I embarked on the journey to turn our abandoned land into a green haven, building my own home, living off grid and becoming self-sufficient in terms of food and energy. The goal for these first years was to create a place more in balance with planet earth, to grow my own food and life a more self sufficient life 💛🌱🌸

Sometimes our health & wellness in life is simply doing less & meditating with The Lord on everything we have accomplished. All living beings need rest & relaxation❤

Здравствуйте! Рада за то, что вам продлили льготный период на строительство! Я одна вырастила двоих детей, причём сложности усугублялись моим плохим зрением -8. При таком зрении выбор рода занятий очень ограничен. Пришлось работать там, где мне не нравилось. Я эту работу просто ненавидела, а это стрес на целых 16 лет, плюс постоянные недосыпы. И конечно я заболела онкологией! Прошло уже 9 лет с тех пор. И я очень удивляюсь, как при таком длительном стрессе я осталась жива! Слава Богу у меня теперь есть пенсия и крыша над головой, и я могу больше себя не изнурять! Поэтому что такое жить в постоянном напряжении знаю не по наслышке! Вы молодые! Научитесь правильно распределять свои силы и позволяйте себе иногда отдыхать, чтобы построив дом, жить в нём долго и счастливо! Счастья и здоровья вам! Привет из России!

Rest is vital for all creatures. I planted parsnips and found their flowers taste like broccoli so I put them in a noodle soup for lunch. Delicious! Fresh linens for the bed made all the work I put my body through gardening on my one day off welcoming for a lovely night sleep. I awoke to your video, am bringing lemon poppy seed cupcakes to my coworkers and enjoying homemade cinnamon chips with my morning coffee. I turned many of my garden beds into perennial herbs last year because I started making my own tea blends. Growth is important to - both knowledge and experience. Your videos are beautiful! THANK YOU! ❤

As a Psychologist I tell people the mind rules the body.
The Psych rules our biology, social and environmental actions.
We can make our selves sick, but in the same sense cure our selves also.
Development, personality, thoughts, feelings, emotions, and motivations are controlled by the mind. Practicing healthy habits strenthens the body and soul.
I am glad you are feeling better.
And Lolita too! Hoorah!
We will miss you.
Think happy thoughts.❤

So glad to see your kitty is doing better

[wildpeace]

This is one of my favourite videos of yours. You seem to be in your element, doing what you love with no pressure. Your garden is (and always has been) so beautiful and I can see the decision to take time to rest is already showing on you. From someone who has had chronic health issues for 7 years, take care of yourself. God bless you and thank you for reminding me there is true beauty and grace in the simplicity of daily living. 🤗

I am a serious cat lady and so love your cat with the big cattitude 😂❤

[alysiasmith]

This was such a beautiful and peaceful video. I coincidentally put it on while I was making some ginger tea! Thank you for helping me to start my day with a bit of serenity.

Maybe you'll consider a cooling mat for your dog?

[lisagreenstein]

That was a visually beautiful and motivational video. I really love the linen housecoat that you wear in your garden. Can you please tell me where you bought it?

"Let the beauty of what you love be what you do." I instantly snapped a picture of that quote with the Rose Cake as the backdrop and set it as my phone's wallpaper. Thank you! 💕

I so love your garden, and I can't wait for my own to burst in to life now that summer is almost here.

[PaulinaPaulina-qfsf]

May this month bring you rest and the coming summer abound with love and tenderness for each other ✨♥️

[rikkebadsberg]

Thank you for the message of rest and focusing on slowing down and enjoying the present. I tend to run too fast even doing the things I love.

[dddennis]

Great video, very peaceful. Can you tell me about your glass tea pot? Where did you get it and what’s the brand? Thanks

[dianaschulz]

I am glad to hear that you and Lolita are doing much better. I am also glad that your hard work on your future home is still possible, now that the permit has be extended. It will be so nice when it is done - and such an accomplishment for you both! I admit that I will miss your lovely videos for a few weeks while you take care of other necessary priorities. I will look forward to the return of both your videos and the home building ones as well. Enjoy your time off and reinvigorate your bodies and spirits. Love to you both, and Aspen and Lolita! Bless your dreams...

[adellecapon]
