    I tried a similar lifestyle and it didn't work. I had two problems: the local villagers were relying on me too much for piece work even when i didn't have any. Number two, the same locals kept burning the forests including my area threatening my fruit trees and beehives. The energies didn't feel right. I sold the farm and moved to a nearby town where I keep a small garden that i take care myself; I've adopted a minimalist lifestyle and I'm a much happier person now. At the village I stood out and its not a good idea.

    Hi Jael, your channel came up in my feed just now. I watched this video and felt compelled to comment. This is not a criticism by any means, however, sometimes we don't realise how blessed we are. I am looking at the peace and serenity of your compound and wish I was there to enjoy it-please invite me. It's a constant move here in the UK, the job market is slow and many are struggling, we are feeling it here as well.
    Happiness is a state of mind. I choose to count my blessings daily! That said, it's ok not to feel OK. What you need is a holiday to recharge and refresh. Go somewhere for a week or so and relax. Are there any mangoes in your compound 🙂? Go on a break for a week or so and relax. I heard Kenya is beautiful, I would like to visit. Always remember, you are a queen in your castle there in the village. Very soon many living in the cities will wish they could move to the village, but they will not be able to. Remain blessed!

It can be challenging to adjust to life away from what had become our norm, and it can be even more challenging when our efforts to create a more relaxing and rewarding life result in frustrations that are equal or greater than those we left behind.

So I closed my brick and motor store last year February and I have been working from home and exhibitions around USA, since then NOT easy . I have even decided not to open a storefront again.

    Hi Jael, sorry to hear this, but just to let you know that it's okay not to feel okay. From your videos, I think you are a very hard-working person who believes in doing it yourself, which I think shouldn't be the case. Occasionally engage hawa watu wa mikono to help you around. Don't know if this is possible for you, but once in a while, just wake up and do nothing, put up your feet, read a book, watch the telly, and let the day pass by. After all, you still have a roof over your head, you will still eat, and your daughter will still be in school. Meanwhile please plan for a few days holiday wherever and with whoever you may wish. You deserve a break, girl. And we still need your inspiration. Cheers girl ❤❤🎉

    Lol, Jael, i also dislike doing laundry and washing dishes🤣🤣🤣
    As for the difficulties, many are struggling and yes, sometimes it can be overwhelming. I recommend a personal retreat and you have a great space to do that. Something I also recommend is changing the direction of your furniture if your home permits. I knwo it sounds so insignificant, but it really can just change your current downward feeling.
    Love and light❤‍🔥

    • @jaelofthevillage

    @jael what you are doing is excellent. Do you know how many people want to go back home and do what you are doing. But they just can't afford it. That's why some people watch your videos cause it brings them comfort. It reminds them of home. Like myself even the birds I tune in just to listen to. Every where is having a bad down turn everyone is feeling the pinch. I got a home where I am from in few months time I be going home.i can't wait. Climate change is all over the world.
