Thank you! 😊

@@Anne-yw6ed Thank you, sweet one!

@@Lily_Autumn I appreciate you so much! The yellow text is embedded, and there is an additional option for black and white larger subtitles/captions, which you don’t seem to have turned on. Click the gear symbol and turn on subtitles for an easy read. ❤️❤️❤️

@@sierraodessa Ahh thank you, I had no idea! 😅 I will do that! Looking forward to your next video already! 🥰

@@Lily_Autumn haha, yes! Or just press 'CC' on the vids bottom right. - Looking forward to sharing more! Thank you again.

It’s so close to the city but really feels like a world away, doesn’t it? It’s truly a transcendent experience! Thank you so much for your vulnerability and for sharing! 🤍

Isn’t it great!? 😍 I soaked it in 2 parts white vinegar & one part water overnight then used a super fine grit steel wool pad for scrubbing. Once the rust was removed I used Brasso for polishing. 🤍

@@sierraodessa Thanks so much, I’ll give it a try! 💝

@@Lily_Autumn Good luck! 🥰

@@sierraodessa Thanks, lovely! ☺️💓

Thank you so much, sweet one! ❤

You absolutely will! I'll be posing my next one within the next day or two, so please sign up for notifications! I can't wait to chat more. ❤ ❤ ❤

Thank you so much! I love sharing in this way! Thank you for being here. ❤

I don’t plan to stop. :) I’m already working on next weeks video! ♥️

Anne - the photobooks have been a major part of my life for the last decade, especially. Sometimes the only inspiration available to me when my surroundings weren't enough; before I was able to see beauty in the everydayness of my own life. I appreciate you for being here and for watching until the end. Thank you! ❤

Thank you so much, Louise!

Thank you so much for being here! 🥰 New video will be posted this week. 🤍

It makes me want to weep; akin in spirit and in obstacle. To take a chance on ones self is no easy feat, but I firmly believe that on the other side of hurt is growth, if one can believe such miracles exist. :) It brings to mind a poem, 'Love After Love', by Derek Walcott: "The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread, Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life." ❤

I firmly believe such miracles do exist@@sierraodessa as I'm fortunate recipient & witness to power of divine transformation. I say 'divine' simply because we would not willingly choose to experience those kinds of devastating losses, one after the other, after the other & so on, until we find ourselves at a breaking point - do nothing, retreat, or move forward despite & thru that pain. I've found there are so many of us in this place, those of us still in Before the leap, & those, like us, safely & miraculously on the other side. I remember being terrified & full of grief to leave so much behind, but then I dreamt about standing atop tallest cliff imaginable & a beautiful angel saying, Leap & we will catch you, don't be afraid. So I leapt, & afterward wondered why I'd been so scared😊 Thank you for sharing Walcott's poem, I'd never heard it before & it's beautiful🥰 I've come to believe that, only thru such growth & change can we truly learn to see & love ourselves, as we really are in all our human frailty. Once that new self appreciation & wonderment starts, it seems whole universe opens up & showers us with thousands of miracles, tiny & large. I read that the universe loves a stubborn heart, so for all those suffering in silence under oppressive events that threaten to shatter you, I'd say the following - throw off illusion of being stuck, embrace opportunity & leap yourself into new love & new life💖

Hi! Thanks for being here. 🥰 It’s nice and convenient - I just keep it on the front porch and split as needed. I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you@@sierraodessa I enjoy your vids, very similar to life where I am :)

This is so, so sweet. I feel incredibly fortunate to be here and in this exact spot, specifically. I can’t wait to show you all more! 🤍

It’s been fixed in the most recent video. :)

Hi! Thank you so much for being here - It makes me smile to know that you’re from the area. 😊 As far as the font size, it’s been fixed in the latest video. Thanks again!

Thank you SO MUCH for this! Considering you’re in NYC, and my being less than a year removed from it, you’ll be able to understand my overwhelming sense of peace more than most, I’d think. ♥️♥️♥️

It is so meditative! I’m already looking forward to this end of summer activity. 🥰

Absolutely! And that decision led me to what I believe is the best decision I’ve ever made - being here. 🤍

Thank you for being here! 🥰

Hi! There's a company called 'Kindling Cracker' that sells fantastic ones. They're cast iron and make splitting a breeze. Thank you for being here!

I never have either, makes so much sense! Thirty winters in Vermont, could have used that!

@@stj971 😅

Hi! Caption/subtitle size can be adjusted by you clicking on the gear ⚙️ button on the top or bottom right of the video (depending on how you’re viewing it) and choosing your desired size. Caption/subtitle size is by default chosen by CZcams, not me, unfortunately. 🤍

She loves to be included in EVERYTHING! haha As far as the wood, I in fact did not keep any of it. It’ll live on for eternity through this video. :)

Thank you! Despite reservations from those around me prior to working on it - I had to let ‘em know that I had a vision AND a point to prove! lol

Your comment came seemingly at the perfect time, as I am only NOW (six months later) able to calmly sit back and reflect on how traumatic that time was for me -which now feels like a miracle and perhaps a superpower- that I was able to turn my grief into good despite the circumstances. Considering my history of feeling deeply to the point of fragility, I had never previously known myself to possess such strength. I truly appreciate you SEEING ME and for being here to witness my truest moments of Becoming. All my love. ❤

There is certainly something exciting about it in ones youth, or even in small doses (for me personally). But my soul was calling me elsewhere, and when your soul speaks - one must listen! There is so much beauty and purpose to be found on the other side of fear! 🤍

Thanks for watching! 🥰

Thanks so much! As a summer baby, I am so surprised at how much I’m LOVING the winter and the cyclical nature of things. 🤍 Thank you for being here.

It's GORGEOUS! Thank you so much for being here. ❤

I saw that! Thank you SO MUCH for being here and taking the time to watch them all! It means the world to me. ❤❤❤

You understand! :) Thank you for being here!

Thank you so much for watching! I'm working on fixing the subtitles for all videos moving forward. I appreciate you! ❤

And thank you for such a lovely video! Also, little lamps, me too! ❤@@sierraodessa

@@bburke6650 lol! They (especially warm light) brings me so much joy!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed! There is so much more Willow to come. lol

Thank you so much for sharing! I'd love to know - When you say it gets worse, do you mean energy-wise? Having to become re-familiarized with your environment? Getting to know new people? I'd love to know your thoughts! Thank you again for being here!

Thank you so much for your sweet words! Where do you live that makes your winters muddy and grey? ❤
