy… Can we just enjoy the days we’re living as they come and not rush to a moment that WILL eventually get here anyway?
Less is more
I watch your videos all the way through and actually replay the old ones constantly throughout the year. Your videos never get old . Therefore you don’t need to over produce due to algorithms. Darling Desi is a morning staple in my home no matter the season . Do what you love when you love it and we will find YOU dear. Cheers to just being you … isn’t it magnificent.
I started sobbing when you glued the mug together. That’s something I would have done. Your message at the end was profound and it touched my heart. Thank you for your warmth and your wisdom.
I just wanted to say (as a videographer myself), I'm so glad you don't post as often as other youtubers because the care and time you've put into your videos SHOWS. Pushing out content for its own sake is a creativity killer, but you put out something truly beautiful and stunning every. single. time. because you paced yourself to achieve the end result you want. Keep going at your own pace - it's working out for you in such a gorgeous way.
Thank you for the broken clay story at the end. It was beautiful. It reminded me of the Japanese art Kintsugi where a piece of broken pottery is put back together and they mend the cracks with gold, making it more beautiful than before. I have a disability and chronic pain is a part of that but every day I thank God I am here and I have a purpose.
Hi Desi, I'm not sure if someone has already told you but I wonder if you've ever heard of the Japanese art of kintsugi - basically it is the art of repairing broken pottery with gold or silver lacquer - it doesn't just fix the ceramics and make the breaks invisible, it draws attention to the broken places and highlights them and makes them beautiful, it shows that breaking and healing and repair are all a part of the history of something and not something we need to hide away. I write about this a lot as someone who also has chronic illness and it is a lovely way of thinking about life and bodies. Thank you for such a lovely video - also so nice to see Jared!
Dear Desi, We've been watching ur videos for abt 2 yrs now. Me and my daughter decorate our house with the flowers we picked up from ur garden. Every time we watch a ur videos it encourages us to pursue our dreams of a more peaceful and beautiful life. Thank u so much Desi and Jared for spreading the beauty of ur souls. God bless u and have a sweet November.❤❤
A time you enjoy spending is never wasting time. Ugh this is so sweet. Why am I tearing up 😭 🥹🥹🥹❤
I am glad you saw the beauty in the candle mug cracks and all! Being able to bring us content when you can is a gift to us. I hope you see how happy you make us!
Desi, don't worry about keeping up with all the other creators. The fact that you aren't currently able to churn out content quickly, whether intentional or not, actually fits the atmosphere of your channel. I come to your videos for a chance to slow down and breathe....a break from this hurry scurry life we live. And the fact that your videos aren't available regularly makes them that much more special...a treat to be savored. And if we had them all the time, well then they probably wouldn't be quite as special.😉Sending you loads of love and hugs and wishing you better health as we embark on another beautiful holiday season.💖
My favourite part of this video is the end and your words about the broken clay. I personally prefer channels when the content isn't uploaded all the time or on a predictable day. Too much content takes away the novelty. A new video uploaded when I'm not expecting feels like a sweet special treat. I'm much more present when I watch and soak up all the beauty and goodness of it. I guess it's not great for the UA-cam algorithm, but there is something special about these types of videos. They exude warmth and love.
14:57 When I tell you I needed to hear this✨🥺im going to remember this quote for the rest of my life
Your channel is a blessing ♡
no but i literally started crying on the last part. i too often feel like i'm weak and that's something "bad", but i realize that I need to show more grace to myself in those moments. Thank you for the reminder, Desi
Here in VT we refer to this time as "Stick Season" - it's actually a really great time to do a lot of outdoor things. Birds are easier to see without leaves on the trees, views from mountain tops are nicer, the air is cooler and the bugs are gone (well except ticks 🤢). It's a great time of year.
As soon as I saw your thumbnail, I knew where you were. We almost got married at the inn since we love old properties. The scene of little woman... you can see the antique house we remodeled and moved from a couple of years ago. I have some amazing shots from standing on the hill through the years. I've been watching your channel from the start and I loved seeing your move here. I knew you would fit right in!!!! My channel is all about my love of old New England and I still have so much to see, even after being here 58 years. When you return to Concord, if you did not get to poet hill at Sleep Hollow Cemetery, many famous New England writers are there, including Louisa. PS: the amount of content you are sharing with us now, makes us look forward to them. Taking care of yourself is more important. "do as I say, not as I do" LOL
I know you might tend to worry about your content vs others, but I'm genuinely saying that you are the best creator for cozy joyful videos. Even if you're not uploading as many as you'd like to, your videos still are my favorite to see pop up in my notifications. They are so great and even like watching a mini movie now. Thank you!!
The Little woman recreation. Simply Iconic.
You truly inspire me to make the most out the my little life.
I like your thinking on the seasons and how you are who you are. Not always a fake and making excuses. When you do up load a video no matter what it is I always know I'm going to enjoy it. Yes nobody's perfect and making videos and caring to much what people think has to really hard, but you just be you and that's what I'm here for.
Oh Desi, you are incredible. You’ve moved me to tears with the clay story. Please know you are of value no matter how much content you put out or how much you post on social media. Lots of love to you and thank you for creating just as much as you are able at a given moment. ❤
I also love the quote "some of the best things in life are old, loved and rescued". Makes me think of my cat 🐈
It's so true that we often feel we are not enough, or that we don't measure up to or can't compete with others when, as you say, in actual fact we are enough and we are worthy. I have to say that in November particularly, I have these feelings, as the days darken earlier etc. It is a struggle. But we can come out of it by remembering that we are enough and that there is beauty in the simple things and that we just have to see it and appreciate it. Especially when it comes to ourselves. Your video points this out in a very aesthetic way!! Much appreciated too!
Your skit was adorable. Your comment about the broken ceramic candle holder was heartfelt. And like others mentioned, your videos are little stories/movies. What you put out is thoughtful and magical.
Talking about being cracked and broken always reminds of this quote.
“The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.”
-Hemingway
Bravo 👏🏻 for holding on Autumn and enjoy TODAY and not rush like crazy into Christmas like most social media is doing. In the old days, people used to enjoy every season naturally and make it last. I’m glad you listen to your heart and common sense, that makes you unique .
Beautiful video ❤🇲🇽
11:30 Jared got his Jo. 😭💝
Don't beat yourself up because your not putting content out as quickly as others Desi....The important thing is to take care & nature yourself first ❤ I always look forward to your videos ~ They are aesthetically beautiful, full of color, comfort & joy! You always inspire me to try new things & to be more present & grateful in my own life! Sending lots of love 😘
Dear Desi, I don't know who posts videos faster than you, but it's your videos that bring me the most joy! I'm not saying this to just uplift you, I absolutely mean it! It is so rare for the video not only be visually appealing, but also leave the warm feeling inside where I find myself smiling after the video. It's absolutely priceless!
Besides all the beauty of this video! The scene with your husband was so sweet. Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul with us.
Love, from Caucasus
Desi the clay mug message made me cry, such a powerful meaning that touched my heart and I really needed it. You’re such a beautiful soul and your contents always fill mine with joy and love for life, thank you🫶🏻🤍🥹
