Your videos are so calm and peaceful and beautiful. They are a pleasure to watch. You have a beautiful soul.

Do what is right for you. We would love to see videos every week from you - but not at the expense of your health, serenity, or happiness. We are content to wait for your next gift of beauty - and we savor every moment like a good book, a warm cup of coffee, or a visit with an old friend. We treasure the moments you choose to share with us, and because we don’t see you every week, the times you do share are all the more precious. You two keep taking care of each other and yourselves. 🩵🩵🩵

Such a sweet story...your videos bring me peace and the beauty of Norway is breathtaking.

I love how you filmed this and thank you for your vulnerability.

So happy you are enjoying knitting!! I love knitting. I find it very meditative and addictive. It’s funny when you admitted to knitting because I had been admiring your scarf through out the whole video 💙

Thank you for sharing your beautiful life. Remember to live for yourselves and to not worry about what anyone else thinks.

Thanks for this video Leena. 🧡 I totally understand and feel what you're saying. Nothing wrong with having the same days for a longer period of time though. See it as a 'pregnant' time and space from which new things will arise. And that's already happening 😊 Beautiful to see that you are aware of your own process and that the beauty of life lies in leaning into the unknown with patience and trust. ✨ Wishing you much joy and fulfillment in your job as a story telling film maker and Joachim much satisfaction & joy in your work and running the store. You'll both find your own ways of doing things. It is wonderful to be able to each follow your hearts and support each other when needed. Much love for you both and Ivy & Alva and warm greetings to your lovely mum 💜💙💚💛🧡❤

Thank you Leena for this lovely video. I proposed to my husband and I kept my maiden name. My husband didn't care. He said that he was marrying me not adopting me. ❤❤

Moin Leena, es ist immer schön neue Videos zu sehen, wie kleine Überraschungen die einem Tag einen besonderen Moment verleihen. Vor allem, wenn ich mir das video in Ruhe ansehe. Ich freu mich immer wieder, bleib du selbst und gehe deinen Weg. 😊

You have a real talent and making these videos. They're so picturesque. But also very enlightening. It's inspiring to me to know that if something doesn't work in your life you just get on with something else that does work and you keep going. May you have success in your next adventures. Your life is very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to share it with us!

Wishing you all the best and many blessings! I also like to knit and also crochet. Right now I am a little obsessed with cross stitching. Your knitting looks beautiful!

Thank you for sharing the difficult questions I asked and thank you for the answers. Those are topics to go more in depth on, but I understand it's not the scope of the channel. You are a good person, Leena and you are bringing light to this world through your channel and everything else you do. You are highly sensitive and this world neeeds more people like you. Take care. ❤

Wieder mal ein sehr berührendes Video. Danke, dass du all diese nicht gerade einfachen Fragen gemeinsam mit Joachim beantwortet hast und auch deine persönliche Geschichte mit uns teilen magst. Es gibt sicher vielen jungen und auch älteren Menschen Mut und Lust ihr Leben aktiv anzugehen und neue Dinge zu wagen. 🤗🤗🤗

I love seeing you both. I wish you all good things this coming year. I love your home especially when it’s winter. The landscape is absolutely beautiful! It was nice to see your mom and of course your pups! Sending love! ♥️

Love the knitting ❤ and I wish you both a further success and happiness on your own paths.. ..🎉

Thank you for yet another lovely video and sharing your life with us. I must admit that I wouldn't mind if - from time to time - you'd get back to your earlier video style, with amazing cinematography and music, just showing the beauty of norwegian nature 💚 It was very inspiring to see you and Joachim answer family/marriage questions, those may often be awkward and uncomfortable, but you guys show as a perfect team, it really shows how great you are together, it is sweet to watch 😊

I really appreciate your videos!! At the end of the day it’s your lives and what happens is yours! I think it’s human nature to want to know everything about someone you admire. It can get a bit much sometimes when you are trying to live your life. You really balance your work and your life very well it seems. I think both of you pursuing your dreams at your age what an awesome gift. Thank you for sharing your talents and your life!! It is always appreciated. Love from Georgia USA❤

Kann ich gut verstehen, dass du einen gewissen Druck verspürst, weil youtube und der shop zur Haupteinnahme geworden sind. Mehrere Standbeine aufzubauen ist eine super Idee, gerade auch um wieder ein besseres Feeling zu schaffen für dich beim KZfaq Videos produzieren😊👍

Yes youtube needs to be a lovely thing for you both, constantly sharing your life just for another video must be exhausting, pressure. Thankyou for all you both do, all the very best wishes to you both, yes watch both your videos. Much love and to the dogs too ❤❤❤

Hello Leena & Joachim, I am so glad you two are still on KZfaq, seing you once in a while is better than never again! And it is totally understandable your want to create videos when you have something meaningful and dear to your heart to say. It's always a great pleasure to see you have posted a new video, and since it is occasional, it becomes a very precious moment. Thank you both for the time you take to bring beautiful Norway into our homes and to share with us your personal stories and your dreams, which makes me dream too!

Hey Lena, liebe Grüße aus Deutschland. Wie immer habe ich voller Vorfreude auf das Video gewartet und wurde nicht enttäuscht. Danke für deine Offenheit und vor allem die Antwort auf die Frage rund um euer Business und wie die Zukunft aussieht. Ich fand es vor allem interessant zu hören, wie das bei dir alles angefangen hat. Besonders spannend war es für mich aber zu erfahren, dass du offenbar genauso gestrickt bist wie ich. Wenn dir etwas Spaß macht, stürzt du dich voll und ganz rein, auch wenn es bedeutet, dass es dich auslaugt. Es macht ja auch einfach Freude. Das Problem ist dann nur, wenn man es wirklich übertreibt und da standest du ja nun schon mehrmals. Ich ebenso, was echt unschön ist. Da kommt dann wohl die Work-Life-Balance zu tragen, die ich mir selbst immer wieder vor Augen führen muss. Nicht so einfach... ;) LG

Beautiful video!! I’m a knitter too.. wonderful thing to do.. your scarf is lovely! Happy you are both finding your way.. as individuals, and as a couple! We love our 3 candle glasses so much! Best wishes from Medina, Ohio USA ❤🙋‍♀️

Hey Miss Leena and Mr. Joachim. Sometimes staying where you are, is good. I know, we have been in our home for 21 years now. We moved into a bare bones apartment. We did not cross the ocean into "living" in our apartment for the first 13 years. We had school, old broken furniture, DEBTS, hubby got very mentally challenged and that took several years to work itself out. When we got to the other shore, life opened up to us, and also opportunity knocked. But it seemed that the universe wanted us to learn several key lessons before allowing us to move forwards. And let me tell you, we failed several times and had to repeat those failed lessons until we got them correct. The the universe allowed us to move forwards. But not before. That was clear to us. We were able to renovate the apartment completely, paint, furniture, everything. Hubby has been a successful independent contractor for many years now, and works from home. I am our housekeeper and chief cook and bottle washer. Things got much better than they had ever had before. But the universe is always keen to throw a STOP SIGN down when necessary. Take your time, stick to your map, sit where you need to sit, until it is time to move, THEN consult your map and make your move when you have the confidence to do so. Life is about the NOW. I think you both know that. Just because every day is the same, doesn't mean it has to be boring, the universe might be asking you to see things from all sides clearly, yes? Monotony is good for life lessons, yes? just keep in tune with the universe and it knows where you are, and when it opens the door you will know. And then remember that everything above is true. Love from Montreal tonight.

You two are so wise, so talented and so beautiful! ❤

Great plans. Well-done on rearranging things. This theme of creativity and money not mixing always always comes up with intuitive, creative people, sooner or later. They just don’t mix, working from inspiration and intuition and having to hassle with it - compeltely opposite energies and that’s why it never works. Good luck ❤ your videography skills are second to none and I am sure your job will bring you not just money but enjoyment

You are both wonderful! Love your vlogs x

So good to get an update / video on you guys 😊

Just the best for both of you ❤❤

Thank you a lot, Lena, for being so open with us and sharing your journey so far ❤ Loved hearing about every bit of it! All the best to you guys (and dogs) ✨

Thank you Leena for being so raw and vulnerable with us, I can truly appreciate your openness and authenticity in this world where everyone tries to create an illusion of perfection 🙏 It was very pleasant to hear more of your personal story, I think many of us can relate to your struggles and that's what connects us all here as we try to navigate life amidst the ups and downs 🕊 I'm so glad you managed to find a solution for your working situation and that you decided to do what makes you happy as you follow your dreams - I think it's a GREAT decision to separate your personal life on YT from a job and share only what feels right 🤗 Wishing you both lots of success and fulfillment in your careers 💕 You two are such beautiful souls, thank you for being YOU ✨🏆

Thanks for this Q&A video. I hope all works out well for you both. I always enjoy your videos; it's so beautiful in Norway.💚

soo schön!! vielen dank leena, dass du uns teilhaben lässt. irgendwie hats mich grad inspiriert. weiß noch nicht zu was, aber fühle einen funken... hihi, danke! ❤

I love your videos! They always make me feel calm, happy and inspired. You two are my heroes! 😊

What a lovely conforting video! I wish you both all the luck in the world with the changes you are making. I'm certain all will work out! ❤

You seem so happy and peaceful Leena. I'm happy for you :)

Thank you for your honesty and sharing your journey with us. I stumbled upon your videos by accident but I’m so glad I did … I love the whole style including the lovely music and your understated style

Danke Leena für dieses schöne, ehrliche Video❤😊 ich könnte stundenlang zuhören

your new haircut looks so good on you! I love it 😍

Thank you. Really good to hear of your plans ❤❤❤. Taking time out so importantl if your body needs the rest x

Thank you for sharing so openly about your career path, I found it inspiring to hear your story as a filmmaker and look forward to hearing about the next chapter of your work! Sounds like it'll be fun.

I'm so happy you're doing what's right for you and makes you happy. ❤

Do love your videos, so hope you continue as and when you are able to. And good luck with your new ventures !

Leena es ist so so schön deinen Weg so zu sehen und zu fühlen. Deine Entscheidungen fühlen sich richtig gut an! Ganz viel Freude beim Loslassen und Neu-aufbauen deines Businesses - ich freu mich über jedes einzelne Video von euch! ♥️

I love your KZfaq channel so much and I have been watching your videos since the very beginning. :) I can't wait to see what the future holds.

We have an odd marriage arrangement as well. 😅 He never proposed, we basically "agreed" to it the first week we met IRL, then we were LEGALLY married half a year later in July 2016, but still haven't had a ring, ceremony or name change, all of which I want. 🙃 But we're getting really close to buying our forest homestead as well. 🏡

Hi Leena, great video as always, and I like that you allow your vulnerability to show. You are right about the connection to the store - every video reminds me to have a look and I finally placed an order I have been contemplating for a while 😂

What a beautiful video. I am so happy for you and wish you all the best for your new old job and the focus on your well-being!

I loved the style of Q&A video, not just sitting in a corner and talk but you made everything together so well. Best Q&A video that I've ever seen. 😍 Thank you! ❤I wish you happiness and joy with each other and with your lovely dogs and with your work!❤

Dear Leena, I've become to really love your channel. Everything feels right and beautiful and honest. Keep on the good work. I wish you and Joachim all the best for your future.

Danke Leena! Super Q&A! Gute Idee die Fragen in deinen Tag einzubauen. Ich folge dir immer gerne, egal wann ein Video von dir kommt und egal obs traurig, lustig, kreativ, viel reden, gar nicht reden usw ist. Du machst das toll! Schau weiterhin gut auf dich und folge der Stimme deines Herzens ❤️ Habs fein und Danke für dein Sein! ❤

All the best in this new year, hope you find your farm soon. 🤗😘❤️

Danke für dieses schöne Video und die Ehrliche Beantwortung der Fragen. Ich finde es total schön, wie ehrlich und gut du dein Leben planen kannst und wirklich aktiv wirst es umzugestalten. Ich hoffe das ist der richtige Weg für sich und freue mich weiterhin daran teilhaben zu dürfen. Es ist für mich sehr inspirierend dein Videos zu sehen und regt mich zum reflektieren an. Tausend Dank und alles Liebe für dich 😊

Always a pleasure that you bring to us all by sharing. I wish you only the best with your new re- entry back at work Leena. Just know that your videos brought such a sense of joy and peacefulness and now you must do that for yourself. ❤ Find your place without pressure. Thank you.

Lovely video Leena. Beautiful scenery! Looking forward to the live stream. 😊

Knitting is a so satisfying during the cold of winter :) Taking care of yourself first and foremost means you can share your gifts genuinely.

Beautiful video as always. It’s good to have a “plan” of some kind, but those plans can change at anytime, so being open to the “surprise” factor that life often puts in our path is wonderful, we never know what the universe has in mind. Wishing you both the best year yet 🥰

Wonderful, thank you Leena 💛

Leena this video did feel spontaneous. You’ve made some great decisions, both of you. Yes I understand about the pressure around having your work life and your personal life intertwined. Too much. Really enjoyed this one. The old magic was there.

Oh, I totally get what you are saying about your viral video - was the one I discovered you with as well. It was so raw and honest, which of course it what drew people to it! Kinda a life lesson when you think about it, right? But I get that it was super uncomfortable as it was going on!

You guys are very nice people and your videos are just GREAT, go on this way and we will follow you for sure wishing you the best for your plans and dreams

Always those questions about having kids... You answered in the most perfect way ❤

Your you tube channel is a joy to watch and I hope you continue it for a long time.

Thank you! This was lovely! ❤

what a beautiful and intimate video, Leena and Joachim... thank you for sharing.

How wonderful you can be so honest in these videos. I do agree that some of your videos the past years didn't feel as magical as the ones before (still very nice to follow you, but you are capable of creating the most magical videos, apparently when you create the right space for yourself). So I'm so glad you re-evaluated your life and work and came up with this new solution. Even if I'd never see a video from you again, I would wish you all the best and hope you found what you have been looking for. But till that time, I love every video, especially the ones that show your magical perception of nature, adventures and Joachim's artwork. Even if it isn't for promotional purposes, you always managed to capture his artwork so beautifully, i will therefore definitely follow his channel too!

You guys are simply adorable! And as an aside, having done portrait (and wedding) photography for over twenty years, I’m drawn to peoples’ eyes - and you both have the most beautiful eyes! I often wonder what my life would have been like had my great-grandfather and great-grandmother not moved to the US from Norway and Sweden. The landscape is absolutely stunning, a photographer’s paradise. ❤❤

I've really enjoyed your videos since I discovered them last year. They provide me with peace and serenity during these troubled times and I enjoy your beautiful photography and hand-painted pottery. Jenny

Oh your mom and u look so similar that was so cute to see 🥰 and i loved how Joachim answered the children and the married questions, that was so lovely 😊 sending tons of love from Ireland

Share anything you wish. I enjoy your channel and the lovely scenes of your life and lifestyle. Peace to you and Joachim 🥰

Inspirierend zu sehen, wie du dein Leben immer wieder neu evaluierst und es dementsprechend gestaltest. Ich habe deinen Kanal über die RUSU entdeckt (dein Post hatte mich sehr angesprochen) und bin seit dem geblieben. :) Freue mich über alle deine Videos, mich beruhigt und inspirert jedes einzelne davon.

Blessings to you and your family!!♥️♥️♥️

Das waren sehr spannende Insights und toll verpackt in schöne Alltagsgeschichten. Vielen Dank für deine/eure Offenheit. Ich finde es super, dass du beruflich dein eigenes Ding durchziehst und das tust, was dir gut tut und nicht das, was KZfaq von dir verlangt. Weiter so

I am pleased to see that you both respect your personal needs... not easy to do... be together looking in the same directions while pursuing you own personal growth process. Happy that you learn it young. It is an important clue to solve in a couple's life. It is so often that woman sacrifice their own dreams... an old pattern that has to be transformed. Maybe returning to your old job will offer the opportunity to find you dream farm?!?!?! You will go in many new places, new people...so...I wish that you find it at the right moment and the right place!💖🙏💫

You're so beautiful, inside and out! I hope and pray for a healthy, and happy life for you and your family. HUGS! ❤

Qué alegría ver al perrito de nuevo!! En los dos últimos videos que he visto no salía!! Estaba preocupada por él!!! Me encanta ver lo bien qué se llevan los dos. Es un espectáculo verlos!!!

I love watching your lives, it is so enlighting! It is nice to see that you both are focused on what you both want in the future. I am really glad i found your channel and wish you both as alway's good health and good fortune ❤🤙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇩🇪🇳🇴

❤❤❤ hi Leena... It's always amazing to see your videos .. I would definitely want to go to Norway because of your videos ...🎉❤.. don't stop filming them ... Cheers from Bogota

Fortsett å drømme og ta en uke om gangen ❤ Så hyggelig at du lærer å strikke, jeg finner mye ro med det.🥰

All the best to you guys! 🙌🏾👌🏾💙

So pleasant videos. Thank you!

You guys are very cute! But the dogs are the cutest :D also this video gives a very calm hopeful feeling I actually feel motivated to make more videos myself so thank you :)

Such a sincere, lovely sharing 🥰 I'm so happy over you that you found ways how to make your everyday life more exciting and do things what you love. As much as we would want to help people around us, we just cannot forget our own needs and passions. I wish to you all the best, you are such a inspiration with your videos and stories 😍😘🌞

Cool to have some news from both of you.

Congrats on your engagement 🎉

Gute Antwort auf Frage 5! Alles Gute!

So schön von euch zu hören.🥰 ich kenn das mit der fehlenden Inspiration und dem Druck, wenn man versucht Erwartungen zu erfüllen. Ich wünsch dir ganz viel Erfolg mit deinem Business🤗 und eine entspannte Übernahme des Shops für Joachim. Und grundsätzlich einfach ganz viel Spaß und Freude für das Jahr🤗 Bin sehr dankbar für eure Werke(Videos wie Kunst) ihr seid einfach ne riesen Inspiration für mich🧡

Congrats to you both! I think, in Canada after being together 6 months to a year you are considered common law married but some people still have the ceremony, officiant, and the party. But every country has different rules. Also, when my aunt got married she took her husband's last name more in 'name.' However, legally, her last name is still the family last name because she didn't want to pay to get her last name legally changed because she said, it costs more money.

Good to catch up with you both. I always enjoy your films and good luck with your new business. As Kath has written, you should do what is right for yourselves. So glad to see you have taken up knitting. I find it the best therapy….I’m knitting an ‘Emotional Support Chicken’ at the moment 😁 Best wishes to you both and of course the doggo’s❤🦴🦴

Loved how your creative drive saved you, Leena. School systems throughout the developed world are failing too many intelligent people. Even through your natural insecurity after school, you seemed to know what you wanted and what you didn't and managed to work it out. I wonder how - I find that fascinating and it's a huge strength. As a viewer I completely agree with you about KZfaq. I really value creatives, such as yourself, who post occasional high quality cinematography, rather than those who feel forced to post on a schedule. Having to do administrative work, destroys creatives, because it's a fundamental skill mismatch. Have you priced in the time you spend doing it, so that could employ someone to do it for you ?

Stay positive, Leena. Wish I had someone like you in my life. Just sayin' . . . ❤

Lovely video, thank you ❤Please share your knitting patterns! Your jumper and scarf are so beautiful!

Дякуємо за цікаве відео - Те, що ти робиш, ВАЖЛИВО Бажаємо каналу Leena Henningsen процвітання та багатства. Вітання з України!

You make such wonderful videos❤️

You guys are too cute ❤Thank you for sharing 😊

I like your days. And actually jealous your lifestyle . I relocated to USA, working 24/7 for big corporations, building my career, every thing about money :) . I find your video soo peaceful and enjoying, and think that ,yes I have my dreams came true, with cars, house and carrier, but I am jealous when I am watching your inspirational videos. You are brave, beautiful women, I wish you everything the best. Please don't stop making videos for us.

Great insight into life in that country.

Herzlichen Dank für dieses wunderschöne Video und liebe Grüße aus Österreich. Ich spüre die Liebe zur Natur und zu deinen Tieren. Das tut einfach nur gut.Ich habe mir diesesn Winter alle deine Videos angeschaut und seitdem schaue ich keine Nachrichten und ganz selten was im Fernsehen an.Vielen Dank nochmal. ❤😊

We looked for a couple years for a small farm/property, so I understand the excitement and then disappointment. We even took a break for several months. When we started again, a property just clicked for both of us. We have never been sorry. Sometimes it’s better if you just let the journey unfold how it wants. Your attitude is great. You will know when it is meant to be yours. Blessings.

Thank you so much for sharing the struggles you have had with KZfaq and your channel. I can defiantly relate to that as we have been making videos for years in an attempt to save our farm and make a livelihood from it. I use to thing that if we only would get a viral hit all our dreams would come trough but not anymore. I have seen so many channels getting that one hit video just to discover that if you don’t upload often enough the viewers are slipping away. I can just imagen how stressfully that must be if your livelihood is depending on it. Our upload schedule did not bring anything positive to the farm it slowly tock more and more resources until we where not farming anymore. We were making videos. I hope that your new business will take away the pressure around making videos as it is near impossible to be creative when you are forced in to it. I would also advice you to look for farms on the vest side of Norway as they are often lower in price that those around your area. It is a bit wetter hear but also warmer. Good luck 🤠👍

Beautiful story❤
