    I embarked on the journey to turn our abandoned land into a green haven, building my own home, living off grid and becoming self-sufficient in terms of food and energy. The goal for these first years was to create a place more in balance with planet earth, to grow my own food and life a more self sufficient life 💛🌱🌸

    My husband and I bought a beautiful home in the country just before Covid hit here in Canada, with the dreams to transpose it to garden spaces of our dreams. Most suddenly, unexpectedly my husband passed away three months ago and I find myself asking what am I to do without his presence and his support. I do turn to strenth of women like you to give me strength, inspiration and motivation. My journey journey without him has changed and i have to find a way to reinvent myself, but I want to continue the dream of moving forward with plans for this country home in his honour. Its challenging, and most times heartbreaking. Your Journey inspires me so. Blessings to you and all that you do.

    I never write comments but here is something I want to say and hope that you’ll read it, Eugenia. Your shared experience gave me the inspiration and courage to move to a house in the forest and start my own offgrid journey. A single mom with two kids. It’s been the happiest time of my life and I’ll be forever grateful to you - a stranger, who you will never know is telling you that with your work and resilience you’re changing lives. Stay bold and uplifted. It’s just a phase you’re going through.

    Eugenia, I love watching your videos. They touch my very soul, somehow. Although I never dreamed of living off the grid, planting and living off of what I plant, my life went completely in another direction. I served in the military and one of my assignments was in the Lajes Air Base, in the Azores - which to this day is among my favorite places that I have lived. I took an interest in your story, namely because of your location in Portugal, and the grit by which you and Pepe built your tiny house and your storage area - and came so far with those accommodations. The simplicity appeals to me, and being able to see and enjoy the work that one puts into their daily lives has always been very fulfilling to me. All those last words simply mean all of your efforts (put into the gardening and harvesting healthy foods to sustain you both) is not wasted on efforts with "no return". Then going even further by sharing you gardening experience and the recipes you have created yourself with us through your cook books etc, appears to me to be "life energy and time" not wasted. You can look at what you've done and been able to do so many things "with what you've done" for your benefit and for ours. I never minded hard work with my hands and my back, but truly it was because it was effort "not wasted" and something good was "created". So much of time today in a person's life (a very general statement, not meant to insult any of my fellow viewers lives...) seems to be non productive - and seems like it is time wasted. By the time we are old enough to realize that, we are too old to do much of anything that requires hard work that would result in such fulfillment. I only wish that I could be there as "moral support" for your strained emotional state - and "back support" for your exhausted physical condition. So with this note, I am determined to try and accomplish "some kind of support" that you may get from these words. I have my fingers crossed for you and Pepe! I am in awe of you both building your home and the plans and hard work it has demanded of you. I, as I am sure my fellow viewers are as well, rooting for you and Pepe and will continue to be with you in spirit and any other way we can help to see your "dreams" fulfilled. Love to you both and bless your dreams and accomplishments.

    I feel you so much! We have been renovating and trying to transform old cowpatches on the Azores and it has been *so hard* and yet everyone always thinks our life is so perfect. Romanticing it only works to a certain degree. Eventually you break. It broke both of us on every single level. Now we took half a year off of it all and now slowly I start to have the will to continue again. So I feel you in your pain, I truly do. If you ever need to talk to someone who has been in the same position, feel free to reach out. It is a lonely journey and barely anyone understands

    The beauty you share through very skilled camera work and story telling is invaluable Eugenia, even if it wasn’t ever part of your calculated return on investment. The vibration of what you two have created here reach far beyond what is possible for you to perceive. You always share just the right amount of real life woes to remind us that it isn’t all a highlight reel, while still maintaining heaps of inspiration to us all and an overall positive channel that brings joy and comfort. As a small woman I completely get the frustration of having a physical limit-but even bigger dreams! It may be time to consider a creative approach to growing some community around your channel IRL, like taking on permaculture or construction live/work volunteers :) Because working a big piece of land with only two people, and maintaining regular jobs for income, is no simple task (as you have made clear). Your channel has been my absolute favorite since you started posting, actually the first thing I really liked on CZcams and showed another more beautiful way to use the platform. I appreciate all the work you have put in to sharing your journey. Wishing you 4 all the very best and look forward to your return if and when you choose ❤

Trying to do too much and being disappointed when my body can’t handle it. Starting a homestead or farm by yourself and from nothing is too much. I have been working for 3 years and still am disappointed with my progress. Thank you for saying what you did! Maybe I can allow myself to let go of some of the things and rest. I wish you all the best!

We survive and are soooo strong but takes great self reflection and honesty to get to a place of healing and time for your self. I'm so proud of you that you are doing this at your young age. I say this because i feel your words are the thread of my life going going going, work work work at my age of 64. And just now this year I left my job to choose another path. My path...with no judgement ...releasing 'The Dream State" of my life to live in truly the present of my feelings. It's almost like going back to being a little girl when I felt so free and easy and happy for the day. So to you Eugenia I say...God Bless your time. Nurture yourself and Pepe and your animals. But most of all give yourself time to just be YOU. YOU TIME! xo with love, Madelyn

    Have a peaceful rest! My garden in Muskoka, ON, Canada is also a great deal of work. Our soil is sand and must be amended each year, but I keep working on it, and it is now an enjoyable and peaceful place, producing much of our food in season and preserved for winter, which is quite a long winter here. But the lilacs are blooming, the bees are buzzing, and seedlings are growing; I can now begin to enjoy everything. This is our retirement home, and I have always gardened, but never have I put so much effort into growing our food. You have done so much to transform your land to usable space and I understand the effort. May it bring you great joy this year. Thank you for your lovely videos.

    What a beautiful message for this wonderful video, Eugenia! Those of us that have gone through life-altering challenges in life and came out stronger because of them, we certainly understand your message loud and clear. For me, it was late-stage 3 cancer. And for those of us who are now stronger, we face new challenges, one of them being to tolerate the weakness of others and hope they can hear the messages we're sending to them, although I'm not convinced they do so much, not to the same depths as we understand. It's like you have to actually experience the tough times in order to become tougher. For that, I'm truly thankful.
    My heart goes out to Lolita because animals can't understand. They truly are victims when bad things happen to them. She's in the best of hands and because of it will come through beautifully. 🙏Prayers for Lolita.🙏

    It's so brave of you to make this video. I have also been going through a similar journey and I also resonate with your experience as a child. Ironically I think it is because of our childhood experiences that we are trying to get away and build a healthier and more wholesome home - because we did a lot of soul searching, and we are, dare I say, Hyper independent, which is a strength, but it also can be a big handicap, because as you mentioned, we find it hard to reach out to other people for help. It's important to see that such journeys can fail, and that I am not the only one. There isn't something wrong with me, I am just trying to do something difficult and it takes multiple attempts and different approaches, and to learn many lessons - this is my life.

    Bought 12 acres in southern Vermont before Covid hit. I’m 63 now. Been on the land three years in a temporary shelter/cabin while building house with my husband who is a builder/carpenter. I am a baker two days a week. The rest of my time I’m in the garden. This place was all woods and trees. It’s been like this for 3 years now. I am fortunate to have two women up the road that I connect with on a regular basis and they are also trying to do the same thing and grow most of their own food and self sustain. Winters are hard on my social personality as it snows heavy up here and I sometimes feel like I’m on the moon. I miss cars and I miss hearing children play and waving to people who are walking by. I couldn’t and wouldn’t want to live up here in this silence by myself. Thank you for your video it is true there are really good times where I can’t believe how happy I am and there are times of such desolation that I really want to get in the car and drive away, but I think these motions of life happen everywhere I think it’s very important to say that. I think the one thing I learned from being in silence is enjoying my own company that when the birds are around the computer is off, there’s no noise at all and my hands are in the Earth is when I feel the most complete, so I think there is somethingthat we lost in the industrialization of so many of our needs. I’d like to say the happiest moments are succeeding with the use of very little making things work with what you have I think that’s very rewarding. I think that challenge is where I find the most reward

The honesty and ability to face things squarely is I think the by- product of your grit and daily showing up. Please rest up and give your bodies the much needed time to recover.

    I really relate to your experience - I make CZcams videos in a similar spirit as you and just finished a huge project of renovating my first little "tiny home" - how you described how you have felt having to put yourself last while tending to the hundreds of things that you have to do and how it affects your whole well being after a while, that was also me. I really hope you can take the time and space you need to tend to your self! We also have foxtail grass here and it is the absolute worst!! I am so sorry for your precious kitty - may she heal rapidly! Sending love from my little corner of the world to yours kindred spirit friend

      They're staying where they are. It's more about the plans and dreams they had and how hard building a life like theirs can be. She chooses to not show the negative side mist of the time. They may have thought their regular size house would be done by now. And I think the overall isolation can be hard at times, especially in time of need. That's what it's about imo

    • @FiammaTortoli

      ​@@jacquibarhouch8104 I don't think so. I think that the building of this house so big with so much cement, plastic, engineering complexity for two people is too much. This project is too big to be built with their only own strength. And in my opinion is so far from Eugenia's way of thinking, with her idea of life and sustainability. They put all of their energies on this house, but this not her project. Or perhaps she

    • @FiammaTortoli

    Thank you so much for your honesty and vulnerability! It's been a pleasure watching your journey over the years. In terms of questions, I'm wondering given what you now know about the process of building your own home and becoming self-sufficient is there anything you would do differently or plan to change/do differently moving forward? Also, given the demands of your garden(s) and home build, how will you make sure to put yourself and your care first so that you don't burn out?
    I find your journey so inspiring and am grateful for your willingness to share. Wishing you all great health and a speedy recovery! ❤

    Eugenia your hard work will show to your liking some day. Right now the amount of work you and your husband have put in to what you have is nothing short of amazing. You probably feel drained because of your injury as when a person has pain from an injury, it is difficult to manage at a level your brain is telling your body to do. You see what needs to be done however you need to heal fully before taking on the challenges of everything. Please God with plenty of rest and maybe in time reaching out for help you will do okay. You are a strong beautiful soul and you can do anything you put your mind to but right now getting the injury fully healed is what may help. Also I pray for you and sweet Lolita to get better real soon. You may not have physical help in person but you surely have support from your viewers. You are an inspiration. Do what you can only when you can. Please take care and as always I look forward to your next video…..Lisa 🤗🙏💓

    It's important for us to not allow our goals and dreams to become our prisons. And in my experience, a lot of that is learning to honor our bodies and the parts of our souls that speak to us about the need for rest and balance. Our goals are so beautiful, but the timelines we imagine for ourselves are just that ... a projection of what we imagine time will be like in the future, and for some reason, as humans, we don't always foresee or factor in the slow moments and necessity for down time which can be our greatest teachers. Eugenia, you show us all so much about the beauty of slowing down in your videos, so please take your time to enjoy that and let it feed you. You already have such a beautiful home and garden so I wish you the time to savor what already is in the land of the heart and the sweet dreams of summer. Xo. And sending love and healing thoughts to Lolita as well.
