วีดีโอ

I understand this gentle awakening so well, Lisa - mine has occurred in its own time, after every grieving process following the loss of my nearest and dearest (two legged and four legged). This was a lovely video, beautifully narrated and filmed. Yes, it’s true - we are wherever we are - wherever we go, we take ourselves along with us. We cannot escape that, ever. ❤❤❤ Your home is beautiful 😍

A tough reflection to have in a way. Can relate.

I love this, thank you. I'm with you on the roll and crisps. Add some Branston pickle to take it to the next level! 😊

I live in the Surrey Hills, very beautiful but peace is hard to find, under the flight path for Gatwick, cars, motorbikes, off roaders, cyclists, runners, other walkers. I tend to walk the dog very early or very late to minimise contact with people, I seek out the less visited spots or I go to the busy spots on rainy days when no one is around. The joy of doing a walk and not passing a single other person is a rare and beautiful thing, but so is an unexpected meeting, stopping a while to talk, especially with older people. Before Christmas one sparklingly cold sunny morning I met a man in his 80s walking slowly though the vineyard I walk in often, we put the world to rights for about 20 minutes. He'd had a major heart operation and each day he walks through the vineyard trying to go just a few steps further every day before turning around and heading for home. I'm always aware when I take time to talk to people that they may not have spoken to another soul for days, you get a feel for whether people want to stop awhile or not. Often I meet widows/widowers who are quite elderly whether that's out walking or on a trip to the market or shops and you just know that they need that small talk, a smile and some connection.

Heeey! You're back!! Beautiful message, beautiful video, love this new editing style. ❤️❤️❤️ And fantastic shots and music ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your videos are so grounding, they bring me back to myself, thank you. I've spent years online looking at houses and places I'd like to move to, including my long held dream of Italy, I've wasted not just hours but months of time dreaming about how much better my life could be if we could move instead of looking at what I do have and appreciating it, having gratitude but most of all love for our home. Finally, slowly, little by little I am coming home, it's been a long road to get here but one saying I hold onto now is this, wherever you go, there you are. I was continually wanting to run from the imperfect, the stress, the problems and myself, and it's not possible. Even if we were in a position to upsticks and go, which we are not due to our business, I can't move away from me or my problems, they will exist whether I live her in the south, move to the cotswolds, Wales, Yorkshire, Scotland, Ireland or even Italy or France. That realisation has helped me to begin to find peace and acceptance and gratitude for all that I have in this present moment. This moment is all any of us have, the past is gone, the future may or may not happen for us, we must strive to live with awareness, gratitude, acceptance, peace and joy in each moment that we are given. x

I hate I missed the premier but Lisa this video is so so soooo good! It’s everything, you did a beautiful job. Are crisps what Americans call chips? I put chips on my sandwiches lol. I love you ❤

Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing what most of us feel but can't always articulate. God bless

Oh Lisa, I got emotional with your video today. I loved it so much! You are right that the hardest thing of all is to start, but once you do, most of the times it all keeps rolling. Loved to see your cozy space as well. Great video, Lisa 💖 By the way, bun and chips? What is that??? 🤣🤣🤣

Love this!

I feel the same. I'm quickly overwhelmed when looking around me with everything needing doing and just like you said, getting started with one small thing can get the energy rolling and moves you out of that frozen still overwhelm. I like taking baby steps... actions so small you can't fail at them but they get you rolling in the positive direction.

Thank you to everyone who arrived at the premiere, means so much , godbless you all beautiful community🥰 let me know your thoughts in the comments below. This was the first voice over i have done on this channel, i really liked this way of editing and sharing my message, hugs ,appreciate you all xx

🥳💞

Oh my, I’m in the exact same place. My head feels full of input and the past couple of years I took soooo many classes and things. Now I need output 😅

Love sent x Love that cozy garden of yours!

Hi, I completely agree. I have a TH-cam channel myself. I don't think I've ever said the words like share or subscribe in any of my videos LOL. Also my channel is monetized but I did not choose to have memberships and different levels. I make a tiny income from advertisements. For myself I cannot afford other people's memberships and I feel like I've been denied access to the most important things they have to say. I do not ever want any of my subscribers to feel that. I basically started my channel to find like-minded people to share my life experience with. I am happy TH-cam suggested your video. I like your Vibe and I have subscribed to see what else you have to say 🙂

I think you're just more private person. That is ok. Introverts still belong but I get the feeling. My "not belonging" comes from living in 3 different countries throughout my life so far. My mentality is from neither here or there now. I'm my own thing... but I still belong with people I care about and who care about me, that's ok with me and the rest doesn't matter. Being authentic can also give a feeling of not belonging. You can stand out with your uniqueness (which we all have but some dim it down to fit in) this can cause the feeling of not belonging because you don't feel like or agree with conforming to social norm. I feel more people should display their uniqueness and that could be the norm. I don't know, it's interesting food for thought though. Craving solitude and crying to release the energy of our emotions is all normal, good and very healthy. Balancing needs has always been hard in family setting and taking time for you will help you to be better for others later on, otherwise frustrations can build up and we can show up as short tempered, frazzled and not the people we want to be for our loved ones.

I like my own company too.

That’s extraordinary- I’m probably 15-20 years your senior and too, can count the places I lived before leaving home using all fingers and toes. When that happens to you, it’s only the consistency of the natural wild /wirld will fill your heart and soul. You are blessed. ❤

It's true, I hate it when people make contact with you and immediately they share 'how I can help you' comments. It's so off putting! 😕

I’m so glad I found this video and you! I’m a fellow Scot ❤ we have a lot in common it seems 😊

Great video, thank you! I'm trying to cut down on my consumption of other people's ideas and words so I can hear my own. It's not easy! There are so many ways to distract ourselves these days. But I'm a few days off the Meta apps and already I feel more myself than I've been for a long time.

Your thoughts on "consuming" are something I've been pondering lately esp in relation to my creative energy. I love TH-cam for all the varied and in depth content. It's helped me grow as a person and a self taught artist. I've realized tho, in the past year or so, my tendency to look outward for direction, instruction. I have abandoned my own self, my own knowingness, my internal guidance and creative spark. I have lost touch with my own creative source, lost trust in my own process because I was so busy trying to figure out what other creatives were doing. I just stumbled upon your video today and am grateful to know that others are also on the path to reclaiming themselves. So comforting to know I have company on this journey. Thank you!

I can't believe we made a video on the same topic at the same time 😂, it makes me think there was something in the air for sure! I've always had more or less the same feeling as you describe: not being comfortable with a big group of people, feeling not understood... until I started to find people who did understand me. Then I started to wander that perhaps, it was the place that was "wrong". Maybe we'll find out our own answer one day. Great video Lisa, sending you lots of love! 💕

Yet again, I resonated with so much of what you said ❤I also feel like I never fitted in. Now I realise I don't want to 'fit in', I only ever want to be welcomed as me. Have you seen Brene Brown on the difference between fitting in and belonging? Keep on shining your beautiful light ✨

Sending hugs and appreciation for your heartfelt sharing 🤗🫶🏻 “Silence IS golden” and required to maintain ones equilibrium.

Love your videos! Not sure if you saw it but I shouted you out in one of my last videos thank you for always watching my stuff and commenting ❤

I prefer one to one too. Im not good in group situations. Get so overwhelmed. 😊

Ya I’ve never really felt like I belong either 😵‍💫🥴😔 that’s ok though 💖💖

I’m the same I prefer one on one instead of a group 🥰😍

I can really relate to this, I definitely need time alone in nature to recharge and feel myself again! It is really difficult at times when there are so many different demands on us , and I get very influenced by the energies around me, nature can be such a soothing balm! I am fortunate to live mostly in a wild part of the west highlands , but today I am in Inverness. I still managed to go for a long walk by the river and saw a heron sitting on top of a lamp post . ❤

Giving/sharing without expectation of receiving - no hidden agenda to cash-in somewhere down the line. Is this what you are saying? ❤ If yes, you are on the right path. Letting your heart lead you. That’s the magic formula.

Once again, you’ve hit the nail on the head! I couldn’t agree more. At 40, thanks to hormonal shifts, our brains really do change, it’s not just a saying, it’s backed by science. As one expert put it, we reach a fork in the road: either we go outward, into distraction or denial, or inward, into the heart and mind, where true transformation begins. And then you realise, all those courses and answers were already within you, just waiting for the right key. Life is the school, experiences the lessons, and people the teachers. Thank you for your grounded, cozy approach, your platform feels like a safe space in an often chaotic world. I loved the shoeless grounding, clever girl. I do the same here on Paros, and it’s so freeing and healing.. Maybe I’ll get to interview you someday. Until then, enjoy the day with your girls and every lovely moment it brings.

Totally understand were you are coming from having seen lots of courses being offered to me as I travel a path or spiral with goddess I decided I didn’t need it all we all have different ways of connecting and communicating some of us are solitary some of us have a few friends we circle with but we all connect differently and at 54 tomorrow I decided I’m going to do it my way 🤣🌹💕 much love and blessings to a beautiful soul 🌹💕

I completely understand high levels of agitation 🎯🎯🎯 lol 😅

💖💖💖

Love the message! You go for it 💪

Hey 😊

💞

Cant wait!!

New sub here! Love your content 😊

Somehow, your channel came to me. because it always does, just when I need it most. Thank you for being so down-to-earth, raw, adorable, and so truthful about this phase we’re all going through. You’re spot on about how all our inner stuff is coming to the surface right now. And let’s not forget the big ones, sleep issues and the anxiety that comes with them. It’s like, can we catch a break? But yes, the days are flying by, and in the middle of it all, self-care and self-love are so important. It’s a reminder that it’s okay if we don’t always have the energy, the best moods, or feel like being the fun-loving person we usually are. I’m also starting my own TH-cam channel, and let me tell you, I’m absolutely petrified about being judged. But I know in my heart I’m not doing this just for me, I’m doing this for everyone out there who feels lonely or is going through hard times. Some might be battling illness, some might be grieving a loss. Whether it’s sleep-deprived nights or just feeling stuck, I want to create something that connects us all. I’m planning to interview creators of all kinds because I feel like this is something I need to do, especially as I go through perimenopause. It’s a ride, isn’t it? But even though it’s wild and unpredictable, it’s also beautiful and exhilarating in its own way. I overcame chronic illness four years ago and healed myself, so I know that strength is already within me, and now, I’m learning to embrace this new chapter. It’s a rollercoaster, but I’m determined to lean into it. We really do need to embrace and support one another during times like these. Thank you for sharing this precious gem of wisdom. And yes, the music truly is divine, it’s like it knows exactly what we need. Here’s to peeling back the layers, finding strength in the mess, and holding each other up along the way. ❤

What cacao do you buy?

How dare you call marvellous Oscar annoying!!

This resonates deeply. I don't know what the answer is, but my life feels unsustainable trying to manage it as I have in the past. Maybe we're more able to grind it out or have more energy before pre peri? I have days where everything feels so overwhelming and like I'm losing my mind. Trying to figure out how to live more purposefully and slowly while balancing the requirements of life is where I'm at right now. Thanks for sharing.
