    Am so thankful Dawn “pushed” you to start your own channel. I always looked forward to the Sunday videos with your sister. Blessings!~

    Diana, I was blessed to be introduced to Dawn and minimalism through her CZcams channel, but the bonus for me has been to be introduced to YOU! I love your heart for God and your messages are so meaningful to me. Many blessings to you and Princeton and your sweet family. You and Dawn are a wonderful team and bring so much joy to me through watching your videos.

    I agree, there's something so special about growing up on a farm. We did Christmas eve at my grandparents. I always loved it! They had 11 kids and when we all got together the house was busting at the seams. It was so wonderful.

    Minnesota girl here, my daddy made an ice skating rink for my sister and I as well. He filled the garden with water and used railroad ties to block it in and then tied a rope end to end for me to hold onto and learn to skate across. By 2nd grade I was driving the snow mobile and pulling my cousins in the big sled behind. I went ice fishing and speared fish too! Minnesota, a great place to visit in the summer :P Now I giggle at the Texans wearing parkas in 58 degree weather.

    Diana, what a wonderful journey it has been. Peggy was brought into your life for so many reasons. Your life with Princeton , the children and your new channel shows that God does have a plan for you to continue to share your ministry.
    Thank you for sharing this journey with us.

    I grew up Catholic as well, as did the hubby. We haven’t attended church regularly in many years. I enjoy nondenominational but he doesn’t care for the rock show. I am going to go back and watch all you have posted. You are very motivational and make me want to try again.
