Hello everyone! I thought I’d share a little update on my personal journey about changing my relationship with anxiety and accepting a more sensitive nature. I’ve come a long way, and parenthood has helped me further along on that journey by taking away pretty much any semblance of control I had in my life 😅 schedules are out the window, predictability is nonexistent. Everything is unfamiliar and unknown. I can only hold on to love, that’s it. As hard as it has been, and as hard as I resisted it at first, by surrendering I’ve found that it has actually been a healing balm, in a way the answer I needed all along. I’m so grateful for the experience. Even if you are choosing a life path different from my own, a parent or not, finding little ways to ‘let go’ can remind us how important a skill it is to live a happy life ❤ sending you all so much love! See you soon 🥰
Could you give subtitles, because I like to be wich your channel, but it is difficult to understand your native speech, I study English.Thank you for understanding.
Your growth is definitely an inspiration to me in my ongoing spiritual and mindful healing journey. Thanking you for a glimpse into your ever changing world of love and peaceful acceptance. 💟🤍☮️
Take it from an old person, looking back over a long life. What Paola is showing us is the very best that life has to offer. The best. Thank you dear person.
I am #8 child in a family of 10 children. My highly unusual mother always reminded us that she never felt better than when she was “expecting”! She was elated to line up the older kids on the couch and have each new baby personally welcomed home! In my teens I remarked to her that she had given up so much, for she had achieved being a concert pianist and contemplated a career of touring the world with the orchestra…. Just before meeting my dad and doing a 180 in every sense. She paused after my comment, then replied firmly and lovingly… “No….. I gained!😍” She lived to be a vibrant 98-year-old….the most wise and loving mother I could ever have!
When I was younger I was very high strung and needed everything to be perfect and planned, and was constantly disappointed in everything. But as I grew older I started to be ok with just sitting back and watching things happen, I talked less, I listened more, I didn’t always share my opinion in conversations, and I walked into things with little to no expectations just excited to see what would happen! I find myself so much more satisfied in life since I’ve learned to be happy and grateful for whatever little pleasure is bestowed to me.
As a perfectionist, I'm learning how to embrace and experience life without being so concerned all the time. Thank you for the comment I will keep this in mind.
I never commented...but I just want to tell you....that your voice is really soothing...and your videos work like therapy to my wounded soul... thank you ! ❤
Thank you for sharing your insights. I am an 80+ dude who has been married to rhe same girl for 59 years now, and i still gain insight from the things you share. I don''t think you ever need to apologize for being you and living as you must to be healthy and happy. My wife is handicapped now and i am a 24 / 7 caregiver which necessitated a complete change in my life as well. God bless you and your family. The growth of your little one will bring joy you can't imagine,
Yes to grow and take care to bring to those weaker than us the help they need as well as taking care of our own vehicle.Slow down but share with all creatures and beings in the best way you know,,FROM THE HEART SPACE NOT THE MIND.❤❤
The change in time once a mother is profound and difficult to articulate. The saying"the days are long but the years are short" is the closest I can do. It is as though I became a completely new person the day my first child was born. There was the woman before and the woman after, and they recognize one another but they are no the same. It is a wonderfully strange knowing - motherhood.
Thank you, I've had a horrible day, and I'm trying to relax but I keep ruminating. This was a welcome distraction and a reminder to put things in a long-term perspective. In 5 years, I likely won't even remember the drama of this morning.
Tis so beautiful seeing you Paola cradling your little baby boy in the garden. Life is a gift so just strive to be happy and I’ll look up your recipe and Etsy
Paola, your videos are always a treat for my senses, so lovely! Enjoy that precious bundle, the time literally flies by. As my dear mother-in-law told me when I had my first: The days are long, but the years are short. ❤
@TheCottageFairy ......I've been following you since the beginning Paola. I live in a beautiful Hinterland small town which goes by the name of Cooroy , meaning Possum in the local indigenous language, in Australia. Unlike other countries we cherish our Possums . What I really came on to say to you was , this video you've made today , is without a doubt my favourite. It speaks to me and I hear you . I myself am Wintering , I now call it . Taking time to truly focus on me , almost 64 years Earth Side , and for the first time in my life I'm being kind , a little selfish , and truly loving myself. I'm letting go the feelings of " guilt " that I should be doing something. I am truly embracing that this time , here and now , is mine to choose what I do or don't do with my days . Thank you Paola , I'm glad you learnt this decades younger than I have . 🌻🐝🦋🌼🌼🌼🌸💮🌷 Much love , from Cooroy , Queensland , Australia ❤ PS Of course I'll always find time for my children and grandchildren 🤗
Dear Paola, may God bless and protect you and your family. I agree with you: growing into being a better person is the purpose of our lives. Greetings from Germany and love from Anna.
My real purpose is to shine for my Savior and Lord. I only have one life. I want it to honor Him. Thank you, Paola. Motherhood looks good on you. Hello to Luke and a gentle hug for baby.
Thank you so much for allowing yourself to be courageous in sharing what you've gone through & going through. As someone who struggles with anxiety myself, I have found so much encouragement and insight from your videos. Thank you for being here. The Lord bless your and your growing family 🙏🏽💖
Spirits be kind. You are meant to be a mama. This one inspired happy tears. Thank you for finding the time to create this for us. Many blessings dear fairy mama.
I want to tell you that you are the most calm and calming person I have ever come across either on the internet or in real life. Your films are beautiful and soothing, they are breaths of fresh air, in this world full of loud people.
All influencers on internet that I used to watch when get pregnant and have the baby, I naturally stop to watch and unfollow because they solo speaks and make content about baby. But you so different, your content goes beyond and makes me reflect. Thank you!
I love visiting beautiful Paola….i remember feeling those overwhelming times you spoke of. Everything is so different after you become a mother. It’s sometimes necessary to allow those feelings to come to the fore, I hope you have friends and relatives nearby you so that in those times they might take up the slack and give you a break. I’m sure all of your followers who are here in kind for you, send you a ton of love and strength dear Paola.💕✨✨✨
I absolutely treasure every video you make! There’s something so quiet and purposeful, intentional in every thing you do. Watching you make your summer drink was so relaxing to watch. Maybe I need to finally give up my coffee! Your garden flowers are truly beautiful! I’m blown away when cutting my sunflowers that all this wonder was hidden away in a little seed. Wish you three the best!
There's something magical and oh so beautiful seeing a new Mom with her infant. I was extra happy to see you and the baby! Becoming a Momma is certainly a life changing experience. I realize we have our cry-out moments after the birth of a child. I did too! But babies are lovely and precious and give us so much! There is also of comfort in Motherhood, too. It won't be long before he becomes stronger and he will be toddling around before you know where the time went. You're going to get a kick out of the development of your son. They can be so charming, fun and even funny! You're going to have a lot of wonderful moments. You'll figure everything out. I know you're an excellent mother now, a person of good sense and values. You will always be! Bless your hearts!
You have no idea how much this channel helps me you remind me that everything is sacred and that we are supposed to learn to love and it makes me look at my life and weep I'm not where I am supposed to be . After watching I appreciate life so much more and I appreciate every little moment I have with my young daughter who very much needs me . Thank you so much for grounding me again .
The immediate loss of control over my life was shocking and very difficult to accept when my first as born. Crying it out is normal. Thank you so much for sharing these moments of peace and joy with us.
Any time I see a mama wearing baby in a soft wrap, it's a tug on my heartstrings, remembering my favorite part about having babies, their soft snuggly body pressed up against me in the cozy wrapping. I think my 16 year old, the youngest, misses it too, as he still loves a good squeeze! Part of me wishes I had done as much healing as you have before having children. For me, having children was part of my healing, and it certainly got messy. In any case, we are all doing our best! Cheers!
How beautiful!! Oh I have no doubt I have a lot of work still do on myself - I am humbled every day. How amazing to have little ones help in the journey - my mother feels very similar, she was a cycle breaker in her family and said her children taught her a lot. When she apologized to me for things she wishes she had done differently, all I told her was “through ups and downs, I never felt unloved, and that was what mattered” - we are best friends now ❤️ sending you much love
I had to stop and watch. What a lovely way to remind me to live slowly. I am really, really impressed that when you look back at your younger self, you treat her with compassion as she experiences challenges, makes mistakes, learns and grows. At 60-something, I've not been able to accomplish that yet. You have inspired me. I am so glad to see you enjoying your beautiful boy. Baby-wearing is one of the best things about motherhood. Such a short, sweet time. Sending you so much love back.
You look happy, healthy and your doing a wonderful job of taking care of your son. It's amazing how one's perspective changes when you become a parent. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of your son and it was also nice to see the bunnies. Maybe one day you could show us the inside of their enclosure that your husband built. Be well and definitely keeo smelling the flowers.
I had to give up caffeine as well…as a parent it made me too reactive! Life is much better when I’m calmer. Enjoyed this video so much! Lovely to see you! Hope you and baby are well!
Bless you Paola🩷 being a mother is the most amazing role, your baby needs every moment with you, and he is a precious gift 🌼 be gentle on yourself, your life is forever changed when you become a mother, sending you love 💗
I’m glad to see a video of you at a glance. Ms. Paola, this is a delicately, realistic, motherhood, new beautiful chapter in your life. I’m sure you, baby and husband with extended family are tasting the moving puzzle of family development with love and understanding. Being a mother and the process of parenting is such a blessing.🙏
“Our only real purpose is to grow.” Indeed! Your videos are so meaningful to me, especially given the place I’m at in my life right now. Thank you sharing them, Paola. Best to you and your family.
How good to see you and learn along with you to live and heal❤… to LOVE and BE I love your older videos, as well as the more recent, because In all of them there is a paper as thin as cigarette paper between you , how you really live and the content you offer, and I deeply thank you for this
So beautiful to see you with your sweet little peanut in his carrier! The glimpses of his precious little hands and feet are to be cherished, and I'm happy to note that you are weathering the seas of parenthood as well as we all here expected you would. God bless the three of you and this time of adjustments and wonder.
Feeling of serenity in music and imagery. Beautiful words on life's rhythm: hectic moments, slow spaces filled with reflection. Love that it's brought you to a new place of healing.
My mind has been RACING today, my whole body feeling tense and achy all day and I SO needed comfort. This video came at the perfect time, thank you so much 🥺❤
I had such a Lovely Realization watching this...☀🌝🌞🌠🌈⛈⛅ I used to watch your videos and wish my life was more like yours... now, even though our circumstances are different, I'm in a 3rd floor apartment in a town for instance!, I realized our lives feel very much the same now!...Both Filled with Beauty, Peace, Soul, Heart, Love, Family, Growth, LIFE & Deep Joy! Blessings to You Dear Cottage Fairy from a Town Fairy & Blessings to one & ALL!!!🧚♀
It’s raining this second here in south Florida, and I enjoy every second of your video today! So proud of you, Paola, and the way you manage your life. I want to find peace in my life as you have, and thank you for the examples you set and share with the world. Happy motherhood!❤
I'm a new parent too, and my work (writing novels) has just had to go on hold for ages. It's frustrating, but the most important thing is to enjoy the fleeting moments of early babyhood. Other things will be there later. The youtube algorithm is not forgiving to slow upload schedules, but the sorts of people who watch your channel won't mind.
Dear Paola, I am so proud of how you are doing….you have got this nailed! You look very well, happy and content. Parenthood is a day by day experience….one step at a time. You achieve as much or as little as you can in the space of a day….life as you knew it will return and soon enough you will be back gardening, painting and creating. Much love, Francesca ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing all the beauty of your garden. Your drink looked really good too! It’s nice seeing you settling into motherhood and finding your balance. You are doing a wonderful job! ❤
Paola, you look absolutely vibrant 🌸. Motherhood…such an extraordinary journey. May your days and nights be blessed with all that you need as you experience each and every part. Those Sacred moments are precious gifts, all of which you deserve. 🎼🌟💞
Thank you for taking time to share with us. I feel so honored to be getting any time you have to share in this very different, new season in your life.
Good morning Paola and Baby, I must say I needed to see this beautiful video. It's so calm and beautiful. I woke up with a lot of anxiety, and this made me feel calm. Thank you.
Hello dear Paola.....I so much enjoyed your most recent video.....your walk in your beautiful gardens....and a little hand of baby peeking out from beneath your shawl... and .your delight in the beauty that surrounds you. Yes, becoming a mother is a life changing event in the movement of time....time slows down and yet it speeds up. It is a paradox of finding joy in the moment and yet realizing that these moments are actually fleeting. I think we find a sense of peacefulness when we accept that life is forever changing....we are changing and our perspectives change. We, like the little caterpillar who was once feeling safe and secure in his small cocoon break forth sometimes with the challenge of the change itself, find our wings and move on to new heights and the joy of seeing all things new! Enjoy these very special and fleeting days.....(a friend in Pa.)
Love to see you today ! In regards to crying it out ... I'm post menopausal and still experiencing the cataclysm of my new brain ( vestibular migraine, massive vertigo , hotflashes and anxiety galore ) . Change never stops . Especially in the body of a woman . Therefore, the next time you cry it out , know you are not alone ❤🌼❤️🌻❤️🪻❤️🌷❤️😫☂️
A beautiful, peaceful, calming and precious video Paola. I appreciate your words very much. Certain things I needed to hear for myself 🙏 Baby's little arm looks so pink & soft. He's close to Mommy's heart. A heartwarming moment for us to see ♥️ Have a beautiful week Paola. Be blessed ♥️🙏
You have made really great progress over the past couple of years and now you have a beautiful Star Child to help raise. I am healing as well in this totally imperfect world. Thankfully I do still have some really wonderful friends. You are a Child of Nature and I know your Star Child will be too. That's how we are. Thank you
dandelions blossoms and bunnies, its like feeding them candy (mine love them too!) remind me of thumper being lectured by his mama about leaving the greens. ;) so happy to see you!
You are an artist through and through, Paola, in every way. Your unique lifestyle in nature is utterly inspiring. Thank you for this exquisite video. 💜🙏
I struggled so much with slowing down with my 3rd child in her first year. I love that you have found a beautiful way to be still and just exist in the moment. It does get easier I promise. Thank you for all your insights and wisdom on life.
This is such a beautiful reminder that healing is a journey, not a destination. 🌱 I totally relate to how parenthood adds layers to who we are! And that drink you shared sounds way too good to not try. 🍊 Keep shining your light! ✨
