    This is definitely a neurodivergent friendly/safe place to come. Some will understand. She is so calming and peaceful. What a safe place this is . I binge her videos just to have them on while I’m doing other things and need background noise that’s not loud or stressful. She deserves every subscriber and every dollar she’s earned from this channel. I often wonder if she knows this is a neurodivergent friendly place, or that probably many who come here are💕💕

      Ya very neurodivergent for sure! How many neurodivergent people are here I wonder. Being neurodivergent myself I don't care if you're not neurodivergent or not neurodivergent. The amount of neurodivergent subs is probably around 50% neurodivergent I think.

    Sis, your channel is on fire as it should be. You are such a calming spirit to me. My husband and I retired in March of this year, so I understand the part of learning to slow down and relax. I am almost there. Ok, I have never seen oatmeal prepared like that! I even showed my husband and he was like you have to ask her where she learned this recipe ❤. Love love you

      Try savory oatmeal with Irish steel cut oats in your crock pot with chicken or bone broth, cubed pieces of rotisserie chicken, curry powder, a dash of fish sauce, soy sauce, fried egg on top with a drizzle of chili oil and some freeze dried chives. It's so, so good.

Your voice is so soothing and I could listen to you talk all day. I'm so excited for you about your new merch.

Sometimes I get lonely living alone, but watching you makes me appreciate life itself and I forget about the loneliness. You are Amazing.

    FYI...it's a "chassis" battery, pronounced "chas-ee", not "chase". I'm a 65 year old woman and a long-time RVer. I love how you are (finally lol) reading your manual and learning about your home! You have a very high-end RV with sophisticated systems that are designed to do everything efficiently and often automatically. You paid big bucks for your home, and IMHO, you are doing it and yourself a disservice not using all of its wonderful amenities as intended, and you deserve to enjoy all it has to offer! There is absolutely no reason to be freezing cold, or to not use your fresh water system. Your heating system is designed to keep the plumbing lines warm so they won't freeze. Keep on reading and learning! Love your channel.
