  • Wow I teared up😢. What a life well lived and what a good soul. Loved the simple design and her no nonsense planning and joy of life. She is such an inspiration. You guys always find such wonderful people to document. This channel is such a blessing and inspiration! 🙏 Thank you❤
  • @a.l.a.7847
    LOVE what she says about having her body and soul in the same place whenever she dies... so self-aware and death-positive!
  • @nightmary
    I love Barbara and her tiny home. What an incredibly interesting woman - someone I'd love to sit down and talk to for hours. My favorite line, "because eventually Barbara wants shade." Love her sense of humor and zest for life.
  • @vdruskas
    Barbara, planned the work & worked the plan and is living her happy way. 💗💗Goals
  • @vballady
    Excellent tour of Barbara's tiny house, self-narrated, very informative and entertaining. She's certainly had an amazing life. 😊💞✌
  • @barbwatkins3676
    Barbara's home is amazing. Apart from being so practical, it's her incredible life journey on display. What a wonderful outlook on life itself. I have never cried watching any tiny home video before but I ended up so interested in Barbara's story, the home became almost secondary. Such a beautiful woman. 🦋
  • @FionaEm
    What a lovely lady 😊 I wish her many more years of happiness in her desert tiny home.
  • @justmaria5806
    Fearless, courageous, a natural leader and teacher, a gentle woman, inspiring...... should I go on? I could you know.......
  • @lizzieb6311
    What a delightful woman! I would so love to sit with her and hear all about her adventures. She is a true ADVENTURER. What a lovely neighbor Barbara would be. Her home is well planned and I love that it represents who she is and where she’s been. Thank you Barabara! ♥♥😂
  • @ILOLnumber1
    Barbara is one cool lady! So self-aware, adaptable, resourceful, and such a great positive attitude towards life and even death! She's a rare find! ❤
  • @MsDilwitit
    I could listen to her talk for hours, what a wealth of experience and knowledge. Would love a revisit when her patio is done!
  • She is impossible not to admire and love. Obviously the house is lovely, well thought out and practical (she's lived in it for a decade!) But she is also this very interesting lesson in a life well lived. She's done a lot, seen a lot, embraces who she is and appreciates the wonders of nature and joy of a small space to make and call one's own.
  • You are so precious and so is your beautiful home. Thank you so much for inviting me in.
  • @JT-tt9vj
    LOVE her tiny house layout...and LOVE her spirit. Beautiful!
  • @walkinlight3380
    What a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing your life and home with us beautiful lady!
  • @GG-qy2wy
    Barbara is a delightful lady with such a sweet spirit. So positive, organized and loving her life. Her Stella is so cozy, everything in it's place, and so welcoming. I love her large bathroom, and especially her first floor bedroom. Best wishes in everything, Barbara. 🕊🌹
  • @3dchick
    This woman is my hero and role model! ❤❤❤
  • @bellaluce7088
    Yet another "tiny house tour" from Alexis & Christian that's actually/also an inspiring short film! I feel like I just met a new hero in Barbara. ❤ "...I want my body and soul to be in the same place." May we all find the vision, will, and resourcefulness to live our dreams like she has!
