A normal day living alone at my homestead

[@hexfreedom3614]

I lived 7 years on top of mountain. I relate much of what you going through right now. According to those that went ahead of us we need extreme strong faith in God to live up in the mountain by oneself. There are a lot of tests in a spiritual sense.

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

I’d rather be anywhere with God than without him.

[@philipajarapoo7675]

That home, that property, that small town you go to. I love it all. Pure Americana and wholesome. I hope to have all that too someday. Quite a life and home you’re building. Keep it going.

[@hristomomchilov9459]

My girlfriend and I started watching your videos a few days ago. Watched your first 25 videos in just 3 days. You're so inspiring and we love your mindset. Great channel, good luck with all your endeavours! ❤

[@iraidamanda3465]

My dear, you are such an inspiration to many. Don’t ever change. You are perfect just the way you are. Your homestead looks amazing. 😊

[@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354]

I don’t EVER comment, but I’ve been an avid watcher forever.. This time I just had to say just how beautiful you look. Inside and out.. Nothing more, nothing less.. Stay blessed!!

[@squigtonianmayhem4602]

You smiled for almost the entire video. That's great to see. A path doesn't need to be clear, to be the right path.

[@Jeff-0621]

You are not crazy, because there is no such thing as normal. I am glad you’re expressing it, because I thought I was the only one who feels the pull of change.

[@merlynnkoehn3971]

Alyssa, you hit it out of the park with this video. Enjoyed spending a little time with you today, and you have done such a great job with decorating your home. Your choices in furnishings and clothes are great. Loved your positivity as you face the future, and you are a very special and beautiful woman 🌺 God bless you and keep you safe and healthy ❤️🙏 Love and prayers coming your way 🙏💞

[@andreasantoniades9171]

I'm watching your videos long time ago! Honestly your calm energy and your GORGEOUS beauty is something unique ❤

[@blairhughes]

You are wise BUT a engine swap might be $ 1,500 & a ring doorbell wood help us feel more comfortable for your safety.

[@JuarezDerrick]

@@blairhughes why are you replying that to him?

[@williammullensarge]

You go girl! Never hurts to change up once in awhile, take a break from what you're working on and then hit it with all eight cylinders when you're ready. love the videos and you look so happy after you got your package delivered from thread up. Not to mention that looks like the happiest dog I've ever seen! Stay safe sunshine.

[@colleenbalch328]

So much fun seeing you make your new home, your own! Have a BLAST doing it, Alyssa!

[@dylancleary5237]

I love what you did with your guest room deco! It’s perfection 👌🏽 Looks so cozy and inviting.

[@nybe]

Saw your ig post about the BS comments some idiots make on your videos and I just wanted to say: You're doing a great job of living your preferred life and it's so very inspirational! I DIG how much you've experienced and accomplished at a young age!... My only advice would be: don't get hung up on the very human habit of "negativity bias" where (for example) we focus on one bad comment out of hundreds that can have the potential of ruining your day. Social Media platforms are powerful concentrators of energy and for very primal reasons; we always get overly hung up on the feedback we don't like... You end up giving that negative energy more power by focusing attention on it. Keep up the awesome adventure of your life! It's really fun seeing what you're living 🙏🏻

[@hey.itskelcey]

I loved this video, Lyss. You're a NATURAL at making your homestead feel cozy and inviting. I can't wait to come back and spend more time with you. Also, I LOVE that you're finding thrifted materials with a story of their own. It's so fitting for the ambiance of your place. I'm sure I'll be seeing you in no time! ❤

[@gulumayroz]

❤️🙏🌈...sweet !!! (BTW...a quote..."imagination is the problem, disguised as the solution..."...in other words... imagining a different "now-reality", is a lever of change...but it's also the root of inner conflict...)😄🙏🌈🌹

[@frankvaiden3891]

Ok! Clothes can make the girl. Nothing that is more exciting than trying on new clothes. And Lyss does that so well! FV

[@bay9876]

Nice lifestyle. No extreme worries, just exploration and fun. The stool is a treasure.

[@r.mcmickens7349]

Lyss. Do your thing. Don't let anything bring you down. You will get over any obstacles that get in your way. You look great in all of the clothes, but you could wear burlap and rock it like no one else. You are an inspiration.❤️🫶🫠

[@James_A85]

Always love new videos from you Alyssa make me feel mentally better after watching them you such amazing person 💗

[@MatthewRivers-Davis]

Always get a buzz when your notifications pop up - many thanks for giving us a glimpse into your life and homestead - its a privilege to see your progress as I look 'forward' to another week in the London urban funk with long commutes on the metro I would kill for 2 min of your fresh air 😆

[@richardhanley3411]

See you just showed us all that when life gives you lemons not only do you make lemonade you go for the apple and oranges too. You always work with what you got and make it work for you. Anyway you and your pup have a great wonderful time and the very best of life to you both. Peace out

[@d-v-cez9152]

One word: MOMENTUM. Never lose it 👍🏻😊

[@knightsatin]

hi Alyssa so impressed with the way you have designed and decorated your home. Your positive outlook and determination shine through on your videos 😀

[@richardduede9767]

Victor Frankl survived the worst of horrors against humans. He is a champion.

[@lorimccall4798]

Girl!! I am SO BEYOND PROUD OF YOU!! We have messaged each other.. EVERYTHING you're doing.. Is my goal! Keep doing YOU girl! U make me smile seeing how happy you are.

[@tamarakelli687]

Girl you do amazing videos. Love the energy and the pups! But please ignore the truly crazy creeps on here. Make sure you have "protection" and that will take care of them if they go snopping around.

[@CoriNagy]

I love your cottage!! The guest room turned out so cozy. 💕

[@sburns3814]

I love the guest room redo! You nailed the coziness of the home!

[@MrMidnightMatt-]

Haven’t seen you in my feed for a while. It’s good to take a break from the Doom & Gloom once in a while. I’m glad you’ve finally settled in on a new chapter of happiness.

[@hypercriticalbrit]

Gutted I missed the live show but ecstatic to see you post content for me to gobble up lol. The perfect blend of beauty, brains/philosophy and adventure. As always….I adore you Lyss ❤

[@CousinTito]

I love how your channel has expanded to home decor, clothing/fashion and also keeping up with the bus! You look more happy now with a sense of purpose!! Since it's getting a lift, will you be upgrading the bus to AWD/4x4 in the future?

[@amberv.3403]

Thank you for another great video and spreading positivity and light. I love how the room turned out you have a great eye!

[@philwhitney1108]

Nice looking old 4 Runner if it's solid enough/rust free it might be worth repairing or replacing the motor unless your set on something different. Thanks for the heads up on Threadsup - Very smart shopping! Your renovation work on the historic place looks great it can be a lot of work but it's certainly worth it! Look forward to seeing the upgrades to the old bus. Always a bonus to have a nice rig ready to go - you're living right! 👍

[@AuthorMiracles_on_a_Rooftop]

Thanks for sharing your love, good energy, and beautiful words of wisdom! Always love to hear and see your happiness!

[@seviregis7441]

You’re house is coming along so beautifully, very quaint and romantic. God bless you, your pup, your home, and your bus.

[@sweetsongstress7398]

Life is one big treasure hunt, and we’re just getting started🤩⚡️⚡️⚡️❤️‍🔥

[@leslovesliberty1776]

Alyssa, I've been watching since your original Lucky bus with your ex before you even rescued Rio & I just want to say I'm sooo happy & proud of you for the beautiful life you've created for yourself. Thanks for bringing us all along! 🙏💯❤

[@DE-cz8ei]

love watching your videos! you seem so at peace where youre at and that is a good thing. we all need peace in our lives, thankfully i think you have found yours! keep posting, i love to watch!!

[@artistsmeetfilm6491]

Hope those comments below have nothing to do with commenting about being a neighbor, I wasnt lying either Im a CO res, been here a long time, know the area well as do most people who live here, especially those who work in my industry as we are usually nomads/exoplorers as we need to make a living so sorry if I freaked everyone out. Secondly I merely like watching this channel as Lyss reminds me a lot of myself, as an artist we all know the industry can be tough to make a living at your passion and you will always find life up and down its just how it is but sometimes you take baby steps through the storms, sometimes the wise words of a stranger can motivate and you end up in a better place when you least expect it and then everything ends up so worth it. The community of KZbin got me through the fight of my life and without it I would have given up, lying sick in a bed, but the knowledge here kept me going and Im gradually winning that fight. People like Lyss, and others who go through difficult times, maybe they just have a talent and share their skills they inspire the rest of us to not give up and I have much admiration for those on here that share their lives so the rest of us dont feel like we are incapable of changing our own lives, to overcome our own obstacles because dreams are important. Its an amazing place for people to lift each other up out of difficult times or encourage hidden talents we didnt know we had. As far as the crazies out there Im not one of them, but by all means do be safe.

[@davidthorne4943]

Alyssa. That looks like a pretty clean 4 runner. The engine can't be blown if your driving it. The brakes shouldn't be a big deal to get repaired. There has to be a mechanic out there somewhere that you can trust. Shouldn't be a big deal get get that running correctly.

[@glennpaul9173]

Along with the mods on the bus you should get a locker or limited-slip installed on the rear axle.

[@davidwayne9982]

Darlin-- I don't know if that 4runner has lockers or not-- but considering where you are--- if it doesn't , I'd have lockers put in front and rear!!! Makes a WORLD of difference-- and get an air compressor- and AIR DOWN if the snow is bad.. drop pressure to around 12 pounds.. then air back up when the road is clear..

[@quinjesuis9187]

Yep, putting your money into the bus is the best way to go because it is your first home and when you go places it's your home away from home, definitely a good investment, indeed 🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍

[@jtunstall36]

Such a great state of mind. Keep fighting and keep your head up. You got this! 🤙

[@JamesBond-vg6wz]

Always look forward to catching up with you, wherever u are..i appreciate all these videos and I appreciate u..Cheers lyss 👍🍺🧡

[@REGRETLYSS1]

Always great to see your comments JB. Thank you for always being here ♥

[@victoriaaydelott6187]

I LOVE your attitude! I come to your page when I want wholesome, independent, girl power inspo You’re the best!

[@stephenalexanderfrancisday2611]

I deeply..DEEPLY feel and relate to how you are taking on the beauty of life’s mysteries, staying open and processing all that happens in a non conventional way. There is so much magic..in everything. I think we have the potential to have some wonderful conversations on this vast subject. I call myself a hobo of the ether. PS - I love your dog.

[@deastover898]

That is the exact bed I have been looking for. Simple and clean. But in a full or double. I love it. It looks so cozy and inviting. Every single piece looks so meaningful yet simple. And the Mayan stool is just… you out did yourself. It is a great start for going forward. Oh and those pants are awesome. Just might have to snag me a pair. You have the best of both worlds with the bus and the house. So smart. I can’t wait for the redesign on her. Good luck and enjoy every moment. I am living through your experience for the moment. My time will come ❤

[@davesi56]

Love the scenery where you live!

[@ericnorman7027]

I just saw your last story on IG, please don't listen to that person Alyssa, you are a great woman, with an amazing heart, you can see it and feel it in every video, that person clearly doesn't know what an amazing woman is, sorry you have to put up with that kinda crap😔bothers me to hear that someone , or multiple people think that way of you, you really seem to be one of the nicest most down to earth woman I've ever seen 😊🙏

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great job Alyssa bedroom looks amazing

[@hahaha9076]

You drop facts so softly and appealingly. Horses would so love you. You have that whisperer vibe. I've been trying to figure out how to move forward. Just look left. I'm so glad to drop back to your channel. Oh, the trim. Could you live with the layers? The layers of paint speak to the incarnations the home has been through. I actually like seeing the layers you've uncovered. Jono

[@tamarakelli687]

What? 😮

[@luvyou-baby]

tip: if you believe in energy healing. you should do energy cleansing to the second hand clothing & furnitures you got. either with an energy practitioner or sagging your home., maybe using crystals. wishing you positive vibes & good luck

[@tip2k1]

I simply love your "can do" outlook in this episode.

[@guntherslowing6089]

I love how you have transformes your hause, Beautiful environments very colorful❤❤❤

[@karenb1627]

Guest room is so cozy. Love the linen. I'd switch the chair and wicker bookcase spots for flow. Not a critism. Just what my eye said. Dresser is so cute.

[@tdhawk167]

Hang in there, girl. I'm at this spot too. Oh, yes, here's to some determination, some shifting, and growing, and healing, and celebrating!!💕

[@bobculhane4746]

Never get tired of the videos of your home 🏡. It's so beautiful love the guest bedroom, love your decor the corner shelf is awesome to display things and space efficient. Love the Victorian chair and old Mayan table. 😍 Your positive attitude will get you back on track 👣. Love the new pants and tops.

[@cateb.l5343]

Love the guest room. Especially the green bedding.

[@KS51ABCAN]

You look fabulous in those clothes! I like the way you have your home arranged and the way it looks, it looks so warm and inviting. I really enjoy your videos and your upbeat philosophical conversations.

[@peter.g6618]

Hi Lyss. Great job on decorating of your guest room. Looks beautiful. Those outfits on you looked so good. Beautiful lady. I think whatever you wear you would look good in. It must get quite lonley living on your own all that way from anyone. Still, I bet its lovely and peaceful. Great video. Until the next. Take care. ❤🙏👌👍😃🪚📌🔨

[@calefharris]

Love the sound of wind. Even the sky out there. I'm from Rhode Island. The old cold grey. It looks lite there. If that makes any sense.

[@donnawisner1481]

Loved the way the quest room turned out. I'm a reseller and thrifting is what I do. It's the mist fun job I've ever had and oh so many treasures to be found. TY

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Alyssa

[@rayfreeman2305]

Those clothes you bought look great and you look great in them, what a beautiful lady you are. I also discovered some time ago that you are really smart and a great momma to Rio. Your mind is open to a lot of different things and that is super. That chair is so special for that room. You are wearing one of your new tops!!

[@robappleton180]

Great job Alyssa, looks great, I love the upcycling.

[@rfleming7883]

Did someone say 'blown engine'? Truck seems ok except when backing. A different truck costs tons of $$$$. Perhaps the one you have now is sufficient to do the job. Good luck.

[@nancyrojas1926]

Love watching all the changes your making ...I love your bus miss seeing you on your adventures but having fun watching you grow.

Hi Stool is a mishmash of a wooden stool base from any period between 1930-50’ and a circular is it embossed leather? roundel ! The roundel might have been purchased in a Peruvian, Columbia’s or even Mexico or similar market 1980’ - 1990’. It isn’t an original whole piece of furniture. Hope this helps Flo

The flirty/sexy commercials in the middle is a major upgrade here. They don't even feel like mood-killing, random-unrelated ads. Keeps the whole magical trip going. And your beautiful green eyes are mesmerizing. 👁

[@johnsauer9067]

Great job with the guest room. Looks really inviting. Totally agree with you about NOT rushing decorating the walls. I thought maybe you'd buy that fringe jacket (so freakin' cool late 60's vintage) that you saw in that thrift store. Notwithstanding, you have great fashion sense.

Can't wait to see Monarch after her makeover!

[@kimyoungblood6711]

Love the room. I relocated from CA. To Tennessee. Had to buy everything because of losing everything in a fire, so I have been thrifting to decorate and love how it's coming out.

Blown motor ? Have you checked the mass air flow sensor ,oxygen sensor , air filter ? It also could be a clogged catalytic converter causing loss of power. If it's blowing white smoke from the tailpipe , it's a sign of a bad head gasket . Coolant will also be in the oil.
