This DIY family you're building is your best build yet.
I think so too!
That’s the grief process honey. You haven’t given yourself time to grieve. The personal relationship , the sweet Callie. Grief is love with nowhere to go. You will come out the other side once you finish this journey. I love where you’re going with the house. It’s an expression of all you’ve been through. Love you girl. Will Rogers said the outside of a horse is the best thing for the inside of a person.
That's what I hope to share in this episode and why I took the time off that I did 🤍 thank you for noticing.
🖐️
Appreciate. Not really sure y I choose this plate form. The feeling of the passing of Carmen is really starting to sink in. U don't come across to many people like her in life. I know she's living wherever she is . Strange I miss her. Not really strange. I'm just expressing .
Beautifully said ✨
Wonderfully said ❤. Love you Rachel sending love babes
Now your healing begins ...❤❤❤ just beautiful Rachel ...I never comment im an older woman in my 60s and have watched you from when you moved to the desert....this episode has a different feel ...your connection with those animals is really special...more power to you my lovely
🥹 gosh, thank you for taking the time to comment! I'm glad I took the time off to find this piece of myself and can't wait to share where it takes us.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz Heavy stuff right. I'm a female I operated at a rock quarry. Life is a bit crazy. I do appreciate you responding.
I look forward to joining you on your journey much love from the uk
Me too! I'm 66 and I very very seldom comment x
"ohmygod I'm not gonna cry that's so stupid"
me, crying from the very first horsie clip not even knowing what's coming but I can feel it
I only cried 3 times ♥️ what a POWERFUL and moving person! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
🥹 thank you.
This was your best yet! Keep sharing your love of animals. You have built something so much more meaningful than a building or a barn, you have built true and lasting relationships. Truly touching. ❤
Leo is the sweetest little pig that I've ever seen, oh my goodness 🥰 I'm so happy that you've taken some time for yourself. I'm always rooting for you, Rach 💖 girl power
He's is very much so a unique individual and I am excited to see him continuously decompress and evolve.
The energy of this episode has developed and matured - the right ingredients have been found, and have been given time to brew into something special. I love Happy Over Hustle. I love Blaze being there with you every step. I love the homage to Callie. The journey with Gracie feels so grounding for you. Your inner confidence is blossoming, and your purpose is coming to you one friend at a time. I got teary over Leo, I love pigs and he's such a sweetie. Hello chickens! How incredible the skills you've cultivated and the experience you've gained, that you can just throw together a habitiat for Leo - incredible! So pleased that you are healing and finding your purpose, and trusting yourself and little Rachel. This was a very special episode ✨
Thank you for being here for me ❤️ you guys are what get me through.
I’m so glad you have found some light in the midst of all the darkness you have endured.
Feels good to have not given up.
Rachel I’ve been following your channel from practically the beginning. I have watched the channel and you evolve over time. I can only give you my perspective based on the snippets I see, but I believe you are authentic & real and that can be vulnerable. From my perspective, you are a beautiful human being. Inside and out. You are so strong, even if you don’t see it. So so strong. A fighter. That break up flipped your entire world upside down. It seemingly came out of nowhere and blindsided you. Your world has been spinning since. You are trying to find balance, peace and purpose again. I feel like you’ve been trying to fit into molds not meant for you. Honestly I could care less if you did another DIY project if it didn’t bring you joy. You are what makes your channel great & there are so many beautiful and creative facets of you. It’s the authenticity of you and what you bring to the projects you do. There was a little snippet of this video where you are out by the chicken coop watering your little garden and you carrying a bouquet of flowers as you’re walking in the house. That hit! That is Rachel. Enjoying the simple things in life and creating a life for yourself. Create your homestead and bring us along for the journey. You don’t need to build things , just building a life you love is beautiful. I would watch every day. This has been a hard brutal journey for you. You have been hit hard over and over, but you find the strength to get back up each time. That is a fighter…a champion. You refuse to stay down when many others would have. You inspire others. You can do anything you set your mind to or that you are passionate about. Rachel Metz you are a strong, beautiful and creative human and I can’t wait to see all of the wonderful things you will accomplish. Sorry this was so long.
This is exactly what I was hoping would come from today's upload. You have no idea how much this means to me 🤍 excited to let this Rachel unfold.
❤
Horses are amazing! I grew up next to them and whenever I was stressed out, I would go and spend time with them. They're such gentle giants
Also this video is probably one of my favorites. There's just something so powerful with the healing energy of animals and I'm so excited to watch this DIY family of yours come to life.
Thank you 🙏🏼.
I love seeing these slower episodes. Getting to see you enjoy your animal family and the happiness they bring to your life. I also like seeing you take your time with projects, taking several weeks to complete. The process is so fun to watch. Thank you for being vulnerable with all of us and sharing your tough times. Anyway, glad to see you back.
Thank you for being here ❤️.
Horses are magnificent creatures. Gracie has bonded with you, and you with her. You are now a forever family, for horses do not forget people. She will sense if you are hurting and will come to you and show you love. I have experienced their loving nature and it is something so special. I am so glad you and Gracie found each other. Be Blessed!
It's true they never forget us. I had not seen my childhood horse for over 20 years when we reunited and he remembered me! Im 41 and he is 39 years old. It's truly amazing ❤
Seeing Blaze & Leo become buddies is the sweetest. Reflecting on the shedding of who we’ve been to become who we’ll be is one of the most difficult experiences to have, but the most powerful because it leads to the fullest expression of who we truly are. Sending you love & joy on your journey! ♥️
What I got from watching:
1. Farm life with a little bit of DIY will work. Farm Rachel fits!
2. You are going to be just fine :)
I will always root for you. ❤
Oh my gosh Leo is just the cutest little guy look at him! People forget that pigs are one of the most intelligent animals on Earth (smarter than dogs, believe it or not!), and as such can make wonderful companions. Looks like Leo hit the owner lottery. :D
I was thinking about you yesterday randomly. Like "I wonder how Rachel is doing"
I'm always inspired by your growth and the way you take care of yourself and appreciate the beauty around you and this video was extra special. I usually don't comment, but I wanted to share that I adopted a rescue dog in December and went through a similar journey of her becoming more and more comfortable and herself in her new home. Meanwhile me never feeling alone anymore and taking charge of her and my well being. Today she got major zoomies in the park without any toys or me motivating her to run and today I had the motivation to workout for the first time in forever ☀️ happy late women's day from two happy ladies ❤
Im grieving the sudden death of my horse who died on tuesday. He was everything. He knew my mind and my body so completely, he would do complicated things the nanosecond i would think "now". I always felt like we were so incredibly in tune with each other. With him everything felt effortless. He just knew miniscule miniscule signs and did everything on the slightest, barely noticable cue because he knew my mind and my body and i knew his. He had cancerous growths on his skin ten years ago when we got him, and couldnt be ridden but wasn't in pain so for two years we went on walks together almost every day and we did so much on the ground just playing around and silly stuff. My saving grace in this hole that I'm in now without him is a three year old that was ours since the day he was born and we did all his training so far and raised him alongside of course his mummy. Summers he spends in the mountains until he's old enough to ride, and I'm so glad he isn't up in the alps right now cause without this horse i wouldn't know what to even do with my time. And it's amazing that everything he knows how to do, from being trusting and being groomed and walking on a halter and going into a trailer and just everything he has learned with me.
But I still feel like there will never ever be another like my old boy. He was my soulmate. He knew my heart and my everything and I did his.
I didn't mean to write all this when i started this comment and im sorry for the ramble but I think maybe you understand.
I had to pause & comment as soon as I saw him. Leo is LITERALLY the cutest pig I have ever seen❤❤❤
He's such a babe.
Healing begins now! I cried my eyes out with you 🥺🩵 love you Rachel! You got this!!!🤩🥰
I found my little girl and built a protective and loving r'ship with her that she didn't get when she was little. It was life changing. She's safe and adult me has a confidence I didn't know was possible. I too did this after a really emotionally tough experience. You're not alone in your process.
We got this.
Oh my goodness, I am new to your channel but what little I have seen so far I love so much ❤ What a beautiful journey you are on with yourself and Gracie ❤I was around horses when I was younger and I love them ❤I miss them but I am so happy you have yourself a beautiful mare, named GRACIE 💕 I can’t wait to watch and see all your videos and watch your journey and creativity 😊 Never stop reach for that lightness , it will help guide you on your path 😊😊😊 This video was so tear stained , I wish you hope, love and light ❤❤❤❤ Leo is a sweet boy and you gave him a wonderful home ❤
Rachel - I think this is the best video you've ever put out. I watch your videos to get to know your interesting life more, and I'm not that much of a DIY person. Usually I fast forward through much of the renovation stuff to get to see more of your wonderful life on your homestead with your dog, pig, chickens. So its funny you should think about losing your audience by changing your content because if this is the new format -- I am so happy! This is what I've wanted all along -- to see more of Rachel's actual life with all of its beauty, quirks and charm! Yes please to more of these videos!!!
That makes me so happy xx.
Rachel my heart is so full right now. Such a beautiful thing to witness your journey!! My little me, who is horse obsessed, is feeling inspired :) You made it through
Slowly but surely!
All animals have healing powers. ❤
Rachel - that is so beyond beautiful. So inspiring! Beautiful seeing you bond with new piggi and horse. Love love love!!! So inspiring seeing a sister living her live on her terms. Soooo bold!
Oh Rachel --- Gracie looks like you & you look like her - just gorgeous girls!!! 🥰
I’m so happy to see you post. I’ve been thinking about you so much. I hope you’re well!
Thank you - just wanted to make art again versus pumping out projects.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz ❤❤❤
There is no love so pure, so rich, so innocent and sweet as the love you give your animals.
Animals really heal our soul and makes us really live and appreciate life and the little parts of it. I loe seeing Leo! Pigs are incredibly intelligent and a wonderful compainions. So great to see you happy and bring new life to Leo and Gracie :)
You never need a reason to cry. Its healing for the soul
I met you through our girl Hannah on her channel. I finally had time to check out your channel & I am hooked! We should all nurture our inner child & give her the care and attention she should’ve always received. I will be following your journey and rooting for you and little Rachel ❤
Choosing happy over hustle. I love you. Big things coming! 🫶🏽
I think you have found your calling Rachel, Cali’s Farm ❤. This video was so beautiful to watch.
I love Grace, Blaze and that cute pig. They all love you too. Missing Callie and all she represented must be a heartbreaking but look where she took you. ❤
❤️
Aw, Leo is so handsome! I am so here for this happy over-hustle Rachel!
I love Leo so much! he is so so baby cute xoxo
There’s the mustang hey Gracie I saw u out back a few episodes back glad to see the journey come too n I saw those baby chickens 😊😊tweet tweet 😊😊
I love Leo! He’s so cute! Reminds me of my bulldog
I couldn't be happier for you! You are such a genuine, bare soul and I love watching your authentic journey!! ❤❤❤
Thanks for being here xx.
Animals are such healing creatures! My parents had bought a dog shortly before my dad passed away and that dog has now been my mother's protector, friend and companion :). I absolutely love the pig!!! What a cutie!! I see a lot of Callie in Leo the pig :)
I do too!
Best video yet. Thank you for your candidness. Your vulnerability truly shows your beautiful strength and resilience. You being so open with your pain has allowed the Universe to share her gifts with you. I’m so excited to see where you and your little tribe take us next. ❤
Thank you for being here xx.
This was such a wonderful episode to watch. Seeing you adopt a horse and getting a house pig gave off such a great feeling.
This warms my heart Rachel. I'm so glad you found each other. Healing each other's hearts along the way of life . ❤
So glad to see you Rachel! This is your true calling, your true gentle loving self . Take it slow and enjoy! I just took in a foster girl-18 mos from a kill shelter in SC. She’s nervous not potty trained but so smart and sweet and I love her. The things we do!
I've been thinking about you for days, knowing you'd show up! Love Blaze, Gracie, Leo, and, of course, YOU! Welcome back! Thanks for the incredible upload! Perfection, Rach! Cdn. Gemini
Thank you so much!!
Ive always had horses in my life and they are beyond amazing for being theraputic. Wonderful animals! The bonding process is so special. Plus their noses smell amazing, you can not, not kiss them 😂
I am so proud of you! Love you!!!! ❤
What a beautiful video. Those that love you whether they’ve been friends for years or strangers that watch you on UA-cam celebrate your healing WITH you, support you, love you ALWAYS. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👑
Sobbing watching Gracie's progress!!!!! ❤🥰 SO proud of you Rachel! Damn you're a fighter!!!!! I Highly recommend watching Abraham Hicks videos. I think you'll find them so helpful. Sending all the love
Thank you 🙏🏼.
OMG!! Gracie is so beautiful, and Mr. Leo is stinkin' cute! So glad to see you enjoying all of your 'babies" ! Animals can bring so much peace and love. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for being here!
this is an amazing video❤ I cried a lot, because I feel how much you miss Cali, unfortunately I am also going through a grief, but also tears of happiness to see how Gracie bonds with you and happy to be home with you. love you and wish you all the best❤
and also omg Leo, cuteness overload 😍
LEO!!! I’ve been in love with him since seeing him on your Instagram! Him following you around literally makes me want to cry. He’s so cute!!!!
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Sending you love and light ❤✨
Thank you for being here xx.
Your journey with Gracie reminds me so much of my journey with cats. About two years ago i had incredibly bad social anxiety and it really began to affect larger parts of my life which really resulted in depression. One hot summer day I looked on my front porch and saw the skinniest grey kitty. I knew absolutely nothing about cats. I decided to start feeding and left water and a bed for him. Soon he came around and waited every morning. Soon I became the cat lady on the street and had about 10 ferals coming to visit throughout the day. I had found my myself in them & I now had a reason to want wake up in the morning. Learning a new animal language is truly amazing. Learning the body language and discovering new quirks and being able to understand what they are trying to tell you. Best thing ever. Now I have a kitty that comes in and out through a flappy door in my window and chooses to sleep inside at night, I’m just happy she has a space where she feels safe. Love that you are growing as a person and rediscovering yourself. ❤
I am too speechless to comment anything extensive here, but I just wanted to comment to help you in any way possible with the reach and etc. I have been watching your videos the day they come out for the last ~4 years, but never had anything much to say about the content. But this. Omg. It reached something in my heart that I did not think YT can ever reach. Good luck girl! We - people who watch each and every single of your videos here silently - are with you.
Wow a real cute gang of animals living their best lives. My mom was gifted a 1 1/2-year-old pot bellied pig that went from 25 pounds to over 250 pounds and grew big tusks. His name was Bacon and she had him for about 13 years till he had a stroke. He slept in her room and was her pride and joy, wherever she went she showed people his hair that she collected and his pictures. RIP to my beloved mom, I thought I would never get over her passing 4 1/2 years ago but there is life after great loss. Not only was she my mom but also my BFF, RIP Moeder.
Healing looks beautiful on you. Loved watching your heart and talents in this video. God bless you.
I'm so happy that you are fully learning to live for what makes you happy! I am honored and grateful to be a subscriber of yours. You are such an inspiration for life. Showing it's like to have your world crumble and be the one who builds it back up even better than before, but with what you already have available to you. It's such a beautiful thing to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Before even starting this video, I’m so happy to see you on my page
Sobbing like a little baby bitch watching your journey unfold with Gracie girl. I work with animals for a living and it will never stop astounding me how deeply we heal each other. Much love Rachel 💕
The baked potato was a great addition!!
Right? So lucky to have him.
Yooooooo Rachel!!! We already know your projects are always cool but, you;ll really impress my by catching Mr. Leo in your arms like you do Blaze. (Really hoping your reading that & laughing to yourself & think freakin Mike G is such an idiot!!!). Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Rach! My intuition was working the last two weeks, I had been thinking of you off & on, thinking I hadn't seen a video from you in a long time, & wondering where you were. So happy to see your new addition!! Such a beautiful story. Tearing up with you❣️🤗.
Seeing how happy Gracie was when she first got there was a joy. ❤. BIG, BIG HUGS To you, you're doing it girl ❣️❣️❣️🤗😘
OH, & that 11:11, you know thats an Angel number right? Confirmation my friend ❣️
Oh, also, its been proven (& studied) that pigs are just as smart as dogs. 😊
Love the little bird houses on the fence post! Such a cute idea!!
You should think about a session with an animal communicator/ phycic. It would be a gift to hear from Calli. You know she is there with you, just in spirit form❤
Im sure Gracie & Mr. Leo would have some things to say as well😊. I follow a cpl good ones on here. Danielle McKenna & Laura Stinchfield. 😊love ya girlfriend!
Thank you for thinking of me and being here xx.
Your welcome love! 🤗
This was my favourite video of yours. You have such a profound connection with each individual animal and it's just beautiful to witness you build your family
Thank you!
You all were rescued, how touching this is and im so glad that you filmed it. I can see that you are content once again. You are a powerhouse!
Rachel ❤ You are an amazing warrior, empath woman.
Our fur babies are our life 💙
I admire you! Thank you for existing. ❤
You’re so amazing inside and out! I’m so glad you’re back on the tube and I can’t wait to see what’s in store next. 🙌🏽
Thank you so much!!
Talk about gardening, I bet you could grow some amaaazing giant sunflowers!!!!😁
Yes! They've been planted.
YAY! 🌻🌻🌻🌻
I'm not crying your crying 🥹 this was beautiful Rachel. I can't wait to see it all unfold X
I am crying.
this is beautiful, so happy to see you again!
Thank you so much!
Here for any type of content you make! I follow you for you girl! 💪🏼you got this!
I have so much admiration for you!
🥹
The world is a better place because of people like you! ❤
Thank you!
What is Gracie’s story? How did she end up at the rescue?
You always tell such beautiful stories, and are strong and talented. It seems as though you are building a beautiful life stay positive…. Trust your gut you have great instincts!!!❤ much love❤
Congrats for Gracie and Leo! And for some brighter times. Have had some dark years w a lot of loss and hanging w critters gives me such joy, as well. Feel like I'm just starting to live again. Finally getting back to looking for my little homestead again.
My background is Vet Med and have loved all the critters I've worked with, even an ornery raccoon and lion. Miss them all. Glad to see you changed the water to a lower sided one. They do super well with a water tank with 'nipples"... No waste or spillage. Here's to continuing to heal
What an episode. This evolution is amazing
You are a beautiful soul, and a really big inspiration! Thank you for sharing your life 🙏🏻
Thank you!
I love this episode! It is such an honor to watch you DIY yourself such a beautiful life. I'm soooo here for this next chapter in your life. You seem so much more at peace and grounded.
Loved this! Thank you!! ❤
It’s so good to see you again! I’m happy to see you’re doing well.
Love love love!
Thank you for sharing.
This video seemed liberating and healing. What a beautiful place to explore, discover and evolve. It is magical 🦋
Thank you for being here xx.
Love you Rachel ❤ You are so beautiful and Amazing... Take your time to figure things out ..
You will be followed and Loved no matter what sweetie 🥰 WE ALL LOVE YOU AND ARE PRAYING FOR YOU..🙏😘🙏🥰🥰🥰
You have a pig too 🥹 I'm so happy for you and how far you've come in these short months ❤
Happiness is an inside job hun.
Grief starts as one good day in a month, to eventually one bad day in a month, it takes a while to arrive there, but you WILL 🤛🏻. your heart & the belief of your journey , is to have the life you desire. Hugs from the UK ❤️🇬🇧❤️xxxxx p.s all these animal children 🙏🏻🥰
Thank you for this xx.
Rachel, the new you is amazing. Animals have a way of making us amazing, if we let them. I’m there for you “present Rachel,” and look forward to future Rachel who will always be in her present. Love Gracie and Leo! Thx for coming back. 👏🏼👏🏼❤️😘
Ah and the piggy, he is soo cute😍😍
9:45 minutes in.... I'm not crying, you're crying!
Rachel, I wept through this video along with you. This incredibly beautiful horse is making it possible for you to physically and mentally grieve Calli. Gracie is giving you the space and her large presence makes it possible for you to be enfolded by her. God bless and may you be healed by the love of a dog and a horse. Oh... edit... Leo you darling! So precious! Finally, may I say your thumbnail is exquisite!
So so happy to see Little Rachel happy again. So happy to see you again. Glad to Welcome Gracie and Leo into the DIY family. Watching this felt like healing.❤️
Thank you ❤🎉
This video is so fucking touching, Rachel. True art, and true emotion. I could not hold my tears back in the first half of you talking about your horse. I can relate as horses came into my life so unexpectedly this year and pulled me out of very dark times and into my heart, body, and the present moment again. In particular a mare. A true sweet sister. ❤ with you
They are the best 🥹 thank you for being here.
This video was so calming and beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤
Thanks for being here through my inconsistency.
Your property looks happy...what a great place for you and your 4-legged family and chickens. I lost my best 4-legged pal and it hurt. I didn't know how I would go on without her. I had her for 14 years. Then one day I went to the animal shelter and brought home this goofy little dog who had a zest for people and riding in cars, pet strollers, shopping carts, just anything and she brought me back to life. She goes everywhere with me.
And the cubbies cheeks
Thank you for sharing ❤
Aw, Rachel, I love this! I am so proud of you!
P.S. And the footage of you two is amazing ~
🩷 🌵 🩷 🐎 🩷 🌵 🩷
This was so lovely to watch. Love you Rachel! ❤
✨I am so, soo happy for you darling✨
OMG 😱 Leo is absolutely adorable ❤❤❤ And Gracie is gorgeous 😍 I am so incredibly happy for you. You're doin it Rachel!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Just keep letting little Rachel take the lead, she knows where you're supposed to be😊
I love that.
