Think About Your Future Self - End of Year Dance for you - Spirit Forest - S3 -Ep

[@mobiltec]

It's Thanksgiving Morning and this is the first video I've watched today. What a beautiful day! I woke up to our first snow here in Northern Nevada and it's just beautiful outside. Watching you dance as already made my day. After seeing your latest video of you, your kids and your husband taking down the tent I now realize why you called him your best friend. I think it's wonderful that you and he have stayed friends for the kids sake I'm sure and that is probably the best gift you two could have given your children besides the gift of life. Thanks for making my day....... again......

[@boydstone7433]

Wow so beautiful. Owl are cool. When I'm in the woods I talk to them and hoot back at them.

[@frankievoltage4034]

I love the dance. Tammy you have so many words of wisdom for your age be proud of yourself. Yes it is a major risk to make life changing decisions but most of the time your heart helps you to do the right thing. I cried tears of joy at the end when you where dancing with your broom so moving.

[@SpiritForest]

It was a peaceful moment for sure.. thanks for being there with me Clara!

[@wingedhealer3069]

I have seen those moves. ( Jamaica) Great words of wisdom. I'm so happy you had an awesome year at Spirit Forest. You have grown a lot since season 1. As you continue to grow not only as a individual and a You tube channel you have reached touched the lives of many amazing people (fans) and new friends. Cheers to next year and may you continue to spread your sunshine, wisdom and skills. Thanks for all you do and most of all your friendship and what you have taught me. I will continue to fight and keep climbing to reach my goals in life and change to make my life better. Until next season. Stacie (your winged healer)

[@billmitchell7731]

👍👍👍👍

[@semco72057]

I love your channel and hope you have a nice Winter after taking down and taking home your Winter accessories. The dance was nice and I hope you was thinking of what you was going to do later on, and while watching the video I was considering what I was going to do to solve my problem and thinking of how to avoid this problem again.

[@bradleysabourin7053]

Awesome video, and awesome dancer.

[@frederickletch5679]

Tammy. You can certainly move. WOW. Amazing. Your hair looks lovely as is. You a very beautiful lady. Said before your smile is fantastic. End of another Summer. Look forward to the Viking tent. Your thoughts are so profound. Look forward to next video. Keep being you.

[@AlaskaBushratJohn-st7sm]

Hi again, I just had to come back and watch you dance. Had a bad day and this cheered me up. Thanks

[@PrettySunShines]

You are so inspiring. I totally get what you say. I love nature and I am currently stuck in the city. I have young kids and a house, and my husband's job that is keeping us hostage right now..I feel stuck...but I see myself in the forest...enjoying the owls calling me at night...my kids roaming free and wild...I hope one day it happens...best wishes to you and I hope you enjoy your time with your family. I am going to be working on my baby steps to get out of here...

[@littlethislittlethat456]

Very nice pleasant video. Thank you. I made a huge life decision to hike the Appalachian Trail beginning in March. Have a great winter. John from MI

[@thegreatowl4912]

According to some, the owl is a messenger bird. It shows up in our lives when we need it most. To be awakened by the beautiful call of that owl, then spend time in self reflection, is nothing short of amazing and not at all coincidental! Also, that dance was mesmerizing! You bring such joy to us all. Thank you!

[@SpiritForest]

Love that.. thanks

[@TI14928]

OMG Tammy I was just watching your video again love me like a stranger lol I love it you gotta do more dance videos hahahaha

[@rosehunsinger8671]

im looking forward to your new build next yr i love your vlogs /videos thank you for taking us all along with you great job tammy

[@fberger54]

Thank you for sharing, I've enjoyed it more than I thought I would and my wife has started watching too. Change is good, So to what comes next ... L'Chaim ( To Life ).

[@jonoffensend7519]

Thanks for the dance! Some people are dancers, I am not much to my regret. I would just once like to dance with a lovely lady of course it could still happen. Stayed in my tent last night, really nice about 28 degrees. I did get a bit nervous when a coyote pack came around about 2:30 very noisy, I don’t mind one or two but the packs make me nervous. After about a hour of coyote chorus they went their way and such is life.

[@benshafer3124]

Thanks for making me smile today

[@Jeremy-Wolf-Martinez]

Wow you got some nice moves there! I could never dance I'd be stepping on my own toes ha. Sound words of advice I to have some changes I need to make soon. Your words helped me put some thing into perspective.

[@SteveN-dk4yu]

Inspired!!! You make so much sense in what you said it's scary...thanks for sharing...i needed some inspiration like this right now! Keep on keeping on!!

[@jerryderr8043]

Dance Dance Dance! It's great to see this video at this time of my life. I need to be reminded about baby steps. Thank you!

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Thanks for busting me right between the eyes! Your not the first one to smack me with this, but it's hard for me to be "selfish" enough to make the change that will affect others by making myself happy... Thank you for the pep-talk!

[@edwardwestown7209]

Watching you from a safe distance in Norway, please do some more dance!💃

[@gregmayer8236]

I go out to the garage and dance to the stuff from the 80s LOL 🕺

[@tomhemming2139]

That was awesome!! Have a great holiday season. Going back to snoring guess I'm out 🤣😂🤣🥂❤

[@larrymay8449]

I could tell you definitely was feeling the music and comfortable doing the dance for the camera! Good luck with the next season!

[@oldebeard1966]

Your on the rite path. Writing down what you want to do is the start of the map you need to find your way.

[@martinmoreland5365]

hey, tammy great moves, nice chat good vibes all will be ok. you got this! thanks for sharing the moments. took your advice and had a holiday in jamaica will remember the 90-95 heat forever, Toronto Canada was at -1 not so glad to be back, love going south keep rocking you're awesome!! ly.

[@leroyjarvis5617]

HAVE MERCY! Made my day! It has been a good year. Edit ; The part abut situation change helped, thanks.

[@barrybechler6880]

Alright, Tammy. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the dance. Maybe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ now I can’t focus. I watched the rest of the video....but I didn’t hear it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@aleta5873]

Thank you so much for the reminders. Even though I'm 71, I can relate to what you are saying. I wrote a list of things that apply to me and I could feel some relief with some anxiety...by taking "little steps". When you were dancing I kinda said out loud "let that spirit soar" !! Your talk reminds me of certain practices I learned in 'workshops' I've been to in Big Sur, Esalen Institute . People pay thousands to be able to learn to let their hearts be open and there's lots of body work that involves dancing freely. It is the dance of life we participate in every day. Thanks again Tammy.

[@lindawoods6841]

Now i love dance.. You are awesome in anything you do..I had no idea you loved to dance..doesn't it just make you feel so much better..I dance when I am sad when i am happy..I just love to dance. Stay young and enjoy your life..love your videos.

[@billmitchell7731]

Please don't ever ever stop being yourself. EVER👍👍👍

[@carolwilliams6214]

You go girl!!!😀😀

[@JimCrossan]

Wow.! Lookin' good lady.! 😊

[@locksbog4270]

Great stuff Tammy, very inspirational! I think most people are in the same boat on this topic and ones that say no are in denial . 👍👍👍😃✌️And the dance was awesome for sure!!!!!

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

Sometimes you just gotta dance! What a GREAT extended metaphor!

[@robertcolvin3182]

Good for you. Major decision time all through life. I'm 80 and still making them. I tell my kids, still, if you're not happy, try to become so, and if circumstances work against that, go somewhere, do something else that will allow happiness.

[@daisygoon]

Wow! Thank you.

[@tonyfreewheeling8340]

Hi Tammy, Good advice CHANGE is who we are. Your dance was a great example of inner feelings from change and your thoughts were concerns of change. I thought it was another great video, thanks for sharing.

[@randysanders5560]

Amazing coincidence. As I was going to sleep last nigh , I prayed for direction in my life. For guidance to refocus. Your thoughts perfectly framed my current dilemma. Your hiking example is spot on. Thanks

[@pinebearclub]

I can see you doing seminars on self improvement, you really really put a spark back in my life... thank you from the bottom of my heart. Also the little lantern looked so happy too. Bryan from Vancouver

[@SonLightSparklingontheWaters]

19 minutes in... gotta say stuff. Thanks for being real. Actually the best part of real imho-making decisions, taking risks, following your heart. Yes, I do think you’re crazy, but it is what the world needs right now... the knowledge you share is really needed. Couple of things: you are in great condition and dance like I wish I could. Your body serves you, and you appear comfortable in it. Continue tracking through life with your long term goals as your North Star. This is wise (beyond your years, as has been said). ‘Nuff said, for now.

[@knightscream]

Love the video's and i deffently love the way you move

[@moondancer5115]

You. Are. Adorable! And... you got to hear an owl on your last night.👍 Nice. I love the feels I get watching your videos. It's like it's just us hanging out.😊 ❤ ✌

[@lyfandeth]

Our hips were obviously assembled by different factories.(g)

[@bjosch4365]

[@thomaswright6250]

I must say Tammy this was a very emotional video thank you

[@brightpurpleviking]

Thank you for the sound advice. I needed to hear this as I navigate the next few years!

[@denniswines2998]

I could say a lot of things right now all good but I'm just going to stick with WOW !!! 🙏💙🌄

[@jeffcoler9409]

Tammy it is ok to talk, argue, and answer yourself, you only worry when you start saying " what did you say?" But for real great dance moves and thank you for your wonderful spirit. With everything you have shared with us, heath, heart, and life's bumps you still have had a wonderful year and shared the moves with us. So I say thank you for your spirit you wisdom, your adventures, your moves, your growth and you cubs. They have and are a blessing for us as well as you.

[@jordanebling2138]

that was exciting haha..great dance moves

[@pamelaholbrook523]

Thank you for sharing your inner life...very encouraging to me and others too...the dance to me is a celebration of life..a spiritual dance in Spirit Forest...I danced with you in celebration...

[@marjiecleveland]

Great thoughts and advice. I have made changes in the last couple years and will continue to until my goals are reached. You dance very well!

[@Jimbo-pm1dp]

Thought provoking....odd to hear someone talk about an ex in such a positive way but still get divorced....rocker is such a good boy....treasure every moment you have with him....look into his loving eyes as often as you can....someday he will be a wonderful memory....love him while you can....hes so much of who you are...!!

[@yolandag8061]

You would be an awesome psychiatrist! Really great video! Thank you for sharing your thoughts And make us think about ourselves!

[@msgottaneedtoknow]

Well... you have inspired me. You are very right. I’m going to make that list. I’m in a nasty, hard place in my life and I really need to make some real and serious changes. It won’t be easy... thanks for sharing your idea, you might be saving my life. 🤔😊❤️

[@SpiritForest]

It is never easy.. Change is very uncomfortable.

[@vickibatstone9283]

Thank You for such great advice, it made me also take a look at the changes I want to make in my life for my future self...

[@jeffnotti9932]

WOW you dance gaoooooood .. and yes @4:45 i usually talk to my dog.. and when if not him i am talking to my self and sometimes out loud.. (no one else will listen) if not out lound there are a lot of hmmm-- and aaaahh, and head shaking . i can see you have a rich inner dialogue.. Nice topic.. Future You... very few people are taught to think about future you.. save for a rainy day just does not cut it. Future you is way more important @6:59 yea a lot of people lose them selves.. but i would submit that you have been so redirected by what you are expected to be it winds up being disappointing. Age will do that to you too. i am the same guy i was when i was 25 but i have much more knowledge and sometimes don't recognize the guy in the mirror because i have a very different view of who i am .. (so i avoid mirrors at all cost) it is hard enough to live with my errors than to look in the mirror and be reminded of all of them. very perceptive. @7:53 great analogy.. this is good stuff.. Wait wait .. you never have the future, you really only have a memory of the past (that is why at the end my mom told me to "remember,, remember" that was a blessing because i do) The future is now, it is right around the corner, you may already be there. It is what we do now that prepares us for what is to come. Planning is good but learning is better! you can say planning is learning and acquiring the necessary things to arrive at what you aim at. Like your fitness thing is all about taking care of the only body you have in order to make it down life"s trail and see what the future has brought to you and your family. Proverbs 20:7 (KJV): “The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.” to see your children's children's children is a blessing beyond belief. You cant do that unless you think about future you, and prepare for future you, good or bad. Wait wait dont tell me... It is not about weight it is about body fat.. if you reduce your body fat and strengthen your upper body as you would like to do you my not see much of a loss of weight but you will see in the mirror and how your cloths fit.. so take aim at you body strength (goal) (God i hate the word goal) and and work hard at it.. and you will attain the desired effect for future you. @10:00 great perception... nice analogy again. WOW momma knows best... @13:17 see you are right.. you are perusing that things that complete you..(and you have a bunch of cool knives too, what a Gal) @14:17 yep it makes sense for sure.. but know too that being the best you can be NOW make your future self even better.. (seriously that mattress folds up.. cool) @18:44 Whoa.. now that is profound i totally get that.. the decisions you make now effect the ripples of time and life of your daughters and how you will be remembered. Your strong personality and inner strength will make your posterity great. so heavy .. Good work!! i get that totally. I am not sure if there is a right or wrong decision it is all in the follow trough and wither or not you own that decision and act accordingly a misstep can be more important than all the other technically correct ones and have much better results. i think i have my list memorized and take the steps necessary every day.. am i happy maybe ..am i unhappy maybe not, i am who i am and that is all that i am. your song? i'm a girl that loves the forest, i am a girl that loves the trees, it calls me. i'm a girl that love the mountains, i'm a girl that love the path, it calls me.. LOL there you go.. may every day be your day. and may the Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. oh yea and some fun too J

[@msgottaneedtoknow]

Jeff Notti Wow... you are a very insightful, intelligent person. Loved your comments. I find that as strong as I was and as strong as I saw myself... I have lost myself, regardless. I actually fight to hold on to what I have left of me. I liked the old me. I know it’s important to do something about it.. but I’m actually not sure how and what to do. I have complex PTSD, anxiety, fibromyalgia, heart failure (they say I’m to young but here I am) and worst of all chronic fatigue. My mind fights but my body won’t comply. It’s like being in-prisoned in my own body. I’m not sure where to go from here because I’m not sure what’s causing what - my mind, heart, body or all of the above. I can’t figure out how to fix it. Not sure why I’m sharing this.. maybe there will be someone out there who knows something I don’t. I need hope. I think mine is running out. 🙁🥵

[@jeffnotti9932]

@@msgottaneedtoknow Well you absolutely have hope. i would say all of the above is the cause and take one step at a time in recovery. it did not happen over night and it wont go away over night (that is with out devise intervention) i hit bottom and by dumb luck changed my life.. city living and the pursuit of constant striving will take its toll on you.. You know what you love to do so do it. Do what you love and love what you do. I understand people have to work and work is important but. follow your gut your gut will show you the red flags. bring the things into your life that enhance your life and you as a person and cut every thing or one that brings you down. sometimes you need to go out side and sit by a fire (or your barbecue) and just let your mind go.. it is a good exercise to let your thoughts run rough shod over your person. it will also take some time to be able to sit quietly breathing Gods air, and feeling the experience of your self, your body, your mind and your soul.. see you said it your self you know who you are and you love what you were which is still what you are.. may be oppressed but set her free. I am sure you have it in you. Remember Tammy's sign.. you dont know how strong you are until you have no other choice.. you are already pretty strong with amazing endurance and forbearance. do what you love and love what you do even if it is tiddlywinks it just has to be what you want even just sitting on the beach .. J

[@johndavidson6867]

Some real fantastic moves there Tammy. The one constant in human lives is that change is scary, even when we know that a change is necessary. The other thing, which you spoke of, is you can't expect a different result by following the same path, and doing the same things. I love hearing anything that you are willing to share with us, about your life, your dreams and any other tit-bits you can. Take care Tammy, and what ever you do stay safe

[@SpiritForest]

Thank you John!

[@trekOCLVone]

Big decisions - Your video rings loud here. Big change is coming - back to the where I have more time for me. Things must change. I choose - "better future self" This video is reinforcing what must happen for my life course to improve. I want to thank you for your encouragement. I am past the point of no return as of today. Several more steps to come for the permanent shift in my new life to be realized. I'm not uncomfortable. I know it is time. Thank you for sharing. Go forward - always forward ! Squirrel Whisperer

[@SpiritForest]

Yes, it is time..

Enjoyed the dancing. 👍🏼

[@Gustav92069]

Wow, Tammy, the Viking Queen can flow with the music with her hips arms and hands, so fluid in motion, it's fun seeing you Dance, I loved it. As to Your story, I understand you 100% for I'm in the same place as you with many of the same fears, like you I'm working on selling my home and moving out of California to Los Vegas then to Montana to a small town where I hope I'll be able to fit in. I have my eyes set on some property 1.8 acres of now green grass where I hope to build my log home. I understand totally what You're saying and it's time to put the past behind me and look to the future, some times it's really hard when your truly alone with the family has gone. Blessing Be to you Tammy. I hope you see this reply. :)

[@RufanaDenmark]

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who's debating with myself in he middle of the night

[@1rdgrnnr]

profound !!!!!!!!

[@adriancaldwell]

This VERY much makes sense

[@ransomrice2268]

Sounding like Bull Hanson with the self help and planning the future thoughts. That is a compliment by the way. My Mom wrote a short story about her life before she died so the family would all know more about her earlier years and what influenced her so that we (8 kids) could better understand life's challenges and who she really was. Be strong young lady! Good timing Tammy. I'm about to retire and start wood carving again. Used to do Viking motif carvings years ago for fun and need to decide a few things.

[@SpiritForest]

Oh Viking Motif Carvings would be fun! Don't give up on your dreams!

[@ransomrice2268]

There was a couple that worked here at the Y years ago and (I think) they used to run the Viking Lodge and Ski Shop in Winter Park. They had a big strong son with red hair, blue eyes and freckles who wanted me to teach him how to carve wood. He showed me some note books of his art drawings which were full of dragons and swords and Viking warriors all very well done but very, very dark. Without going into too much detail... I asked his parents if it was ok for me to give him a sharp knife and teach him. They said "Yes. He would be fine." He would be safe with a sharp knife. And then they told me their son was adopted and his blood line could be traced back to "Erik the Red". I met with him at the craft shop here for a few weeks and he carved a very nice owl sitting on a tree branch. The owl's beak was characterized and would make you laugh. @@SpiritForest

[@waynesworldvanlifeoz]

Hay Tammy so so true I've just spent 4 days hiking in the bush to clear my mind and to make changes love your videos keep up the good work I think you're awesome

[@SpiritForest]

YES!! Me too... You can notice that the video 3 days ago.. I needed to get the "city off me" This video was my last day .. and you can see a change. I need time in the bush.

[@Traveling_with_FIVE_Cats]

ONE HOT MAMA!! ..thanks I needed that!

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Very logical and motivational T. You got the moves like Jagger!

[@nasa1nk]

Dang girl, nice moves and you look great too.

[@stewsstructures83]

I really enjoy your videos !! I dont coment on many of them ,however I do conect with your thoughts alot of the time . i too have been through a lot the last couple of years. I have always had long term goals and attack that with baby steps. Some times though major issues force big steps to occur . I learned a long time ago to roll with the punches . It seems I was born on a stack of rugs and they are getting ripped out from under me all the time.; But things have been turning around and I know where I;m going !!! Keep the faith girl !!! You have drive and ambition and will always end up on your feet and in a better situation when its all said and done .

[@SpiritForest]

Thanks for the comment.. yes good advice.. "roll with the punches"

[@greywolfwalking6359]

Bo dacious! Moves! Viking got rythm! My 2 favorite blankets I use all of the time: a grey timber wolf.. N a great horned owl! Right now is the time of owl! Great vid! Thank You! ATB 👍🎶😎🎶👍!

[@mikemorgan4412]

You are a very talented lady. The videography is well done and the music was perfect. Seeing the happiness in your dance was inspiring and you are beautiful. I hope you realize everything you want in the future. And the most important part is you are such a wonderful mom to those two beautiful daughters. What you’re teaching them about nature is so important. I wish more parents could do what you are doing for your children. Thank you for being who you are and stay safe.
