    why I chose quiet cottage life
    Simplicity, peace, quiet, slow living, transforming the ordinary… these are all words that speak to me, something I have pursued throughout the years, having slowly found a lifestyle that works for me. While I share how I love to live, I believe the answer to your best life shouldn’t be outlined by anyone else. All our lives as so different, we each carry burdens, blessings, challenges, and privileges that help or hinder our journey. It’s our story, imperfect and messy, but completely our own. No one can understand what is best but you. For me, simple living refers to consuming less and valuing more, living below my means and balancing giving and receiving. Reusing, loving, and sharing compassion. Beyond that, the pages are blank, ready for you to fill them with the details of your sacred life.

    Sending you all my love ❤️ it’s been a week of a lot of paperwork as we officially purchase our new home. I have found myself so anxious at times - so many questions and things to consider - and going outdoors and searching for beauty with my camera has made such a difference. So therapeutic! Have a wonderful week! See you soon.

    Even though my husband and I live in the suburbs of a large city, I try to cultivate this as much as I can. We turned half our back yard into a garden, I do a lot of crafting, from sewing to crocheting, we spend time at a local nature preserve just wandering through the trees, and sometimes I just sit and listen to the quiet. Last summer I could hear an owl hooting somewhere nearby, the sound just barely audible through the dark. I grew up out in the country, and listening to that owl made me smile.

    So many phrases you said in this video make one stop and think.
    "To live simply is to live below your means"... if people - especially young people, sooner rather than later - could only grasp how important that is! We "want" so much, thinking that acquiring the subjects of our wants will make us happy. They almost never do! So many comments in your channel show how many people yearn for the simple life you espouse and portray... if only we could grasp that every decision we make brings us closer to a fulfilling, simple life - or it takes us farther away. Many - if not most - of our purchasing decisions are based on the power of culture and advertising, rather than the yearning of our soul. It took me so many years to get to this place of inner peace, but it is what I wish for everyone who lives the quiet, simple and profound beauty of your channel, Paola. Many blessings to you.🌱

My father has passed, my mother is in assisted living...but I'm now in the process of selling my home and moving to their until...well you know. Where I want to live is a couple hours away so that's not practical right now.
    In the meantime, I'll keep planning and preparing. I'll make the best of my childhood home..I guess. Somehow making into my simple homey lifestyle and not my mother's upscale preferences.
    Someday soon I will be going to the woods.

    I started watching your channel when you first started making videos. I was in college, struggling with being a straight A student that felt she had no time for joy and pleasure. I would sometimes sit and cry, watching your videos and hearing their truth but feeling I could only on very rare occasions embody what I knew was true and good for me. I was burnt out. In May I graduated college and within a few days I moved a little over 8 hours away from home to start my new life, and boy has it been a wild ride since then. Many highs, many many lows. Alas, I brought my problems with me and went from burn out in school to burn out in full time job. Its just been over the last couple weeks I have been realizing how much I need to slow down and enjoy life. I always thought "once i move everything will be okay". Of course that hasnt been the case. New problems have arisen, one after another. Life always reminds me how much I need to slow down, usually I realize on my own too late. I currently am going back and watching your videos because since the move back in May I have felt I barely have had time for true relaxation. Now i have covid-19 (again), and am in bed embroidering and catching up on your videos. Your videos have always brought my heart so much warmth and I am so grateful for them, even if at times they were hard for me to watch. Things feel different this time though. I feel a light, knowing I can truly start living the life I want in my current situation. I have been cultivating it for months now and need to stop and smell the roses. Your videos are yet again reminding me to do so. Thank you.

Also, even though I am caught up with everything I need to do, I still feel a tinge of guilt and I won't venture out because my hubby is still at work and does not have the same freedom. So your videos fill the need to got out and they are so refreshing to my spirit.

    Regarding despair... I have an addendum to your wise observation that despair is a choice. From what I understand, despair can also be not a choice. In an experience I had recently, I saw that I did not choose it but when it came to me I chose to take care of myself so that I could experience love and joy. Despair will come to me again and when it does I will see it as a message to embrace the change it's telling me to make in my life to return to love. 🧜‍♀️💞

I love how you said “ in the midst of darkness and goodness and somewhere in between trying to find a peaceful contentment.” This perfectly describes how I feel at times. Also I too believe despair is a choice. Though you cannot runaway from feelings of sadness or hopelessness you can choose to accept how you feel and have the courage to move forward in your life. Thank you Paola for another wonderful video and take care.😉

    Hi Paola, that was a cute Lily the cat! It was so lovely seeing Aiger, Mr. Darcy, and also Lily running happily welcoming the spring. It was rainy midnight in Jakarta as I was watching your video with my tea and my cat on my lap purring. I love gardening and planting. Since I've seen your videos, I give more respect to wild tiny flowers now. Yesterday I picked up some wild flowers on the street in front my house to decorate my dining table. There are some different kinds of them growing wildly on the street, I'm planning to move them on planting pots to decorate my porch, hopefully they could grow well in pots. Planting or gardaning is quite tiring and take a lot of our energy yet it is so healthy for our mind, body, and soul. I'm starting to grow chilly nextweek hopefully. Thank you Paola for always sharing beautiful inspirations on your videos, wish you a great spring coming and please have Lily again on your next video! 🌿🌷🌼😻🙏
    ~Love from Jakarta, Indonesia

    Your videos align with my spirit. I am so thankful for them and for you, such a beautiful human.
    I counsel my young adult children frequently to nurture themselves and give attention and curiosity to their spirits before anything else. The world will ravage if you do not do this. I know all too well.
    It is a magnificent thing to see you love yourself so fully, and honour your uniqueness.
    Thank you, always. xx

    Thank you for this. You helped to calm me when I was going through a tough time this winter, while my husband was very sick in hospital for several months. I now have to wait for him to be around to play these videos as he also finds you very calming. We are both outdoor loving folk, running a dairy farm in England. Our live revolves around the seasons and we constantly work with nature. There is nothing more beautiful than the new growth in the spring; seeing the geese come back to our lake; enjoying the longer days and the new warmth in the sun. Thank you x

    Your comment about despair reminds me of something I learned while reading about meditation - that our feelings don’t require a response or reaction, that we can choose to respond or not. During meditation we observe thoughts that arise, but we let them go and return to our breath. I want to be able to do the same thing with feelings - observe when they arise, but then be able to let them go if they are not serving me. Thanks for the thoughtful and beautiful video!

    Started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago, have to say I get deep feeling of peace and harmony from watching your content. Not something I thought I would connect with at all but you brief clips kind of give me calm and make me reflect on the way I live my life. Thank you for your videos! ☘☘🌳

    I think these days & times are stressful for so many. People displaced by new careers, searching for peace (inside & out), beginning new lives or leaving old ones behind, people fearful for their next meal, others listening to doomsayers & worrying the sky is falling, disease, shortages & natural disasters. All we can do is find solace in nature and with one another. May you find peace & love in your new home.

It’s always delightful to see your animals make an appearance and I love the addition of your neighbor’s cat so much! It’s a new moon today which signifies new beginnings. Wishing you a continued peaceful and happy existence as you explore your new surroundings and express your creativity in your new space.

    Congratulations on purchasing your home. You are wise beyond your years. I have also found peace in the forest. I live in Northern California among the giant redwoods. I have only been here a year and wish I had moved here many years before. It has improved my mental, spiritual and physical health. I take walks with my little dog 3 times daily and enjoy the carpets of daisies growing wild, along with the violets and wild chamomile. I am enjoying your videos and your journey.
