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.

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.

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
