Hi Friends! Living an intentional life has shaped every respect of my world. Living a minimalist lifestyle for over 14 years and raising a family in a minimalist home impacted our family. I learned how to be frugal and have gratitude for the simple things in life. Mindful living helps me to simplify my life and live slowly. My simple life allows me the freedom to live the life of my dreams. I hope that my life learned lessons of minimalism, simple living, and living intentionally will guide you on how to simplify your life.
Ive been doing my own for many years. Now that I am drastically thinning its way harder because I have to shop n bid on decent quality extensions that were bought n discarded by wealthier women then I have to dye my hair to match the extensions.
The more I watch your videos the more I am just in awe of your natural beauty. I have always found a healthy vibrant mature woman the most attractive. Your husband is a lucky man and I wish you both all the best in life.
My wife and I have gone down a similar financial path you guys have. I retire in 2 months. We’re selling everything, including our house and moving on to our boat full time where we seem to be our happiest. I can not wait for this next chapter!
Hi Connie: Your meals look scrumptious and tasty. I mainly eat fish (sardines, salmon, tuna, etc.), chicken, and turkey. I very rarely have pork or red meat. I also eat lots of veggies and fruit, legumes, grains, etc. I I don't do intermittent fasting for as long as you do, although I did many years ago when I was in college. I fast between dinner and breakfast (12 to 13 hours, sometimes more). I still work 36 hours/week at 70 years of age, so I need the fuel before I go to work or else I'm distracted by hunger and not as sharp. It works for me.
My Mom used to say “ IF YOU CAN LIVE A SIMPLE LIFE…YOU ARE A RICH PERSON “ ..she is gone now this widowed at 24 yrs old single fiercely independent Italian speaking immigrant mother of three small children in Canada in 1959…… she never ever dated or went with another man because she said what your dad gave me in 7 years no man will give in a lifetime…a real resilient woman she was. Connie you are resilient like her. Grazie Milli Cara
That must have been fun and challenging to grow up in a larger family. I enjoyed learning about it. I intermittent fast as well. I feel best that way. I enjoyed learning what you do for your health and how you eat. Well done. I haven't had pork in 17 years. I am a vegetarian but realized that I have always been lean when I eat chicken and fish. I am thinking about going back to eating fish again and maybe chicken here and there. . .but it is hard. I went nearly a decade of not eating chicken or beef. I love eggs especially as a first meal. I loved your recipes you made here. Thank you again.
I cut my own hair now too!!! I have gone to almost every hairdresser in my town and to be honest, I feel that after a few months, my haircut changes even though it’s supposed to be the same style… I have spent so much money trying to keep my hair healthy, and I decided that it’s just not worth the effort to go to the hairdresser and get the same result… I don’t care about what people say about my hairstyle. In fact it’s not their hair so, who cares… only me lol 😂🌻☺️🙏
Hi Connie, I love your videos, they are so heartfelt, inspiring and beautifully made! I love the sceneries you show. May I ask which camera you use? Thank you for your time :)
I've been doing my hair by myself for a year and a half. And I'm still learning but very satisfied!😅 Thanks for sharing your thoughts with the rest of the world! Specially with the ones that are tired of paying money for not getting the haircut that we are really looking for. 😅
I'm glad you found what our Lord has for each one of us. HE fulfills our minds and our hearts with infinite love and peace. It doesn't matter if you believe in his presence as real as you and me. ❤
I've struggled with my health over the past ten years. Eating like you do takes dedication for someone who didn't grow up eating as wholesome as you did. But, you show a way of eating that I could aspire to. Maybe I can make small gradual changes over the next five years to get used to a much healthier diet. I can't make a lot of changes so quickly, so if I do, I eventually fall off the wagon. This lady adores her chocolate and pizza! 🙄
We all wish can just run away, but we some of us have children and our children need stability they have friends and things to do on there own it just not good to think like that😑
I enjoy your videos, sense of style, and way of living. I, too, practice intermittent fasting but only fast 12-14 hours per the advice of my Naturopathic doctor. (He says women should not fast past this allotted time.) Each person needs to find their own “sweet spot” when fasting as it can have an adverse effect for some.
I started IF in 2021 too. I lost 25 lbs but it took a year (16/8). I’ve kept it off on my WFPB diet. I break my fast at 7am with coffee and oatmilk. I love your philosophy on how and why you eat the way you do. ❣️
I do the intermittent fasting too. I had to build up to the 16 hour fast as well. My husband and I are in our 70's and eat dinner really early and its the lightest meal of the day. I feel better having several hours between dinner and bedtime. We do occasionally splurge and go out to dinner with family or friends, but love the simple lighter meals. I still use your bread recipe. Its easy and my favorite. I do make sourdough in between.
I ate a wfpb diet for 5 years and lost a ton of weight....blood work was "perfect". Since I have incorporated dairy, poultry and sugar (no red meat) back into my diet and of course gained some weight back. I intermittent fast for about 15 - 16 hours and but drink black coffee with collagen (not sure if the collagen counts as a fast breaker). I love your healthy lifestyle and know I need to do better. Hoping for some motivation. Enjoying your channel :)
I've always thought this. Our bodies know what they need and they tell us. After a wrongly-prescribed medicine in 2017, my health and body went downhill. I haven't been able to recover from it (due to many reasons). I need Life to give me a break, let me have some peaceful months/years so I can focus on pulling myself out of the coffin.
Thank you for this great message God has been so faithful to me I exalt his name now and everyday of my life.❤️☦️🙏Awesome God ❤️my family are happy once again and can now afford anything for my family even with my Retirement.$67k weekly returns has been life changing, after so much struggles.
All of Your Many Wise Choices that You have Shared over the Years have Truly Blessed us in each our own Corner of the World. Oh What a Difference You Make !😊
