This is NOT charity.  It's payment for the last few months of stress relief,  garden and home inspiration,  and the motivation to move my life towards the nature- based existence I've always wanted,  but didn't know how to achieve.  You give far more than you'll ever receive.

I live in the US. I left home at  age 18 as I had abusive and poor parents.
I joined the military to earn a paycheck, get healthcare I desperately needed, and get a college education.  And I did it all myself.
I totally respect you for not doing a go fund me. I personally take this as a form of begging and as someone who has worked for everything in life I respect you for this absolute right decision!
As a woman that does everything herself I applaud you !
You will get this done on your terms and persevere!

You can always tell when Collette means business . She sits in the kitchen and pauses. Then there is the pause and the 'let me explain' 😊❤

I’m going nowhere Colette I’ve followed you for years and you have totally inspired me. You have been through a tough time losing your trees and all the time without power no matter how well you coped be gentle with yourself sending Blessings from Scotland xx

I get you, I think there are many of us hiding in plain sight. I don't need to tell you that what you are doing is special,  needed and looked forward to by many. Love you Colette.  Sending hugs!

I come from the U.S. and I don’t know you personally but I love the person that you are. Take care. Be well❤️

Finding a gardener who has a botanical background, who has the energy and an innate sense of what you want even without your having to explain every detail to them is worth his/her weight in gold.   My mother found such a gardening helper when she was in her later age.  She was so grateful.  We would often pay him 30% more than what he asked in terms of payment.

For years I’ve followed and adored you. Keep being the organic authentic self that inspires so many of us to keep going and growing❤️

Collette, you really don’t have to explain yourself …. but thank you for sharing that. I’ve had to accept I physically cannot manage my garden and have to pay someone to come in and it upsets me. I’m so pleased you have found a trusted friend to work alongside you x
If we all like and share your channel I’m sure it will help …

Colette,  you do not have to explain.  You need to go about taking care of your woodlands the way that is best for you. I, too, am an independent woman. It is very understandable that you need to approach this restoration of your land on your own terms. It's so nice to see the signs of spring and to hear the birdsong.  I always love to here your windchimes blowing in the breeze.  Blessings to you and Patsy. Take care. ❤

I am an indepent woman, too.
I earned my money working, and I am retired now. I live alone, without family, but with chickens and other animals.
I understand you.🎉

The earth is secret🎉

I enjoy your videos.
They make me so happy.
Blessings❤

Dear Colette, I am so happy you now have a kindred soul to work alongside you at Bealtaine.  I very much appreciate how you feel about all of it, and I think I would choose the same response and action if it were me.  Bealtaine is more than a project, it is sacred and alive, and precious.
Blessings to you, your colleague, and all at Bealtaine! 💙💚

You're a legend.  Thank you for your integrity,  honesty and courage. And for feeding our Souls all these years x

Hi Colette, it feels very appropriate that your proceeds from your channel goes towards paying someone to help you. ❤

I can totally understand you not wanting a Go Fund Me page. I did actually think when I saw a few of us had suggested it that it wouldn't sit right with you. I admire and respect you so much for the work you have done and continue to do at Bealtaine Cottage and the woods. You truly are incredible 🥰🥰

You are you, and we love you. No explanation needed. I wish I could help, I think we all just want to ease your loss a little. I am thankful you have help from a woman who you can trust  and who cares as much as you do. Prayers to you, Patsy and the sacred land that holds you safe.

You have a very special ecosystem there physically and spiritually so you do need to protect it 💞

Dearest Colette🌞your channel brings me joy and peace - thank you for sharing your journey❤

You have earned it allowing us in your home and your life

Collette I Love 💕 You just the way you are! ! !
