    I've been living in the countryside with my partner for 10 yrs, on top of a hill, in a very small village. I own very little, never had a car, a TV, no computer anymore only a smartphone, I grow most of my food, I live a very essential life, I spend lots of time outdoors with my dogs or in the kitchen cooking food using my creativity, I practice meditation every day.
    And I'm happy. As I've never experienced before in my tormented life.
    Yes, dreams come true if we're true to ourselves and our intentions are pure.
    I love this channel so so much, thanks for adding to my happiness at every new video 💚💚

Travel and meet people who are unlike you, find what makes you happy" and then this video comes! Everything is pointing towards reflecting on my life decisions and meditating on my soul's craving, perhaps taking a new turn now. Hoping to move close to nature in the coming years 🤞if the universe aligns.

    Being grateful, happy, passionate, creative and feeling love and grace in each moment of being alive.
    I have lived on isolated islands, swamps, wilderness areas and other places that are way off of the beaten path. I have realized that we can be present in our lives and feel like we are in a paradise that is anywhere near or far. It is a matter of being alive in our passions and creativity and how we see, feel, choose to live in our environment.
    Living in the love of being able to be the person who is unique and that is your rhythm and your heart's delight. Remember to be present and to be yourself with your love for life.

      @@kersie2000 unfortunately the price we pay for not having the government making the “vaccine” mandatory, is that they will make it impossible to live an acceptable life unless you prove you have taken it. That especially includes no foreign travel. In the end, we will all be forced to comply.
