Dear Terri, totally agree with you!. Especially in these times of existential trembling, only nature can heal wounds and calm our souls. She has all the answers and always opens her arms despite everything, despite all the damage she receives every day. Terri, your videos are getting more and more beautiful and deep, they touch the heart! Blessings !!
Thank you Marcela, I agree with you re Nature's healing

You
God has placed you in a beautiful place & used your knowledge to help others. What a beautiful Blessing He has given you.
This was such a lovely reminder to get back outside and enjoy the changing season. One of the things recommended in therapy for anxiety attacks is to "ground" yourself - focus on small details and sensory things like the colors around you, the scents, sounds, and the feeling of things. What better place to do this than outside in nature. No wonder I've always found it so calming! It's easy to get wrapped up in excuses, and sometimes people literally cannot get outside, but as you pointed out, bringing small things from nature inside with you is better than nothing at all. My house is covered in rocks and pine cones and branches and acorns in an effort to bring the calming sense of nature inside with me.
Ha ha - my house too - it makes for a lot of dust!😂 but worth it.
May your land give back to you 100x the love that you have given it. Your plants and animals are lucky to have you!
Thanks Chuck! This land is always giving , I feel very grateful. x
Absolutely agree Terri,having a spot to sit ,mine is my front steps of a morning with a cuppa and watching the wee skinks scuttle amongst the flowers and the thrush feeding her young, new flowers opening,yes nature is good for the soul ,even in my front garden. Always love your stories.
Taking a walk in the Connemara countryside with you and your pups is simply MAGICAL. I am fortunate to have an unspoiled wooded area on my property the counterbalance to my gardens and trellises. Nature is my HEALER and FRIEND, I really don't know how I could cope without it. I always have a crystal from the earth with/on me, very helpful. Thank you Terri, you are a TRUE INSPIRATION🍀🍀🍀
Thank you very much Kavannah. How fortunate to have a woodland so close! Lovely
My cousin gave me 8 new trees yesterday to plant on my property after they were seedlings in her tiny yard. They’ll thrive here and bring beauty to the landscape
Lucky you Charlie! What a great gift.
I love watching and listening to you - always ground me when I’m feeling disconnected . Thank you 💕
Glad to hear that Joyce. x
Your videos resonate with me SO often! I too need to get out and just be. Too often I look around and see the "work" I'd like to do, rather then just enjoying what is and connecting with Nature. Thank you and Blessings to you!
That's me too. And there is really no rush - the work always gets done so it is so worth taking the time to just be. x
Hi Terri. Love your videos and knowledge. Also love your calm demeanor. I have a tradition of waking early Sunday morning, making a cup of coffee, prepping my bed with pillows, to prop myself up, slip in under the covers, turn on TH-cam, watch your videos, sip me coffee nibbling on a breakfast cookie. I'm in total bliss. Thank you so much. Do you realize how much calm pleasure you bring to your loyal followers? You are lovely. ❤️
Oh my goodness Miss Prissy, I am so honoured at your description of a lovely Sunday morning. Thanks so much. xxx
Oh those happy, gorgeous cats! They are so peaceful.
Hey Wilda. Like babies, peaceful when asleep😂
Being in nature is a great blessing. Love the outdoors. Bless you for what you do with natural products from this beautiful world. 😍
Blessings and thanks Sherry x
Oh, so true...not walking, but observing, as the keeper of the land ❤😊
Yes that's it xx
Excellent thank you for reminding me a vacation is just outside 🌲🌳🌿🌱🍃🍂🍁💚.
So agree about the ever busy saboteur, I certainly have one. Let's vow to let nothing come in the way of the simple joy of being out in Nature.
I agree. Shake on it👊👋😃
Thank you! I needed to be reminded as well for some reason to go back and sit in my garden more and appreciate the small beautiful things! 💞🌈🍃🌷🍂🧚♀️
Let's enjoy all those beautiful things x
A lovely reflective one today! Thank you! 🌀
I totally get it Terry. When I’m in nature, all is right with the world. 😌 Bright blessings ✨♥️✨
Many blessings to you too. xx
Thank you Terri! 🙂
I've noticed also that my critters seem happier when I'm out with them. Seems your dogs are the same.☺️
Blessings always! 💜
Blessings to you Trish, yes they much prefer when we are out with them.
Beautiful relaxing walk with you and your beautiful fur babies having a cuddle Blessings to you Xxxx
I have learned to ignore my saboteur, let her jabber on but I pay her no mind. I just keep moving, put on my shoes and coat and head outside for a walk no matter what. Thanks for another wonderful video, I look forward to your videos every week.
Thanks very much Jamie - just let her jabber on! That;s what you gotta do!
Yes, there is so much strength and healing available to us from spending time in nature. Thanks for another lovely video. May you, and all of us, quiet that voice and connect to the deeper, higher part that is one with all there is. We need that more than ever.
You are right. That is vital.
What a wonderful reminder! Thank you.
You're welcome Lisa. x
Before Christian contact many women of many cultures used to say good morning to the Goddess at an altar or special place in the garden daily. It is a good practice to start again, try it even in our modern world, before heading to the office, touch stone and say good morning OR good night. We offer a bit of our meal, or cornmeal or tobacco.
That's a lovely idea. I do that myself from time to time and we always light a candle with every meal to give thanks. All the little things we can do to make ritual during the day brings the sacred into the mundane.
Another lovely video. Thank you. Beautiful cats and chickens and of course the boys . Blessings to all
Blessings to you too Pamela.
Man is a doer, that is our task. It is also important to simpley be and observe sometimes as E. Tolle says 'to be the consiousness for (the beauty of) nature'. Thanks!
Great point! xx
A wonderful homestead; I think Ireland is truly a sacred place; I felt it when I toured it in 2003 Your inspiring with your knowledge of the outdoors around you. Being on the West Coast of Canada is very much as what grows around you. Good for you growing all those young trees. And I try getting out before the heavy rains begin. Your doggies love you and like to be outdoors as well. Thanks for being there. Canada
I agree re Ireland being a sacred place. Thanks Danuta!
“We are from the land, that’s our mother” 💝
I love watching your videos
You are such a lovely woman both inside and out. Have a day of peace in nature.
Thanks Jeanne, you too x
Totally agree with you Terri thank's for giving me strength to continue
You can do it!
So very true Terri thanks for that enjoy the day love to you xxx
Love to you too Sue!
i love the practise of a sit spot to anchor us in all seasons and enjoy our time in a beautiful landscape
You get to see the change of seasons in a more focused way.
You are so right Terri - push back those negatives that keep us from connecting to who we really are in nature - we are just as much a part of nature as your pretty little oak tree. You are a treasure and I so much enjoy spending time with you through your videos. Take much care.
Thank you so much Kathy. It's lovely to have you along with us. xx
Thank you for this one. I have said many times that the further humanity moves away from Nature, the worse things become...
Very true and there is a huge drive to push people even further away that we must all resist I think.
May you sit in pure contentment midst the teeming life about you and in you!💐
That sounds like bliss!
Mother nature will nurture us..even if the entire population is on your case....she will not desert us. Enjoy☘🌱🌿🌲🌳 Thanks m'dear. xx
You're welcome Moira, glad you enjoyed it. x
Thank You!
Thank you Terri for sharing this beautiful vídeo. Nature, in many many forms of beauty and so much support ❤
Absolutely!! xx
Thank you Terri!🍁
Danu time 🍀☘️🌱💚🌿🍀☘️🌱💚🌿🙏🏽
🙏💚
Thank you Terri, I love your videos 🕊💚
You are so welcome Amy!
Thank You ❤ Such a lovely walk and re connection. So much to see and feel right outside our door.
Such a lot when we actually look. xx
Thank you Terri for the lovely video . I don’t go out in nature as much as I should , things always seem to get in the way , but Iv decided that as from next week I am going to have me time to get back out there again . She certainly is a wonderful healer . Xxx❤️❤️❤️
I'll be with you in spirit!
I just love your messages. They inspire such peace and love of nature...the real reasons for our earthlyexperiences.Thank you for being such a wonderful guardian of nature.
I am so glad you enjoy the videos. Thank you for watching - I hope they help . Blessings to you n.s
Kindred souls separated by the ocean! My friends think my eclectic and freestyle flower gardens are untamed and need to be more manicured. However I find joy in the randomness of where a plant pops up in its own place to thrive, bringing its’s style and grace to the party. Thank you for the videos, philosophy and time shared.
Kindred souls👍✌️
Thank you so much, Terri! This is exactly the message I needed this morning. I flew outside to visit the owl tree and the woodpecker, taking those deep breaths of crisp air, and it put the world (especially the inner one) to rights. Many thanks for the reminder today. Love.
Glad to hear that Sherri. Love to you too.x
We had our first freeze rather late here in southern Iowa and there are still colors on the trees even some green and this weekend incredible warm temperatures and I have enjoyed doing my work in the gardens. The cold temps will no doubt return and I will embrace it ….however I will make the effort to bundle up and spend time in the garden each day even if its just to sit with a cup of tea and just gaze.This afternoon I am working on two new alters in the garden, one on the east to honor the sunrise and one on the west to honor the sunset. Thank you for making these videos and sharing your knowledge and reminder to reconnect and staying connected to our Mother Earth 💫🙏🏼❣️
I’m in middle Ga. It’s cool this week but in the 70s next. I’m planting collards today and these cool New Jersey cabbages that are cone shaped. Or as I call them the coneheads. They are delicious.
That sounds like a lovely project. I think it is always nice to keep refreshing altars. x
The answer to everything is always nature.
Very true.
I love the way you inspire us all to connect with nature and just to be. As an American Buddhist I notice that a lot of the concepts about connection and observation in nature as a Celtic Pagan are also taught by all my Buddhist teachers. If we could have a lengthy conversation I believe we would have much to discuss if given the chance. I like talking to well connected smart people! LOL I also love your garden. It's not neat little rows but a kind of ordered chaos, the way nature intended. It's so true what you said about being in nature, It truly is a healer. There have been countless times when I've been depressed or confused, taking a walk in nature always turns around this beautiful mess called my mind ! LOL Bye for now, Lots of love from America! :)
Ordered chaos! It definitely is😂 Nature is such a helper. Unfortunately we have been trained to think we are separate from her. She is us and we are she
Lovely Terri 💓,stay strong and courageous... connection with nature is the only way to be mental and physical healthy...made me emotional...thank you so much! Big hugs 🤗🤗
Ah Olga! Big hugs!
Speaking to my heart. I was ignoring the little messages to slow down and just be. Out in Nature, in my little garden areas. Now I have an icky cold, (thankfully not the big C.) But more reminders to slow down and connect with what builds me up.
Definitely - we all go way too fast. Get well soon. x
challenging negative thoughts takes determination 💪
Yep! Stay strong!
Funny Terri...
🌲🌿🌲🌿🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
I'm feel similar
just recently....
I've also get to caught up
In projects, inside & out
Even garden projects
Which pull u into the work - mode ⛏🧹
And not walking
just being in nature
With all her lovely smells and lovely songs from the animals and the great changes that are happening from the seasons change,🍃🍂🍁🍃🍂🍁🍃🍂🍁
So like you
yesterday I said to myself
I need to walk outside
want to start walking
and I actually walked when it was just beginning to get dark
and I just want to the trees that I've passed by
for so many years
on this Country Lane
and just hugged them... started to just cry😥😥😥😥😥
This deep sorrow burst out
I don't know why
And it didnt matter WHY
I asked for trees to help me I don't know where that deep
For I'm am happy hv much abundance daily
Sorrow came from
and it just was so beautiful to hug and hold the trees
There always seems to be so much to do inside & outside
and I think it's sad that we aren't in the gardens together
like sisters, like long ago
where people used to just do things together
Harvest together
dry things together
Can foods
we're all alone in our Gardens.
Everyday I have been walking barefoot in the California rains finally came in our golden fields and rivers of water came one day and I just walked out there barefoot I've been walking out there barefoot everyday course we have the sunshine so the Earth will get warm it's so amazing when you walk on the earth how soft it is right now we have a green carpet and it's so fabulous then I saw that there were all these little Sprouts you could eat so I snipped some of those and putting them in my salad bless you for sharing your thoughts you're so relaxing and so healing and so wonderful bye for now Therese
In Petaluma California
Ps my rose Waters finally are turning out I think I didn't have distilled water can you believe we still have roses here and honeybees
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Oh Therese, you may have had a cathartic release . Everything you have said seems to have touched on why. You have everything that makes you happy but you are missing the connection with "sisters" and have been walking barefoot which must have reminded you of things on a soul level. Sending you love and best wishes xxxx amazing to think you still have roses. They do hang on here til November but they are past their best. xx
wonderful walk and thoughts..thank you and Blessings from germany☘☘☘
Blessings!
"I'm the guardian of this land", Terri I love that. It makes me see my garden in an entirely different way. Thank you for all the wisdom you share with us
So glad to hear that! xx
Thank you, love your videos 🙏🏼🌾🌷🙂
Thank you very much D'Arcy - I appreciate your time. x
thanks for your wonderful videos terri, they bring a lot of peace to all your viewers
Thank you Fantastic! That is lovely for me to hear.
Absolutely agree, I love being in nature, especially this time of year we can put of going out, I did the same this week…I’ll just do this first..by the afternoon it was pouring down. Take care.
We have to make the most of the weather but then again, we just need the right clothes!😃
Thank you Terri for lovely video. I can resonate with all you said about just being , we all need to get out in nature more. I’m grateful to walk on the moors every day as I know how much it helps ground me. 😀
Grounding is so important for health - and all that fresh air up there too and the views!
Wow, so beautiful..the colors the walk with you is so great.. yes you are right..the brain is a strong thing, even with art like I paint with acrylics it's amazing how i have to work on my brain..not to paint everything in a row..it wants to put everything neat in a row. Oh yes ..we must go out..it's so healthy..so agree with you...ugly sabotage .haha.. beautiful colors to paint with .Thank you for a great relaxing walk with you ..
YEs, get out, get inspired by the colours of Nature.
Hola! I have just discovered your gorgeous channel and beautiful garden. Thank-you for sharing your Green wisdom with us. Your videos are so well done and sooo inspirational. I hope you have an uplifting Imboloc and a marvelous growing season in 2023! My moto for this year is "Show me Something Beautiful!", and you are doing so. Namaste
What a wonderful idea - to have a motto for the year! I think I will adopt yours too. Thank you xx
Wow! That made me feel so deeply emotional. Thank you. It was beautiful ❤️🌈🌼
Aww! Glad it touched you like that. Maybe it reminded you of something. xx
Thank you for such a lovely video. I too have the inner saboteur that tells me I’m too busy. Even when I’m in the garden sometimes all I can see are things that need doing. One thing I did for myself this summer was get ready for work 10 minutes early and spend that time just wandering the garden or sitting on the back step before work. I found 10 minutes wasn’t enough time to start any ‘jobs’ but it was enough to feel grounded for the day. I even had a little young Robin friend who would often come and sit with me. Now it’s pretty much dark when I leave for work, so I might have to rethink but it was lovely over the summer.
That is a brilliant self-care practise. It may be dark now but get ready for spring! Just use the 10 minutes now to visualise your garden come springtime.
I am so glad to hear you speak about the voice that says no you have to much to do to be outside. I get so torn inside or outside. Love being outside.
I was getting to the point where I was stuck but my friend was a big help,so I am able to make time for both now. x Hope you can too.
Thank you for sharing so much lore with us.
Thank you Lexie, for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you For the words of wisdom Terri….planning a walk down a wooded path later❣️
Thank you Terry. I needed this today. Such a lovely film.
Blessed be.
Hope you are having a lovely day today.
When you sighed, leaning against that rock, I truly felt it. I will also make a pledge to myself, to go sit and be and notice the natural things around me… it might mean a little walk as I live on the Old Kent Road in London, but there are parks, and then there’s the Thames nearby. Totally relate to the saboteur in me. I pledge to hear her and then to simply ignore her gently. Thank you 🍂🍁🍀
It is quite amazing too how much wildlife there is in a city - and London is great for its parks. xx
A lovely place to sit Terri. 💚 I too have places to sit and be one with nature. The gratitude I feel when I do is so beautiful. 💚 To be able to connect with our plant friends is truly a gift that I am so thankful to receive. Once again, thank for sharing your thoughts with us today and your garden as it changes with the seasons. Love and hugs from the Ottawa Valley Canada.
Thank you Sandra - big hugs to you too xx
Very strange and worrying times. With you on all you say here 🐞🐝🦋🌙🌾🍁🍀🍂🌿🌱
Thank you Suzanne. We must keep our connection. xx
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you Terri ❤️🙏🕊
You are welcome Abby x
Thank you for the reminder to get out there!
You are welcome Karen!
Who are we ... we all need rest and reflection. It's difficult to deal with SOCIETY. We must be true to "nature". I love your umbrella. I have one just like it. It's an odd and beautiful world. So sad for so many. Yet, you work and work to help make it a better world. Blessings.
Rest and reflection is so important to our mental and spiritual health i think and where better to do that than in Nature.
Lovely as always, feels like having a visit with you, I’m the other way though I am always walking out the door, I’m always in woods, or fields or by a river……I feel humility not being in and doing what I feel others do. I cannot be healthy though if I have not the freedom to walk and be outside.
I’m finding it a bit difficult with my old dog not being able to go far, so she has her little walks morning and evening, Then I go out again for myself, but not as long as when we would leave the house as the sun came up and come home with the golden hour or even later. Many hours of wandering and discovering, tea in the woods and picnics by the river. But, her sight has gone and her back legs are not strong. 14 years, though and she is still happy, even though she cannot see, she refuses to be on the lead when we are in the field she knows.
Anyway, blessing terri have a good week 🙏 and thank you for another lovely film, you look lovely by the way, thought it was the avengers for a minute 😃
Blessed little dog, what a companion. xx
What a delightful video. Just the encouragement I need 😉💕💕💕
Go for it!👍💪💚
Terri, I want to thank you for taking the time to make videos to share with people around the world. They are always so informative and soul pleasing. This one in particular touched me deeply as you spoke about connecting with nature and looking around at the colours, textures and variety. When you touched the rock I felt your peace. Your photography is superb and you never fail to remind me about the importance of nature in our lives. Thank you for sharing your time and wisdom with us.
You are very welcome Catherine, so glad to hear it touched you. Lol said thanks too re the photography.
The videos is fantastic ! Thank You for sharing. Have a fantastic day and keep a beautiful happy song in Your heart
I will Michael - what a great idea! Thank you
Terri you are one cool lady!! I connected with this video. Nature Can teach and heal us. ♥️🙏👍🏻
Absolutely can Bonnie. xx
Such a lovely time year to frolic in nature & recharge🍁🍂 Love your thoughts, stories and chats, it's very interesting & calming 😊 Sending love & light to you and your loved ones ✨🧡✨
Thanks Missy Me. It is a lovely time of year - the light is amazing.
Thank you Terri, your video definitely helped 💕🍁🍂🧡
Glad to hear that Hilary!
I love your videos. I learn a lot, and they are so peaceful.
Thanks Tanya, glad to hear that. x
BEAuTIFUL inspiring thank you
You are so kind Tacy - thank you!
I so enjoy your channel and you I have learned so much where I am an Herbalist in healing with nature. Thank you for sharing.
I love your episodes but have never commented. This really struck home with me , thank you for sharing these reassurances with everyone. Your beautiful words and inspirational lessons always fill me with daily functional foundations, the smallest pieces of your wisdom are inspiring to many people. Thank you!!
Thank you very much Iris, you are very kind xx
So very beautiful. Your videos are incredibly relaxing and I feel like I can smell the earth of the garden. Lovely! 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you so much Carol. Delighted to hear that. x
Lovely video. Terri lives in a wonderful part of the world that hasn't really lost touch with its natural roots. And if her garden is anything to go by, it wouldn't surprise me if the fairies are busy helping her with it. I also must admit that's a beautiful black coat and silver brooch she's wearing. :)
I think there are definitely Nature Spirits here. x
Hello Terri, Thankyou for the peacefulness of this video, your home ground always looks peaceful the music adds a special touch too.
Hugs and blessings 🌹💚
Hugs and blessings to you too. xx
Another very enjoyable video! I am going through some health issues and find nature is the only place I can find a little peace. I do feel better for it! Thank you.
If you can put your bare feet on the earth too, that is wonderfully healing. xx get well soon.
Such an important reminder Terri. Bless.💚
Blessings Pamela!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden ❤🇮🇪🍀
Beautiful video, Terri! Very inspiring and just what I needed to hear this morning.
So glad to hear that Brenda. Enjoy your day!
Thank you Terri.
Thanks for watching Carey. x
You live in such a beautiful place surrounded by nature. I live in a rural area with deer, raccoons, skunks and possums that run free and are almost like pets. The raccoons know their names! They share the food bowls with the outdoor cats. I just love your dogs and cats. The dogs look happy all the time. Have a great week Terri.
You too Pam. How lovely to share your home with wild animals. Our dogs are very happy i am glad to say.
Thank you Teri…my husband and I watched your video while eating breakfast…very nice…we look forward to your videos …your dogs are so cute…have a great day😊
Blessings Diane, thank you , that is lovely to hear.
I do love watching you videos, love ye too 💞
Thanks Helen - lots of love to you too. See you soon!
Those cats are so cute 💛
Great video, shared it on Facebook. Thank you Terry, you inspire me to go for a walk.
Thank for the beautiful video and the reminder. 🙏 I was just talking with a friend today about how much we miss being out in nature. It has been far too long for me.
Such a lovely, inspiring video, Terri. Thank you. I didn’t realize rocks hot heat. And I was very intrigued when you suggested you were perhaps going to make a basket from the willow branches. That would make an amazing video for a cold winter’s day. Have a peaceful week.
You too Michele, and may be I will do that.
Thanks Terri for this inspiring video. I'm a city dweller with no garden, though fortunate to have beautiful trees to look out onto. There's also an old cemetery nearby with wonderful trees and areas deliberately left wild (gathered brambles there), and bird & bat boxes put up. It's my usual route to and from the supermarket.... beats the graffittied subway! Really need to spend more time there.....just to be.☺💜
That cemetery sounds wonderful - it could be wilder than some parts of the countryside! A beautiful place to go to to be. x
