Can Thailand Heal Me?

[@nicolapress8416]

This video resonated with me too! I am so pleased you have had the courage to make yourself a priority, to heal and really enjoy life. What a beautiful part of the world you live in❤ My husband and I are seriously considering moving to Thailand. We've found your videos so helpful and informative 😊 Hubby says we deserve an adventure! Let the planning begin😊

[@beinharmony]

Thank you for sharing your healing journey with us. It really touched me deeply. May you continue to heal and find peace in your life. 🙏

[@wetakeauthority2460]

So many of us (who have commented) can relate to all you so lovingly shared. May God continue to 'restore the years 'the locusts have eaten' is my prayer for you! You made the right choice...I may do the same.

[@kimberleyssandbox]

Thank u.. still struggling with it, but it's better day by day!!!

[@louvidify]

Thanks so much for sharing Kim, for sharing. I have been coming to same conclusion about finally living MY life now. Also wanting to move to Hua Hin. Give yourself grace as it will take some time to adjust. I wish you a loving journey to peace and joy. ❤

[@kimberleyssandbox]

Thank you so much. It's definitely challenging, and I take it day by day bit keeping positive and focused on all the good!!! I hope you feel peace and find a way to break free yourself. Take care of you.

[@markreed398]

Kim, you are very inspiring, setting boundaries are difficult, but so important, I wish only the best for you in your coming adventures 🙏😊

[@kimberleyssandbox]

Thank you, Mark. I'm just doing what I need to do to have a happy life with healthy souls around me. Thanks for joining me on my journey!!!

[@tonygomez884]

Kim, I've watched many videos most be light hearted or informational and a few have been life changing. You hit the nail on the head I see so many people living for the needs of others as I have too. I had a talk with my wife about 8 months ago and told her I need a change after my mom had passed. I want the freedom now to do the things that will make me happy. We too plan on moving Thailand soon. Thanks so much for sharing what many of us needed.

[@kimberleyssandbox]

I'm sorry for your loss of your Mom... I lost my brother a few years ago, and that was a catalyst for me to make changes. Hang in there... it will get better in time but at the same time, we have to get used to the new normal. That feeling of loss affects us forever.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Great video sharing the emotional benefits of making the tough choices. Love you Kim!!!

[@kimberleyssandbox]

Thank you hun!! I'm breaking out of it!!! Love u and thank you for your support 💗

[@RogerHill-g3h]

Very well-articulated. It takes alot of strength to put this on your KZbin. I watched a movie once about 2 guys visiting Thailand that both had their own reasons for visiting. The title is: Changeland. I personally believe that it is in fact Changeland. You could not have picked a better place to heal.

[@kimberleyssandbox]

It truly is a magical place. Last night, Dave and I took a motor bike ride... as the sun set, it was purples and orange colors everywhere.... absolutely beautiful with palm tree shadows in the foreground. My heart was so full... I felt amazing!!! It's a good place to be. :)

[@randyirvine5858]

Good on you Kim for speaking out & adjusting your life for peace & gratitude to what's important. You can't pour from an empty cup. Your health is no 1 priority. Love your new garden & those Golden Canes will look excellent.🙏💪

[@kimberleyssandbox]

Thanks, Randy!!!

[@michsand]

I feel like I could have made the same video. I am 59 and have had to do the same in the last 2 yrs. My whole life since a child has been toxic and controlled by others. No more, it's a challenge and extremely difficult. I wish you well in your journey ❤.

[@kimberleyssandbox]

I'm so sorry you have experienced this type of thing in your life. It's suffocating, but you can break free from it!!!

[@karenthomas9506]

I'm also 59 & feel exactly the same. I wish you all the best ❤

[@szolo8766]

Hi, I saw few videos after it appeared on the KZbin algorithm because I am considering in moving to Thai in the possible future and was looking around your areas. I thought this one I think was an emotional video, coming from your heart, very positive in the end . I thought whether I should comment or not but since you mentioned a couple of my interest anyways I will. Mt.Fuji is Amazing I’ve gone climbing on the top 7 times (I’m in Japan) and if the weather is nice you’re going to see an amazing sunrise( if that is what your going for). Going down returning tough, you feel like you’ll never doing again but the next year I was coming back too see the sun rise again. That how beautiful it is. About your story I was watching , which probably resonates to many other people too, even to me in a certain aspect ( is probably why I’m also considering to move), living for your self is not being selfish, ( in fact people misunderstand the word selfish, and some how now days it has a meaning of being non altruistic) selfish just means putting your priority first. It’s described well in the book of Ayn Rand’s “The virtue of selfishness”, starting from its definition how people changed its meanings. In case you are interested. I had a farewell my friend leaving for Spain 3 days ago and that was the book I gave him. I know I’m nobody to be telling you what to do m, or how to feel, but at least I felt you are doing the right thing for yourself and you don’t need to feel any guilt about it. I don’t think people will comment negatively about it but anyways as you said, don’t need to mind those people. Anyways I’ll be enjoying watching your channel and I hope the Mt.Fuji experience will be joyful to you(maybe is not the first time, I just assumed)!!

[@kimberleyssandbox]

Thank you so much for sharing and responding! Yes, for sure. My problems are not necessarily special or different from anyone else, but it sure feels good to hear positive feedback and reassurance that I'm not alone in it! I love to read and will check out your book recommendation!!! Dave and I are so excited to head to Japan... any other must do things you would suggest? We are planning to come back early next year and do some skiing!!! Are you planning retirement soon or choosing to relocate?

[@Walt-ck5qn]

You do what you have to for yourself! You are Priority No. 1! You can't help people who won't help themselves, a losing battle. Life is too short; you're only given so much time and you should spend it on yourself. It's a tough lesson I had to learn a long time ago. Good luck in your life's quest and adventure.

[@dianekeller5390]

I really got to reflect on my own life while listening to you. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you , you are a beautiful lady, and inspiring. It is a wonderful journey, discovering who you are, not as a wife, or a mom, or a friend. Just you!!! Thank you

[@kimberleyssandbox]

Thanks so much... once my kids left and empty nest set in, it's been an adjustment... but getting back to the things that I love, hobbies, and some good fun has been amazing!!! I'm not a victim of my life, but a complex byproduct of it. ;)

[@bobbymommychiyo6302]

I know exactly how you feel Kimmy...hugs

[@rsanders1569]

Wow. That was real stuff. The courage to be this open and honest is amazing. My first trip to Thailand is July 11th. My goal is to retire Jan 25'. I myself feel so guilty about it. My parents are old with failing health and I feel like am the parent now. But I feel like I'm starting to emotionally rot inside. I'm a person with a disability and I need to focus on my health again and especially my own mental health. Thanks for your vlog. It was very helpful. Peace and I wish you the best.

[@kimberleyssandbox]

I know my problems are no different to most of us in my age group but feels good to chat about it. Everyone sees our videos and may think "oh wow... what an easy great life" abroad, but it comes with challenges and difficulties. In the end, you've got to make a decision that helps maintain some level of health and well-being.

My goodness Kimberly! This really resonated with me! Me and my family are in the process of moving to Hua Hin from the Uk and it’s incredible how much of your video just caught me off guard and really struck a chord! Makes me realise that although we have a multitude of reasons to make the move the one you have discussed is a biggy for us! Thank you for being brave and sharing this with us. James @ kohtime

I'm ready to make a move and do something drastic......but I can't leave my sweet MJ my dog. How can I move there and bring her?

[@kimberleyssandbox]

Hi Jill... I'm so sorry about the loss of your husband. Some things happen that impact us so significantly that we are forever changed. They can be a catalyst though for positive changes. I felt the same as you regarding my dog... I had to bring my dog with me. It was rather expensive to have a company handle it so I decided to figure it out myself! I did a series of 3 videos on the process when I first started this channel. It totally can be done!!! Message me any time with questions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ravVo2iwobKhl5Ysi=E8QTFVL8nP46H-5K

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

seems a pretty common thing to change life around in the 50's. I made a lot of poor decisions early in life and am trying to get my sh!t together now, at 61. Live my life without guilt and do the things that I need to do for me. 3 failed marriages, the guilt of being a crappy mother, and no financial direction made my last 10 years a sinking black hole even with a good paying job. Probably what draws me to the temptation of travel and discovery. I make some videos that my family will probably never see, but as legacy for my redemption, someday. I have detached myself from the people that used me to dump all their problems. I have a couple of friends that vent, but this was different. Like you said they vomited all their problems and never asked me what was going on in my life. And the funny part is that they felt slighted when I said no more....

[@kimberleyssandbox]

It's ok to advocate for yourself because when it comes down to it, if you don't care for you... no one else will either. 🤷‍♀️ These days, I'm about balance... I help when I can but I'm no longer a bleeding sieve!

[@Robert8455]

Good for you Kimberly. Life is short. We don't know when our last day will be so be happy. Good to remove yourself from relationships that are not mutually beneficial. Maybe just maybe that there will be some growth on the dumpers to realize what they are doing but then again they may never realize it. Don't over think things though. Be well, be happy.

[@kimberleyssandbox]

Thank you, Robert. This has been going on for so long. It's definitely apparent that there will be no change in those set in their ways. I'm thankful that I can at least bend and adjust.

Truth

[@jpsabbey]

Pls excuse my spelling and punctuation!...Ive had a few!...BUT i switched to your channel as soon as i saw you had one. I feel your message, and admire your passion!...We are trying to get away from very similar situations here in Australia and wondering within ourselves , or at least i am , whether "thailand" can save me "us"...I feel its a leap of faith, knowing that "we always take the weather with us"...But i have learnt that instinct and some wisdom always leads us to the next phase of "the game". Be reasured that your desisions have led you to another place, another opportunity , another incredible joy, just like when you fealt your first flush of joy. Jason 🦘

[@kimberleyssandbox]

Glad to have you with me here, Jason! Certainly, a change in environment is helpful but with that, a change in mindset is crucial... definitely a commitment that I daily remind myself of. It can be done, but it's like reprogramming... takes time 😞

[@jpsabbey]

@@kimberleyssandbox I hear you!...Chin up , You're doing well. Its your time now 🕊🥂

[@Biotrog]

Healing and taking time for yourself is crucial. Sometimes, you need to cut toxic or narcissistic people out of your life. It's time to focus on yourself and heal. I suspect you are a sensitive empath and tend to sympathize with others deeply. It can be draining, so it's beneficial to distance yourself from these people.

[@martinpeacocke8968]

Life is about the choices you make. The choices take you in a direction in your life. I think you made a good choice! Leave the white night back home in America. and enjoy Thai smiles everyday. You can't change the past so don't worry about it. Cheers!

So true... I can only move forward. It's a painful process but necessary. My spouse has been so helpful in this process. I'm so thankful for him!

Thank you... Onward and upward as we say!!! I'm far from a victim of my life... stuff happened I couldnt control... not my fault, but I still feel heavy hearted over it.
