Congrats to you! And thank you!

Congrats! i'M 56 and looking for something New. Your commment gives me some Hope.

54 yrs old here, I was sitting at desk at work , ready to cry bc I just wanted to walk out of work and never come back. My job is tedious, stressful at times mostly board to death and think I'm turning into stone sitting at my desk 😔 10hrs a day 🤯

55 here🎉 Doing the same. Wishing good luck to all of us here❤

59 and working on my new chapter, outside of Canada 🇨🇦 👋🏻 Hello Ladies!

Sending you hugs from Chicago.

You are brave and I love it!

Hi Abby, I ve been playing all your videos and having quick looks at anything that might show your address. Aside from having the name of your stunning Chateau, knowing it’s near the town of Agen, between Bordeaux and Toulouse, I’ve not found an address for you. I would like to send a small package. Is it possible to have your address? I’m trying to place your Chateau in relation to other Château I am exploring out of curiosity. I forgot to mention that for many years now I am back living near Seattle, but hoping to return to Perú, where I am originally from. There I shall surrounded by my family of choice will remain til my passing. For the last 4 years I’ve mostly been bedbound. I spent many years living in England. This allowed me opportunities to travel back and forth to France, visiting friends and exploring lovely, off the beaten path villages, and precious countryside ruins, houses, chateau and certainly Emmaus and brocantes. I am feeling rather tired so I’ll say so long for now. Promise not to write such a long email again. I so look forward to knowing where you live. All the best.🦋

Thank you!

Thank you for the sage advice. So far I’m overwhelmed by how kind all the comments have been! Wow!

Well said!

Yes, those are the people who are NOT living their own lives or chasing their own dreams. They spend their days on the computer criticizing those who do. I have been traveling solo for 40+ yrs and this world holds so much for all of us to enjoy.

Thank you! 43 years! That's amazing seniority! Well done! :)

I’m a flight attendant and was flying on 9/11. I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m still working as a flight attendant but I’m an artist as well & have been obsessed with Paris and France since a little girl. Seriously considering a move in 2023. So happy to find your channel and follow along with your journey.

@@thechateauchronicles I just found your blog. I live in Seattle and have also become obsessed with finding a house in France. I'm enjoying following your journey.

Bjr, où résidez-vous🤔

Yes...the painting of RBG. I'd like to hear you tell about your art, your style, your inspiration to paint as well.

Ok! I’ll add an art video to the request list! 😍

Haha! All good questions! I’ll try and answer in future videos!

Great questions!

Actually she answered one of your questions already: she is planning to convert the Chateau into a writing retreat.

Hello 👋 how’re you doing?

Aww. You are very sweet, thank you! 🙂

Hello luminya, how are you doing?

Thank you very much! Glad you found us!

You totally get the vision. And yes a translation of the book could be interesting. So much to do!! :0

Thank you so much! Gosh! 🤩

Yay! Thank you! 😊

Thank you! :)

Haha! I hope you're right! 🤩

Yay! Thank you so much!

Hello 👋 how’re you doing?

Wow! High praise! Thank you. And yes, that's a good point about recessions.

I do hope you find the courage! It's super fun, even on your own. And yes, I love that movie, though I love the book more. :)

Yes, I am addicted to all the other chateau KZfaqrs. I would love to meet them, fellow Canadians! :)

@@thechateauchronicles I'm Canadian as well. I thought you sounded Canadian...I'm on Vancouver Island. Why not reach out to them..they seem very welcoming..are you far from each other?

Good luck! Sounds like a fun challenge! 😜

Thank you so much Linda! I so appreciate your comment! :)

Thank you so much!

Hello 👋how’re you doing?

Oh wow! Hi Tina! Yes, I remember you! I didn't realize I was one of your first clients! That was a really fun little tour! Thanks for finding me! I hope you are doing well! 😍

Thank you so much! 🥰

Wow, parallel lives for sure! Thanks for your comment! :)

OMG .. me too how delighted to learn about kindred spirits. After making it through stage 4 cancer, a mercyless brutal divorce, loosing both of my boys I decided to not give in nor give up on life nor myself but to do something for my bruised soul and to make my boys proud. Watching "Escape to the Château DIY" during my cancer treatment and grief, it somehow served as a magic key to a locked door within me, I finally allowed myself to dream again. It was this daydreaming of renovating something special, to breath new life into something that I felt it might somehow breath new life back to me. So this daydream of being a Châteleine one day became my daily muse, mantra and medicine - my very "Eat, Love and Pray" movie. I, well actually the Château found me in such magical way, and I am soon also starting my "U Tube Vlog" about my journey of becoming a Châteleine, being a Châteleine and doing something amazing and extraordinary magical for myself and my new beginning and fresh start in my mid 50s .. so thrilled to know two other amazing women doing just the same something amazingly rewarding and extraordinary magical&brave buying a French Château .. so hope to meet the lovely&amazing two of you along the way .. to our fab braveness ladys, Abby from @The Chateau Chronicles and @The Chatelaine .. 🍷🍷💖🏰

What an inspiration you are wow 🎉😮 please stay in touch 😊 🥂🍾

@@thechatelaine how kind, yes would LOVE to stay in touch. My Château is near Angers .. cant wait to visit yours & invite you for a 🍷 and show you around at mine. I will start my vlog in about November. I feel so excited now having found your channel. Thank you so so much & blissful day 🌹🌻🌹🏰😊

That’s wonderful! Good luck to you as well! I hope we meet at some point as well!

Right back atcha! @Mme Chatelaine Chronicles! Well done! I’ll look for your channel! ❤️

Thank you so much! 🥰

Hi 👋 how are you doing?

Haha. That's an excellent expression! I think I might adopt that! Thanks for following! :)

I'm so glad you found me too! I do know of a place you can go as a widow... it's called "Camp Widow" and it's an amazing conference for widowed people. You can find them at campwidow.org. Highly recommend. I hope to also have widow retreats! :)

@@thechateauchronicles I was telling our only child about your mission today to do these retreats at the Chateau. They are an Artist and headed abroad for 3 months soon. We both looked at one another and said," we're going to Abby's someday". Ive just retired, Artist. 60. You have two new fans and admirer's- Abby you know where i'm at at a year and a half. Your journey has really helped me. Thank you for the above camp, and link. again, godsend , woman. XX M.

Thank you! 🥰

Hello 👋 Tammy how’re you doing?

I'm so sorry for your loss. You are still so new to this whole widow thing. I am honored to be able to offer you a little inspiration. Be sure to check out campwidow.org. It's an incredible organization for newly widowed people. ❤
