[Music] thank you [Music]
surely something else too this afternoon she had noticed that one of the floor tiles in the
kitchen was sticking up tile edges had always protruded here and there [Music]
it is the beautiful overcast autumn day the perfect morning to stay in
bed for an extra 15 minutes and sip some peppermint tea [Music]

thank you

[Music] slowly very often but today was different and I enjoyed every moment of
it and even got to listen to an audiobook I have to admit the weather has reflected my
mood and I'm feeling peaceful a little tired and slower than usual pretty typical for the
colder months I think so I decided to work on a much anticipated Autumn recipe I also plan
to spend the rest of the day working on some new art projects as I've relocated my artist studio
and I'm attempting to reopen my gift shop today hopefully all goes as planned [Music]
thank you

I thought I'd share something in this video in hopes to spark a conversation and that is
one about seeking quality friendships though I'm quite connected in my community and enjoy
quiet socializing I only really have a couple close friends this has always suited me though
everyone is different over the years of navigating Human Relationships I felt that some friendships
have solid foundations of love and respect others grow out of less healthy root systems
at least in my experience I asked what friendship challenges you have faced throughout the years
on Instagram and many of you shared a dislike of relationships that are built upon constant
gossip negativity bullying or other practices that bring you down and suck away your energy
it's a good reminder for all of us especially this Autumn when we find ourselves cozied up at home
to be wary of the words we use around the people we care about I truly think words have power to
shape our perceptions of ourselves in the world we are what we think and speak after all [Music]
thank you foreign [Music]

guys you need to try it it's so good if you make poached pears this Autumn please let me
know what your experience was think this is the most delicious recipe I've tried
in forever anyway I'm sending you so much love and let's go take a walk in the woods
thank you

as I've grown and done my best to listen to my soul and develop a more positive mindset I admit
I have lost friendships often we've Grown Apart through having less in common and wanting to be
very different types of people this is a natural thing to happen as we change and grow but it can
be hard to accept as I've gotten older I've been much less interested in being critical of others
pessimistic and hard on myself and I no longer gravitate towards friendships defined by these
things I've started to treat my emotional energy as a sacred Force I want to put towards simply
enjoying the time I have left and spending it with people who are just kind I guess
people who Inspire and make me feel safe it's taken a long time to find those friendships
and it has forced me to become comfortable with being on my own sometimes I've had to
be honest with myself and humble as I have a tendency to stand in my own
way as we all do I think happily I found my belonging it just took time foreign [Music]
[Music]
so as I wait with anticipation for the leaves to begin falling from the Aspens and Willows maybe
it's time to consider what you've been holding on to that isn't serving you anymore and Let It Go
Autumn asks us to become thoughtful in that way it is a mystical season
where things long hidden are brought to the light especially within ourselves
[Music]
foreign I have spent the last couple hours just hanging up my more autumnal themed watercolors
around the house and I didn't remember how many kind of more Autumn themed art pieces I had made
decorating for the season can be that simple it could just be putting up some leaves on the
Windows updating my Autumn wreath putting some pine cones here and there for decoration it has
been so lovely this season to choose Simplicity overall else and it has benefited me in many ways
it is interesting as well how when you focus on Simplicity you notice so many more opportunities
for decorating than you may have before for example there was this free poster at my bookstore
inspired by a new book that just came out called The Hidden World of gnomes and so I thought I just
had to save it and bring it home and decorate with it I thought it was just such a sweet piece of art
anyway I hope you all have a absolutely wonderful day and you stay warm if it's cold rain of your
ads that you can enjoy the seasons and allow nature to teach you whatever it is that you
need to learn I think there's a lot of things I needed to learn this season and it has been a so
far very thoughtful very beneficial and fulfilling time so I finished recording and then I realized
that I had forgotten something very important and that was that I have reopened my Etsy Shop I've
had it closed for about a month and I was working on a lot of new art pieces and some new projects
and I'm happy to say Cottage boxes are back in stock so many new bookmark designs and I have
kind of revamped the entire store my Etsy Shop is what has kept this channel going throughout
the years and I really appreciate your support there is never any obligation but I just want
to let you know that there were new art pieces new fairy art autumnal art there's all sorts of things
maybe you'll take the time to check it out but of course there's never any application thank you so
much for your support of my work as an artist and making music videos it means the world and I'm so
grateful I can be here with you today so sending you so much love and I will see you soon goodbye
