BEAUTIFUL as you ARE

- When we talk about gestures of love, the most common ones we think of are hugs, kisses, or simply the words, “I love you”. But not everyone expresses love in the same way. And often, cooking a good meal for someone is an important gesture of love.
We cook with our hearts as much as with our hands, because when we cook for other people, it's to make them happy and content. And possibly the greatest payment that you could receive for your efforts is seeing the people at the table, enjoying what you’ve prepared for them.
So the next time you sit at the table, be thankful not only for all that has been prepared for you with time and care, but also for that person who loves you, who thought about you with every stir of the spoon, with every dash of salt, with every teaspoon of oil. We should take a moment to appreciate all that they've done for us. They deserve it. And gratitude is a form of love too!

You can tell a lot about someone who has a kind heart for animals.
Beautiful message, thank you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
She has so many friends, because she's humble, unpretentious and a genuinely caring person.
So kind, thanks so much. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
And Beautiful.
She is an embodiment of an Indian woman and the culture of India. We would feed people even when we don’t have enough on our own plate. I connect so strongly with everything in this video.
That is so wonderful that this story resonated so much with you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Especially loved the part about how people think it’s “just” a cat or dog. They’re so much more and have beautiful individual personalities and souls. Great lady and video
Thank you for pointing out that part that spoke to you so deeply. Yes, our furry friends are so special. they have so much character. Glad we could share this with you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I used to be one of those who said "it's just a dog/cat." However, I had the privilege of fostering a cute little bundle of joy recently...a puppy that had been abandoned. He would argue with me, sulk at me, be stubborn when I told him not to eat paper. Parting with him after 10 days...when he found his forever home...was incredibly painful. That's when I realized how precious they are. I don't think I will ever look at pets the same way again.
@@DivyaJoan Thanks for dropping by DJ!
Another beautiful soul. It's so good to be reminded through your videos how many wonderful people there are in this world who raise the collective energy.
Lovely thought, thank you for sharing. We are so happy that you enjoyed this video, Rozanna. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Having 13 cats doesn't show you're nuts, it shows you've got a heart of gold which is open to the magic of life and the love animals can shower you with! Ruqxana, I wish all your fur babies a long long and healthy life! They've chosen you for a reason - they can tell you are a wonderful person! And I wish you continued success with your cooking classes! If I am going to visit Singapore a second time, I will book one for sure!
Thank you so very much, Justine and Michael, for the lovely cat intro! I love watching it again and again! The whole video is another jewel of your beautiful oevre!
Wow, such a touching message, your words regarding Ruqxana and our filming are so encouraging and beautiful. Thank you for writing to us. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
You're very welcome💚💚💚💚💚💚!
What a beautiful soul this lady has. It shouldn't take much to be kind and offer peace to others. And grief from the loss of your animal is the hardest if all. They love us fully and make us see life as it should be. I lost my dog 2 yrs ago, she was with me for nearly 17 years and everyday with her was a blessing. She was my girl, I miss her every day and I will remember her forever. I understand how hard the loss of your animals are for sure. Thank you for your light ❤
We are so glad we could share this story with you, Kelly. Sorry to read about the loss of your dog, they become such big friends. We fully understand your sadness. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Losing my dog was equal to losing family. She was my best friend.
We understand what you are saying, it is so hard to lose a precious pet. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Being someone who likes to cook, share food and also recently lost my sweet 14 yr old dog, this one really spoke to me. Sometimes when watching your videos, I wish they were longer. This was one of those times. Thank you again for all you do.
Sorry for your loss 💚❤️
Touching and kind comment, nice that her story resonated with you. We are sorry that you lost your furry friend recently, always sad and difficult. Sending you many warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
She's beautiful in every conceivable way, a selfless giver of her heart, and the greatest measure of unconditional love. ❤ Blessed are those who share in her food, her table overflowing with friendship and generosity. And grateful are all the innocent creatures she's loved and been loved in return. Thank you for sharing her light. 💖💖
What a touching message, Diana. So kind-hearted and warm. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Another brilliant film! Thank you to the filmmakers…Namaste to this beautiful lady…❤. ps…it’s never just a cat…or a dog…we love them because they are family. ❤❤❤
Many thanks, Paula. So happy you enjoyed the video and Ruqxana's thoughts about our pets. They always have a special place in our lives. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
This is beautiful. Ruqxana is a lovely lady indeed! I gave my very sick elderly dog an extra hug while watching this. I'm also grateful for the continuing days she chooses to share with me. Great video, thank you!
Lovely message, so glad you enjoyed the video. Nice that your dog was right there to watch it with you and received an extra hug. Enjoy the time together, so special to share the time with them. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
You possess infinite greatness! I had eleven cats, and today I only have six. I'm just like you! Many tears fell, very similar stories. I love cats! 🖤
Wonderful that this video resonated with you, we are so glad. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Animals are family Of course we cry when we lose them We are all interconnected Same energy different form So sad when people do not realize that The unconditional love from animals is priceless We could learn much from them- She is a beautiful lady and lives up to her name - Lovely video
Thank you for sharing this beautiful comment, Lisa. Glad so much of her message spoke to you. Yes, animals have a wonderful way to share love, it's very special. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a beautiful person she is!
This world needs much more people like her!
I identify with her feelings.
My cat Mimicho passed away two weeks ago, and many dogs and cats, too through the years. All of them were a blessing in my life. I remember each one every day and I feel so grateful that they had shared their life with me.
“To transform the world, we must begin with ourselves; and what is important in beginning with ourselves is the intention. The intention must be to understand ourselves and not to leave it to others to transform themselves. It is important to understand that this is our responsibility, yours and mine...”
- J. Krishnamurti
Thank you for sharing this beautiful comment, Monica. And we send you warm hugs, may you find comfort after the passing of your cat. It always leaves such a hole when they pass on. Justine and Michael. 💚
"Peace is with you" what a deep meaning ❤
Yes, they are beautiful words, so inspirational. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a wonderful thought for humanity - that all people should have food, shelter, no illness and that there would be no war. Would that not be heaven on earth? Ruqxana's love and compassion shines through like a bright light, and if she isn't worthy of a name that means "beautiful," then who is? Wishing her and all her cats much peace!
Touching words, such a joy to read. Thank you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
💚💚💚
This lady is the epitome of beautiful soul. Even listening to her is peaceful & compassionate! How blessed I feel to just “meet” her for this video. Thank you for another wonderful experience. ❤😊
@@ReflectionsofLife 🙏❤🙏
She truly embodies a fullfiled life. Wishing her endless peace❤❤
Such kind words, thank you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a beautiful soul you are Ruqxana. Your cats are lucky to have you. If only everyone in the world could have your outlook on life
Wow, such kind and touching words, Anne. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
We need more people like her in this world.
We can only be the change we want to see. J. Krishnamurti: You are the world.
Beautiful, thank you. May we be inspired by her message. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Too funny! When I was a young girl I had at one time 13 cats! My mom and dad were beside themselves! One day coming home from visiting Aunt Kitty and Uncle Sparky, we were at the stop sign at the corner of our Avenue, and this kid David was crossing at the intersection and was coaxing a bunch of my cats to follow him home! I yelled out the window and asked, David what are you doing with all those cats!? He said, I don't know, I thought I'd just bring some of them home with me to my house because there were 1000's of them, just 1000's of them down there! 🤣🤣 I yelled at David, hey those are MY CATS!!! This brought back some really funny and great memories of my childhood. I've always had animals I live on a small horse farm and I have 5 barn cats, 2 big barn dogs, and one little house dog Rico! I have two old horses Cinco 31, and Chief 21! I've had them all since they were born! I love to cook too and enjoy serving my specialties to my 5 children and their spouses. I'm Italian and we love to eat! Great video, she is a kindred spirit! Love the VW beetle too, and her lights, I have the same lights and ambience in my back yard and barn too!

YOU. ARE. SO. VERY. BEAUTIFUL.
In more ways than one ‼️
Truly.
Your face ~ your smile ~ your open heart ~ your open home ~ your ❤ kitties 💙 ~ your car ~ your pottery ~ your words ~ your EACH & EVERY THING IS BEAUTIFUL.
Carry on just the way you are. We all need examples like you.
To just be and live in the moment.
Green Renaissance - your stories and visuals are just breathtaking.
They touch the depths of my soul, as they do for many others.
A MILLION THANK YOU'S
Your words touch and encourage us Shibu, thank you so much. We hope to share many more videos with you that help and inspire you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
[PS Her name is spelt 'Ruqxana', you find the info in the write up below the video].
This really resonated with me being a crazy cat lady too... I feel their passing so severly.. It takes me a long time to recover.... What a beautiful lady
Thank you for yuor kind words. So glad her message resonated with you, Tess. Yes, our animals creep into our hearts and leave a blank spot when they cross over. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a beautiful person, inside and out! I totally agree her views about animals! My pets have always been my family. I love this video so much! Thank you❤
You are welcome, so happy that you enjoyed it so much. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
It’s your beautiful soul; the good food is secondary❤️
Touching words, thank you for sharing. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I like her a lot, the woman with the name that means "beautiful," which she certainly is. She seems a kindred spirit with me because I totally understand that the animals all have their own personalities. She has the right attitude there. Big hug to Beautiful. Her struggle with her name is one I understand. My name means "light" or "bright one." I am working on that radical self-acceptance right now. "I must accept that part that failed?" "Yes," says The Light, The One. Keep up the good work, GR team. 💜💜💜💜💜
We are so happy this video resonated with you, Ellen - having a similar struggle yourself. May her words inspire and help you to reach that self-acceptance. Thank you for your encouraging words regarding our work, it means a lot to us. And it's great to have you with us on our journey. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
The name suits you, you‘re a beautiful soul! And I don’t think 13 cats are crazy if they’re cared for properly and have great living conditions. I love animals. I understand very well how hard it is to lose a pet. Thank you for sharing!
It's a pleasure. Glad you enjoyed this story. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Great lady and a great video! Her cats must be so blessed to lived with such a wonderful human being!
Lovely and kind words, thank you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

Thanks for watching, Emma! Glad you enjoyed the message she shared. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Well, here is a soul kindred to mine. I had a restaurant and it was my greatest pleasure was to cook for people and seeing them enjoying it and laughing and creating an atmosphere of such communion of soul and body that vibrate with LOVE! I recommend the movie Babettes Feast, I watch it several times a year to inspire me again and again. Cooking for people and eating together is spiritual and its communion. LOVE and the greatest of them all is LOVE
Wow, this is so amazing. We can imagine that this story resonated with you. Stay inspired, enjoy cooking and sharing the food with others. And thank you for the movie info. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
