When you opened with not wanting to ever live in a world of concrete and plastic, and said "How could I? I'm a wildflower, like you." I cried! I'm lucky to live on a mountain, in the forest with loads of wildlife. My little house was recently described as a magickal cottage in the woods, like from a movie. Made my heart sing. Kisses to Noah.

[@theramblingrose_]

A magickal cottage in the woods?! That sounds like a dream. I too am just so grateful for this place. I drive around the country roads and just keep saying 'wow!' because it's all so beautiful. Noah sends kisses too 🌹xx

[@loristromski1334]

Me too! I quit 2 toxic jobs and am dreaming of leaving my “stupid “ suburban life in Wisconsin to a wild child life in rural isolated Northern Wisconsin. I am 58 and shifting to a different version of myself and dreaming about how it will look is magical.

[@ScoopGirl]

I've found your channel about two years after my friends life was taken and I found comfort in your channel cause she was in the middle of learning to be a witch of her own. And we were like sisters since 2nd grade and I found comfort in your channel a calming which I needed. So I thank you for that. I hope your holiday is bright and rested as well. And thank you for your content

[@theramblingrose_]

What a beautiful, heartfelt comment. I remember you, and I'm so grateful that my channel has been calming and offers a connection to your dear friend. I hope you have a magical Christmas and you feel your friend's energy around you, cheering you on in life 🌹xx

[@ScoopGirl]

@theramblingrose_ aws thank you. I hope you as well. I know this time of year can be stressful we all have our days. But thank thank you 😊

[@itsacharminglife]

Thanks Nancy for a beautiful video. Everything looked gorgeous and the food scrumptious. ❤🎄

[@theramblingrose_]

Awww thank you Anna! The food was pretty scrumptious! Good thing this dress has an elastic waistband, right? Merry Christmas 🌹xx

[@janalavtizar4426]

I enjoyed all your themes this year, but if I may, I'd ask for more cottage renovations or decorating; also, your new garden...

[@theramblingrose_]

Thank you so much. I certainly have a lot more renovation and decoration projects in this house... every room needs a touch of love! But today, I'll be out in the garden - watch this space 🌹xx

[@itsmewende]

The Irish blessing is lovely, would make a beautiful work of art...hint hint. See you in '24, as I'll be spending time in winter, I'd love to see all the gardening you get up to this winter. Merry Christmas from the states, on the shore in Maryland.

[@theramblingrose_]

Aha, love the 'hint hint' artwork idea... I just might do that for my book project! Thank you. I'm thinking of filming some gardening stuff today. Merry Christmas from Far East Gippsland 🌹xx

[@charlesperez9976]

You asked what my favorite video of the year is? It’s this one. You may have endured trials,tribulations,challenges,but in the end,you found LOVE. And,it’s Perez love,the best brand that they make🤣 Also,I miss the sound of the black cockatoos,that fine tribe of geniuses,as are their cousins,the budgerigar,and their corvid distant cousins,the Ravens. They all call out to one another,goodness knows what conversations they are having.

[@theramblingrose_]

Perez love is for sure, the best brand they make. I'm so glad you liked this episode, Charles. Sending you a big hug and a Merry Christmas wish all the way from the wilds of Australia 🌹xx

[@charlesperez9976]

Thank you for your Christmas well wishes! I will be experiencing a solo Christmas for the first time,it’s a bit disorienting. Oh! Is the solstice happy right now? I think it is!

[@janetwalker3541]

Wow, it all looks so lovely, and on a budget too! .... Wishing you happy holidays and a healthy happy new year! 🎄⛄❄🎁 Greetings from Ontario Canada!

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh Janet! Thank you so much! It's harder to stick to a budget at the holidays, but I'm doing okay! You know, I went to find more of that thrift store ribbon yesterday - $13 a roll!! How insane is that?! Anyway, Merry Christmas from the land downunder 🌹xx

[@dianecichocki8949]

Merry Christmas!! I’ve enjoyed all the videos and enjoyed your sharing of all of this years new and wonderful happenings in your life.

[@theramblingrose_]

Thank you so much, Diane. I am so glad you have enjoyed the journey with me here... it's amazing how much change a single year can bring! 🌹xx

[@theMermaidRhonda]

Blessed Yule! My favorite video of yours is the one from Samhain. It spoke to my heart. 💖

[@theramblingrose_]

Wow, thank you. That episode was a pivotal and life-changing time for me. It feels like this channel is a visual diary, capturing these moments in my life. Everything changed after I vowed to step out of the 'deep dark woods' of grief. Lots of love to you, Rhonda. Merry Christmas 🌹xx

[@Rosabelle69]

[@lulumoon9]

So very charming! You set such a beautiful table table, Nancy. I very much long for that kind of tranquility you feel in your eucalyptus forest. I adore our forest trails here and am incredibly grateful for them, but I would love to enjoy them without nearby traffic noise. Wonderful quote from John Muir at the beginning!

[@theramblingrose_]

Thank you so much, Lulu! Yes, the quote at the beginning really struck a chord with me. I am sorry that the nearby traffic noise interrupts your peaceful forest walks! But I suppose you have to take a deep breathe and just tune into the trees instead. I know the feeling!

[@dammisenanayake-cq6gv]

I found for many years being in Mother nature is the most wonderful and beautiful feeling. You have all of Mother with you and her animals. It is realxing, peaceful and joyous. It is my favorite place to be. I hope you find it wonderful as well and I am sure you will. My dearest blessings to you. Happy Holidays to you and those you love. I am enjoying all the videos you do. It is so nice to wake up the mornings with a cup of coffee or a night watching your videos. Your art, your creativity and talent is amazing. I wish so many times I could draw of things I see in nature or sew. I am no artist nor I can't sew, but I do take pictures. Many blessings your way. Happy New Year. I hope next year is a wonderful year for all us all around the world.

[@theramblingrose_]

Thank you so much, and I love reading your beautiful comments each time. Ah yes, the darker side of things, but it's all so moody and imaginative for an artist to delve into those things!! I have always loved spooky stories right alongside my fairytales 😆 Lots of love and Merry Christmas 🍒🎄xx

This is the perfect ending for 2023 🙂 Though I think I just gained a couple of extra quilos just by looking at your Christmas Feast 😁 I'm glad that your year has turned out so right at the end. Thanks for sharing it with us and inspiring us all to disconnect, slow down, breathe, appreciate and live more sensitively.

Oh Susan, thank you so very much. It has been special to connect with so many kindred spirits and I'm grateful for each new friend I've made through this creative medium of filmmaking - I've learnt so much and had so much fun!

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas Nancy, your first in your new cottage. A lot of changes in your life, new love new home new environment. Something that I have noticed since you have moved is the light in your area is a beautiful warm light. This I believe is my favourite thing in your videos. Wherever you are it's a very special place. After a long few years, things are finally settled in my situation. I hope to leave my current tiny home and move somewhere else with a bit more space around me and less noise. A big year ahead for me after being in a holding pattern waiting.. 🎄

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh how amazing that you noticed that! Yes, the light here is gorgeous, I'm not sure what it is, perhaps because the afternoon sun comes flooding across the low hills and creates a beautiful effect? In any case, I absolutely love it here - perfect for a photographer. I'm hoping the new year brings a beautiful change of pace for you too. Thanks for watching, sweet soul 🍒🎄xx

[@RockDove5212]

"The language of mother earth is so gentle," I would have to disagree with! The last week has seen hundreds dead in volcano eruptions and earthquakes. Animals rip each other to death. Nature can be brutal too even though it also sooths us. Loved your video though, very calming. Thank you.

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh gosh, you're right. That quiet whisper can become a roar. Thank you for watching xx
