I don't want to live off grid. I think it has been romanticized too much but most people have no idea of how much work goes into it & how hard it is. I think slow living has maybe different definitions to different people. Slow living for me means just stopping to pet my cat & enjoying the sound of her purring & thinking of nothing else. Or having a real conversation with my husband without phones in hand or TV on. Focusing on what matters to you in the moment. The tarte looked delicious!! Another just really beautiful thought provoking video. Take care & stay cool sweet girl!! 💖
So true that it has been romanticized too much! While I’m definitely a hopeful romantic, it’s important to understand the nitty gritty reality of things. I love your description of slow living. There’s nothing better than being in the moment and enjoying these little things.😌 Thank you so much for watching and hope you have a wonderful day!💕
I am the same. I live a slow intentional life. No t.v. no computer, I have a low tolerance for noise and bright lights. My refuge is nature and home. Love all you said.
I live in the high desert of the southwest United States. I can really sympathize with the heat you are experiencing. We are in our monsoon season now, so it is quite humid. I lived off grid for about 6 years, in the late 90's. The summers were unforgiving. Some nights it was just too hot to be inside, so we would sit on the roof and watch the sky until we finally had to go in to get some sleep. We had to use a generator to get water from our well, it was noisy and not very peaceful at times. We used oil burning lamps for light and had a propane refrigerator and stove. I would not want to do it again. I do miss the night sky though. The lack of lights made stargazing incredible. In my experience, slow living can be done anywhere. I feel like it is a state of mind.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It was actually so amazing to read. The stars might’ve been something! 😌 But the rest sounds so difficult. Perhaps with popularity of remote/off grid /farm living people don’t realise how difficult and not-so-romantic it actually is. It looks lovely on social media, but what’s shown really are just the stars. The rest can be difficult.
@@IamDaria Yes, it was a very stressful life and not romantic at all. I really didn't realize just how stressful it was until we moved. I was able to take a deep breath and relax, finally! Fortunately, we were able to stay in a rural area on acreage. I love the solitude here, but it is not for everybody. I think we just find try what works for us, maybe through a little trial and error.
A truly beautiful and profound video. You are enormously talented, and you are producing work that is making the world a better place. Slow living is finding peace, and that peace must exist within us. Even in the most peaceful place, if our hearts and minds are not at peace, there is no peace. Find peace within you first. And then you have peace wherever you are. Find wealth in learning to be happy with what we have. Peace be with you friend. 💖
I really appreciate the topics you cover in this video! I've struggled with my desire to live in the countryside, but not having the means to do so, for all the reasons you've stated. Thanks for sharing!
My twin sister and I live with our teen girls in a rural area, and over the years found contentment without being too dependent on technology. Our slow living has become fulfilled now, and this is why I am so appreciative of your thinking, your wished-for way of life, and bravery to go against the norm to follow your heart, while being aware of the challenges that lay ahead. Thank you so much for this vlog. Truly, peace and love from Wendi in the UK. 🌻
It is only me again, spending my Friday night watching and liking other one of your beautiful,deep,meaningful videos. I am unashamedly slightly obsessed at present with all your content. I live in the Irish countryside but know the English countryside so well, through reading many English countryside books and having spent some time in Norfolk. Both the Irish and English countrysides are very similar. Where you now live looks to be pure bliss! You are very classy lady with great taste xx
Thankyou, you expressed this beautifully, I live in the city, and do live a quiet intentional life. One foot in the matrix, one foot out. I have been judging myself for NOT wanting to live off grid! I like electricity and air conditioning, and although I would like to live in a semi remote location I have not yet grown my business to be able to afford it. Your videos inspire me to keep moving toward creating the life I truly desire.
Absolutely beautiful video, :) This is something I really needed after a long and stressful week at work. This video makes inspiration come to life. How to fight for the life we desire to have. You inspire us so much to make something out of our life. Thank you so much for this. Really lovely and inspiring. Sending you much love and wishing you the best.
I experience your videos like taking in pieces of art in a gallery, on an afternoon when you can see motes of dust in the air in the sunshine. So slow, so lovely, so enchanting. Thanks for sharing your art with us. I know I keep saying it, but I don't know how else to put my gratitude for this beauty. ❤️ Your slow living is perfect, just the way it is.
Thank you for sharing. I live in a somewhat remote area. It's peaceful and quiet but close to what we need. I have no desire to live off grid. I'm not afraid of hard work, as our small house and yard give us plenty to do. But I have enough to do. I do have a stressful job so when the work day is over, I enjoy spending time with my husband doing things we enjoy. And that's when we can slow down and relax and do what we want. Your videos are very beautiful and relaxing to watch and inspirational!
I believe slow living is as much a state of mind rather than a specific location, its the choice to step out of the raging current of life and sit on the bank for while and rest the body and mind, everyone finds there solution as you have.
You have said so many of my thoughts, it resonated so deeply with me! Beautiful video! BUT, what hit me the most - when you're complaining about the weather on a daily basis you knows you're living here long enough 😂😂
I got into slow living when I retired. It's a little hard to slow down after working your whole life. The only problem is my concept of reality has speeded up. At my age the days fly by. Enjoy the slow life when your young, it won't get any slower as you age.
It's true, any position in life depends on something and some can be more lucky (or dare I say more privileged) than others, however how you perceive your reality is completely up to you. It's easier to have it good when you don't need to worry about certain things but to each person the best and worst things are going to be proportionate to their overall or average experiences. That's why often first heartbreaks can feel like the end of the world when to more experienced people it's going to be along the lines of "meh, you'll be fine", you know, like that cliche teen dramas where the parents look at their teens and can't quite relate to their feelings since they have more experience in life? Odd example I guess and a tad on a tangent but something along those lines. 😆 Beautiful video, thought provoking ideas and hell of a decision to go out in 40C heatwave to film, love the dedication and standards! 😀
Thank you so much! 🥰 And yes I get what you mean. Really all of our thoughts and ideas are relative to our experiences. We all have our own life situations to deal with that leave their own lasting impact.
Not just you! I used to love them as well, and still do but perhaps not to the same extent! It’s a different environment, isn’t it? And both have their good moments 😊
I understand what you speak of, but I still want to live as far as possible from big data and big media and pharmacy and this is the only reason for me to do my best effort to move off grid to a small village somewhere . I am far from it, long way ahead but I just want simpler life that are less comfortable. I think that one should find a community flash and blood an only than move off grid, it should not be done alone in the woods.
Similar situations are happening in the US. In the 1980's, everyone wanted to move to the "Big City", wear a suit and tie, while working for a Fortune 500 company in a 80 story hi-rise building. That was the dream of many. Rural areas emptied out as more and more people wanted the wealthy lifestyle that Corporate America promised them. Some forty years later and people have gotten tired of the rat race, office politics and the constant hustle and bustle of the big city. Congestion, lack of peace and quiet, as well as increasing crime have people wanting to escape to the rural areas and enjoy a slower, less stressful lifestyle. This has caused the price of land and rent to dramatically increase the last ten years or so, and now the once peaceful and idyllic countryside is slowly turning into the cities that people have attempted to leave behind.

It always feels like "slow living" implies moving somewhere remote. But it's good to know it can be done without resorting to that.
I felt that for a long time. But it really is all in your own mind. ☺️
Beautiful 😊

It really takes bravery to go against the norm! Thanks for sharing your story of contentment (and community). 😊🍀

I get to learn a lot from your videos.. Thank you
Thank you for watching 😊
Totally agree with that. Always a huge pleasure to share your videos , to be in communion with the beauty you present . LOVELY 💛

What a lovely thought provoking video🦋
What you said is true. Rather than focusing on outer reality the inner healing should be a priority.
Your videos make me feel so calm inside. 😊They are super comforting! ❤
Please let me know your thoughts! Would you live off grid if you had a chance?
You are more than enough.Just brilliant.
I believe slow living is as much a state of mind rather than a specific location, its the choice to step out of the raging current of life and sit on the bank for while and rest the body and mind, everyone finds there solution as you have.
Absolutely agree with every word!
What an amazing definition of slow live that you have given Peter! So perfect! Exactly what i was thinking but could not express it the way you did 🦋
You have said so many of my thoughts, it resonated so deeply with me! Beautiful video!
BUT, what hit me the most - when you're complaining about the weather on a daily basis you knows you're living here long enough 😂😂
I really appreciate your videos.I like the way you express your ideas and life experiences.All the best to you🌟
I've never thought about it like this before but it makes total sense🤔🥰
senang mengikuti cerita anda dalam video ini.walaupun ia video lama.
Love your videos❤❤

I love your videos!😍
Slow-living is best. (Having someone's hand to hold, also, is a blessing those with that star of destiny enjoy 👩❤👨)
This is exactly how I feel

Is it just me or im the only one who likes natural noises and smells of city
Not just you! I used to love them as well, and still do but perhaps not to the same extent! It’s a different environment, isn’t it? And both have their good moments 😊
@@IamDaria yes i can agree
Hia can i ask where you got the dress from in your thumbnail please
Вы русская?))) Интересный канал и название интересное: "Поэзия размеренной жизни", случайно нашёл.)) Удачи и процветания! Привет из Узбекистана!
Не совсем. Из Латвии 😊 Спасибо большое!

Madam do you find countryside living more humid than city living?
Not at all 😊
