Thank you for showing your vulnerability. That’s not an easy thing to do and we appreciate it. Holding you in my prayers. ❤
Just so you don't feel alone… I couldn't have done 100 days of talking on videos either. Also, I worked in long-term care for over 30 years, and when a client became unusually confused, we immediately suspected UTI. We were nearly always correct. Take care of yourself! ❤🎉
Dear Jess, Remember your glass is more than half full of Blessings. You made more than 50 daily videos for us! It must be time for Jess time, and all that entails. Peace and Blessings and enjoy your summer! ❤🌻☕️
Rest and recover ❤❤❤
We all love you
Dental work is the worst, but most generally, it is the fastest to heal. That being said, I will be praying for you.
Thank you Jess for all that YoU do and have done for all of us! We all understand having to pivot. We all want you healthy. We love and respect you and we know that you’re only slowing down because you need to take care of you! Thank you for sharing your world as much as you are able! We are all blessed because of it. Get well soon..
No judgement here.. 😊❤❤❤❤❤
Even superheroes have weaknesses. You do what and when you are able. We understand.
God hold you
God keep you
God heal you in mind, body, in spirit
I pray this in his name
Thank you sowards family for sharing your love with us and holding our set at your table
Your honesty is why I watch you. Content creators who put up unreal videos cause the viewers to feel like failures when our lives don't look the same. You have helped me overcome so much of my emotional trauma by learning to be real and honest and set boundaries… Not to mention how wonderful my garden is! Thank you!
We have benefitted and enjoyed the 51 days of content.. plus…. And we want you well and healthy, take good care!
Oh my good friend, who I've never met, but I've watched faithfully all the years you've been on you tube, I totally understand. I'm 68. I have chronic health issues. I finally realized I'm going to have to give up the homestead. I can't do it anymore. It's heartbreaking, but facts are facts. I have a plan to give up the rabbits this fall. The goats next spring. And next year will be my final garden. I will keep my chickens till the bitter end. And I Will sell the place and go fishing and hiking with my dog. It is painful to admit, but it is necessary. So, I totally understand. You and Miah have been in my prayers for years.
You owe much more to your family than to us. We respect you for everything! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have thoroughly enjoyed all your daily videos, that being said you have got to take care of yourself first. You don't owe any one an explanation at all. I have sever fibromyalgia and totally understand daily pain. Praying 🙏🙏 you feel better soon.
Will be praying for you! We all understand that your health, family, animals, etc are more of a priority than YouTube. Good luck with the dental work!!!
We all BLESS YOU Jess,take care
Jess, like everyone who has already commented, you are amazing. So appreciate all you share with us. Don't let yourself get run down, feeling stressed. You know, life is short, your family is priority, God has this and we will always enjoy whatever you can do. Know we are here for you too. Take a BREAK.
Not concerned how many days you post. Am concerned for you. Your smile looks great not like it needs work. Facing teeth issues makes me wonder what yours are.
Jess, you take care of your health. You have blessed us with so many video's and we all appreciate it so much.
Peace and healing may God heal you and make you healthy.
Take care of yourself will be here when you get back. I hope your goats get rid of their parasites.
Know we appreciate all you share. Who cares about a challenge when we all know your heart. Take care of you, take a break. Praying healing for you girl. Now, grab some of your tea and go sit in that beautiful garden ~ just breathe.
You are the strongest person I know. I have total respect for you
I think random heartfelt videos that are done out of wanting to share as opposed to doing it as a challenge dare is usually better content. Prayers you feel better & the dental work goes smoothly & painless
Just know you are loved ❤❤❤
You owe us nothing. We gleen from your shine anyway
Pretty sure those of us who have come alongside you for these many years KNOW (even if digitally) you well enough to understand that stepping down from this challenge you've set for yourself didn't happen on a whim. We don't need any explanation at all, anything you choose to share is up to you-you know this, guess I'm just affirming its what I believe. Haven't finished watching the video yet (I'm at 2 min…) Know that so many of your followers are praying over you now, that we get to recognize thru this that yes, sometimes plans NEED to change. Keep up the good work my friend.
Praying healing into your life and grace in your spirit!
Please take care of yourself first! your health and well being is the most important. We will be here when you are! You and family first.
You have spoiled us with all the videos you've been posting lately, I looked forward to them every day. That being said, all your viewers care about you and would prefer you take care of you first and foremost. Whenever you post we'll all be waiting ready to watch your wonderful life. ❤
Oh, I really needed to hear this today. Thank you for sharing and I'm so glad you are taking care of yourself instead of pushing for an arbitrary number of posts. That takes strength. I hope you give yourself grace and space to do what you need for you and your family. You don't owe anyone anything. Adding you to my prayer list and hoping that you are healed soon and able to rest.
We all have to hit the brakes sometimes. That's why mental health days exist. Take good care, meditate, chill, bring things down a level. All the best to you and yours.🎉❤
Girl, you made that goal, not us! No need to apologize! I think we all love you, like truly, and love seeing everything you gift us with, but never at the expense of your health! Please take care of yourself, first and foremost. ❤
You’re an inspiration to us all! It doesn’t matter if you post every day, or once a year, we’d tune in and love every second of your content and sweet, loving heart!
I’m wondering if you’ve done a de-wormer protocol on yourself? Sage and Stone Homestead has a video called “I Had Worms”. It might be worth a watch. If you have done a protocol, did you find it beneficial?
Jess know this, your public loves what you bring to this channel, take as much time as you need to heal and take care of what you need to, we will be waiting when you are ready, take care of yourself and see you soon.
We will
Miss your daily content, but first and foremost you need to take care of yourself! Be well!
I know how you feel Jess. I, too, deal with some health issues as well. We have good days & tough days. God carries us through it. Wisdom is knowing when to rest & being a good steward of this temple is being obedient to that request. I'll be praying for you & I'll still be here when you upload more content. Love ya ❤
Yes. Agreed. Honesty let's air into the room. Helps the other "not perfect" folks
I respect the fact that your taking time to take time for yourself and your health. God bless you and your recovery <3
Just make yourself a priority. Don't worry about us out here in the atmosphere. God's blessings on you and family, his healing hands surround you and his will be done
Amen
Jess, I have been experiencing excatly the same thing the past 6 months, I had been struggling with recurrent yeast infections and GI issues. It turned out I had candida overgrowth in my GI and after treatment I am feeling sooo much better and can eat somewhat normally again and not constantly be in pai
It is so hard to say, "I can't do it," but I'm glad you did. ☕️💜
Take care Jess! Life is busy, but it's important to take time for yourself when needed. Sending wellness energy your way ❤
51 days is WAY longer than I can do ANYTHING in a row. Let alone share myself like you do. You're amazing ❤ YOU DID IT 🎉🎉 I'm friggin proud of you, and I'm so happy that you stopped when you still had motivation to continue at a steady pace, instead of force yourself to burn out 😊. Im going to take that lesson to heart ❤❤
You are a precious glass ball. Take care of yourself first ❤
On top of the desire to do a lot of things, we have had society drill into our heads this idea that "You can do anything as long as you put your mind to it!" It sounds, and often is, encouraging but it also becomes a pressure and weight to spend massive amounts of time and mental and physical energy to things. The reality is there are things we cannot do and things that circumstances truly prevent us from being able to do, and in admitting we can't (even if it's only temporary) there can be a freedom. If we can't, if our circumstances make it nearly impossible, or if our priorities need a shift that changes our ability to do a thing there is freedom to stop striving and fighting ourselves when we admit we can't. We are no less worthy or valuable because we have limits. We are honoring our abilities to acknowledge our limits, and saying "I can't" allows us to have peace in, to enjoy, and to do well what is left when we put the rest aside.
Take care of yourself. I have always appreciated your candor and honesty and enjoyed your videos and your experience and wisdom.
So happy to see you are putting you, your health, and your family first! I cannot imagine the stress – I can’t even get one worthwhile video made a week with my toddler lol! We love you & sending you all the healing vibes💚☀️💪🌸🌿
THE SPOONS!! YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE! 51 DAYS!! GREAT JOB! THANK YOU! I LOOK FORWARD TO GARDEN TOURS!
