A Quiet Day Spent Alone - Inspiration for Simple Living - Cozy Baking Vlog
((Note: I know that the audio volume is not ideal in this video - this is one of the first videos I made for YT, I was an editing beginner! My more recent videos have improved, so check those out! Thank you all for the kind messages ❤️))
Just a little insight into a day I might spend alone - foraging for Wild Chamomile (Pineapple Weed) and Wax Currants. At the end of this video I share some of my thoughts on my lifestyle, and what drew me to leading a life of simplicity and quietness. I have not yet mastered how to live this way, but every day I feel greater abundance and love. Hugs to all!

Congratulations on your recovery (from "civilization")! As a life-long "nature-girl" and introvert, I had always aspired to live as you do. I escaped Brooklyn as soon as I could (mid 20s) and have steadily progressed to living as close to nature and as peacefully and remotely as possible. Now, in my mid 50s, I am in graduate school, making a career change to become a therapist. My goal is to use nature as much as possible to help clients find peace and healing, no matter what their challenges might be. I am adding your channel to the top of my list for "homework assignments" for clients - other than forming a direct relationship with nature - to aid them in finding peace, serenity and clarity, and to help in restructuring their paradigms. Thank you for sharing your life with us!

I find your channel very soothing. I live on a rural mountain acreage in a cottage-style cabin with my husband of almost 45 years, chickens and a cat who adopted us almost 6 years ago. I rarely ever see anyone other than my husband and on rare occasion, one of my sons. I love wild birds, flowers and herbs; we grow a good bit of our own food and preserve it, just put up a good bit of jam and pear butter from pears grown here. We made a purposeful choice to live away from most of society and other than my RU-vid channel and ones I sub to, plus the long-running chicken forum I have been a member of for almost 15 years, I have no social media attachments. It is what keeps us sane in our insane world now. Thank you for these beautiful videos. ~Cynthia, N. GA Mountains

I'm 61. I used to want to be around people. Then I met some destructive ones, including in my own family. Now I am happy being by myself, with my dog, settling into a small place in the desert countryside.Various wildlife come to my bird feeders, I raise sunflowers among my small yard and watch the sky instead of TV. I love the quiet life, after a not so quiet life. I don't miss the chaos or those people. Love watching your videos. People can be stinkers. You are not missing much, and saving yourself from drama queens and kings. Good for you!

How calming and relaxing. The videography and music combination with your incredible narration is so peaceful. I also live in the country and my favourite place is walking in the woods, being near water, gardening and reading under a tree. Lisa, Ontario, Canada

I'm what is called an ambivert (new term I learned lol). Sometimes I need to be around people, but often I really need to be alone. As a single mother, I can't even get bathroom time alone. For now, I live vicariously through you because I would love a piece of this at times :). Beautiful home!

@TheCottageFairy 3 года назад

Yes as a preschool teacher I often find myself in similar situation, especially when it comes to bathroom time! We have 16 kids in our classroom, it can get hectic. These videos are my escape from long work week as well, I’m glad we can find little moments to recenter 🤍

@Sophieldazu 3 года назад

This makes me question so many things... Stressing about my dissertation and finding a job after, living in a country where right now I don't feel very happy, I miss the nature and feeling comfortable with myself. But I don't know how to get to a point like you.. It all costs money and sometimes seeing these videos make me feel stuck, like I could never truly be able to silence my mind and achieve the point of true happiness.

@DerekFletcher1 3 года назад

Miss Paola. I have previously written to you today and suspect you won't see this. That is okay because I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your stories because I too, am pursuing a slower lifestyle. I came from a farm (in Southern Alberta, Canada) and discovered how displeasing city life can be. I made the decision with my wife to move to an extremely small community. I'm now a land-owner with a very large garden in the works :) I am also on the volunteer Fire Department which is an honour. My point is that I appreciate you and your channel, because it develops that calm sense of peace but at the same time forcing the question's, is this life for me? and, how should I proceed knowing that the life I am currently living, may not be fulfilling to who I am. Thank you for your inspiration and attention to detail. It does more than you will ever know, and I hope that brings your peace knowing the impact you've made (in a positive way of course:)

I am absolutely liberated by your channel and your journey. I am growing a greater sense of understanding how much beauty are in the little things in life. We can get so caught up in the modern way of doing things, which modern isn't bad, but it can be so relieving to take a break from that every once in a while. Thank you for helping me realize that. I am finally starting to see myself as a human and give myself a chance to be happy, instead of constantly trying to chase happiness for the entirety of my existence. Sending love to you and whoever is reading this.

Blessed are those who can be content with what they have. The key to happiness is to distinguish between a "want" and a "need". Most things we want are not what we truly need.

Your narration has such an immense calmness. Your voice is so relaxing and soothing; so rich with peace and wisdom.

I've been following you for quite some time and now anno 2024, came across this older video. So refreshing to see you having evolved in the last years of making videos with your unique message to the world, yet to realize that the seed of your special vision is already shining through, recognizable pure, true and with your heart value. It's been like a timelapse to watch this video and to know how much you have grown, even becoming a nurturing mother at this period now. So empowering! And giving hope for all who feel like showing themselves in a humble way, letting themselves been seen and heard. I wish you the best!❤

I thought l was weird, but without guilt.I have time on my hands now to enjoy my gardening, house keeping, traveling and a number of DlY projects.For those of us who have been alone by default, l pray you find comfort in that inner spirit and that you occupy your time with the things that make you happy. Thanks for sharing. You are such an inspiration.

Great stuff CF. I left the corporate lifestyle after 20 years, around 6 years ago. My life is so much more fulfilling. I now work from home part time and am a watercolor artist. Perhaps this way of living is not for everyone, but I have found my true self and spirit in this mode. 💖💖💖

@DylioHitachiin 3 года назад

I am absolutely in love with your videos. They are such a breath of fresh air in this hectic world, and I the words you said at the end really resonated with me. I too spent my late teens and early twenties overworking myself to save up money and fit the societal ideal and felt very disconnected from my spirit. Almost one year ago, I moved out west to the Okanagan valley (which looks very similar to the mountains in which you live!) and have found so much peace here living rurally. To be able to spend the day sketching, gardening, reading, and wandering in nature brings me so much joy, and I really don't mind being alone because I am now able to find so much joy and abundance in my own heart. I am hoping to maintain this slower, quiet lifestyle for as long as it resonates. Thank you for sharing these beautiful snippets of your life with us, and for being such an inspiration to be more mindful about how we move about and relate to our world. ps. Aegir has so much life and personality!
