- Carpe Diem - Seize the day.
While every day might not be good, there is always something good in every day. Life is filled with adventures and experiences. Life is about living. Find what drives you. Find what motivates you to get up every morning. Make every last second count.
"What am I going to do in an old age home? Sit and wait to die? Or should I have a purpose in life? I have a reason to get up in the morning." - Maggie Fourie

She sees the roses not the graves!😙 What a young , vivacious 75 , Maggie is!
Such a great note
@@mohamedelfatih9826 thanks 🌸
This lady is so amazing! She has such a love for life, so will probably live beyond everyone. What an amazing love for animals.
💚
Here lies Maggie, finally still. Just absolutely love this woman. She puts me to shame at 54, don't have her energy! Lol! When you love yourself enough to embrace life to the max, giving to others, doing what you love the most...this is what life looks like. Keep going with that amazing love, passion and spirit Maggie. You truly are an inspiration. Thank you GR for captivating her spirit magically.
Thank you. I really struggled keeping up with her to film, she never stops. Such an inspiration.
Animals can sense that we love them. So poetic when she states they add fragrance to her life. Indeed she has farming in her genes and her soul.
💚
36000 steps in a day is no joke! Maggie is a total doll, the full package, the whole enchilada, a total biscuit. So much respect for Maggie and her viewpoint. I'm an expat, and this kind of movie awakens a deep longing to go back and live in a tiny dusty community back home surrounded by irreplaceable beauty.
So glad you enjoyed this video with Maggie. We wish you all the best wherever in the world you are now George. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I love this woman’s philosophy and humour. She is so very right. We all need purpose, we all need friends.♥️
Wow, so inspiring.. Im 51 and starting to be like her.. I may only be away for a couple of days..iam so excited to come home bec i miss my farm, my little mountain,,they are my slice of paradise.. I feel content. I thank God.
💚
This woman is singing my song. She is truly living life 🙏
We are so glad you liked the video. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
The energy and abundance of life in Maggie can almost be felt. I love your mindset … her love and respect for life … her animals, and giving them beauty even in death. I would love to see her roses and walk beside her as she remembers and names each one. My "dear ones" are buried in the backyard, under a macadamia nut tree. My little two year old grandson and I scurry over the leaves to find the nuts. We really are all connected. Beautiful. Thank you.
@Grace Bennion - what beautiful imagery you paint, of you and your grandson out under the tree, unconsciously reconnecting with those who are no longer with you. Maggie is a real inspiration - a power house of a woman with a heart SOOO big.
What a beautiful woman! I want to step through the screen into that gorgeous place, kiss on those sheep, absorb her positive energy and hear more from her wisdom. It thrills me to see how she is enjoying this season of her life and to know you two got to hang with her while you filmed this. Thank you for introducing us to her!
Linda - during the two days that we spent with Maggie, I kissed those baby lambs more times that I dare admit ;) Maggie is a real power house of energy and enthusiasm - she left us in her dust!
aaaaand another strong woman; great.
Living on a farm and being together with all these fur children around. Though farm work is quite hard to do, it gives back inner satisfaction and special silence.
Thank you.
Thanks Arno 💚 yes it does, and allows one to sleep so soundly at night.
Justine and Michael
Maggie is wonderful. We should all live life to the fullest as she does. I love her beautiful animals too. Thank you G.R. for another amazing video.
You are welcome. So glad you enjoyed watching her story. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Maggie is such a firecracker, an old term meaning she is full of life, so vibrant. What a joy your videos are to watch. Many blessings from a French Canadian expat in California
Liliane
Liliane - 'firecracker' is the PERFECT word to describe Maggie. Sending hugs from a cold and stormy South Africa xx

Every day, I eagerly look forward to another beautiful short film on life and the beautiful surprises it has in store for all of us. And each day Green Renaissance rewards me magnificently. " Wealth is in your heart. And the way you share it with others." Maggie I couldn't agree with you more. Love you/ Radha Nair
@Sarah P - And we love to hear from you, about what aspects of the film resonated most deeply with you, so please don't stop sharing your thoughts here with us. Hugs to you Radha x
@@ReflectionsofLife
Everything. The music ...the way it supports various aspects of her life , her unrestrained joy for living each moment to its fullest. You have superbly caught the effervescence of this person in an intangible way
Watching her irrepressible ways makes me feel good, makes me feel alive. /Radha Nair
So beautiful ~ thank you. Maggie on her tractor with pearl earrings nogal! Wonderful life principles❤❤❤❤
Lovely message, thank you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
What an awesome outlook to have on life. Inspirational lady and beautifully filmed.
Thanks Lindsay. She is a real firecracker of a woman. And her farm (OudeMuragie) is definately worth a visit. I hope that you're keeping well - it's Justine du Toit here, from Milnerton High days ;) xx
“I don’t want to be anywhere else...” Wow if you can say these words. You’re truly content.
I admire Maggie's enthusiasm and her outlook in life.⚘⚘⚘
Thank you for sharing ⚘
This video reminded me someone I knew long time ago. When I was studying in university, I had lecturer (his name Mindaugas Stakvilevičius) who was almost same age as this Lady. Once we asked him why he never sits down and always moves around. He told us he made a promise to himself when he was a child. While seeing old people sitting still without much life left in them he promised himself, if he reaches old age he will never sit down, or at least until he can still stand on his feet. And he kept that promise, as I never seen him sitting. Strange enough his memory was better than most of the students. You could tell him your phone number and he would remember it. And this is one of the most intelligent persons I ever knew in my life. Also one of not many who was highly respected among the students. He is 89 now. So I guess the secret of human longevity is staying as much active as possible. I wish him and this lady many more years and a good health.
@EV-OLUTION - Beautiful message about someone who sounds like a beautiful man. Thank you for sharing your memories here with us. We loved hearing this x
Who can dislike this :)))? So sad for them...
Delightful, encouraging and a force of nature! What a wonderful soul. Thank you

Maggie, such a beautiful soul! Thank you!
Thank you so much Alina! Glad you enjoyed her story. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
My routine is to eat breakfast and, then, watch a Green Renaissance video to jump start my day. They always put me in a reflective, grateful, and determined state of mind! Thank you.
We are so glad we can be part of your morning routine Tom, that our films can help you to start your day positively. 💚
What a fantastic lady! An inspiration for us all.
So happy you enjoyed the video, Wayne. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a beautiful & rich soul.
Maggie thank you so very much for sharing yourself with us.
You are so welcome
During a process I've developed called Contemplative Writing I realized something profound...the way of all things is to be stripped of all things. You come to life with nothing except your fine self, and you will leave with just as much. When a person can accept this, when we take it to heart, we are much happier for it, because your focus shifts to the enduring, awe-inspiring moments that I describe as Something Colored Beautiful. Thank you, Green Renaissance, and of course, MAGGIE, for decorating my day! 💚
Thank you for sharing these thoughts Paula. Very fitting. So glad Maggie's story beautified your day. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
"Wealth is what you have in your heart" and "That's Life" It just came to me that these videos don't come at the right moment. It's that I'm in the same flow as the folks in these videos. It's a constant flow together with all moments and I'm honored to flowing with it! ♻
What a beautiful journey in life!!! I hope atleast some of us hold close to our heart what is forever important- friends,family and our furry best friends.
Wow, one of your best. Beautifully spoken, so wise. Just wonderful
Wow, thank you! Maggie is such an inspiration especially at her age. I really struggled to keep up. Thanks for watching
This lady is an angel with kindness and love. She is always energetic and really optimistic about living her life. I suppose her strong vitality would influence someone. This is her character, still full of optimism. She is absolutely enjoying every moment and do the best she can. The motto of her is happy and grateful to enjoy her life. She is not easy to do, as her age. I want to be like her. Always thankful and comfortable for all the things that happen in my life. All the people around the world need a more positive attitude and love.
💚
How wonderful!!!!
Such an amazing woman with an amazing life
Wonderfull lady!! I want to grow old like her and I am already doing my best now for the world and for me!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Life is not all about money. It's the contentment of enjoying your simple life. The reason to wake up in the morning and to do what you love to do that makes you happy no matter how simple it is. Recognizing your purpose driven life of knowing the difference of simplicity and contentment versus the life of modern society with all the fast phase of latest technologies
What a wonderful woman, she has more strenght than I have and I am only 48!! She is so inspiring I wish I was like her . Maybe she is so happy because she lives in the place of her dreams and is surrounded by the things she most likes: animals. Long life to such an inspiring woman and thanks for this and all your videos♥️

this film is a work of art, and the scenery is to die for.the message to keep on going as far, and for long as you can go is very strong....but I can't stop thinking about the beautiful lambs.....will they eventually end up as someone's 'food'?
Loved this so much❤️
Thanks Nikki! We just couldn't keep up with Maggie - her energy and enthusiasm is mind blowing!
Aah Maggie, so nice to see you again, albeit virtually! All those times we stayed at the cottages - such happy memories
