learning about life in a winter cottage - what the season has taught me
I have always been working on my sense of self-trust and self-esteem, but last year has made me realize I still have a lot of progress I wish to make. In this video I wanted to share in hopes of encouraging you to embrace a year of growth as well, and support you on your own journey as well!

Hello everyone! One correction: I uploaded this video before realizing that I would not be able to re-open my Etsy shop until next week, so I’m sorry that it says it’s open when I’m still working on orders! Snowstorms over here have restricted my travel as well as affected mail so it’s taking me a while to get re-stocked. Thank you for understanding ❤ sending much love and thank you for being here 😊 my puppy got sick last week so I did not upload a video, but he is doing much better! The mosaic kit of the Crow I made is from an Etsy store Northern Whimsy Art: www.etsy.com/shop/NorthernWhimsyArt?ref=shop-header-name&listing_id=1604309465&from_page=listing They are an awesome company!

The question I have is where do you get that if you are not relying on others to affirm you. How do children do that?

@debby891 6 месяцев назад

@@sylviacarlson3561 good question and I think it may come from when we are children. That old poem, Children Learn What They Live has such a powerful message to it. I had it hanging on my fridge when my kids and grandkids were young as a constant reminder that my actions and words would forever write on the slate of who they would be as an adult. Unfortunately if they don’t receive the same message at school, friends, coworkers, etc you can only hope that what you do at least helps to build a strong character. Just my thoughts on it being a grandmother

@lareekline8232 6 месяцев назад

One of my tricks for self-love was to never say anything to myself that I wouldn't say to a child -- no scolding, no guilt, no shame. I often found myself saying, "It's okay, you're only human." And if I was hurtful to another, I would take responsibility and make apologies. Blessings on your path!

Staying AUTHENTIC in a world where everyone is trying to be the same, thanks to social media, - is indeed tricky! I've also been navigating this path of self-love and acceptance, just as I am. It feels like a never-ending journey, but we've got this! ❤ ❤ ❤

@Renom789 6 месяцев назад

Just because you are different from others, doesn't mean you are authentic. Even those people who are "same as others" can be authentic. I think that the problem is indeed in this artificial portrayals of authenticity, and putting to shame everyone who is "not" authentic.

@virginiacreager4331 5 месяцев назад

In the US the idea of independence is shoved down our throats and it is completely unnatural and unrealistic in the ways human beings actually function. We are all dependent on each other not only for our basic material needs but also for emotional well being. This is accepted and honored in so many parts of the world (I learned this once I started to travel and live in different countries.) As a mama it is essential to have community and as many helping hands as possible. Absolutely nothing wrong with that except you don’t need to buy as much stuff so it’s not great for profit and consumerism. It’s up to us to reach out, connect and rebuild the bonds that society has tried to break. Much love to everyone on here in whatever you’re going through; there’s people who care❤

Complete truth stated without compromise here - bravo. I am 80 y.o. and I've tested and lived this truth. I've come through .marriage breakdown, single parenting and now ageing and I'm still functioning well living in this truth. People need people first, things second . My joy is to see more and more people breaking the conditioning. Paolo is such a beautiful inspiration and we are affirming her. BLESSINGS TO ALL.

@kierlak 6 месяцев назад

Absolutely. If we want to heal we have to be willing to face what's uncomfortable. We have to first identify the negative core beliefs we've been holding on to. Only then we can begin changing. Not changing ourselves but the stories we've been telling ourselves about who we think we are. I often hear people saying: "I don't know who I am. I want to find myself". Perhaps sometimes it's helpful to find out who we're not and start letting go of that. So our true authentic self can re-emerge ❤

I live in Maine and winter is my most favoritest season. Everything slows down and there is little stress to GO DO SOMETHING. I basically just sleep and eat and read by the woodstove. No bugs or craziness or people demanding attention. I can go snowshoeing or skating if I wish but there's no pressure to do so. BTW, if you thought that cornbread was "burnt" you havent had my wife's cooking.

@linellcorban4194 5 месяцев назад

This can be true for many but for some there is another side of new motherhood. 'Baby blues' can be quite normal & a quickly passing phase for most new moms. But post partum depression is real. And insidious. It also can wait, sort of in the background, to raise its ugly head when you least expect it. It may never be a problem for you; you are very self aware. Just recognize it if it does so you can get help. This is not meant to be a 'downer' just a reminder to tuck away 'in case'. Your mental & physical health is more important to your son than we are to you. We will be here. ❤

@simonjenkins1533 6 месяцев назад

Hi Paola, Simon from Sussex (England) again. You look so wonderfully "blooming"as a "mum to be". For this writer, this is lovely to see, and I concur valuing ourselves is the most important thing we can do; because if we don't value ourselves, we simply cannot value others/environment/nature. BTW, your book is permanently on my night reading pile! Best, Sx

@elisayoungblood7883 6 месяцев назад

This is great! At age 72, after a recent divorce, I’ve rediscovered Louise Hay’s videos. Her philosophy on loving yourself is changing your inner self-talk and beliefs, so that your life changes permanently. I say affirmations many times daily. When I become aware of a negative belief, I pray with a visualization that it leaves me or dissipates. I visualize how I want my life to be, including financially, and I affirm it. Affirmations go beyond reality to plant seeds in the atmosphere of my subconscious. And I practice gratitude, going over even the tiniest thing, such as my blender and nutmilk maker. I’m working on changing my feelings with these techniques. Also, I expect the prayer-visualizations to heal my physical and mental problems (depression, digestive issues, fatigue, etc). So far, it’s working.

@SharonG-ip3ll 6 месяцев назад

Dear Paola, your channel and Jonna Jinton's are my two favorite channels for a few moments of calm, peace, beauty, and quiet reflection on what is truly important in life as we grow and progress and struggle with adversity and challenges. Every life is unique, but we all struggle with adversity in one way or another and it is our individual challenge to cope the best we can while appreciating all the good things in our daily lives. Gratitude and acceptance are my guiding principles these days as I approach my 78th birthday. Thank you for all you do, Paola. You have an immense, positive impact on the lives of so many people whom you will never meet in person. This tired, broken world could use a million more people just like you.

@stacycheck7951 6 месяцев назад

Bless you for this video series about the journey of growing in self-confidence and self-trust. I recently approached someone about how their words and actions about me in front of others bothered me, and they also became upset. I've been beating myself up, trying to think if there was any truth in what they said, doubting myself and my interpretation of events. When I saw your video come up, I said, "Oh, thank heaven." All of your words wrapped themselves around me in a big hug. Thank you and everyone in this lovely community for making me feel like I'm not alone. I still have a lot of work to do...

@wildwarriormama734 6 месяцев назад

Paola. I just wanted to share my deep gratitude. As much as I’m trying my best to return to my love of getting lost in a good book, instead of avoiding the challenges of life with RU-vid & Netflix, I have, over the past few weeks, fast forwarded through your RU-vid life, from your first video until now. Your videos have helped me reset, & shift my inner world more in the direction of that part of myself that is more grounded & authentic…& created a desire to reclaim my playful, innocent child-self; a part of my life that I very much miss. I have been thoroughly enjoying tapping into my creativity, whilst crafting orange garlands & wreaths for my home!…opening the gateway for more projects. May your pregnancy, birth, motherhood & family-life be full of magic & wonder. Oh, & a few childrens’ books that you might like (if you haven’t already come across them) would be the Milly, Molly, Mandy series, the Fern Hollow books & a gorgeous book by Wendy Froud & Terry Windling called “A Midsummer Night’s Faery Tale”. Much love, Rebecca

Wonderful wisdom-sharing video - as always -TY. I was writing a comment to your last video, when someone had to use my iPad, so it never got sent. I guess sharing those thoughts remains important to me, b/c here I am again. When you told us you had taken a step in a relationship that was hard, but important for your personal growth, I started to think about a few times in my life when I have tried to do that. It has never gone well, and almost always, our friendship or relationship ends. The difference, though, is that I am quite sure you approached the task of “clearing the air,” with a sweetness and tone that is so … you. I very much appreciate you sharing that, as I will try to learn from you and do better … if ever in that place again. Blessings to you, Paola … 😊❤️✝️

Since last summer, I have been plagued with leg and foot pain in my left leg. Finally diagnosed with an uprooted Meniscus coupled with bone on bone arthritis needing a knee replacement. And plantar fasciitis in that left foot. With some excellent PT. and chiropractic care it is healing and no longer need surgery. But, what I feel has helped greatly is dancing around my house to the Goddard sisters music!! So watching you dance outside in the snow to it put a huge smile on my face and I totally understand!!

I loved the celtic music at the end! I use to play bodhran at various irish sessions when I lived in Massachusetts, it was a magical time! Last winter when I was on the Oregon coast, I'd sit up on a knoll overlooking the ocean and play the drum along with some celtic music 🎶 You played a chord in me when you were mixing up the batter and said how you loved being home while there was a big snowstorm, baking with a nice warm fire on. That's how I felt when I had my house in Vermont, I do miss that cozy feeling since I've been in my van. Hoping to find a nice cabin in the fairy tale woods somewhere and stoke the fire again. ✌

I have often thought the isolation thing is nothing to be feared,but simply a way to be stronger so you can use that energy and creativity to add something to others and perhaps be useful helping others to get out of their boxes and try to find themselves. Too often we get lost trying to please others and neglect ourselves.

Paola, it is so true that many people find themselves faced with self doubt that seems quite overwhelming. I love the way you describe the journey as not really being broken, but as an opportunity to form a new, more beautiful relationship with yourself. It made me think of the lovely Japanese art of kintsugi. Broken pottery mended with gold epoxy and transformed into something more beautiful than it was before it shattered. It's an image I value because life will always take a chip here or make a break there, but we are repairable.

It’s amazing how you have self doubt, but project such joy and happiness from the simple things in life. I literally look forward to your videos each and every time, and they always inspire me.

I found and became an instant fan of the Gothard Sisters last summer! Lovely video as always.

You are really very helpful for a person struggling with addiction mindset! I learn a lot of self love and compassion from you, it is very helping and you are a role model.

Thank you for sharing The Gothard’s Sister’s music. My parents are from Ireland and hearing this music brings me back to beautiful Ireland.

Your drive to intentionally work on yourself and enrich your life are goals. I hope you're able to enjoy the warm summer months, for the remainder of the time we have them. We all have to be our own kind parent and learn to properly care for ourselves and teach ourselves how to grow with nurturing in stead of shame and fear at a certain point. Some of us didn't have the goundwork to build from in our up-bringing and are having to lay that groundwork ourselves. Life can be hard. We are all doing the best we can, and that is enough.

I also have trouble standing up in anyway for myself or my needs. I've been really working on that the past many months. I'm very different than my family. I'm creative,sensitive, & have a huge heart for those less fortunate. My family has some very narrow and racist ideas. As a result they don't include me anymore. I am proud of my heart and my care for others who are suffering and it is how we should be. I don't see too much kindness in them towards others who are different. I can say I have reached some peace with knowing there is nothing I can do to change them and i don't have to keep conforming to what they want to see. Your channel has helped me to understand I will not waste what life I have hoping others around me will change. I am now looking out for myself. ❤ I hope you are feeling wonderful during this special time!

This video spoke to my soul. I’m going through a similar situation of growth and hardship, relearning how I want to live, and finding balance in all of the difficulties of trying to become a version of myself and living in a way that makes me happy. Hearing your positive outlook on the situation, it is comforting to know that other people are going through what I am and - reminder that I can use this opportunity as a turning point for “growth, healing, renewal, motivation”.

Thank you a Paola for another beautiful video. For sharing your journey. You have helped me on mine. You often find words to express just what has been in my heart that I hadn't found words for. Much love to you and your growing family ❤

It's very hard to forgive one's own self for mistakes and shortcomings. I don't know why it should be. I'm almost 67 and still struggle with that. Some people do the most horrible things and never give that a second thought and others beat themselves black and blue for the smallest reasons. To me, when you can accept that you will never be perfect, forgive your own mistakes, and become your own best cheerleader instead of your own worst critic, then you will have mastered the art of self love. Beautiful crow and I'm glad your puppy is doing better!

I absolutely love this video! 🤎 You inspire me to try harder and you sometimes bring both tears and smiles to my face. I am surrounded by your beautiful art in my work station at home. My favorite is the girl and the fox embracing, and all the others you have created. Thanks so much🌻

I love your videos. They are so real and can be applied to everyday life. Don't worry about wearing the same dress. Comfort is what counts now. Take care, and get some rest, and enjoy this cozy time of year.

I love that music! I really need to start listening to some. You are such a sweet person and so wise. My parents never were happy, so I’m glad to see a young person already like yourself finding your way and worth! ❤

Another lovely video. I love snowstorms that keep you inside, there is something so peaceful and even magical about those times - as long as they don't last too long or cause damage! I moved from Chicago to Ireland and the winters are much milder here, which I don't mind but I'll always feel at home in a blizzard!

Oh Lord, I don't know what it us like to not love yourself, to treat yourself kindly. I feel so sorry for those who don't know who they really are. You are the physical manifestation of The Source energy.....of all that is. You have a spark of God in you. Please, everyone, treat yourself accordingly ❤❤❤
