I agree with Katie: I LOVE all of these unique “rock star” ideas!! I have been searching for something NEW to try, so I’m really excited now!! I think I’ll start with the devotional/coloring book!! I have always loved to color & used to color with my son when he was little. It will bring back fond memories!!! Thanks Leslie!

My father has a rare form of dementia. He just turned 59. I watched this video to help me have hobbies to keep my mind busy as i have been struggling, as a 27 year old with a father in a nursing home. Its nice to see they are others going through similar times. Thanks for sharing ! I look forward to trying some of these hobbies! ❤

I just signed up and ordered TheFlower Letters! The same one you ordered. I can’t wait to start getting them. I love all your ideas. I rug hook and do Bible Journaling and read to relax. I love studying Gods word. I live with chronic pain 24 -7 . I’m handicap so my life is in a recliner all day and night. Chemo and radiation did a lot of damage to my body. I have Lupus also. Y’all are in my prayers always, thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. 🙏🏻❤️🤗

I encourage people to use something like the legacy journal. My mother has dementia, but in the process of going through some of her things recently I came across writings she had done of her childhood and growing up and these are treasures for me right now. I also had given her a Mother's Journal for Mother's Day one year and she had filled that in also. Time goes by quickly, and our health or physical ability to write can change over time, so these opportunities to leave our messages behind are important to do in the moments we are able.

I’ve been spending a ton of time on Pinterest. I have a board called “cozy” that’s full of images that make me feel good. It’s so perfect for scrolling through before bed.

Great ideas for everyone . I love British mystery movies and detective programs . I make hand made cards to send to people and supply my older sister with stationary because she loves sending things the old fashion way . Her handwriting is beautiful and she’s 82 . In the summerI love my flower garden , it’s small and enclosed , so peaceful . I also sit outside in the warm months with a coffee or tea and the little kids in the neighbour hood come visit me . We all need something that gives us pleasure right . Blessings .💕

Great ideas and several I’ve never heard about. I’ve been a sewer and quilter for years and still love to sew. Recently, I returned to cross stitching. I’m amazed at how the craft has evolved and it’s been so much fun. It’s so easy to pick it up for a few minutes and get some stitches done or stitch while watching a favorite show. Because it’s so portable it’s perfect for waiting rooms for doctor appointments. 🙂

A couple of tips. For the diamond painting or gem painting when u get your first project you will need an organizer for your gems & it comes w/more tools you’ll need. Amazon has them inexpensively. Also if you want to order a tea time subscription do so right away. I’m told by them that my first issue will take 2 1/2 months for the first issue to arrive.

You have some very unique hobbies. Great ideas. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who designs a dream home that I will never live in. The one thing that is different from you. I have found a few homes that are for sale locally and I look on pinterest to decide how I would remodel and decorate them. It doesn't cost me anything and it's so much fun. Lets me be creative. Love the new tackle box and also I see you have waders.

Hobbies are very therapeutic. I saw a man one time talking about how he loved the women in his life. They were so nurturing, and loving and they make him feel so loved and he knows they love taking care of the family but he couldn't figure out how these wonderful nurturing women were so obsessed with True Crime Murder Mysteries. lol It is strange but so true.

Enjoy your channel so much!! On your coloring devotional, color a little on each page when you read the devotion and move on to the next. After you’ve gone thru the book, start over and color in on the pages again to finish up or just do this as a continuation. This would give you a goal to finish but also not get board on each page. Just a thought. Blessings to you and Jason.

I color a lot with my granddaughter but I have always kept books to color in. Good idea to color when you can. Those are detailed. Yea, it’s sad to think about the loss of cursive writing. Our children and grandchildren don’t even know how to write with beautiful cursive. So many have such a lovely handwriting and it’s so pretty and each is unique. ❤️

Hi Leslie....You had recommended/suggested The Flower Letters as a gift idea, so I looked into it. I didn't know what to get my 86 year old mother for her birthday. So, I decided since she can't read like she used to and the fact that her husband just passed, that she might enjoy receiving mail and get lost in the lives and adventures of someone else. Well, she LOVES receiving them! I'm here visiting and have had the chance to read the 4 letters she's received so far! What a fun idea!!! I so appreciate all of your ideas and suggestions. I do pray for you and Jason and will continue to lift you two in prayer! Thanks again for all you do for your followers. Hugs!!

I love all these ideas! It is so great to see how you are doing your "self-care". The pinterest idea reminds me of when I was a kid. My sisters and I made these "Life" books where we cut people and things out of magazines and created our dream lives out of pictures. It was so fun. I enjoy hiking but I haven't done it in years unfortunately. I feel like it was so much easier to get outside when my kids were little-a trip to the park or play ground usually made everyone's day better!
