I really appreciate the way you take your message one step farther & inspire us to not only shift our mindset to gratitude for what we have but also action toward helping others.

The young girl in blue crying while entering the house, you could feel the appreciation. ❤️

“Travel is fatal to prejuidce, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” - Mark Twain. Dawn this is the best gift you an give your children. Thank you for posting

When my daughter was in high school she went on a mission trip with her youth group. They rebuilt a women's shelter that had burned down. She was so moved by it she organized a linen drive. She collected bedding and towels to send down for the shelter.

As someone who lives in San Diego, I really appreciate your positive review of Tijuana because it’s such an amazing place with great people. Hope it opens a few eyes to the culture and beauty of Baja California.

Also, I love your videos. Thank you for all you do. 💕

We’re going through major life changes, needed changes. Our goal is to downsize our home and possessions by 1/2. My husband wants take a less demanding and stressful job which means less pay but better quality of life. We are able to do this but it’s scary and exciting. We’ve been taught to work until you’re dead and over consume. We’re gonna teach our kids differently.

The BEST video on minimalism ever. We Americans can't see the forest for the trees.

I’m so proud of how you’ve facilitated all the help for those down at Dorothy’s House. Please feel free to be as emotional as you want to be! God bless you, your family and your work!

When you go from living with a hoarder to having a “normal” amount of stuff with lots of empty space, it’s life changing and so encouraging. It’s taking a while to get used to it but I’m making a point to dance in the empty spaces. I couldn’t believe how blind I was to what was in my sentimental box and that some stuff made me anxious and some stuff was just kept because it was from the 80s. I kept even less stuff and there were no regrets.

I volenteer in a different way. I have rheumatic artritis and I teach medical students to recognize the early symptoms. So patients get diagnosed and treated more quickly with a better outcome.
I gained a wonderfull community of fellow patients/ teachers and love the interaction with the students, who appriciate our lesson so much.
Voluntering, community and giving to others comes in so many shapes and sizes.

We have tons of opportunities to do these same volunteer projects here in the USA if people don't want to travel. At the least help elderly widows in a 5 mile radius of your own home.

I lived out of two duffel bags on a ship for four months. When I got back, I was so overwhelmed by all of my stuff that I had proven I didn’t need. I got rid of most of it, and now am so much more intentional about what I bring into my house! It’s worth the thought upfront to save the money, time, and mental space of buying and maintaining things that don’t add value to your life.

I appreciate hot water 24/7 deeply. I mean DEEPLY APPRECIATE!!

As someone who lives in a border state, I so appreciate you shedding light on the reality of the wonderful people south of us. They are humans, just like us and should be treated with respect, like our own neighbors.

Our teen is getting ready to go with Teen missions international to a foreign country and we’re so proud. She has obstacles to overcome while on the trip and are praying she will let Jesus shine through her. This organization is amazing.

Straight out of Proverbs! Lord, give me enough but not so much that I forget who YOU are!

I volunteer with an organization called Icing Smiles. We provide celebration cakes for critically ill children and their siblings. I’ve been decorating cakes for 45 years and I get the most joy making these cakes. It has helped me increase my happiness and reduce my depression. I’ve also begun volunteering as a foster for herding dogs. Herding dogs are often purchased or adopted by people or families that don’t understand the unique needs of these animals. If provided with the proper physical and mental stimulation along with behavioral training they can be wonderful pets. But many are turned into shelters because their owners didn’t know what they were getting into and didn’t want the responsibility. So these dogs are often euthanized because they aren’t easy. So I train and take care of some while they wait for their furever family.

The smile on the husband's face when he unlocked the door and went in his house (15:19) says it all!!! (Thanks for getting my eyes all watery....). How else can we help?

What a refreshing video - thank you! Re: 15-24 year olds in the US - so sad. My girls (now 33 and 31) spent all 4 of their high school spring break trips doing Hurricane Katrina clean up with their church youth group (very counter-cultural at the time.) It was life changing for them and they continue to volunteer as they can (now that they have kids!) Volunteering is so life giving, humbling, and heartwarming. I can’t agree with you more.
