Van Life | How to Know if Something is for You!

[@mtaylor2901]

You are such a beautiful Soul… hurts my heart to think anyone would have unkind comments towards you…. Of course that’s a reflection of where they’re at not of who you are. I needed this message so much today, even at almost 60 we still need gentle reminders of what is true and right in life. Thank you! 💖💖💖

[@chrisp7652]

@@mtaylor2901 I am 63 and still being “schooled” by her. Dee and I have mutual friends and they tell she is just the sweetest person. Someday I hope to meet the person who dances like no one is watching and hurts her wrist while doing so! Until then, I meet her every Saturday and have my day brightened. I had to write just to say I agree with what you said. It shocks me that anyone could harm such a gentile soul!

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you! I’m glad it encouraged you 😊

[@jbusley]

Starting year 5 in my Promaster with my pooch. Never been happier. I’ve owned a very large home in a gated community. Misery and alcoholism ensued. Sober 20 years now. Life is good. So, can you be happy in a van? 😉🐶

[@LadyBugout]

That’s awesome! Yes, so happy ☺️

[@beatniksvintage]

I don't know how I missed your van tour on Bob's channel 2 years ago! He's the reason I'm a full-time nomad; I just celebrated 6 glorious years on the road. Anyway, I absolutely love your van build and I subbed to your channel. You are a beautiful soul and I was immediately drawn in by your positive energy.

[@LadyBugout]

I appreciate that. Thank you and welcome to the channel 💃🏻🐞🚗

[@doubled5037]

Happy you are were you are. You look happy. Keep being you, your awesome!!

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, my friend! You are awesome too. Thanks for your encouragement through the years 🥰

[@dagnolia6004]

trying to get things decluttered today. removing things that are no longer FOR ME. there are so many GOOD things in the world that are NOT for me. just because something has value doesn't mean it is good FOR ME; this could be a book, a philosophy or even a pair of jeans! one silly thing that i have "stolen" from Dee is the way i clean dishes. i scrape with rubber spatula, wipe with cloth THEN clean~ so satisfying! (and i get to think of this calm internet friend as i do it)

[@LadyBugout]

So true! I love decluttering 😝

[@janneal9156]

Love... all..👍

[@chrisp7652]

I don’t have to tell you…I am for you! LOL You have been in my corner for years now cheering me on, educating me and enlightening me (even if you do not know it). Your videos have been and continue to be an inspiration. Your soft voice and huge smile brightened my days when I was ready to give up. I wish thank you were enough. SnS’s

[@LadyBugout]

I’m so glad to hear that because, of course, you know that you have been such a supportive and encouraging voice. Thank you ☺️

[@2BROTHERS969]

What a beautiful healthy meal you prepared. You're such a sweet lady with an inspirational journey. God bless you

[@LadyBugout]

It was tasty!!!💃🏻

[@gregoryknight1772]

I needed this video today I am starting all over but building back easier and better one of the things that didn't get stolen was my hammock Ha Ha

[@LadyBugout]

Oh wow. Well, I’m glad you have the hammock. I hope it helps you have rest in the midst of building back up!

[@sarah_n_tank_girl]

I was just talking with a friend (who lives in a van) how I have truer friendships with nomads and how my 1st instinct when life gets chaotic is to take some time alone in my tiny home. I am hoping to show some of that peace to my daughter this weekend as take a mini vacation to the coast.

[@LadyBugout]

Yes, I understand that completely!😊

[@countryfriedcamper]

Dee, you have been such an inspiration. A little over a month into truck life and even family says I seem happier and smile more.

[@LadyBugout]

That’s awesome! 🙌🏼💪🏼💃🏻

[@emmanuelchurchinnashvilled3705]

“I am for you” is found in Ezekiel 36:9 as part of a promise from God! Love your videos Dee!

[@LadyBugout]

Yes! Thank you!🙏🏼

[@gingermcintosh6545]

I cook like you do. I have a little electric pot/skillet I use for pretty much everything. It plugs into my Bluetti. It’s non-stick and I wipe it out with vinegar and paper towel. Amazing how much you can do like that. I am hoping to size up from my Prius V, but maybe it won’t happen. I’m playing it be ear. I enjoy seeing your tiny space.

[@LadyBugout]

It is such an easy way to go! I have not regretted it one bit 💃🏻

[@LadyBugout]

I don’t remember where I got it.

[@mythicalnomadadventure969]

Yes, if someone's quiet and open, they'll notice when the universe smiles on them. Back when I was starting, it smiled on me. Enjoy all the yummy food too. "Bonus"! 👍 Rock on 🙂.

[@LadyBugout]

Well said!🥰

[@just__celia]

I needed to hear all this! Thank you! I feel like this is the lifestyle I crave and could thrive in. But not ready to take the first step yet. But your message in general really confirms what I have been grappling with a lot lately.

[@LadyBugout]

You are so welcome!☺️

[@CLdriver1960]

It’s like putting on an old pair of shoes: The fit is natural, and there’s a comfort and familiarity that words can hardly explain. I know I’m in my ‘happy place’ and in my element when something inside me says: I’m home. It’s relaxing, and somehow healing too. BTW, I like the colour, really looking forward to seeing the gray 😍

[@LadyBugout]

I like how you put that! Thanks for sharing it. Yes, the grey-I’m getting there 😜

[@tinabeane]

That food looks so good, yum!!! Very true and such WISE words. It takes time to realize that fact, but if it is meant to be it should not be full of stress and a fighting battle. I also think we need to be open and let what the universe sends our way, to open our eyes and heart. It is very powerful the energy you get from traveling and doing your own build, and then again finding those special people ... your tribe. Beautiful lady, big hug and thanks for sharing with us all. :*

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, that’s very kind of you. Yes, openness to whatever comes and letting go of what doesn’t need to stick☺️

[@chrissy24-7]

I had a pile of clothing in my bedroom, just kept adding and subtracting some here and there, meaning to deal with it some time. It fell over during the night. I wound up sorting thru it. Got rid of two boxes worth, found clothes I'd forgotten about, and a few that fit me again 😊 mostly, it felt so good to get it when i know what's there! Accomplishment can come from unexpected places 😊 nice video ❤

[@LadyBugout]

Yes, I like that story. Thanks for sharing it 😊

Always enjoyed your videos, but this one caught me on a Special note. Thanks Dee.😊 Stay Safe

[@TravelsWithSadie]

What an excellent topic and video! I’ve been full time for a year now, first in a minivan and now an xl passenger van. I love being outside all the time, and it calms my spirit. I find I’m still recovering from raising my second generation of kids plus an emotionally abusive marriage-it’s still hard to naturally do some of the activities I love (non-teen-oriented cooking, and art and embroidery especially) that were disparaged for so long. As I allow myself to take the time I need and let nature heal me, it’s much easier to let go of other’s expectations and do what is “for me”. Safe travels!

[@LadyBugout]

I love that! Thank you for sharing ☺️

[@kitty.foxx1]

[@Whydiss]

Your reflecting and thoughts are so true. I researched tiny house and van life for 10 years, wondering if I would have the courage to take the leap. Then the housing crisis hit and I was ‘ready’ to change my life within 4 weeks from a 4 bedroom house to a tiny house on wheels. Your bed design I copied! Thank you for pioneering this way of life.

[@LadyBugout]

Wow! That is amazing. I’m so glad everything fell into place as it should! ☺️🙌🏼💪🏼

Hey Ms. Dee. I had asked about this a long time ago(back before passenger seat removal). Had heard the phrase in a Star Trek Next Gen. episode, but it was more of a giving one's self as a property, and I like your use better. An ex-wife of mine was vegan and I enjoyed the grains she cooked up. She'd also make a meatloaf for me once in a while! Also enjoy your positive outlook, I hope you have a great day, and I am for you!
