Living Alone in a Cottage on the Sound | Vlog 15

I swear your videos have a feeling like Lord of the rings epic proportionsBetween the cinematic views of the landscapes and the music I absolutely adore it

[@LoreMIpsum-vs6dx]

It's so true.

[@Annabel.Margaret]

Oh my goodness I think that is the greatest honor I have ever received! Thank you! I am so glad, that is exactly what I hope to achieve!!!

[@on2play4u]

@@Annabel.Margaret you really are gifted. I’m so thankful to have found you here.. as I am sure many here will agree life is so hectic and your videos have a peaceful way about them that calms and inspires me, and reminds me to sit with nature and not forget the world around us. You give us glimpses we wouldn’t normally see. It is so important to disconnect from the busy world around us with cars and bldgs, and tech, and get back to barefoot walking the planet we live on. Blessings to you as Yule approaches! 🌝🌹❤️

[@lilliangarza4954]

@@Annabel.Margaret As a writer who holds Lord of the Rings above all other stories, I agree that your videos conjure thoughts of Middle Earth, while reminding me that we already live in a magical place. You help us see the magic in our world. Thank you, Annie. 💗

This is exactly why I don't bother with mind numbing mainstream TV anymore!. This is truly great content, and I can listen to your voice for hours!. You are a beautiful person inside and out!.

[@dawn6954]

Anne of Green Gables meets Eat Pray Love.... ❤❤❤ Two of my favorites! I happened upon your video where you shared why you wear those intriguing yet trend setting rings. What caught my attention immediately was the calm serene nature scenes. How wonderfully you capture beauty in life. I love how you carefully choose the right words to display who you are at any given moment, in any given situation. I love how your expression is exemplified through everything you capture and epitomizes the very thing you are searching for and oh how I pray you become aware of that Truth!!! You truly are the song that sings to your soul! I have only been blessed to watch every video since "The Story of the Rings" but my goodness as I neared the ending of this one, I feel like I just have to know how this story ends!!! The best part for me is, the life you journey is so inspiring, and as a stay at home mom of 6 children, homeschooler, homemaker I could only imagine such a world where noone dictates or controls my every move. Where silence and calmness dissipate tempers before they even rise. A place where nature can be beautiful and isnt trampled by the thoughts and feet of the busy, frazzled and ignorant. So, for me, your life's journey in these few videos, has been a shimmer of hope, an inspiration of what is, and a song to my soul. ❤ ~Dawn~

Am I the only who cries to her videos?? Lol For real. My soul longs to do what she is doing. Lived my whole life where I'm at too. I've got to know, WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN ANNIE?? I'm a Sagittarius so the aesthetics of these video speak to my soul. The music, the visuals and your poetic words cause me to cry.

Sometimes in life we just need to exist...Enjoy the tranquility and wonder of whatever you do... you're enchanting and I love these videos! Many blessings ❤

[@findingeffie9320]

This made me tear up. This is the freedom and connection with nature that I want and crave so badly. I hope someday this can also be my dream fulfilled.

[@shyelagrandjean9788]

A tip for when making something witg rosehips is to wait untill there has been some frost, it makes them sweeter, you can also pop them in the freezer for a few days, does the same trick ;) next tip always make sure to take the seeds out, if you want to make some itching powder, you can dry the seeds and grind them.

[@YourRoyalMajesty.]

Rewatching this and seeing baby Hazel … Omgosh what a journey you both have been on. Thank you for all of it and for bringing me back to this video. This one and the one where you dive beneath the water, are two of the best things I’ve ever seen on KZbin. I hope one day to see something you’ve created on a big screen. It would be breathtaking.

[@NilDreams]

I have no words to express how your videos and storytelling make me feel. They are so healing and inspiring to me. I’m sure many others feel the same. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻❤️

[@maxlexy1947]

So true 😭😭😭

[@leighdegenhardt485]

I was thinking the very same thing! That and I can imagine seeing Annie's videos on the big screen some day!!!

[@Weirdthings2C]

Before I read any of the other comments, fondly after watching only one of your previous videos about the broken feeding tube, you left me with an electrifying notion that you are truly an aspirational auteur. In the comments others verify these sentiments of your amazing skill. The name of your KZbin channel "Daughter of Old" describes your soul. You are beautiful example of what many of us fail to achieve in our mundane lives. KZbin's recommended listing was a Godsend to me, as I am now going to binge watch every video on your channel and recommend it to as many people as I can. You are an inspiration.

[@ArmellaHCohen]

You are living your purpose indeed in spite of your condition, you are a blessing in your creative gifts.

[@luciasamaras7767]

We seldom listen to our inner voice, even though it can be a loving guide. You do well to stay attuned to your divine inspiration. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@lavenderfae8585]

I am in such admiration of you. I have just wept watching your video. You have a bravery and courage I have only ever been able to dream of. You are living my dream life right there. I am 53 and have always longed of living on the coast next to the sea. Your video sang to my soul. On a deep cellular level. Thank you for sharing.

[@licwall5563]

You are a beautiful soul, talented filmmaker, and very articulate. ❤️👍 Keep up the good work Annabel ❤️👍✔️♾️🌟🕯️😊💯🔥🙏💟

[@drewgrad8871]

Annabel, I understand well what you are saying when you talk about feeling unsure about what lies ahead and where to live. But when I really think about it and tune in to my intuition, home is not a specific place, but it is what you feel in your heart. It is discovering what makes your heart sing and getting to know who you are all over again like a rebirth or rediscovery. And feeling the highs and lows of life as well as those in between zen-like moments where you feel the stillness of all that is.

[@silverhawk3413]

Annie: You not only show the beauty of our lands, but more importantly you share the beauty from within your soul. Thank you for sharing your strengths, weaknesses, kindness and helping us to live our dreams though you. You are an inspiration!

[@mountainmystic1349]

I just found your channels welcome to the Pacific Northwest!! I grew up on that side of the mountains (skagit co.) Washington State has always been my home... We moved to the other side of the State almost 6 yrs ago... Love it on this side we get all 4 seasons ... Summers can get hot but those days are great for porch sitting .. We get way less rain on this side but where we live looks a lot like that side once you see the mountains and trees it's hard to leave them that is why we picked this area we have 24 acres in the mountains ... The herbs that grow wild on our property as well as elderberry grow all over around here ... It's truly magical you have a new follower :)

[@alancook9102]

You are inspirational. Beautiful video. Awesome strength - not just nature. You. God bless and take care. You carry forward your life with such amazing resilience. Sing on, sing on sweet melody. You have us listening. Alan from England.

Your gift is that you are an accomplished writer and story teller...your videos take me to a place of wonder and inspiration and leave me with a certain feeling of hope and awe . You are truly talented and I hope that in your journey to find exactly where you belong you will also find the perfect setting that will allow you to continue to share your gifts with many, many more people. Your view of life and nature is so grounding and it helps me see the world around me in a way that I thought I had left behind in my youth. Growing older has blurred nature's beauty and has made me forget just how connected I should be to the spirit and power of the natural world around me. I am thankful to you for helping me regain a bit of what I have lost. I hope the coming winter will not be too harsh for you and your adorable pup...stay safe....stay well.

Living here is such a blessing. I'm from the midwest originally and have lived here for 18 years. Not a day goes by where I don't recognize the beauty of this place. We have everything in this state. Flatlands, hills, mountains, water, desert, forrests... Moving here was the best decision I've ever made. You captured the beauty wonderfully. ❤

[@tayzt3841]

Where is this such beautiful place?

[@ToddDouglasFox]

Annie, I’d like to see you combine these episodes into a full feature film. You narrate fantastically. At some point you could sell the film. The most amazing part of your journey, besides you of course, is that you take action that is much bigger than any impediments. You move around as if you don’t have EDS and you love all the components of cooking, nutrition, and food although there is much of it you cannot eat. Your craft is a loving one without shying away from all that is good and holy and beneficial to the soul. May you thrive in all you do.

[@esbee1177]

Your Videos are so beautiful. I instantly fell in love (not the creepy type) with your visual language and your voice. You make me end a shitty day with a smile on my face and a bit of calmness in my soul. I needed that, thank you! All the best.

Maybe Annie will consider this! She has incredible skills in engaging in living her life and others would benefit from a workbook on how to do this for themselves...

[@HEROofANGELES]

Beautiful! I'm glad you got a chance to get out there and experience something different in your life. So many never work up the courage to do it. 🙂 Personally, I've moved away from my family and friends so many times throughout my life. I've had a great many adventures though and have met a lot of fantastic people, which I wouldn't trade for anything. Every new place I've ever lived too people have told me the same thing. They've told me to give that place at least 6 months to a year before deciding whether or not I truly belong there. It's generally taken me close to a year, but I swear something magick happens around that time, where you finally get into the swing of things and the place where you are just seems to make sense. I wish you all the best in your new home! 😀

[@annbutler8302]

I love the Sound and miss it a lot. I lived in WA for 10 yrs (Bremerton & Everett) before returning to Indiana. Maybe someday I will return.

You’ve always been such a bright light even now as I’m going through a darker period in my life. Your videos always inspire me to continue dreaming and chasing after the life and spiritual enlightenment I’ve been craving my whole life.

[@maryandmartha]

You will find the song that sings to your soul very close to you indeed. It will not be in 'any place'...but within you. The change you have made is a perfect entry to that place within because one can get sort of stuck in an old way of being...of living. We become habituated to life as it is, and by changing that, you sort of shake your old self up a bit. In time, however, your new place will become comfortable and your 'old self' may try to sneak in again. You may feel the need to move again, to find a new experience, but 'wherever you go there you are.' See if you can find that true inner self (which can be a challenge...but you are on the right track) and she will be with you always.
