Hi Di, I love love love to find a fellow earthing sister!! I also watched the movie and it just made sense! Can't explaing the science? behind it but just makes sense. And most of all, my body is loving it. I try to go for walks at the beach and since I live in an apartment and not much earth around my building I use my grounding mat at home. I also have a kitty who is terrified of the outside and is a total indoor fur baby... I got her a mat and she loves it and sleeps on it every day. And some symptoms of old age have been reversed and my vet doesn't know whats happening, lol. Its the grounding mat, I am positive! I am so grateful to have found your channel and your videos are healing to the soul. Thank you 💓

Hello Di, THank you for your beautiful video about why you started a YT channel after 50... It was like you were saying what was in my mind. You have really inspired me and I am sure many many people. Thank you for sharing your journey. I think I am ready to start the channel I have been contemplating for so very long. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Sending you grounding vibes from an introvert in Japan💗

What a beautiful and inspiring space you have. I rescue art from thrifts too. :) How wonderful to have a grandmother that kept the details of her life, and how lucky is she to have a granddaughter that has kept them so safe. Really neat story you shared. The kinda stuff you only read about in books or see in films. Thanks for sharing you space.

Excellent! I've just started my own journey on YT and I'm no spring chicken. You put it well when you said it's your way of preserving who you are. I have been making stuff my whole life and make such pretty things, my family encouraged me to start sharing them. My husband still drag races his 68 Camaro on the weekends and also shares his builds and race results on Instagram. He's even gotten cheap or free parts from other guys who network that way. I'm a home body as I've aged and I enjoy the company of other channel hosts. It's like hanging out with a friend and I don't have to get dressed....and I have all my stuff! LOL In fact, I am listening to this while cutting out tiny pictures for some magnets I'm making. I love miniatures and one of the channels I enjoy listening to when crafting mentioned that she's gets lots of comments about her speed and personality. She's quiet and reserved, makes mistakes and giggles along with them. She's young but she said that the majority of her viewers are older and suggested that because she is the way she is, she attracts that 'slower' style people. I would totally agree. It's one of the reasons I like her. The world is full of crazy, my creative space is one of the few places I can really relax. Thanks for sharing your story and your craft. I have subscribed. I've enjoyed finding gems like your channel as I have been building up "my subscriptions" list. 💕✂

All those childhood pains and sorrows. They do add up. We share them with others who understand. We press on.❤

it"s so sad you had to experience this... This sentence "I'm starting to understand me" is so powerful, and I am so happy for you, because it's so important to know and understand who we are... And now I have to go and search for Rumi poetry! ^^

Funny to see this video as I've just made myself a cup of tea, and it happened that I turned 50 recently.... I totally agree with you about not caring what others tihink, it hinders us in our creativity, and in our capacity to think outside the box. By the way, I thought of you those few days as I was in vacation near the sea, while I was barefoot in the sand and the (cold) sea, I thought of your video about the grounding.... I'm so happy to have found your channel! You bring so much calm, meaning, warmth.... Love and Hugs

Wow! the color stay strong and beautiful!!! great idea!

love what you have to say here! From fellow 50+ woman.

So easy! Thanks 💐

Thanks Di. A lovely video. I went and made myself a cuppa so that I could just listen and watch, but I forgot to drink my tea! Terrific to hear about your journey.

Great video Di, it's a big step to take that leap of faith, you are doing it well and with a great attitude. Had all the same thoughts as you when I started out, (at 62). Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Hugs xx

Lovely and incredibly inspiring my beautiful 🐝 friend. Xxx

Inspiring video, thank you!

Can’t wait to try it out !! Great video !

I’ve been subscribed for sometime, nice to see this video and totally relatable !! I started at 50! Never imagined I would have started a KZfaq channel but I agree with everything you said….i’m all about documenting my life and leaving my kids/legacy of who I am. I’m also an introvert and I think it shows in my videos 😅😅

You go Di! your kids, grandkids, & great grandkids, & friends will say wow! how wonderful to have such a cool & special person in our life! Thank you🦖

What a great idea! Have you tried with leaves? I look forward to seeing using them 🌸🌹🌼🥀🌻🪻🪷🌺🌷

Cool idea! I can't wait to see the wonderful art that you create with them!'🦖Love ya Di + Buddy!

I do not have a microwave. Oh well. I wonder if you bake them or air-dry them? Enjoyed your video. ❤

Will definitely be trying this method. Thank you for sharing.

What a beautiful way of saving a book that someone so dearly loved. I like how you made a mention of the pretty little doily in your journal. You are so sweet =:) Love ya! Jan & Cora🐕

oh wow!! at the beginning, before you added the pencils, it looks like fireworks! and then like if we were in your garden! so pretty!

Hi, Di! So nice to see a beautiful smile on your face! And I’m happy to see you’re doing better. Flowers 🌸 are nice brushes from what I can see! I must try them, your pages are lovely 🌸🌹🌼🥀🌻🪻🪷💐🌺🌷🌾

I really like the cover and your approach that shows your big heart! <3

Bonita homenagem. 🙏🌺

Talking about emotions in a foreign language is quite hard, at least for me. So to help you understantd the thought about the compassion, isn''t easy. It seems right to think that being compassionated (?) with yourself would help being compassionated with others, But in my case, it's the opposite, I tend to be very demanding on myself, and very empathetic with people around me. What I need to get out of my head, I wrote it on paper, wherever I am, whatever paper it is, from time to time, there's a urge to let words (thoughts) get out of me. And then I put the paper in a enveloppe in my journal. It's hidden, and there's an effort to make to get back to that thought. I love how you choose (or is it the opposite?) the red flower against your black umbrellas...

Your curly constant companion is so adorable. 🥰 Very cool work!

I do something similar! Cool!

I was one of those people to whom the morning pages made it worse. My late mother, disturbed by all her negative thoughts, tried that too and it made her feeling worse too, because she was always thinking about the same things over and over again. That being said, I don’t think that practice isn’t valuable. We’re all different and what works for some may not work for others. In fact, just because it works for the majority doesn’t mean it has to work for the minority. It’s the beauty of being human beings: we’re all unique. And I do love to watch you and see this is a great practice for you. I’m happy for you, Di, truly. Do you know what used to work for me? Writing letters to people I actually knew. Because I was writing to a real person who was going to answer me. Unfortunately one passed away and the other two are elderly now and not in the best condition to keep a correspondence with me and I have no one else… 🧡💙🤎💜🩵💚🩷❤️💛🩶♥️

What a wonderful idea! I always enjoy your videos. I hope you always have that inner peace. So important. Always love to see Buddy. He is getting so grown up=:) love Ya, your friend Jan

Such a Great idea, love this kind of journal using traags😍 I made one about ten years ago in a different way but your idea is now in my todo list. Thank’s for inspiring. Have a nice weekend! Greetings from the Netherlands Maia

oh another beauty!!

very lovely=:)

Your journals are always so beautiful. This one is no exception with each page being unique and done with love 🧡💙❤️🩵💚🩶💜♥️🖤💛🤍

Happy belated birthday to your hubby! I remember learning that poem in school (in English class) and I loved it! Your page is beautiful, the yellow ink is so bright!! and FYI, the journal arrived saturday! I looove it!

Hello Di, what a wonderful video! I have a great deal of daffodils in my garden at the end of March beginning of April here in Wi. U.S.A. I ❤them to. Now I will think of you and your granny every spring=:) It's great to see your sweetie is in such good spirits. I love the poem. and like that, you read it. Be well, my friend. And enjoy each breath you take.🦖

Beautiful!😊❤

Nice directions and love the video - comforts of tea- I am sitting on the porch at the lake now sipping an iced cold tea while watching this. I just subscribed.

This is exactly what I have been trying to do with my daughter about her intrusive negative thoughts. She writes them down on little slips of paper, sticks them in her scrapbook and then we aim to collage over them. 😊

Clever and Cool ideas Thanks 😊Happy Creating

I’ve not used this method of handling my difficult feelings. Above all please be compassionate to yourself about your “ugly hours feelings and words. This journey is about surviving and coping until you ‘re able to process enough to make your next step. Your gift of time and recognizing these are so wise I love Maya Angelou’s “ Do the best you can and when you know better, do better. Without the time to go on and. Paint as you do your work I began to write Haiku , lettin the rules of construction, wordcraft and imagery remove difficult feelings from within me before sleep occasionally I’ll read back over pages my journal and recognize a time person event and the pain associated. I see it, but no longer feel it. My support and prayers for your journey. Mary
