This isn't actually true, however. You can't *ALWAYS* start again. There will come a time - for you, too (as with all living human beings) that your time will be up. It will be too late for you, and no amount of "believing in yourself" will allow you to defy the laws of nature and allow you to "begin again" - when your time is up.
@Diane.... hmmm.... party pooper....
I start life over again. Every ten years minimum. Often hard and challenging but don't think I'd have it any other way. I become a new person every decade
@@diane6130 I was about to say the same thing
keep lying to yourself
Married 34 yrs, then divorce at age 60. No home, few possessions( I left everything I owned except a double bed that was in the guest bedroom). I started over from scratch, and I mean scratch. I was lost completely until that one moment when Idecided to seek out others who were hurting more than I was. I dove in and began my slow transformation. Now, well now at the age of 69, soon to be 70, I am still here, thriving, sharing and still helping others in any way I can and I am carrying much less fear. Cancer levels us, and resets everything.
Hey beautiful 💙💯
You are an inspiration 💜
You are so inspiring, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for inspiring me today.
Thank you for your words ❤
I turn 56 next month. When others complain about getting older I always remind myself that tomorrow is an amazing gift and the best time to start over. I appreciate my years.
Just believe. I graduated 4 months before my 60 birthday as a nurse. I will be 61 next month. I evolved as my ex husband took off with a woman abandoning me and our 2kids when I was 50 years old.. I had to evolve to keep my family together. I was not going to victim of his selfish conduct. My kids and I are thriving.
Good for you. My mom graduated nursing school at 55.
Great job so proud of you!
@@Gigi19563 Thanks so much!
Thank you Connie. I just got home from work and I am exhausted! I work in healthcare which can be physically and emotionally draining. My house is dirty; dishes in the sink, unfolded laundry and 4 other adults in the house. I am 50 years old and perimenopause is being unkind. So, I have had a shower, made myself a tray of food, poured a glass of wine and retreated to my bedroom and watching your soothing video. Tomorrow is new year's eve. The house etc can wait. Thank you from the UK x
I wish u the best of everything.
@@solomono938 Thank you for your kindness and I wish the same for you x
💕💕💕💕💕
@Marie-Michelle I can truly relate..
thank you for your good work ❤
At 72 I am starting over. Married for 40 years of which I spend 20 as my husbands care giver I am now widowed and trying to discover who I am now. I am not the sort of person to mope about but I feel that after 20 years of never having time to be myself I have forgotten how to put my self first and value myself.
I wish you well in your new journey x
One foot in front of the other is how a long, beautiful journey is undertaken. You can do it!
Think about when you were a child, what got you really interested. Then try that. It worked for Jung. ♥
I am 61 years young and have gone through an extremely devastating time recently. Thank you for this video Connie. As I sit in front of my computer working, I have taken a quick break to watch this vlog. There is so much that resonates with me as I listen to your calming words. Thank you for sharing this with us, and helping us to see that we are not alone in thinking, " I'm too old....." Wishing you and your beautiful family a Happy & Healthy New Year! ❤🙏
Roberta thank you for sharing your age. I am 62 and after retiring for medical reasons, realize how much of myself was about my job. “Acceptance” of what is and not what you wish, really resonated with me. Connie thank you for both a reality check, and the joy of hope. Many blessings in the new year!
@@annevogtle5016 Happy New Year Anne!
Thank you for your kind words! Have a happy new year, my friend!
@@ConnieRiet ♥️
@@ConnieRiet I just turned 30 years old, and I'd like to think that.
I am just turning 51, divorced a while back, still single, an airline Captain. Life is interesting, challenging and beautiful at the same time. I agree 100% with Connie. I am gonna watch this once a week. A good reminder of what is important in life. Thank you.
Last year, I had surgery and thought that I was going to die. I gave away EVERYTHING that had monetary value. I survived, but didn't get my stuff back. I just own torn clothes and cardboard boxes. I still have clutter that can be thrown out. I'm sick and moving slowly, but I'll get there.
Wishing u the best of health. Don't give up, and move slowly till u get where u want.
Unfortunately starting over often requires a sufficient amount of money. I’ve risen from the ashes a few times and I always needed bucks to do it in some way shape or form. At 58, I’m in another scary chapter of my life. Living on SSDI with zero friends and whatever backup resources I have are just about depleted. It’s an empty, pathetic life actually. I could sit on a bridge like you, and I have, the difference being you’re at peace and I’m worrying about how I’m going to make it.
I was feeling a little down today, especially since it was so dark and gloomy. I'll be turning 69 next month and sometimes feel invisible, boring, and not the person I was when I was much younger. Your video helped me to see that this is just one of the many stages of life that we undergo. Nothing is permanent--the only thing we can count on is change. We're ever evolving and self actualizing if were mindfully aware and not become stuck in old negative scripts. Thank you for your inspirational words of embracing who we are as we age. Jenny 💜🐺
Hi Jenny! Each day we breathe is a gift. Sometimes, we all have moments when we forget this. We are beautiful at ANY age!
Sending you happiness & peace
@@ConnieRiet Thank you Connie. Love & Peace, Jenny
Hi Jenny. You sound like a really lovely lady!! Take care and all the best to you.
@@bevanbuckwheatshea5520 Thank you for your kind words! Peace & Namaste, Jenny
I needed to hear this after surviving cancer twice and getting out of a toxic relationship l feel like I'm at a cross road..I want a more fulfilling and happy life 😌 I need peace
❤
💕
☮️
The first step is knowing you want (deserve) the best life possible. Go get it, Rita!
Sending you happiness and peace
Wishing you a happy and healthy life. We all deserve it. Life is fleeting. I personally have so many missed opportunities, so many regrets! However, dwelling on the past doesn’t change the present. We need to move forward and enjoy what’s left for us! Much love to you. ❤️🌹
You are quite right Connie Never say Never. I started over at 79 and I am loving my life
Such a timely video Connie! I am 63 years old, 6 months a widow after 2.5 years as a caregiver wife. Decluttering and donating all (almost everything, really) that is holding me back from my new life in a new country. Reinvention #4. Thank you ❤️
Very similar story and situation to my mom. She is 53 years old though and just this autumn she won cancer. May your new journey is better than imagined🙏🏻
Hi Annie, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I'm so inspired by your positive attitude during this time of change. CHEERS! to Reinvention #4!!! You just keep getting better.
Sending you happiness and peace
❤️
well done javelina,.what a beautyfull name
Wow ! That’s my dream ! For now I am a full caretaker for my almost 92 year old dad .. congratulations 🎈
Life Reset also at 60+ and 70+
Anything is possible when you can believe and see it!
Thank you Connie Riet 💝
I can so relate. After a mercyless brutal divorce, the passing of my two beloved boys, faced with stage 4 cancer and making it through at last but people I thought friends unable to cope with my cancer and an ill friend, I am starting all over in my mid 50s all by myself. Whatever I am going to do or create from now on in my New Me, New Life, New Beginning, New Country, New Dreams & New Everything, will be devoted in memory of my two beloved sons ... I am so grateful your channel showed up in my suggestions. Your sublime sentiments of this particular vlog message, has given me so much strength,re assurance, encouragement and valuable guidance. I am my own Everything now. I am on a journey of putting all my broken pieces together differently. Finding my voice and myself again. Learning how to fly again in a way. I trust that out of no way, a way will unfold: My way. For Me&From Me .. thank you from my heart for sharing .. deeply grateful. And Yes Yes Yes: "When we belief in ourselves, we belief in Possibilities and when we Belief in Possibilities, we Belief in ourselves" .. Thank you Connie I so agree with your sublime sentiments and so needed to hear them today 🙏💖🌻
Oh my gosh! thank you so much for sharing your your story, your heart ache, and your strength with us! I cried when I read, "journey of putting all my broken pieces together differently." Your words are so profound. You have inspired me today! Thank you for teaching me.
Sending you all of the happiness & peace in the world my friend.

@@kawaiicomplex3543 they are so beautiful to remember but so difficult to be without. I had a very close bond with my grandfather who was blessed living a life of meaning until 91. Before he passed he said, "I will be in every sunset and sunrise, I will be the wind and the rain, and every full moon will behold my kiss and embrace" .. I feel my two beloved boys that way. I carry them in my heart and soul so I am never without them ..
I WAS 70 YEARS OLD ON DEC. 12 2022 CONNIE I AM HEAR FOR YOU ON THE COAST OF NORTH CAROLINA IN BOILING SPRING LAKES N.C.
I needed this today. 48yrs old and changing jobs, managing life with back pain due to many years of working hands on in nursing/ healthcare.
Currently 67... But young at heart. 😊
First my career choice became a disappointment, so I left it along with being an employee; became an entrepreneur. Failed. During this time, the red flags in my marriage became a full blown reality. Every day became confusing, tense, only to get back to "normal" without warning. It became unbearable, then a honeymoon. During the unbearable the hope of a new honeymoon kept me going, during the new honeymoon the fear that it would end made it unbearable. At almost 50 and with nothing to my name, not even a full time job or a stable place to live I face divorce and a question. What now? Where do I go from here? The only sense of direction is to wonder, "what would the 80 year old version of me needs me to do so that he can have a better life?" I haven't mapped that route just yet, but I'm working on it Connie, I'm trying really hard to figure this out. Thank you for sharing, it helped tremendously and made me hope.
“I have outgrown my old self.” Powerful. My new mantra. Thanks, Connie.
same with my friend that cheat 10 time his wife, he found his new self of not cheating a 11th
@@XeL__ i had a five year crush on a man in my professional world who treated me like dirt the last year or so. i finally broke all ties with him even professional ones.
I agree. My new mantra too. X
I am 60 years old and we live on a very low income since my wife and I have a simple and fun life 😉 THANK YOU for all the tips ❤
Simple and fun - that is my dream 🥰
low income simple fun life wife? got got an unicorn keep it hehe
I was married for 25 years, divorced and have been remarried for 12 years. I left to start over in a new city and knew no one but the new man in my life. It was scary but I grew so much as a person and started a new career after being a stay at home mom for 17 years. Life takes us down so many roads but I believe you always have to follow your heart. My new husband was diagnosed with Parkinsons a few years ago and we are now both retired. It will be a challenging next part of our lives but again we will take each day and see what it has to offer.
Thanks for sharing your story. I changed jobs last year and the challenge felt overwhelming. We are never too old to reinvent ourselves and outgrow old negative patterns or events.
@sandihunter1260 -- did you choose the new city based on where the new man lived? Or was a place you always wanted to live and so you left and eventually met him?
@@Ava2969ny He already lived and worked there. I moved for him but it turned out I moved for myself also.
I am 50 and I so needed to hear this right now at this time and on this day. Bless you. This means so much ❤️❤️❤️
Life has been so so hard for me and my family the last two years and I have come to close to give up now. Tonight I will get in the the car with my family and drive from Mexico to Alabama to my home.
Just what I needed Thank you
me too!!
perfect message! perfect timing! thank you Connie!
@@odangreally6165 have a safe journey home ..hope you have an amazing 2023
"The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you´re not going to stay where you are". J.P. Morgan.
Thanks for this awesome video.
Good timing in coming across your video. I’m 55 and over Christmas I lost my job of 31 years. It’s time to move on and rediscover myself. Thanks and be safe :-)
Make it good! ♥
Beautiful message and very very true. I am 70 now and am making changes. It can be scary but it is and can be an adventure to a new me or you. Change is always a good thing because like you said, with change comes growth.
I’ll be 56 this year and I have started over too many times to count. My 30 year old daughter said to me one day, “No offense, but I hope to have it all figured out when I’m your age.” Well…When I got off the phone with her, I fell over laughing. Advice from wisdom? Don’t think you’ll ever have it all figured out. Don’t live in the past, create your future while you live in the moment but understand, it can all be gone in an instant. Don’t take life for granted. Don’t take life, nor yourself, too seriously. Laugh every chance you get. Love everyone, even those that are hard to love, they need it the most. Give yourself the most love of all. You cannot pour from an empty vessel. Love flows through you. Make sure your vessel is happy from the inside out. Be the Master of these 4 things your thoughts, your emotions, your passions (anger) and your stability.
Yes! 🙂 Perfect.
P.S., I'm still getting used to the idea that I'm 55, but I'll turn 56 this year, too! Best year yet, I say.
Perfect day for this video. Just turned 47 and have spent the year try to figure out life after being married 23 years. Here’s to a new year🍾 and a new life 🎉
Thanks for this inspiring video. I'm in my 50s and have just started a UA-cam channel. I'm also writing a book - a book that I had been invited by a publisher to write almost 25 years ago! Bad choices, fear of success and difficult circumstances beyond my control have meant that I've put my dreams and creativity on hold for far too long. If you're reading this, don't give up!
You are a beautiful lady. I'm 55 and deciding on a new career change or semi retirement. 35 years at the same job, it is a challenge to step out and do something else. Thank you for your thoughts. 🥰🙏
You can do it!
I am also there, 54 and making changes! Can’t do my career anymore💜
At 53 years old I had a very successful real estate career plus a thriving property management business. I was taking 3 to 5 vacations every year and had a very busy social calendar. In 2015 it all came crashing down after I sustained a TBI in a car crash. After months of rehabilitation, therapies, learning to walk again, I was still left with long term disabilities. I was devastated. Adapting to the new me and trying to make it work by following advice from others wasn't getting me anywhere. I was longing for peace and quiet so I followed my heart and bought 80 acres of forest and moved to the woods. The family did not approve for fear of my safety and my ability to look after myself. In all honesty, I had the same concerns but I had to try. In less than 2 weeks of moving in my family commented on how much better I seemed to be functioning. Here I am, two years in with my own private wilderness complete with brooks, gardens and an abundance of wildlife. I couldn't be happier. So I couldn't agree more with you Connie. Change is scary, but you should at least try. You could very well surprise yourself.
Don't tell me what I can't do, let me show you what I can do.
😊🌲🍁🌿
Wow!
Thanks so much Connie for this message, it strongly resonated with me. So many times I have had to re-create my life due to poor choices I've made. But as I've gotten older (I'm currently 54), I've learned to show myself more compassion remembering that each of us makes mistakes throughout our lives. I also am learning more and more to stop worrying about how others view my choices. It's very easy to judge someone, more difficult to show them Grace and Compassion. Every video you make inspires me, thanks so much for sharing your wisdom with us.
Hi Marlo, I love that you are showing yourself compassion and understanding! You are so right, we all make mistakes. Thank you for sharing your story!
sending happiness & peace
Why i can’t connect with people on a deeper level? I am 36 and I am a friendly person and I love to live a simple and minimalistic life, reading, having a peaceful home and stress-free,hiking/walking in nature, drinking coffee or watching a great movie!All people around me looks like they run in life for more material things , bigger house , faster car, more parties and lots of travel ! Things that for me, don’t get me excited anymore.
I had a conversation with my friends and family and I told them that my main goal for next 5-10 years is to invest my money and time to build my own charity and help people in need and they looked weird at me and made fun of me and told me why I don’t want to travel more instead or have a bigger house😅I think this is because in life are to types of people - givers and takers.
In past 10 years I met thousands of new people in my life and try to connect but I couldn’t find one person to share the same interests as mine and because of this I focus more on myself and became a more independent person. Now I love my peaceful and balanced life, but once in a while I feel like I am out of this world! I have lots of lovely friends, but I tend to spend less time with them because we don’t share the same things and interests anymore like partying, drinking or going out often😊!
I know that I am an introvert and alone and quiet time is heaven for me😉
From 8 billion people I can’t find one person to spend hours and have things to talk about or activities to share?
That is a billion-dollar question for the universe!😊
P.S: I started to volunteer more and involve in more charity programs for the next year maybe I will found my people there❤
I feel the same way you do. It is hard to find people to connect with deeply when you don't follow the crowd. Don't listen to the people who do not understand you and who denigrate your goals. They are conditioned and just can't imagine other ways of living. Volunteering may very well be the way to find your tribe - the other givers.

@@iamjane9628 🥰Thank you for encouragement
I went on a mission trip to build houses in Tecate, Mexico and enjoyed meeting people who all worked together. I think there are people who are volunteering to feed the homeless, read to kids, walk shelter dogs, etc. Those people who are actively making the world a better place are out there. They are just very busy! I recommend a mission trip because it is life-changing and the people are wonderful. You just haven't met your tribe yet.
Ur words r very touching and inspiring. I wish u the best of everything always. It's rare fo find such a giving and caring soul like u.
I turned 56 and going through 2nd break up. Now am at stage and need to move on and living for me. It’s scary and career is going nowhere. Needed this thank you for sharing. Namaste.
Things are moving on now, my friends. New job with very nice people a company where you are a name NOT just a number. Horizon now looks even better with better prospects and other doors are opening. Just need to get out of old and embrace new experiences. Think of yourself and put yourself 1st. Positive attitude and explore your options and opportunities. Things will get better for all of you reading this. Go for it! Namaste
Thank you for your lovely message. I am nearly 50 and divorced with 2 young children. Like you and many others I have reinvented myself, sometimes through choice and other times change was forced upon me. I have survived each time but it is always good to here such a lovely message when I am going through a little self doubt!! Thank you 💕
Wow so many over 50 and 60 year old watching this video. I'm 41 and I'm really scared at the thought of reinventing myself and starting my own business. I have a steady and safe government job, but really struggling because of my mental health/anxiety disorder.
Bravo! 👏 I am 61 and am in the process of completely reinventing my life! ..Weeeeee! 🤣
Many Thanks Connie for sharing your very relevant wisdom, knowledge and experience..... Blessings! : )
Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I am struggling with aging and mourning the loss of my youth and the younger woman I was but I have to realize the best is yet to come . Thank you💕 Happy New Year! 🎉 to new beginnings ! 🥂
I am in my 50s and I have started over many times through my adult life.
Work problems, failed marriages and personal failures… Two years ago, my second marriage failed. Last year, I ended my career and now find myself lost and burned out… exhausted by life and right now unable to summon up the energy to reinvent myself again.
I had no support from family and everything I achieved was such a battle and I have just run out of energy. The energetic took to get by, to get on has gone… so I have the chance for a fresh start but it’s a huge struggle to find meaning and purpose.
I hope you have found or will find your motivation soon.
Thank you for sharing this Connie, I really needed to hear this - I'm 48 and facing a huge life change and the end of a chapter and the start of a new one in the next few months.
Beautiful scenery & message. I agree, it's never too late. I'm 68 and recently moved to another state. It's a big transition. However, I know my future is what I make it and how I respond to the twists & turns of life. I'd rather have my wisdom than to be decades younger. I appreciate everyday life now. I was always striving when I was younger - never satisfied. No, I wouldn't exchange my age for youth.
Hi Gail! I completely agree! It's taken me 48 years of life to gain the wisdom I have today. What a gift!
I'm 42 going on 43 and have struggled for so long, not daring to just risk something, change something. Never even trying to truly be who I am, who I want to be. This video is so encouraging. Thank you, Connie. In a sea of voices which say 'keep your head down' this video is what I needed. I've been daydreaming for decades now. It's time.
Hi Cori! YES!!! Now is the time. Trust yourself, follow your heart, and take the leap. You got this!
This societal pressure that you must reach specific milestones by checking off certain boxes by a certain age for instance, career or family by mid thirties, is causing people anxiety and depression. We all come from different backgrounds and have different experiences. We all have our own path. Don't judge yourself by what others dictate your life should be like or how media shape or picture how a perfect life should be like.
Hi! Connie, I am a Japanese woman Nanako who has just turned 54 years old. Now I am learning English. I want to learn by listening to the same English voice many times every day while walking. I have to listen until I memorize, so I’d like to listen to something meaningful and valuable for me like this video. Also, your voice is wonderful and makes me want to imitate your pronunciation. What I would like to ask you to do is add English subtitles for English learners like me. There is a lot of English learning content with subtitles in other UA-cam videos. But I don't feel like learning English from boring sentences like "Nothing can beat a cold beer after work".
Thank you Connie, reinventing myself at 51 ….. your words ring true to my heart at this crucial time in my life.
Thank you so much for making this. I am 55 and I lost my job after 7 years. I have a job offer for a new job but it’s taken them 7 months to process the paperwork. I am in the UAE so decided to wait it out rather than return to the UK. I suffered anxiety, depression and almost lost all my savings.
You have helped me to realise that it is time for a reset and to move on.
I sent this video to my daughter who is 34. She is struggling with many of the doubts and fears we women all do. I believe that youger women can learn from more experienced women in how to trust themselves and adapt to the changes that life throws at us. Thank you for your words of wisdom! ❤
I'm 72...is it too late to start over? All I can think is how little time ahead is left. Many regrets, bad choices and questionable decisions. 😪 ❤️🙏🏻
❤ my words exactly, blessings to you
You're not alone. Sending you courage & strength 🙃
what if you were 52? what would you do if you were 20 years younger…please
I’m starting over at 69. I May have 30 more years! Don’t give up on your self.
I recently ran across a 92 y.o. woman who put out her very first guitar album ever. That's 20 years older than you. Don't give up. !!♡
Hi! Ahmed from syria. I've just enjoyed a lot. Thanks
I am starting over right now, changing careers, feeling lost. I already changed careers years ago too. I guess it’s a repeated pattern in my life, to keep creating a new life for myself
I'm a big fan of yours. Keep these coming. I'm trying very hard to change my old habits, declutter my immense amount of stuff (inherited from 2 of our deceased parents homes) plus my own bad choices. With some added health problems and still working at age 66, I'm finding it all quite challenging. I realize that if I don't slow down and take the time to meditate, pray, relax and regroup, I get even less done. I'm going to implement more "down time" for reflection in 2023. God bless you and your family. thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you, Connie. I really needed to hear this as I am having to reinvent my entire life at almost age 50. Have a beautiful day.
You've got this, Jennifer!
A beautiful break in my day and a great food for thought as I contemplate how I want to live in 2023. Happy new year to you!🎉
This Lady" is absolutely Incredible... My Best Subscription
I'm divorced and mid 40s. I'm still dealing with the pain of a divorce I didn't want and relatives trashing me every chance they get.
Thank you for being Connie 🙏🕊 Central Australia 💚
Thank you Connie...I am at that point, scared, alone, over 50, needing to change my career path, need to discover me. I was afraid I am too old but you just gave me hope. I will move on and find myself.
It sounds like we are all ready for a new year make-over! Or do-over.
'daydreaming is my soul's way of guiding me'. I absolutely love this- I daydream about walking through the fields of my childhood. I don't need to go back to the same fields but my goal is to move out of the city.
beautiful and inspiring especially when I am standing inbetween what I have left behind and what I am trying to take up next, feeling lost and confused ...Thank you so much
Liebe Conny, ich liebe deine Videos und die Art wie du dich gibst. Im März werde ich bereits 66 Jahre alt. Auch ich habe viele Fehler im Leben gemacht. Einige waren schwerwiegend. Aus einem nicht stabilen Elternhaus kommend, habe ich gelitten ohne es richtig zu verstehen. Erst jetzt bin ich dabei mein Leben neu zu ordnen. Ich befasse mich mit dem Minimalismus um mich vom Ballast zu befreien. Ich genüge mir und bin für jeden Tag dankbar, den ich aufwachen darf. Innere Ruhe und Zufriedenheit geben mir Kraft mein neues Leben zu gestalten. Ich wünsche dir von Herzen alles Gute für das kommende Jahr. Viele liebe Grüße aus Deutschland.
I need to hear this. I know in my life change is needed and coming❤
You are so lucky to enjoy this life and solitude.
Acceptance is the getway to success
Thank you for this beautiful, timely, video - at 70 beginning my retirement years in a new city. Exciting and daunting - saving this video to watch again and again - there's such comfort in kindred souls. So much peacefulness in this video.
Thank you Connie,
It is a pleasure to hear from someone who has "lived" a few times, reassure others that there still is LIFE out there, even when you are facing an uncertainty in front of you.
I'm a "youthful" 64 years old, even though I feel about 20 years younger mentally. 😊
These past 3-4 years have been like riding a rollercoaster without a harness, as I've dealt with 2 toxic jobs in a row, the loss of my only sibling (my sister ) due to Pancreatic cancer along with the anxiety and stress about what it did to my mother, the isolation of the COVID lockdown, and non-stop financial instability.
All of this have taken a huge toll on my emotional, mental and physical health,
as well as my self-confidence and self-esteem!
I jokingly tell people I could write a book... of course most would think it's fiction, but it's not.
If ever there was someone looking to START OVER, it's me! 🤗
As I watched, one thing you mentioned, was taking "small steps", which is one piece of advice my former manager once told me... "baby step it until you can walk". Never forgot that.
I really want 2023 to be the year, I start LIVING again.
Wish me luck! 🤗
At 65 many of my peers are entering the “retired” phase of life, not me I can’t afford it but I have reinvented myself anyhow. I have listed the 4 areas of my life that are of most important to me and primarily only live in the areas of interest and putting little focus on areas that are not in my control.
One of those target areas is accentuating my life long sports / my health. I consider the next decade as maybe the last opportunity my body may give me to ski as I have known, to ride MTB as I have known, and making the most of this 4th quarter I have dropped 35lbs and committed myself to being the best I can be. The chips will fall as they will, but I choose to truly GO until I STOP.
I have been a Dad, an employee, an employer and my reinvention is the freedom I have sacrificed to now take.
It is sometimes scary to start over again but as I was once told “ you are not a tree you can move “ I now understand that! Great content thank you 😊
I love that saying!
I've always said,I've had many lives over my lifetime. 💝
Thank you so much for making this. I am 40 and this is exactly what I needed to hear!
I'm so glad it resonated with you.
This video is just what I needed to hear, it resonates fully with me. I have some big life changes on the horizon and your beautiful advice is encouraging me. Stunning video both visually and also emotionally. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this, Connie. It is very timely and really resonated. Have a lovely day. 💗
Beautiful message from from a kind calm soul ❤. Thank you for sharing ❤
These videos are the perfect medicine. The scenery, the lovely music, your soothing voice , and the beautiful wisdom you speak. ❤️
This was a good calm video. It's nice to see people of have overcome things and started over and are happy 😊
That last comment was very good for me, I tend to be anxious and knowing that I can rebuild my life and trust God, I can relax and be happier; I am 60.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 3 months ago about self development. Now I have 243 subs and almost > 95 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Yes, sometimes it is indeed too late to start over. No doubt about that.
Change is never easy, but the more you do it, the more you understand yourself and the more exciting life is. As much as I love my home, I know it and the things in it don't definite me. We live in such an abundant society that things are always available to us. It's the internal abundance that I gain strength from, that I am grateful for. Thanks so much for the video. Happy New Year!

Dear Connie, Serendipity...I am so grateful to have come upon this beautiful, confident, wise and gentle video today! Another
tender nudge from the Universe as i am surely in the middle of another life transition right now ...and I am 82 years young.
I am focusing on letting go and downsizing, and my Heart wants to move to a simpler, natural environment with new animals and new friends. Again, sincere thanks to you for being you and for sharing yourself with us. Gwendolyn Marie
Thank you for this video! I’ve been a Surgical Technologist for over 12 years. I just turned 40 last month. I lost the physical copy of my degree and the school I attended had closed down and there’s no way for my to get a new copy of even prove that I had the degree in the 1st place. I’m about to lose a great job in a few weeks because of this. I have to start all over again & it had me feeling lost and confused. I have children to provide for and they don’t know what’s happening. I thank you for giving me even a sliver of hope for the future!
So good - thank you !
Such a beautiful message! Thank you for the encouragement for us to move forward in faith and trust that everything always works out.
Have you considered writing a book? Maybe a compilation of your thoughts and wisdom on everything from
minimalism to what you said today, or even daily uplifting thoughts … I would buy that book in a heartbeat
Or a guided journal…
Omg! Connie! This is such an amazing video! I needed to hear this so much! Thank you for your awesome video! You are an inspiration. Thank you!
Absolutely touches my soul! Your words resonate so deeply in me!
Thank you so much im also embarking on a new journey you inspire me i just turned 52.
Thank you!
I needed this today, Connie. Thank you!❤🙏🏻
Beautiful ❤
I don't think of my new beginnings as rebuilding exactly. I think of them as building something new on top of something outdated. Sort of like touching up a painting that I did in the past and now I see how it can be improved. We don't scrap our past, we build something new on top of it. I loved your video. You gave a wonderful message. Thank you.
Just lovely.
