Stephi I’m a retired RN and 59 years old. I admire your willingness to embrace life and live it so freely. You inspire me. I’ve seen first hand what happens when your disease exacerbates. But of course I see you the person and not your disease. You’re amazing and have a deep wisdom that you probably wouldn’t have if life didn’t offer so many challenges.

I love your channel. I was picturing your life before Tricafta as being quickly plunged downward by a waterfall, then finding the calm and peace after Tricafta in the warm pool below. Float leisurely under the heavens and keep doing what you’re doing, love. 💕

Hi Stephi, I've been watching your video's for a while now. You have really come full circle from where you started out on youtube. Glad to see you are able to teach yourself to slow down with everything you have been doing. Making life more valueable in the long term. Thanks for sharing all your art and stories. They have helped me recover from open heart surgery, Fire, and loss of two family members within 5 months apart. I'm getting the numbers 11:11 which have been apearing often, so all good. Life is a journey, not a race. I keep telling myself. You do the same.

The fun thing about being a butterfly is, you don't need to know where you're going. You can just fly from one beautiful flower to the next from sweet nectar to even sweeter nectar. 🦋 Thanks for the amazing nature images, that sunset was truely magical!

[@garegardner6782]

Bear Lake is one of my favorite places on earth. I'm glad you got to see it's beauty because you appreciate it. I wish everyone could see it at least once in their life. Thank you for putting this video up today Stephi, glad I caught it. You're amazing.

Hi Stephi. Been following you for years now. So glad you aren't going anywhere. The world would be a colder place without you in it. You are a shining beacon of light and the headwaters for sooo many smiles. Love your new house. VERY nice. Get as many security upgrades as you can. It's a crazy world out there (as you know). I so hope our paths cross someday.

[@lnsdetailingmechanical5440]

Stephi your far from awkward, your a true gift to this world and I'm so glad i came across your channel, what an inspiration you are.

Thanks for the update StephiLee! I love your art journaling. I have always loved journaling, but never thought once about drawing in it! I think about your new life and your new wings, and my selfish concern is always for your safety. So as a mom, I will say please be safe out there and pay attention to what’s ahead and what’s behind you. Your a beautiful butterfly 🦋 and I for one am so happy for you (and of course Ollie)! Have fun on your adventures!! 🌸✌️💕

I am SO happy that something came out to prolong your life. You deserve it. You are beautiful and so is your art. I can’t believe that you left all of your artistic belongs behind.

Another great video. I just love the way you see the world and your life. Seeing that gorgeous sunset reminds me there is never an end to beautiful images and experiences in this life. I think everything is art...think I need to go paint some redwoods. Thanks.

[@davidmachado9124]

hey Stephi. I feel exactly the same as you when you describe your experience. I "contracted" complex PTSD in my childhood and I only knew life as a VERY FAST OMG THUNDER GO GO GO brawl of survival. After 10 years of therapy, eventually the big trauma(s) got uncovered, kind of resolved, and then suddenly I could just chill instead of fighting for survival. It was like... all the survival energy that I had harnessed was now... useless and loose. It was kind of awkward actually. And yeah, now I'm trying to figure out how to live besides for fighting for survival. And it's like I was a waterfall crashing down before, and now I'm... a pool or something. It's fucking weird

[@jdmack1]

Stephi, you're beautiful and such a great artist. I'm always amazed at people who can draw like that. Also that wood branch totally looked like a dragon, but I was thinking dragon "beak" not "snout". Wait, do dragons have beaks? Or is that just birds? Now I'm confused lol.

Steph is you can get an on demand hot water heater for about $100. It has cold water in and out and a propane inlet. I’ve seen them hung on Van back doors. You just need to plumb it inline with your shower hose. They are adjustable so you can usually get the water temperature pretty good. I always carry a pair of slip joint pliers for water connections. Sounds like you loosened it for him!
