Hi Connie, I just want to say that I’ve never thought you were too slow speaking. Your pace of talking is lovely and calm. It also helps because I struggle with auditory processing and often need subtitles. I’m 36, I love your videos and you look gorgeous at 48!
Yes..as an Asian it is sometimes painful to listen to Americans talk..high pitch, very fast n loud n kind of nervous n would make me have anxiety n fast breathing..unlike American youtubers, most (not all) Asian youtubers either don't speak at all or speak very little n the volume is slower...that' why I choose to listen to American youtubers who only speak softly like Dr Berg, Cottage Fairy etc.. however, this is only my personal preference..
I love the speed of your voice I really dislike and am put off by presenters speaking to quickly.I think when you speak it’s calming and clear.Thank you
I have a traumatic brain injury since 2008 also from a car accident. Time heals and it's been a long journey with improvements each year. Quiet is my friend. I learned to say no to activities and live on a low fixed income. God blesses me each and every day. ❤
I find your slower way of communicating so peaceful. Just fell upon this channel this morning & find it really interesting. Also wonderful how things appear when you need them most. For whatwver reason.
I think you are one of the classiest women I have ever witnessed on TH-cam or any other social media venue. Possibly because you are so true to yourself and the people you interact with yet you are never trying to be someone else. There is to much jealousy in our world today and you have done the hard work of excepting yourself right where you are in life and where you want to be. I look forward to your videos and meditation channel each week. Can’t wait to hear about your next adventure.
Sherrie, thank you so much for your kind words! They mean so much to me and I really appreciate them. Self-love comes down to acceptance of who I am. Loving my strengths and appreciating my weaknesses. Thank you for your support! happiness & peace my friend
I love the way you take your time speaking. I find many TH-camrs sound frenetic, they speak so fast, and I find my stress levels rising listening to them. You sound calm and calming, I love it!
Most people speak way to fast.. Your voice is clear, understandable and easy to listen to. Dont know ever feel it is slow. The whole world should be so paced.
I love the pacing of your speech, as it is calming and easy to comprehend and to be present with you. As someone else stated, I feel other youtubers speak much too quickly and edit their videos to cut out any natural breaks. Keep doing what you’re doing. 😊
That was fun! As I watched & listened to this, I realized that I never had any questions in the past while watching your videos. I just focused on the messages. I never thought that you spoke slowly and many other things that were brought out through people's questions. I'm 68 and embraced my silver & dark brown hair later in life. I'm so much happier accepting it's natural color. I wear it below my shoulders and often wear it in a loose French braid. I often get many compliments on my hair from all age groups, which at first, shocked me! Ladies, don't be afraid of changes in your hair (my unsolicited suggestion). But those who would rather color it, I support you.
I am Korean and based in greater Seoul, Korea. I've become a huge fan of your youtube since 2022. Especially watching your videos with a cup of coffee on Sunday morning has become part of my Sunday morning rituals, thanks to all the positive, healing energies all your videos provide, including your wonderfully voice. Thanks indeed for all such inspirational posts in may regards .
Hi! Thank you for your kind words of support and encouragement. I'm thrilled to be part of your Sunday morning!. Sending you happiness & peace my friend
Connie-Love both of your channels 🙂 I appreciate your calm narrations they truly relax me... part of why I love your channel. I wasn't aware you were a life coach; I am sure you are an excellent one! Book or journal...you would have my support 🙂 You are adorable and inspiring, thank you for the wonderful content.
The first video I watched of yours was a couple of months back without putting the volume on while I was putting my toddler to bed and I subscribed instantly without even knowing what and how you said it. You give that vibe. Your existence gives peace and calmness and you have so much capability just by being yourself. I want to become more of your being. Just like how contented you are. You inspire me so much. Love from Nepal 🇳🇵 thank you for being who you are.
Oh my! thank you so much, Sandhya, for your kind words of encouragement and support. I appreciate it more than you know. I'm so glad that my content resonates with you. Sending you happiness & peace my friend
I appreciate your openness to questions and honest responses. Your calm and gentle voice and clear articulation is a gift in this hectic world of constant strife.
I think I was one of your first two thousand subscribers and have never commented before. This is my favorite video. I think when kind, grounded, honest, sweet people like you share their story, the world is a better place. The qualities of your character make you someone to whom we can all relate and wish there were more of in the world. Thank you for sharing you - you are very special.
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much, Linda, for such a lovely compliment. I appreciate your support over the years as this channel has grown. Sending you heartfelt happiness & peace my friend, Connie
Thanks for sharing all of this, Connie. I love how calming your voice is. In fact, I usually can’t watch TH-cam videos where people talk in a fast or rushed pace. Can’t wait to see what your big changes are! Sending positive thoughts for your upcoming transitions.
I wouldn’t question the voice or why you speak slow. To me your voice sounds peaceful and calm like the music you play. Just thought it all made sense. 🙌♥️ love your videos
Connie, thank you for sharing your life and all of the videos. I am 70 and just stopped dyeing my hair, with grey in front and the edges and dark brown in the back. Just embracing my grey as you mention, love your hair. You are very positive with informative messages with a calm and clear voice. That is what caught my interest when I was searching positive videos. You are my positive energy medicine. I always look forward to watching your videos. Thank you
Connie we love and appreciate you so very much too… you have become my evening ritual..turning in and hearing your lovely calm voice , and thank you for being you and being here for us all, we love you ❤
Accidentally stumbled on your Web Channel. Not too slow not too fast, not too high not too low. Not too bright not too dark. Etcetera. A nicely balanced presentation and soothing presence useful and supremely interesting information..
I deeply appreciate your calm, gentle and slow speech. I have neurological challenges. I have learned so much from you. I am trying to make changes as I am able to live a more minimalist life style. I am trying to create a sustainable life style that suits my and my husband's needs. We are elderly and will soon be retiring and making a move to our final home. Thank you for your work, and for sharing what helps you live well. Your content on thriving as a TBI survivor is a huge blessing to me. 💐
I love your voice. It's very welcoming. I never thought of you as a slow talker. I guess people are so used to hearing people talking fast, cutting people off and talking over others then it might appear that way to them.
Hi Connie. I love your channel so much. Your voice is so soothing. I love it. It calms me down and relaxes me when my stress and anxiety is bad. Thank you so much for sharing your life and thoughts with us. It helps me alot.
To be honest the reason I subscribed to your channel was your calm slow speaking voice, I had know idea it had something to do with brain injury 😢 hope you have fully recovered from the experience I' ve discovered your channel today and have watched so many videos of yours already, thank you for sharing so much valuable content with us ❤️
I love to journal! I only have a small tablet and my phone. I let go of almost all social media. I have taken pictures and had time with family. Each day is a gift
I don’t think you speak too slowly. I love the way you speak, so calm and relaxed. I can’t tell at all that you’ve had a brain injury. I just discovered your videos, so I’ll probably be watching some more! 😊
Besides your husband being the luckiest guy in the world, love the fact that you both embrace the minimalism lifestyle. Great video. (Even for us lone men.)👍
Hi, I am from India. I like your videos and now you became an inspiration. I'm a single mother and moving through in a very difficult condition- financially. I don't have any friends. Nobody will hear me. They said that they are very much busy and they don't have enough time to spend with me. Now I'm 42. Once I thought that I should quit, but this kind of videos helped me a lot for survive. I am not an independent person, I'm in control of my parents- emotional blackmailing, financial control and so much. This kind of videos will give a soothing effect in my life, I really accepted you as my friend and sister. Thank you for such videos
Hi my Indian sister! I'm sorry to hear of your struggles. Life is not always fair, but there is still beauty in it if we look for it. Love yourself, your babies, and find moments of joy. Sending you happiness and peace my friend, Connie
Connie: I'm an English student from Argentina and I like minimalism, too. So, watching your videos is a powerful and double pourpose tool for me! TYSM 🤗🇦🇷
I have run across your channel and really enjoy your content. The world needs more people like you to offer such a calming presence and encouragement. My takeaway and aha moment from today is that all or nothing approach leaves me drained- thank you for pointing that out! And thank you for putting your wonderful work and content out ❤
It’s refreshing to hear an American talk in a more controlled way. As a UK citizen I find many Americans tend to talk very fast in fractured sentences and don’t take a breath in between. It can be exhausting listening sometimes. If you want to hold an audiences attention this is the way to do it and I love your attitude to life.
I really enjoyed watching this video Connie, thank you for sharing more details about your life - I also love your hair, I'm a few months younger than you & trying to embrace the ever increasing grey in my own hair by feeling grateful for the chance to still be here to experience ageing 🙏
Hello Connie, I love your voice tone and the fact you speak not too quick, not too slow. I usually listen to your videos while running and it helps me to calm down, enjoy my run and life in general. Thank you for your great content!
I throughly enjoyed this video! It’s nice to kind of get to know you in a sense. It is also relaxing and calming to hear you speak. I could listen to you all day!! Thank you Connie! I’m always looking forward to more videos!
you are a gem, you and your videos warm my heart. and there is a sense of cheesy-ness in your videos that i 100% appreciate lol first time i saw your vids they reminded me of an SNL spoof commercial cause your videos are so intentionally relaxing its so perfect. i love love love how wholesome and peaceful your videos are. thank you for making them and thank you for being you ❤️❤️❤️ 🙏🏻
I like the way you speak, it's soothing and reflective. I'd have never guessed you had a serious accident. Ignore the nasty comments, you speak perfectly well.
Connie, you are so gorgeous! You look so much younger than your age. Thank you for taking the time to answer questions. Looking forward to your big news! 🥰
my minimalist coffee routine is literally just setting my Kone metal cone filter into my widemouth mug and then doing a pour-over and/or immersion method. so simple and also i dont have to buy the paper filters. of course metal filters doesnt yield a clean cup of coffee like paper filters do but i grew up with that kind of coffee anyways so it doesnt bother me
Hi…I’m from Indonesia and I love Idaho. My daughter have high school in Jerome and she graduated her BA from BSU. My son have graduated Fine Art program from BSU too. Your video makes me even more determined to live simply. Thankyou ♥️
Regarding "speaking slowly" @ 2:10 in this video. I think your pace is perfect. Too many presenters and TH-camrs speak too fast, in my opinion, and they often try to edit their material so tightly that it sounds like they don't even want to allow a space to take a breath out of fear their viewers will bail on them, if heaven forbid, there is a tiny gap in the sound. Your pace allows your thoughts to "land" in the viewers' minds (which is great) versus rushing along to the next point at breakneck speed.
Thank you Connie for sharing your life experience...you are a comforting person and your way of seeing and practicing this life is very motivating....never to late to change the bad habits if the baby boomers....at 73 you inspire me to go on and make the most of it....keep on sending these beautiful messages...xx Patrick from Canada
I like that you speak more slowly ! It gives me time to process what your saying. There is nothing wrong with me that I know of but I’m old, a 60 something so I ask people who speak fast to speak more slowly so I can catch up and process information 😊😊😊
Hey Connie I m writing you from Germany and as I m very engaged with Zen buddhism and with minimalism, I love your slow speaking and I was surprised about your story with the accident. I thougt you are speaking so slowly because of meditation and exercising yoga. I found your speaking always calming and giving us an incredible well beeing. Thank you so much for your blog and your also spiritual Work.
What a lovely video. You are so kind to graciously answer all of the viewers questions. I would never have guessed your slower (to me more thoughtful), way you speak was from your injury. I love that you speak clearly and slowly, its calming and easy to listen and understand what you are saying. I love your hairl and think you do a great job cutting it yourself. I was in my 40's when I let the haircolor go. Thanks for all that you shared.
your voice is so calm and comforting i typically play vids in 1.5x speed to get thru the content/save time but i find myself playing yours at normal speed
New to your channel I really appreciate your candour…. As a fast talker I definitely do not find your speech to slow …..it’s actually quite relaxing. I would love to see how you cut your hair..don,t concern yourself with individual textures….
I love this thank you for being so open. You calm me and it's refreshing to go to your channel at the end of a very busy day. I'd love future video on thoughts different living situations you've experienced. Me and my spouse are in our 50's/60s and much talk going on. P.s can't believe the fridge question but we all have different perspectives so it's fair. Again thank you☀️🌻🌄
Hi Sara! Actually, the upcoming videos will be featuring some of our past and future lifestyles. I hope that they will give you and your husband inspiration! Thank you for your support.
I love your slow speaking voice - it is very calming! I would consider that a gift that your received after your accident. I would like to know if you are a vegetarian? I see a lot of non meat meals. Also, you say you eat the same breakfast - what is that you eat? And do you eat lunch and dinner?
Bonjour Connie thank you for charing this vidéo its so Amanzing you are so simples living beatifull life healthy habite. Keep the good work love ya France..😘😘👍
Thank you Connie, very nice to get to know some details about your life. I never thought you had a boring life at all or spoke to slowly. It appears serene which is a perfect life. So many have too many stresses. I live a serene life now since retiring so I appreciate the daily little things, such as enjoying a leisurely cup of coffee in the morning. Looking forward to seeing what is next for you and your husband.
I'm catching up on your videos as I'm a fairly recent subscriber (from Aotearoa/New Zealand) I enjoyed this session. I never think of you as a slow speaker. Rather you communicate with calm. Many 'presenters' speak in a hyped manner, which tires me out, so I never persist with those. Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom with us.
Thank you for sharing your journey! I have been on my journey for several years. So many things resonate. Thank you for your authenticity and enjoy your simple life. I will be 46 soon...fighting 2 different types of leukemia and keeping my joy thriving not surviving.
First time watching your video . I really like the idea of being minimalist. I have over the last couple of years let alot of things go that have lost any meaningful in my life. And it felt so good. As soon as it gets warmer out I'm going through my garage and seriously down sizing all my huge collection of Christmas decorations.and any other holiday stuff. I have decided after 45 years Im so done. It's amazing how easy it is to let go. My best accomplishment I've done yet was redecorate my kitchen and dining room and the living room just by moving things around from one room to another. I love how it turned out.
I think this was a GREAT video! You share so much more of the candid, humorous side to your personality. Your usual videos are very calm and soothing, but we are all multi-faceted individuals so it's nice to see a different angle in this more casual video. Thanks for sharing!
In a world that seems to be careening so fast that nobody gets a chance to breathe or think,I am for more slower and mindful. Life is NOT a race,but a long term sustainable journey.
Before I became unwell, I walked around the lake and did yoga everyday. I miss it so much but love watching you out in nature and listening to your messages. This was a great video, it was like sitting having a chat with a friend. Though I would’ve asked, why do other people talk so loud and fast? 😁😆I love your beautiful calm voice and never considered it slow at all. 🥰💕
Thank you for sharing your life with us! Your voice is so calming to me. Many blessings to your family, and I'm excited to see what changes are coming!
I enjoy your content very much. Your voice is very calming and soothing. I am very impressed with your life’s balance and lessons in which you provide to us. I wish I looked as good as you do especially when we are the same age! Your beautiful! As for the hair I have in the last year started to embrace my natural color too. It is starting to show grays as well. But due to cost anymore I don’t feel I need to invest my money into coloring it atleast in a salon. If I feel the need to add color I will use a box color and do it myself.
Watching your TH-cam videos in the South of Germany, I got super excited learning about your one daughter living in Germany! 🎉😅 Keep going, you're doing a wonderful job! Stay healthy and I certainly will continue to watch and enjoy (if only sometimes for the awesome landscape in the background!)
Hi Connie, I just want to say that I’ve never thought you were too slow speaking. Your pace of talking is lovely and calm. It also helps because I struggle with auditory processing and often need subtitles. I’m 36, I love your videos and you look gorgeous at 48!
Beautiful family 👪
I thought the same exact thing when she was answering this question. Her voice is so soothing. 😊
Agreed…you do not speak slow. Your Calming soft voice is appreciated ❤
Yes..as an Asian it is sometimes painful to listen to Americans talk..high pitch, very fast n loud n kind of nervous n would make me have anxiety n fast breathing..unlike American youtubers, most (not all) Asian youtubers either don't speak at all or speak very little n the volume is slower...that' why I choose to listen to American youtubers who only speak softly like Dr Berg, Cottage Fairy etc.. however, this is only my personal preference..
Your voice is so soothing. Videos along with your voice really give a calming affect.
I love the speed of your voice I really dislike and am put off by presenters speaking to quickly.I think when you speak it’s calming and clear.Thank you
Yes I love that too!
Same here. Even though their content is good the hurried, out of breath, loud voice grates on my nerves.
I agree!
Completely agree. I've even found myself saying to people that speak very quickly, I can't listen as quickly as you speak! 😂
Here. Here. I second that..
I have a traumatic brain injury since 2008 also from a car accident. Time heals and it's been a long journey with improvements each year. Quiet is my friend. I learned to say no to activities and live on a low fixed income. God blesses me each and every day. ❤
I find your slower way of communicating so peaceful. Just fell upon this channel this morning & find it really interesting. Also wonderful how things appear when you need them most. For whatwver reason.
Your calm slow speaking voice and gentle presence is a gift in a hectic and fast world. Thank you. ❤

Sherrie, thank you so much for your kind words! They mean so much to me and I really appreciate them. Self-love comes down to acceptance of who I am. Loving my strengths and appreciating my weaknesses.
Thank you for your support!
happiness & peace my friend
I agree.
Agreed! In addition, your voice is so calming and the manner in which you speak has such a soothing effect on my psyche. ❤
I agree. So Classy like Robin in Faith & Flour. ❤
I love the way you take your time speaking. I find many TH-camrs sound frenetic, they speak so fast, and I find my stress levels rising listening to them. You sound calm and calming, I love it!
Most people speak way to fast..
Your voice is clear, understandable and easy to listen to. Dont know ever feel it is slow. The whole world should be so paced.
And we, the non-native English speakers, say thank you for speaking so slowly. Greetings from a native Portuguese speaker!
What a lovely phrase: pockets of peace, calm and tranquility
I love the pacing of your speech, as it is calming and easy to comprehend and to be present with you. As someone else stated, I feel other youtubers speak much too quickly and edit their videos to cut out any natural breaks. Keep doing what you’re doing. 😊

But those who would rather color it, I support you.
Thank you for being true and honest and a simple human being. That makes your way of living even more appreciative.

Thanks for speaking slowly, as I am not a native English speaker, this allows me to listen in a very relaxed way and it's so calming anyway!:)
I'm glad my pace of speech works well for you💗
Love your natural hair and minimal style
Thanks for sharing all of this, Connie. I love how calming your voice is. In fact, I usually can’t watch TH-cam videos where people talk in a fast or rushed pace. Can’t wait to see what your big changes are! Sending positive thoughts for your upcoming transitions.
Thank you for sending positive energy my way! I will need ALL I can get😅
Loved this video! I look forward to every Friday morning ( in Australia 😊) having a cuppa and watching your video on my day off.
I wouldn’t question the voice or why you speak slow. To me your voice sounds peaceful and calm like the music you play. Just thought it all made sense. 🙌♥️ love your videos
Connie, thank you for sharing your life and all of the videos. I am 70 and just stopped dyeing my hair, with grey in front and the edges and dark brown in the back.

Connie we love and appreciate you so very much too… you have become my evening ritual..turning in and hearing your lovely calm voice , and thank you for being you and being here for us all, we love you ❤
The question about your voice…..I think you have a very elegant, thoughtful cadence to your voice.
Accidentally stumbled on your Web Channel. Not too slow not too fast, not too high not too low. Not too bright not too dark. Etcetera. A nicely balanced presentation and soothing presence useful and supremely interesting information..
I deeply appreciate your calm, gentle and slow speech. I have neurological challenges. I have learned so much from you. I am trying to make changes as I am able to live a more minimalist life style. I am trying to create a sustainable life style that suits my and my husband's needs. We are elderly and will soon be retiring and making a move to our final home.
Thank you for your work, and for sharing what helps you live well. Your content on thriving as a TBI survivor is a huge blessing to me. 💐
I'm so glad that my content resonates with you! Thank you for your support
I love your voice. It's very welcoming. I never thought of you as a slow talker. I guess people are so used to hearing people talking fast, cutting people off and talking over others then it might appear that way to them.
💗
I'm not a minimalist. In fact, I'm the opposite. But for some reason, I love following you. ❤
I know.
Same
Hi Connie. I love your channel so much. Your voice is so soothing. I love it. It calms me down and relaxes me when my stress and anxiety is bad. Thank you so much for sharing your life and thoughts with us. It helps me alot.
To be honest the reason I subscribed to your channel was your calm slow speaking voice, I had know idea it had something to do with brain injury 😢 hope you have fully recovered from the experience
I' ve discovered your channel today and have watched so many videos of yours already, thank you for sharing so much valuable content with us ❤️
I love to journal! I only have a small tablet and my phone.
I let go of almost all social media.
I have taken pictures and had time with family.
Each day is a gift
I don’t think you speak too slowly. I love the way you speak, so calm and relaxed. I can’t tell at all that you’ve had a brain injury. I just discovered your videos, so I’ll probably be watching some more! 😊
Besides your husband being the luckiest guy in the world, love the fact that you both embrace the minimalism lifestyle. Great video. (Even for us lone men.)👍
AWE! Thanks, John.
Hi, I am from India. I like your videos and now you became an inspiration. I'm a single mother and moving through in a very difficult condition- financially. I don't have any friends. Nobody will hear me. They said that they are very much busy and they don't have enough time to spend with me. Now I'm 42. Once I thought that I should quit, but this kind of videos helped me a lot for survive. I am not an independent person, I'm in control of my parents- emotional blackmailing, financial control and so much.
This kind of videos will give a soothing effect in my life, I really accepted you as my friend and sister. Thank you for such videos
Hi my Indian sister! I'm sorry to hear of your struggles. Life is not always fair, but there is still beauty in it if we look for it. Love yourself, your babies, and find moments of joy.
Sending you happiness and peace my friend,
Connie
I like when you speak slowly and I like your voice too. It is soothing to the ear so sod them. :)
There is nothing wrong with speaking slowly, I find you have a very soothing voice and you speak clear and I don't miss anything.
Hi Connie! I just recently discovered your channel and I LOVE it! Your voice is so calming. Please don’t change a thing! Love your content too!
Thank you so much!
I think you are lovely, gentle and wise. Your videos bring me such peace. I thank you for that. 💜
I love the way you talk slowly & softly.

I feel the same way about aging. Growing old is a gift that many never experience.
Hello Connie, I love your voice tone and the fact you speak not too quick, not too slow. I usually listen to your videos while running and it helps me to calm down, enjoy my run and life in general. Thank you for your great content!

Wow your hair looks beautiful on you, your skin is Radiant . The way you dress is very modest, I like it. Your voice is lovely and calming.😊

Regarding "speaking slowly" @ 2:10 in this video. I think your pace is perfect. Too many presenters and TH-camrs speak too fast, in my opinion, and they often try to edit their material so tightly that it sounds like they don't even want to allow a space to take a breath out of fear their viewers will bail on them, if heaven forbid, there is a tiny gap in the sound. Your pace allows your thoughts to "land" in the viewers' minds (which is great) versus rushing along to the next point at breakneck speed.
Thank you Connie for sharing your life experience...you are a comforting person and your way of seeing and practicing this life is very motivating....never to late to change the bad habits if the baby boomers....at 73 you inspire me to go on and make the most of it....keep on sending these beautiful messages...xx Patrick from Canada
I like that you speak more slowly ! It gives me time to process what your saying. There is nothing wrong with me that I know of but I’m old, a 60 something so I ask people who speak fast to speak more slowly so I can catch up and process information 😊😊😊
Hey Connie I m writing you from Germany and as I m very engaged with Zen buddhism and with minimalism, I love your slow speaking
and I was surprised about your story with the accident. I thougt you are speaking so slowly because of meditation and exercising yoga.
I found your speaking always calming and giving us an incredible well beeing. Thank you so much for your blog and your also spiritual
Work.
I think the Zen Buddha was German right?
What a lovely video. You are so kind to graciously answer all of the viewers questions. I would never have guessed your slower (to me more thoughtful), way you speak was from your injury. I love that you speak clearly and slowly, its calming and easy to listen and understand what you are saying. I love your hairl and think you do a great job cutting it yourself. I was in my 40's when I let the haircolor go. Thanks for all that you shared.
Oh my! Thank you so much for your lovely compliments!
your voice is so calm and comforting
i typically play vids in 1.5x speed to get thru the content/save time
but i find myself playing yours at normal speed
Thank you, Connie! And, it’s so nice to not have to rewind, rewind to hear what has been said. 😊❤
New to your channel
I really appreciate your candour….
As a fast talker I definitely do not find your speech to slow …..it’s actually quite relaxing.
I would love to see how you cut your hair..don,t concern yourself with individual textures….
I love this thank you for being so open. You calm me and it's refreshing to go to your channel at the end of a very busy day. I'd love future video on thoughts different living situations you've experienced. Me and my spouse are in our 50's/60s and much talk going on. P.s can't believe the fridge question but we all have different perspectives so it's fair. Again thank you☀️🌻🌄
Hi Sara! Actually, the upcoming videos will be featuring some of our past and future lifestyles. I hope that they will give you and your husband inspiration!
Thank you for your support.
I love your slow speaking voice - it is very calming! I would consider that a gift that your received after your accident. I would like to know if you are a vegetarian? I see a lot of non meat meals. Also, you say you eat the same breakfast - what is that you eat? And do you eat lunch and dinner?
Connie, this was very informative and entertaining as well. Thank you so much for sharing.
Bonjour Connie thank you for charing this vidéo its so Amanzing you are so simples living beatifull life healthy habite. Keep the good work love ya France..😘😘👍
Loved this video! Love your voice. It’s calm, positive and thoughtful! ❤
I am happy to know you better ❤
Love learning about your life and how you are able to live the way you do
This was wonderful. Please do more of these videos.❤
Thank you Connie, very nice to get to know some details about your life. I never thought you had a boring life at all or spoke to slowly. It appears serene which is a perfect life. So many have too many stresses. I live a serene life now since retiring so I appreciate the daily little things, such as enjoying a leisurely cup of coffee in the morning. Looking forward to seeing what is next for you and your husband.
Thank you so very much, i'm having lunch, at work and listening to your calm voice, makes me happy.
I'm so glad!
I'm catching up on your videos as I'm a fairly recent subscriber (from Aotearoa/New Zealand) I enjoyed this session. I never think of you as a slow speaker. Rather you communicate with calm. Many 'presenters' speak in a hyped manner, which tires me out, so I never persist with those. Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom with us.
sorry to hear about your accident. I like your slow delivery. Its calming.
Thank you for your kind words of support. 💗
Love yourvoice, fast speakers I just don't know they're saying so I switch off love your hair,I'm 79 and Scottish living in Scotland xx
Connie hearing and seeing pictures about your life and family is endearing.
I started watching these videos because of your voice and I wouldn't say slow but calming pace of your speech - absolutely love ALL of your videos ♥️
Thank you for your sincerity. All the best. Sandra from Munich
Thank you for sharing your journey! I have been on my journey for several years.
So many things resonate. Thank you for your authenticity and enjoy your simple life. I will be 46 soon...fighting 2 different types of leukemia and keeping my joy thriving not surviving.
First time watching your video . I really like the idea of being minimalist. I have over the last couple of years let alot of things go that have lost any meaningful in my life. And it felt so good. As soon as it gets warmer out I'm going through my garage and seriously down sizing all my huge collection of Christmas decorations.and any other holiday stuff. I have decided after 45 years Im so done. It's amazing how easy it is to let go. My best accomplishment I've done yet was redecorate my kitchen and dining room and the living room just by moving things around from one room to another. I love how it turned out.
Your hair looks great!!!🎉
I LOVE your white shirt.❤
I think this was a GREAT video! You share so much more of the candid, humorous side to your personality. Your usual videos are very calm and soothing, but we are all multi-faceted individuals so it's nice to see a different angle in this more casual video. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. Thank you for being so responsive to our questions.
YAY! I'm glad!
I love your voice, I find it so soothing. And you're beautiful.
In a world that seems to be careening so fast that nobody gets a chance to breathe or think,I am for more slower and mindful. Life is NOT a race,but a long term sustainable journey.
I love that! "life is not a race."
You are such lovely lady! I admire you. I am just learning how to be a minimalist
This was such a treat to have a sit down chat style video. I’d be happy to see another one in this style when you have the time for it. ❤️
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Perhaps, a Q&A video will become a quarterly event.
Before I became unwell, I walked around the lake and did yoga everyday. I miss it so much but love watching you out in nature and listening to your messages. This was a great video, it was like sitting having a chat with a friend. Though I would’ve asked, why do other people talk so loud and fast? 😁😆I love your beautiful calm voice and never considered it slow at all. 🥰💕
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
I really appreciate the pace of your words. ❤ I get way more out of it and the words you choose are more meaningful
Thank you for sharing your life with us! Your voice is so calming to me. Many blessings to your family, and I'm excited to see what changes are coming!
Hi Connie , I really enjoy all your videos, they are so lovely and inspiring ,Your voice is perfect and very calming ❤
Another question 😂… where did you get that cool computer sticker? Thanks so much for sharing your adventure with us 🙏♥️
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing some of your trade secrets. Trying to live below my means. Valuable life lesson.
I have a copper pitcher that I have tried to find a use for. Your flower display was an inspirational!
I enjoy your content very much. Your voice is very calming and soothing. I am very impressed with your life’s balance and lessons in which you provide to us. I wish I looked as good as you do especially when we are the same age! Your beautiful! As for the hair I have in the last year started to embrace my natural color too. It is starting to show grays as well. But due to cost anymore I don’t feel I need to invest my money into coloring it atleast in a salon. If I feel the need to add color I will use a box color and do it myself.
Oh! Thank you so much. You go girl! Embrace your natural beauty.
Watching your TH-cam videos in the South of Germany, I got super excited learning about your one daughter living in Germany! 🎉😅 Keep going, you're doing a wonderful job! Stay healthy and I certainly will continue to watch and enjoy (if only sometimes for the awesome landscape in the background!)
