She is a fairy indeed and dreams do materialize. When I was a child I was going through some hard time and as an escape, I used to draw again and again the same picture. It was a small fairytale cottage with red shingles, a green roof, white windows and shutters and a huge stone chimney. It was among the mountains, by a lake, surrounded by a stream with plenty of fish, and with a forest in the background. There were dragonflies, butterflies, bluejays, chipmunks and flowers all over. Decades later, my husband and I were looking for a small cottage, and we searched and searched for about three years but nothing was appealing to me. Unconsciously, I was looking for the magical cottage I used to draw during my childhood. And one day, at the turn of a tiny country road, here it was, the exact same cottage I used to draw, with the red shingles and green roof and white windows and shutters and the stone chimney and the stream with fish, and the forrest and the lake. And it was for sale at a price we could afford. We planted an array of flowers. But, what was even more unbelievable, were the bluejays, the chipmunks, butterflies and dragonflies all over. So, yes, I believe in magic.

I have to admit this is kind of embarrassing, but as I listen to you talking about "things not working our way", and "moments that you're not so sure about", I felt this urge to confess something that happened to me when I watched one of your videos. A little over 6 months ago I was at my lowest, feeling unbelievably frustrated with my achieviements in life. It was on a regular day after work - the source of most of my concerns that time, that i started watching one of your videos... I believe it was "the beauty of an ordinary life". I don't quite remember the exact words you said there, but I do remember pausing the video and kneeling at the floor. I cried such painful tears... I let out my frustrations and, maybe, I was forgiving myself for not being all I was hoping to be. It's a difficult memory, and as I go by your feed now, I can see I was only able to watch half of the video - maybe that was the breaking point for me. Now it's a full circle moment. The achievments I, then, could never reach, are even shy when it comes to what I was able to conquer along the months that came after that. Maybe I had to forgive myself, express some kindness and allow myself to find peace that... I was where I had to be. So.. yeah. Needed to share that. What you do is important. I'll always be here :')

I read a few weeks ago ..Rain on your wedding day is good luck because it signifies that your marriage will last. As you know, a knot that becomes wet is extremely hard to untie - therefore, when you “tie the knot” on a rainy day, your marriage is supposedly just as hard to unravel! 🥰

Single can be a blessing if you'll let it. I used to not want to be alone, but my marriage did not turn out well. Try 17 years of mental abuse. If I could do over again ... I would not marry. And at 65 have no plans to every marry again. Because I find the single life a real blessing. And will never let the words, When in doubt...Don't do it. Go by the way side. Also finding your special person does not mean happiness. Do not rely on another to make you happy, instead find happiness in yourself and things around you. Hope this helps😊💟💟

Congratulations on your wedding! My husband and I just celebrated our 45th anniversary in March and I can tell you that you cannot control everything in life and the sooner you learn to roll with the unexpected things, the better off you will be. You have the right attitude and will do well. When we were expecting our first baby way back in the 70's, women didn't get ultrasound exams. I was due at the end of July and in the middle of May, I went into labor and had premature twin girls. Needless to say that was a shock. Instead of one healthy baby, we got two sick babies and were totally unprepared on every level. So we learned very early on to roll with the unexpected because sometimes out of the unexpected comes joy. It made us stronger and taught us how to work together as a team and how to be selfless. Had things gone to our plan, I doubt we would have matured as quickly as we did nor would we have learned to work together as well as we did. Good on you for finding the positives! Hope you have a very happy life together.

Loved reading this! I truly believe we are never given more than we can handle. The human spirit and ability to adapt always amazes me. I'm 23 and it's interesting to me how many people my age yearn for yesteryear. Sometimes I find myself having nostalgia for time periods I didn't live in which is quite bizarre...then read things like not getting ultrasounds and realise I am definitely born in the right time period haha. However I think this era presents a lot of challenges to young people that our elders have no idea how to navigate, so much is brand new. BUT wisdom is eternal. The fundamental transitions and challenges humanity face are actually age old, just recycling in new forms. That's why I find Paola so refreshing, she's not a carbon copy, she's just herself in evolution and growth and willing to share it with the world. From my perception, youth culture has become increasingly obsessed with being a monolith, which is interesting given how individualist and selfish so many aspects of the West are. In your view were there parts of the 70s/80s that you think were positive which have not been held onto to?

@@matrix2297 Thank you for your comment. You sound like a very mature, intelligent and perceptive young lady. I too, think young people are facing challenges that my generation never had to deal with and frankly, I am very grateful to have been born when I was. I don't know if I could navigate being a young person today, however, everything is relative and if you don't know anything else, then I guess you can't miss what you never experienced. Some things are better today, but I think many are not and most of it revolves around technology. We have 4 daughters who are 27, 33, 45 and 45 and I see such a difference between the first two and the youngest, despite being raised the same way by the same parents and I can't help but think it is the influence of the times we live in. The 70s and 80s were not perfect, but I feel they were much more innocent times on many levels. Everything was simpler. No Pinterest style parties and showers. No KZfaq makeup videos. (something my 20 yo granddaughter watches constantly and she spends a fortune on makeup) And I didn't know anyone who used a planner and planned their life down to the last detail. TV shows were better and more family oriented and you would watch TV together as a family a lot of the time. Where I grew up, there were deep rooted traditions that were observed community wide and a moral code that most every one lived by. People weren't offended by every little thing. There was no doubt about right and wrong and if you choose wrong, there were consequences. There were more 2 parent families back then and you had to earn what you wanted in school and in life. No participation trophies. And schools were much better back then as well. I pulled my youngest two kids out of school in 2000 and homeschooled them because I didn't like what I was seeing in our public school and I feel for my kids that are having to deal with kids in public school today. If given the choice of living today or back then, I would go back in a heartbeat because I think things were just less complicated on many levels.

You were blessed in so many ways on your wedding day. The rain, the rainbow, sunrays, little animals and hummingbird all are considered lucky omens. So it seems that your Wedding was affirmed by all nature and your families. Congrats again. Love to see you creating so many beautiful lovely things..you are so blest.

My wedding day was exactly the same, so stormy the night before and when I woke up in the morning. I didn't mind so much as it was October and my decor was gothic/halloween/dark fantasy so it fitted the atmosphere. But when it was time for the ceremony the sun came out and the birds were singing and it was so magical 😊

You’ve created a home even sweeter than your last. And, your lavender ice cream looks divine. I used to make lavender raspberry upside down muffins. The bottoms-which were the tops when served-were covered in moist pecans. Yum! Much happiness to you both!

It poured on our wedding day...but I still had a smile on my face with the changes. Pinning up my dress and wearing my Mother's white coat to get to the church. I also bought 'go go' ( the 60's) white boots in case of snow and then wore them for rain!. Married 38 wonderful years and certainly saw the good luck. 😘 Blessoings to you & Luke in your new married life 💐❤

I live in WA state and am loving the cooler & wetter weather that we’re having- hope it continues 💚 Oh no! Sorry to hear that you were sick. Your wedding ceremony sounds wonderful despite the rain earlier in the day

We had a similar experience with my daughter’s fall wedding-absolutely beautiful weather the day before and after, but the day of the wedding it was chilly and drizzly. But it was still a wonderful ceremony and the autumn colors looked even brighter against the gray sky. You just receive the day you have been given & enjoy it. And your blue ice cream looks lovely in that blue & white china.
