    Hi Maddie! I have been thinking of starting my own crafts business but I got scared and overwhelmed by the process and if someone would purchase it. When I saw your video on small business on the road, it made me rethink what I am afraid of. And now, I finally got the courage to start my business with scrunchies at first and got a few sales. I would totally say, if I hadn't saw your video, I would still be dreaming of starting it and not doing anything to purchase my dreams. Your videos inspires me so much. Thank you!

      I would be wary of Etsy or Shopify because their charges can be exorbitant. Perhaps you could set up your own website to sell your crafts, because that way you keep in more control of your expenditure. Good luck with your business venture! ~Wendi 🌻

      @@mystievann2192 You’re welcome! Good luck with your small business! Very exciting. Remember, the worst thing that could happen is if you don’t try, then you’ll never know if it could’ve been successful. I know this first hand from many many times I didn’t at least try with selling things in my small business as I was afraid of failing and figured if I just didn’t bother starting then I wouldn’t fail. Which is wrong because you will never succeed at anything in life if you don’t at least try. Sorry if that sounds convoluted, I just took my night time meds and falling asleep. Good luck!

    Maddie, I absolutely love your videos, your van, Eliza and you so much! You have a beautiful spirit and such a presence on camera. Glad to see you in Oregon, my home state, which I recently returned to after twenty years away. I’ve also done van life here in the PNW and truck life for many years on a S Pacific Island...it does teach us so many things. New subscriber here! Blessings and much Aloha 🙏💜🌎☮️🌎💜🙏🐾🐾💕

    Hi Maddie. I am a new subscriber, and this is the very first video of yours that I have watched. It is almost impossible for me to find the words adequate enough to fully convey what a treasure and gift this video is to me. From the very first scene, I was captivated. From the gorgeous scenery and cinematography; to your absolutely soothing, gentle, and peaceful spirit; and to the truly and endearingly genuine and sincere way that you let us into your very special space and world; I found it hard to contain my soul from soaring. You are a kindred spirit, Maddie; a true treasure in this world. And this video is now one of my all-time favorites. It's like you put into captivating words, sentiments, feelings, and images, the "soul" of your van life experience; and I am so very grateful for that. I sincerely wish you all the happiness in the world, Maddie. May all your hopes anad dreams come true. 😊

    Love your videos Maddie 🥰 I found you through your video about van life with a dog, and I'm amazed by how happy and well behaved Eliza looks! I am starting my journey of living on the road in my SUV this winter with my dog Chai. I am wondering if you can make another video about van life with Eliza, talking about any training you do, any precautions you take to keep her safe, where you feel comfortable to have her off leash, how you keep her on a good feeding schedule, how to clean her paws off before she goes in the van, how you think she likes living on the road, etc.
    Thank you so much! 💖

    I love your idea of a “quick breakfast”. Broccoli, carrots, bell pepper all mixed together in a stir fry with undisclosed yellow-ish goo drizzled in! My idea of a quick breakfast is a piece of toast! If I’m feeling particularly rakish, I might smear some honey on it!

  • @Aco747lyte
    @Aco747lyte 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The greatest help to your lifestyle choice has been your wonderful friends who committed themselves to looking out for you. You also have a loyal following on TH-cam, and a small artwork business, so you are not nearly as alone as you sometimes feel, and you have a decent income that enabled your buying that beautiful Sony camera. Your filming has become absolutely outstanding, the editing and drone footage all showing how highly skillful you are. Maddie, you are on solid ground and with time, will doubtless become greater.

  • @PatrickPoet
    @PatrickPoet 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you want to give coffee another try, switching to a dark roast. The heat of roasting gradually breaks down the caffeine, so the darker the roast the lower the caffeine. I can't drink light roasts because of anxiety and can only have one or two medium roasts, but a dark roast like a French roast I can drink several of and I'm fine:) That way you still get all the health benefits of coffee. It has more antioxidants than anything else we eat or drink and reduces incidence of several types of cancer by considerable amounts.
