Just found your channel randomly 💜 Such a beautiful story of massive triumph, perseverance and hope. Thank you for all you share here! You’re an inspiration to this 43 year old 🤪💜
For those looking for a cheaper option to the body pillow, and can do with something slightly smaller, a _king_ sized pillow might be just the thing. I picked one up at Wal-Mart years ago and have been using it ever since. It's just perfect.
So great to hear your story... Lived in Eugene for 15 years, Portland for 5 more - and been living on the road myself for most of past 4 years... Your courage and appreciation and spirit are so admirable. Keep it up. You will be an inspiration to your followers!...
So happy you got your life back on track. You're an inspiration!
What a lovely organization!🥰 I'm so glad you've come out the other side of a very tough year!
You are such a joy to watch and so Inspirational! I’m so happy that things are working out for you. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I have learned so much from you, as I plan my RV journey. Wish you the best of luck always.
Their kindness is awesome! Good luck on your journey!
My mom already put flex solar panel n made her own tool box power bank with charge controller n USB ports n 5 35amp hrs lithium recharge,, n convertir,, it’s powered,, now she needs to do her inside, I can’t wait to see
That sounds like an amazing program!!! Glad they were so open minded to your journey!! Congrats
Gods Blessings sweet girl....I wish you joy, laughter, safety and happiness....pray....God is and will always be your best friend....hugs
Blessings a hundredfold to everyone who made it possible for your new life journey.🙏🏻👍🏻
They helped you, and now YOU are helping others with your videos.
You should reach out to "The Dawn of Vanlife" since she is also a full-time van dweller. She is currently working in Oregan until the end of April, when she will go back to the SF Bay area.
I love Dawn!! She's in Ashland which is a few hours south of here. I would love to pick her brain and talk van stuff with her. 💖
@@MyBasicJourney ... That's fabulous. Hopefully the both of you can do a meet-up. Best wishes for you with everything.
@@bhat_ysrael thank you so much! I hope so too!
I was 10 miles away and tried to contact her last 2 weeks, but she never responded. I think she has been really busy.
So many blessings after the storm. So happy and proud of you❤️
💖💖💖 thanks, Allison! Excited to be on the road. (:
@@MyBasicJourney if it rains but still some sun. Just put the solar in front window. Also is helps as a window cover.
Awe you are making me cry. My gosh so much you had to deal with, but glad things turned out for the very best. That is awesome how Shelter Care stepped up to help you and THEN to support and help with your dream ... WOW!!!!! Truly blessed
So excited that you're getting into your van fulltime. I like that folding table!
Yeah!! Thanks(: It used to feel like forever away, but it's here! Feeling all the feels. Lol
So happy for you. I hope living in your van is everything you thought it’d be 🥰
That’s so sad death or debt. What a choice.😞 I’m glad everything fell into place for you
@Titan Malik Nope. Not creepy at all...
I love those fake succulents! What a neat idea with that foldable toilet. I had one for my kids, but had no idea they made them for adults!
I pray your life is made better with this new venture. Lots of people are doing it and loving it. All the best.
Thank you! It has already been made better. Even just the community surrounding this lifestyle gives me hope for the future to come. Much appreciated, Janet! ✌❤😊
So happy for you! Viewed three of your videos and subscribed 'cause your a sweetheart and your are uplifting. May your world be blessed
Spectacular video. Truly! There are good people on this earth. And you celebrated them with this video.
Wow that's really nice of them to help you out. Getting ready to move in that's awesome. You look like you are ready... hope everything is working out for you.. take care .. your story was interesting how van life came about..
I’m sure your gratitude makes these wonderful peoples job very fulfilling.
Wow I’m so glad I went back and am watching your earlier videos. You have been through quite a lot but as they say good things happen to good people and you are a good person! ❤️
That was very wise of you that you got insured through Oregon. You never know with health, believe me.,
those that never have problems can have a lot more than they can expect. Also you graciously ask for help, and this experience will definitely help others.
Great video , I think you’re doing awesome. MAKE sure you detach the gas one stove from propane bottle in between cooking because another TH-cam person has lots of experience and it will blow out your propane hose regulator if you keep it attached , You’ll need order another gas hose from gas one. Ps no one else carries those types of hoses. Just trying to be helpful. Proud of you think you’re doing good. 💕💕 saw your Chrome sticker I follow him as well. 😁🌸🌸😁😁😁
Renea!!! Omg, Haha! My next video (sunday) I ask about this! I didn't know that and just kept it connected and it blew! I didn't know what happened, but I ask about it, and why that would happen. I've already ordered a new hose, but dang! Lol Do you think that's the reason they're going out so fast too? The bottles are only lasting a few days to a week. I am using it 3 times a day. I also make a lot of rice and potatoes (things that take a while to cook.)
Also, I just ordered the hose from Amazon. It wasn't the gas one brand, but it it fits just fine.
Omg I love shelter care!!!!!!!!! YOU ROCK!!! XOXOXOXOXOX. I'm crying..
Very sorry to hear of your illness. Happy that you are better. If you do a lot of soda it can cause gallstones. Your van is lovely. Take care and stay safe!!
Wow that’s so fantastic that they believe in your vision and we’re on board to change course and help you in that way!
Wow you were very sick. Glad you got to the hospital and you are better now. Enjoying your videos.
So happy to know that your guardian angels a.k.a. Shelter Care were able to help you ❤❤❤❤
You're really strong.
You had the right mindset at the right time.
Keep it up
Great story....wish you and joey well....look forward to your next video

This vid brought tears to my eyes...I can relate to your story and may tell u in future comments. I am a new subscriber and will be binge watching your videos, but I have to get to sleep. Nighterzzzz 😴
Just happened upon your channel...what a story you've had in such a young life! I wish you so much luck in your journey...listening to your story, there is some serious serendipity happening, making sure that supports are around you when you need them most! May that continue into the future!🥰
Loved the tapestry idea! I'm going to get an owl tapestry and hang it on the wall of my camper. May get several different ones, over time, to change up the look.
I just started watching your posts and totally relate. I need to stop working as an RN and start living out of my CRV. I love your humbleness and positivity. ❤️🙏🏽💪🏽
Wonderful transition! Good luck on your new journey.💯👍
Thanks!! 😊✌💖
Your a strong woman, very happy for you. I'm setting up my own mini van. Might see you on the travel's some day. 😎👍

Wow great video I enjoyed it so much thanks for sharing your personal story
glad your feeling better
Wow! They were amazing...
God bless you on your journey! You are just the sweetest. What a beautiful spirit you have. I can see it through your videos🤗🤗🤗
I just discovered your channel...I know, where have I been? Anyway, you are an absolute delight! I love your can do attitude. I've been at a low point for awhile...you have lifted my spirits! Thank you from California!
You are SO beautiful! I JUST bought a minivan and you have given me SO many ideas. I'm excited to watch your journey! I live in Portland Oregon. Thank you for sharing your amazing van build. You are incredibly inspiring!! Coleen
Hello beautiful! My name is Cassandra Lewis. The reason for introducing myself is that I can't get this PC to switch over from my husband's name to my name. I should have known that those eyes belonged to a beautiful Gemini woman! We share the same sign! And I was heavily into astrology at one time. You're defineately expressing your Gemini creativity with your minivan! Love it! Well I'm forever grateful that Shelter Care came to your rescue! And enjoy a beautiful nomad life dear!
Thank you so much, Cassandra! This comment made my day! Gemini love(: I appreciate all the kindness. 🙏💖
Awesome support and help! Love how they respect you and your desires and dreams! Shout out to them and you too!😎
I’m so glad the organization was able to help you. I’ve seen other videos where the foldable solar panels can be on the dashboard if you’re needing to charge but don’t want to leave the panels outside. Good luck!
Solar in the dash is a great idea!! 💖✌
Wonderful! I am so happy for you! I just started converting a van. Love your content!
Many blessings on your sacred journey. May it serve you well 🙏🏼
Thank you so much! (:
Beautiful story
Wishing you continued flourishing!
You deserve it!
Chantal, you might want to view the "Are Buddy heaters safe inside an RV?..." video on You Tube and read the comments section. Apparently if one uses a commercial CO detector, as opposed to a household one, the detector will show that the Buddy heaters emit a significant amount of CO. It sounds like maybe using diesel fuel is a good way to minimize CO output too.
Yay a gemini. My two closest friends are a gemini even though I'm a capricorn. Thanks for sharing this story.
Yay girl I’m so excited for you! Can’t wait to see your journey in the van! And so glad you had such an amazing experience with shelter care they seem like good people.🙌🏼🙏🏼👏🏼
Thanks, Jessi! Yes, they are wonderful. 💖💖
I'm happy for you! Your a sweet gal! I wish you every happiness!
You could use the covers for clothes, good storage and functional......
Beautiful outcome for you, enjoy your life long journeys. There ARE GOOD PEOPLE OUT THERE🥰
Thanks, Greg. There sure are some great folks. I'm a lucky gal!💖✌
Wow honey.What a lovely young lady you are.You are so cute and thankful for everything.
Beautiful -I'm subbed and I'm looking forward to following you.
I'm a kiwi 'New Zealand ' and I have pretty much the same van.Im locked down for the 6th week now so watching a lot of TH-cam. Stay safe.Always follow you gut feelings.Do not be afraid to say NO or get lost if you don't feel 100% safe.
Catch ya gurl
Ommggg. 💖 NZ is on the top of my bucket list. If you ever make videos of your travels there, let me know! Thank you so much for all the kind words.🥰
God was & always will bless you, watch over you & protect you. Please never forget that 😊🙏❤️.
Congratulations! After spending all day cleaning parts of my house I really want to hurry up and get my van ready for some adVANtures LOL

That is such a cool story. So happy you found that place. I think you are really sweet.

I am so excited for you. Your van looks amazing.
Thank you! 💖
love the tapestry on the ceiling it looks so good! I am so happy you got a solar panel. You look like you a ready to go full time. Joey looks so happy snuggled up next to new pillow. I'm a Gemini too! PS watched the vegan documentary, and I am working on getting there.
Heck yeah, fellow Gemini! Lol That's so awesome that you're interested in veganism(: Thank you very much, Hope!
@@MyBasicJourney how did you end up attaching that to your roof?
💐🌸wished I were near you to hang out and talk, I’m feeling anxiety ugh nearing the time to leave this situation so came to your channel to keep my thoughts & preparations grounded & focused🌸💐
You sweet thing!! I’m so sorry you had to go through all that!! I’m so glad you were able to get the help, that is so wonderful!
Aww thank you, Laura. 💖 I really appreciate the kind words.
Love you too! Godspeed❤
your videos are SO helpful
That was cool of them to help you like that
I'm in Hermiston and am planning to do the very same thing. I'm gonna go watch all your build vids :)
Wow. The stars 🌟 were aligned for you ! That is amazing all the help you received ! Also , i work for a towing company and AAA is the way to go.
Ps Cancer here 👋
Hey girl, hope you are doing ok during all this. Definitely a setback for my plans lol
Thank god healthcare is free here, in my country (Argentina)... We don't have those problems... It's not a perfect system but you don't have to worry about money when it comes to see a doctor... I had the same problem with my gallbladder and has surgery in a firth class hospital... It was amazing... I hope you can understand my poor english... Your channel it's great. Greetings from Argentina. ❤🇦🇷
Your English is great! Better than most Americans. Our health care system isn't the only thing failing us. A good education is hard to come by unless you have money. Thank you so much for the kind words! 🥰❤
@@MyBasicJourney - Oh, thanks (❤) but... No, thank YOU for show us your your journey... We can see so much through your eyes and your experiences... So peacefull lifestyle... I'm saving money for vanlife and it won't be soon but i'm happy with only think that i'll be doing that beautiful lifestyle one day. Anyways, i love your channel. It's so positive and honest. Hugs. 😊
Excellent, explanation, good luck, love your videos they so detailed.
Thanks happy trails be safe take care. God be with you.
I live in Oregon as well, wishing you the best !!!
I like that porta potty. I've never seen one so compact.
I heard Gemeni and I’m hooked bc I am too lol! Love this channel and I wanna do van life so bad!
....get a used 225w solar panel off Ebay and store on slide out rails under your cargo box!
Girl , I'm super proud of you. P.s I need your patron account link please.

Watching you from my van with my elbow against the plastic lol van life!
Oooh...your video answered my question as to why you remind me so much of my daughter. You are both Gemini! Her birthday is June 19th. (I am a cancer 6/26.)
Yay, Geminis!! Wish her a happy birthday for me.💖
WoW you are so sweet and adorable - God Bless you. I am in a similar situation after three surgeries on my legs. I am in the process of looking for a van (Toyota Sienna) and will be doing a build similar to yours. Thank you for sharing your story. Be safe.

Yaaayyy!!! This is amazing. I am so happy for you!
Omgosh...you poor thing. You must’ve been really stressful, thinking of the money you’d owe after hospital.
Outstanding care from shelter care...
I, too, am a pillow hoarder. I’d leave food behind for pillows...and blankets. I’ve got a blanket thing too,not just pillows.
You are blessed asking you shall receive
