    I lost my daughter a few days ago and we had been watching your videos together whilst going through her treatment. They were a welcome distraction from all that was going on. A lot of your sentiments which shine through your personality resonated so much . We laughed at the prospect of trying to fit all of Stephs stuff in a van your size, minimalism was not her thing, her plants, her clothes would never have fitted. Thank you for being you.

Just seeing her heart for her supporters, I CERTAIN it is VERY appreciated and that every donation helps. She would still be working those doubles without people like you. Hugs.

    My husband and I got rid of 99.9% of everything we owned to move to a campground. We went from a motorhome to a caravan then a campervan. I loved the life but I can't drive. My husband died last July, I had to sell the van and go back to owning stuff in a flat. I loved my campground time, by a beach listening to the waves at night. I got to live a dream, not everyone can say that. The moral of the story is to do what makes your heart sing as life is to short. We had the best 18 months with no regrets.

My husband wanted to know why at my age I was skipping around my living room. My son wanted to know why when he passed the "Bar" there was no skipping.

    You might want to consider (if you haven't already done so) a safety deposit box for your treasured and irreplaceable items, such as your military ribbons, medals, etc., rather than keeping them in your van. Of course, you can also scan photos to enjoy on your laptop and keep the originals into the safety deposit box as well. You have probably already thought of this.

    I break down everything I do by calling it a "task" and do, at least, a few a day. It could be doing something as simple as a load of laundry, vacuuming, cleaning a closet, making the bed or meal, etc. This has now rubbed off on my sister and a friend, and when we talk, we now reference the number of tasks we accomplished that week. We're all in our 70's, so we've learned to pace ourselves:) On today's docket, the main task for today is grooming my drama queen long hair chihuahua (after watching you), which isn't easy, since she hates it and acts like I'm killing her.

    Hello ~ hope you are doing good ~ I was just thinking while you was talking in your storage facility is that you should consider keeping the black box with latches ~ one because it’s bigger and you might can combine two into that one, second since it has latched it will be more secure keeping moisture, bugs and water out, and third if you ever needed an additional seat down the road it is more sturdy for that.

      @@MaggieG70 if Michigan didn't snow id move back 😂 I've gotten really spoiled in Florida! But I do miss home. I grew up in Caro. Lived in Bay City then down to Oakland county to White Lake before moving to Florida for good when I was 25. People in Michigan are way kinder ! Like hold the door open for each other wave when you pass each other on the street kind of people! You don't get that here! Oh and how I miss Vernors Ginger ale and faygo pop!!!

    Almost at 100,00 so proud of you. As for the lady saying she is living on Broward time we all are, from the time we take our first breath. Don't think that way, live until you die. If you live to be 105 its still a short time. Enjoy the ride....

    I love SPRITE too but as an alternative I found lemon-lime Sparkling Water (Kroger brand). It taste the most like Sprite of anything I’ve tried. If you read this I hope that you’ll try it. Thanks for being an inspiration!!

    You are right about minimalism, there is an old saying a rich person isn't the one that has the most but the one who needs the least. I am really enjoying watching you on your journey. all the best.

    Thank you so much for another amazing video. You seem so happy today and your energy is very addictive. You inspire me so much. If no one has told you lately, you are doing a service, a ministry to everyone. Not so much in the religious sense, but spirituality. That’s why your channel is growing so fast. Because God knows a true human who only wants to lift up and promote wellness, to as many people as they can. I’m sending back to you strength and positivity. ❤

    We are nomads too (we travel internationally full-time) and I am an introvert. When we left we had to downsize everything we owned into 2 carry-on suitcases and two tech backpacks.
    It was rough but we got it done (during 2020 when even donating things were hard to do because of the pandemic). Traveling as light as possible makes the experience less stressful, especially because we are TH-camrs as well (currently on a three month break while we plan out our 2023 travels through Europe and our 2023 content🎉).
    You will be so happy when you are done downsizing and hit the road. So proud of you!
    Also, we just bought those rode mics on our last trip to the U.S. in December. Can't wait to use them! They were sold out in almost every store so you are so lucky that your location had them. We got the last one on the shelf too.

    Take care of your digestive system. I used to eat to fast and now at 55 , I can’t tolerate 🌶 because it burns coming out, undigested food can cause issues too. I recommend pausing between bites. No Shade.. I was 40 yesterday in my mind. So take care of your belly and your Quads for your knees. 🌶✨

    I loved the fresh cut! So glad you didn’t cut it all off in the winter! 😮 get those curls poppin’!

Hope you enjoy making other new discoveries. I envy your enthusiasm in finding new adventures in your future. You only have one life to live so live it your way.keep on keeping on.

    This cleaning, some call it Swedish death cleaning, where you clean almost as if you have died and someone will have to ckean out your stuff. Thinking of it this way helps you to hang on to much fewer sentimental items. Most of us need to do this, and along with your minimalist tips, so thx. Happy 2023!

    Man... this inspired me to sort out all those boxes in my garage that have been sitting there since my move into a new home (over a year ago!) Clearly it's not stuff I need or I would have opened those boxes at some point. I definitely need to minimalize my life and needless possessions.

    Seeing your video pop up made my whole day and the fact that they have been getting longer makes me very happy. They are so relaxing to watch. That sub looks good. Kind of like a philly cheese steak. I am definitely going to try one. I had baked chicken, sauteed spinach and a petite sweet potato for dinner.
    Instead of resolutions I like to set goals to achieve throughout the year and I revise them as the year unfolds. Life is fluid so my goals are as well.
    I’ve actually made a list of every area of my apartment that needs to be cleaned out. I’m starting this weekend with the front hall closet and the storage closet on the porch.
    Have a great weekend! See you on the next video.
