Dear Vanessa, I was so moved by your testimony. I also reside in Houston, I am 63 years old with no place to call my own. I have worked very hard my entire life and am still working when I can. My dream has always been to find a place like yours to call home. I don't have much, but maybe one day I will come across an RV I can afford. I am so very proud of you and your accomplishments. Thank you so much for being a beacon. God Bless.

I just clicked on this video & idk what it is but seeing this woman in tears & just hearing her first sentences touched my heart so deeply.

Vanessa! I was just telling my husband about you this morning and how touched I was by YOU and your story. I thought to myself, I wonder how she is doing now…. A few hours later I opened KZbin and your video popped up! Look at God! I’m in tears. Vanessa, YOU Are an inspiration… YOU are a blessing and YOU are loved! 💕

Vanessa, you are a phenomenal woman. I'm proud to see a Black woman take all the mishaps that happened in her life and tossed them away. You didn't let the toxic people in your life destroy who you are and who you have become. So many women need to hear your story because your story is your glory. You have so much peace and joy. Thank you for sharing your story. I am sharing your video with other ladies who live in domestic or abusive relationships. God bless you!🙏🏾

Beautifully Said .

[@JaniceSchneider-zn9jt]

Vanessa , I just happened to come across your story today. Your tiny home looks like it was designed by one of those professional artists! You have done a fabulous job. May God watch over you, keep you safe, and continue to bless you richly. Search the Scriptures, follow the wisdom there, and ask Christ Jesus to be your personal Savior. The peace that follows will be beyond all understanding, according to the Scriptures !!❤

[@lindasadler994]

Vanessa, I was so moved when you shared you story about your life, family and becoming functional. If you had nothing in your home the walls would still radiate beauty within because of your stunning outlook on life. Everything you have touched is a work of art. My favorite piece is the mat that states "Blessed." That word says it all. Thank you for chatting with us. Wishing you peace and happiness.

[@CarolinesCottage]

What I loved most about your video, today, is your spirit. You are a beautiful warrior. You are blessed and you are a blessing to me and to others. What you have created for yourself is nothing short of amazing, especially when I listen to your story. I am going through what I consider to be a difficult time, but nothing near what you have already beaten in life. You are an inspiration and a wake up call to me to get on the ball and get to work. You are a wonderful inspiring woman. The photography, editing, and sound qualities are superior and very professional. Not too much; not too little, and your style is presented perfectly, leaving the viewer no confusion on the decor or floor plan. (Yes I saw the two women in the painting, btw.) There in nothing not to like here. I wish you the very best in everything you do, and I would subscribe, but I did that some time ago. Love and prayers, from Carol in NJ

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

Yes I think so someone else made that observation in the comments and I agree

[@143Chelley_Chelle]

She lied in this video about her mother. There is pictures of her in her 20s- 30s an her eye was fine. Her thyroid messed up her eye, not her mom. This is not the only thing she has lied about.

[@Lumiere1018]

@@143Chelley_Chelle really? 😮 Are you sure of what you are saying? This is my first time seeing her, I was watching another video and she came up in the suggestion. When she was talking about her eye 👁 it broke my💔i am very disappointed if she is lying on her mother like that😢 and You might be right because the way she just ended that story got me thinking🤔This is serious

[@143Chelley_Chelle]

@@Lumiere1018 Yes, I am sure. Her pictures are on here for everyone to see. There is many things she lies about. I supported her for months an gave her every benefit of the doubt. She plays on peoples heart strings for money and gifts. She also uses God and his word in vain, for her gain. She will tell you people just like to stalk an hate on her but thats not true. People that are real survivors and do love God are just fed up with her lies.

Only if u knew the real Vanessa😂😂

[@ericamora1556]

Touched me to tears all she’s says is so true to break free of people no matter who and be able to live that lifestyle. I’m wanting to convert a bus for me and my kiddos to never face homelessness again. It’s a freeing feeling no one can take your moving tiny home away no matter what it is it’s yours. No landlord no neighbors if you don’t want. So nice Thank you for all your inspiration, you are a beautiful soul. I can relate so much as I’m sure so many of us can. You humanize with folks it’s refreshing on these videos. Thats why so many love you, never saw a video until now and you captured my heart. Thank you for your story and I’m so sorry for all you’ve had to endure. Forgiveness is hard I wanna despise your mama as a mama I cried for you. Some don’t realize a belt can do so much damage no matter the age and as a raged parent it can accidentally strike the wrong place or something like your case. But forgiveness is for you not her as our Father shall take care of her js. I’m sorry for the pain and I pray in Jesus name you somehow by a miracle lose the pain so you can live a better quality life Amen! ❤🙏🏼 P.S. I love the fridge how it’s disguised and how all your art is bright eye appealing and it all pulls the rooms and accents together nicely with the gold especially. I laughed bc I have that same gold can, I also like to craft and DIY things and I couldn’t agree more on how a little paint be it spray paint or whatever it goes a long way and it sure can change any space nicely.

This is what he instructed you to do today with the breath that he’s given you. You could never hurt me with lies, hate and condemnation. You follow the hate train against me and you are apart of the people that bully and harass me daily. I hope you like what God sees in you because the more you hate on me the more he’s going to bless me. What do you think your comments achieved?

@@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY yes mam he gave me the gift of discernment a long time ago.

Gorl anybody with some common sense can see that you are a scammer and you pick and choose who you can scam you prey on the vulnerable lonesome and lonely. The devil quoted scripture just like you with that twist and all. Without the few blind sheep you got following you and keeping you up through your UTube what exactly would you have. Your views and comments do not at all reflect your sub count. They way way off. What you doing over here in this thread for ain’t you got a live to tend to where you got it to where folks can’t even chat to each other it’s got to be all eyes on Tasty 👅 don’t it. Does this lady know how nasty your other channel was and how you pandered to the feeder fetish crowd? Shame on you for being the sinister minister that you are. Your own sister has called you out for your lies and ways on her own channel so there’s that. God don’t favor you over me he love folk the same.

Vanessa your camper home renovation is beautiful, it is full of creativity and clever out-of-the-box ideas making it a wonderful cozy home. You are a natural designer. I hope you have many joyous years in this home. P.S. Get a few different opinions from various doctors before you go for any eye removal surgery. Pain can often be addressed in more than one way, pain can be blockage or protection so there may be more than one option, it is just sometimes difficult to find the right doctor, treatment, and solution so don't give up b/c removal is the fastest easiest option, it should only be the last resort option. Peace and prayers to you Vanessa!

[@dfjacks8217]

I love how you let go of toxic ppl, including family, for a peaceful mind and life. I did it by asking God for discernment, I was shown in the Bible that we have spiritual and natural family, and it's a plus to have both. So, some of my spiritual family love me with God's love when some natural fam with man's love. That's when I love them from afar with a long handle spoon, and as the Bible says, dust your feet and go to the next town because they have the same God as I do, and that is written.

My favorite part of your video was your unwavering resilience!!

[@erinpennington9716]

You deserve to take an interior design class. You are amazing!

[@chriskersey1955]

Yes! AMAZING WORK!!!! WOW!!!!

[@mpoohda9474]

But why would she need a class if she already knows the craft

[@tracyscott2887]

Clearly someone needs to invest in her for an interior designer because she is GOOOOOOD! This is the most beautiful camper I’ve seen

[@62WILDCAT]

Vanessa you’re a wonderful example for people who demonstrate daily that we’re more than your circumstances. You have done a really great job. You have a new subscriber and a fan!

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

[@racquellevias9297]

WOW!!!! Talk about Black Girl Magic!!! This beautiful soul needs her own decorating show. How to decorate on a budget!!!! She is so talented!!!❤

[@chrissyespinoza4948]

Thank you for being so transparent and thank you for sharing. I came across your video and it has really touched me. I too have been a victim of abuse. I have just been left homeless with 5 babies, do to me getting out of an abusive marriage, luckily I had purchased a trailer a year back and we are able to have a roof over our heads, it’s tough and days are hard. I work like crazy to get us out of this small space and I feel so hopeless sometimes. I pray day and night and always reminding myself that god is good. My kids and I just recently started to make small improvements so that it feels more home like, thank you for sharing your journey and your positivity.

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

I am so happy you enjoyed the video happy Sunday

[@ellapantoja1645]

I started watching you a year ago. I’m homeless now. I was gifted a pop-up trailer but probably not gonna be able to use it. I’m staying in my car. You are an inspiration! What a phenomenal job you’ve done.

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

Thanks keeping you in my prayers

[@thill5108]

When you talked about childhood I thought about your painting. God is healing you. Thank you for sharing.

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

Yes he is I have been on a healing journey for years; it’s a process!!!

[@InfinitePause]

Your sense of gratitude is so authentic and refreshing in a world full of fakeness. And your home is beautiful.

[@ec9833]

Girly you did such a great job! I’m currently stuck in the “this is taking too long” & “can I really do this?” part of my camper reno after also, a very long life, thus far. Seeing your camper and hearing your story…I have some more hope! And how amazing is it that we’re speaking with our unapologetic voices, now? Brava! Keep keeping that heart warm. Keep loving yourself. 💕 It’s how we’re gonna heal and experience better than we’d ever even imagined.

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

Thanks for your kind words

[@lisaclingingtochrist5295]

You are a survivor! I pray that God continues to BLESS you! Keep your head up!!

[@kaitlynraw4899]

Hi Vanessa. I'm not usually a big fan of the gold accents and decorative things, but you did such a beautiful, classy looking redesign of your RV. I'm extremely impressed. It's so beautiful. You make me feel proud. I think what you're doing with your space and your life is pretty amazing. ❤

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

Thank you

[@lovezreal]

What I like most about this video what is your attitude your perseverance and your overcoming struggles. All of the love encouraged your masterpiece model, into a tiny home to perfection! Kudos Vanessa! Here are your flowers 💐. Take care & Be safe😊

[@merryhill4790]

Vanessa, keep living your life as a beacon of hope and light for others who are struggling. It is good that you have realized that in order to survive you must stay away from toxic people, even if you are alone some. If you have God in your life you will never really be alone. Thank you for blessing my life today.

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

Thank you for the encouragement

[@erikapayne9348]

Just a beautiful home, everyone deserves their own comfortable home. 👏🏾♥️👏🏾♥️👏🏾♥️👏🏾♥️👏🏾

[@muziklvrnfl2835]

My favorite part of your video was your openness about your struggles, your realness and your art work, very interesting. The entire video, your imagination of making something out of nothing and your ideas for storage were fascinating to me, I especially liked the baskets above the bed for clothing, great idea. You're an inspiration to many. And as a 56 year old man, I get you don't get many comments and likes from men, but I find you very much like someone I wish I were friends with and I don't say that lightly, I don't have many friends, now that I think about it I don't think I have any true friends, but like you mentioned, I don't mind being alone, it's a good thing, but my music gets me through the tough times and keeps me sane. So I'm good, I really did enjoy your video, Vanessa, you truly are a breath of fresh air.

[@mommakscafe]

You are a strong, beautiful, talented, warm lady and I am so happy you have found peace after a hard start to life. Keeping you in my prayers!

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

You are an incredibly talented and creative person Vanessa. You didn't just survive all the adversity in your life, you have thrived and overcome the darkness, you hold a torch of hope and beauty for others to be inspired by and believe betters days can be possible. You have a beautiful comfortable home and yes I do see a mother kissing the forehead of her daughter in that one particular piece of art that you created. Blessings be on you. I've been watching Tiny Home tours for years and this one will be one of my favorites.

[@Englishroserebecca]

Beautiful creative lady. Made herself a little palace. So lovely. You can’t keep a good girl down. ❤❤❤

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

Thank you!!!

[@orawancarlile6192]

You really have a gift for decorating the place. You should start your career as an interior designer.

[@001minky]

You pulled yourself up from the worst situation and turned your life into a beautiful expression. You are a wonderful example of inspiration for others! You made such a gorgeous home!!

[@user-ql2zo8jk4p]

Vanessa!!! You’re an amazing interior designer and organizer. I’m so moved by your story. Your tiny home is beautiful. And your paintings!! You should sell them!! All are my favorites❤

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

Thanks for your feedback!!!

[@jeanineskitchen2607]

wonderful. You are so creative . you made a warm and cozy home. God Bless.

[@jenniferdonth8759]

My favorite part is your energy and attitude. It’s the pain and struggles that help teach us and we can go either way in life and I am so happy you have found the good parts of life. It’s not always easy to remember that you are a special loved being that never deserved what you were put through, that never had anything to do with you.

[@memitaylor4323]

I can’t imagine being treated bad by my mom, my dad was the abuser. If my mother was cruel, I probably wouldn’t have made it! You are incredibly strong to me, probably very loving & kind too❣️ My dad beat my mother, the 3 girls ( my sisters ) fought to protect her. She gone now, and that devil is still alive. I miss her everyday & Love her. I know someone must have loved you, how could they not🥰💗

[@pauletteparker7225]

So glad that you rose upon the negative...power within..blessings to you ❤💖❤️💯

[@trysomeapples88]

I've followed the tiny house movement since it started. From TV programs, reading books and of course KZbin, I'm still learning and dreaming. My point....this was so inspiring. Thank you. May God keep you safe and at peace.

[@TheExquisiteGem]

Hearing her story makes me never want to hit my kids or get angry at them again. She has turned me into a better mom, I thank her for that. I wish her nothing but happiness and the best in life.

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

Thank you your comment brought me to tears; this is why I share my story. We all live and learn.

[@carolinebrown9693]

So pleased you found the strength to get away from a toxic environment and that you have now made such a beautiful peaceful place to live 💕

[@libbysevicke-jones3160]

With no doubt, the people who sold you this trailer would be so proud of you. They had faith in selling you their unit and as you said, it has been a double blessing.

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

I did an interview with them it’s on my channel!!!

[@pamelawolf313]

People like YOU restore my faith in humanity. ❤thank you for being a blessing. You are a survivor to help all of us to not give up‼️❤️

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@tangiecalloway6572]

[@lr6851]

Your place is beautiful and I’m shocked how affordable it is! I have struggled and felt beaten down, but your openness, honesty, and creativity have given me SO MUCH HOPE! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!❤

[@blackcurrantpop]

I am so happy you finally found peace in your life. I will watch your channel. You did a beautiful job w your home. There are many wounded people in this world who hurt others. They are sick in the head. It’s ok to be a loner and society should be more empathetic. You are beautiful.

[@michelledorsey1755]

You're amazing and a blessing with your testimony. Faith is all you will ever need to succeed, survive, and prevail. Your past did not and does not define you as you have proved adversity is temporary. Stay blessed and safe. You inspire me!
