A magical video as always. Have you heard of the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery called Kintsugi? They make the repair using a lacquer mixed with gold powder thereby celebrating the break rather than attempting to hide it. I think there is something so powerful and beautiful about that. If we could do that with ourselves wouldn't it be transformative. Blessings from Wales

But don't get me wrong, I also LOVE Christmas (& it's my birthday month) so I am very much looking forward to your upcoming videos ✨😊

As a 58 yr old women living with lymphoma, I understand how you feel. I appreciate your time and effort that goes into making videos.....beautiful ones at that. Your little candle holder is charming. Cracks add character ;) Every day is a blessing! Thank you.

Oh Desi...I'm crying as I write this. First of all, you are enough just as you are so never compare yourself to others. Listening to your analogy of the mug and our brokenness touched me so deeply. I feel very broken in this season of my life and many days are a struggle. Thank you so much for reminding me to love and care for myself. You are such a sweet and beautiful soul and your videos never fail to bring me joy. ❤

That skit with Jared was so adorable! Also, I’m glad you put the mug back together and celebrated its brokenness, just like the Japanese with the gold kintsugi. It is more beautiful now! This video was a work of art. We appreciate you!! 🍂🍁❤

Fav part: you and Jared as Laurie and Jo! It was so cute!

As a November baby, I appreciate you romanticising this month. I also appreciate that you take your time with your content, it shows!! There’s so many creators out there churning out high consumption/hauls & it can feel overwhelming. I love that you thrift & go to antique stores & that you focus more on living in the moment & not on what to buy next. It’s such a safe place to come & relax & although I’ve often been inspired to buy a book you’re reading or a candle (or a sweatshirt 😉), I never feel pressured or inadequate if I don’t.

The candle holder story….I swear it was made just for me. Remember faster doesn’t equate to better. Good things come to those who wait, and we are willing to wait.

I came for the autumnal vibes, left in tears because of your beautiful, inspirational words. You are such a gift to us all. Thank you for this beautiful video!

As someone who has grown to love November and fill it with whodunnits and blankets and candles, this video was a dream ❤

"To be proud of yourself; to know you wouldn't be here right now if you hadn't been strong..." This is so healing for me. I started crying hearing that. I'm going through a rough mental patch right now because I'm realizing my body cannot do all the things I want to do and be as productive as others seem to be. I have been feeling guilty and useless.. But your words made me remember my worth, my strength. Three times in the past 15 years, I have contemplated suicide, but it was my strength that made me want to fight. Thank you, Desi, for reminding me of this truth.

I wasn’t expecting to cry this evening. I am now crying. I don’t think anything truly matches the emotions I feel while watching Desi’s videos

The commentary about still being valuable even when chipped and broken in places triggered the tears today. I’ve been on the healing journey after Covid as well with weird health issues and unusual diagnoses, and it’s been an ongoing struggle to get back to full strength. Your words of kindness to everyone else - and to yourself - are so appreciated. You truly have one of the sweetest hearts and it shows in your videos, so thank you. I remind my bestie all the time since we’ve both gone through life altering illness: “We did not get sick because we were weak; We survived because we are strong.” I write that in my journal as often as I need to hear it. Love you! 💕

I couldn't stop smiling when you recreated the Little Women scene, it was so genuine and lovely ! Thanks for always being this ray of joy and beauty. Take care :)

Omg i don’t think I’ve seen this much of Jared in a video before! Your relationship is so wholesome 🥺🧡 Also you’re doing just enough Desi! The content you put out is pure magic and I think we can all agree that we would rather you post content slower than to push yourself in unhealthy ways 🧡🧡🧡

Yes!! I adore November. It’s a time life slows down and I think about all the things I’m grateful for in my life. I bake pies, look for acorns with my young son, knit, craft…I love Christmas, but when it’s shoved at you in October, you’re kind of burnt out by the time December gets here, and it makes it less special. Slow down and enjoy what each season has to offer 💛 PS. I read Little Women 25 years ago and I’m still upset about Jo and Laurie 😆

Thank you for sharing your struggle with Lyme's disease! I teared up noticing how many in the comments have to deal with chronic illnesses, it lets me know I'm not alone. Illness can be very isolating. I think that's what attracts so many of us to slower living and the small joys in life as well as the large. I always try to appreciate November and Thanksgiving, it's still fall after all! Don't worry about uploading. Your work is such high quality in thought and presentation. Frequent uploaders aren't quite as artistically presented. I notice a difference, even in the one's I enjoy.

The last part was really moving and totally hit a soft spot in me. I have cancer and some days are harder than others, more painful, so sad that it would be so easy for me to just lay in bed and never do anything again. But exactly like you I remind myself that just because i can't have my life like it was before, just because sometimes i'm too tired or i need extra rest, doesn't mean i can't try and live my best life on my good days. And I will until i can! Let's be strong because we deserve a good, magical life ❤

Just wanted you to know how much your videos bring this old vintage girl joy! I’m 53 years old and I absolutely love what you create! My girls and I immerse ourselves in the seasons…especially Fall & winter, and your videos always give us ideas and inspiration. So aesthetic and beautiful. Thank you for all the inspiration over the years! ❤

Desi, I think this is my favorite video I’ve watched yet! (And I’ve watched A LOT of yours 😊). First of all, thank you for showing those moments of you and Jared together! That hill scene was just adorable. ❤ You are making such wonderful memories together and it honestly just reminds me that these are the things that really matter. Finding magic in the ordinary with those that we love and taking the time to remember all the reasons why we love them. Also, thank you for such a beautiful ending! Your encouraging words bring me to tears and you have such simple but powerful truths to share! I hope you never doubt your worth because your quantity of content might not be the same as others. Trust me, we all know the quality is amazing!! You are such a light to so many people and are loved more than you know! ❤❤❤

Just to let you know, yes you may not get videos out as often as others, but many of us are very excited to find a new video up and ready. And your videos are always such a joy to watch! So always take care of yourself first and don’t worry what other creators are doing. Your doing an amazing job. I will wait for your videos patiently and enjoy them as they come!

"Something being broken or weak does not deem it useless or of little value" during the part with the clay candle holder... omg. That made me so emotional 🩷

It's never about the amount of content. It's about You Just being You :) ❤

And thank you so much for your beautiful words at the end- we’re all so valuable, even if we are broken. It reminds me of Lilo & Stitch, when Stitch says this is his family, “little and broken, but still good.”

I love that you appreciate November for itself. I find it really annoying when everyone jumps directly from Halloween to Christmas. For me, November is a time for self reflection and self care and one of my favourite holidays, Thanksgiving. It is the most dark academia month ever!

As a November baby I've always LOVED November and while as a child I was just so excited for Christmas, the last few years I've loved savouring the Novemberness of the month.

Desi, you are not cracked and you are not broken, you are perfect, just the way you are, with a unique set of gifts given to you that only you can contribute to the world. If you do want any help at all with your KZread channel to speed things up, I'm a KZreadr myself who's looking for a side job in order to continue doing what I love to do. I went to Film school at BU, and can help with anything from help with filming (I live in your area), to editing, to helping with shorts-- helping you would help me too. But even if thats not something you're looking for, your videos are a gift, you are a gift, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I just turned 70 and I feel like I am 20. You have learned a very important lesson in life. It’s not the outcome that really matters at all but that you thoroughly enjoyed the process. You will find greater joy in life. I am an artist and I speak to many artists and they are frustrated that they can’t sell their paintings but they rush through them rather than enjoying the process and it really shows in the painting. I am not saying a painting has to be perfect at all but you can tell if someone put their heart in it. I love your candle holder all the more for the cracks and that you took the time to fix them made it more special. I love how you make the ordinary moments into something special. That’s the way we should all live. 🥰

Quality, sweet friend, not quantity. Your videos are rare gemstones indeed. ❤️

My favorite video of yours this year so far. What you said at the end of your video touched me in such a way. You brought tears to my eyes. That's how I feel sometimes in my life. Thank you

I also have Lymes and hearing you talk about feeling like you don't have as much energy as others and you're just not fast enough honestly made me start to cry. I feel the same exact way. It just takes so much out of you and no one seems to understand that. It's so reassuring to hear that this is a shared experience. Thank you for speaking on it ❤

I struggled with Lyme for a very long time and I can’t express enough how calming your videos have been for my mental state & how I feel I can connect with you even more after this video. I’ve also used thrive in the past to help ❤️. Thank you for being you 🫶🏽

I loved this so much, I shared it with my two bffs, and one of my sisters, because I want them to take 15 minutes of their day feeling as I did watching this: slow, relaxed, calm, happy, inspired to seek joy wherever and whenever I can, to be true to my core self, and to take in the reminder that nothing we ever enjoy doing is a waste of time if it doesn't yield the results we want. As a copyeditor, I've worked to deadline for 20 years, always pursuing the end. Only now am I really starting to learn to enjoy process over end result, and doing puzzles has helped me with it. Anyway, your content is so delightful, honest, joyful, humorous, and wondrous, as well as immersive and endearing, that I choose you over all the others. I don't care how often you post. Your quality is worth any wait, and each post is a treat. You are doing everything just right. xo Thank you.

Love love love this! 🥺 You and Jared recreating that scene from Little Women was adorable. The whole video was therapeutic and the anecdote about the broken mug was beautiful 💗. Take care, Desi!

Talking about being cracked and broken always reminds of this quote. “The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.” -Hemingway

The scene with you and Jared reenacting the Little Women scene made me smile. 😊 Also, I'd just like to say that even though you do produce less content, your content is far superior to any of the other youtubers I watch. The love and care that you put into every video is obvious. I imagine that all the different shots you have takes a ton of time, as does editing I'm sure. You're doing good Desi and you are certainly enough.

I have been feeling so low and your words were comforting at the end. Love your videos ❤

I was waiting for this! I had the same thought as soon as November 1st came around. Everyone’s talking about winter and Christmas and putting out decorations- but… it’s still autumn! November is such a beautiful month in its own right and it’s usually forgotten and invisible because everyone is in such a rush to be somewhere that, if we’re being honest, hasn’t even remotely gotten here yet. I saw someone post “40 sleeps until Christmas!” And I was like… that’s an entire month plus!! I love November where I live- a lot of the trees are still turning and are even more are at their peak colors, while many others have lost their leaves. The weather is so nice, everything is calm and quiet and there’s rainy days to comfort you and so much to look at before winter comes and everything is frozen and quiet and sleepy… Can we just enjoy the days we’re living as they come and not rush to a moment that WILL eventually get here anyway?

Faster is not always better! I think the pause of waiting with anticipation for the next video, and not having one right after the other quickly, is much more akin to why we watch you! To slow down and savor and appreciate the quality of what we are watching. You are doing beautifully, don’t put those weights of comparison on yourself! ❤

I really felt the last part of the video... At the moment I'm not feeling that great and I don't have the energy to do something for myself, because I'm feeling so tired all the time. Working full time, doing a bachelor degree beside it and my dad having cancer is too much lately. This was also a reminder for myself to make time to do the things I like. And to not feel guilty for not being ''productive''... Thank you ❤

Dear Desi, Today I'm having an awful day. Watching your videos on dark days like today, always helps me to calm down, breathe in and out and remind myself, that I am good the way I am and that I don't need to be flawless and wear a fake smile every single day.

I have really severe OCD, and have been going through a relapse after almost a year in recovery. I've been feeling so hopeless and sad until today, when I had a really healing session with my therapist. Afterwards, I wanted to bask in this healed and soft and happy feeling, and I thought what better way to do that than make a cup of tea and catch up on your videos. Your words about broken things still having value, and our struggles making us stronger and precious hit me right in my heart, and I couldn't keep from crying. Thank you for your videos, and the hope and joy you offer the world. You are so deeply appreciated.

Why do we push autumn aside? Looks out the window: ❄️ No autumn here 😂 Still, lovely video. They always make me feel so cosy inside. Now to cuddle up with a book and watch the snow ❤️

I started sobbing when you glued the mug together. That’s something I would have done. Your message at the end was profound and it touched my heart. Thank you for your warmth and your wisdom.

Thank you for the broken clay story at the end. It was beautiful. It reminded me of the Japanese art Kintsugi where a piece of broken pottery is put back together and they mend the cracks with gold, making it more beautiful than before. I have a disability and chronic pain is a part of that but every day I thank God I am here and I have a purpose.

I just wanted to say (as a videographer myself), I'm so glad you don't post as often as other youtubers because the care and time you've put into your videos SHOWS. Pushing out content for its own sake is a creativity killer, but you put out something truly beautiful and stunning every. single. time. because you paced yourself to achieve the end result you want. Keep going at your own pace - it's working out for you in such a gorgeous way.

I am glad you saw the beauty in the candle mug cracks and all! Being able to bring us content when you can is a gift to us. I hope you see how happy you make us!

God bless u and have a sweet November.❤❤

Hi Desi, I'm not sure if someone has already told you but I wonder if you've ever heard of the Japanese art of kintsugi - basically it is the art of repairing broken pottery with gold or silver lacquer - it doesn't just fix the ceramics and make the breaks invisible, it draws attention to the broken places and highlights them and makes them beautiful, it shows that breaking and healing and repair are all a part of the history of something and not something we need to hide away. I write about this a lot as someone who also has chronic illness and it is a lovely way of thinking about life and bodies. Thank you for such a lovely video - also so nice to see Jared!

Sweet girl! I love your spirit. It's great to know there are people out there who love books, imagination & Nature. You're not broken, you're full of genius (originality + creativity + intelligence.) ❤️ ❤️

The Little woman recreation. Simply Iconic. You truly inspire me to make the most out the my little life.

I know you might tend to worry about your content vs others, but I'm genuinely saying that you are the best creator for cozy joyful videos. Even if you're not uploading as many as you'd like to, your videos still are my favorite to see pop up in my notifications. They are so great and even like watching a mini movie now. Thank you!!

Less is more I watch your videos all the way through and actually replay the old ones constantly throughout the year. Your videos never get old . Therefore you don’t need to over produce due to algorithms. Darling Desi is a morning staple in my home no matter the season . Do what you love when you love it and we will find YOU dear. Cheers to just being you … isn’t it magnificent.

literally so excited for december desi content. *explodes with holiday joy* ♡♡♡

Ah, another Desi November video.😊 I love that you celebrate November each year with a magical vlog. Fall doesn’t end with Halloween! & as a later-season Scorpio, I highly appreciate your appreciation for November 🧡🍁🍂🧣✨

My favourite part of this video is the end and your words about the broken clay. I personally prefer channels when the content isn't uploaded all the time or on a predictable day. Too much content takes away the novelty. A new video uploaded when I'm not expecting feels like a sweet special treat. I'm much more present when I watch and soak up all the beauty and goodness of it. I guess it's not great for the KZread algorithm, but there is something special about these types of videos. They exude warmth and love.

That Jo and Laurie segment was gold! ❤ Desi, you and your husband are Oscar-worthy! Was not something I expected, but was very fun 😌

It's so true that we often feel we are not enough, or that we don't measure up to or can't compete with others when, as you say, in actual fact we are enough and we are worthy. I have to say that in November particularly, I have these feelings, as the days darken earlier etc. It is a struggle. But we can come out of it by remembering that we are enough and that there is beauty in the simple things and that we just have to see it and appreciate it. Especially when it comes to ourselves. Your video points this out in a very aesthetic way!! Much appreciated too!

14:57 When I tell you I needed to hear this✨🥺im going to remember this quote for the rest of my life

Love antiquing. So many unique treasures.

Your skit was adorable. Your comment about the broken ceramic candle holder was heartfelt. And like others mentioned, your videos are little stories/movies. What you put out is thoughtful and magical.

Dear Desi, I don't know who posts videos faster than you, but it's your videos that bring me the most joy! I'm not saying this to just uplift you, I absolutely mean it! It is so rare for the video not only be visually appealing, but also leave the warm feeling inside where I find myself smiling after the video. It's absolutely priceless! Besides all the beauty of this video! The scene with your husband was so sweet. Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul with us. Love, from Caucasus

Desi, don't worry about keeping up with all the other creators. The fact that you aren't currently able to churn out content quickly, whether intentional or not, actually fits the atmosphere of your channel. I come to your videos for a chance to slow down and breathe....a break from this hurry scurry life we live. And the fact that your videos aren't available regularly makes them that much more special...a treat to be savored. And if we had them all the time, well then they probably wouldn't be quite as special.😉Sending you loads of love and hugs and wishing you better health as we embark on another beautiful holiday season.💖

Especially the last scene with the candle holder really touched me deeply. I instantly thought of the Asian practice to mend breaks with gold to fix the cracks ❤

U are awesome. This 52 year old woman, highly enjoys ur videos and u make me smile and stop to enjoy the world around me.

Desi the clay mug message made me cry, such a powerful meaning that touched my heart and I really needed it. You’re such a beautiful soul and your contents always fill mine with joy and love for life, thank you🫶🏻🤍🥹

The reenactment was perfect omg

The candle holder story made me cry.... you're so strong and that was such a huge inspiration moment

You were totally speaking to me in the broken mug part. I needed to hear that. Thank you ❤❤❤

Here in VT we refer to this time as "Stick Season" - it's actually a really great time to do a lot of outdoor things. Birds are easier to see without leaves on the trees, views from mountain tops are nicer, the air is cooler and the bugs are gone (well except ticks 🤢). It's a great time of year.

The joy I get from watching your videos always amazes me. The reenactment is the best!! ❤
