Thank you so much for telling me this Claire! You made my day!!! 💗

Thank you! 😊

Thanks Marianne! It looks like they have locations about an hour from Detroit, as well as Chicago, if either of those is near to you. The pricing did vary at the Indiana location that I went to, but I managed to find several days in a row at their lowest price point, which was $75 a night. Best wishes in creating your own getaway experience. I’m sure you won’t regret it.

Totally get what you are saying with respect to your son. You are such an amazing mama! I am sure that a getaway with him would be delightful as well!

Which location have you gone to Kristen? I really would love to check out more of these. 🥰

Cool way to already be teaching your kids the value of disconnecting! 😊

Thanks so much Ellie! And here’s to celebrating you hitting that milestone soon too!

So true! Thank you! 🙏

💗 thanks so much 💗

Thank you! I appreciate you watching. 💕

@@parler8698 yes! That’s a good one. I have a people pleaser tendency, so this is something I have to be very intentional about.

It’s been quite some time since I watched this, but do remember enjoying it.

I am so glad it brought you some peace today! 🥰

I'm happy it resonated with you!

Absolutely! Thanks for watching! 💕

@@rozitaharun6979 Hi Rosita! I’m so with you that it is a healthier lifestyle. I wish I had figured out how to make it happen years ago. ❤️

Oh shoot! I am so glad you asked, as I have meant to put that in the description in case anyone was interested. It is called DandyBlend. I’ll add a link to their website here shortly.

@@jmbliving I'm definitely going to give it a try, thank you!

@@everwoodcottage of course! Let me know what you think. 🥰

All your videos are helpful and wonderful 💙💙

Hi Olivia! Nice to connect with you here! It’s so exciting to be anticipating this new chapter in your life. ❤️

Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching! ❤️

I love that you are using this time to be intentional about making changes that feel good for you. Much of my motivation for shifting the way I live was related to my health as well. Best wishes as you navigate the changes in your health and life and thank you for the recommendation for The Daily Connoisseur!❤️

A good place to start might be to ask yourself if there is anything you did in your younger years that you really enjoyed but have put by the wayside for some reason. Another good exercise might be to brainstorm and create yourself a bucket list. Here’s a link to a blog post I wrote with some thoughts on this. Lastly I’d suggest writing down each day one thing that made you happy so that over time you can see in black-and-white the simple things that you enjoy doing right now. Then the challenge is to radically simplify and organize life in a way that you can make space for some of these things now instead of having to wait until you retire. Hope this helps. 💜

Sounds like you have a wise momma. 💜

So....just lie like I usually do, even though I want to yell at everything. Tough habit to change.

@@dano247365 LOL kinda. To me, its more like trying not to let those things take over us and control how we act and react 😌✨

@@dano247365 well… even though I know this is not easy, I do think it is possible to shift your perspective (even if for a short time) in such a way that a statement that you are feeling a little better than you are currently feeling at that moment can be true. If you really are feeling lousy, perhaps the answer is “I am okay and you can manage to move yourself up to feeling that way, by thinking to yourself how things aren’t quite that bad.” I have to admit though, that there truly are days that I don’t feel even up to that. Some days I just let myself feel lousy and tell myself that tomorrow I am going to shift out of this. I do feel fortunate that I am able to do this. I think that a lot of gratitude practice for many years and a lot of practice at consciously shifting my perspective has helped. I was very blessed with some good mentors early in life and gratitude has got me through some very dark and depressing times. It may be a good place to start if most days you don’t feel as happy and well as you would like to.

I'm so glad it resonated with you! Entrepreneurship is a wonderful way to utilize the experience and wisdom you've obviously accumulated in your life and it certainly sounds like you have the attitude needed to be successful in it. Best wishes in whatever direction this takes you. 🥰

@@MargAbbottYou you are so welcome! Hope you get some good insights ❤️

Thanks so much for sharing this Suzanne! This truly is a life changing question if you keep asking it like you have. I also like that you’ve added an element of lightness to your decluttering project by making a game out of it. Great challenge! 🙌🏼

So true! Lately I have been very focused on being intentional with my time. I’m exploring how to find just the right balance between slowing down to enjoy life and be present and still being productive in a way that makes me feel good about how I am growing, learning and contributing. Thank you so much for sharing your experience here- it is certainly a good cautionary tale. It’s good that you are pushing yourself to find the right balance for you. ❤️

I’m 58 and I can relate to this . I’ve avoided highways since I went into menopause 4 years ago because suddenly I had my first panic attack while on the freeway and it came out of nowhere and ever since then I associate getting on the expressway with panic attacks so now I leave the house 1/2 hour earlier to account for taking the side streets. Watching people drive 70-80 mph made me feel anxious maybe because so many at texting and driving not sure but I try to keep myself as safe as posible I’m glad others are experiencing the same ❤

Thanks for sharing,these are my concerns with moving to the country side...your comments make them real and not just my fears,and need more of my attention,Thank you

@@Nami66148 how very scary. It is so nice to have a place where you can realize you are not alone in the way that you feel. ❤️

@@j.e.7028 it’s so good that you are thinking about these concerns now. Thinking more about Julie’s comment over the last week and similar thoughts and concerns I’ve heard from others, I decided to make this week’s video on balancing slow living with productivity. I hope you find the suggestions in it helpful. The video will be available in a couple of hours. ❤️

Thanks for sharing this. We could all bet from giving ourselves a little more grace and sometimes that’s a hard thing to get used to allowing. I like that you use the word intentional when you describe your choices for how you are living your life. I do think that being intentional is a key to feeling good about your journey through life. ❤️

Aw, thank you for letting me know you have been enjoying them. I do enjoy creating them, but it makes it so much more rewarding to know that someone is enjoying watching them too. ❤️
