So true! Watched every second
Seriously, people like your content for many reasons. Growth and change is part of life. Interesting video!
Absolutely not! Loved it !
Thissss 💕
Your grandmother's advice: "not to continue the cycle (of abuse) and make your own decisions" Precious ❤️
Agreed.
I can’t stop savoring how Luke looks at you. We are so thankful you found a man to treasure every essence of you. He absolutely adores you so much, he even wants to drink your ‘fake tea’, and smiles at doing so. 🌸💕❤️. The two of you will have a blessed life. We are so thrilled for the two of you.
Paola, I am 75 years young and I want to share with you that The Cottage Fairy healed something very deep inside me~ I don’t know how, but it was close to a miracle. Thank you for doing what you do !
Yes Im 69 and it goes to show this young lady appeals to all ages...🤗
What a beautiful comment, Dianna. Made me happy to hear! 💕
58 here I completely agree, she is a gift to the world ☺
As long as there is breathe there is opportunity to heal!
Dianna would love to hear your ‘story’. ❤️🌸
That is so wonderful!!!!
I really admire your mom's and abeula's personality. They are emitting such positive energy.
Same. Love their pure laughter!
Que hermosas tu mama y tu abuelita. Mujeres bellas sencillas y alegres. Tienes una familia que otros sueñan tener.
Yeah and they are conscious about their life n change...
Hello ARMY 💜
Your grandmother is so brave. Clearing up ancestral burdens through openness is so crucial. Kudos to her, your mom and you!
Thank you for saying this: "Clearing up ancestral burdens through openness is so crucial". Thank you. Thank you.
Agreed. Secrets only feed shame which itself only feeds the pain and those in pain will hurt others and so it goes. What’s brought into the light can heal.
Luke had me at... "I want some fake tea". And blowing us a kiss at the end! Awesome! Your family is beautiful Cottage Fairy! ❤
You've picked a gem of a husband from the gem forest...Genesis 2:18 KJV
And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. ❤️
Firstly, what a privilege and blessing to still have your mom and grandmother around. Treasure them and their childhood stories. Secondly, Luke reminds me so much of my late husband. I walked with my head in the clouds...but my late husband kept me grounded. He understood me like no one else and loved me unconditionally. I think you and Luke make a beautiful couple. Stay strong.
I loved when Luke said he loved being with you. That he'd waited a long time for this situation. So sweet😊
Paola: This video was a stellar idea! It is so apparent from how he looks at you and interacts with you that your husband ADORES you! That makes me so happy for the two of you!
I thought so too....his eyes showed so much love...
That was so so sweet to see!
Yes, it is so evident that your husband loves you so much.
He's a keeper! 👍🏻
Joanne,
Every word you wrote…
EXACTLY my sentiments!
Ah...So lovely! My cousin and I were talking this evening about how we are the cycle breakers in our generation. I have utmost respect and admiration for your grandmother and mother. Aren't you fortunate to have their strength running in your veins? And what a handsome young man Luke is...you are so fortunate to have found each other! Thanks for sharing your beloved people with us!
I agree! What a special video ❤️
Hello Candace how are you doing?
Yes! It is good to be cycle breakers!!
Goodness seeing 3 generations and hearing how one did better for the other is so so inspiring. This is called breaking generational trauma ❤
Oh he is LOVELY! And the way Luke looks at you, Paola, speaks volumes about his love for you. Loved your mother and grandmother too. Thank you for this peek into your personal life. xx
Can't blame Luke, im in awww of her Astonishing Beauty!!
My god she could model anything.
I agree. He is absolutely besotted with her. 💕🌻☘️❤️. She is so other-worldly in how sweet and innocent she is, and Luke just watches on with wonder. Luke, just know, she has that effect on us too.😁🧚♀️🍃
When her grandmother mentioned the Turkish soap opera I laughed out loud since I’m addicted to them too.
@@julieanna8495well said
Your abuelita/grandmother is so right, about breaking the cycle of any negative behavior. And this is where good friends can play such an important role.
Hello Beth how are you doing
Paola, you are a rare flower in the Garden of Eden. Thanks for all you do, and the beauty and joy you spread around.
A rare flower in the Garden Of Eden indeed, someone who immersed herself in the peace of solitude, who saw what kept her from her true self, who created exquisite beauty out of her unique beauty. Thank you Paola for the modeling and inspiration you give me through your artistry.
Luke is such a nice, supportive, friendly husband😀. You both look so happy and cute together. And your mother and grandmother are wonderful. Loved the video!
I hope you have a beautiful week everyone
People around you are so lucky to get to know you .. such a sweet real life fairy 🧚
🥰🥰🥰🥰🧚🧚🧚🧚🧚🧚🧚🧚
You are a darling girl. Cherished gem. Honest. Sterling. There is a struggle.Check the wiring in your new home. Is it properly grounded....Could be an issue. You are lovely. Transition isn't without effort, ups and downs.
Thank you for this sweet video ♥️♥️. You and Luke are a lovely couple.
You ladies of the family are beautiful souls and I see most resemblance to your abuelita. Luke and you are twinning already! Casual laughter is the best, a wonderful unity is showing in you two already. Thanks for your generous sharing of your most cherished family. 🙋🏼♀️🧡 things will improve my dear.
What a nice surprise to lift my phone and see you have posted an extra video today! ♥️ I loved it!! Thank you! Your Mom and Abuelita look so sweet and I could see your husband loves you dearly ♥️♥️
You’ll be fine. You’re surrounded by lots of love ❤️ ♥️ including mine ♥️
Your abuela sent me into tears. I have recently broken away and stopped talking to my narcissistic mother who has verbally abused me so much of my life. It has been hard as she wants back in, but your grandmothers words spoke right to my soul! I am breaking the generational trauma for my children 💗 thank you for the blessing that your channel is!
Sweet Kate....it is worth going through the pain to live in a place of peace continually and not drama and trauma. I pray the Lord brings you healing and comfort as you walk into healthy boundaries. And that you have deeper joy and wisdom to share with your own dear children as a result. Sending a hug your way today, mother to mother 🖤
Dear Kate, I grew up the same and walked away to give my children a normal life twenty plus years ago. She recently died and while I wish things would have been different I don't regret walking away for one minute.
You have wonderful people in your life Paola! Your mother, grandmother, your husband, they are all very sweet. Thanks for sharing this part of your life with us!
I smiled the whole way through this video! The mami and abuelita such perfection and now I understand your ways and soft spoken demeanor. Luke was the icing on the cake -- he is a great match for you; I can see the love -- shy and reserved but looks at you like a husband should, so lovingly! Thank you for sharing them with us. ❤️. Love my beautiful cards I ordered, so special!
I smiled and cried....wish we were neighbors
I did too! I smiled from beginning to end!
I smiled the whole way through as well!
If someone wants to know what love looks like, I recommend this video!
The way Luke looks at you is so sweet. It's obvious that he is in complete awe of you. This was a very heartwarming video Paola.
I found myself smiling the entire length of this video. It is just filled with love and smiles and they are contagious! Thank you. What an amazing family you have🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh my gosh, saaaaaame! Smiling the whole way 💚
Totally… same! Smiled entire length of this video! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Agree! You have so much love around you 💞
Me too! What a treat :)
I found myself smiling too, the enire video !😊 Amazing family and amazing Paola ❤
My childhood was like your grandmother’s. I was very sensitive and wanted desperately to be loved. My beautiful husband of 43 years and I decided to do things very differently. He is my rock and my forever love. ❤️
Same here, I went to therapy again but this time I was introduced to EMDRT, life changing to resolve trauma.
@@veronicabalmer5644 Im glad to hear you were introduced to EMDR! It's been so helpful for me too
@@shyamala.kishori years of therapy un different countries and no one ever mention it... everyone should have the opportunity to try
Dear Poala, I stumbled across The Cottage Fairy a few days ago and I am so grateful! I have been watching your videos before sleep since. I have been feeling a bit lost and I want to thank you for helping me feel calmer, more focused, less fearful and more hopeful. Bless you. Lots of love, Wendy (London) x
Thank you for the idea to watch this channel before bedtime.🍃💕. How could one NOT become de-stressed enough for restful sleep after listening to her sweet, calm voice? I am in my 60s and I am in awe of her poise and essence. She is such a lady.
I ALWAYS save up her videos for when I am in bed ready to sleep, it's so comforting and relaxing. Saff (Devon) x
I found her right on time before entering a new chapter in my life…my only daughter headed off to college..I’m home alone with more time on my hands ..watching her videos have been so helpful to me at a time like this..i cuddle up on my couch 🛋 and binge watch one video after another✨
The way Luke looks at you
Your grandmother has my deepest, deepest respect. Breaking the cycle of abuse is so difficult, and even people with the best intentions can not do it, yet she says it like it wasn't a big deal.
One thing I have often told my mother, was that I respected and admired her for going through hell as a child, teen, and young woman at the hands of her father, but that she refused to be like him. It takes iron will and it's not easy but listening to your grandmother and my mother, they make it seem like a no-brainer.
May God bless them eternally for giving us happy and violence free childhoods so that we have nothing but love and tolerance to pass on to our children. ❤️❤️❤️
My way of breaking the abuse cycle was not to have children. I am a great auntie.
Not going to lie, I cried a few happy tears over this ❤️ Especially what your abuela said. I am breaking some cycles over here myself, so it was beautiful to me to see her example and the lovely people (herself included) whose lives were shaped by her choices.
Thank you for sharing these special people with us!
I could listen you mom and grandma talking all day, it was like a cozy porch gathering 🤍
It's amazing to see 3 generations of women laughing and chatting in different languages, and so seamlessly as well. For me that would be the ultimate happiness in my life but unfortunately that ship has sailed, sadly. Cherish all those moments you have together and I would recommend recording more videos for yourself of your family. It's nice to hear you speaking Spanish :) x
That ship has sailed for me too but I have many wonderful memories of conversations around the dining room table mid morning, with my mom, my aunt, my grandmother, and my great grandmother. I don’t remember the words, but I remember the feeling of closeness.
I'm delighted to get to meet these very special people in your life. I enjoy all your videos so much. They are so soothing to my soul, as well as being educational. You live in such a beautiful part of the country. I adore your choices of background music, your sweet pets, and I love watching you bake a tasty treat or brew a cup of tea. I'm also of the opinion that one cannot possibly have too many books! Please continue making your wonderful uplifting and relaxing videos. They are an oasis of calm in a chaotic world. Oh, and in case you're interested in the demographics of your followers, I just turned 70 (according to my birth certificate) but feel much younger in my heart and mind, thanks in no small part to you.
Just watching her innocence makes me feel decades younger too. I am in my middle 60s and she reminds me of how I used to react to the world before burdens and heavy personalities entered my life. I believe she reminds us how simple and lovely life can be if we just allowed all this technology to slip away. 🪷🌼🍃. She even makes her own homemade spaghetti noodles in an old-fashioned hand-turned appliance. And then adds embellishments to the noodles.☘️🌸. She is a true treasure of a person.
You and your husband are adorable together. So happy for you :)
🥰 oh! thank you so much
This is just lovely. Definitely see the resemblance in the 3 generations. And Luke is absolutely lovely. You both seem VERY real!
Paola, I am 64 years old and you have also brought a healing to my heart. Your gentle spirit is refreshing, and watching you live out your life in a slower, more gentle pace has helped me. I watched the interview with your Mom and Grandmother and it was very touching. I am thankful that out of the trauma that was a part of her daily life, she brought up children, and influenced her grandchildren, that good can come of everything. Thank you for sharing your life and your family with us.
I've said it plenty of times, but seriously, im so grateful that i found your channel. i won't go into detail for reasons, but i'm not well at all lately. When you upload, i can just come here, and forget many things for the few minutes while i watch the video. sending you love
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm praying for you.
koinuseungie . . . sending positive thoughts and energy your way! 🌹🙏
Sending prayers your way.
🙏🤗😘💐
i got chills when your grandma talked about breaking the cycle (the "patron" i think she called it, i may be wrong i sadly don't speak spanish).
what a powerful creator of a new universe for your lineage. it all starts with a small decision of one person and it leads to things that impact entire generations! if every single one of us decided to break one pattern, not even one remotely as traumatic as that of your abuela's, we would be consciously creating a new generation of humans, more evolved, loving, caring and aware of the power of human unity and connectedness. thank you for sharing this video!
So true...♥
Hola!! Amo tus videos,me producen mucha paz, gracias por permitirme conocer esa parte tan importante de tu vida ,que son las personas que amas,eres Genial cómo persona,un mega abrazo desde Tijuana México!!
I can really relate to it. My grandmom has a lot of psychological deceases, but my momy chose to break that vicious cycle. She bacame a Christian, relying only on God and he really helped her to get rid of old patterns and trauma she had.
very well said, thank you
Thanks so much for this video! 💚 I'm from Spain and, like your grandma, I was severly abused as a kid. I'm now 38 and C-PTSD still affects my daily life in some degree. My parents died almost 3 years ago, at the beginning of the pandemic, from covid, and since then I've been speaking up a bit about my childhood with the hope I can help others a bit.
I think of the kids and teenagers who are, sadly, currently going through the same horror I went through. And then I imagine how much it would have helped me, as a teenager, to hear somone older than me talking about how their future life is totally worth it, in spite of all the pain they went through as kids. And I want to speak up, hoping I can be that person to teenagers who may read what I write.
However, I sometimes wonder whether I'm being a "bad person" for speaking ill of my parents (even though they kind of deserve it) and I have doubts about what I'm doing... But listening to your grandma talking in this video has made me realize it's okay. It's so refreshing to see someone from an older generation speak up unapologetically about what they went through as kids. And it helps me tremendously. I feel better about what I'm doing. Because now I know I can really help younger people.
Thank you so, so much. By the way, your grandma is an amazing, strong, badass woman for breaking the cycle of abuse like that! It is NOT easy. She has my deepest respect.
💚🙏 💚🙏
You are such a lovely young lady. I am hoping you feel more like yourself soon. You are truly a gem! Sending love and happiness your way.
Thank you very much ❤️
Awww! I think we have seen how Paola will look when she gets older. Look just like her mom. The beauty is passed down the generations 😍❤️
Rather like her grandmother Miriam🌸
3 generation Beauty ❤️❤️❤️
@@christined2495 oh yes!
Your Family is so beautiful, I love you abuelita and your Mom, My grandmother was also from PR and I live and grow up in Miami Florida, the city of Spanish culture, great seeing Luke, just discovered your channel and your videos are so beautiful , thank you for bring us this delightful video. xo
Eyyyyyy Fort Lauderdale hereeeee
It’s so sweet that your abuela said being alone makes her happy. Enjoying peaceful solitude runs in the family ❤️
This is beautiful! You, your mother and grandmother are such beautiful, smart inspiring women. You and your husband seem so sweet together! This video will become such a cherished memory for you all. Sending you all love.
Luke has such an adoring, soft expression when he looks at you and it melts my heart ❤
It was so nice to meet your mother and grandmother. They made me smile the whole time I was watching. Made me miss my mother so much. And Luke, don't tell him this but he's a treasure. I am fortunate in having one of those in my life as well. (47 years). May you both be as happy. Thank you Paola. 💕🤗
@Diane C, you wrote the exact words I would have said. My sister was a Diane C for Carpenter, 2 yrs 2 days younger than me. She passed 5 yrs ago. I have been married 47 yrs also. I couldn’t help but notice the similarities. 🙂
I enjoy Paola’s peaceful, calming nature and seeing her with her beautiful mom/grandmother and handsome Luke (my youngest grandsons name) was a real treat! God bless you all!
@@joycecook8876 😊💕
I totally agree with you! My treasure and gift from God, my hubby and I have been married 44 years!
It is so gratifying and heart warming to read about your long term relationships. Thank you for sharing that. Does my heart good. I am single and have been for 95% of my adult life. I am in my mid 60s but I still believe in marriage and love. I have learned to be and am truly content in my singleness but wouldn’t rule out that possibility for me even at this late stage in life. God bless you all!
What a special treat and honor to be invited into your family circle! The laughter you all share is infectious; I felt buoyant throughout. Thank you!
She is really a fairy within, love this little pixie
Nice to finally meet Luke. He's so sweet and you two are sweet together. Thank you so much for sharing and letting us meet your family Poala. I especially appreciated your grandmother's comment about liking to be alone doing stuff in her own apartment. Me too! I am grateful to you for the calm and quiet vlogs you share. They are simply beautiful and I look forward to each one. Please don't worry about changing your videos. They are appreciated just the way they are. They will evolve when they are meant to. 🤗
I resonated with your comment and I too related to her abuela liking to do things in her home. I am the same. This video was lovely wasn’t it?
Beverly & Annie,
I too resonate with liking to be alone doing things in my apartment! I share your gratitude for Paola’s sharing & letting us meet her family! This video was indeed lovely beyond measure & I too hope Paola doesn’t worry about changing her videos. Agreed! They are deeply appreciated ;magical… just the way they are! They are rich Blessing!
~Wish we all lived close to one another & could share 🥮 & ☕️☕️☕️🫖
And yes, they will evolve when/if they are meant to!
Very true, Well said.. What city are you watching from?
How he looks at you aw, you guys are adorable ☺!!🐥🐥
What is very notable in these interviews is everyone is joyful ❤
Thank your grandmother, your mother and Luke for sharing themselves, even for just a little, with us.
I love how big Luke and you make each other smile! I couldn’t stop smiling! Your love is infectious 😍❤️ congratulations newly weds!
So glad I didn't skip this. Absolutely love your abuela and mama. They are so generous and bright. And, Luke.... did you feel like you really knew him oh so long? You resemble each other so much but complete the special look.... complementary... like two peas in the pod. Adorably warm introduction. Thank you!
Your both so cute together and you can see the love you both have for each other. All the happiness in the world
How lovely Paola to meet your Luke, Abuela and your Mum also! I was smiling as I listened to your and Luke’s story about the mountain glacial fed lake. You have a beautiful family! Wishing you and Luke many healthy and happy years together. Warmly, from the Canadian west coast!
¡Amo cuando hablan en español! Todo se siente tan hogareño y cálido ♡
Your aesthetic and calming nature are something I look so forward to, thank you for sharing such a personal video with us 💜🌼🦋
❤ thank you so much, it was so nice meeting your mother, abuela and Luke!
Violet: Very nicely said. 🤗
Lovely to meet Luke, your mom and abuela. They all exude kindness and love. Now I understand even more where you got your beautiful smile from. Thank you for sharing your spontaneous idea with us.
So much love from Turkey to you and to your lovely family Paola ♥️ I’m so happy that your abuela likes something from my homeland and I already love Puerto Rico and its culture, even without seeing it with my eyes, just by knowing beautiful people like you and your family are from. Thank you for creating beautiful content in this platform. We are very lucky to experience your positive and calm energy in our daily lives even from afar♥️
You're an apple that didn't fall far from the tree,
Such a wonderful, brave, and strong line of women to lean on. Loved “meeting” them and Luke! Thanks for opening this bit of your life to us 🥰❤️😘
First let me preface by saying I don’t believe I have ever commented but I have been loving your channel since I first stumbled across it. As a mother and grandmother I can tell you will come to cherish these videos as time passes, especially these introductions to your family, your brother, Luke and of course your mother and grandmother. This digital age is providing you a gift that you will come back to time and again. At my age I wish I could go back to the cherished conversations with my parents and family but make do with old photos and am thankful for the videos and FaceTime chats with my grandchildren. Even if you choose to never share this with your fans again you should continue to make these ‘chat’ videos for your future children and grandchildren. I wish you peace in your heart and soul and a future of love and happiness.
You guys are charming and adorable. Blessings on your path together.
We love you Paola, not just your content... 🥰 I've truly enjoyed this video!
I love finding out about people's lives! Each person is so special.❤
Oh Paola, how lovely! What a treat to have your loved ones introducing themselves. You seem to have a wonderful family and a great support network
I love this!! It was so special to get to “meet” the people who have made you who you are and get a glimpse into your culture. Thank you for sharing your family with us!
Utterly charming! I lost my best friend of fifty years on my eightieth birthday on Sept.18th and I've been grieving and watching my grief, accepting the way it is. It's like this to be alive. Loss. Loss. And, loss. But, I gained so much from her friendship. What a treasure! Thank you for sharing three of your special gems with us. Like your grandma, I had a very traumatic childhood, but my own grandma was the very special jewel through whom the light of love shone and was magnified a million fold. Thank you for all you share.
Betcha no one skipped this,it was so heartfelt and warming. I love you my cottage fairy 🧚🏻♀️
Yay!!!!! What a wonderful midweek surprise!!! 🥰
AGREED!!! WOWWWWW!!!!!!! 💘
Beautiful family! You and your husband are so cute together. God bless you.
Such a beautiful and very personal video. Listening to your grandmother talk about having raised her children differently than how she had been raised was very moving. I also had a very difficult mother who was emotionally and psychologically abusive, rather than physically abusive. I am now aged 63 and I haven't yet recovered, but seeing your mum and grandmother together smiling and laughing was reassuring that perhaps one day I will smile and laugh again.
One day you will sooner than you know!💜🙏
I love you and Luke together. A relationship that keeps you laughing is the best kind. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness ❤️
La abuelita! Soy Colombiana pero crece en Nueva York. I love Puerto Rico too, my dad (who raised me but not biological) was Puerto Rican. The fact your grandma sought to break the cycle of abuse was incredible. Thank you for sharing these three amazing people with us.
Paola, this video melts my heart. Thank you for sharing the people that you love!!!
Enjoyed this so much! I especially love getting to see married couples together. Seeing how spouses interact makes me feel like I know them better than when I only see one of them. :) Thank you for introducing us to your husband. :)
Aww this was such a sweet video, I loved it every minute! Your family and husband seem to be such kind people. I’m so proud of your Abuela for literally breaking a generation cycle of abuse and trying her best to give her family a healthier life than she had! This was really a beautiful video ❤ I’m so glad this channel was on my recommended!
Oh, my goodness; you and Luke are so much alike. The same calm, sweet temperament. Good for you Luke, for not giving up on this wonderful woman. I wish you much happiness. ❤
I loved this, Paola! Spontaneous and sweet, just like you. 🧡Luke is precious and the two of you compliment each other. Your Mom and Abuelo are beautiful and speak from their hearts just like you. Thank you for letting us meet your loved ones. This video was a treasure. 💕
Was looking for something that completely different and all of the sudden the Cottage Fairy popped up. Glad I watched it. The world needs more people like you, guys, loving and caring and kind to each other. God bless you and your family!
this is my FAVORITE video of yours so far, I felt very identified since my grandmother (the person I love the most) also had a very traumatic childhood because of her own mom's mental issues and necessities, growing up in a big family and in a southamerican country 60 years ago was very tough, and in spite of all that, she raised us in a love bubble, she's the sweetest person I know and she actually looks very much like your grandma too haha I loved watching this so much, abuelas are the best!
I see where you got your beauty because your mom and grandmother are beautiful women. I would love to have your mother's hair because as much as I would love to stop dyeing my hair, I'm afraid it will look terrible. Her curls and the gray are stunning. Luke is very sweet and thank goodness he had the patience and perseverance to win your love and attention. May you have a wonderful marriage filled with love.
Wow, how wonderful that you and Luke have each other in this world! You have always seemed so strong and so grounded in your videos, and it's clear that you inherited at least some of this from your mom and abuela. What an amazing family. I really enjoyed this video! 💜
I see where your strength comes from. Your lovely mom and grandmother are such a joy. Also Luke is adorable. What a handsome husband. You both make a wonderful couple. ❤ l love all the laughs and happiness of this video. 💕
The way you and your husband glance and smile at each other tells how much you love each other ♡♡♡
Hola, I’ve been following you. Born in Puerto Rico but lived I’m Massachusetts my entire life. My mother always spoke Spanish to us.I’m grateful to able to speak Spanish. Enjoyed listening to your family’s history
Paola, you and Luke have a great shared dynamic.... You both had me smiling for your part of the video. I can see that much of your strength and independence you have inherited.
Your mom and grandmother are just so beautiful, easy to see where you get your grace and beauty. Thank you for sharing them with us!
Wow! Three generations of gorgeous women, both inside and out. And your husband is a gem. Thank you for sharing all these special people with us, Paola. ❤
Luke is the sweetest!! And funniest! Love you guys...this was beautiful!
It melted my heart to hear and see you girls of three generations laugh together :') ♡
I don't have any grandparents anymore and my mom and sister live far away from me. I admire you for this treasure! Sending all my love ♡
Yes, it was good to see. Brought back nice memories of my own family. I too no longer have my Grandparents. My family, my Mom and Dad, brother and his family, sister and her family all live too far away for us to get to visit much. And now, my Sister and my Mom are no longer living. I miss them a lot.
Your mom and grandma are both so beautiful. Both my grandmothers have passed and hearing your grandma speak reminds me so much of my grandmothers. It warms my heart. Your husband seems so sweet and you are so cute together. Thank you for sharing this video with us. I don’t think anyone skipped it. We adore u too much. ❤
I think what people mean when they say ‘is the cottage fairy real?’ perhaps is referring to the fact that much of the media & everyday life tends to focus on an outgoing, brash, extreme behaviours that are increasingly taken as ‘normal’ for all…by contrast your soft, simple, straightforward/down to Earth, quiet approach may seem ‘unreal’.
It is the main reason why I enjoy your channel, because ‘normal’ life & the unspoken expectations that go with it are so far removed from anything I feel comfortable with. I spent much of my life trying to figure out why I was so abnormal, felt inwardly fake or certain individuals responded in ways I didn’t understand … this is partly because I lacked examples of people like yourself whom I find resonance with, although there are books it’s not quite the same, especially if like me one lacks a family or support network that appreciates difference/uniqueness. This was such a privilege to gain insight into the others in your life.
It’s a strange world where authenticity is considered ‘unreal’, I am so grateful for your sharing, I feel so much more at home in myself, confident trusting my feelings, respecting myself & others uniqueness & evolving in a way that is right for me.
**thank you**…
& I believe in fairies 😊🧚♂️
Thank you for articulating better than I ever could just how precious she is and how her sharing her authentic self is like a soothing balm for souls who have suffered rejection, etc. I’m probably old enough to be her grandma, but I admire her so much that I want to be like her when I grow up. 😉🫶
Yes. All of this.
You are a strong and wise person. Yes, the honest authenticity being so openly shared is rare. It is indeed a gift of spirit to be invited in to Pallas' heart and home.
@@antoinettejohnson6251 ok
I’m so glad to finally meet Luke and find out how you met. You two are so cute together! Your mom and grandmother are lovely and engaging - now I know where you get your beauty and quiet strength.
Very true, Well said.. What city are you watching from?
How adorable! And a pleasant surprise to meet your hubby, and to see that he is every bit as sweet as you are! 💕
This was so wonderful! My best friend Carmen, who passed away suddenly 8 years ago, was Puerto Rican. Her family all lives in PR and she is buried there. I loved her energy, her language, her food, her family. This sweet video was like a visit from her, just what I needed. Thank you so much! 💜
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Oh, the laughter makes me miss my own family so much. My mother passed away 11 years ago, and I miss her so. Even still. I have a new family in my husband of 7 years, and his mother. But, as C.S. Lewis once wrote: “ With my mother’s death, all settled happiness, all that was tranquil and reliable, disappeared from my life. There was to be much fun, many pleasures, many stabs of Joy; but no more of the old security. It was sea and islands now; the great continent had sunk like Atlantis.”
Paula & Paola,
Paula, C.S. Lewis is one of my favorites! Though, this quote is unfamiliar to me. Is it before he accepted Christ? (Curious!)
Also, I could not help but share that I do not regret a single second that I shared with my amazing parents! It is my belief that for me, the grieving will be life~long. As one once said, “Aren’t you over it?” My response was/is that I do not believe we ‘get over’ it. Rather, I believe we learn to live with it. My father to whom I was very close, was a Physician (Pediatrician) & his parting earth holds a sharp lingering sting.
My hope is only to gently & thoughtfully encourage enjoyment of one another… while able!
Oh the JOY! Blessed, powerful treasure!
This was lovely getting to meet the most important people in your life. Thank you so much for sharing
Hopefully we’ll get to see more of Luke? He has a charming, sweet personality that translates well in front of the camera. Maybe there will be projects where both of you would be seen, you play off of each other so well! Thank you for this video.
You two are just so darn cute!! I can relate to your grandmother, I too was raised in a very hard and cruel environment. But, like your grandmother, I chose not to raise my children that way. I raised them with love and hopefully, with confidence so that they could have happy and full filling lives. Thank you for sharing, your beautiful family and wonderful husband with all of us.
Your videos are so peaceful and give us permission to slow down in a society that seemingly looks down on this. I LOVED hearing from your Abuela and mother. Your Abuela is inspiring! Thank you for sharing your loved ones with us:-)
