GRANDMA's WISDOM

Thank you Justine & Michael 💚

'Today things are much more convenient. It gives us more time, but we seem to have less time.' - Beatrice Stroud

Beatrice is 94 years old. She grew up in a very different time, and much has changed since she was a young girl. She has many words of wisdom to share with us.

Who is Green Renaissance? We are a tiny collective of 2 passionate filmmakers (Michael and Justine). We live off-grid and dedicate our time to making films that we hope will inspire and share ideas.

She laughs after every sentence...what a gift shes acquired.

[तारा-बर]

I just saw this. My grandpa also used to laugh like this, even during unfriendly conversations. He lived to cross 90. I now know the meaning of that laugh: everything that we take so seriously matters so little.

I hope when I grow old, I would be as vibrant as this old lady.. I love her lifestyle..simple but full..

[bethelshiloh]

I love how you show respect for older people by featuring so many of them. She’s a doll. Amazing energy for 94.

Being at peace with our own lives. No amount of money or status will bring you that. It's gotta come from inside and practiced. We see it and want this kind of happiness for ourselves. Take some time to accept, cultivate and feed your soul every day.

I love her chuckle. And how she enjoys the birds and insects. Sweet lady.❣️

[Eadwine]

"I got so much to be thankful for, to be happy about!" Really wonderful lines... We ignore that often... To be thankful, to be happy!!!

[madanarathimadangopal]

Just take life as it comes..simple as that...love her laughter!

[blessedsoul]

She's always laughing and smiling with satisfaction. Tat must be the essence of her happy longevity.

Her smile and laugh brought such Joy To Me. I actually had tears flowing at her beautiful words. Life is so short. She reminded me to be more grateful for what I do have. I do respect all the work that you do in making these beautiful videos. I have just found your channel. I look forward to more. I definitely want to donate a amount soon. I am a senior on a very tight fixed-income. At least I own my old shack and live in the mountains alone of East Tennessee. At 71 years old and only one lung I do really well. I hike and work my Gardens on my little farm and share lots of produce with many people in my area that are unable to Garden anymore. And with the political situation in this country now nauseating me every time I turn on a television I choose to not watch television and I take my tent and little dog and camp off-grid in the wilderness of the Cherokee National Forest. Just me, the sounds of the waterfalls, my little dog, and mother nature. I love your work and thank you again so much you guys please be safe and stay healthy.

I love, how you honour every single individual in their circumstances and doing so, show the whole range and richness of human life ...

[amiles]

Oh what a beautiful soul . She laughs with every sentence. I feel her joy as she laughs

[acoba]

You blow me away with the photography, music and the authentic wise lives you share with us. Thank you 🙏

[dellahayden]

Lately I have decided to live a more simple life...I have noticed that when I get anxious I stop, take a few deep breaths, and think about what really am I upset about...usually it's nothing that I need to really worry about...I love how this beautiful lady laughs through out her day..we need to be like her...have a wonderful day today x 🤗
