Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. That “something” inside of you that is tugging at your heartstrings is Him. It’s a beautiful thing to see how he provides for and watches over you. You are a very beautiful soul. Keep drawing near ❤

I get these bursts of appreciation for my beautiful life...and the first thing I do is thank God. I've lived through very stressful times, very uncertain times, times when I didn't know what I was going to do....I had so much fear I couldn't sleep and I had 3 young kids. This might sound cheesy but the only way I could sleep was to picture myself curled up in God's protective hands. If I could sleep, I could get through the next day. I don't share my beliefs generally because this life is a journey...and everyone is going to have their own journey.

Finances can be a huge stressor. What we did is put 20 cents of EVERY dollar we make in savings and left it alone. It takes discipline, but after a while, it became automatic for us. It is a structured way to save, easy to do, and the balance grows rather quickly. Just sharing what works for us.

I spend all of my 30’s in financial hardship . I was raising 3 kids on my own on a teacher’s side salary: $600- 800 a month , seeing for people and doing childcare before and after school and school vacations . And going to school at night for a Teaching program . It was so stressful . I am 67 now and retired . I honestly don’t know how I did it . But I did finish school and when I retired I left with a comfortable ( for me ) pension . For self care I meditated . Later when I could finally afford it ; I got massages , Reiki healings and allowed myself a splurge of a pedicure once in a while . Living frugal became a lifestyle from my struggle years . I enjoy your videos become you are so “real “ and you are humble and have such a lovely spirit . Blessings.

I am new to your channel and loving it. I am going through hard times right now and your channel is giving me encouragement. I lost my house and car this year and trying to rebuild my life. I bought a 2003 Honda Odyssey and started food delivery. I absolutely loved it then two weeks later my car won't drive faster than 2 miles an hour. A mechanic said it is the catalytic converter. so big bucks. I am trying to get a job to fix it. I have a cat and worry about doing vanlife with him because he doesn't like being in a car but hoping he will adjust. It taught me to be thankful and appreciative of what we have. Thank you for your videos.

I hope Meowzers gets used to the leash. That video footage did make me laugh, but then sad as I realized the situation. It was great to see you two together. There is a Canadian vanlifer who travels with two cats and he has a little popup kitty tent (vanlifeplus). It folds up so doesn't take up much space, and pops open so you could just pop Meowzers in and then go about your routine... I also saw a video a while ago where a kitty had some kind of tracking device, but I can't remember whose video it was. For self care when I'm feeling in a slump I do naps, swim, and chocolate anything... Lovely video as always. 💖💖💖🙏

Get the belt replaced as soon as possible. I had a belt break and I had to get a new engine. The breaking of the belt ruined the engine.
@grannydumpling52184 ай бұрын
For sure get your timing belt replaced ASAP. Honda Pilots are the best if the maintenance is done. If your belt breaks, you will be buying a new engine which cost thousands of dollars, instead of a thousand fora belt. So no more $5 coffee in the mornings. You need to save the $5. Just being real.

That episode where you picked up Meowzers to travel with you, but I saw you let her out of the car, I got really nervous about her potentially running away or getting hurt. I've had cats my whole life, so I know how they behave. The clip you showed reminds me of the "flop" mine likes to do if he's leashed, lol. I hope you can find a solution so she can travel with you. I live alone with my cats, so I know firsthand how much company they are! Safe travels.💜🐈⬛

Timing belt is important. Honda’s need them replaced at about 95,000-100,000 miles. I replaced mine at 80,000 something. Now I am at 160,000 and wondering when they need it again. I am such a Honda fan! Typically I drive them about 300,000 miles then a kid needs a car. I like my Ridgeline but several people want to buy it. Yet I don’t want to sell it. It’s a good truck! I got the first one and I hear it’s better than most. I hit a blizzard going over every mountain range save the Poconos last November when all those storms rolled in from the PNW. It didn’t care and didn’t blink. Locals pulling over or sliding off to the snow banks but it didn’t blink.

Hi Rowan, I’d never heard of ‘ door dash’ before so thanks for taking me along,it was very interesting. About hats, a friend and her daughter make hats to sell and do quite well at it.They go into local shops that sell the hats including local hair salons. They have built up quite a little business for themselves .l was thinking,though,for you, why not sell some of your artwork? I buy blank watercolor cards and envelopes from Dick Blick Art and paint scenes, birds, whatever and I buy the clear plastic sleeves from Amazon to put them in and sell them at local natural food stores and gift shops and book stores. My cards are 5 by 7,and I do 4 by 6. I think you could do quite well at it. 😊

There will be days when we feel alone or like we don’t have support. I lean toward gratitude and being gentle with myself to get through those days. And as you rebuild and live your life in alignment to who you are you will attract like-minded people and support! I’m here for support and ideas!! And if things feel too hard, one thing I try to keep in mind is there are always options, even if it’s just in how we view our situation. You’ve got this!! 💖
