Cottage Kitchen Chat

[@katherineb6102]

Unkind people have to live with themselves. Kind people figure out how to work past them and keep creating a better world. Your world is beautiful and I appreciate that you share it with us.

[@terris7842]

Strong women are not valued as much as they should be in this world. Women’s work is not valued. You only have to look at how governments treat older single women who after a lifetime of contributions may have fallen on hard times. If we lose our footing, if we stumble….well we get left behind because we are seen as inconsequential. More power to strong women who get on with it anyway, recognised or not. Continued strength and blessings to you, Collette. 🌿💚

[@guitargirl7452]

I love your wee chats and musings on life, Mother Earth or anything. They so often mirror my own thoughts and feelings. Kindred spirits I feel. For sure zero tolerance is the way to deal with naysayers and negative comments. That's the ego mind at work for sure. Delete the comment and send a loving thought back by way of return. I always feel that closes that connection in a positive karmic way. Nice to see inside the cottage too for a bit. Your home has such a lovely energy about it. At least That's what I sense when I'm having a virtual visit. So love this channel - and it is a channel in the truest sense - a connection. Much love and blessings to you and Jack 💓xx

[@susannefahl1430]

That is absolutely true and it is not acceptable any longer.

WiseWoman Advice, "In the time of Destruction, Create Something." Thank you, Colette O'Neill for your Words of Wisdom. Lovely Bouquet you created. Flowers are food for the Soul. Regarding the unfortunate negative energy that the nasty one's sent your way, may it be composted for the betterment of All.

[@JariDawnchild]

What better way to deal with shit, right?

Beautifully said Shekeyna !!!

[@leebay6093]

Zero tolerance is absolutely the best way to handle the nasty, sad and narcissistic trolls, I’m so glad I live in a quiet little area in Tasmania and I too don’t allow nasty people to affect me.... life is way too short, I much prefer my company to be with the animals on my small farm and my garden... I learn so much off you for which I’m eternally grateful

[@66REDD66]

What a wonderful way of life.❤️ How I envy you. ❤️🌻🌺😻🐝🌸🕷

There are many unkind people in this world and it's hard not to be hurt by them. I have heaps of admiration for you and for your incredible work you've done at Bealtaine Cottage. Keep up the incredible work and stay strong.

[@kimezman8697]

My 1st time visiting with you. Enjoyed my visit.

"Expect more, in terms of behavior, from other people. Don't be so forgiving." - I love it. That's a terrific motto to live by. I loved this video Collette.

Colette, you are a comforting and soothing presence...I listen to you for your insight, but also because your voice is a balm...

[@nancyjohnson5483]

I put animals first, then myself and then others...so do I. I resonate with all you said. Thank you!

[@gloriabarnett2833]

I don’t understand how anyone could be unkind to you. May the Creator of all things bless you and protect you as you continue to follow the flow of energy that is our mother earth.

Colette, you speak to my soul. In a time of chaos, create! Blessings to you also.

Colette, you are so wise and intelligent! I agree with you about all you said. Never let the haters get to you, just ignore, delete and block them, they are not worth you time.

[@dhaniaboodoo7042]

You're a gorgeous soul Colette. Thank you for the heartfelt chat x

[@mariabyrne1954]

Love your soft Irish voice. Thank you for all you do.💕

[@SusanFreeman]

Your cottage is so very charming, and it is so obvious that your home and gardens are nurtured, loved, and thriving with your care. Please don’t be concerned by nasty people. We who are on social media often become targets for their vitriol. I pity them, pray for them, and then ignore. Hugs from Texas, Susan of Ash Tree Cottage ♥️

[@WhyteFaerie]

Loved your kitchen chat. It is so true that women need to stand strong or invariably been seen as a doormat. And it takes strength to stand for mother earth. Thanks for explaining how you nurture the trees in your care. Blessings. ❣❣❣

[@EmiliesPiano]

Would love to have more of these table chats from Bealtaine Cottage! 💕 You have such a beautiful soul. There will always be a negative force in the world that works to dim the light from people such as yourself. I'm happy you have chosen to keep shining. Sending you hugs!

[@judyhenderson7705]

Colette, I have come to enjoy your video's so much. I ordered and rec'd your book "A Cottage and three Acres" I can't tell you how much I am enjoying reading it. Please keep the video's coming and know that you truly are a blessing to the people that watch you. You are living a dream...

I have three tiny oak treas I planted in the spring in pots. They were acorns of course :) YOU are my inspiration and I am blessed to have found you.

[@careyareaparanormalenergyr9355]

We are so much of the same mind. It has taken me 64 years to learn the lessons you speak of, and more importantly, apply them ❤️

[@mysticallavish1360]

Your soul matches my grandma Alice, she also grew trees, plants, foods off all varieties and lived in her hogan weaving sheep wool rugs to support herself. She raised the sheep and lived happily alone on a desert on the Navajo reservation. She made all kinds of herbals to help heal the sick and she sang to her plants, it was magical as if the earth loved her it grew everything for her beautifully. She lived til she was 105, in her home, I miss her very much. You remind me of her, thank you for sharing your life with us all over the world. Love and much blessings to you!!! Your soul is very very beautiful 😍❤💕.

[@krisfenner4922]

So wonderful to see the photos of the Bealtaine property as you first saw it and went to buy it. It gives us a starting point and shows what a remarkable transformation has taken place in 17 years time. You have created and nurtured a very magical spot on this planet. Truly.

[@BeatrixBetwixt]

Lovely bouquet! You’re definitely right about garden work. I get great sleep after a good day working in the garden! And good for you on how you handle keyboard trolls. I really enjoy & appreciate your videos not only for the beauty of the cottage & land but for your views as well. Hugs to you & Jack💚

So lovely to see you in person Collette, you are a kind and thoughtful woman in my opinion. The knowledge and wisdom you freely share with us all is so enjoyable. Turn away from the nasty comments, they are just lonely, sad and jealous. I wish them peace. Blessed Be to you and the handsome faithful Jack. Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@cindyw7008]

What a sweet thing to do, Colette! Very few people here in the Midwest US who have cars or newer cars will ever offer anyone a ride - I even offered to pay people's gas, buy them a meal, whatever when my old car wasn't working. But most would say no, even if it was to somewhere they were going. Ireland, or you, sounds a little kinder.

[@kristinburton4953]

It's because people don't wont to know you or get involved on any level. They only want to know or help their own ilk. Strangers can remain so. :( They see you as beneath their league.

[@saundrafarr113]

Thats so sad. People hear in Ireland are much more neighbourly in general

[@theclumsyprepper]

I think it's Collette rather than Ireland in general. I used to give people lifts as well (when I had my own car, I've no room in the van now) but it's not something many people do in this country.

[@jennil7797]

Wow! I live in rural Wales. We all help each other out, car share when shopping, pick up groceries and medication for the elderly and pop in and out of each other's homes without bothering to phone first, to share tea and the compulsory Welsh cakes, No wonder my American husband prefers life here!

[@Pixiedusttina]

Absolutely gorgeous video and your words so eloquent, they are therapy.

[@myrtleholly2016]

Those daisies are insane! And your perspective on our world, very sane, indeed. Planting a tree tomorrow, while thinking of your warrior-woman's wisdom!

[@pamflorus2884]

I rarely go onto social media. I usually use messenger, since I am a very private person. I understand totally how there are ones who can be cruel and judgmental. I view your peaceful and uplifting videos to heal any negativity I might be feeling sometimes. I garden and enjoy nature in my yard so much and feel blessed to have a connection with Mother Gaia. Thank you for sharing your lovely life in Ireland. I hope to someday go there. It is on my bucket list.

Such a beautiful array of 🌳 trees. Picking flowers from the garden is a blessing. It is so easy to brighten the house with all of the many different types of greens and blossoms 🌸. I am also partial to the natural state of a bouquet. I appreciate your insight and your love for all life and all that you do in your life ♥. Thanks for sharing this information with us all.

Dear Colette, I cannot explain what a sense of peace I feel when watching your videos, I am so grateful! As to social media I am only on you tube for a good reason, the other sites are invasive & I can’t abide that. What ever you encounter w/ the trolls, they can never undermine what you’re about here. We must not, can not, give them clearance to do so. I know that I & so many others have a true appreciation for your efforts, so toss the trolls out & carry on 💕

[@mirandaenergypark5271]

Hello Colette. I've been watching your videos now for some months, always find each and every one a lovely calming experience. I enjoy the wandering through your garden, the candid nature of your commentary, and the endless examples of how you have healed your property and created a wonderful diversity of life there. Looking fwd to learning more about the new venture, the continuation of Bealtaine Cottage that you mention in today's video.

[@Suze2233]

When one makes a soulful connection with trees, one can never go back. 🌳

[@nadinemasteller1089]

I completely agree. We have 6 trees on our small property. Our neighbors don't like them because of the leaves they lose and the acorns and other seeds they drop. They have expressed a desire for us to remove them. It's never going to happen in our lifetime. Yes the leaves make for work. Live Oak leaves do not break down and compost easily. They take a very long time, so we can't compost and reuse all of them. We have to collect those we can't use and have the city take them to their compost site. But, our trees provide wonderful shade during our hot Florida long summers. It makes a big difference in our electric bills because our air conditioning doesn't have to work so hard as it would without the shade. The trees provide homes for wildlife and the nuts and seeds provide food. When we look at satellite views of our neighborhood, our property is easily picked out because of the trees. So many properties around us are treeless with lawns that are expensive to upkeep and require feeding and spraying for bugs. In other words, poison. We plant flowers and have minimal lawn that we don't treat or water. Our wildlife here in FL is struggling as it is. They need a safe haven. Our trees and flowers provide that in our small pocket. More people need to nurture nature. I've gone on too long as it is, but it is one of my big concerns.

[@maxinedefty9462]
