My journey of slowing down & embracing the simple joys that make life beautiful.
Each week I take you along on my journey of learning how to slow down, live in rhythm with nature, love through cancer, and embrace the simple joys that make life magical.
Welcome, I am Rachel O'Bare and I live in a tiny mountain town in Colorado at 8440ft. I moved here at the start of the pandemic (March 2020) when I was quarantined with my husband Kyle after three months of dating. After just one year of dating, Kyle was diagnosed with brain cancer for the third time. This past four years has been about learning how to slow down even more, find optimism in struggle, love through cancer, and learn how to cultivate calm.
I am excited to share this journey of life with you. Shining light on the simple things that make life beautiful, and finding light in the darkness.

For those who are overthinkers
for those who are overthinkers this if for you! I’ve been told countless times I am an overthinker, when it happens it’s never said as a good thing. Yet, I don’t see it as a bad thing at all, if anything I think it is a gift. I think your overthinking is a gift we just have to change our perspective to see it as so.

A Gentle Day in the Midst of Chaos. Our world around us seems to be crumbling around us.

Think, think, think... whoever you are, wherever you are, don't stop thinking. You keep on thinking, I'll keep on going with the flow.
I was thinking about a mind that is in inquisitive is wonderful but overthinking or replaying things in your head is something I stop doing my life is so much more easier and I’ve made decision decisions to not rethink but being curious is a wonderful thing. It’s a way to learn explore and be able to be creative in your space
I completely understand what your saying but I wonder if allowing your self to invite the concept of inquisitor into the moments that would be deemed overthinking would allow it to be defused. To shift the perspective and help come to decision or let it go and come back when you can. Maybe? I don’t know something I’m exploring and playing with in my own mind.
@ doubting or replaying thoughts that are negative is not something that I do anymore but in my 40s I did it all the time. Now I try to do more exploration thank God for Google.
I’m glad you’ve found a way to channel it!!
I love this! I make myself crazy!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Maybe just reframing it will help you 🥰
This is a beautiful piece of art.
🥹🥹 thank you so much for watching 🤍🤍
❤AWESOME video. Thank you 🎉🎉
😊😊 so glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching!
This has got to be the very best video!! You are so very much wiser than your years. Kyle is so blessed to have a "over thinker" for a wife. Continue to be YOU and you will always find your center. I adore you and your videos.
🥹🥹 thank you so much for your kind words! So happy your enjoying this new style I’m playing with ✨ sending big love to you!
@@SimplyRachelOBare
Ps ….. best video yet!!!!
😭 that’s so kind, thank you!!! I’m glad you are enjoying this new style I am experimenting with ✨
The video is perfection!!! The colors and outside beauty is ❤
🥹🥹 thank you so much 🤍
I dont think you are over thinking ! Doing research is not over thinking ! To think about how to paint a wall for weeks is over thinking ! Some times we just need to do things, to try without think too kuch. Never seen you over think daily life stuff ! Dont stop think and research to make uour life better, dont stop be you !! 😘😘
@@ninaanetteassarsson4328 thank you! I definitely can be stuck thinking thinking but yes the taking action is what matters most!! Gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other
@SimplyRachelOBare Yep...cant just go with the flow....have to figure out whats best for our self ! Big changes and life challenges need a lot of thinking...small ones..just do it..Think you know what Im talking about.
I completely get what your saying! I think I’ve been called an overthinker because I try to understand everything. Even thing that maybe don’t “matter” I think about what I think about. Again I don’t think 😂 it’s a bad thing.
Oh girl!!! I can assure you that you are not the only overthinker! I am constantly working on managing that so that it’s something that works for me and not against me ❤ Just like you, when my husband was seriously ill, my persistence and trying to find other options is why he is healthy today. BTW, Kyle looks great!😊
We are in this together, changing that perspective to see that very active mind as a gift. I really think it is even if society doesn’t see it that way.
@@SimplyRachelOBareAgreed ❤

Turn to Jesus He loves you, He is the healer of the body And savior of the soul, There is True Hope in Jesus, God protects Psalms 91 He is the God of miracles Acts 2:21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved Jesus alone saves Trust Him with your salvation John 3:16 1 Corinthians 15 1-4 Moreover Brethren, i declare unto you the gospel which i preached unto you, which also ye have received, and with wherein ye stand By which also ye are saved, if you keep in memory what i preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain, For i delivered unto you first of all that which i also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures, Take care
Lovely. Yes, chaos necessitates we find the beauty. And within it, there is actually endless possibilities. Sending love your way 💗
Thank you for watching 🥹 so glad it resonated with you! Sending you big love
Thank you again so much for sharing your experience. I’m feeling super hopeful about starting Wellbutrin tomorrow. It’s helpful to see your videos & know that it can take some time to get thru the side effects before you actually feel the benefits. Your overwhelm with these times resonates deeply-so much of what you’ve shared resonates! Looking forward to seeing how you improve & what my Wellbutrin experience will be. Just subscribed 💗
I hope your doing well taking Wellbutrin! It only gets better and you’ve got this, the first 4 days were hard for me but stick with it if you also experience it. Sending you big love 💕
I don't know... you are the light in my life. I love you to Beetlejuice and back!
🥰🥰 love you
9:19 This is great news!! 💫 Btw, I would like to connect my wife, who also has GBM, with the doctor you mentioned. Could you please share the name of Kyle's doctor?
I’m so sorry to hear your also on this journey. We are sending you both so much love and healing. We cannot recommend Dr. Kris Smith at Barrow neurological institute enough!!
@@SimplyRachelOBare Thanks for sharing! One last thing-have you considered or started on the fenbendazole route?
Your home is so beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much ☺️
im on effexor 150 forever for anxiety. Im glad i have a second life in Heaven so that i live without it. I cant stop or reduce it, my anxiety would skyrocket.
Hey from Colorado
Hello 👋🏻 🏔️
Just live your life. Fear is the enemy and will keep anyone sick.
Right! Do not worry about things you have no control off. Enjoy every present moment you have!🥰
I wish it was that easy but the things that are happening could severely directly impact us. It’s scary and it has us on high alert
Kyle’s speech and his ability to put words together have gotten so much better, in comparison to a weeks before this video! I’m so happy for the both of you, I hope and pray that this next year is filled with improving health both physically and mentally, and I hope that by this time next year things will be exponentially better ❤
Thank you so much ☺️ Kyle is truly improving everyday! His speech therapy has been so instrumental in this path to healing!
I had to stop watching the news. I feel you too.😢
I completely understand that, it’s a scary time. It’s hard to want to stay informed.
Its not only the United States,the whole world is a big mess thanks to our previous administration. Now we have hope and a chance for a better,safer world 🙏
I hear so many that are worried in the US, I would be too !! Dont let that eat you up and stressed out. Take care of you, enjoy your cosy home and million $ view 😘😘😘
So many are worried and rightfully so. We are very worried about what will come for Kyle and his ability to receive the care he needs. It’s hard to look away when at any moment our lives could change.
@SimplyRachelOBare Its crazy whats going in your country right now ! I would be worried as well ! Dont know what to say. 😘😘😘
🩵💙💖🙏🙏🥰😘

Palo Santo - my favorite!!!!!
@@sineriafrankenstein7316 it smells divine doesn’t it?
@SimplyRachelOBare yes it does smell divine and it lingers!! I use the sticks and the essential oil.
Your home is calming and relaxing. I love that. I need to start my yoga practice up again, it just gets me out of my own head for that time each day.😊
@@lisamercier391 thank you I really do love this little healing oasis we’ve created! I am cheering you on to start up that yoga practice you got it and it’s gonna make you feel so good!
my love is something that has no bounds, my love has a longer life than that of a 110 year old man (ha). What ever you chose, I am here with you, by your side. I love you!
☺️☺️ love you!
My heart is celebrating you Rachel 🥰
Thank you it feels good to feel good!
I am so happy for you, I can tell you are feeling good it shows on your beautiful face. Cheers.
Thank you ☺️ that’s very line of you!
Lunar New Year 🧧
Happy Lunar new year!!
I did wonder because those with GBM typically only have 18 months to live. It's wonderful he doesn't have Glioblastoma.
There are so many incredible stories of people having much longer lives even with GBM we just spoke to two different men who are both going on 3 years since diagnosis and doing amazing! A reminder there is always hope!
@@SimplyRachelOBare I think you have more treatment options in the US than we have in NZ. And, I guess there have been new developments since my brother passed from GBM five years ago. This is wonderful to hear people living longer with it.
@ I’m so sorry to hear about your loss my heart goes out to you and your family. I’m not sure if anything is better here but I do know there are amazing studies coming out of Australia!
@@SimplyRachelOBare Thank you. He was my soul-sibling so it's been difficult, but I've come to a place of accepting that it was his time. I love watching your story unfold and wish you both every bit of success, and luck, and all the things. Although I know luck has little to do with positive outcomes, it's always hard work and tenacity that brings wins. Love to you both. ❤
Glad your feeling better. You look happy 😊
Thank you I really am feeling more and more like myself!
I am so elated that you have given yourself this gift of help. There is no difference taking Wellbutrin than me taking my meds fir my thyroid. We all need help at times and there is no shame in doing what ever helps us feel like ourselves again! Love seeing you smile and seem so much more relaxed.
Thank you, your right there is no shame and it’s truly a gift that I’m beyond grateful for 🤍✨
So happy your sticking with it, took me 5 weeks before I was feeling so much better ❤ Well done 🎉
That’s so good to know! I definitely started to see the shift at 3.5 weeks and just keeps getting better. So glad I stuck with it!
Wellbutrin takes about 6 weeks to fully feel the effect.
Yes! I am excited to see how I continue to feel in the coming weeks 🥰
Great news Rachel, so happy that you are feeling much better. Love you😘🤗🙏
Thank you! It sure does feel good to feel good!
It is amazing isn't it. So glad you stayed with it.
A world of a difference! So so glad I didn’t throw in the towel!
I’m so glad you’re feeling better ♥️
Thank you so much ☺️
I am so glad to hear you're feeling better,, awesome news!❤🩹
Thank you it feels good 🥰
Kyle is so blessed to have you. You are a very knowledgeable young lady.
Thank you that’s very kind! Although I never thought I’d know so much about brain cancer in this lifetime!
It does take a moment to get on the right dose and for the medicine to start working well for you. So glad to hear it is working well now ❤.
Your so right and you want the results right away but the patience is so important!
@ this medication has completely changed and helped family members in my life. So thankful it exists and works.
I’m so so thankful that it exists as well!
I'm so glad bupropion (Wellbutrin) is working. So often it takes trying a few meds before finding one that works for you.
I am so glad it’s kicking it, it’s truly life changing!!
WoooooHOOOOOOOO

Plan accordingly... A stage 4 astrocytoma, when not classified as a glioblastoma, generally has a poor prognosis with a median survival time ranging from 12-18 months, with only a small percentage of patients surviving beyond 5 years; this is largely dependent on the presence of an IDH mutation, where a positive mutation can indicate a slightly better outlook compared to an IDH-wildtype tumor. Key points about stage 4 astrocytoma (not glioblastoma): Median survival: Typically around 12-18 months. Survival rate: Only about 25% of patients survive for more than a year, and only 5% survive for more than 5 years. IDH mutation: Presence of an IDH mutation can be associated with a slightly better prognosis. Treatment options: Surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible, followed by radiation therapy and potentially chemotherapy
@@rileymccoy8040 i believe this was well intended but Kyle is not a statistic and has shown that time and time again. They gave him 3-6months to live over 20 years and here is and that tumor is gone! We have hope and that means more that science can prove
He has battled this for 20 years and outlived all of the predictions. I think it’s rude of you to write what you did.
Love this so much! 💖💖💖
Isn’t it just the best?! 🥰🥰
He looks so much better! And I’m very lucky for you to have no more seizures and progressing so well! Much love from Germany!❤
Thank you we are just over the moon at how things are going!!
Really really really good news it's not a glioblastoma. Plus Kyle is looking really well.
Thank you ☺️ we are overjoyed!
Look out Colorado Kyle's driving again. Yay!! Good luck to a long life and no more tumors.
☺️☺️ thank you May it be so!!
Great news for you both sending positive thoughts and prayers
Thank you so much ☺️
Awesome news!,,,, 💙🦋💙
We are so excited about it too! 💙🦋💙
