the art of living gently - 1 year at the cottage
Celebrating one year at the cottage! I just wanted to make a video simply about spring and the rhythm of mindfulness that I have been adopting. I also want to mention the key to enjoying mindful and slow living (in my personal experience, it is different for everyone) is to completely let go of what you cannot control (while, of course, recognizing what you can), and embrace that life needs to be enjoyed today, as well as for tomorrow.

I always look forward to your videos. I'm deep in a very hard time in my life right now, and there's no resolution anywhere in the near future. I'm watching my beloved husband struggle for his life on a ventilator. He's only 45. Bright spots are very few and far between, but, your videos are one of them. Thank you and God bless you, Paola 🌱⚘️💛

Hello! I'm a new viewer of yours, and your videos helped me more than you think! I sometimes used to cry for hours, because of stress, and fear. Every time I wanted to calm myself, I couldn't. You have suck a calm, beautiful voice, it reminds me of how my mother used to talk to me... It always helps me calm down, take a deep breath. I thank you for all the help you gave me through your videos!

Two thoughts inspired by this video that I wrote down as a reminder for myself ... * My personal power lies within my freedom and ability to make life enhancing choices. * Wisdom, experience, and sometimes pain teach me to let go of the things that do not nurture me.

What a serene video. Loved seeing the spring flowers & your fur babies 🩷 It is so easy to obsess over matters which we have no control. Getting out of your own head is the best thing you can do. Nature & my kitties help me with that. Who can think of anything bad when you have 5 one month old kittens tripping over each other, playing, sleeping? So adorable & sweet & good for distraction. Take care sweet fairy 💚

Absolutely adore your dress too - glad it survived the little "forest snag." Send much love to you, Paola. ☺❤💙🍄🌷🐰

I've never seen the yellow bells! Very sweet. We have "Yellow rockets" here and they are the earliest blooming wildflower in our forest. They are also entirely edible so I always nibble on a few. I was afraid your bunny was going to nip your little plants! Now, still in April, I could never lay on the forest floor. The poison ivy is sprouting and ticks are abundant. What a lovely video. Thank you.❤
