I would love to hear how you managed to downsize all your belongings so successfully from the old house. You seem a lot more minimal and intentional now and I would love to know if that transition was a challenging process for you all as a family. Thank you for this lovely video x
@racheltalbott2 жыл бұрын
Sure, I can definitely chat more about that. Personally, the hardest material item for me to part with was my piano (which would have been expensive and challenging to ship across the country). Yamahas have great resell value, and it actually appreciated in value, which was a plus. I'd love to purchase a small vintage piano here in Tennessee down the line, but I have plenty of instruments to keep me busy for the time being. It was a slow process of minimizing over the last few years/months, and then we escalated at the end to sell and donate a lot. I sold a lot on Facebook market place, and garage sales.The new owners purchased a lot of our furniture, which was suited for that size home, and other large outdoor items on the property. The kids brought everything they really love, and we each chose our favorite items, so everything we brought fit into one Pod and both of our cars which we drove out. Ultimately, we are very thankful to have items we love most, and that the transition went as smooth as it could have.

💕OPEN TO READ- This is a great time to prepare ourselves to tune inward, get cozy, and spend more time indoors. As the weather changes, we can take that opportunity for a time of reflection and gratitude. Spiritual and emotional shifts may take place during this time, and having grace, compassion & patience with ourselves is crucial. Personally, I can be very affected by time change, weather, lack of sunlight etc., so finding a seasonal routine is very important. I’m not as outwardly ambitious during cold months, but I am captivated by the fall and winter, and a unique version of my creativity comes alive. It’s very important to stay in tune with the seasonal shifts and focus on appropriate self care. Spring comes, and we can awaken slowly and bring out the new, but fall teaches us that it’s ok to let go, shed the old, and spend more time inward. Here are some things to keep close during the fall and winter transition: 1. Routines - Rest & recover. Quality food, exercise, deep breathing, stretching. This will add value to everything you do. 2. Being present - making coffee, walking the dogs, time spent with family, self care, staging beautiful spaces, prayer & meditation, educational podcasts. 3. Creating a seasonal vision board - recipes, visuals, goals & ideas. 4. Warming your body In the morning - Light movement, pilates, stretching, walking. 5. Fall bucket list/planning outdoor adventures - hikes, fishing, carnivals, fairs, farmers markets, thrift stores. 6. Warm & cozy- Fall teas, coffees, warm stews, soups & hearty recipes 7. Creativity - journaling, crafts, knitting, sketching, practicing music, cooking, sewing, quilting, winter photography & capturing nature. 8. Hibernation period- Prepared, aware, & present. Not letting seasonal depression/ hormonal cycles take us off guard. Journaling and being completely tuned into thoughts, feelings, and sensations in the body. Listening to music, or a good podcast. This may feel a bit uncomfortable because we are so used to being busy. It almost feels wrong to slow down. It can feel a bit lazy. We can mimic the seasons and find that balance within our own lives. 9. We don’t need rush, or compare. There is no one exactly like you, or anyone with your exact story. Take the time and space you need to heal and create habits that will better your life and the lives of those around you.

Hi Rachel, I think your going to love feeling the change of seasons which is quite different from where you lived in California. Living in the northeast can be rough in the winter with snow, but the spring, summer and fall are wonderful. I also love cooking stews, soups, brisket and baked goods, so please do share your recipes. I am going to miss seeing the horses that were your neighbors and of course all the other animals too. With all that's going on in the world I'm looking forward to hibernating for a few months this winter.

There is a book that I read many years ago called A Year of Mornings. The story behind how it came to be is an amazing one. It's a photography book that two friends created. They would send a pix to one another before noon every day and neither one knew what the other was sending. I fell in love with this idea and so I challenged myself to do the same over the course of what ended up being the best summer I ever had. Happy Fall 🍂

After watching your video it really got me thinking about the point you made to adjust to the seasons. I just realized that I am know that get very affected by the seasons. I am much of the fall and winter person especially since I live in Arizona. I noticed that my depression occurs during the summer here. Growing up my family we got to the woods or vacation back in Poland for the summer. And since I got married my husband is a city boy and so that means very few trips into nature. So now with two small kids it’s hard for me to go alone camping and I am stuck waiting for the summer to end so I can truly be outside.

I've always admired that you had a music room. I have played the piano since I was a little girl. In my thirties I finally got a baby grand. When I moved up to the mountains in North GA 20 years ago, it had to come with me but it's not in a separate room. It actually takes up my family room. 😆I liked your separate music room and I bet you miss that. I actually in the past 2 years play my electric keyboard more than my piano. It's amazing how much rich sound the electric keyboards produce nowadays. My piano is way past time for a good tuning. One of my favorite things to do is to looking in thrift and antique stores for really old sheet music and play it on the piano.
