INSPIRING YOUNG WOMAN - Living a SLOW SIMPLE LIFE in the COUNTRY

Thank you Justine & Michael 💚

We've all been there… "If I just move, get a new job, find new friends… then my life will be perfect.”

While these changes may give you a fresh start, before too long, if you haven't dealt with the issues that made you unhappy in the first place, they will eventually rear their ugly heads again. Sadly, you can't escape them. Because, wherever you go, there you are. It is impossible to escape yourself.

Problems are meant to be solved, and if you have the courage to face them directly, then you’ll realise this life-changing truth: “You can’t run away from your problems. They will just chase you and get bigger and bigger. If you stand and face them, they will shrivel and disappear.” - W.H. Fordham

Filmed in Suurbraak, South Africa.

Took me almost all of my life (now in my 60's) to find my heart space. The place that always was calling me but I was too blind to see. So awesome shes found hers early. Such a blessing.

[kengardens]

I’ve always felt like I was abnormal for picturing the way this lady is living as a happy life... especially in our society. And I’m so happy that she’s young and didn’t wait til’ she’s old and grey to slow down. This inspires me to build the life I WANT to live, not the life I’m taught to aspire to. Thank you for this❤️

[nanabninnab]

Oh to see and hear such a young soul, with the perspective of her old soul is just a delight 😉 Be blessed as you continue to enjoy this life on this place we call Earth!!!

How wise and beautiful she is! The moment she is making bread is so wonderfully captured I watched it 5 times! Thank you for sharing. The close ups of flowers and sweet gentle details is just stunning!

A simple uncluttered life is so much more peaceful than a huge house with CCTV everywhere, alarms, high fencing and a constant state of paranoia .. J and M ~ another sterling job ~ God bless 🇿🇦🇦🇺

[gabriellewilliams]

She has such a beautiful, calming voice. Her perspective on life is so wise. A young face with an old soul. I myself have not written out any 5 or 10 yr plans in a while. I've accomplished a lot, now I just want to enjoy the journey of my life.

"Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu" means, may all beings, everywhere, be happy. Very simple, very meaningful Sanskrit mantra.

[tikifhe]

i need sarah to read a bunch of audiobooks - she has an incredibly pleasant voice to listen to. so soothing!

[TheHappyblacky]

Yes you’re worthy of being in this world and there’s no judging for when the trees naked. It’s just part of the cycle. I felt every single word. Thank you thank you ❤️

[daphnee]

This channel always give me the reassurance that life is beautiful and we just have to pause and appreciate it!!

[susank]

I love how she has such reverence for the emotinal process of self acceptance. Thank you for sharing her kind and gentle spirit with us.

[rafanofear]

"There is no judging for when the tree is naked without leaves" Such a beautiful quote, judgment only clouds our true being, and our true being is not made of beauty and perfection, its made of acceptance and freedom

[juliepayn]

To be young and have the insight of an older person's wisdom is wonderful to hear and know there are possibilities are there for all young or old. Wonderfully done.

[shellycoltrin]

What an exquisitely and deeply beautiful woman 💫

[utkarshachetiwal]

Life is uncertain and this woman is living it gracefully. May she always be happy. 🙏🏾💙💚

[badjimmy]

A beautiful person. Her words are so eloquent and I could relate deeply with her. Her talents are many. I loved her, I loved her soul. I love Green Rennaisance. Thank you again for unwrapping another treasure and helping us see that there is beauty in this world.

"Because it's peaceful, we're gonna bring up all the stuff we didn't want to deal with..." Lovely, smart young woman. Her softness melds so well with her inner strength and with her ability to articulate her thoughts. Wish I had known at her age what she knows. Happiness to her and your partner and their animal companions in that idyllic space. (How DO you continue to find the perfect music for each of the videos you make? It's astonishing. Oh, and please pass on love to this young woman from this older one in Canada.)

[semqueixas]

So beautiful and tender. It's a pleasure to know that on this world there are people living life so interesting and loving.

[henrygreen]

If only I had one friend like her, what a blessing that would be !! Just to sometimes see my world through her eyes .. .. ..

[RS-qxbx]

It's funny some people are considering people who live in simplicity as "hippies". For me she and her partner live in the most beautiful life and her soul is rich of wisdom. I dream of having that feeling peaceful, content, and feeling having "enough".
