I've been following more European channels and , woah, learning about other's cultures and getting excited at how other places appreciate and care more for the environment is a breath of fresh air. Especially compared to the culture here in the US! Thank you for sharing your life with us. ❤😊

[@stephaniemtz2415]

Tell us some suggestions!

My English is bad, I don't understand everything, but I like watching. It would be great if it had subtitles

[@ecofriendlia]

You can click the subtitle icon. Then you get english subtitles. You can also use auto translate, then you can choose a language and KZbin translates it for you. That ususally works well 😊

[@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook]

Its never too late to improve English/ anything. I am re- learning things as in in my life and I am over 25yrs old

[@gladys.glad.]

Thank you for being here for us Lia! I wish you all the best

[@SF-zf1ik]

[@gladys.glad.]

[@martl3288]

Thanks for your wisdom and realness and hair cut is amazing

[@jasonchipmanhowlett]

i watch and listen to a lot of youtube and i think you are probably my favourite. thanks for another year of honest, thoughtful assurance and inspiration! 💚

[@tricialeach1125]

Happy New Year! Loved this video. I think it’s really humble and courageous of you to accept that your businesses weren’t working how you needed them to, and that you are doing a different job. Seems like everyone projects the idea there’s only one way to be successful in sharing online content, and I appreciate you being honest about the benefits of working for someone else. Take care, and wishing the best for you and your family in 2024!

[@9FatraBbits]

Sensible. I’m glad you enjoyed your travel experiences. Fresh year ahead with a fresh shift in priorities is always beneficial. I want to get back to reading. All the best to you.🐇❤️

[@teresa5007]

It's been a couple of years now Lia and I'm so glad I found your channel. I love visiting you in your room. I miss your cooking videos. I love to go travelling with you and on your walks and bike rides in the forest and your swimming in the lake. I think you're a wonderful person. I wish you happiness and good health in the new year. ❤🍝🍷🍰🍀

[@bethstratton3391]

Wishing you a very Happy 2024 Lia. I love that you are more contented in your life these days and are getting back to a good work life balance. Enjoy whatever comes next!

[@elizabethdejurewood]

Wonderful video as always. I appreciate your reflections, the calm tone of your videos, your authenticity. A very happy new year to you.

[@dalemurchie2070]

I’m reading ‘A Long Way…’ too at the moment. I think you would enjoy Becky Chambers ‘Monk & Robot’ novellas. They are very chill and philosophical too. Something you said earlier in the video about spending time doing nothing instead of needing to complete tasks so much had me thinking about what ‘purpose’ we have.

[@IngerSk]

I will also read The taste of blue light soon 💙

[@Isabel_K]

❤ your Videos 😊

[@moonsidecafe]

Thank you Lia! You have given me such great information and motivation to live simply ❤

[@MelinaPPB]

Oh! Another forrest green lover here, too!! Hah ❤🙋🏽‍♀️

[@LenoreReonel]

Thank you for your wonderful videos and being here on KZbin 🥰 always a pleasure to watch about your life and ideas. I consider you to be a success when it comes to content creation, honestly, because if you are authentic with what you do and happy with your life and not compromising with your beliefs - it's a true victory :)

[@zerowheeler]

Good luck with the job, 🍀☘️🍀there are so many obstacles to making and selling online, ruins the fun side.

[@anaeu292]

i absolutely adooore ur videos! You are amazing!

[@loreenhoffmann7158]

So proud ❤

[@agatka1011]

Thank you Lia!❤

[@juliereads]

I am reading the book you received for the gift exchange right now (since a long time) in the french translation! It is very good!

[@renegaderese]

Great video!

[@diegofrota]

Tnx for you videos, they are inspiring! I wish you a happy new year!

[@CS-xl9xv]

I just bought a book by Becky Chambers today. I read Psalm for the wild build last month and got the second book in that series today. Let us know how you like her book 📚

[@tricialeach1125]

Psalm for the Wild-Built was one of my faves from last year. I also really like the one you got for Christmas ​​⁠@ecofriendlia ​​⁠- you may know but it’s part of a series. I’ve read 2 so far and really enjoyed them!

[@lizasoliman723]

suggestion for your "green" moment: instead of keeping the entire book, transpose the passage into a notebook/phone notes ?

[@ema-b1h]

❤ hart breaks and growing haa...

[@beans11.11]

Lia, do you wear this sweatshirt in the warm taupe, cedar brown, or a different color by colorful standard? I’m interested in getting some of their products!

[@ecofriendlia]

This is cedar brown! As a rule, I would say all their colors are a bit cooler in real life than they look online but of course, it also depends on your screen 😊

[@alonememe]

Lia, this link leads to main page on Colorful Standard. Which sweater exactly do you have? Women Classic Merino Wool Crew, Organic Oversized Crew or Women Light Merino Wool Crew? And what size do you have?

[@ecofriendlia]

I have the male classic organic wool crew or something. And I have XS 😊

[@alonememe]

@@ecofriendlia Thanks ☺

[@BlindIntoTheSun]

Just curious to know what type of social work requires wearing slippers 😅 I’m a social worker at a special needs school, but I can wear whatever I want ☺️

[@ecofriendlia]

We just don't wear the shoes we wear outside at the workplace. So it's either socks, slippers or other shoes 😊 and in Germany people then usually wear slippers...

[@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook]

Throughout the years bought so many thing's, happy to let them go to charity.
