I'm re-reading John O'Donohue's book titled, Beauty. I gathered rosemary and lemon thyme from my garden today and made an herbal tea. Later I baked bread. I wandered around me sanctuary of a backyard where many trees and shrubs are greening up. I look for beauty everywhere because it brings me peace. Yesterday I watched the movie, The Secret Garden, and I watch videos like yours. Over the weekend I connected with all four of my adult children. I am at peace in the middle of all this Great Unknowing.

I love that book. I planted rosemary in my garden and baked a chocolate cake. Would love to bake bread but don’t know how. Love and peace to you guys. 💙

[@homebodyheaven6114]

The last few months I have returned to an old hobby of mine, quilting. Recapturing the joy of creativity using bits of fabric and thread for a gift of practical beauty.

[@jimmiepatrum]

I too, have returned to quilting. Our Church has a quilting ministry where we make quilts for nursing home residents, the sick, veterans, etc. I have found such joy in this kind of stitching after a long time away from it. I'm receiving so much more than I'm giving! God Bless You. Diane in NC

[@1928House_Washington]

I’m not a quilter but as I’m amassing an insane amount of scrap fabric and currently have lots of time perhaps quilting is an activity to take up...can one quilt by hand w/o a loom?

[@homebodyheaven6114]

Erica Lasley yes. You can’t quilt with a loom. Search utube for hundreds of lessons.

[@jimmiepatrum]

@@1928House_Washington I actually prefer to do hand quilting, but for anything larger than a baby quilt, I usually take my pieced quilt, batting, and backing to a place which has a long arm quilting machine to be quilted. The quilting is beautiful, though kind of expensive if your quilt is large. I agree with Homebody Heaven that there are many sources on KZbin to learn how to quilt by hand. Good luck to you!

I hand quilt my tops ATM, not sewing tops anymore. But have gotten my Ashford 36” loom out and weaving my hand spun yarn. Enjoying my days.

Thank you Niamh. As usual, sane and supportive ideas. I live in Spain where we are all in obligatory isolation except for essential journeys. Panic isn't going to help. Keeping calm, safe and as healthy as possible will help. May I please take this opportunity to ask everyone to stay at home as much as is humanly possible - no matter what your government is advising. This simple measure can protect you and all others in this complicated time. I wish you all the very best.

As an italian currently in lockdown (it's been more than two weeks already), thank you very much. We needed this. Here we have restrictive measures that are unpredecented for a Western democracy (police patrolling the streets to ensure you don't leave your home if not for essential reasons etc), and even if we know that it's for the best (we have about 35k cases and almost 5k deaths) it can be quite anxiety inducing. It's becoming harder and harder to keep my mental health in check. Thank you for providing a much needed moment of calm :)

Best of luck there! Hope you find a rythm and stay sane and healthy. I feel that we (the rest of Europe, I’m Dutch) could do more to help. So this is my teeny tiny contribution to that. We’re not yet in lockdown but today there was a flood of messages by officials to our citizens to play it by the rule (1,5m distance). The weather was great and people didn’t take it seriously enough yesterday 😕 Hope it works. My parents are well into their ‘80s, so I don’t see them.

My daughter was two weeks into her first job when she had to stop practising as a massage therapist, and start practising social distancing, like everyone else. Now that she's home so much, we have started clearing out cupboards, and stumbling across so much memorabilia.. stuff we'd forgotten about that makes us laugh, and reminisce, and just be. We never would have found the time for this and now a daunting task of decluttering has turned into a task we relish every day, and I will be forever thankful for this time together. May we all find peace.

Being an Indian, I too am quarantined with my family in my home. We are mostly spending time together, praying to get over it soon, praying for the essential care providers who are dealing with this crisis being in the frontline! But somewhere amidst this, I am finding some positivity... like..the AQI is decreasing, the rat-race has suddenly paused, we are thinking more about the society than about our careers and professions. I hope this good going remains even after this Pandemic ends. Prayers for all my fellow humans in every part of world! And yeah, take love ☺️

I am working on preparing my garden, teaching myself to sew (something I have always wanted to start learning), being in nature, being able to read more, playing musical instruments, writing, cooking. This season of life is allowing us to take a look at all of the lovely blessings we still have and the freedom to do them, even if there are things that are uncertain.

[@becomingadreamcatcher]

It really is important to choose what to focus on at the moment otherwise we can easily drown in all the horrible news, and shocking numbers, panic, and fear.

[@killersister596]

Hello Niamh, I like the message of this video, it's we're all connected. And we can use this special time to look after ourselves and others more. Also I find the term "social distancing", which is often used nowadays, irritating. It should called "physical distancing" instead. Because what we all can learn in this special time, is to be there for one another. We're in the same boat. People here in Germany cheer for the ones that keep up their work for society, such as doctors, nurses, people who work in supermarkets.. This is a time of oneness. We're not separated. Never. Stay well, dear Niamh and thanks again for your wonderful videos and much love for all! 💞☀️

In the spirit of knowing how connected we all are, today I made six face masks to be given to a local nursing home. I plan to make 25. And then with all of this, I want to get back to my most creative hobby, Watercolor painting. This is what calms me the most, keeps my hands busy, and takes my mind off the present.

To make myself a routine, I make a cup of tea every morning, and have an hour of outdoors time in the afternoon (as spring is still chilly here) after my work-from-home, just to get some sun. And as someone with anxiety, I cut my reading of the news to the strict necessary : all the informations going around right now just felt too overwhelming.

Marie K. So wise. The news can overwhelm in seconds. Outdoor time is so valuable too x

There's times I feel that I'm starting to stress I go sit in my garden. All my raised beds are empty right now because the weather has been crazy here. I sit and look at all the beds and plan which bed is growing what. Which pot will have what herbs. I added extra beds this year to grow more fresh food not just for hubby and me, but most importantly for the children.

[@FairylandCottage]

Lacy Hay wonderful to have raised beds in the garden. So special x

[@lacyhay9022]

@@FairylandCottage yes. I have a bench sitting under a tree near my raised beds. It was supposed to be a dwarf plum tree, but I think it's a dogwood tree. I love watching the bees buzz around the flowers, I might add bee keeping to my list of outdoor activities. My kids love the taste of fresh honey.

[@melissaoleary8196]

I'm planning my gardens too. It's a magical place.

[@rebeccapayton2080]

I am taking more time with how I speak with others. Making sure what I say is a reflection of how I feel. Not being mean of course. But slowing down conversations. Also finally learning how to cook. Keep up the great videos!

[@wangarimuriithi8748]

I too I'm trying to be intentional in my words and deeds without causing offence. However, I have to really work on myself. During this social distancing, I've discovered that I am not as patient as I thought I was....and I can really be judgemental. (Always told myself I was fair minded) However, I am glad that I've discovered these things about myself and although I cannot change overnight. Becoming aware of these traits has also made me more conscious about trying to change for the better. I'm reading more scripture, making an effort to consume only positive or character building material (discovered Stoicism). Not easy but I'm confident I will get to where I want to be. In the meantime I ask God to intervene during these moments as they are all opportunities to improve and better myself. Good luck to both of us. Niamh God bless you and may you continue making these calming videos.

Calm is always important and healthy, but you are right...it is paramount right now. Every night before I go to sleep I consciously think of at least 3 things that went well during the day that I am grateful for. It puts me in a state of calm and gratitude before I drift off to sleep. Thank you for your lovely videos, and messages that we can all ponder and use. 💜

I have been walking/exercising every day as my boss sends me videos to do at home. I've been enjoying prayer and reading the bible even tho before I was struggling through. And I'm learning that as antisocial as I think I am, I really enjoy/need company.

[@user-hr4cj5ok2p]

Love the message here!♥️ I live in a small town in Wisconsin and as of now my daily life is the same (my employer is still open and operating, which I am thankful for) I’m an introvert naturally so I don’t really go out much, funny because I had all these travel plans for this year, Canada, United Kingdom etc...but of course it’s all been cancelled. Recently I have started back drinking more then I’d like, but now it’s time to focus on the good, healthy things that life has to offer. We all will get through this together.♥️🌏

I have had so much stress in my life for years and am afraid that it has made me physically sick to some extent. Am so glad that I found you. Thank you. Charleen from Scottsdale, Arizona, USA

[@FairylandCottage]

Hi Charleen, I’m glad to hear you find nourishment in the videos. Stress is a major cause of illness but it is never too late to turn it around. DrGlasser talks about the link with physiology and psychology in his book Choice Theory which may be of interest. So too does Dr Gabor Mate. I have learnt so much from their work.

[@lisag.6599]

Since we can't get to Mass because churches are closed, I've been watching it online, and not only on Sunday. I really benefit from it. I'm finding podcasts which are encouraging and uplifting; also we are going to have more time for starting the garden, so we're saving yogurt containers for seed-starting.

[@sharonstuebi8181]

Im so grateful for you voice of reason. Life has certainly changed. Trying to stay positive in isolation. Talking from my balcony and my window, and of course messenger. Taking 5000iu of vitamin D3. Gargling with warm salt with 2 drops of 5% iodine to a liter of filtered boiled water, twice a day. Drinking hot herbal tea every hour. Trying to get used to not haveing my family pop in and out all day and cooking the evening meal for everyone I live across the garden from one sons family and my other son lives four houses away. But the martial law doesn't permit mingling. If i need help i have to sit on the balcony while they attend what i need We ate told to stay one Llama distance at all time ( i live in Peru 😜 ) so trying to stay positive and grateful. I do have food stores for ~ 8 months.

[@themonkeypuzzle]

It's so interesting to hear how things are around the world. Thank you. Martial law! We are not there in Canada yet. We went for a drive and to take our dogs out after dark last night and our town was like a ghost town. Very eerie. Most people are being very sensible, though one friend's boss is trying to keep their accountants office open, even though the tax deadline has been extended. She is telling him she is not going to go in any more. I'm glad your family is at least nearby. I'm going to be remembering about the llama when I go grocery shopping today. 🦙😊 Love from Canada to Peru. (Look how similar our flags are!) 🇨🇦 🇵🇪

(from France) Anxiety growing especially on the evening, when the children are sleeping and I have nothing to do with myself but wandering on so-called social networks, frightening networks I have to say. These days I am waiting for your so calming videos, I need it to reduce stress and remind me I have better to do : reading (starting reading in English LM Montgomery, soothing ++++), journaling, praying, enjoying the silence of the town... Thank you so much for being there these days, thank you.

[@FancyRavenmoon]

Thx. Peacefully and calm is what we all need more of. I love how your part of my choice of voices i call it. I saw your garden. Are you going to grow things you eat? Im so excited to see. I keep calm by cleaning spaces. New spaces that my husband created in storage areas outside. We have large spaces near are horses. Tac rooms and sheds. They need organizing. Its super beautiful after its done. But getting the man to move his stuff is hard. I just stay focused and persistent. Keeping small goals ahead of bigger ones.

[@akihicks5702]

Thank you. Good focused words. Change is guaranteed in life. As the manager for an essential service, the amount of change I have been dealing with everyday lately has increased and been stressful, but the importance of providing a calm anchor on the rough seas I am leading my team thru is paramount. To remain calm I find that it helps to focus on matching my heartbeat to a new slower rhythm and feel my center shift. Sometimes it is as easy as closing my eyes and tapping my legs with my fingers slowly winding down the rhythm until my body slows down. I just found that watching your video is another way to match my heartbeat to a slower rhythm. For those in seclusion. Time is a gift. One our modern day often strips us of. The restlessness of this isolation will hopefully pass so you too can match your heartbeat to a slower, perhaps healthier, rhythm. Blessings to all.

It started as a small group and now it’s worldwide and everyone is invited to pray as you desire. I’m a Buddhist so I pray on my prayer beads. There is something so peaceful knowing that you are one of thousands taking a moment to pray for the benefit of all man/womankind. Thank you for your peaceful videos in a world full of chaos. 🙏🏼❤️

Good evening. I was saving this video for bedtime, and it started so well. Wearing my pyjamas, put the video on, and then, a couple of minutes later, my son and dogs came running down the stairs. He was letting them out to do their business for the evening. I dont know what happened, if the dogs got the scent of a fox or something, but off they went, like big hunting dogs... (2 yorkies) And there I was in my pyjama chasing the pair.. Well, have to finish it tomorrow, and hope for better peace of mind. Stay safe! 💕 Found the dogs, happy as can be!
