"True freedom is when you are able to walk away from things because you don't want them" 💚💚 So true!

It makes me sad to hear people make such insensitive comments. I love your smooth flawless skin. You look like a beautiful porcelain doll with your gorgeous hair, skin and, eyes, a perfect combination! What’s more important is that you are smart, well spoken and very wise. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences enlightening everyone and making the world a better place.

[joanmcmanus]

You are one of the most genuinely nice people on youtube.

[cindyOkieGirl]

Oh my gosh. Just as you were talking about someone saying you are too pale, I was thinking how BEAUTIFUL your skin is!! People can be so rude. In a few more years you will be so glad you kept your lovely fair skin healthy and protected because you will not have wrinkles or skin damage.

[antiquesrestoration]

Your peaches-and-cream complexion is to die for and I can bet the person who made the negative comment wishes their complexion was as gorgeous as yours is. Happy birthday to you!

[PaulaTwyman-wm]

They must be jealous of your beautiful clear skin!

[julielee]

You might be a " light bulb " but not for the reasons implied by the mentioned comment.You shed light on so many issues that need to be looked at differently.Thank you for a great post and keep on shining ❤

“Stuff is just stuff”! Absolutely true, it’s amazing how we attach our sense of safety to “stuff”, I’m still working on this at 62!! I feel being older has made me feel a bit more vulnerable because I have some life issues not really sorted but I’m working on it, trying to be gentle with myself and not feel a “failure”❤ thank you

[Szynszula]

I am jobless for few months (trying to change career path), it gave me a lot of time to observe my reactions, emotions, helped me understood myself. I am feeling so much more life wisdom. Thank you for tackling changing career topic I needed it.

Hi Vera, I have been a minimalist most of my life in a physical sense, I never bought too many things, I never liked clutter, I like everything in its place. I am not very good with taking care of my health, which I have been focusing on for the last few years now, I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer (not to worry I found it early, but it’s stage one and I will be getting surgery this coming week for a lumpectomy) I am a very positive person and the outlook is a 10%. I have seven sisters and my mom and no one has breast cancer so I was pretty confused when I asked the oncologist. How did I get this he said many people get cancer due to stress and busy lives especially here in the United States, I have been working on a better diet, but I need to work on sleep And exercise, so always room for improvement, I just want you to know that your videos are something I look forward to because it is a constant in my life. It brings me peace, and I tend to slow down when I think about your videos throughout the week. 😙 I am actually working on time management also so I don’t feel anxious all the time about the things I need to get done because when I become overwhelmed, I don’t do anything. 🙄 Slowly but surely my life is becoming less stressful and I have to say that you are one of the reasons for that so thank you for all your videos and this channel and of course also your Patreon channel!!! 🌻….have a wonderful weekend Vera! ☀️

You honestly have such a lovely way in the way you explain topics, there is never any negativity towards things even if it's not something that's right for you. So happy I found your channel ☺️

Minimalism and slow living have helped me to know about my real needs and wants. Have helped me to slow down, even if i have a lot still to do and learn.

[lihimizrahi]

I felt pain in my heart when you said you were bullied. I wish I was there to protect you or make you smile. I hope you know you are a wonderful human being

[jessicamarie]

Your skin is gorgeous and I am glad that you own it! I used to hide my legs because they were pale with freckles or I would try self tanner which I hated because of the smell! It took me until my 40’s to finally accept myself because it’s who I am. It’s a lot less stress!

[Mar-ME-sh]

I’ve always admired your beautiful complexion. Can’t believe someone said something to the contrary. You are a natural beauty (intelligent & compassionate, as well). PS: Your unscripted video sounds just as smooth & insightful as your scripted ones 🌸.

[monocat]

I recognised myself so much when you talked about hurrying... I still tend to try to get things done as fast as I can and when I catch myself doing it I always ask myself in a funny way "Why are you hurrying?! Do you have an urgent appointment or what's the rush?!" 😅😂 It helps me slowing down and allowing myself to find my own pace.

[susannegiesen]

I think I will never understand how people can be influenced by ads. Don't they know that ads are only used für making money??Or by things they see in social Media. I never fehlt that way, and all of my friends are the same. I feel sorry for people who compare themselves to others and their belongings. Everybody is unique!!👍

I use to have high paying job . Made me very stressed because of hostile environment. Years of stress took a toll on my health. I became ill . Had to stop working for 2 years. Now I am all better, I don’t have high paying job . I don’t spend as much money on non sense. I just finally able to slow down and enjoy simple things in life.

A tan? Really? You’re lovely! Trust me, I grew up in Florida and have battled skin cancer for decades….you’re fine as you are!!! Anyway, you know, sometimes it’s good to go-with-the-flow…be a tree in the forest. That’s sorta me. However, I’m a different tree and I have my own corner of the forest. The minimalist approach frees you to be yourself and not worry about other’s opinions. Final thought….embrace Wabi-Sabi! Great video! 😊

Cheers to Vera for being yourself and for staying classy in the face of inexcusable comments. You're an inspiration!! (At my son's baseball game last summer, a teammate's grandfather told me I was too pale. It shocked me that he thought he could say something about my skin. I'm an HSP so I absorbed it at first, but I've been doing my own inner work and have let it go with a similar "it has nothing to do with me" attitude).
