[@jennyc5132]

Several years ago I went for a walk in the rain...I came across a big puddle..as I had my gumboots on and I thought there wzs no one watching, I took an almighty jump right in the middle and started to laugh...I then looked up and saw an old man watching me..I said "its fun you should try it" ...he just shook his head and walked away. I was in my early 60's....walking in the rain is soothing, calming....good for the soul🙏☂️🥰

I LOVE this concept. Making the focus on the journey, not the destination. That way, even during the learning process, where the product is often..... less than perfect 😅 the focus is on the enjoyment of the process ❤ This gives me the courage to try new things and persevere even when they don't turn out as I'd hoped.

[@onfireforjesus8374]

Love this video, I had a great Aunt years ago who always sent cards that was home made! As a child when my mom got one I loved to see how the great Aunt would dry the flowers and press and she used wax paper and home made paper. Now I think after watching this video I could do it. Over the years of my life I never had time to venture onto things of my own like you. I am 62 now soon to be 63 and would love to start my own cards. But not really sure how. I have the time now. I became disabled 7 years ago by fractures in my spine. I can no longer do my favorite things such as mowing yard and most gardening and home canning. But my husband did just have a raised bed made for this next spring. Cannt wait! I use to oil paint but no longer can do it. So I am asking my Lord what can I do. I am from Missouri, we have lots of flowers here i can dry. I love your videos, thank you. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Sister June

wow. the things you said at 5:23 just gave me goosebumps and i had such a feeling that i can have a life like this, the one i've always dreamed of. I'm only 14 right now, but i've known since i was little that i wanted to live a life like this. i always feel so connected to nature when i am in it, and ever since i discovered your channel, my dreams have gotten bigger and bigger everyday. i wrote a letter to myself in ten years to see where i will be and hopefully by then i will be able to live a life like this. and the way you tied the papers together and arranged the flowers just so made me feel like you are the best sort of person. thank you so much for your videos they are so inspiring

I used to love doing crafts all the time when I was a little younger and being out... it is really hard to sometimes remember what you had enjoyed especially living in a social busy city...I haven’t been out due to busy life and the current situation of the world, to spend some time with nature... seeing your beautiful lovely video, I realized how much deprived I am of connection...with myself and nature that gave me true simple happiness.
