She is 60?WOW,looks 40,smart brave lady.Sad women have to face so many dangers,like being attacked at work.Wish we could live in a world where we women don't have to always look over our shoulders for danger.
I'm Peter and my 87 year old Italian mom and i learned from you and your authentic story and journey. You can come to find extra rest anytime you are near. Loved you van and how You've decorated your home just beautifully. Would love to craft with you sometime. God bless you and your children and those grandkids who LOVE your vanlife! ❤ Peter and Mom
Anytime you have a place of rest here.. Actually anyone who needs rest can come. Bless you all. Peter and Mama
I felt your tears. Just followed your channel from both of my accounts. I'll be 63 and just starting out in my little van. Haven't take a trip yet. I took early retirement too. I am glad you found that community to feel like you belong and are on a path of healing.
Thank you so much ❤
Once you take your first trip it gets easier…in fact you may not turn back! Embrace it and safe travels 😊

Thank you❤

"I don't care if you're 25 years old, you don't have tomorrow." True wisdom. Thank you for being real and sharing your adventures with us! May God bless and Mary keep you ❤.

So true 👍
I love your van. It's decorated like a girls bedroom. Tears of joy and gratitude. So pure!
It’s for the little girl in me😊
Thank you ❤
I love this lady so much. She is such a beautiful spirit.
What a lovely person Shel is!! So genuine, such a decent and kind person. I'm glad she found her place and a community of like minded people. So sad that she had to endure injuries. And I know what she means about working for agencies when you yourself can't afford the services they provide to others. There's such an imbalance of income and resources in our world.
The Lord has protected you and you are an inspiration!
Indeed.
Thank you ❤
“Live with intention.” I love that!!!
It is now, the only way!
Thank you❤
Thank you for expressing why I am looking forward to living in my van. I'm 58, and a lot of people just don't get it. But we do 😁
You’re welcome and yes we do and that’s all that matters!

I'm 59 till November. I've learned to be careful who you share your plans and dreams. You are a grown intelligent woman. You know what will make your heart smile. Live your travel dreams until you want different. I'm proud of all of you who make a life that looks like you.
@@ButterflyTracksFB isn't all that secure, is there another platform?
Yes, people don't get it
I love the womb feeling you have created in and around your bed!
You're a sweet person and very vibrant for your age! Love from Sweden to you 🩷
Sending cyberhugs, Shell! So glad you found the Tribe. Together we rise... we heal... and become stronger. Stay safe, Sister!
Me too and I agree!
Thank you ❤
Representation and diversity matters to me, and I love seeing my black melaninated family take to the road and embrace van life. I really felt Shelby and her story. And I'm so happy that she is pursuing her dream and finding community out on the open road.
Most definitely! And just as importantly these women accepted me for who I naturally am!
I believe in this lifestyle a feeling of community helps calm the fears and ease the anxiety 😊
Thank you ❤
People matter to me. Shelby came across as a very sweet and intelligent woman. In my country we have many different races and we live together harmoniously despite cultural differences. Representation and diversity is a crock that instills and perpetuates division and victim hood. I don’t know why Americans do this. I know you were being kind but if I was Shelby I would be irked to read your comment. There is absolutely no reason why she should not do what everyone else could do if they wished nor should she be congratulated for having done it when based on the colour of her skin she is an anomaly for having done so. I could choose to feel less because of my skin colour but I don’t make that choice. You can tell that I believe DEI to be the evil force to societal destruction. None of us are less.
@@bernicehorne3827 It's okay when white people constantly celebrate "beautiful blue eyed blondes." That diversity is natural to them and therefore completely acceptable. It's irksome for black people to be told how to think and feel but you feel entitled to do so anyway. No wonder you think equity and inclusion are evil.
@@bernicehorne3827 all the original comment said essentially is that they're happy they can see someone like themselves do something they want to do as well, if that makes you feel like a division is being created and that this alleged division perpetuates victimhood then the reasoning behind that is something only you can answer to yourself. consider taking YOURSELF and your grossly underdeveloped ideas less seriously, nobody wants to hear them.

Your opening reminded me of a conversation with my good friend - 30 years ago. LOL At the time, we were having a blast every December helping my brother sell Christmas trees on a corner lot. Between sales, we hung out in a van drinking beer, playing cards and games, etc. I was planning to start house hunting that spring when I looked around and told my friend, “You know… if put a loft bed right there, I could hang my clothes here, and put a counter here and…” Feigning disbelief, my friend cried out, “Oh my God! She’s going to live in a van!”
I always was ahead of my time. LOL
OMG this tickled me…that is great!😂
Thank you❤
This is beautiful. I'm 35 and the deeper i get into my womanhood, the greater appreciation I develop for older women who are liberated. I love to see this. What a lovely spirit 🖤
This video made me so happy. I'm a 66yo introvert who isn't quite at the point of making the move, but I do wonder about my ability to make friends out there. Thank you! This was so reassuring.

There is an authenticity and peacefulness that I felt while listening to Shelby talk -- I feel like she's someone I need to have in my life. :)
This lady is so lovely! I am so happy she has found her way in this community. Her van is stunning!! ❤
Amazing !!!! She Looks 40!!!
Such a beautiful spirit. She's living in total freedom 🥰
She’s such a sweetheart. My heart. Went out to you with your tears. You are a beautiful and celebrated purposeful Sista and will most definitely subscribe.

This post is something that got me back to my dream plan. Now I’m putting my best foot forward to do it now. No more excuses. No more. THANKS YOU SO VERY MUCH. SINCERELY APPRECIATE YOUR POSTS

Just a beautiful powerful gentle soul of a woman
Thank you❤
Thanks for sharing your story: blessings and prayers for safety van 🚐 journey ❣️🌸
You’re welcome and thank you❤
Such a inspiration for me. ❤
Thank you❤
My favorite van tour ever! I ❤️ the princess bed and the ingenuity. I can't do carpentry either, and I don't want to learn it!
Lovely woman, and nice cozy home 🌟
Thank you❤
Protect your Peace..I felt that when you started tearing up. And what you said about retiring and sitting in a box...I have been watching Vanlife for a long time now..and I do dream of doing this...
Me too.
Your van is beautiful, and you are inspiring!
Thank you ❤
Very inspirational!
Thank you❤
Love your space, and how you are living with intention! Keep Going!!
Will do!
Thank you❤
Such a cozy home! Glad you have found a travel family to do stuff with! ❤
Thank you❤
Authentic! Loved that tour, great centred woman. I ´m still smiling…
Oh my Lord (happy Easter btw)! Your words put my feelings out there precisely! I am making my way slowly in your direction. I too, cannot sit in a box languishing, in a place I don't belong. You women are my missing tribe. JAN, I didn't join the FB group yet because of some "stalky" issues I've had But I will subscribe to both of your channels! I think if you and I had a conversation, you might be the only one who "gets" me. I was attacked and robbed while doing my photography on Waikiki Beach. I won't go into it here, but it changed me, and to fully reclaim myself, I just need to close this chapter of my life and move on. The logistics make leaving Oahu complicated. I'm transferring or more likely relinquishing a subsidized condo unit. I need to be free to work, and I just can't do that here. All I think about is, "can I still do this after all I've been through?" Anyway, you reassured me. I feel like if I had no choice, I wouldn't hesitate. On one level I do, and another level I don't. I love your van and look forward to checking out your channel. And another great video tour Jan.😊 much aloha to both of you.
Oh no, I am so very sorry to hear this. I’m sending good energy and prayers your way. Take care and keep safe.
Thank you❤ Happy Easter to you as well!
Thank you so much. 😊
Lovely lady. Love her van.
Thank you❤
Beautiful lady, beautiful build, love the bread bag

What a beautiful lady doing what she loves. And there is no guarantee of tomorrow. Keep on keepin' on. Hope to meet you and many others when I'm able to get out there.
Shell you are so sweet, and your van is adorable 😊❤
Thank you❤
What a beautiful soul Shell is and she's done an awesome job with her home/van. I hope to meet up with her one day ❤
Thank you❤

Thank you ❤
She's such a lovely person. I'm glad you introduced her. 🦋
And wow, that cabinet with the sliding top is amazing!
I know…I love it SO much, it will look great with high gloss paint and new knobs/handles!
Thank you ❤
Absolutely beautiful job love everything ❤️❤️❤️😇
Thank you❤
My tears came right with you. Your van is beautiful. 🌸
I just love your personality, you're so sweet. I hope to meet you someday.
Im sitting here in tears, im sorry for the hard times you went through, but so glad you're able to find peace and heal.
❤❤❤ Blessings to you.
She makes me wish we were younger and could do this... What a beautiful person, he heart is so good!!!
Honestly, age should not be a factor. Living a life of activity, nature and a supportive environment is probably better than anything else both mentally and physically! I hope you’re able to adventure out even if it’s nearby!
Thank you❤
She has inspired me just as all the wonderful people you have interviewed. Thank you for sharing.
Very nice van! So glad you are enjoying vanlife. I'm going to be 70 going full time in September.
Congratulations!
Thank you❤
You bring calm to me. It's almost healing that i feel and a sense of community I'm lacking. I journey with you and others in my thoughts and my dreams. Bless you and all. Peter and my awesome 87 year old mom.❤❤❤
Thank you Shel. Absolutely beautiful and positive.
You’re welcome and thank you!❤
WoW she’s 60; I thought at least 40’s or even possible late 30’s. Shel you’re such an inspiration; all the best and God bless you! 👏🏾🙌🏾❤️
Jan thanks for sharing this video with Shelby van gone really nice set up!!!❤❤❤
Thank you❤
You are so welcome! 💙🦋💙
Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey and being so transparent with your feelings. I believe life will continue to get better for you.

Thank you ❤
"...until my last breath" I felt that!
What a lovely, warm lady and her van is a mirror of her joy!
Thank you for sharing Shell's story and a tour of her van. I subscribed to her channel. I always love hearing about other women out there like us. So thankful too for the resources we have out there now. Have a blessed and wonderful week.
I love to hear and watch them also.
