Quiet Living in Spring

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing well! Today I'm excited to share with you a simple and quite video following me throughout my day as I live my life authentic to myself. I crafted dandelion wine, created a flower mandala, and spent some time working on kitchen witchery.
As we've now entered spring I've been spending more and more time wildcrafting with what is in abundance around me and it's gifted me many opportunities to be still and present in my world and I hope that this video will help do the same for you!

"At its heart, the idea of being authentic means figuring out who you are, accepting yourself, and being true to yourself"
-Arin Murphy-Hiscock
For me, I love the simple things and moments when I can work with nature. That's where I find authenticity in my life and where I go to spend my time when I free from other responsibilities
Thank you
💜
this was truly inspirational for me.
i live in NOVA too and love how not just well versed you are but also the way you deliver and share something so intimate.
What a beautiful comment from your dear little girl 🇮🇪☘☘
Being true to yourself is to honor creation. To release your inner Amazon... and I mean that both in the River sense, the online store of unlimited possibilities, and the strong inner warrior woman.
I have a saying that “the greatest warrior has no enemies” because I know that the only true enemy that you can have is yourself. Even among those who oppose you or seek to control you.
I love this video, and found it so beautiful and relaxing. I felt transported to a Kathmandu monastery watching a holy sand mandala being constructed. I love every little thing of nature. Nature speaks and it’s flowers are prayers to the void.
Watched with my 5 year old daughter and she said "she is the prettiest girl doing the prettiest things, I wish I could tell her that"
Your little one has a beautiful soul 💛👼🏼
Your daughter describe this video so perfectly!
😭
Dai Melendez awww what a sweet daughter she is love it 😍😘
Your comment made me cry while watching this video. In a good way. Thank you 🙏
I strongly believe this is the way we were supposed to live
Yes I TOTALLYN COMPLETELY AGREE
The way we ARE supposed to live!
It is.
Reality is so so different 😞
Wendy Newton no, not really. I believe we now can choose to, being forced to live a lifestyle you do not like is the problem. I am all for cutting back and relaxing but we need difference.
Imagine if we all lived like this, there would be no environmental problems, no political strife or war, just beauty and calm.
That would be beautiful. I’ve spent hours on end dreaming about a peaceful world like that~~
The only war that there would be is for the flowers outside for a spring spell XD
And we should. Channels like this need to gain more visibility 💜
Maddie Hightopp I don’t think there would be because the world would have so many more flowers if we made space for them if everybody lived like this the world would be a much more beautiful place we have taken so much space for ourselves we have built over and torn down so much nature that used to be around us unfortunately 💚💚💚
Lacuna_matata _92 you are so right, I live in the Netherlands and the village I am from there are some trees and waters but nothing as beautiful as in the video, it’s so unfortunate and I really hate that the only real nature that the Netherlands has is the Veluwen but that’s like a 1,5 hour drive...
I get so emotional watching this. It's like a dream life, one that I never thought to be.... allowed... Does that make sense?
Thats deep. Yes I relate and understand
Although we can make it happen, even though it’s not easy for a lot of people. I’m trying to find a life like this for myself and hopefully one day things will be simpler
I feel the same way and it makes perfect sense. ❤️
Yes yes yes omg, it's exactly that...
It could become a reality if you truly want it..🌲
I feel like she's a real life Disney princess. I was just waiting for all the forest animals to come and help her clean up! ❤
Why am I in tears? I feel like I’m longing to just let everything go. I’ve always wanted to live countryside. Free. Connected to nature. Like wanting to go home. I’ve never really fit in anywhere and while I can and do inspire others with my loving heart and generous nature, I feel so empty. Alone, even in a crowd or surrounded by loved ones. Seen, but not truly heard nor understood. Perhaps, I’m channeling. But the feelings are there, just the same.
Mika Smith make a massive change in your life and move. Live the life you’re longing for and fill that empty lonely hole. Only you know what makes you truly happy, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. If you don’t live a life of your choosing you’ll never be happy or satisfied. Happiness in solitude much better than loneliness in a room full of people 🌻🌺🤗
Reading your comment made me cry 😢❤️🙏
This is also my experience. Well said. But this means that we actually are not alone since I thought the same thing. 🥰
I feel you.
This is lovely and inspiring - and my cynical ass is also like "not everyone can live this way".
The point is to make time for things in life that make you happy... not that you have to live exactly like this
@@user-vf2bf1pw4q that is a great point
Nina and Luna are both such beautiful names ❤
@@ramyamaddali703 Ramya is quite lovely as well :)
@@recklessmermaid haha interesting that you say that because my name means "lovely"/"pleasurable" haha *facepalm*
My college courses give me so much anxiety, and I’m actually good and quick at schoolwork. It’s the impending feeling of something always being expected of me and my growing fear of not doing anything right in combination with the hesitation on not knowing if this is what I want.
Kage Oashj I feel you, I’m taking a gap year and following other passions next college year , you are the master of your own destiny 🥰 dream big !
Don't worry. Just take one day at a time. Do something good for yourself and others when ever you can. Don't fret over little things. Have gratitude and live well. Every thing will fall into place.
That's basically what I feel everyday since I know what social expect me to be.
How lovely !! Today I put fresh dandelion greens in my salad for lunch. 🌿🌱🏞
This video is Poetically, Visually, and Spiritually pleasing
This is how we’re supposed to be, we’re stuck in the matrix. Disconnecting us from Mother Nature. You’re a dream. Please share your ingredients. 🌹🌹🌹
I saw stick butter, sugar, flour, eggs and dandelions 😅
Wish I could spend my days playing with flowers
u can...
You can do anything
I'd like to know how it is possible to live like this in a capitalist society. Most of us are forced to work for corporations that demand we "act" a role rather than be our true selves.
The worst is that in this society we are teached to fit in a pattern and play a role so that we forget how to stay connected with our true self and needs. But it's not that people wouldn't be able to perform so that the corporations get the result they need if everyone would be more authentic. Happiness is not the worst for productivity 😄 The problem is that more authentic living people will need less luxurious products for compensation and this would be a problem for the capitalism itself...😅 so very likely the system will not change by intention from the executive floor.
There's a lot to discuss about this topic but I am sure a little change will come step by step from people changing their view about life. For me to get inspiration and encouragement from others is a blessing to tape steps forward for myself 😌
Learning to live way below your means helps. The less we need or want, the less we have to slave away at a 9-5. I also think most people making these kinds of videos on TH-cam are either making money off of their content or had a good chunk of money that helped them get started in this lifestyle
Yeah this is hard, esp as a woman of color and empath, capitalism doesn’t make it easy for us to thrive. I try to find ways to self soothe, build up my capacity, so that way I can organize and fight against capitalism. If possible in your workplace find allies to support you. Outside of work, find a cause and purpose you support, research groups that are doing that work so it doesn’t feel so isolating, and you can be yourself. That’s one of the worst things under capitalism. Isolation and alienation. Take care of yourself :)
It’s all about INNOVATION. Uranus in Taurus is begging us to find new ways to build and create. Innovate how we see and “need” money. When we release the fear of being “tied down” to the system, we make and invite more room for creativity that most certainly can guide us to financial independence. But many of us are too concerned and in fear that we don’t even give it a try, we are impatient and non-trusting. This is why working on the Self is the first step to freedom in all areas of life. Sending love, health and prosperity to all that read ♥️
starts with the indoctrination in all of our schools from kindergarten and up...
I'm not a witch, i just love this way to live. Slow living is how we're supposed to be... connected with nature, crafting and creating.
Whenever I'm feeling anxious or panicky, I come back to this video and become inspired. 💜
Sometimes, it’s just so hard to get out of bed and simply live. But I try not to be so upset about it and just respect what I’m feeling and not let it take control over me.
In the beginning she reminds me of Aurora from Sleeping Beauty when she's dancing with the forest creatures
I love doing things the old fashion way. My loved ones and friends say I'm a modern 50's housewife.. not sure if they mean 1850 or 1950. I'm ok with either.
Lillie Gibson 🤣😂🤣 1850, love it 😍
Everything from your soothing tone, the environment that you wild-forage from; to the beautiful lemon curd hand pies... Is just magical!
I need a recipe for those lemon curd pie things! In fact you should also do how to baking videos that would be great
Eye in the Well yes, I would love the recipe too. They look delicious! ❣️
Check out her other channel The Green Witch, she has recently posted the recipe of these she called them Dandelion hand pies. She has also posted other baking videos, the apple pie is my favourite.
People that makes videos of themselves living with the nature and being cfeative are so pleasing, we need more people like them nowadays
These types of videos are beautiful and relaxing and almost always made by people without children 🤣
My thoughts exactly! It’s a lovely video but not realistic, especially if you have children. It’s a nice concept but It’s just art.
Ooohhhh but think how beautiful the addition of a child would be. Yes they are loud and messy but so beautiful.
@@Intrepid_Insomniac It IS realistic. You decided to have children, so your life may be different. But you wanted that. Other people, other choices, other realities.
There is peace and spiritual happiness in solitude. Find time to work on your inner self. Follow your dreams and your path even if the world disapproves. Always choose to be happy, you always have a choice. ❤️
This is actually a piece of art, I so love the cinematography, the rawness and authenticity. I feel like I was born at the wrong time and would have fit better in the 'olden days' when life seemed simpler, realer, more mindful... More connected to the earth and one another. It wasn't easier, but that's life. Thank you thank you 🙏🙏
Shes living in her own fairy tale world, so magical..
There isn't 5 seconds of my life filled with such gentle peace as in your life. I don't know where to begin...
I'm at a place in life where it is so hard to be still, and watching this, I just felt like I could b r e athe. I live in the city- it's noisy, it's busy, I always have to do something, I'm always struggling or thinking of money and ways to do better the next day- at the moment I can only dream of this kind of life- which would be my ideal. I love nature. I love art. I love living small and peacefully. I grew up in a small valley, with bush surrounding my home and riding a horse through the neighbours orchard, walking barefoot to school and planting trees with our teacher. I miss that so much.
I literally woke up and saw this video. It's too relaxing and calm that I wanted to sleep again.
Oh how ive missed you sister! Thank you for your blessed being, beautiful wisdom and gentle precious heart. May God be with you.
Una persona così gentile e delicata, le auguro che presto possa creare cose belle e deliziose senza sfruttamento animale 🙏♥️
She's a princess !
I cried middle in the video,it feels unexpressable,how in different parts of world people exist,which share same,but same,wishes and feelings as you do, thank you
This inspires me to live more mindfully. Thank you.
I am actually OBSESSED with this beige dress you wear. I literally find myself thinking about it randomly. Where did you get it? I really would love something similar. It is very much my aesthetic
I second that!
I wonder if she made it. She has a video on her other channel that is about vintage clothes.
I third that!
I could be completely off here but if you search linen skirts on Etsy there’s some that look pretty similar to what she has!
This is a handmade skirt - although Ann did not make it herself. The "dress" portion is actually an apron she has layered for the effect. Many of the items you see her wear are handmade by her - often from the remnants of the linen closet!
Aw this little cup is really adorable with its flowers
I'm taking whatever steps I can to eventually live this life. We can never get there if we don't act. I'd love to hear how everyone is working towards their more authentic life--maybe we can learn from each other! ⚘🌿🌻🌸🌱🌲
This wins the prize of the most beautiful video I've ever watched 🧡
Now this is living!!!
Beautiful! God bless you and infinite love to you.
Thank you so much for this. Authenticity is showing up fully for yourself. So timely. You are wonderful.
This calmed my nerves. Be happy n blessed
I love this so much. I've watched it a few times now. I'm very manic, anxious, and generally going a mile-a-minute at all times. This feelsl ike a soothing balm over my wild energy. I tell myself to slow down all the time, but for some reason I listen better when you say it. Thank you so much.
Merci pour ta douceur...Vive la Slow Life! Love.
you can't get more dreamier than that♡︎
The beauty of this is beyond words! Thank you!
I love these videos that show the beautiful small things and in particular the kind nature
You have so much wisdom for one so young. Thank you for sharing these lovely moments.
So lovely. My cats would have knocked the flowers off the table in a second...lol. I work from home too and it is the best thing I've ever done. Taking time to do things by hand, take a walk in the forest when I want to, spend time with my family and 7 kitties, bake bread, drink tea and read books (non-fiction of course as I love to learn when I read), these things are what make an incredible life. Your videos are just gorgeous and so calming. Thank you! Blessed Be, fellow Witch.
Hi! What is your work? I’m interested in finding ways of working from home too
My cat used to push quilting squares around on my work table . Several baby quilts ended up with her design.
@@moonequita5763 I review lessons for a homestudy herb course run by Rosemary Gladstar.
Watching you work I could not help but think, start a large task but do not overlook the small joys that you find along the way. My mother made apricot filled cookies that looked much like yours.
Stunning! Thank-you! 🍃
To live simply is a way to be at peace within..coming away from commitments that overwhelm us.. is a practice that can change us...
🌳🌲🌴🍀🌵🌳🌴🌵🌲🌴⭐
Living in Melbourne Australia..
Experiencing second lockdown..
Testing those living in this city with great elements of stress..🙁
To be in a place of being introspective..and finding ways to overcome the situation...🐶
Practicing peace within can be another way to change with the change that may remain for some time to come...♥
Annie, I love your videos so very, very much. They bring peace to my soul. Thank you!
I feel grounded. Thank you.
I think you are a brilliant videographer, so much talent there! Most importantly you are a great story teller, giving us both insight and inspiration about how we can rediscover magic in the mundane everyday tasks. Your walk to get some fire wood, your stirring up custard or lining up little cakes on a tray seems so magical. Thank you for reminding us what most of us left behind in our childhood - the wonder and amazement of the world and life we live in!
So many responses that living like this is not possible in today’s world. If we turn off our devices when we’re home, let our imagination run wild and create what we want it is possible.. Yoga has helped me be mindful, do things with intent and being true to myself with this precious time on this earth.
Thank you for such a beautiful moment ❤️
Truly awesome. Your energy just comes right through, I’ve gotten my whole family into watching! 🥰
I love that!!! 😍❤️
This is how i want to live
This video was the break my soul needed.....
I find mindful silence is the source of our creativity. Silence has an eloquent language that speaks to us through our heart intelligence. The practice of mindful silence invites everything around us to be interconnected with all of our Being, who I truly am and what I truly am.. the very nature of own Self. With all simplicity I bow my head in deepest gratitude for this ever precious present 💝 of the Moment offered me.🙏♥️🥀
Absolutely enchanting!
Its indeed A.R.T.
That little blessing enabling who ever you are, to put up that smile upon lips of million A.U.T.H.E.N.T.I.C admirers.
Brilliant. We love the possibilities being inspires within us all.
I feel such ap sense of peace while watching your videos 💚
Perfectly lovely in every way .
Beautiful flower mandala. The baking looks very calming and creative. Thank you for sharing. Lol. ☺
I'm so interested in your dandelion wine! There's a lot of them right now in my area (and wild mallows too!) and I feel so grateful to see them in the little walks that I'm allow to have 💛
Ruby Red You can eat the mallows too, flowers included.
Moving from the city to the countryside was the best decision of my life
The quality of your videos and content is incredible. Thank you for making beauty
Going into the nature is best
This video is very Briar Rose and I love it.
Thank you for taking us along on the journey. If you perfect the dandelion wine recipe, I would personally love it if you shared (no pressure). I tried your chamomile buns last week and they were so good.
I would love the dandelion wine recipe as well. X
Yes, Me too Please! 💕🙏🏼🌈🦋🌼
AMAZIIIINGGG
These videos are just so beyond amazing. They make me feel good thank you for your content
This made my soul dance🧚🏻♀️
Thank you! ☀️
This is how I will live and heal myself. I used2live this way a bit in college. I ADORE herbs! This is true life!! Thank u!⚘🌱🍁🍀🍃🍂🌾🌲🧚♀️🧚♀️🕊🕊🐝🐞
im gonna die- ugh i want to so BAD live like a cottagecore aesthetic and surrounded by nature and maybe a little river or a stream near my house and just life in a simple way 😍 ugh my heart i don't know how to put in words my sudden attraction to cottagecore
Pure and simple
What a beautiful video. This resonates with me deeply. To infuse our energy into every moment of life. That is the beauty! Your energy comes through so clearly; powerful, clear, loving. I’m excited to see what’s next in your journey
This video provided me insight that my soul has been craving... thank you 😌. Peace, Love, Light & Many Blessings 🤍🖤✨
I love this video sooo much
Stunning video, truly shows the meaning of life, happiness ☀️😇
I love this video. I love your energy. I love your creation! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this beauty with us. It's perfect. :)
The cottage core life style, i can't
Everyone in the comments talking about “I think this is how we’re meant to live” are making me cry🥺 I thought I was weird for wanting just the simple things in life. Watching this video soothes my mind so much I’m literally so relaxed right now. I hate all the college pressure on me and the way I’m “supposed” to live out the rest of my life according to my family and societal expectations! I just want nature, food and good vibes like these.. also her outfit caught my attention so simple yet so beautiful 😭🥺
I had chills throughout the entire video ❤
Thank you, Annie ! What a beautiful message, slowing down is so important. Your video was a reminder for me to slow down and enjoy this very moment.
I often question why I tend to rush through tasks to try and finish them the quickest I can. This is a cultural wound that we all have ingrained in us. Thank you for being such an inspiring example of how we don't have to live in the American ( and really the world ) conditioning of creating as much and as fast as possible.
Looking forward to when there are 100 of these little works of art so I can get lost in them all day.
I am one with your intention in my own little part of the world. THANK YOU for braving social media and bringing this peaceful perspective on an authentic life. Wish i found you a lot sooner! Huge hugs and kisses to the wind from NE Washington.
slow processes and tedious work... doing things the old fashioned way or just doing things with your hands... this resonates with me. People closest to me half jokingly say that I strive to live in the 19th Century. lol!! This video really spoke to me. Thank you!! Well done!! :-)
What a beautiful and soothing video this is . Thank you
There's something so soothing about your videos.
Simply lovely
Wow, I never realized that when one focuses and organizes things with intent as you did (which I also do all the time, mostly with crystals) creates it's own energy. I NEVER even thought about the energy that manifests when you do this, it's such a powerful peace in my eyes.
With a place like that? I can die happy.
Hello Annie, I have only just found your channel but I am captivated. Your films are enchanting. Thank you.
And loving it 🤗
What a lovely dream, but the paint on my house is peeling, the spring pump is failing and covered in poison ivy, the grass grows quicker than I can mow it , my windows are dirty and the dust in my halls is mixed with the bodies of many stink bugs. If I walked on my property barefoot I would be covered in bug bites or weed rashes, and if I wore linen I would have to spend a good part of my morning ironing.That is the reality of living in the country without large resources. No one would find my day to day photogenic....pray tell how you accomplish it. It is lovely , indeed and for sure I am jealous. I just want others out there to not feel less than ...if your life is less than you tube ready.
Perhaps you can give me some pointers, I too live in Virginia, find beauty in the simplest things but the day to day with physical limitations and small resources feel like I am loosing ground constantly.
I don't iron my linen...I just hang it wet after laundry. Linen look nice a little crinkled..in my opinion, it looks natural. :-)
The natural beauty of linen is it’s crumpled effect. It doesn’t need ironing, life’s too short! Who cares if your clothes are ironed when your day is full of practical chores and moments of joy inside and outside. If you’re not going to an office, don’t iron it 😉
@@MaryShelleysNib I work in an office and I never iron haha! I tend to wear jersey cotton and things like that, rather than stiff shirts and suits which are very much not my style. :)
@June szeider it can be easy to feel a bit overwhelmed with grass, but why not plant some apples & Rowan then now or storm only a meandering path through it instead of cutting it all. You could also disturb the ground & sprinkle in patches of wild flowers from seeds you gather locally. A Hoover with a hose is great for webs & bugs, but so is a long handled window cleaning compliment ( I washed my paintwork down today lol ) just aim for little & often otherwise it can feel overwhelming. And as for you @black weirdo, I love the way you think ! Blessings to you both
Blimmin autocorrect !!!! It was mow or strim not now or storm & a window cleaning impliment not compliment !!! Sorry, would not let me edit previous comment & now I look like a nutter lol !😂
