So excited to see a new upload from you today! I have been going through somewhat of a confusing time in my life. But videos like these are very helpful for my mental health, and I am thankful for content like this. :)
So nice to see you. Sorry to hear that your time away YT was so stressful. Glad to here that you mom is doing better. I can relate on feeling so anxious when buy a home and said the exact same as you did in not ever doing it again. I hope the move goes well
Thankful I have completed my financial information for my business for last year and taxes completed. They give me anxiety, really for no reason, but it feels like such a monumental task! 😅
Safety is key when choosing a place to live. May you feel safer in your new apartment! 😊❤ That's great to hear that your Mom is doing so much better & your checkups were good, too. For a second year in a row, I have an abnormal aspect for a Pap smear...follow-up procedure to occur. Ugh.
I am a sensitive person too. And I went through the same thing you did (the night anxiety and panic attacks), at the end of March. It was something with the energies of the world. I am from Romania. A lot of sensitive people were struck by those energies.
Hi, I am 67 yrs. Old, and I found out a few years ago that I am (and always have been) an HSP. What a relief! All my life, I have been called "Too Sensitive". I always was made to feel that there was something wrong with me. Just today, I found your videos! I am looking forward to learning more! Thank you. Lori in Dallas
Yayy you're back! ☺️ Congratulations to you and your partner for buying an apartment! The balcony sounds lovely. 🌱🐦 So sorry to hear about your struggles with your mum's health I really hope she pulls through and everything will be okay. 😟 And also congratulations to the 200,000 subscribers thank you for everything you do for us and ultimately changing our lives for the better 🙏.
I have a balcony-sized part of a deck, and we have two racks of potted plants there. I started several years ago with herbs, and then got into pansies and other flowers. At first I looked for hummingbird/butterfly-friendly flowers, then realized all flowers are pollinators and critter-friendly so it didn't matter which ones. My partner got two deck chairs and a little table, which we'll use when the weather gets warmer. So we'll be doing the same things you are, but I'd suggest you might also want some plant friends on the balcony. We can also use the rest of the deck occasionally for an hour or so, so in the summer we take our folding table out and have breakfast or dinner there, and sometimes invite one of our neighbors to join.
I bought my first home two years ago on my birthday. I was very excited and very scared at the same time. Being raised in a traditional family, I never had credit to buy anything. Everything I own, I bought outright. Or if it's expensive enough, I have to wait patiently until I have a certain amount of money to buy it with cash or by waiting for a discount. Nevertheless, I took a leap of faith by buying a cozy little house with 25 years of credit up front. And it has been driving me crazy for several months. My husband, encouraged me to change my mindset a bit by paying a credit like I pay my monthly rent. Since then, I am less anxious and more excited about decorating my new home. I use milanote and planfloor to bring my ideas to life. It helps me a lot to avoid unnecessary purchases of furniture, decoration, etc. Congratulations on your new home Vera!
I’m am, according to the MBTI test, an INFJ person, and I watched the video on how to handle life as an HSP person. Those are things that are important to me because when I was in college I would get very nervous after having had too much social interaction, and I couldn’t understand what the issue was. You said it perfectly on the video that, that is a personality trait. Also, I’m focusing myself on becoming a minimalist. It won’t happen over night, but I already do some of the minimalistic stuff that you were discussing, like clothes shopping. I havn’t done that in a few years. I basically have everything I need and I have to get rid of some stuff. Thank you for your videos.
Congrats for buying a new home and "survive" all the past stressful moments! I'm standing in front of the big mountain of selling an old home and buying a new home at the same time and don't know where to start. I'm sure intuition helps with buying/deciding, but with selling? 🤔 Have a great time, Ulrike
My big thing the past 9 months is an elderly relative reaching the point she needed to move from an apartment to a room in a 24-hour care home and me managing her bills. So I had to dispose of her furniture and car and bring two dozen file containers to my place to sort through. She'd saved every bill and brochure from the past thirty years, and she'd had to submit her medical receipts every year for a housing discount so she had all those notebooks. Luckily several volunteers helped with the furniture and household items, otherwise I'd be overwhelmed. I've been taking a kind of break from it the past three months, but now I'm in the home stretch to finally finish going through those containers. I've long been a minimalist. Not extreme, but all my possessions fit in 2-3 pickup truck loads. So it's been an ordeal sorting through a non-minimalist's stuff, deciding what to keep. Some things she needs for use or documentation, some for nostalgia, but I have to decide what will be important in the future and what won't. She now has prefurnished room with few personal possessions, and she wants to avoid clutter accumulating there like it did in the apartment. So she says to throw away all the old photos and items I can't store, because she doesn't want my apartment filled with her clutter either. So now taking care of my clutter and her clutter has merged into the same thing. I've pared down my files a lot but I still need to do more, and let go of some old books I haven't read, and I'm staring at a yoga mat I haven't used for years but still maybe I'll get back into it someday. So that's the phase I'm in now.
Wow Vera congratulations on your new apartment and 200,000 subscribers. We are so excited for you. Looking forward to a tour of your new home. Sending hugs ❤
I usually don't leave any comments on TH-cam, but this time I had to, I am happy that you have found your new home and congratulations on that, but mainly, I wanted to send good thoughts your way for your mom's health. Everything will be fine, good things happen to good people and your definately are a nice soul. Sending hugs and good vibes your way!
Double congratulation, one for reaching 200,000 subscribers, the other for buying a home. Please, take it easy, it will all work out. It always does. I'm planning to move this summer too, so I know how stressful that is. And exciting too.
My thoughts are with your Mom for her recovery. She sounds like a strong women. Also, best wishes to you and your boyfriend on this new adventure! Having your own space is a very satisfying feeling.
Dear Vera, I’m glad you are doing well and I am sorry to hear about your health scare. Best wishes to your mother and I am hoping she will be enjoying many days to come where she is feeling well. I lost my dear mom a couple of weeks ago. She was 92, I miss her terribly. You are such a light Vera, thank you for sharing such insightful videos ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words Linda. I'm so sorry for your loss, my condolences 🌺🌼 I'm sure your mom was very proud of you! Wishing you all the best
Hi Vera, I can’t believe you ONLY have 200k subscribers, I’ve been watching you for ages and thought you had more! I love your videos they are calm and relaxing, I hope your new place is as calm as this place. I can’t wait to see it. Thanks for sharing everything. From Australia. 🇦🇺
Dear Vera, yesterday I discovered your youtube-channel and it's SO great! I really like your videos and it's a cozy feeling to watch them, because everything is so balanced in your videos! It's a gratification to watch them. Thank you SO much for your content, it's amazing!!! 😍 With love from germany 🇩🇪❤
Wow, what a month! Yikes! Travel, buying an apartment, Mom being in the Hospital, your health scare…You are stronger than you know! Well done getting through it!
I think it's really helpful to think through how we manage in these times of catching many viruses, because this is often the cause of my breaks not being restorative. Every time I get time off work I'm sick and can't go out because I don't want others to get sick. I know there are things we can do at home but it is definitely harder to be intentional when your energy is all used up fighting off a virus.
Congratulations on the big purchase. Hearing you talk about how important it is to have a ‘safe’ feeling home, made me feel better. Moving is so traumatic for me. Even when the move is ‘good’. I feel more ‘normal’ after hearing your experience. I am sorry to hear of all you went through with your mom and how stressful and scary it is. Last year my mom had her 4th time having cancer and treatment. I thought I did so well through it until the worst was over and she was recovering well and then I had a huge crash. I actually did not recover until just this past fall. It does help so much to have the self care and mindfulness practices you have and especially minimalism. It just helps to have more bandwidth when stress does come. I hope you ‘recover’ well and quickly.
Your honesty means so much. Makes me feel way more "normal." I'm happy for you to move into your new home and sorry you and your family had such a stressful month.
Congratulations on your new apartment, I can totally understand how stressful it is to move.... I sincerely hope your mom gets well soon. Mothers are so important in our lives, and I lost mine 10 months ago... Good luck to everything in your life❤️💛💙🧡💚🖤💗♥️💜
The door to the street being checked always is a matter I face as well cause we live in a building with apartments and there is at least one owner who almost never closes and locks the door it does not go straight to the street there is a garden we live in but he never locks!
Congratulations Vera on purchasing a new apartment! May it be your sanctuary for years to come 🎉. 🙏 for your Mom on a healthy recovery 🙏. Take care of yourself during the move! Be gentle on yourself if you're unable to do as much videos as you want to - we understand ❤❤❤
So happy for you with your new home. I totally resonate on the importance of finding the right neighbourhood (location location location)- Also great that your Mum is recovering well. Sounds like you've been through the mill. So take good care of yourself first in the upcoming transition/move etc. Reach out to me if you would like to do some EFT tapping on any of it. My gift to you. Stay well - Groetjes.💚
I'm right there with you, Vera. The simplest everyday things I just have to go in my bedroom and lay down and block out everything to recover. The smallest things that need to be done overwhelm me. I get extremely anxious and cannot sleep or eat. I see these people getting all this stuff done, like it's a breeze and I just shake my head.. How? I am sorry to hear about your mom. I, too, have medical anxiety. My BP shoots up when I get around any medical. I understand everything you are saying.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with anxiety going to the doctor, and needing time to recover. And sharing what travel is like for you. I am also highly sensitive, and have similar experiences with doctors and travel, and it's so nice to know I'm not alone. Also, congratulations on your apartment! Buying a house was very stressful for me too.
Travel and medical stuff 😢 I totally avoid both - well done, Vera, for going ahead with both and accepting the difficult as part of the good. Proud of you!
I so enjoy your lovely spirit. Thank-you for your inspiring acceptance for being a sensitive person, in a fast and furious world. We must remind ourselves to be kind and caring, to our innate ways, before we can do so with those we welcome into our lives. Congratulations on your new home! Be well.
I'm not a sensitive person, l look forward to change and going out , travel, l don't get stressed out easily. l started watching and then subscribed to your channel because l have a really good friend who is very sensitive ,l needed to learn what it was all about. Your channel has been very helpful explaining what being overly sensitive is ,l have learned alot and have become a better friend 😊 Wishing you and your boyfriend many years of love and happiness in your new home and all the best to your mother for a complete recovery. Congratulations on your 200.000 subscribers!!! Greetings from Southern Ontario 😊🍁
Hello from Northern Ontario ;-) Good for you trying to understand sensitivity, when you are not sensitive yourself. Kudos! That is awesome and I wish more people could try to at least consider/appreciate what it’s like for us ❤ Your friend is lucky to have you lol.
Right now I'm in a similar situation as you were few months ago (part related to the house and the area I live in, the dangers, the noise, the dirty things around) and I'm so greatful to be able to move to a bigger house with a balcony, an extra room, a cleaner and safer space in general! Best feeling ever!! ❤
Congrats on your new home and getting through some hard times. I would love to see videos on your packing, moving and decorating process as you journey through your new adventure ☺️
I'm so glad you found another apartment! I know it's been a long time coming. Enjoy the process! :) I hope your mom recovers completely. Congrats on 200K!
I want to give you a virtual hug. At 70, I've been through EVERYTHING you mentioned and know the anxiety.. and buying a home is near the top of the list. Every home transaction has been challenging, yet we have done it four times and after the 'dust' settles, we are very happy that we went through it. My two mantras are breathe ( I do yoga) and be still.. and it has served me well over the years. And yes, I still wake up at night sometimes with the' four am syndrome' over things I can't control.. it is part of the human condition. I wish you everything you hope for in your new home.
Hi Vera! It's nice to see you back! Congratulations to you and your boyfriend on the purchase of your new apartment! Sounds like such an upgrade for your needs! :)
Yay, thank you so much!!! Yes, it's defitely an upgrade in many ways. Some parts of the apartment are a little bit less 'fancy' as this one, it's quite simple and definitely like a starter home, but I really don't mind, I just love the fact that it'll be ours and that we can live there simply, without having to worry about a huge mortgage or anything :)
Hi again Vera! Exciting times ahead for you! Well done on the new flat, you must give us a tour when you're settled! I'm so nosey where other people's homes are concerned! Have a great weekend! ❤️🌱 x
Great news Vera! I said this before but congrats on your new apartment 🥳….I can’t wait to see it, the balcony would be my favorite feature probably, but I like some smaller spaces also, I feel that each room can have a different purpose and your boyfriend won’t be outcasted to the bedroom anymore 😂…I just want to say that I’m happy your mom is doing better after such a difficult time with her health, I hope she has many happy years left to enjoy life! 🙏🏻😊
I'm very glad for your news, also congratulations, that you two will move! (in german we say "in unseren eigenen vier Wände" ) and I'm so with you, how important the place where we live is. Things around us should trigger the good (!) things and not the others, we don't want. So we subcontiously struggle with this and that, because we are in our real comfort zone. I wish you the BEST and I think you will surely have the benefit! Take your time, breathe and everything will be fine, Vera!!!!!
Best wishes! It will pass quickly and you will be in your new home… together with your boyfriend! What joy! One step at a time! 200K subscribers! Take care! ❤️❤️❤️
Vera, what a mixed bag of news you’ve just delivered. You spoke so heartwarmingly about your wonderful impending move and also about your dear mothers health issues. You are a very kind, sensitive and thankful soul. I wish you all the very best of luck in the changing months ahead…. Blessings to you, your fiancé and respective families 🙏🏼👍🏼🤞🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
Congratulations Vera!!! I'm so happy for you! A balcony is Everything 🙂 It is stressful to move, but so rewarding when your're finally home. I wish you both a peaceful and loving home. I'm very sorry for your mom, I hope that she will heal well. Sending you warm hugs, take care xx
Totally understand about buying a home. We bought over 10 years ago and it was super stressful. Was so relieved once it was over and we were settled in. 💜 Congratulations on being a homeowner! 💜
So glad you are back. Congratulations on your new apartment. I know you’ll be so glad to leave that neighborhood. Prayers for your mom’s health and yours. We understand about your schedule as far as your videos. Just do what you can do. We’re here for you. God bless and take care. 🙏🏻❤️💕
I’m so sorry to hear about your mother but I’m glad she’s doing better. I will pray for her. Congratulations on the new place and reaching 200,000 subscribers.
WOW...that's a lot to handle...stress can come from good things (buying a new home, starting a new job, etc) as well as from difficult things!! Fellow medi-phobic here!! Needles are horrid yet I learned to deal in order to be a dart board for Pfizer vaccines...
Hee Vera, ik ben zo blij voor jullie dat jullie een huis hebben gevonden!! Begrijpelijk dat je wereld even helemaal op de kop staat, zeker met de andere pittige dingen die spelen (in de afgelopen maand). Ik hoop dat je de komende tijd goed door kan komen en kan genieten van het creëren van jullie nieuwe thuis! Ik ben al een aantal jaar een trouwe volger van je account, misschien niet iemand die vaak reageert, maar wel die trouw met je meekijkt. Sinds 1,5 jaar kwam ik er minder aan toe omdat ik een wereldreis aan het maken (was). Momenteel ben ik tijdelijk gesetteld op een eiland in de Caribische zee en vind ik weer wat meer rust voor mezelf en ook om je video's te kijken. Ik kijk weer naar je nieuwe video's en probeer ook je oude video's terug te kijken waar ik gebleven was. Het doet me goed om je video's weer te zien. Je manier van praten, ik vind het altijd fijn om naar je stem te luisteren hihi, en de verhalen die je verteld heb ik gemist. En ik vind je blonde krullen trouwens prachtig!! Veel succes met de onstuimige tijd de komende tijd!
Ah wat lief, dankjewel Anouck!! Wow, een wereldreis en nu lekker op een eiland in de Caribische zee. Dat klinkt heeeeeeeeel vervelend allemaal 😉😉 hahaha. Mooi zeg!!
Yay! Welcome back! I totally understand the the stress of buying a home. I have bought and sold two houses. It was HORRIBLE! Now I am so happy being a renter, and I am in a very good situation. I don't know if I will ever buy/own a home again. Sending well wishes to your mom, and sorry for your health scares. My goodness. You have had so much at once. I am a nurse and even I get scared with doctor visits. Life is so fragile. I think it reminds us to be grateful for health and safety. 📿
March was all about phone detox, because my excessive phone usage was starting to become a problem, particularly at bedtim because I would get out of bed, switch on my phone watch reels on FB, and I would do that for about an hour or more. After watching a video about excessive phone usage, I decided to do something about it, so I removed FB, WhatsApp, TH-cam and internet browsers from my phone, and my sleep improved dramatically. This is another new habit that i'll be sticking to :)
Congrats on 200,000 that is amazing and I hope that you have some warm and comforting days ahead. Good luck with the move and take care of yourself. ❤❤❤ thank you for what you do for us.
Oh Vera! Biggest congratulations on buying your new apartment. And the 200K mark on YT! Prayers for your mum! That’s a lot going on including a trip to Madrid. Processing time needed for sure. Looking forward to seeing your new place and what you do with it ❤️👍🤗
I am so glad your mom is doing better. She is a fighter. I’m glad you are okay as well! I am so happy and excited that you and your boyfriend found a new place. So so exciting for you two. What a beautiful blessing! ❤️🤗
Congrats on new home, 200k subs and your physical health. So so happy your mom is home recovering. Take great care of yourself Vera, we can wait for your videos so don’t put too much pressure on yourself.
Congrats on 200K subscribers, Vera! Also, I'm glad to hear more about your trip to Madrid. It really sounds like you had a lot of fun, even if you felt tired during the entire trip. Take care, and thanks for the updates! Best of luck to you on your move to the new apartment 😊
Vera, I'm so happy to see you again and thrilled to hear the good news! ☺ You have had quite a month in March dealing with so much, but good results overall, especially with your Mom's health even though she still has a way to go, she's improving little by little. Your new apartment sounds fantastic and I can't wait to see it! You deserve all the happiness that one can have, so enjoy each and everyday, one moment at a time, dear Vera.
I moved 12 years ago. Didn't expect to stay so long. I must get around to shifting the packed boxes - I downsized and also inherited my parent's clutter as well.
Hi Vera, welcome back! Congratulations on the new home! And for getting through all of the stressful times! You're so right about being stagnant and moving on your living conditions. We just decluttered 20 years worth of things from our home. We're doing the opposite that you're doing we went from owning a home to renting an apartment. We just moved from New Jersey to Maine and we want to make sure we love the area and then we might buy. What a huge change and so much anxiety I can totally relate to yours! I've been in that situation dealing with family illness and the stress of your own illness! It's so much to handle and they're having that knot in your stomach constantly takes its toll for sure! So glad that your mom's doing better she's really been through so much! And so glad that your house care turned out to be nothing! I don't know how you're going to be able to do all the filming with a major move! Good luck very excited for you! Making a move and having a much healthier, cleaner, safe and beautiful place to live does make such a huge difference! Feeling that change and not being stuck anymore is so emotionally freeing! Take care best wishes!
Congratulations on buying a home! I’m so happy for you. I’ve been wondering how your mom is doing. I’m sorry to hear her health hasn’t been good. Glad she’s home and recuperating. Also congrats on reaching 200k subscribers! 🥰🎉🎉
Thank you so much for that Tina, I appreciate it! 🤗💕 I hope she'll be able to recover and get back on her feet, after everything she's been through she now has a second chance at life, so I hope my parents will be able to enjoy many years together still :) Have a wonderful day!!!
Our march was nice, finished up our post-op recovery and went back to work. Spent a lot of our off time working on music. We definitely know how you feel about the crazy rents- its been wild here in Canada too. We're very grateful for the place we're living right now, as the rent hs not increased since we moved in 4 years ago. The way you describe your neighbourhood w the abandoned buildings is very intriguing to us.
So happy for you!! Enjoy your new home!! Health scares are frightening and exhausting; thankfully all turned for the better for you and your mom. Every time I don't feel well, or a loved one is not well, I try to double down on appreciating when I feel well/normal. Sometimes we take normal for granted, when in reality, normal/healthy is SUCH a GIFT!!!
Very happy for you. As someone who has purchased many home's and have moved different states, I know how stressful everything can be but love that you made it. Stay mindful and all will work out. Sending good vibes to you and your family🖤🙏
Woop woop, so excited! 🤗💕 How have you been??
So excited to see a new upload from you today! I have been going through somewhat of a confusing time in my life. But videos like these are very helpful for my mental health, and I am thankful for content like this. :)
Pretty good overall 🙂
So nice to see you. Sorry to hear that your time away YT was so stressful. Glad to here that you mom is doing better. I can relate on feeling so anxious when buy a home and said the exact same as you did in not ever doing it again. I hope the move goes well
Thankful I have completed my financial information for my business for last year and taxes completed. They give me anxiety, really for no reason, but it feels like such a monumental task! 😅
March wasn't the best but hopefully things change soon
This community feels cozy and warm because it is a reflection of you, Vera. Thank you.
Aw that is so sweet! Thank you Lara 🤗❤️
Safety is key when choosing a place to live. May you feel safer in your new apartment! 😊❤
That's great to hear that your Mom is doing so much better & your checkups were good, too. For a second year in a row, I have an abnormal aspect for a Pap smear...follow-up procedure to occur. Ugh.
I am a sensitive person too. And I went through the same thing you did (the night anxiety and panic attacks), at the end of March. It was something with the energies of the world. I am from Romania. A lot of sensitive people were struck by those energies.
Oh interesting! :) Hope you're also doing better now
@@SimpleHappyZen I am great now. Thanks!

I bought my first home two years ago on my birthday. I was very excited and very scared at the same time. Being raised in a traditional family, I never had credit to buy anything. Everything I own, I bought outright. Or if it's expensive enough, I have to wait patiently until I have a certain amount of money to buy it with cash or by waiting for a discount.

Welcome back lovely lady. Congrats on your new home!!!!! So happy for you.
I loved Madrid too. I agree.
Im happy for your new home! God bless you BIG TIME!!!
My big thing the past 9 months is an elderly relative reaching the point she needed to move from an apartment to a room in a 24-hour care home and me managing her bills. So I had to dispose of her furniture and car and bring two dozen file containers to my place to sort through. She'd saved every bill and brochure from the past thirty years, and she'd had to submit her medical receipts every year for a housing discount so she had all those notebooks. Luckily several volunteers helped with the furniture and household items, otherwise I'd be overwhelmed. I've been taking a kind of break from it the past three months, but now I'm in the home stretch to finally finish going through those containers.
I've long been a minimalist. Not extreme, but all my possessions fit in 2-3 pickup truck loads. So it's been an ordeal sorting through a non-minimalist's stuff, deciding what to keep.

Thanks so much!!! She's doing much better now :)
@@SimpleHappyZen I’m very pleased to hear that 😊
Dear Vera, yesterday I discovered your youtube-channel and it's SO great! I really like your videos and it's a cozy feeling to watch them, because everything is so balanced in your videos! It's a gratification to watch them. Thank you SO much for your content, it's amazing!!! 😍 With love from germany 🇩🇪❤
Aw thank you Julia, that made me so happy to hear 🤗❤️🥹
Happy for your great news of a new place, your Etsy sales, and travel opportunity. Blessings out to your health stresses and your Mom's. Welcome back.
Congratulations! Sorry it was so stressful for you But I'm so happy for you
guys. I'm looking forward to seeing your new home.
Thank you so much Anji! :) I'm excited to show it too, hahaha
Wow, what a month! Yikes! Travel, buying an apartment, Mom being in the Hospital, your health scare…You are stronger than you know! Well done getting through it!
I think it's really helpful to think through how we manage in these times of catching many viruses, because this is often the cause of my breaks not being restorative. Every time I get time off work I'm sick and can't go out because I don't want others to get sick. I know there are things we can do at home but it is definitely harder to be intentional when your energy is all used up fighting off a virus.
Congratulations on the big purchase. Hearing you talk about how important it is to have a ‘safe’ feeling home, made me feel better. Moving is so traumatic for me. Even when the move is ‘good’. I feel more ‘normal’ after hearing your experience. I am sorry to hear of all you went through with your mom and how stressful and scary it is. Last year my mom had her 4th time having cancer and treatment. I thought I did so well through it until the worst was over and she was recovering well and then I had a huge crash. I actually did not recover until just this past fall. It does help so much to have the self care and mindfulness practices you have and especially minimalism. It just helps to have more bandwidth when stress does come. I hope you ‘recover’ well and quickly.
Your honesty means so much. Makes me feel way more "normal." I'm happy for you to move into your new home and sorry you and your family had such a stressful month.
I'm happy to hear that :) I like being able to be honest on this channel and share what I'm going through :) Have a wonderful April!
Congratulations on your new apartment, I can totally understand how stressful it is to move....
I sincerely hope your mom gets well soon. Mothers are so important in our lives, and I lost mine 10 months ago...
Good luck to everything in your life❤️💛💙🧡💚🖤💗♥️💜
Thank you so much for your kind comment Alexandra. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss of your mom... My sincerest condolences 🌼❤️ Sending you a hug
The door to the street being checked always is a matter I face as well cause we live in a building with apartments and there is at least one owner who almost never closes and locks the door it does not go straight to the street there is a garden we live in but he never locks!
Congratulations Vera on purchasing a new apartment! May it be your sanctuary for years to come 🎉. 🙏 for your Mom on a healthy recovery 🙏. Take care of yourself during the move! Be gentle on yourself if you're unable to do as much videos as you want to - we understand ❤❤❤
So happy for you with your new home. I totally resonate on the importance of finding the right neighbourhood (location location location)- Also great that your Mum is recovering well. Sounds like you've been through the mill. So take good care of yourself first in the upcoming transition/move etc. Reach out to me if you would like to do some EFT tapping on any of it. My gift to you. Stay well - Groetjes.💚
I completely understand. I know how it feels.
Congratulations on your new home.
Thanks so much Taty, I appreciate it :) Have a great day!!!
I'm right there with you, Vera. The simplest everyday things I just have to go in my bedroom and lay down and block out everything to recover. The smallest things that need to be done overwhelm me. I get extremely anxious and cannot sleep or eat. I see these people getting all this stuff done, like it's a breeze and I just shake my head.. How? I am sorry to hear about your mom. I, too, have medical anxiety. My BP shoots up when I get around any medical. I understand everything you are saying.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with anxiety going to the doctor, and needing time to recover. And sharing what travel is like for you. I am also highly sensitive, and have similar experiences with doctors and travel, and it's so nice to know I'm not alone. Also, congratulations on your apartment! Buying a house was very stressful for me too.
Oh you're definitely not alone in that! 🤗💕 It can be very challenging. Take good care and have a lovely day!
Travel and medical stuff 😢 I totally avoid both - well done, Vera, for going ahead with both and accepting the difficult as part of the good. Proud of you!
I so enjoy your lovely spirit. Thank-you for your inspiring acceptance for being a sensitive person, in a fast and furious world. We must remind ourselves to be kind and caring, to our innate ways, before we can do so with those we welcome into our lives. Congratulations on your new home! Be well.
You're so right!! Thanks Dori, have a wonderful day!!!
I'm not a sensitive person, l look forward to change and going out , travel, l don't get stressed out easily. l started watching and then subscribed to your channel because l have a really good friend who is very sensitive ,l needed to learn what it was all about. Your channel has been very helpful explaining what being overly sensitive is ,l have learned alot and have become a better friend 😊
Wishing you and your boyfriend many years of love and happiness in your new home and all the best to your mother for a complete recovery.
Congratulations on your 200.000 subscribers!!!
Greetings from Southern Ontario 😊🍁
Hello from Northern Ontario ;-) Good for you trying to understand sensitivity, when you are not sensitive yourself. Kudos! That is awesome and I wish more people could try to at least consider/appreciate what it’s like for us ❤ Your friend is lucky to have you lol.
@@ellieD23 thanks!
Are you experiencing unusually chilly weather as we are this long weekend? Hopefully warm spring weather starts soon🌞🌻
@@sharischmidt4712 Agreed! It is so cold 🥶
You are blessed and have good things happening to you. Gratitude lifts the spirit.
Glad your mother is better 🙏
Thank you! :) Have a wonderful day
You really are an inspiration. Keep going! A.B. 77yrs old from u.k.
Aw thank you Anne!! Have a lovely day
Right now I'm in a similar situation as you were few months ago (part related to the house and the area I live in, the dangers, the noise, the dirty things around) and I'm so greatful to be able to move to a bigger house with a balcony, an extra room, a cleaner and safer space in general! Best feeling ever!! ❤
So happy for you. I know you turn your new apartment into a lovely home.
Congrats on your new home and getting through some hard times. I would love to see videos on your packing, moving and decorating process as you journey through your new adventure ☺️
You had a very stressful month, I totally can relate too many things going on. Thanks God is all over.
Congratulations on your new place!!!
I'm so glad you found another apartment! I know it's been a long time coming. Enjoy the process! :) I hope your mom recovers completely. Congrats on 200K!
Thanks so much Lois!! 🤗💕 Yes I've talked about it for so long haha, especially on Patreon :) Have a great day!
I want to give you a virtual hug. At 70, I've been through EVERYTHING you mentioned and know the anxiety.. and buying a home is near the top of the list. Every home transaction has been challenging, yet we have done it four times and after the 'dust' settles, we are very happy that we went through it. My two mantras are breathe ( I do yoga) and be still.. and it has served me well over the years. And yes, I still wake up at night sometimes with the' four am syndrome' over things I can't control.. it is part of the human condition. I wish you everything you hope for in your new home.
Lovely to see you again beautiful lady. Exciting times ahead. xx
Thanks!
Wow, thank you so much for the superthanks!!! I appreciate it 🤗💕🌱
Wonderful update Vera! Wishing you and yours all the very, very best!
Hi Vera! It's nice to see you back! Congratulations to you and your boyfriend on the purchase of your new apartment! Sounds like such an upgrade for your needs! :)
Yay, thank you so much!!! Yes, it's defitely an upgrade in many ways. Some parts of the apartment are a little bit less 'fancy' as this one, it's quite simple and definitely like a starter home, but I really don't mind, I just love the fact that it'll be ours and that we can live there simply, without having to worry about a huge mortgage or anything :)
Hi again Vera! Exciting times ahead for you! Well done on the new flat, you must give us a tour when you're settled! I'm so nosey where other people's homes are concerned! Have a great weekend! ❤️🌱 x
Thanks Gemma!! Yes hahahah I'm that way too. Don't really know how much I want to show yet, but I'll definitely show some things :)
Congratulations 😊
Great to have you back, Vera! Wishing your Mom full recovery. Congratulations on purchasing your own property and reaching 200K!!! So happy for you!!!
Thank you so much Anita!!! 🤗🌱 Have a wonderful day!
Great news Vera! I said this before but congrats on your new apartment 🥳….I can’t wait to see it, the balcony would be my favorite feature probably, but I like some smaller spaces also, I feel that each room can have a different purpose and your boyfriend won’t be outcasted to the bedroom anymore 😂…I just want to say that I’m happy your mom is doing better after such a difficult time with her health, I hope she has many happy years left to enjoy life! 🙏🏻😊
I'm very glad for your news, also congratulations, that you two will move! (in german we say "in unseren eigenen vier Wände" ) and I'm so with you, how important the place where we live is. Things around us should trigger the good (!) things and not the others, we don't want. So we subcontiously struggle with this and that, because we are in our real comfort zone.
I wish you the BEST and I think you will surely have the benefit! Take your time, breathe and everything will be fine, Vera!!!!!
Aw thanks so much for the kind words! "in unseren eigenen vier Wände" I love that 😁
:-)))) 😍
Best wishes! It will pass quickly and you will be in your new home… together with your boyfriend! What joy! One step at a time! 200K subscribers! Take care! ❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations!❤🎉🎊🥳🍾🥰👍👍👍👍
Congratulations on a new place and 200,000!
Prayers for your mother.
So glad you’re also doing well physically.
Vera, what a mixed bag of news you’ve just delivered. You spoke so heartwarmingly about your wonderful impending move and also about your dear mothers health issues. You are a very kind, sensitive and thankful soul. I wish you all the very best of luck in the changing months ahead…. Blessings to you, your fiancé and respective families 🙏🏼👍🏼🤞🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
Aw thank you so much for your kind comment Lois!!! I really appreciate it 🤗✨ Wishing you a wonderful April!
Congratulations Vera!!! I'm so happy for you! A balcony is Everything 🙂 It is stressful to move, but so rewarding when your're finally home. I wish you both a peaceful and loving home. I'm very sorry for your mom, I hope that she will heal well. Sending you warm hugs, take care xx
Thank you for sharing.😊
You're welcome Carol, have a great day!
Totally understand about buying a home.
We bought over 10 years ago and it was super stressful. Was so relieved once it was over and we were settled in. 💜
Congratulations on being a homeowner! 💜
So glad you are back. Congratulations on your new apartment. I know you’ll be so glad to leave that neighborhood. Prayers for your mom’s health and yours. We understand about your schedule as far as your videos. Just do what you can do. We’re here for you. God bless and take care. 🙏🏻❤️💕
I’m so sorry to hear about your mother but I’m glad she’s doing better. I will pray for her. Congratulations on the new place and reaching 200,000 subscribers.
Thank you so much Lolo, I appreciate that! 🤗🌼 Have a wonderful day
WOW...that's a lot to handle...stress can come from good things (buying a new home, starting a new job, etc) as well as from difficult things!! Fellow medi-phobic here!! Needles are horrid yet I learned to deal in order to be a dart board for Pfizer vaccines...
Welcome back Vera
Hee Vera, ik ben zo blij voor jullie dat jullie een huis hebben gevonden!! Begrijpelijk dat je wereld even helemaal op de kop staat, zeker met de andere pittige dingen die spelen (in de afgelopen maand). Ik hoop dat je de komende tijd goed door kan komen en kan genieten van het creëren van jullie nieuwe thuis!
Ik ben al een aantal jaar een trouwe volger van je account, misschien niet iemand die vaak reageert, maar wel die trouw met je meekijkt.
Sinds 1,5 jaar kwam ik er minder aan toe omdat ik een wereldreis aan het maken (was). Momenteel ben ik tijdelijk gesetteld op een eiland in de Caribische zee en vind ik weer wat meer rust voor mezelf en ook om je video's te kijken. Ik kijk weer naar je nieuwe video's en probeer ook je oude video's terug te kijken waar ik gebleven was.
Het doet me goed om je video's weer te zien. Je manier van praten, ik vind het altijd fijn om naar je stem te luisteren hihi, en de verhalen die je verteld heb ik gemist. En ik vind je blonde krullen trouwens prachtig!! Veel succes met de onstuimige tijd de komende tijd!
Ah wat lief, dankjewel Anouck!! Wow, een wereldreis en nu lekker op een eiland in de Caribische zee. Dat klinkt heeeeeeeeel vervelend allemaal 😉😉 hahaha. Mooi zeg!!
Yay! Welcome back! I totally understand the the stress of buying a home. I have bought and sold two houses. It was HORRIBLE! Now I am so happy being a renter, and I am in a very good situation. I don't know if I will ever buy/own a home again. Sending well wishes to your mom, and sorry for your health scares. My goodness. You have had so much at once. I am a nurse and even I get scared with doctor visits. Life is so fragile. I think it reminds us to be grateful for health and safety. 📿
March was all about phone detox, because my excessive phone usage was starting to become a problem, particularly at bedtim because I would get out of bed, switch on my phone watch reels on FB, and I would do that for about an hour or more.
After watching a video about excessive phone usage, I decided to do something about it, so I removed FB, WhatsApp, TH-cam and internet browsers from my phone, and my sleep improved dramatically. This is another new habit that i'll be sticking to :)
Having peace is priceless
Lovely to see you back Vera. ❤
Nice to see you, Vera! 🤍🌿
Congrats on 200,000 that is amazing and I hope that you have some warm and comforting days ahead. Good luck with the move and take care of yourself. ❤❤❤ thank you for what you do for us.
I tweeted you on my work account because I think we all need these messages at work. You're the best.
Sending tones of good vibes to your mom! And congrats on your new place!
Happy for you Vera!
I like watching your videos.. It is calm relaxing... It is a feeling I get in your videos similar to me while doing my morning stretch....
Aw that's nice to hear :) Thanks!
Oh Vera! Biggest congratulations on buying your new apartment. And the 200K mark on YT! Prayers for your mum! That’s a lot going on including a trip to Madrid. Processing time needed for sure. Looking forward to seeing your new place and what you do with it ❤️👍🤗
Aw thank you!!! Yes it's been a lot, but I think everything worked out, so I'm happy :) Have a great day!!!
I am so glad your mom is doing better. She is a fighter. I’m glad you are okay as well! I am so happy and excited that you and your boyfriend found a new place. So so exciting for you two. What a beautiful blessing! ❤️🤗
Aw thank you Lucy, that makes me really happy 🤗🌼💕
Congrats on new home, 200k subs and your physical health. So so happy your mom is home recovering. Take great care of yourself Vera, we can wait for your videos so don’t put too much pressure on yourself.
Thank you Jackie for your kind words 🤗🌺🌱 Have a wonderful day!
Wishing you lots of love!❤️
Thank you so much Marina! Have a wonderful day
Congratulations on everything!
Thanks so much Leslie :)
Congratulations on 200K 🎉❤
Yes it's so exciting!!!
Congrats on 200K subscribers, Vera! Also, I'm glad to hear more about your trip to Madrid. It really sounds like you had a lot of fun, even if you felt tired during the entire trip. Take care, and thanks for the updates! Best of luck to you on your move to the new apartment 😊
Your own home will bring lots of fun and joy. Your own home office to organise how you want is exciting. It's always nice to see you ❤
Yes it's so exciting! Can't wait to show everyone :) Have a great day!
Congrats !
Can’t wait to see your new place !!
Thank you so much Carolyn, can't wait to show it as well! :)
Bravoooo🎉...much Gratitude and Light from sLOVEnia ✨🙏☀️🥰
God bless you, Vera💗 May you be happy and peaceful🕊️
Vera, I'm so happy to see you again and thrilled to hear the good news! ☺ You have had quite a month in March dealing with so much, but good results overall, especially with your Mom's health even though she still has a way to go, she's improving little by little. Your new apartment sounds fantastic and I can't wait to see it! You deserve all the happiness that one can have, so enjoy each and everyday, one moment at a time, dear Vera.
Aw wow, thank you! I don't know what to say 💕
I moved 12 years ago. Didn't expect to stay so long. I must get around to shifting the packed boxes - I downsized and also inherited my parent's clutter as well.
Congrates on 200k subs
Thank you so much! :) Have a great day
Congrats on your new nest!!! ❤
Wonderful that you are moving as this is what you had hoped for. May your new residence house many wonderful events for you and your boyfriend!
Hi Vera! I'm glad you're back ❤ Congratulations for your new apartment, can't wait for the progress 😍
Hi Vera, welcome back! Congratulations on the new home! And for getting through all of the stressful times! You're so right about being stagnant and moving on your living conditions. We just decluttered 20 years worth of things from our home. We're doing the opposite that you're doing we went from owning a home to renting an apartment. We just moved from New Jersey to Maine and we want to make sure we love the area and then we might buy. What a huge change and so much anxiety I can totally relate to yours! I've been in that situation dealing with family illness and the stress of your own illness! It's so much to handle and they're having that knot in your stomach constantly takes its toll for sure! So glad that your mom's doing better she's really been through so much! And so glad that your house care turned out to be nothing! I don't know how you're going to be able to do all the filming with a major move! Good luck very excited for you! Making a move and having a much healthier, cleaner, safe and beautiful place to live does make such a huge difference! Feeling that change and not being stuck anymore is so emotionally freeing! Take care best wishes!
So very happy you are moving. Enjoy! Start packing up!
Congratulations on buying a home! I’m so happy for you. I’ve been wondering how your mom is doing. I’m sorry to hear her health hasn’t been good. Glad she’s home and recuperating. Also congrats on reaching 200k subscribers! 🥰🎉🎉
Thank you so much for that Tina, I appreciate it! 🤗💕 I hope she'll be able to recover and get back on her feet, after everything she's been through she now has a second chance at life, so I hope my parents will be able to enjoy many years together still :) Have a wonderful day!!!
Our march was nice, finished up our post-op recovery and went back to work. Spent a lot of our off time working on music.
We definitely know how you feel about the crazy rents- its been wild here in Canada too. We're very grateful for the place we're living right now, as the rent hs not increased since we moved in 4 years ago. The way you describe your neighbourhood w the abandoned buildings is very intriguing to us.
So happy for you!! Enjoy your new home!! Health scares are frightening and exhausting; thankfully all turned for the better for you and your mom. Every time I don't feel well, or a loved one is not well, I try to double down on appreciating when I feel well/normal. Sometimes we take normal for granted, when in reality, normal/healthy is SUCH a GIFT!!!
Yes that is so true!!! :) Thanks Karen :) Have a wonderful day!
Very happy for you. As someone who has purchased many home's and have moved different states, I know how stressful everything can be but love that you made it. Stay mindful and all will work out. Sending good vibes to you and your family🖤🙏
