Finances can be a huge stressor. What we did is put 20 cents of EVERY dollar we make in savings and left it alone. It takes discipline, but after a while, it became automatic for us. It is a structured way to save, easy to do, and the balance grows rather quickly. Just sharing what works for us.
That works in house life too. I live on ss, so 2 times ago I stared a system I still use. I was living on what I got, when got raise I put that at in savings every month. It's been 3 rd raise now coming, but I can now get new carpet I needed 10 yrs ago. Auto and persistent works
One of the things you can do when you’re in a funk… is to not believe everything you think. Often we beat ourself up more & entertain negativity as truth. Set yourself up to chill and get a really good nights sleep. You’ll find it rights so much in your world ❤
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. That “something” inside of you that is tugging at your heartstrings is Him. It’s a beautiful thing to see how he provides for and watches over you. You are a very beautiful soul. Keep drawing near ❤
@stretchinfaith This morning I was leaving # thebagelshack a sweet woman was wearing a sweat shirt that read You are enough Dear person behind me the world is a better place with you in it I started to tear up as I made my way to my car. Jesus speaks to me in such tender ways every day. He is my source of Hope Peace and Joy. Jeremiah 33:3
I get these bursts of appreciation for my beautiful life...and the first thing I do is thank God. I've lived through very stressful times, very uncertain times, times when I didn't know what I was going to do....I had so much fear I couldn't sleep and I had 3 young kids. This might sound cheesy but the only way I could sleep was to picture myself curled up in God's protective hands. If I could sleep, I could get through the next day. I don't share my beliefs generally because this life is a journey...and everyone is going to have their own journey.
What to do when I'm in a funk: Honestly I listen to Joplin....like real loud....Nina Simone....real loud....I grab anything for a mic....I sing...I don't care if anyone hears or sees me....music saves my life everyday....endorphins are released and there you go love...connect with that universal energy.....YOU ARE PERFECT❤
I am new to your channel and loving it. I am going through hard times right now and your channel is giving me encouragement. I lost my house and car this year and trying to rebuild my life. I bought a 2003 Honda Odyssey and started food delivery. I absolutely loved it then two weeks later my car won't drive faster than 2 miles an hour. A mechanic said it is the catalytic converter. so big bucks. I am trying to get a job to fix it. I have a cat and worry about doing vanlife with him because he doesn't like being in a car but hoping he will adjust. It taught me to be thankful and appreciative of what we have. Thank you for your videos.
I absolutely love the rain especially when there is lightning and thunder. I would far surpass the greatest man made orchestra in the world just to see Gods Orchestra of thunder and lightning. It doesn’t get much better than that! 💛
The reason you didnt make as much money as you thought you would from door dash, its because it wadnt in Gods plan. You have a beautiful smile, a contagious laugh, nice videos, good advice, good cooking skills, so maybe your income is going to come from utube. How about making another channel calling it your cooking channel. Show people how to eat properly in a van. You have sooooo much to offer. Your kitchen set up alone would make a great tutorial. Show off your oven and make videos with meals and desserts you make in that tiny oven, show them where you shop and what you buy for food and why...You have so much good information to hive to the van/car life community. Even the men could benefit. Make some simple foods for the guys to be able to make and enjoy. Hugs
Myself care is to take a good hot shower get comfortable whether it's closed or pajamas and get something really special to eat and give God all the glory and pray for a better day tomorrow
Have just discovered you Rowan and you are so relaxed and laid back. Feels like I'm riding along with you in the car delivering a Starbucks order. Love how you just take things in your stride.🙂
I hope Meowzers gets used to the leash. That video footage did make me laugh, but then sad as I realized the situation. It was great to see you two together. There is a Canadian vanlifer who travels with two cats and he has a little popup kitty tent (vanlifeplus). It folds up so doesn't take up much space, and pops open so you could just pop Meowzers in and then go about your routine... I also saw a video a while ago where a kitty had some kind of tracking device, but I can't remember whose video it was. For self care when I'm feeling in a slump I do naps, swim, and chocolate anything... Lovely video as always. 💖💖💖🙏
Thank you Laura! I appreciate those ideas - it was fun to have her with me and I’d like to find a way to make it work. For now maybe I’ll start with a weekend here and there. I like naps and chocolate and swimming too.. I’m fortunate to have such a nice place to swim, but I think maybe I’ll try to add more naps and chocolate 🤔😊💖
I so enjoy your videos. You are so thankful and positive. I also appreciate listening to someone who does not drop the f bomb. You are so wonderful and refreshing to listen to.
Awesome! Thank you!! I have an email on my channel bio. If you send an email we can work out hat details. Blessings to you as well and enjoy car camping! 💖
When I was at my lowest as a dv survival / getting out. Emotional, physical financial abuse:etc. I am seeing this San this freedom, complete autonomy that may be necessary for me to endure and realize my own strength. I need to remember who I was.
I take a Judy day and read and play solitaire, go to Starbucks or Dunkin. Then take a nap. Get up and eat a bologna sandwich then take a shower. It’s wonderful. It’s a gift from you to you🙋♀️🙋♀️😘
your channel just came across my feed... I've been living vanlife in Florida over winters.. this will be my 3rd.. I'm in a 2013 ford transit connect... with 182,000 miles and still going.. safe travels!
For sure get your timing belt replaced ASAP. Honda Pilots are the best if the maintenance is done. If your belt breaks, you will be buying a new engine which cost thousands of dollars, instead of a thousand fora belt. So no more $5 coffee in the mornings. You need to save the $5. Just being real.
How fun was this video!!!!! Whew I know what "hard/struggling" feels like! All u can do is don't step backwards, just keep moving forward, something will open up!!!!! Manifest positive and prosperous thoughts Rowan!!!!!! Hope tomorrow is a better day for u!!!! Thanks so much for taking us along and sharing!!!!
That episode where you picked up Meowzers to travel with you, but I saw you let her out of the car, I got really nervous about her potentially running away or getting hurt. I've had cats my whole life, so I know how they behave. The clip you showed reminds me of the "flop" mine likes to do if he's leashed, lol. I hope you can find a solution so she can travel with you. I live alone with my cats, so I know firsthand how much company they are! Safe travels.💜🐈⬛
I’m addicted to your vlogs. Every time I see your vlogs, you are always on the road! I think that it would be nice to have a few days off every week to relax and recharge your batteries
It’s so nice to see someone from my home state filming these gorgeous views❤ also, you are a breath of fresh air and I love your content! It’s also so awesome to see another woman our age who loves Strawberry Shortcake as much as me!!!🍓🍓❤
I love your videos. I've watched others videos cuz I've been thinking about doing what you are doing so I'm researching. Your video is the best ones. You're so down to earth/the real deal. It's neat to learn that this is actually a lifestyle and shows that you don't need a lot to make you happy. You can be blessed and feel rich in so many other ways. Thank you for being so inspiring! May God bless you ❤
I found that using a battery operated portable fan around my neck ( Amazon) helps a lot and spritzing my neck, face, and hair helps to stay cool on hot days.
Hi Rowan, I’d never heard of ‘ door dash’ before so thanks for taking me along,it was very interesting. About hats, a friend and her daughter make hats to sell and do quite well at it.They go into local shops that sell the hats including local hair salons. They have built up quite a little business for themselves .l was thinking,though,for you, why not sell some of your artwork? I buy blank watercolor cards and envelopes from Dick Blick Art and paint scenes, birds, whatever and I buy the clear plastic sleeves from Amazon to put them in and sell them at local natural food stores and gift shops and book stores. My cards are 5 by 7,and I do 4 by 6. I think you could do quite well at it. 😊
I love to crochet when watching tv. I hate to sit and have nothing to do with my hands. It really helps when I need to relax. I just found you this week and have been going back over some of your videos.
Be well friend! Go live your best life and keep being an inspiration to live on your own terms. Life isn’t perfect but you’re doing well and seeing the world without distractions and getting pulled into the unimportant and mundane. Well done. Thank you.
Love your channel. You make vehicle dwelling feel accessible and peaceful. Hope to live similarly to you in the future as I continue on my own sobriety journey.
Plzzzzz be proud of yourself....I am ❤ 😊 😮 Oh wowww 😂 I think I heard your little chipmunk 🐿 scamper away 😂❤ Ty for taking us swimming 🏊♂️ I enjoyed seeing the tree's and scenery. I didn't get home this last summer (Ore., Salem area) and I miss it 😢 an family 😢 ❤
Hi, when I'm feel anxiety I crochet hats, scarves, leggings, or fingerless gloves, n I sell them on my fb word of mouth around. SOON I will get into u tube to broaden my harizon in crafting. I admire you in going out and just doing your own thing n traveling. Love your channel.
I’ve been only subscribed for a short time ago and, watching your daily blogs, I’ve come to an epiphany of a realization of why we are all drawn to your videos….. we love you sharing your life as we are yearning what you have? Some people have everything and want more but, still unhappy and searching…… But truly “ being free from all the burdens of society, Conditioning and conformity’s is really what all are seeking. I just stumbled across your blogs and am seeing why I look forward to your aura and simplicity…. I so admire you as an independent, individual person…. You’re such an inspiration x Keep safe and have a fabulous adventure.
That was so much fun... feels like I actually spent the day with you. Im glad the peppermint oil helped and Im sure meowzers did her part well too 😊 You have the best upbeat energy even when you don't feel so upbeat... and... we got you when its not all rainbows and sunshine. Also Im sure you know by now... that wasp didnt get back behind the mirror 🙏 did you notice the road sign when you said the universe is telling you to slow down? Exactly as you said that you passed a sign with 70 on it with a 60 under it... numbers going down (slowing down) then another sign after saying 35... i think speed limits so definitely slowing down on all accounts. Anyhoo see you on the next video ☺️🌻🍓
I know this is an older video, but I just discovered your channel and I’m binging a bit and I must say I LOVE hand-done hats and throws and I’d absolutely would love to have the chance to purchase anything you might crochet! I just watched you dye yarn in a video yesterday - which I love - so I do hope you sort out how you might offer items for sale.
Just like you have to make repairs to appliances in a home, stuff happens to cars. Chin up, things will get better. I'm proud of you for giving it your best effort. Sending love, good wishes and prayers.
Love your video do you travel out of town I amazing buy your being by your self ..you seem like a friend who loves to travel. Well I will continue watching your videos..
Thank you for your videos, my life is a mess, and you are showing how someone can keep going, find joy, and adventure despite the stress, and self discovery (which is not always easy), your honesty is so refreshing! You give me hope!
Timing belt is important. Honda’s need them replaced at about 95,000-100,000 miles. I replaced mine at 80,000 something. Now I am at 160,000 and wondering when they need it again. I am such a Honda fan! Typically I drive them about 300,000 miles then a kid needs a car. I like my Ridgeline but several people want to buy it. Yet I don’t want to sell it. It’s a good truck! I got the first one and I hear it’s better than most. I hit a blizzard going over every mountain range save the Poconos last November when all those storms rolled in from the PNW. It didn’t care and didn’t blink. Locals pulling over or sliding off to the snow banks but it didn’t blink.
I hope you can get you fur baby back with you soon. With my cat having a collar with a bell is SO useful. I would recommend you get your cat used to the harness alone, at first. Then going for walks with her on the leash so she associates the lead with the treat of going for an adventure. Then get a long leash to tether her to the car.
I think do what you want to do for your life and your family will hopefully come to understand, especially if they see you are rebuilding. There will be days when we feel alone or like we don’t have support. I lean toward gratitude and being gentle with myself to get through those days. And as you rebuild and live your life in alignment to who you are you will attract like-minded people and support! I’m here for support and ideas!! And if things feel too hard, one thing I try to keep in mind is there are always options, even if it’s just in how we view our situation. You’ve got this!! 💖
Reach for a thought that you know makes you feel good when you think about it like a grandbaby or a vacation that you took or just anything that feels better💜
I can’t tell you how exciting and fun your trips are and I get to travel with you. I’m so happy you got that third coffee. It’s nice there are good people out there. ❤
It’s funny because I’m door dashing while I’m watching you door dash! 😂 Where’s Ruby?? You are correct though, trust in the universe and don’t stress. Your needs will always be met. I’m saving for a van to get out on the road and yes, trust the process and enjoy the journey. Music, meditation (crocheting is a form of meditation) and walking in nature helps me. ❤
My 2nd day of watching your videos and I'm hooked. You are a very awesome person. I have much respect and admiration for you. I love how you literally share your life and feelings with us. I feel like I know you. I love your cat. I have a cat too. You are awesome and I will continue watching your videos. Stay positive and happy.
Your Van is beautiful like living in a studio apt and love how you live so real and positive and taking excellent care of Ruby, stay safe and focus out there
I take a walk, listen to an uplifting talk, journal, gratitude, pray, look at my goals, make one positive gesture this week towards my goal.......❤# staystrong
When I'm in a funk I count the things I'm grateful for and that helps. I then assess my nutrition...have I had enough B vitamins? Omegas...anything to do with nerves. If I am listening to 70's-80's rock...there is no way I can stay in a funk. Sometimes I make a list so I have tasks to check off...especially things that I have to do and don't want to do...then I feel some accomplishment and relief. I am fortunate enough to be happy and content most of the time.
I spend all of my 30’s in financial hardship . I was raising 3 kids on my own on a teacher’s side salary: $600- 800 a month , seeing for people and doing childcare before and after school and school vacations .

That's a wonderful accomplishment
If you were my daughter I would be very proud of you. Your warmth, wit, honesty are so refreshing.
Yup...Amennn ❤
Finances can be a huge stressor. What we did is put 20 cents of EVERY dollar we make in savings and left it alone. It takes discipline, but after a while, it became automatic for us. It is a structured way to save, easy to do, and the balance grows rather quickly. Just sharing what works for us.
No cheating, every dollar.
I like that idea!
That works in house life too. I live on ss, so 2 times ago I stared a system I still use. I was living on what I got, when got raise I put that at in savings every month. It's been 3 rd raise now coming, but I can now get new carpet I needed 10 yrs ago. Auto and persistent works
What great ideas.
Aww, you got two lil gifts from the universe. That's so uplifting.
One of the things you can do when you’re in a funk… is to not believe everything you think. Often we beat ourself up more & entertain negativity as truth. Set yourself up to chill and get a really good nights sleep. You’ll find it rights so much in your world ❤
Yes! Thank you for the reminder! 💖
@@justrowan That Is SO well said Thank You I TOO needed that ❤🫶🤩
That is a lovely gem of a comment. You're a wonderful person. 👍🏻🙏❤️
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. That “something” inside of you that is tugging at your heartstrings is Him. It’s a beautiful thing to see how he provides for and watches over you. You are a very beautiful soul. Keep drawing near ❤
Great advice
Thank you 🙏

it´s just an illusion, only Jesus is real....he can save from death

I am new to your channel and loving it. I am going through hard times right now and your channel is giving me encouragement. I lost my house and car this year and trying to rebuild my life.

Welcome to the channel! 🤗 I hope your hard times ease up really soon, one day at a time! Hang in there, you’ve got this.
Your son sounds like a wonderful person

Ditto! And a dog snoring beside me.
Hi Rowan. Bees like to make nests inside your side windows.
You are such a sweet and positive person. Wish you all the best. When I'm feeling in a funk, I just slow down and give myself a treat!

YOU are SO BRAVE! Keep it up!!
Get the belt replaced as soon as possible. I had a belt break and I had to get a new engine. The breaking of the belt ruined the engine.
For sure get your timing belt replaced ASAP. Honda Pilots are the best if the maintenance is done. If your belt breaks, you will be buying a new engine which cost thousands of dollars, instead of a thousand fora belt. So no more $5 coffee in the mornings. You need to save the $5. Just being real.
I do well on Saturday and Sundays starting at 6AM.
Really nice tips from breakfast peeps. And food always ready.
I like dashing in the early morning as well! There is something very calm about it compared to later on.
Slippers are good crochet projects. I have two pair made by a friend and they are sooo comfy.
Your cat has a beautiful marking down her back. I love following you.
Thank you for following the journey! Meowsers is such a beautiful cat.
How fun was this video!!!!!
Whew I know what "hard/struggling" feels like!
All u can do is don't step backwards, just keep moving forward, something will open up!!!!!

Exactly as you said that you passed a sign with 70 on it with a 60 under it... numbers going down (slowing down) then another sign after saying 35... i think speed limits so definitely slowing down on all accounts. Anyhoo see you on the next video ☺️🌻🍓
Thank you Sage 😊 I like doing the doordash ride alongs because I feel like I’m hanging out with you guys too! I’ll keep doing them! 💖
I know this is an older video, but I just discovered your channel and I’m binging a bit and I must say I LOVE hand-done hats and throws and I’d absolutely would love to have the chance to purchase anything you might crochet! I just watched you dye yarn in a video yesterday - which I love - so I do hope you sort out how you might offer items for sale.
Just like you have to make repairs to appliances in a home, stuff happens to cars. Chin up, things will get better. I'm proud of you for giving it your best effort. Sending love, good wishes and prayers.
Thank you! 🙏
Your laugh is so sweet.
Your videos are informative as well as enjoyable 🌷I appreciate your sharing; it means a lot. Your positive attitude is refreshing!

Crocheting is a great idea. I would buy a hat. I think it would be a great side business for you.
Thank you for your videos, my life is a mess, and you are showing how someone can keep going, find joy, and adventure despite the stress, and self discovery (which is not always easy), your honesty is so refreshing! You give me hope!
🙏 Thank you! Stay strong, you’ve got this! 💖
Timing belt is important. Honda’s need them replaced at about 95,000-100,000 miles. I replaced mine at 80,000 something. Now I am at 160,000 and wondering when they need it again. I am such a Honda fan! Typically I drive them about 300,000 miles then a kid needs a car. I like my Ridgeline but several people want to buy it. Yet I don’t want to sell it. It’s a good truck! I got the first one and I hear it’s better than most. I hit a blizzard going over every mountain range save the Poconos last November when all those storms rolled in from the PNW. It didn’t care and didn’t blink. Locals pulling over or sliding off to the snow banks but it didn’t blink.
I hope you can get you fur baby back with you soon. With my cat having a collar with a bell is SO useful. I would recommend you get your cat used to the harness alone, at first. Then going for walks with her on the leash so she associates the lead with the treat of going for an adventure. Then get a long leash to tether her to the car.
I hope so too! Thank you for the advice!
I like that advice and am going to try it as well 😊
I'm the same way. Rebuild my life. An my family hates it an doesn't understand it. Thinks I shouldn't do it. But I see no other options
I think do what you want to do for your life and your family will hopefully come to understand, especially if they see you are rebuilding. There will be days when we feel alone or like we don’t have support. I lean toward gratitude and being gentle with myself to get through those days. And as you rebuild and live your life in alignment to who you are you will attract like-minded people and support! I’m here for support and ideas!! And if things feel too hard, one thing I try to keep in mind is there are always options, even if it’s just in how we view our situation. You’ve got this!! 💖
Your a very hard worker. God bless
Reach for a thought that you know makes you feel good when you think about it like a grandbaby or a vacation that you took or just anything that feels better💜
I can’t tell you how exciting and fun your trips are and I get to travel with you. I’m so happy you got that third coffee. It’s nice there are good people out there. ❤
It’s funny because I’m door dashing while I’m watching you door dash! 😂 Where’s Ruby?? You are correct though, trust in the universe and don’t stress. Your needs will always be met. I’m saving for a van to get out on the road and yes, trust the process and enjoy the journey. Music, meditation (crocheting is a form of meditation) and walking in nature helps me. ❤
I love the crocheted blanket!
My 2nd day of watching your videos and I'm hooked. You are a very awesome person. I have much respect and admiration for you. I love how you literally share your life and feelings with us. I feel like I know you. I love your cat. I have a cat too. You are awesome and I will continue watching your videos. Stay positive and happy.

Welcome to the channel! 🤗
When I'm in a funk I count the things I'm grateful for and that helps. I then assess my nutrition...have I had enough B vitamins? Omegas...anything to do with nerves. If I am listening to 70's-80's rock...there is no way I can stay in a funk. Sometimes I make a list so I have tasks to check off...especially things that I have to do and don't want to do...then I feel some accomplishment and relief. I am fortunate enough to be happy and content most of the time.
