    I so enjoy hearing your stories!😍
    Heather was a very bright seven-year-old! Imagine writing such a thorough and detailed letter at that age. Most seven year olds can’t even read, much less write & spell words correctly.🤪 Add to that, having insight and consideration for her elders to spend the time to make a Beautiful and creative homemade card to write her letter on. Amazing! You must be so pleased to have found that card. What a treasure! You sound like you have had an exciting, adventurous life while she was growing up. 💙 Who painted the whimsical, colorful umbrella, painting that hangs over your bed? It’s such a fun painting.🤩 I’ve enjoyed our visit today.

      Dearest Reba! Your comment captures Heather so precisely. She was such a dear little one. I realized why she drew and cut out this beautiful image of an elephant. It was because Auntie Cathryn and her husband traveled the globe and spent many long sojourns studying the wild life, long before there were so many parks and other conveniences. Her favorite animal was the elephant because of their nurturing qualities in the Elephant families. She would tell Heather many stories of her adventures. It may be why she had the gumption to go into darkest Africa to build a business fearlessly, and lovingly.
      It is all coming together for me now.

      I’ve loved elephants since my childhood. Most children ask for a pony, I asked for an elephant!🤣 🤩

    Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story of Heather. Yes, I love children too. I taught school for thirty six years. Elementary school but I loved working with young children and watching their creative abilities. Blessings for the children and for you.❤

    I started to watch you in the beginning like 4 years ago! I can’t even believe 4 years have flown by and you have over 7,000 subscribers. I found your channel all those years back because my Aunt gave me a book about creative spaces and your space was my favorite so I looked you up on YT and to my surprise you had a new YT channel. I’ve watched many many of your videos and your childlike spirit is just what I love because I too have a similar spirit. I claim Pippi is my Spirit person and you to me are like a real live pippi.
    Thank you for spreading joy and God’s light! I decided ro be brave and begin a channel a year and a half ago. It’s been a real slow go but I’m loving it so much after quitting my job of 31 years. You are a true inspiration.
    I just love your stories and Heather’s letter was so dear. She learned so much from her wonderful parents.

    I enjoy hearing about your life, especially the childhood days. These stories were so fun and interesting. Such sweet memories. Victoria, you have so many wonderful memories , would be nice if you had Short Story Books with illustrations. Thanks for sharing your story…❤📚🍓🧸🛶

      Dear Bren, it has been suggested so offer … the idea of short stories to share. It seems it is an advanced idea. I am trying to understand it but my life is so full of work, I can’t imagine, yet, carving out another project. Somehow TH-cam has been so gentle in my days, and it comes naturally … unfolding before me. I never know what is to come forth with it. Perhaps it is, for now, a natural way to share. I pray that I am not forcing a rose to open, lest I bruise its petals. I am listening and obeying every day. Surly Gods infinite expressions are to show me the way to give moment by moment.
      I am so glad for your support each step of the way.
      Sincerely, Victoria

    Thank you so much Victoria for sharing such a lovely card and story. My oldest daughter is also named Heather. Your Heather was quite a brilliant girl at the age of seven and seems like she has grown into a wonderful person.❤

      Yes, Lynda, I know just what you see too. I am amazed. I grew up with our wee Heather and she taught me everything important

      Oh, yes, I was very touched. It proves that every child has a Heavenly Father-Mother God, whom they follow and obey, eh?

    Beautiful story. Your daughter seems like a kind soul. Her writing skills for a seven year old were exemplary. Really like the painting in the background. One of your own paintings?

      Thank you so much, Kurt! You have rightly judged Heather. She has been the same since, we first met. It shows so clearly that there is no birth nor death … that our individualities are forever our being, our gift. Even as a wee tiny shape of a human, she was somehow so clear to me. I always felt the was raising me up as I watched and listened, and not the other way round.
      Again, thank you, sir.

    Dear Life, I am so grateful for your story of watching my work with trying to share in this manner. I was very much against the suggestion at first, but felt it was selfish to keep so private so I tried it. It was so strange at first. But soon, I found that speaking to my phone seemed to pierce through and I truly felt the kindness and the breadth and the togetherness with all this wonderful world. I shall always be glad for the shedding of self will, selfish motive, and relinquishing every false pride. I decided to put all self aside and just follow Gods impetus. The rewards for all of us, however have found each other, have been greatly rewarding. I feel we are serving up to God and sharing together. Th oh de whom have come to this channel are just as much apart of the service and the blessings am i.
    Thank you ever so much, for your recount and your inspiration to follow through in your search.
    Hi De Ho!

    I do agree with you. Sadly teachers are leaving the profession because they are overwhelmed by the behavior they must deal with in the classroom. Schedules are too rigid to allow for creativity and exploring. Teachers must follow prescribed teaching, too much testing, and conduct problems. We need to rethink education as something to look forward to every morning with good role models and good memories to make. I think this is why communities are forming home schooling. We never had this when I was young. We loved our schools and adored the teachers. Not everyday was perfect but we felt a part of something. I guess we were very proud of our schools. I have wonderful creative special memories and I wish that for all children. Like I said not perfect but perfectly good. Everyday was a fresh start. Hod gave us the “day”. Take care. 🍎📓🖍️

    Hi.
    , again! I checked with or friend and she said we don’t use filters but she noticed that we
    Jenner often have to use either my phone or her’s it does look a little different on each phone. So maybe one is easier to see clearly than the other. Thanks for checking in. Maybe there’s a 😂 more knowledgeable answer, but all we know is it is not a filter challenge🤔

  • @pam7931

    Is there any way you can stop using filters? It makes it very difficult to see things clearly. Thank you❤

    • @victoriamackenzie-childs7215
      @victoriamackenzie-childs7215  12 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Oh, Dear! Pam!!
      I don’t even know what a filter IS? I must have something turned on that is making it happen. I’ll send your comment to the friend whom has been holding the phone. She is not trained for this but has been doing it because she loves it and has been growing and learning so well. We’ll get right on it!
      Thank you kindly for this alert.
      Ahoy, Victoria
