For 5 years, Kim has been living comfortably in a 40' long by 10' wide park model tiny home with a ground-floor bedroom--impressive storage! She travels 4 months each year as a vegan tour guide, her dream job. It's becoming harder & harder to leave because of how much she loves being home with her huge group of friends and the special relationship she has with her 2-year-old "neighbor niece". 💞 👉 *Watch the Acony Bell Tiny Home Community tour:* kzread.info/dash/bejne/dXqaucaMpb3Fc7Q.html

I live by myself and have for a long time. Am 75. Do have family. See my daughter 2 to 4 times a year. My grandchildren once in awhile. Once or twice a year. If I am lucky. Yet, not alone. Have two cats and two possums. Three live outside. Figure the possums are mine. They eat the cat's food when I forget to put it up. I do give them apples. Possums eat mice (yes!) and (double yes!) ticks. When I start feeling alone, I recall God gave me a guardian Angel. We all have one.

A couple of years ago, I moved into a similar community, and while it’s technically a retirement community, the constant flow of everyone’s grandkids keeps it young (and fun!). Downsizing wasn’t easy, but it was absolutely liberating. The kids are older and on their own, and for an older widower with 3 old dogs, the cavernous Victorian house and property had to go! I still have plenty of room for all those things that are so precious to me, but none of the worries I had with all the upkeep I just couldn’t handle myself anymore. It’s a fantastic lifestyle, and as tough as the transition was, I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I have peace of mind again.

This is HEAVEN ON EARTH! AMAZING!!

i am seeing some positive things about these tiny house communities, they seem to be a plus for the mental health of people . These sense of community and intimacy is so good for people.The lack of stress that comes from keeping up with the Jones is such a plus . And I notice that many of these communities are placed close to nature and wildlife.The whole life style is a plus.

@TinyHouseExpedition

Жыл бұрын

That's so true! Living in community has many proven mental health benefits, especially when you know that the community you interact with daily shares similar values. It's also wonderful to have intergenerational relationships to learn from each other's experiences. Tiny living is ultimately about crafting a life that rings true to your values rather than " keeping up with the Jones" and often comes with a simpler way of life at whatever price point suits you best.

It's been about 6 years now we're going on that we lived here, originally living in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Plus the owner we bought it from added a full extension on the other side of this main little house, and so she has her very own place. Its like being plopped down in the middle of a lovely forest, as it's So beautiful and peaceful here in the community that we live in. But it was a lot of joy to see the community you have, and the lovely cute homes, and I do wish everyone much happiness. God bless you and yours. 👍❤
