I’ve overweight too and I find just one day at a time is the best. You are doing great. You will gain strength and coordination as you continue to hike. Love your channel and wish I could travel alongside you!
Hi there! So happy that you are learning to listen to your knees. They will always win any argument, and they hold a grudge. This video is beautiful! 🌸
Lovely scenery, and I am proud of you and your knees. Y'all are pressing on and both you and your knees are getting stronger everyday. You, your adventures and your personal journey have become very special and important to me. I wish you peace and I thank you for your authenticity. Fly, Birdie, FLY
Another great video, Birdie! Love the bangs on you. If you have an ice pack I suggest you ice your knees after your hikes. You are doing great resting them when you feel you need to. Keep on, keeping on you little Road, Warrior! So proud of you! Love and big hugs!
I am drawn to water. It can be a creek, a river, or the ocean. The sounds and sights of moving water are magical. And the most magical of all is the waterfall! Any trickle of water down a hill, and I am enthralled. Enjoy the redwoods Birdie. It is a spiritual experience. Love, love, love, the Columbia Gorge. One of my favourite things to do is ride the sternwheeler out of Cascade Locks. Great way to see the Gorge and the Bonneville Dam.
The sound of the water falls is so healing. It just washes away the bad joujou and bathes the soul. As long as you are close enough to hear it, you’re good. Give them knees a well deserved rest girlie 😉
4:15 YES! That is so true about different natural areas/forests each having their own vibe or feel! Thank ypu for capturing that into words! I've never been able to describe that before and ypu effing NAILED it!
Wow. Not only are your new bangs cute, but you made them yourself! I sat here, mouth agape, and watched you just grab a hank of hair and just lop it off as if it were no big deal. OMG! The courage! 😮
Your videos give me so much hope and joy in the world. I admire your spunk and I know it's not all rainbows and unicorns all the time and I like how you show that part as well. And I feel the same way with long hair, I hated it touching my neck and I finally said screw it and I shaved my head and there's no going back! It was the most freeing feeling ever❤❤❤❤
Every video I say the same thing. I sure wish I was there. Those waterfalls are magnificent and Mt Rainer in all of her glory is beautiful. I’m so envious and glad for you at the same time 🤗
i love that Birdie's translation matrix is horse=pony at Horsetail Falls. when i was a itty bitty girl, my Maw-Maw referred to a quick bath as a 'whores bath'. my three year old brain HEARD "horse bath". subsequently, when taking my muddy self to a hopefully short bath, i announced to the family i was going to have a "PONY bath". thank you, lovely Birdie, for not only a BEAUTIFUL vid; but a silly memory.
Hey Birdie Girl! There you are doing you! Isn’t it fun?. Quick tip, get a pair of those knee supports with the hole around the kneecap. The stretchy ones. Wallmart or Walgreens should have them. Use them when you intend on hiking. They will support your knees and as you get stronger you should notice a difference.
I'm from Oregon. I moved to Tennessee last year. I have been enjoying your journey. I've been to many of the places you've visited, and I miss it so much. I'm getting to explore this side of America, and it's just as beautiful in a different way.
I totally understand the feels of different woods or places, I don't think everyone feels it. The water falls are amazing! You look great with bangs ❣️. I've done my own hair for 40 yrs. to take off length I put it in a ponytail at the very top of my head and cut it straight across. My knees, back and hips won't let me hike but I'm starting exercise to strengthen them 💪. Take care, love ya ❣️❣️❣️
I cut my length pretty much the same way! I used to do layers with the ponytail trick. You can do a lot with that trick. :) I'm so glad you're taking care of your joints. If we ever meet, maybe we could do an easy walk somewhere. I like hiking, but sometimes just walking is so dang pleasant. :) love you back!!
@@WaywardAbode I will do layers next cut! I sure do hope to meet you in person someday, I think we'd have a fun time together! I'll get exercising NOW ❣️☺️
I LOVE your imagination! You are an artist, a writer, someone who can comfortably interpret feelings. Your feelings and others feelings. That is a Gift! Keep it going, Birdie!! You got this! 💖
I think you are funny, goofy, intelligent, interesting and fun to see your videos. I mirror the extreme level of depression that you've talked about, and the SAME level of inability to get anything done, so thank you for shaking me out of my funk somewhat and making me smile with you cutting your bangs - it looks nice.. If i hadn't watched your previous videos about your mental health issues and just came upon this video, i would have thought that you were a fun loving, gregarious and outgoing person with a great personality, without much care in the world.
Birdie you make me so happy, I just love watching your videos, all of them! You encouraged me to get up and go hiking cause I've been slacking but no more!! I'm getting up!!
I have had bang for 10 years now after 40 years of looking at my face and seeing a scar that I have had since I was 14. Other people say they didn’t notice it but I did and the bangs cover it. I just feel so much better now that i have bangs. Celebrate the Bangs!
I've never seen you with your hair down. It looks good! I know what you mean about it on your neck though, because I had long hair at one time and wore it in a pony most of the time. Well, you saw waterfalls, and forests, and mountains, and wolves, and sheep. And laundry, and illegal showers, and beauty school. I think you covered a lot in this video!😁✌🤟
Loved your video as usual and the waterfalls. Also have bad knees. Love your bangs. I always feel upbeat after watching you. Thanks for taking me along on your adventures.
I did the same thing for the same reason! Your bangs look fabulous, go you! Thanks, as always, for taking us along and sharing so much beauty. You really brighten my day.❤
Hi ya Birdie. Beautiful sites you are seeing. Please don’t injure yourself due to pushing too hard. Rest and recoup. But don’t forget when you are walking you’re building muscles around those knees and all over your body. You’re burning calories. Your weight is your business and I’m far from thin, I could lose 50 pounds and still be chubby, but every pound you lose takes a lot of pressure off your knees. I love seeing how happy you are and I hope every day gives you more happiness.💕 Bangs look good on you.
Beautiful views, I love waterfalls. I’ve been to Multnomah Falls a couple of times. Don’t hurry back to Sacramento. It’s over 100° and it’s gonna be for the next couple of days at least. This is ridiculous, I t’s October. Come on mother nature get yourself together. 🌞 😓
Birdie! ❤ Thank you so much for brightening up my days with your delightful personality. I have laughed so much watching your videos and oh my goodness the beautiful nature videos are so wonderful. Thank you, thank you, and thank you some more❤❤❤
The waterfalls were beautiful. The wolf dogs were adorable. I like your bangs. They suit you and make you look younger. I think I might give bangs a go again too.
Ya! The bangs came out awesome! You are so brave! I was cracking the hell up with you while you were cutting remembering when I cut my bangs too short and looked like dumb and dumber😂. I loved this video and the Mt. Rainier video being we are sittin here in here in hot ol Central Cal. hAte it! Get me outta here!! Don’t you dare rush back here!
Love the bangs and your hair down. You need hiking boots to help with your knee pain. It won’t fix all of it but it will help. Thank you for making my not so great day so much better.❤️🧚🏼♂️❤️
I’m just now getting to finish the video this morning and watching you cut your bangs and its giving me giggles. I honestly like the new look a lot! !!! Seriously your intuition was right on. Actually, you look younger !!!!!! You’ve got guts girl.
Another beautiful video Birdie! The moss covered trees, waterfalls, and you narrating for us just makes my week. Thank you for being you Birdie. I love your bangs, they turned out so cute! ❤
Hi Birdie, You are the happiest I've seen you since I've started watching your channel. So great to see you enjoying yourself. Regarding your knees, are you able to buy support braces (the stretchy kind) or kinesiology tape to help you? Also, if you can you should ice your knees after every walk/hike.
Darn. I wish I'd have known you were coming back south. We live in Eugene,OR. Would loved to have met you for lunch 🥗 and coffee. Next time? Take good care Birdie.
Wow Birdie another stunning scenery video. You are looking a lot more confident, I do hope you feel it too. You are sparkling when you talk. I know how it feels to travel on your own on a long trip. Just done a long one in England. From the south to the North. I just said to myself at the beginning you have just passed one town then another and then you settle in and know you can do it. Step by step. Hiking poles are a brilliant idea as it does help especially when its hilly and uneven paths. 🫂
Look at you, Birdie! Rockin' those cute bangs! I had to rewind when you were singing the duck butt song, so I could sing with you. Ha! "Here a butt, there a butt, everywhere a duck butt!" Love it!
Copper Fit has some lightweight knee braces/wraps. They helped stabilize my knees. They make hard braces too but those spandex/elastic braces keep you mindful while not being restrictive. I love all the mini adventures! Your bangs look marvelous!
Should be able to get those Copper Fit at a Walmart Birdie. If not Copper fit the Walmart brand works too. Wear them myself on occasion. Take care of yourself Birdie❤
You are still such an inspiration every time I watch your vids- I am such a chicken compared to you! You just own it ! Make sure that you always let us know if you need cash or something important to your mobile lifestyle. Let us help you! ❤
Hi there! You're so sweet. But I could definitely never ask for anything. But I'm just so dang happy you watch my videos and want to be my friend. What more could I ask for!?
