💜☀️🌙⭐️💜 I love being 54, because honestly I just don’t care what others think about me or anything lol… I do what I like, I wear what I like, and I say what I want (as long as it’s done with love and kindness, if not I just keep it to myself and move on). All this has made my life more pleasant, especially when I just worry about myself… Edit* I also do not watch the news, I actually live off-grid so no tv here. I spend my days working on children’s books, working on my garden and loving on all my animals even my 16 chickens… it’s paradise!

[@Lauren-i8i]

People get in the habit of watching the news which is agitating and it can take a good chunk of their day. I never understood why I ‘should’ watch something that makes me feel bad and had data showing it has bad outcomes for health. Instead I have risked friends & family thinking I am an idiot while I read my books, watch YT and have little idea what dissension is in the world since I can’t do anything about it, anyway. I figure if a tornado is coming I will hear about it soon enough because people are always talking about the headlines. And when I want peace I ask Jesus for the peace that passes all understanding. He is the one I want to say connected to through everything! 💕💕💕

As you age some of us learn that less is more. As an empath & highly sensitive person less people, less running, less worldly interest & certainly less news/propaganda/lies is peace of mind to me. More God, family, a few close friends & several furry friends-more books, music & nature is a gift & blessing.

[@dsolis5125]

You tell it Colette! 👏👏 I too refuse to listen to the lies; listening to them robs me of my precious time, my energy (which needs to be conserved), and my contentment. I refuse to be thrown off balance. The world is in such a chaotic state, that music and other art forms, plus nature, are life savers for me. 🙂🙂 The things you say in your rants, and how you live your life, these two are in harmony. I appreciate you, and thank you for your authenticity! Blessings to you, your family, and your adorable Patsy ❤️❤️

[@borderlands6606]

The idea that we must care about people we have never met in places we have never been to, is extraordinary if you think about it. It's the secular version of original sin. We used to care about our immediate family and close community, yet now we barely know our neighbours but are made to feel fully and personally responsible for people from the other side of the world. It's an inversion of reality, generalised hand-wringing for humanity while the old man or single mother next-door-but-one remains faceless.

I hear you. It was similar for me also. I retreated to the woods many times to be alone and have done so all my life now. I live alone and absolutely love it. No tv or newspapers for years because I don't need to know all the rubbish that is being fobbed onto us. Peace and tranquility is what we need in our latter years and I now have that.

[@leemiller9246]

Dear Colette, Learning to live without giving a damn for the machinations of the outside world is the only way to live as otherwise that way lies madness if you arent careful. There is now so much misery, disaster, hate, division and intolerance in the world that shielding yourself from the majority of it is incredibly important. I try to be a vocal and empathetic part of the things that I am passionate about but have learned to let go of the things over which I now realise I can never hope to have any control. I have found great joy in my home and my garden and have created my own sanctuary, my own little bubble of bliss. I have found real happiness in just being me. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and woodland garden, your inspirational work with Mother Earth and your ethos for living. Bright blessings to you Colette and to the wee girl, Patsy.

[@mikeinportland30]

Yes, yes and yes!!! I was just this last week volunteering at the botanical garden near me to pick invasive plants and clear paths in its wild area. Anyway before we started the organizer gathered us together and had us introduce ourselves, but then state "what we identify as" and "what pronouns we use" and I thought, "I'm just here to pick weeds and it's none of your business how I identify myself....and 'I don't care' about pronouns, call me by my name please". And I don't care. But if I had said that many would be just SOO offended at my honesty so I just ignored that part. But all these new semantic labels and titles and terms these days become such a silly focus and draw away energy from actual important things and I can't keep up and I just don't care! In one of the Sherlock Holmes stories, Watson is aghast that Holmes doesn't know some current sensational news story and he replies that he does not waste any space in his precious brain on meaningless clutter. He "didn't care." A Conan Doyle, as so often, was ahead of his time. .....Boy Colette you hit on something today with your "I don't care" observations/celebrations!!! Amen! from a person who could not care less what pronouns anyone uses about him!

I'm turning 50 next month and came to that conclusion recently too. Watching and looking after my mum with the onset of dementia, and seeing her get worse when she worries about what others are thinking about her and realising she has done this her entire life, and it's rubbed off on me when I was younger, has been a wake up call to realising that worrying is not worth it. I see how the condition gets worse when she worries and I think it has played a HUGE part to the dementia in the first place. Start not to care, and preserve your mental health. Most things work out the way they would have always worked out as we can only control our own input, nothing else.

I have to agree -- this world is so unnecessarily complicated, difficult, and toxic that at times it seems almost unbearable. When it comes to the news and global events, it's so hard to discern what is true and untrue in this world. There seems to be so much manipulation and deception by those in power and there is always a narrative being pushed by the media that is designed to control us and keep us in fear. At this point in my life, all I want to do is to live simply and quietly and focus on only that which is beautiful, kind, peaceful, and enjoyable.

[@roxylqm111]

This is a wonderful perspective. It’s important to detach from the extreme negativity in the world and information overload and put your energy into creating the world you want to see. Not waste energy on fear or things you cannot control. And… it is also important to keep in mind that “not giving a damn” is a privileged position to be in. People who are in war zones and do not have freedom or are dealing with the effects of climate change or food insecurity or financial instability do not have this freedom. I think we owe it to one another to help others too (maybe even just those closest to us…) as we enjoy our own freedom.

[@c.jakubowski6549]

Just love the look Patsy was giving you at the beginning of this video. It was like she understood and was soaking in your wisdom. The upward snaggletooth is precious. Yesterday evening, I was driving home from my 4mo old chihuahua puppy’s class and a beat up old minivan flew past me as if floating on waves (probably due to the speed and some overdue suspension work).

At 56 I am at the point in life I don't put up with any bs anymore especially after the Covid nonsense, I walk away, don't care what people think of me. I hate the TV 😂not had one for 7 years. What is happening in the world is painful and I won't pretend I like the pathetic fakery. I prefer to be real 😊

[@liana2136]

Thank you, yes covid was absolute nonsense and ruined lives. The truth about it needs to come out.

[@teresajohnston1910]

I Absolutely Love this video! I'll be 61 on Monday & I give a damn about fewer things as I age. I believe we are kindred spirits. I love your cottage & your garden. Thank you for sharing. 🧚‍♀️

Ever since I was young I really never cared about what people thought of me, as I got older I never cared what they thought of me as an adult either, if they don’t like what they see, look somewhere else has been my motto in life! I have danced, laughed and sang in front of people. I am a happy person and have loved life and people and not for what they looked like or wore. I couldn’t tell you what people wore I only remember how I was treated and how they were as people. Now at 68 years old, I still feel that way but even more so! I was wise beyond my years. I am happy with the most important person and that is myself! 😊

[@galetimpone1712]

Colette you are 100%correct and I too do not have a TV! What is said out there is mostly hurtful, mean and utter Nonsense. Why waste electric energy on corruption. Thank for sharing your feelings.

My accolades from a 78 year old single lady living in a cottage on an acre in New Brunswick near the Bay of Fundy. I connect with your lifestyle of "not giving damn" :)

[@2legit2Kwit]

Where you live sounds so magical

[@toriwolf5978]

I live in plaster rock New Brunswick lol neighbours,it’s a very magical place where you are lol been there many times ❤❤❤❤

[@rebeccadees2300]

I don’t know if I’m an empath or not. So many things I see and hear that are unjust, cruel and inhumane, the things I have no control over, truly upset me. I’ve basically stopped watching tv shows and the national news. I do what I can when I can and try to remember that I can’t do everything. I have removed myself as much as possible except for a few friends and family. My world is my home and my pets.

Your dog cares about what your saying💙💙💙💙🌟

[@josephinerimmer6888]

My Mum taught me years before she died not to ever worry what the neighbours think of you. And I never do!

[@helenshingler7646]

So pleased to have you appear in my feed. I’m am in the same mindset as you having reached a significant birthday this year and sadly having had to put our little rescue dog to sleep on Tuesday. I am motivated to make the most out of every second but live according to my own values and appreciate and be grateful for every day ❤👍

[@carolinerayoflight786]

The voice of sanity, thank you Colette. ❤

[@sharonwindram6833]

We have 2 tv's, 1 in the dining room & 1 in the lounge. My husband works away during the week & when he leaves at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon, i ask him to turn the telly off. It does not get switched on again until he walks through the door at 9pm Thursday evening. If i was on my own, i definitely would not own or want a tv. Thank you as alway's for such an interesting vlog xx

[@juliaperry5244]

Great sitting with you and my cup of tea. You are a wise woman. ❤🐾

[@anonz975]

Your video is so uplifting! I am a woman about your age and next month will move to my "ultimate cottage" with my dogs/cats/chickens in a wonderfully quiet rural area. Not giving a damn also has a lot to do with hormones; when the estrogen drops we often stop caring about what others think or pleasing those that aren't worthy.

[@josephinewong4510]

Always admire a woman who uses her hands and wisdom equally, but sometimes allows her hands to lead.

[@cristinaluciacibils6554]

You are a wise woman INDEED!! And yes you should feel proud of yourself! I love your woodland, your own creation. I am at the very beginning of a similar process myself and I am so so delighted to busy myself in creating a food forest ... Thank You Colette for sharing your thoughts and your walks into the fairy woodland ❤

[@reginachante3132]

Awww, that’s a lovely video! Just found your channel and greatly enjoyed the walk through your woods! What a blessing to have the forest just outside your door. 🌳💚 clearly you DO give a damn, my dear, about Nature and peace. Woohoo! It’s people like yourselves who are holding this ship on course while the thugs keep rocking it back and forth. Best wishes and hug the trees! Cute dog, too. 🌸

[@louisesultana2431]

I needed this! The art of not giving a damn. I apply that to the haters I shed from my life. Thank you🌺
