Oh Jess. You hear the exact same inner 'voice' that I do. I swear I'll be on a topic for the day, and then here you are with a video articulating my thoughts for me in a much more eloquent and digestible way. I've been really thinking about making some sort of content and sharing myself with the world, but I'm a softy and I'm scared. Life's been making obstacles as well!Thank you for doing this challenge to make videos everyday❤ You've once again made me feel like I have a friend in a very rough time in my life ❤❤ bless you and yours, as always 💕
I was at the homestead conference that you spoke at last summer. I still can't talk about your 'deep talk' session without getting a lump in my throat. You get the deep parts of my heart without even knowing me. I wish you were going to be back at this year's conference. 💚
I just love when you share what's in your heart. I'm always happy with deep conversations!
Ok, I'm just going to ask: which is larher; your yarn collection or your seed collection?
Your yarn is amazing. Have no room to store that much. Love what you are making. It is interesting. Hearts and Flowers coming your way. ❤️💐
My fabric stash is just like your yarn stash. I really need to get back into the office/craft room and do some sewing. We had a bug house project and I had to get the garden up to snuff so I let the low end drag lol. Thank you for supporting all of us from afar. We all love and appreciate you.
I really enjoy your podcasts. They keep me company on my way home from work. The ones Jeremiah has done were enjoyable as well. So glad there's another one up.
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the deep conversations
HOW did I not know you have a podcast? I have been following you for YEARS
Home from work today and caught this just after it posted. he he
Still love that office. ❤
Thank you for sharing your heart and your lovely yarn stash!
I didn't know about your podcast- thanks for sharing.
Sigh! Yes… I bought yarn… and fabric… and all the stuff to go with them… and very well could open a "craft shop". Definitely will need to invite some friends over to work on projects… LOL! Blessings Kiddo!🌿💚🙏💕👵
I'm getting my very first chicks tomorrow and I'm excited and terrified, so a Jess lesson on that subject would be so amazing! I would listen to anything you want to talk about though. -Fluffy Bloomers
Love,love, love,the color of your new project. Can’t wait to see it finished.
I actually found you recently through a random search to learn about homesteading. I happened upon one of your podcast episodes and it quite literally changed the trajectory of my life. I finally decided in my heart to keep dreaming but to also keep learning and growing where I’m at (in my little condo with three young boys!). I had shut my dreams out because it seemed so impossible, but you helped me realize I can live a homesteading lifestyle where I’m at-and even MORE importantly to let the Gardener continue tending to my heart. I have sobbed on the kitchen floor listening to your podcasts, just overwhelmed by the grace He has for me in this season. I can appreciate every little moment, every little victory, every little sprout growing on my not ideal patio. I just appreciate THIS season so much more. Wherever we end up as a family I know our hearts will be the best soil for the seeds He wants to sow. The fruit will be deep and I will continue dancing in the in between. I have you to thank for reminding these things that were slightly buried within, Jess. Thanks for being the big sister I never had❤🌱
i enjoy you talks
Your videos just make me so happy.
Love, love, love this video!
Yarn stash
Wearables
Heart stuff
And a glimpse of your wheel.
I’ll be at Rory Feeks, stop by and say hello please. Idk if I’ll be able to sneak away to here you speak, but I’m going to try!!
Your yarn collection is like my fabric collection! People who do needle arts always appreciate the work and quality that goes into the supplies we use, especially if they are handmade speciality ones. It’s the natural bleed over to appreciating the quality of ingredients in our food. Probably part of that “mindful” living you spoke of. Thanks for sharing! Now I really want to learn to crochet!
Jess. I was at the conference working as a volunteer, hosting the building where you gave your third talk. It was so inspiring. You blessed me with your thoughts and by sharing who you are. It was amazing and I pulled my phone and found your channel full of amazing content. Be blessed Sweet Sister.
"Combing the tangles out of my own heart."
Oof, I feel that!
Been in that place myself a lot lately.
Thanks for sharing the genuine Jess! 🫶🏻
Too much talk today. I’m not up for it, sorry.
❤You have a fun voice that’s making me smile as I get ready to leave for work. I’m packing my work dinner, unpacking my organic pests box from Nature’s Good Guys and watching over one of my fussy eating dogs (while the other 3 stay nearby for a chance to steal). I’ve already cleaned out one level of a Greenstalk to pop in spare tomato plants while filling duck baby pools. I love multitasking so thank you for making a quick video! 😊
Good the podcasts have been a little secret of mine since nearly the first 2 episodes I think I started around episdoe 3 all that time ago. Lol listen to them first before most videos and your actually the only podcast that has ever stick with past one episode before. Lol so glad to see it's been on your mind more because it's true we don't talk enough about the heart issues after all our issues flow from it. Proverbs 4:23
Yay im excited for a devotional video ❤🙏🙌
It was actually the email list that got me exposed to your podcast when you first started it. I actually didn't like podcasts before yours so. Lol I can't say I don't listen to podcasts anymore for a few years now.

Its funny, you may not wear a lot of clothing with those colors, but they are all in your tattoos. Lol
I love those colors as well ❤
I bought SO MUCH perfect for me fabric (orange and peaches) that were left at Joannes this weekend – I was SO EXCITED
I dont mind the "heart" issues discussed in podcats! The practical stuff is more useful in a video anyway!
It IS insane that you are coming up on 4 years of being at your new place! What?!! The?!! Heck?!! Wow. Time really does fly. You guys have accomplished so much in that short period of time when I think of it that way. Blessings, sweet Jess. Love your channel. 🥰
So many of us love our homesteading and one of the deep roots is the heart that goes into it. We literally connect to you because of your heart So do it ❤lol😂 ❤
Combing the tangles out of my own heart…❤❤❤
lol! I can’t handle ugly light either! 😆
Love these vlog style videos ❤
Took me 30 years to relies my favorite color was GREEN…. everything goes with it :))
You have me really interested in starting to crochet, What is the best route to go for someone who would like to start crocheting? Where could I purchase a beginner kit?
You need to get some frosted window tint for your front windows 😆
I am a writer who has been exploring my own voice heavily this year.
And I asked a friend to read between two old abandoned drafts from the same project and tell me which one they liked better. I was sure one of the drafts would win out- it was moody and atmospheric and technically good. The other was something I had done after I had stalled in the first, it was shorter and less fussed over.
So when they said they really loved the second one I was surprised. But they basically said the second one sounded like me. And it made me realize that a lot of people can write pretty- but no one else can write like me.
And I feel the same about your content, you are not only my favorite garden channel, you are my favorite creator, period. A lot of people can teach the garden. But no one else is going to teach like you!
Don't get me wrong, you turn a pretty phrase, you are good at showing the beauty and the shadows. But I love your fearless depths, how you always come from love, and that you shine your light, even when it's hard.
Joanne's didn't close… it clearly just moved to your closet. 😆 I'm with Jeremiah on this one… that's a ridiculous amount of yarn! 😂❤
I love the podcast. Admittedly I am a bit behind but I know it will be there for me! It is a real place of encouragement and I appreciate you doing it!
Awe dang you need home hooks and office hooks, car hooks… can't be without a crochet hook lol!
I love it when your precious angels pop in at the very end and say “I bless you, until next time” 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I absolutely ❤ your deep delve heart talks Jess, we love your heart
Girl, you don’t have to be ashamed of your yarn stash! You have LOTS less yarn than the crochet YouTubers I watch! And how awesome is it when you can get it on sale?!?!
I loved when Toby chimed in on your blessing!
Your smile and awesome attitude always make each of your videos a blessing to me. 😊
Oh my darlin, oh my darling Jess 🎶 ❤😂 you inspired me to do a garden 4 years ago and start my own channel 💖 I love the way you reverence God with the earth 🌎 this made me want to garden not as a chore but love and connect with God and seeing the beauty around you. 🦋 🌼 yes I adore sunflowers 🌻 cuz they follow the 🌞 which we can emulate by following Thee Son ❤ 🙏 love ya lady. We met idaho conference and I was so bashful and awkward. 🤓 you signed my shirt and I remind that I sent you my kiwi peper jam. Fyi, my neighbors favorite 😍 TTFN Marianne 🌻 your BFF in Utah.
LOVE the wallpaper in your office. And I am really excited to listen to your podcast. Thank you for sharing so much ♥️. You're a gift to the Church.
