I QUIT MY JOB!

[@lauriegreer6836]

I was just noticing that the last 5 or so videos that Art has been in such a different mood and seemed happier- now I know why. So happy for you both and hope all goes well with the house build.

[@AmysArea]

I also noticed that Laurie!! They are also having fun together!

[@cjfishtales2238]

I just posted a comment..."somethings off" last week

[@TickittybooLoo]

I noticed that too. They both are glowing, also I think the video Art did at the beginning of the pandemic with those pieces of paper, made me even more of a fan.

The reason your channel grows is not just the extra interest in homesteading, it is because you are a lovely, loving, Godly family and that feeds the souls of your viewers!

I am also a nurse that quit my job to help care for my dad with Alzheimer’s and be a full time “farmer”. My father passed unexpectedly only 3 months after I quit my job. So- do I go back? What do I do? I decided to stay at home and work my small farm of animals. While I do not make much money at all, and as a matter of fact it actually costs more money monthly than it makes, the mental stability I now have as a result of my decision is worth so much more. I will always be a nurse just as Art will always be a nurse, and those skills are so beneficial no matter what you do in life. Enjoy your much deserved new life, I look forward to sharing it with you.

[@evalinawarne1337]

Dana. Please do not go into debt. I UNDERSTAND. I did all I could like you. Taking care of my mom. I lived with her her last year. My dad died 9 years before my mom.my mom did most of my dads care till the end. She was in her 80s 87 when he died. She was 96. This month she died 4 years ago. GOD BLESSED YOU and I.

[@dominique8233]

I have been with you from the beginning and still here because you have an integrity and truthfullness to your videos. It's a brave decision and you have obviously thought about it and all the ramifications positive and negative for you and your family. Art, I really appreciate your more quite thoughtful viewpoint on life videos and your video without spoken words but notes instead at the beginning of the covid pandemic was very moving and also when you went for a hike up your special mountain. I love Bri's videos when she is in her sweet spots of the garden and looking after your animals. I have been encouraged by how much you have both grown in experience and depth over the time I have been watching. I have noticed the increase in videos and appreciate all the time and effort you both put into them. I look forward to seeing your home build and transformation.

[@RAPATEXWV]

It’s so scary to quit your job!!! It’s been 4 years now since I quit my full time job in order to homeschool our son. I sincerely prayed for 5 months about it before I decided it’s what God is calling me to. My husband was on board, but I think barely hanging on. He was probably more scared than me. We trusted God and here we are doing ok. Money is crazy tight and with student loans barreling down to haunt us again soon, I’m needing to bring in some money somehow just to relieve some stress. We made it through a bankruptcy that last five years and now we are looking to buy a house away from the NC coast because it’s so expensive to live here. So now we are praying for a house with about 1-3 acres so I can farm to raise food for our family. 💕 Congratulations on moving forward with your dreams!

It’s a good decision- a natural progression to focus on the homestead that you’ve always worked so hard on. Art will have less stress going forward doing work on the house and the property. Bri and the family will benefit from having him closer to home. No worrying about catching something at work when caring for patients! Your community will miss your nursing skills but you can go back if the need comes up. Please consider having some friends hired or join you on the house project. Be safe - No need to do it alone
