I drive people around for a living. Often my passengers are elderly or people going to medical appointments. I keep a quiet atmosphere, in case people want to share their stories. It's almost as if people are hungering for a chance to open up. To feel heard, and understood, and empathized with.

I have recently left my home of 17 years, and moved to an old little cottage in a small town near by. I have started a small farm with three lambs, chickens and 2 roosters ducks, cats and dogs. I am raising the lambs to be foundation ewes in an effort to help bring the Valais Blacknose sheep here and become established. I am learning to spin wool on a drop spindle and a spinning wheel. This specific breed I am working towards have great wool for carpets, rugs and wool insulation for homes and buildings. I also write children’s books, and in the last 2 years have published the first four books in my Grammy Tales series. I am currently writing my first novel. I am doing my best each day to bring peace to my own soul, heal from my past, and share my life with others through social media. I also make gnomes and sell them during the fall and winter holidays. I am an herbalist and encapsulate many formulas as well as create delicious herbs teas to sell and share with others. I am doing my best to help bring calm into the world around me and those with whom I come upon during my daily travels...

Being nice to people even if we feel down, or sad or disappointed. Thats the true measure of how strong our spirit can be. Strength is not portrayed in lashing out on people or taking revenge.. Strength is measured by being kind , loving and helpful even when you are going through the darkest time of your life. Love and peace all the way from Bahrain.

I have chronic insomnia, and I have trouble falling asleep almost every night. I only recently found your channel, but the combination of your soothing voice and the calm scenery has helped me so much on bad nights! Thank you so much, no ways of winding down or relaxing have every really helped before because I can never seem to quiet down my mind. But watching the way you live and imaging I'm on that farm with you really relaxes a part of me that I didn't even know was wound up. I'm always so cranky all the time because I can barely sleep and I really wanted to thank you so much for letting me sleep!! I hope your channel prospers.

Today I went for a walk around a nearby lake. I was feeling anxious and stuck on past hurt. It was windy as I walked, I began paying close attention to the trees swaying and the brilliant colors of the autumn leaves all around me. Stopping for a break, I rested my hand on a big old maple tree, paying close attention to the bark texture and the sounds of rustling leaves. This helped me ground and focus on the present, relieving my anxiety. Nature is so amazing, sometimes we just need to stop, look, listen and feel.

Once I know what's needed, the rest is just over talking that just gives me anxiety, stress, delusion and leaves me empty. Prefer to choose when to turn on tv/radio and what to see, rather than having them on all day and passively take whatever they show/play.

Too often we let ourselves get caught up in the busy-ness of business and people become “interruptions” in our tasks. Thank you for reminding us to slow down and breathe. 💗

You're living a life that I have wanted for the last several years. I grew up living a simple life in the Appalachian mountian area. I left home, got a career, a family, and now work a minimum of 48 hours a week at a job that's unfulfilling with very little time for me to work on my art, sculpting, and writing that I enjoyed in my youth. I'm not even close to retiring, but I wish for more time for myself, doing things that make me feel happy inside. I don't want this debt filled existence any more, but I created it because I wanted material things. Now I just want to feel free. A life lesson learned for me. Thank you for the videos you make.

Hi Liza I think we all go through the married, kids, work, house, possessions etc road in life. We get bogged down working for what we think we must have but what we cant afford to keep because????? Who knows, we all have our reasons. But life is what you make of it. When you look around you, you will see people of all ages dying young, being depressed, getting divorced because we end up wanting different things in life maybe. Material possessions mean naught at the end of the day especially if you arent enjoying them. Its a vicious circle, you want more so you have to work more but then you dont get to enjoy it because you have more debts etc.... If you are able to live simply, try to find a job you might like. Baby steps!!!! I have done nursing, child care, office work etc etc but my favourite job which didnt pay much was tying up vines in a vinyard..music on my headphones ( I didnt do fancy ipod stuff), in my wet weather gear with eagles souring above me..cant get better than that. Now Im on a disability pension and have never been happier, although I have Crohns, Fibromyalgia, Lupus and get DVT's and the odd pulmonary embolism...my life is filled with art and whatever I can manage in my days. I am 68 have been married twice have 2 gorgeous kids married and living happily elsewhere (lost my 1st), 4 adorable growing up too fast grandies and we have just sold our house (whenever we've had a house we struggled with debt and worked at jobs we hated) and so now we rent. We have money in the bank for the first time ever, if something breaks down we call the agent to fix it and we dont have to foot the bill!!!🤗🤗🤗🤭🤭..we live in a pretty little town full of friendly people instead of owning a house in a place we can afford but dont like. I have personally never seen a downside to renting, (I guess) if you dont like the environment or neighbours you can move, although that is getting more difficult now rentals are harder to come by, but we are in Western Australia. But it took me a while to convince my new ex city boy hubby (now of 17 years) that owning a roof over your head is not the be all and end all in life, nor having fancy cars and lots of clothes, makeup, jewellery big TV, latest phones etc etc all of these things will keep you poor, which all make for arguements and a miserable life. The goal "which people tell us we must have of making big $$$ before retiring is a myth."..whatever you are aiming for is unattainable, because the goal posts keep moving, you just have to consider your options and go for what you want while you are able to do so because life throws up some mega hurdles sometimes!!!...Sell off what you can, when you can, find a simple but nice place to live buy (if thats your thing) or rent. Do a little art every day even if its doodling in a journal. Set small goals that dont equate to money and move forward as you can. If you have family support or a spouse who agrees with your way forward then go for it. I wish you luck. If you follow this delightful young lady she speaks from the heart and makes sense. Yes she has another life but what she does here is well worth watching and following. Another lady I follow is the 'Unexpected Gypsy' she has done and is doing what I am talking to you about, what I am now doing too. Its not all milk and honey, life rarely is but it can be good mo mater how muchmoney we have in the bank or where we live. Good luck. You can tell me this is all nonsence or I am happy to chat.

I live in the suburbs, have worked my whole life and I'm on the verge of retirement. I didn't want to retire so early but with the pandemic and being among people making my life stressful I just decided to make that jump. Now I am faced with time on my hands and SO many things I've put on that "back burner" for so long. Art, baking, clearing and cleaning and enjoying the sky, the sun and the seasons. Happiness is in the little things and my bucket list is full of them!! Thanks for the inspiration........

My greatest joy is trying to be the best mum I can to my beautiful 14 year old daughter.. I love being attentive, thoughtful and helpful. I love learning about what makes her tick as she's discovering herself at this sensitive age. Parenting is the perfect opportunity to practice mindfulness, patience and letting go. Children hold a mirror for you to see yourself more clearly ♡♡♡

My husband and I live in a small town in rural Australia. We moved here to get away from the cities and noise 14 years ago. But until I started watching your videos a few days ago I had completely forgotten why we moved here in the first place. Your calming and back to nature attitude has inspired me again and reminded me why we came here. I love the stillness you beam out with your videos and I love the way you touch nature. I enjoy watching the peace and tranquility with which you prepare your plants. You have inspired me and indeed shown me how to live in the moment. Thank you and bless you for what you have given us.

Hi Paula, I am 76 years next month. I volunteer at a food pantry in my home town once a week. I’m the person that gets to hand them the bags of food. A lot of our clients are really struggling during these hard times that we are experiencing. So it gives me such great joy when I say something that makes them smile or better yet laugh. I start my day watching your videos because it always puts me in a good place. Then I spend my day in my small gardens. Well most of my day😂, because at 76 I do need to take breaks and rest so I can keep on going🥴. I also want to say that I think you are the BEST. I’m sending you blessings ❤

I recently found your channel and I love the calmness that comes across. I initially watched your video on making tea. I've recently started keeping fifty dollars in my car in $10's to give to homeless people. Turns out that act of kindness is more for me as it refreshes the notion of my blessings. I'm not sure what I expected. I just followed the voice in my head one day while I was taking my daily walk. I've learned over the years to not question how I'm inspired, but to enjoy the journey. I've discovered how to tell when I've actually helped someone because they express such thankfulness, while others simply take the money. That actually inspires me even more to find those who are truly thankful. Feels like I'm rambling on now, so I guess that's an indication to stop for now. Thank you

Do you travel far for work? Do you work in a city? Many times we think of high ideals while building our lives, but it is in the small daily details and moment to moment choices that are days go by, and it can be a challenge to be mindful, and nurture our soul. I am passionate about how to be able to live with soul in our modern day lives, without necessarily being always able to get away from it, as most of us cannot....thank you 🌷

As a legal assistant working in pro bono Senior Law with the some of the most vulnerable people in my community, I keep in mind that each time I make a phone call, due to the pandemic, I may be the only human voice they hear that day. Even if the purpose of the call is to get a simple DOB or the like, I stay on the line to hear the elders' stories and feelings about their day. I try to listen with genuine respect and kindness. It can mean an extra half hour on the line, but their blessings at the end of the call keep me full. Despite being of Latinx Catholic background, I have never been so thoroughly "blessed" as I am these days.

I’m moving to northern Ontario soon where I can be my best self. I will raise honey bees, plant a small orchard and grow lots of vegetables and beautiful flowers and have a medicinal garden. I am so looking forward to seeing your winter videos. Thanks for the gorgeous content. Peace and love. 🤣💕

You are so refreshing in many ways. My take of spreading Kindness is: It can be painful doing so. I live in a little town in Texas ( i am from Germany), and with all the kindness and love i shared with others, I got more negative energy back than kindness. I am afraid that most of the world is far away of accepting and sharing kindness. That is why you make me happy all the time watching your videos, seeing the peace you carry inside your soul.

My way of spreading kindness. I don't have a lot to give. Not physical or material things, at least. But I always make sure not to hold back a compliment or a thank you if I feel one coming up. "that's really good idea" "I appreciate what you did there", etc. It's a little nothing, but I know how *I* feel when someone says nice things to me and I want everyone to feel that way as much as possible.

How I spread kindness: if when out food shopping or walking my dog I smile at others. If they talk to me I give them my full attention and listen. Some neighbors seek my advice and I do so with their best interest in mind. I pick up trash, feed feral cats in my neighborhood every day and get them fixed. Always blessings. I am human and have my grumbly moments but work hard to turn it around. Share dessert with my neighbors if I make a pie I bake two and give one away. Show my gratitude to others for their kindness to me. Thank you for asking! Everyones mantra is “ I am amazing!”

Happy Wednesday Cottage Fairy! Thank you for another delightful short story. In your previous videos you have mentioned a desire of learning a new skills and I was wondering if you had ever thought of basket making? Just outside of your cottage door there is a willow tree which offers an abundances of material needed to weave your own baskets. The wonderful thing about willows trees is that they are instable growers similar to one’s head of hair. One may have several inches of hair cut off and in a short time it has grown back. You could easily harvest four and five foot long strands of the willow branch tips and by next season the tree will have easily replaced what was cut off.

@@TheCottageFairy basket weaving is quite similar regardless of the material used. I adore your foraging basket it looks amazingly similar to my two Adirondack Pack Baskets. Many tutorials are on RU-vid if you type in Adirondack Pack Basket and they do come in a variety of shapes and sizes. If I may suggest? In your very dry climate I fear that your foraging basket will dry out and become brittle therefore it would be a good idea to treat it a couple of times each year. Dipping the basket into the nearby lake and allowing it to become saturated will do it some good. However a light coating of oil will do well too. Varnish, polyurethane and shellac will cause it to become brittle as well. If it was my decision to make I would treat it with a food grade mineral oil which is also used to treat wooden cutting boards. I would love to know where you obtained that basket!

Yesterday, I was rushing to run an errand, and I tripped and fell, and broke 4 ribs!! I went to RU-vid and, somehow this channel came up. It has soothed me, and reminded me that I MUST remember to care for myself, and show myself as much compassion and kindness as I have shown my mother. Thank you for this channel. It is greatly needed, especially now, with all that is going on that makes many of us feel despair.

You reminded me on something I thought never to remember again. Only this is more then sufficient kindness enough for continuing 2021. A very grateful thank you.

I have just found you and this video was so precious it made me cry with happiness. I not only loved the lovely photography, music, and gorgeous scenery. but also what you said at the end about trying to remain in the present. As a creative myself, I am an author, it is also my daily quest to combine my art and desire for simplistic living with daily life. I too live in Washington on Whidbey Island also a magical place to live and your video reminded me to fully live in the reality of the beauty all around me today!

I live in a desert in the middle of AZ and it's hot and the ground is hard as a rock! Not to mention, everyday looks the same whether it's spring, summer, fall or winter. I'm going to leave eventually, then I will be able to have a garden and be able to see trees with leaves that change color! Love your videos - they are calming and give me hope!
