Recently found out my bestie has stage4 lung cancer and she only retired. I feel I work in such a rat race……no vacation.I want time to stop smell the roses , hear nature…..I want to learn to live & appreciate a slow living life…the finer things in life. Money & Material things are no use if one doesn’t have their health.
I'm so sorry about your friend. One of my dear friends just had brain surgery because she has metastatic lung cancer. She woke up from surgery and was unable to move her left side. I had two heart attacks last year and a mini stroke. Bad health reminds us how precious life can be and to soak up every juicy moment.
My brother in law died of pancreatic cancer after 10 months from diagnosis & 2 years after retirement. He died a lonely man & on his deathbed was crying that he was lonely. He had lots of money but was not able to enjoy it. What can we do so that this will not happen to us.I retired at 58 with just a minimal pension. I am now 77 & had remained frugal in all the years that I have been retired.But can’t say that I am no t lonely. For me, no regrets.
I love and find comfort in your videos. Thank you. Seeing you drink your tea reminded me of some new info that alarmed me. Many tea bags, are made of plastic mesh and it’s hard to tell and requires a little research. But heat and plastic may create microplastics that we ingest. Your tea bag looks very similar to one I found that was made of plastic and I wanted to alert you to this because I know you prioritize your health.❤️
You should have been a model. You have the built for it and more importantly, you're GRACEFUL! As one who's been a clumsy klutz all my life, I notice when someone like you has an innate sense of grace , balance and posture that is evident with every move.
Thank you for making this kind of content as a slightly older person. I’m trying to come to grips with being in my mid-forties and it’s really refreshing to see someone more like me in this type of video and lifestyle. The best is yet to come! 🎉 ❤
Love your channel, Connie! ❤ can you tell me where you buy your clothes? I’m going to start building a capsule wardrobe and your clothes are so so beautiful.
Not sure where you live but it's obviously in a rural area and I noticed that you don't need to lock your door when you go out for a while which is unusual but good to see .
I have seen all your videos, even on your other channel, that I miss so much. I will never get tired of your content. I hope you never stop making UA-cam videos.🩷🙏🏼🩷
Since I retired last year, I have made my health a top priority. I go to the gym 5 days a week and lift weights 3 days per week. I have noticed an improvement in my fitness and feel great.
I have a dilemma. I love listening to your calm voice & wisdom while I declutter, yet your videos are also visually beautiful & I don't want to miss anything therefore I can't declutter & watch at the same time! ☺️❤
I read recently that being outside and seeing the organized repetitive patterns of trees and leaves is very healing to the brain and body. I believe it!
I believe it too. Every time my husband and I take our daily walk, I am in awe at the patterns of the trees and the leaves and everything the nature trails offer add to that the rustling of the leaves and the birds singing. There is magic to it that makes your heart soar and at peace.
Thanks Connie, love your reminders about living simply and intentionally. I'm heading to a cabin on a lake away from the noisy city. I'm going to savour the peace and quiet. As a caregiver it was a huge undertaking to get away. I'm going to take the time to allow my brain to shut down the over thinking and life stress.
Thank you Connie so very much for your wonderful channel, with all your words of wisdom quietly spoken and coming from the reality of your own life. I am grateful.
What I always learn from your videos and calm presence is to have gratitude for the simple beauty that surrounds us and is within us. Making choices that reflect the life we love and who we truly are. Thank you, Connie. I still waiver between the world of responding to stresses due to financial and health issues, and the joy and peace I feel from being home with the natural world in my surroundings.
Found you channel recently. Thank you....I am going to watch a few everyday I retired 5 years ago...walk several times a day, swim when warm, and lift light weights 3 times a week. I live in an area with lots of nice parks and lakes. I am trying to live a simpler life with less stress. Eating healthier, no sugary drinks. You have a very calm voice and demeanor.
What a lovely countryside it truly is. I love exercising and being outside and love how it is a priority in the majority of minimalists' lifestyles. You became a minimalist a couple years after me and it is so nice to see that there are some of us who have been around for a while. Been enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Connie. Your messages are always so grounding. We’ve been slowly simplifying our life and sometimes it’s easy to caught back up in the mind clutter. So nice to have your reminders.
Your calm voice is therapeutic I could listen to it everyday. You have simplified the minimalism concept with beautiful narration of your story of life. This is so inspirational.
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely story. Your channel is an amazing its very helpful to a people like me. Your voice is very calm is so nice to hear and relaxing. You have a good day ma’am ❤

Life is just so very precious. So sorry about your bestie. Thinking of them. Take great care.

You are not an older person in your 40s especially if you take care of yourself. Thats our culture telling you that. Don't listen.

Such a lovely video Conniexxxthank you so much for sharing❤
Love your channel, Connie! ❤ can you tell me where you buy your clothes? I’m going to start building a capsule wardrobe and your clothes are so so beautiful.
Great reminders.
This country side looks gorgeous. May I ask where this is? Seems very serene.
I think she mentioned it was the “Spanish countryside”. 😊
Who s filming you ?
Not sure where you live but it's obviously in a rural area and I noticed that you don't need to lock your door when you go out for a while which is unusual but good to see .
Spain.
I have seen all your videos, even on your other channel, that I miss so much. I will never get tired of your content. I hope you never stop making UA-cam videos.🩷🙏🏼🩷

You could listen while you declutter, then watch on replay when you are done.
Can you do a video of discarding your current items..clothing etc, as a minimalist and replacing them if necessary? Thank you, great videos!

I would be looking for a snake during that walk 👀

You have the most calming voice….great advice 😊❤️
I must take a close look at my health thank you Connie for your video
The tiny steps seem so easy to do!!!thank you Connie...lovely helpful ideas❤
Spain is so different than the U.S.; I know because I lived there as a child. I really miss living in such a wonderful place.
I agree with you, Connie.😊
i wish i could do the same...to be alone with nature...

Health + Minimalism often go hand in hand.

Nice and innocent lady
Your calm voice is therapeutic I could listen to it everyday. You have simplified the minimalism concept with beautiful narration of your story of life. This is so inspirational.
Geez.
Great video as usual. ❤ I love the wardrobe and how simple it is. That's how I have mine.
学会和自己相处，享受大自然的美妙，极简生活物欲少，放慢脚步疗愈心。Thank you for sharing! Amazing! 👍
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely story. Your channel is an amazing its very helpful to a people like me. Your voice is very calm is so nice to hear and relaxing. You have a good day ma’am ❤
Thanks for the reminders. Great video! ❤ (Simplicity)
Today I was driving with my windows down and I caught a few wiffs of magnolias, mmmm.
So Pleasant. You have been Like a Dear Sister these years. 😊
Good points!
❤
Lovely story
Beautiful🤎
It’s easy to live your lifestyle when you have a partner to share with, rather more difficult when you are on your own..thank you
I actually find it easier to be minimal without a partner. Doesn't mean I don't want one though 😅
I am a solo mum and it is so much easier not having a partner!
Very true.I am alone also
So difficult with my partner!
❤❤❤❤❤❤💚🙏
I am glad I do not see Cats Dogs Mice and Hampsters aroung you !
Very nice, but many people live in crowded cities, and aren't able to access countryside like you have there.
