I clicked on this thinking it would be about living your life fully as a women, and not allowing fear to limit you. As a woman who has lived alone (with my dog), runs and hikes in the woods and mountains alone, etc, it's important that I turn the fear into simple precautions, then live my journey as I want it to be. Instead, it was a perfectly timed message I truly need, 6 years later, after an election I fear will be disastrous for mother earth and women in general. Instead of letting fears and worries incapacitate me, I've decided to plan an enlarged veggie garden, build a greenhouse, and find organizations, to donate what little I can to, who will fight the awful incoming governmental decisions/decrees in court. I'm also going to take some time to get back to my own nature based worship, which I've let lapse these last few years. Thank you for this wonderful uplifting message, 6 years on.
I live in my van as a single middle aged womyn. Most days I must not let fear dominate my soul or else I would perrish. Womyn like you keep my dream alive and one day I will have land to treat as she should be. For now I have a few tomato plants and others on the dash board of this old beautiful van. No matter where you are treat the land with love and kindness and she will give you what you need. Do not listen or follow these false leaders.
I feared going to Ireland. I feared visiting Bealtaine. I feared quitting my job this summer. I feared starting a new job. I feared moving to California and then Oregon. I feared a lot of things over the last 48 years. But the fear didn't control me. I closed my eyes, smiled internally and said, "Well, either I'll land on my feet or I'll perish. What do I have to lose?" So I've done things that seem like "miracles" to the outside world. It was listening to my own intuition that allowed me to overcome and rise above the fear. Then I surrounded myself with people that were similar. Like you Colette! And finally, we move together as a group of like-minded people -- leaders and powerful beings -- with positive and loving intention as our weapon.
Dwayne Custer your message has given me strength to get out of the fear and move forward. I am a fourth generation Californian and have the need to go to Oregon where I might find people of like mind.
This is lovely. I have been feeling like this lately but some moments I feel calm and strong and other moments I'm scared I'm gonna be sucked under and unable to resurface.😢
Oh Dear Colette,I wish I knew you 5-10 years ago when the dept. Of transportation STOLE 1/2 acre of my front yard to build a 4 lane highway! They "gave" me fair market value for it .I fought them since 2014.In the end they said if I took them to court ,they would take all of my property and my house thru emanate domain .They then bulldozed all of my beautiful trees and gardens! I sat out there and cried ,I feel like such a failure.I had no money or backing to fight the state no lawyer was willing to loose to the state.The only thing i can do is plant the rest of the property and take care of the wetlands in back. Three years later they still have not put in the highway, only sewer and water line.It has been a horrible nightmare! This is why I put my headphones on and listen to you and your wonderfulwoodland and those birds. It does give me some relief from the destruction going on outside. Thank you
I really needed to hear this, Colette. Thank you. The fear of the unknown after 27 years of marriage, being left to slide back into the poverty I clawed my way out of with blood sweat and tears, this is fearsome.... it is overwhelming, it feels like the world is telling me I have no worth. But I will do what makes me happy and call it minimalism, not poverty, I will call it freedom, not unemployment, I will call it adventure, not uncertainty. I will "turn my back" on that which threatens to take my power and destroy me and I will create and live. Thank you Colette. Thank you.
I have found this video today 17th April 2024... Marvellous speech dearest Colette!! No more words to add and nothing to take away. Your words embody the true conscoiusness everyone has to develop in order to live this life, which we know it doesn't end after the death of the body, but that we have to care for and to honor as a temple for our souls. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and Blessings to you and everythings around you. Paola

@@KMaCK8848 Thank you for your insight. As a 'white woman' raised in the diverse culture of Berkeley California in a school system that was first to implement MLK Day before the nation did, and from the class that was first in integration from K-12 (where I was a minority), I appreciate your perspective. My point is that we are finally seeing some diversity in our government that reflects our nation's community and beliefs on all sides that do not intentionally mean harm. As for your list, I would accept any of those women over what we are coping with right now (with the exception of Phyllis Schlafly, who is from a bygone era, and dead, so for her to be in charge right now would be super-creepy). None of these women intentionally tried to hurt anyone, they stood strong in their beliefs, or, as in the case with Conway and Huckabee, might be operating under duress. I am still proud of us all for coming out to vote, and proud again of my country for stepping up. Offered with love and gratitude for your comment.
Truer words were never spoken. You are delightful. I like how you describe your planting as "guerilla warfare". Instead of raising your fist at what you don't like, you are planting what you do want. Such an inspiration. Love it.

Living with chronic anxiety, I have always been fearful. A powerful quote from the vlog rang true for me. "We should not allow fear into our psyches, because we just imprisoned ourselves." Collete O'Neil of Bealtaine Cottage, Ireland.
Well said Collette! I spend my time challenging accepted mores and unthinking bureacracy but it is really hard work at times. My friends say I am a rugged individualist for living differently but ask why I make life so hard for myself, but I say look at history. Staying silent is disastrous. At my time of life when i have no young family dependent on me any more, no career to carve out, no mortgage to pay off, it is important that I do challenge. Personally I think it is the job of people in their sixties and seventies to speak out, to challenge and to defy. To be an example and a hope for the young ones that life can be different from that shown to them by our governments: that we have life to live, other lives to care for and an equal right with others, however important, to say what we believe is right for the Earth and its environments. I don't win all my battles, but I keep on keeping on and living in harmony with my little patch of earth and the wild creatures therein. And one more thing: there is such power in being a white haired old lady: they do not expect us to be or think radically: they are afraid of public opinion if they treat us badly: one threat of newspaper articles about bullying an old lady and they back down. i am fearless most of the time, but when i feel frail, I act fearlessly none the less. Thank you so much for being a standard bearer and speaking out so eloquently: you give us backbone when we are weary:)
Dear Colette, yes money and fear rules the world. When they generate enough fear , people become governable. Knowing to much is dangerous in there eyes, because then we are not longer steerable. We are not rebellious enough. Today i become a little garden rebel. The grass between the stones on the garden path may grow instantly . Oh yeah what my neighbors ( row house ) will think well? I do not care . Mother Earth should get her right with me in my little garden . When we think positively , fear loses its terror . Many good recovery wishes to Sammy. Greetings to you and your loved ones , from Conny Braun and cat Felix from Germany.
This spring for me is at once incredibly beautiful and hopeful, as each spring is and yet, as I contemplate not being physically able to do what I want to put in a garden, to help the land I am often at my least hopeful and most dejected. When that gloom begins to take me over, I watch Bealtine Cottage, listen to Collette's soothing voice and enjoy the slower pace, the true pace of life. Then I feel encouraged, I know I won't give up. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for continuing to share your life, the healing of your land and the beauty of life at Bealtine Cottage.
What I enjoy about your videos Colette, is that you always have a message to make people think. Every government in the world has instilled fear in their people. Many governments have fallen because the people had enough and turned the table onto their government. Thank you Colette for your insight.
I am a former fear monger. It had me on my knees. It took me 4 years of learning mindfulness to escape it. It damaged my health even. Worry will lead to fear. So if you are a constant worrier, you might want to get rid of it also. I love your beautiful videos and words of wisdom. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
I stand in awe of you and your beautiful space. Job well done and I thank you over and over again. Your videos give me peace among the hectics of life. The sounds of birds singing has always soothed my soul. Until your videos, I could only seek the sweet bird music by using a sound machine. Nowadays, my days are filled with the magical gift of birdsong, thanks to you, COLETTE. Good evening from a grateful friend 💗
Stunning video and amazing message! I live in America and it is so true our world leaders don’t care about Mother Earth even though Mother Earth is the thing that is letting us survive and live. We all need to protect Mother Earth and allow it to continue to flourish.
This is the most powerful narration I've received from all of your videos I've seen so far. I just love this. It gave me a warm fuzzy and a straight spine simultaneously. ❤
We have much more power than we give ourselves credit for. Collectively and individually WE CAN CHANGE our environment and do not need the permission of government to help heal Mother Earth. Our little slice of wooded 5 acre heaven is slowly being changed into the Eden we dreamed of after so many decades living in very congested suburbs. Watching it evolve is so exciting and peaceful at the same time. Our choice has been to block out the political noise and work our land at our own slow pace. At the end of the day, looking out at the beauty of Mother Earth, we realize this is truly the biggest part of what feeds both our souls. We become inspired and reenergized by the loveliness of nature. We are always ready for and look forward to another day. It doesn’t get any better than this for us. We don’t need much money to make us happy. A little effort goes a long long way with Mother Earth. Colette there is so much wisdom and power in your words today. 💕🍁🍂
Oh my goodness Collette, this was quite simply profound and exactly what I needed right now, at this very minute, sitting here trying to recover from a horrible migrain. What better force to honor and worship than Mother Earth in all her glory and wonder. Get on with your life......I am stuck and fearful (which is part of the reason for the migrain). Thank you so very much, it is so calming to sit and listen to your voice and Jack? I love you! such a free spirit !
Thank you Colette, for talking me off the cliff this morning. The Tyranny that runs rampant in the country I Love is unbelievable but not unbearable. My family chooses to stay an fight while not letting it consume us. Our Natural Parks, clean water and food is what our family has fought for, going back to our Native American roots. Nature and the respect for it is what truly matters. My hope is that our 13 year old (soon to be Eagle Scout)son will be one of the voices that speaks for Mother Nature. She will do the big part, the healing, but she will need him to raise a fist against those of our race who abuse her. Blessings
Thank you for saying it doesn’t matter what Divine force you believe in, your journey is your journey. If we could each live this we could get along with each other so much better. Blessings.
Colette you make my day. I am so grateful for your beautiful videos and the inspiration and happiness you give to me. I don't know how you do it but you touch my soul. ⚘
Dear Colette your message this morning was I was feeling as if it was meant for me. So glad Sammybear is home. One of my sweet boys is in his final days which has been very difficult for me. Yesterday and all last night I was letting thoughts of despair and hopelessness envelope me. As I got up this morning your video was the first thing I heard. Like I said as if I was meant to hear it at that moment. And yes life has never been easy I am a fighter too. Thank you for that reminder Colette.
This is a very beautiful and powerful piece. Thank you, thank you. I needed every color, every view, all of your words. And all of Jack’s squeaky toy shaking! Steady on.
Colette, I belive you are sharing the messages we all need to hear right now. I'm off to do a chop and drop in my herbaceous bed now - leaving and layering all the old growth on the beds this year. Growing soil and habitat over the Winter.
It's Springy and bright in spite of clouds. Yes music is classically Beautiful, especially the sound of chimes, 🐦 Birds, Spring Lilacs + all good energies, and 🐸 Frogs and Crickets. What a symphony Mother Nature provides.
Love it when you talk full of passion!! Totally feeling it !! We are here to serve mother earth and be in harmony with all of it, including people!!..🙇🏼♀️🍏🍀🍎
I'm 8 months behind on this video. Just found you about 3 weeks ago. Thanks for posting your incites. You've given me much to think about on this Thursday morning in July.
In America being different is looked upon with suspicion in the rural areas of the south. 27 years ago i moved from California to Tennessee with my dying husband, my 2 sons, a dog, a cat and a parrot. My sons both went their own ways. My 2 daughters chose to stay in California. Anyway, I'm getting off topic. I was more pagan in lifestyle than religious. BIG MISTAKE. By not immediately finding a church and attending, i was labled a 'devil worshipper'. Long story short i decided to include God in my life. I still don't go to their churches because i don't find God there, only hate and distrust of 'others'. Hubby died 2 years after coming here. Last year my beloved eldest son, he was only 46 died. So my eldest daughter came to live with me. Life goes on doesn't it. Blessings to you Colette and of course your delightful sidekick Jack.
I lived in Southern California for 25 years. It is such a different culture than where I am from and where I returned to, Upstate New York...Yes,, life does go on...Blessings to you and your family...
Wow! Powerful and inspirational! A rallying cry if ever I heard one, to live in positivity and hope. No more fear. Life is too short and precious to be wasted so. Utterly brilliant Colette 💜 xx
Your words of wisdom are so welcome this morning as I woke to frightening mid term election results. A bit of good news but for the most part disheartening. So I will do my best to work through the fear and get on with my life with joy and creativity.
Your box of frogs, and my box of frogs, will live happily in the ponds on our lands, covered in trees moss flowers, birds and LIFE! From Oregon, with love to Sammy Bear, Jack and you
Very wise words, thanks so much for sharing them! I'm saving this video in my favorites to watch when I feel the chokehold of fear tightening its grip on me.
Even though this video is some years ago every word you have spoken has the same value today and it is a eternal . Fear is the food of every darkness, every Terror on this World and only kindness, laughing and positiv acting can fight it. Anger or Arrogance build it up the same as fear does. It took 50 years to find out, to realize and understand the mechanism.... well at least but not last😂as people say....
Thank you Colette. I only "discovered" you and your Eden a few days ago. Your message today was exactly what I needed. You truly are an inspiration to us all.
Thank you Colette for the reminder. Such beautiful fall colors, just gorgeous. Energy, color, light, frequency, vibration and resonance. Love and gratitude
I'm so glad that Sammy Bear is home - we all feel so much better at home, don't we? I am feeling more hopeful, after the elections. People are finally acting! Fear is such an insidious thing - once you let it in, it takes hold and ruins all beautiful thoughts. I prefer hope. Thank you for always keeping us present and looking up. xo
We need to realize that we have power first of all. Otherwise, how can we answer the question, "why did you give your power away?" Throughout history power and control have been exercised on land and people. It always boils down to money.
Thank you Colette for such an empowering, motivational post, you daily inspire me. We shall overcome and Mother Earth, the Universe, creation will thrive however many times it's knocked back. Power to the people. Blessings, continued prayers for Sammy Bear, much love to you all from me and Molly ❤🐕❤🐈❤🌲
Wonderful stroll and discussion, your words reminded me of a movie I watched last night called Shawshank, the basic message was despite the powers that be,, you can start living or start dying , never give up there is always hope!!! And by example you have showed us what is possible with a dream and hard work! 💕
A wonderful message! I needed that little jolt this morning! Just by you being yourself, you are helping Earth 🌎 and so many people! You are a blessing and I thank you!! Have a terrific day! More wellness vibes to SammyBear! 💞❤🌼🌲🐾🍁🎉
Colette, your words today are an answered prayer. As if the message applied directly to me. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and grace...😻🐕🍂🌳🍁🌰🌼💕
Beautiful and inspiring message...fear to me is really just the opposite of love...nothing we see around us would exist if we would have let fear rule us...I continue to choose love
Thank you dear dear Colette, for all you are, and all you do. Thank you love. My heart is far the better for knowing of you, and we send our great love and sorrow at the passing of your mate, the Valiant Sammybear. We all walk with you. Blessings Be, dear dear lady...
That is the exact rant I needed to hear this morning. I'm scared of everything and have yet to create my version of what you have created. I'm on the right path though and am helping others in the meantime. Love you. I really miss Jack and Sammy Bear. Goddess Bless you again my Sister.
You are such a kindred spirit Collette and agree so deeply with what you say and live X you have the gift of being in presence X blessings to you playful jack and Sammy bear🙏💚🌳🍂🍁🌾✨☀️🌕🦋 ps your powerful message even more relevant in the world now 🌏💚two years later! Never underestimate the power of the elders and crone wisdom🙏🌳💚
Thank you, Colette! Such powerful words with all the strength of truth!!! We all need this reminder.. on a daily basis...to lift us as we do battle with the forces which would tear down the goodness we choose to have in our life. Yes! FREEDOM is feared by those "power" forces because it rips away their facade to reveal their ugly true nature! They are the ones who go about slashing things to try convince us they are so strong but in the end they will shrivel and die in the darkness of the life they created for themselves. May each of us carry the veracity of these words - freedom and love - as the shield they are, to cast aside the ugliness from our daily paths. It is a battle; but, as you have said each of us is capable to exert our strength to show what is good and just! Your words were so needed after so many of your followers here in America awakened after a long day of voting. As a side note, I just read that the beautiful city of Madison, Wisconsin (population 145k +) had a voter turnout of 92.9% of registered voters yesterday...unheard of event! So many across the country chose to reclaim and exercise their rights even while so much effort was made to suppress and deny their freedoms. Some suppressors retained their positions through all kinds of means BUT the undressing has begun! Let the bugles sound...the emperors' march has begun! All blessings to you and your sweet recovering white knight!
Formation1 Now I am so proud of our beautiful state right now. This is why we chose retirement in Wisconsin decades ago. It has always been as smart as it is beautiful! I must say I was beginning to lose faith over the years but last night underscores why we chose Wisconsin! It doesn’t change how we go about our daily life but it does feel good knowing our people care and are paying attention 😉
Colette- you truly are an angel to me! I did have stress over the political tension with the mid term elections yesterday, but the universe was watching over me...I received the map and book I ordered from you and then this video. These happenings have inspired me to not give up hope! Thank you for what you do and sharing it with the world!!! Much love to you and your fur babes. 💜
This is a brilliant video. I am really inspired by these ideas. I love to have your courage to be bold enough to do what is in your heart. Well said your journey is your journey.
Preach it girl preach it, you are telling the truth. I love listening to you because you are telling the truth. And you have me back in my garden planting like a mad person hehehe.
Amazing colours Colette. You are in the 'real world' right there. There is no fear in your garden only love. Unfortunately many still believe what they hear and see on the media must be the 'real world' and of course the fear promoted there is the form of control used on the masses. We all have the ability to create anything we want. May we all awaken and go create 'life' lovingly. Blessings.
I've just discovered this, and our perspective - I feel alive for the first time at almost 56 years old - I love gardening on my apartment patio, as much crammed on as possible. I've had a hummingbird and toad on my patio.. that is surrounded by stones and asphalt - so I have s good small eco system there. I now meditate and live every moment (and enjoy it). My dream is living where I have trees/gardens
Each of us in our own way make a large difference and touch more people then we know - just like the pebble tossed into a pond with it's ripples continuing to go further and further. Colleen - look at all of the people you have touched. At this writing, you have over 44,000 subscribers and there are 168 comments to this one video. I once heard the word FEAR described as False Evidence Appearing Real. It's only how we think about it in our own minds. One person is afraid of this and the next person is afraid of that. Is either fear real or false evidence appearing real from what we've been told by others. We each need to think and do what feels right in our own way.
Right on dear sister Colette: you are a rousing, heartfelt, valiant truthsayer. The truth speaks through you, and Mother Earth speaks through you, and all around you on your land nature demonstrates the truth. We, your subscribers, are witness to this. Vive la revolution! Vive la evolution!
Dear Bealtaine, your subscriber Neffie sent me here, and i'm astounded at the sanctuary you've created. For you and all the other living creatures and plants living there!!! It is spectacular, and i'll be a regular visitor here! Thank you so much, and to Neffie too for sending me here xo
Very wise words. It's truly gorgeous. Thank you for words of wisdom. You are a True, Faithful, and Spiritual Lady. Love you. Blessings to you and Jack.
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. I am currently facing a handful of fears that are both personal and reactionary to the circumstances of our human existence. I can see the possibility of inner freedom and feel life stream through me when I see a plant popping up through a crack in the sidewalk(urban areas, for eg.). I see these tiny plants as a reminder of their ability to persist because the flower or plant is sourced from the earth. The cycle of life is a much greater force than anything we may build or perceive as a great advancement. I love the moments when I feel connected to life. Those are the times when I am reminded that everything will be okay in the bigger picture because my dearest friend, the natural world, will be there when I need a nudge from them,
I've only came across your Channel today and I can't even describe the feelings I'm feeling right now you've said in this video today has opened my eyes to things and I deeply deeply appreciate you for doing this today I will probably spend the rest of the day going through your other videos thank you so much
Watching this 4 years on, how the world has changed. Who could ever have imagined what we're all going through now. You were right in everything you said in this video. Keep speaking out Collette, there's many who are waking up now. Sending love from Perth Western Australia

And one more thing: there is such power in being a white haired old lady: they do not expect us to be or think radically: they are afraid of public opinion if they treat us badly: one threat of newspaper articles about bullying an old lady and they back down. i am fearless most of the time, but when i feel frail, I act fearlessly none the less.
Thank you so much for being a standard bearer and speaking out so eloquently: you give us backbone when we are weary:)
Dear Colette, yes money and fear rules the world. When they generate enough fear , people become governable. Knowing to much is dangerous in there eyes, because then we are not longer steerable. We are not rebellious enough. Today i become a little garden rebel. The grass between the stones on the garden path may grow instantly . Oh yeah what my neighbors ( row house ) will think well? I do not care . Mother Earth should get her right with me in my little garden . When we think positively , fear loses its terror . Many good recovery wishes to Sammy. Greetings to you and your loved ones , from Conny Braun and cat Felix from Germany.
This spring for me is at once incredibly beautiful and hopeful, as each spring is and yet, as I contemplate not being physically able to do what I want to put in a garden, to help the land I am often at my least hopeful and most dejected. When that gloom begins to take me over, I watch Bealtine Cottage, listen to Collette's soothing voice and enjoy the slower pace, the true pace of life. Then I feel encouraged, I know I won't give up. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for continuing to share your life, the healing of your land and the beauty of life at Bealtine Cottage.
True now more than ever
Eternally true 🙏💚🦋
I know this video is a couple of years old, but you do reinsure me that I should not worry about the situation in the world right now. Thank you!
What I enjoy about your videos Colette, is that you always have a message to make people think. Every government in the world has instilled fear in their people. Many governments have fallen because the people had enough and turned the table onto their government. Thank you Colette for your insight.
I am a former fear monger. It had me on my knees. It took me 4 years of learning mindfulness to escape it. It damaged my health even. Worry will lead to fear. So if you are a constant worrier, you might want to get rid of it also. I love your beautiful videos and words of wisdom. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
I stand in awe of you and your beautiful space. Job well done and I thank you over and over again. Your videos give me peace among the hectics of life. The sounds of birds singing has always soothed my soul. Until your videos, I could only seek the sweet bird music by using a sound machine. Nowadays, my days are filled with the magical gift of birdsong, thanks to you, COLETTE. Good evening from a grateful friend 💗
Blessings to you Brenda X
Stunning video and amazing message! I live in America and it is so true our world leaders don’t care about Mother Earth even though Mother Earth is the thing that is letting us survive and live. We all need to protect Mother Earth and allow it to continue to flourish.
This is the most powerful narration I've received from all of your videos I've seen so far. I just love this. It gave me a warm fuzzy and a straight spine simultaneously. ❤
We have much more power than we give ourselves credit for. Collectively and individually WE CAN CHANGE our environment and do not need the permission of government to help heal Mother Earth. Our little slice of wooded 5 acre heaven is slowly being changed into the Eden we dreamed of after so many decades living in very congested suburbs. Watching it evolve is so exciting and peaceful at the same time. Our choice has been to block out the political noise and work our land at our own slow pace. At the end of the day, looking out at the beauty of Mother Earth, we realize this is truly the biggest part of what feeds both our souls. We become inspired and reenergized by the loveliness of nature. We are always ready for and look forward to another day. It doesn’t get any better than this for us. We don’t need much money to make us happy. A little effort goes a long long way with Mother Earth. Colette there is so much wisdom and power in your words today. 💕🍁🍂
Oh my goodness Collette, this was quite simply profound and exactly what I needed right now, at this very minute, sitting here trying to recover from a horrible migrain. What better force to honor and worship than Mother Earth in all her glory and wonder. Get on with your life......I am stuck and fearful (which is part of the reason for the migrain). Thank you so very much, it is so calming to sit and listen to your voice and Jack? I love you! such a free spirit !
Thank you Colette, for talking me off the cliff this morning. The Tyranny that runs rampant in the country I Love is unbelievable but not unbearable. My family chooses to stay an fight while not letting it consume us. Our Natural Parks, clean water and food is what our family has fought for, going back to our Native American roots. Nature and the respect for it is what truly matters. My hope is that our 13 year old (soon to be Eagle Scout)son will be one of the voices that speaks for Mother Nature. She will do the big part, the healing, but she will need him to raise a fist against those of our race who abuse her. Blessings
Wise , empowering and challenging words. Bless you Colette for encouraging us 💚
Thank you for saying it doesn’t matter what Divine force you believe in, your journey is your journey. If we could each live this we could get along with each other so much better. Blessings.
Colette you make my day. I am so grateful for your beautiful videos and the inspiration and happiness you give to me. I don't know how you do it but you touch my soul. ⚘
Beautiful :) I think it was Bill Mollison who once said that what he practiced and taught was not permaculture, but sedition.
YES!!!!!! Thank you for being YOU! And Jack is such a happy fellow...he is the kind of 'leader' we need in this world!
Dear Colette your message this morning was I was feeling as if it was meant for me. So glad Sammybear is home. One of my sweet boys is in his final days which has been very difficult for me. Yesterday and all last night I was letting thoughts of despair and hopelessness envelope me. As I got up this morning your video was the first thing I heard. Like I said as if I was meant to hear it at that moment. And yes life has never been easy I am a fighter too. Thank you for that reminder Colette.
Patricia Hoeger I hope you find Peace as one of your Sweet boys passes sending Love and Light
Oh Wow! The colours in your garden at the beginning of the video as I am just watching! Its like an artists pallette. 😍 beautiful. X
This is a very beautiful and powerful piece. Thank you, thank you. I needed every color, every view, all of your words. And all of Jack’s squeaky toy shaking! Steady on.
Colette, I belive you are sharing the messages we all need to hear right now. I'm off to do a chop and drop in my herbaceous bed now - leaving and layering all the old growth on the beds this year. Growing soil and habitat over the Winter.
If you only knew how perfect this message was for me this morning.. so much love to you!
It's Springy and bright in spite of clouds. Yes music is classically Beautiful, especially the sound of chimes, 🐦 Birds, Spring Lilacs + all good energies, and 🐸 Frogs and Crickets. What a symphony Mother Nature provides.
Man won't destroy Mother earth, Mother Earth will destroy Man unless he starts to respect her and give up his greed.
Yup, and it's happening now.
Love it when you talk full of passion!! Totally feeling it !! We are here to serve mother earth and be in harmony with all of it, including people!!..🙇🏼♀️🍏🍀🍎
I'm 8 months behind on this video. Just found you about 3 weeks ago. Thanks for posting your incites. You've given me much to think about on this Thursday morning in July.
In America being different is looked upon with suspicion in the rural areas of the south.
27 years ago i moved from California to Tennessee with my dying husband, my 2 sons, a dog, a cat and a parrot. My sons both went their own ways. My 2 daughters chose to stay in California. Anyway, I'm getting off topic. I was more pagan in lifestyle than religious. BIG MISTAKE. By not immediately finding a church and attending, i was labled a 'devil worshipper'. Long story short i decided to include God in my life. I still don't go to their churches because i don't find God there, only hate and distrust of 'others'. Hubby died 2 years after coming here. Last year my beloved eldest son, he was only 46 died. So my eldest daughter came to live with me. Life goes on doesn't it.
Blessings to you Colette and of course your delightful sidekick Jack.
Blessings to you XXX
I lived in Southern California for 25 years. It is such a different culture than where I am from and where I returned to, Upstate New York...Yes,, life does go on...Blessings to you and your family...
Wow! Powerful and inspirational! A rallying cry if ever I heard one, to live in positivity and hope. No more fear. Life is too short and precious to be wasted so. Utterly brilliant Colette 💜 xx
Nature is no profit it's true. But i love mother earth. I wish to live in harmony as you. Much blessings to you Collette.
Your words of wisdom are so welcome this morning as I woke to frightening mid term election results. A bit of good news but for the most part disheartening. So I will do my best to work through the fear and get on with my life with joy and creativity.
Your box of frogs, and my box of frogs, will live happily in the ponds on our lands, covered in trees moss flowers, birds and LIFE! From Oregon, with love to Sammy Bear, Jack and you
Very wise words, thanks so much for sharing them! I'm saving this video in my favorites to watch when I feel the chokehold of fear tightening its grip on me.
Even though this video is some years ago every word you have spoken has the same value today and it is a eternal . Fear is the food of every darkness, every Terror on this World and only kindness, laughing and positiv acting can fight it. Anger or Arrogance build it up the same as fear does. It took 50 years to find out, to realize and understand the mechanism.... well at least but not last😂as people say....
Thank you Colette. I only "discovered" you and your Eden a few days ago. Your message today was exactly what I needed. You truly are an inspiration to us all.
Very wise words, healthy, sincere. Thank you.
Colette, I hope this gets bumped up into the queue for everyone again, 2 1/2 years later.
Today I am celebrating the beautiful expression of creation that you are! Blessed Be!
Thank you Colette for the reminder. Such beautiful fall colors, just gorgeous. Energy, color, light, frequency, vibration and resonance. Love and gratitude
I'm so glad that Sammy Bear is home - we all feel so much better at home, don't we? I am feeling more hopeful, after the elections. People are finally acting! Fear is such an insidious thing - once you let it in, it takes hold and ruins all beautiful thoughts. I prefer hope. Thank you for always keeping us present and looking up. xo
We need to realize that we have power first of all. Otherwise, how can we answer the question, "why did you give your power away?" Throughout history power and control have been exercised on land and people. It always boils down to money.
Love your cottage, your words, your plants and your dog. I would love my home and land to mirror yours. You go, Girl!
Thank you Colette for such an empowering, motivational post, you daily inspire me. We shall overcome and Mother Earth, the Universe, creation will thrive however many times it's knocked back.
Power to the people.
Blessings, continued prayers for Sammy Bear, much love to you all from me and Molly ❤🐕❤🐈❤🌲
Wonderful stroll and discussion, your words reminded me of a movie I watched last night called Shawshank, the basic message was despite the powers that be,, you can start living or start dying , never give up there is always hope!!! And by example you have showed us what is possible with a dream and hard work! 💕
A wonderful message! I needed that little jolt this morning! Just by you being yourself, you are helping Earth 🌎 and so many people! You are a blessing and I thank you!! Have a terrific day! More wellness vibes to SammyBear!
💞❤🌼🌲🐾🍁🎉
Colette, your words today are an answered prayer. As if the message applied directly to me. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and grace...😻🐕🍂🌳🍁🌰🌼💕
Beautiful and inspiring message...fear to me is really just the opposite of love...nothing we see around us would exist if we would have let fear rule us...I continue to choose love
Thank you dear dear Colette, for all you are, and all you do. Thank you love. My heart is far the better for knowing of you, and we send our great love and sorrow at the passing of your mate, the Valiant Sammybear. We all walk with you. Blessings Be, dear dear lady...
What a powerful, powerful message Colette!
Rewatching in 2023 when the algorithm brought it to me. Back from the future, it hasn't gotten anybetter
And here I am in 2024... determined to be the leader of my own life and piece of the earth, despite what has happened in THIS election.
Well said Collette! Good to hear Sammy Bear is on the mend...Blessings to you, Jack and Sammy Bear
Ahh, Colette, thank you! For this rallying call and reminder of what is true and right! Climbing into that roller coaster front seat alongside x o
Such a strong message especially for today (July 2021), this is a wake up message people
That is the exact rant I needed to hear this morning. I'm scared of everything and have yet to create my version of what you have created. I'm on the right path though and am helping others in the meantime. Love you. I really miss Jack and Sammy Bear. Goddess Bless you again my Sister.
Where our thoughts go, our energy flows.
I couldn’t agree more Colette , well said . So happy that Sammy Bear is getting better . Jack still as daft as ever 😂.blessings xxxx
Such powerful words, I will hold them close to my heart. Blessings Colette
You are such a kindred spirit Collette and agree so deeply with what you say and live X you have the gift of being in presence X blessings to you playful jack and Sammy bear🙏💚🌳🍂🍁🌾✨☀️🌕🦋 ps your powerful message even more relevant in the world now 🌏💚two years later! Never underestimate the power of the elders and crone wisdom🙏🌳💚
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. We all need to hear and regularly be reminded of the power we posses to be the real change needed in this world.
Thank you, Collette, this video could have been made for me. It was everything I needed to hear today...Blessings coming back at you x
Thank you, Colette! Such powerful words with all the strength of truth!!! We all need this reminder.. on a daily basis...to lift us as we do battle with the forces which would tear down the goodness we choose to have in our life. Yes! FREEDOM is feared by those "power" forces because it rips away their facade to reveal their ugly true nature! They are the ones who go about slashing things to try convince us they are so strong but in the end they will shrivel and die in the darkness of the life they created for themselves. May each of us carry the veracity of these words - freedom and love - as the shield they are, to cast aside the ugliness from our daily paths. It is a battle; but, as you have said each of us is capable to exert our strength to show what is good and just! Your words were so needed after so many of your followers here in America awakened after a long day of voting. As a side note, I just read that the beautiful city of Madison, Wisconsin (population 145k +) had a voter turnout of 92.9% of registered voters yesterday...unheard of event! So many across the country chose to reclaim and exercise their rights even while so much effort was made to suppress and deny their freedoms. Some suppressors retained their positions through all kinds of means BUT the undressing has begun! Let the bugles sound...the emperors' march has begun! All blessings to you and your sweet recovering white knight!
Formation1 Now I am so proud of our beautiful state right now. This is why we chose retirement in Wisconsin decades ago. It has always been as smart as it is beautiful! I must say I was beginning to lose faith over the years but last night underscores why we chose Wisconsin! It doesn’t change how we go about our daily life but it does feel good knowing our people care and are paying attention 😉
Janette Lavender wow! Was your ancestor william Wallace, that was a great rallying speech 👍
Powerful Colette! Beautiful autumn colours, amazing. So pleased Sammybear is holding his own ...
Blessed words of truth so timely and appreciated ❣️Thank you and many blessings and special energy if love for Sammie Bear 😘
Thank you Colette, I needed this! Kisses and hugs for you and Sammy.... and your Jack of course.
You definitely don’t allow fear to dominate your color choices ;o) Love your purple walls 💕❤️💕
Colette- you truly are an angel to me! I did have stress over the political tension with the mid term elections yesterday, but the universe was watching over me...I received the map and book I ordered from you and then this video. These happenings have inspired me to not give up hope! Thank you for what you do and sharing it with the world!!! Much love to you and your fur babes. 💜
This is a brilliant video. I am really inspired by these ideas. I love to have your courage to be bold enough to do what is in your heart. Well said your journey is your journey.
Preach it girl preach it, you are telling the truth. I love listening to you because you are telling the truth. And you have me back in my garden planting like a mad person hehehe.
Amazing colours Colette. You are in the 'real world' right there. There is no fear in your garden only love. Unfortunately many still believe what they hear and see on the media must be the 'real world' and of course the fear promoted there is the form of control used on the masses. We all have the ability to create anything we want. May we all awaken and go create 'life' lovingly. Blessings.
I've just discovered this, and our perspective - I feel alive for the first time at almost 56 years old - I love gardening on my apartment patio, as much crammed on as possible. I've had a hummingbird and toad on my patio.. that is surrounded by stones and asphalt - so I have s good small eco system there. I now meditate and live every moment (and enjoy it). My dream is living where I have trees/gardens
On this, our morning after, your insights are welcome. Now, on with this radical Life!
Good Day to y'all! I need to hurry off to my job. I will write more later! Love & Much gratitude to you and your fur friends!
Each of us in our own way make a large difference and touch more people then we know - just like the pebble tossed into a pond with it's ripples continuing to go further and further. Colleen - look at all of the people you have touched. At this writing, you have over 44,000 subscribers and there are 168 comments to this one video. I once heard the word FEAR described as False Evidence Appearing Real. It's only how we think about it in our own minds. One person is afraid of this and the next person is afraid of that. Is either fear real or false evidence appearing real from what we've been told by others. We each need to think and do what feels right in our own way.
Thank you Colette, powerful force, beliefs and words! Absolutely beautiful and inspiring 💓💓💓
The most luscious color on the grounds.
Right on dear sister Colette: you are a rousing, heartfelt, valiant truthsayer. The truth speaks through you, and Mother Earth speaks through you, and all around you on your land nature demonstrates the truth. We, your subscribers, are witness to this. Vive la revolution! Vive la evolution!
Dear Bealtaine, your subscriber Neffie sent me here, and i'm astounded at the sanctuary you've created. For you and all the other living creatures and plants living there!!! It is spectacular, and i'll be a regular visitor here! Thank you so much, and to Neffie too for sending me here xo
Very wise words. It's truly gorgeous. Thank you for words of wisdom. You are a True, Faithful, and Spiritual Lady. Love you. Blessings to you and Jack.
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. I am currently facing a handful of fears that are both personal and reactionary to the circumstances of our human existence. I can see the possibility of inner freedom and feel life stream through me when I see a plant popping up through a crack in the sidewalk(urban areas, for eg.). I see these tiny plants as a reminder of their ability to persist because the flower or plant is sourced from the earth. The cycle of life is a much greater force than anything we may build or perceive as a great advancement. I love the moments when I feel connected to life. Those are the times when I am reminded that everything will be okay in the bigger picture because my dearest friend, the natural world, will be there when I need a nudge from them,
Brilliant, thanks Colette, very timely
I've only came across your Channel today and I can't even describe the feelings I'm feeling right now you've said in this video today has opened my eyes to things and I deeply deeply appreciate you for doing this today I will probably spend the rest of the day going through your other videos thank you so much
Thank you for this video Colette. A timely reminder which I needed right now x
Watching this 4 years on, how the world has changed. Who could ever have imagined what we're all going through now. You were right in everything you said in this video. Keep speaking out Collette, there's many who are waking up now. Sending love from Perth Western Australia
Beautifully said ❤
Fantastic. Thank you. I find these vlogs very inspirational and moving. I'm now going out to my garden to plant xx
