Oscar Wilde was a very wise man! At the age of 60 (!!) I have FINALLY taken steps and made decisions to be myself (because everyone else is taken!) I dress the way I choose, read what I enjoy, and spend time doing what brings me joy, even if others think me odd and eccentric. Thanks for another thought-provoking and beautiful video. Am looking forward to your book, which I have already pre-ordered!
Hello everyone ❤️ hope you are having a beautiful day, I spent this week re-decorating and putting those finishing details in my home that I’ve been meaning to do forever. It’s so easy to put off decorating, but even just a few things that bring you joy in your home space can make such a difference, even if it’s just some flowers or a candle. Things are pretty intense over here, groceries and gas are so expensive on top of tourist season, I find myself not leaving the house as much as I thought I would. I’m focusing on the opportunities to nurture my home space to feel that much more cozy! Sending you a big hug.
You remind me of my Mother. She became a potter to save her sanity. It brought her back to life after raising 4 children and dealing with a difficult husband. Her pottery was very whimsical, and she loved to use nature in her work. One of my favorites was her use of Queen Anne's Lace to make small, hand rolled wall plaques. Never, and I mean never, give up your creativity to appease another. Thank you for sharing yourself with me, and reminding me of the beauty of my Mother. Love, from Michigan.
An Oscar Wilde quote reminds me of you… “ and the trees were so glad to have the children back again that they had covered themselves with blossoms and were waving their arms gently above the children’s heads. The birds were flying about and twittering with delight, and the flowers were looking up through the green grass and laughing.“. Isn’t that just magical?
" never apologize for what you love"... Beautiful, Paola!
If this video reflects who you really are. Don't ever change! We need more dreams in the world now!
I love how this channel is great for anyone, young an old. A 70 year old may enjoy these videos as much as me, a 12 year old would. I think it's truly beautiful to see that no matter how much time passes, our soul stays stagnant. Even with everything swirling around us, the soul stays prevalent and stagnant within us, waiting to be appreciated.
🐈 you should train Kitten to be walked on a leash! So many cats are these days! I'm sure she'd enjoy the freedom of the outdoors 🐱💛
My creativity has been blocked for SO long, I can’t believe it. What is it that allows one to know they’re blocked yet not be able to or be so disillusioned by that knowing that you still do nothing? It’s crazy to me. I used to be so proactive and excited about life and creating. I’m grateful for you sharing your feelings whether misaligned or at your best because I don’t know if I could have that kind of courage to share the dark places I go to often. It’s amazing that you live in such nature and solitude. I live in the big city and feel alone often so I wonder what that would be like. Anyway, glad to see you are feeling like yourself again. These planets and super moons have been intense! xoxo
The first thing I lack when I feel down or overwhelmed is an urge to create. That is when I use the sweet cards and stickers I purchased from you, and others, in my daily journal. Taking a break isn't shameful and is much needed for new ideas to come to a calm place. Oscar Wilde's quote is one of my very favorites and one I use most often. I can be no one but me so...yeah lol. Have a peaceful rest of summer, Paola. There are videos I can review if I find I miss your calming presence.
Question: How many of us are 55+ and love this channel?
Your house looks so cozy and whimsical, it's lovely! And kitten has gotten SO BIG!! ♥️ I'm glad you're feeling a bit better!
I am 58 years old in physical years, yet I LOVE animated movies, the ones you mentioned and the rest of Hayao Miyazaki's movies. Not only are they beautiful, and magical, but they also show the truth which is invisible to our perception in this fast-paced, material "reality", the norm we are bombarded with on daily basis. These animated movies remind me of what is real, remind me to daydream through this to create my own, magical world. Each one of us creates his or her own world. I choose to create a happy, magical, joyful, peaceful world. So, I watch movies which inspire and encourage me and which already are happy, magical, joyful and peaceful.
I planted snap dragons this year...and at 64, I did not know they could "talk"...so off to add a little fun and whimsey to my day....thank you!
I never would have thought to hang pictures using the corner tabs usually meant for scrapbooks. I love that idea and think I may try it in my own home. What a simple and beautiful idea.
Your beauty just takes my breath away, I can't even imagine how such a beautiful person can exist in this world 🥺 And all of your videos are amazing, too, and your art, and the way you decorate your house and other things.
Your home and surroundings are beautiful. I am sad you are closing your Etsy shop. I had a few ideas. Mini books on how to make some natural teas illustrated by you. One with scone recipes and one with cakes and breads. Oh well. Life is change!! You are an amazing woman with so much loveliness to pass along. I hope you find another inspiring thing to impart to people...another book or two?? A Darcy series for kids?? A floral stationery set? I love your channel!! Have a wonderful day. 😊 💖📚🌹🌷🌼🌻🌺🪴🌾🍀🌱🌿
I think we have like minds. I am 71 now and still love the little books and stories that I loved as a child. I loved when there were little mice, in a forest living in a tree trunk or underground. I would dream of having a cozy nest
You had so many life-changing moments in the past 6 months. Take as much time as you need.
Thank you for the inspiration to not be ashamed of what you love. I have a love of crocheting and knitting vintage blankets in hues of purples and blues and sage greens. People seem to think its quite odd and out of date. I am beginning to care less what they think and just go with what I love! I once went through a period of creating miniature doll dresses and little fancy bedspreads for doll beds….my sisters suggested playfully that I might need an intervention. I quickly associated that comment with me being weird and just tucked that hobby away. I’m at a new place in my life where I just have to listen to my soul. To thine own self be true!
