Empty house tour coming in a couple weeks. Thank you all for your kindness. So much sadness on the news, please take of yourselves and be kind whenever possible. So important to cultivate love, especially when things seem dark ❤️ hope this little video can offer some moments of peace.

This couldn't have come at a better time for me. Today would have been my daughter's birthday. All day I have tried to be brave, singing her Happy Birthday and refusing to cry. I have just sold my house and moving back to my home country. I am so excited to be going home but everything I do hurts, every decision I make is questioned, every minute step forwards feels like betrayal... and yet I must. If I had gone first I would want my daughter to be flying high and loving life, taking every opportunity before her, seizing every moment. So to honour that I am trying to do the same. Seeing your vlog today reminds me, that however hard, life goes on, and so it should. Thank you x

What's difficult about this, besides the actual move itself, is you're voluntarily leaving a place where you've been happy - but given why & to where you're going, plus for whom this is all happening, any sadness you're feeling will be temporary - & quickly replaced with gratitude for this beautiful location's part in all the healing that allowed this wonderful transition to occur.

Here in Australia we are currently living through the worst floods in our history. While I was fortunate not to lose my home, helping others who have, has been illuminating. From having to let go of precious art to children's school books, family photos, countless mementos that hold sentimental value, has shown me that even in the midst of all the mud and sludge and watter logged helplessness, somehow we find the courage to let go, to give one last look at a treasured item and consign it to the pile of rubble at the front of house after house in street after street in so many towns along our eastern coastline from Brisbane down to Sydney and beyond. The community spirit of helpfulness and commaradiere is what is sustaining us all. Thank you for your precious weekly videos. This was exactly what I needed this morning before setting off for another day of helping where needed. 💖

@dehelwig 2 года назад

I found that after my parents died, I felt myself hoarding material items from my childhood home that helped fill the void of their absence. As time went on (and is still going on), I'm able to separate myself from these items easier. By making positive (sometimes risky or difficult/uncomfortable) life choices, and creating and nurturing new and valuable relationships with some extraordinary people, we are able to let go of the past and run happily to the future. Growing pains are necessary and rarely stumble-free. You show great humility and gentle strength in your growth. Sending warm blessings your way as you complete your transition!

Of course you have to move now. It’s snowing. You can’t do this when the weather is good, it’s not allowed by the gods of house-moving. For me, leaving my gardens and the birds and other animals that would visit it was always heart wrenching. When I have to do something that makes me fearful (if I‘m honest with myself, that’s what I‘m feeling!), I remember what a wise colleague once said to me, when I was worried about something: she said (in German) „Lauren! Habe Mut!“ - Lauren , you should have courage! And I always think, yes, she’s right… I‘m so grateful to her, even though she shocked me at the time. It helps me gather myself when I’m overwhelmed.

Thank you for another beautiful, thoughtful and inspiring video. How wonderful that this move has truly been a time of cleansing and welcoming in your life! You have some beautiful books! As someone who has moved hundreds and hundreds of books, I wanted to give you some suggestions (which may come to late in this instance, but here goes). 1) Keep your boxes at less than 40 lbs. 2) pack similar -sized books together 3) pack books flat, alternating spines - esspecially when packing hardcovers 4) pack paperbacks on the bottom of the box and add the hardbacks on top - the paperbacks are better able to handle more on top of them than hardbacks spines can. 5) fill empty spaces with napkins or small towels or even clothes, to keep the books from shifting in transit. 6) fill boxes completely, so that a box placed on top of another doesn't "sink" onto the one below. and, finally, which should be #1- 7) use the sturdiest boxes you can find to protect your books during a move. Wishing you a wondeful new life in your new home and many blessings - Dios te bendiga abundantemente.

There are times when we have to get out of our comfort zone. Transitions are surely one of them. These are times of growth which, you already know is a good thing. It does surface many emotions. I have just recently made a transition from the city to a rural area after my husband went to heaven. As a matter fact that is when I discovered your channel-in the middle of the transition. I started organizing everything meticulously and ran out of time before the moving deadline, so some had to be boxed up to finish sorting in the new home. I pray for God's peace for you, and strength. A wedding is a wonderful thing to be preparing for. I relate to the chaotic overwhelming feelings. You will have the wonderful adventure of having a partner to share the load of joys, dreams and challenges. I am starting a new life in this new season of my life as a widow. Your videos have been helping me learning to appreciate the joys of being alone after all my adult life was with my husband. I look forward to your new adventures. I am also an introvert who loves books and I have more of a creative mind. I identify with you on many levels. God bless you!

I have just been through a transition where I have downsized after children leaving home and have moved to a much smaller, simpler way of life which I love. You are right, it is very cathartic to go through your belongings and let go of a lot of things and learn to treasure what you keep (for me it was after living in the same house for 20 years and bringing up 3 children there!). I am embracing the change and even the range of emotions the transition brings.

I have to be honest, I"m a little sad at seeing you leave this darling cottage, but I know another journey awaits you. Please keep these videos coming once you're settled my Fairy Queen!

@katheejasuhail8280 2 года назад

It honestly feels like I'm moving out of the house with you. Like how you've had many different experiences at this place, I've been watching videos of you from this house during different phases of my life as well. I guess this place will definitely stay special and I hope this sudden change in your life will bring in many things that you truly cherish ❤ Sending you my love all the way from India Paola 😇❤

Honestly felt like crying for you. You've shared so much with us! I remember having a really hard time a few months ago and I kept waking up super early, I had moved into a new place and wasn't taking the change well. I'd become deeply depressed. So I'd watch your videos for comfort and it was like escapism while also being incredibly real. I'm really excited for what's next for you.

Best of luck in your move. I'm moving house soon too and the best way to deal with anxiety is to be productive and to keep busy. I'm sure your pets will love having a bigger house to run around in. You have so many lovely books! I keep pausing the video to try and see what they're all called. Home is where your books are, imo x

awe we’re gonna miss the cottage too :(( i hope you’re new home will be as homey as this one for you :)) i hope you’ll also feel as safe at home in your new home!!

@sueshynn586 2 года назад

This is so very exciting Paola. This must mean that your new house was finished ahead of time. Just think of the excitement when you unpack each box and put your treasured things in their new home. Keep your Neverland box as some day you can show your children. Love from Sue in the UK

Reassessing, remembering, letting go....yes always a good practice to engage in now and then. A friend of mine kept letters I had written to her in my youth. She gifted them to me recently....we are talking from the 70's! I was so happy to see them, read them. I will not compost them but possibly use them in art collages! The same with letters I have kept for decades from my mother. Her handwriting brings me comfort and I can envision her words peeking out from the paint in future art pieces. Wishing you the very best in this life change you are experiencing 🙏💜♥ 💚💖💙 💕

Transitions and change…even if a positive thing…can be challenging emotionally and physically. Going with the flow one step and one day at a time helps me with that. So very happy for you and this new chapter of your journey ☕️tea breaks help too😊

Such perfect timing for this video. I loved what you said about going through what you own and considering what you value, what you should keep in your life and what to let go of. Like a spring cleaning. I have a lot of changes coming up as I am moving in two weeks and am having a job change. It can be daunting at times but I'm also really motivated by change. Thanks for the reminder and the video in the midst of everything you have going on. And good luck with settling into your new place, can't wait to see it all come together!

When you look back at your entrance to your home, I can see all the emotions of moving so clearly written on your face and in your eyes. I feel that no matter how many times one moves, it always feels like the end of a chapter, which fortunately means the beginning of a whole new chapter of possibilities.

Same here with a treasure little box, I got it to keep my lil nephews tiny flowers he used to give all the time and my nieces giving me special tiny rocks or sea shells and different things for Valentine's day and I kept all this beautiful moments and now my 4 nieces and nephew are married and with kids. I'm 51.years old and when they visit me they always wanna to see that treasure little box and all my photos albums that i have when they were little. I wouldn't question my self to keep that box, one day you'll see how it turns in a real treasure 🙌🏻💕💕✨

Moving can surprisingly be very emotional, sometimes you don't realize how connected you are to the energies of your space. I love where you live as it's not far from where I grew up. Best wishes for ease of movement and grace for yourself in whatever you experience as you make these physical changes!

Packing clothes with books is a good move. Very nice idea, the coffee can turned into a plant pot. Take care.

“Go through your things and see if they hold the same meaning” yesss! I love, just in case no one has told you recently.. I’m SO proud of you 🙏 For choosing the unknown and all of its possibility over all you’ve created over the many months there! You’re truly an inspiration :’) I am moving in a few months time and starting the process of releasing the things that no longer serve who I Am now. I don’t know about you? (or anyone else reading this) but I have always had such an emotional attachment to inanimate objects.. and I’m currently in the process of releasing that. It’s not easy but I so agree, keep the things that hold meaning for where and WHO you are now ☺️ Sending all my love to you sweet soul!! 🤍

So heartwarming to see you love a place so much that makes it hard to leave. It really shows how much you've made your place a home. Right now I'm struggling with living in the future - so excited to find a home and move in with my soon-to-be husband, that I'm not living in the present anymore, longing to leave rather than soaking in these last few months in my current place. Your perspective reminds me that home is what you make it. Wishing you all the best in your next phase of life.

I also have “voids” in my memory , especially during my years of ED. Now that I’m older, they start peaking through and I panic a little. Hard not to be judgmental on oneself. I live so minimally and I think it’s my way of protecting myself from any remembrances that are painful. So happy to see you move towards a new life ❤️🌻

I laughed at the big box of books! When my inlaws were newlyweds, my mother-in-law packed all of my father-in-law's books into a big refrigerator box when he was at work. She was so proud of herself until she realized it would be impossible to move. You aren't alone. :)
