The fact that all your angels and ancestors came to your aid in the person of those church members is truly inspirationally and reminds me that we never walk alone....ever💜💜💜
I love the way Vanessa is color co ordinated in her clothing to her van . A very creative talented lady. All the best Vanessa.
Yes, Vanessa’s color coordination gives such a great feeling! Thank you for watching 😁❤️
I'm with her. I don't have a fixed bed. I want all the open space I can get. I have two folding cushions to sit on during the day. I lay them out at night addingva third folding cushion. It's so perfect.
You are such an inspiration Vanessa and your humorous personality is so infectious. You have a cute functional van and that kitchen is definitely game changer in place of a bed build. Love it!
So glad you enjoyed Vanessa’s van tour! ❤️😁
@@BlueWonderLady I have an idea I want to share with y’all. Not sure if it’s too much $ but, I watch people showing their toilets and I have been thinking about how something would work. People who have to wear bags for their stoma after having their colon removed can get a bottle to put just a few drops of liquid in their bags to keep it from having an odor. You don’t have to use much. It’s just a few drops and bottle will last forever. Let me know if anyone tries it. I am trying to get stuff together to go on the road and hopefully can join everyone soon so maybe one day I will see you down the road!😁
@@BlueWonderLady They can get it anywhere they sell medical supplies.
I think the word you were looking for was a buffet, a place to put your cookware/dishes in a traditional dining room.
Amazing and innovative woman! You know who you are and you know what you need. I have so much respect for you and the life you've built!
Vanessa you are a survivor 💜 When you were telling your story I was choked up and crying 😢 Wishing you the Best in all you do 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks honey
Awesome interview! Vanessa is a beautiful woman full of wisdom. We all can learn a lot from her.
Glad you enjoyed it!
And not a bad singer.
For sure.
Wow! She is SO clever. I must have added about 5 things to my trash picking list as I scavenge for materials for my own future van. LOVE her milk crate covers, the shower surround sliding doors, the converted tray table... She's an upcycling genius!
That’s great! ❤️😁
Lol yes I am thanks
This gorgoues Lady just blew my mind. May she be blessed with lots of Love, good fortunes, health and all the good things that can be in store for a fab woman like her. What a life story. It´s horrible beeing homeless and Vanessa is a perfect example how a human, especially a woman can survive and overcome trauma, homelessnes etc. maybe one day, Vanessa will be able to go life in a house or appartment again, if she wants to. and her Treasure, or was is Precious (?) is the most WOW factor. I wish Vanessa all of the very best for her life. She is an absolute ROLE MODEL. WOW.
Thank you so much for your kind words
Vanessa is living proof that we can all make the best out of a bad situation without making excuses or feeling sorry for ourselves. God bless her ❤️ If anyone deserves anything, it’s her and I hope she gets everything she needs. I saw her on Bobs channel too but this one goes into more detail about her life before this. She learned how to adapt in every situation and made her little spaces beautiful! Love this woman’s attitude. ❤️❤️❤️
Vanessa…you are so honest, sweet & grateful. Also, frugal, creative and a planner! Such a joy to find you on you tube!

Wow what a beautiful spirit. Resourceful, creative, grateful…..deserving of all the blessings bestowed.
Thank you
She is really a fantastic organizer. Her van is cozy with nice colors. Great decor.
Thank you for sharing Vanessa and her story. I cried a few times while watching. I relate to her story of hardship. I have no one. I really feel like my house is killing me and have wanted to live in an RV for years. I found vanlife videos in 2020 and have been dreaming ever since. I need to get out! I need help though. God bless you both!
Keeping you in my prayers stay strong
Hello Judy, Have you contacted homes on wheels alliance? I will keep you in my prayers ❤️🙏
Same. Do it now! I wish. Currently homeless in AZ. Living with fam but can't last!
I really enjoyed Vanessa's story. Thanking others for helping her up. And the strength to keep going.
Yes!
Ms Vanessa is a wonderful lady and it was so nice to meet and spend time with her in Quartzite. It was also nice to meet you too. 😊
Hi Crystal and La GREENga! It was great meeting you too! Thanks for saying hi ❤️😁
Awww, love her already! ❤Vannessa’s story is very touching and very inspirational! Love all the DIY in her van, so creative!She’s got a very bright smile and a great soul! 😊keep on vanning! 🚐
What an absolutely charming interview! Vanessa is the most engaging hostess I've seen on YT, bar none. I first watched the interview where she described living in the abandoned building and having her property stolen and the transformation from that sadness and almost defeat into this funny, warm and CREATIVE young woman is astounding. More! I want more! Thank you so much for introducing us to her.
Yay!! Thank you for the great message. Very encouraging.
I love the uniqueness of her van. 😊 She’s a breath of fresh air.
Vanessa, it seems every lemon in life you’ve been confronted with is just another opportunity to make lemonade. Your van is impressively designed to meet everything you need. Live, be well & stay safe!
So true thanks
Love how Vanessa uses thrift store shirts & skirts to add design to boring or otherwise cluttery looking boxes & bins.
Yes! It is VERY clever! Thanks for watching ❤️
@@BlueWonderLady your the van Interior Designer 🌺
That would be a fun show - Van Makeovers!
May God continue to bless and keep you! Fascinating story! A huge thanks to your supporters for getting you on your fantastic journey!
What a blessing!! You have used lemons and turned them to lemonade!! God is so good!!
Ain’t nothing wrong with lemonade 😅
@@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY lemons are so good for us.. lol.. amen❤
Just reflects your jolly nature, you have done a great job!
I am noticing your big Holy Bible! I am almost 71 years old and remember our family having one just like it when I was a young child. Praise God!
I am so glad that you have found this unique way of living!
Me too I love it
@@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY I'm watching again, your van is the most inventive of all I've seen!
The Host was everything! so sweet! and Vanessa is a Genius! and so Inspirational. I really enjoyed this video so much fun. Thanks! For sharing ❤
Thank you, Cocoo! That feels so great to hear. ❤️🙏
Thank you
You ARE a genius! Today I began to change my cargo van from an empty vessel to a travel van for me, Kelly (black lab), and two tabby cats Bella and Baby. The short story: I came to realize that in today's economy, the only way I could vacation (and perhaps to have a roof over my head if things stay the same) was to make some life changes. And tonight I watched your video. You do have a wonderful spirit. Your story has given me the boost I needed to really dive into the redo. Thanks!!!!
That is absolutely fantastic! You have empowered yourself to live your best life. AWESOME!
Very positive kind strong person ❤️
Vanessa you have me laughing so much. I watch these van life videos for years. Your video is so inspiring and so fun to watch.
I'm glad you have made it to van life from the empty building. I just have such great appreciation for those who have helped you. Take care.
Thank you
Gurl Your a Blessings to so many who think they cannot do for themselves, and the Power of God is in You my dear Sister!!
I love this. You see a lot of these videos, but this is outrageous!!! Love it!!! 🙏 💖 😊
I followed her throughout her build she's done an amazing job! She has such a great sense of humor and seems to be such an amazing lady. ❤️👍
Yes! Thanks for watching ❤️😁
Thanks honey
Bless your Heart 💓

Yes he is
Love her home..it's not just a van.
So true!
Very impressive, smart, sweet and lovely woman.
I'm tall, and I also agree with sleeping on the floor of my van. It also makes me feel safe. And it's quite!! I like the toilet method!!
Wow! What a fantastic, touching introduction. I love the positive energy she has harnessed from her past experience and turned it to good.
Hello Highlight of the Day, Thank you so much for your encouraging comment, and for watching! (You can see the rest of her story by using the links in the description.) ❤️
