We MOVED- A NEW BEGINNING

💜 PLEASE READ -- I know I haven't been on YouTube for a bit, and I wanted to come in and give a brief update about our recent move. As many of you can hopefully understand, there are many factors that go into making such a big move, and this decision was not made lightly, or with haste. We understood what a huge decision it was to uproot our family and our life, and it was incredibly hard to make this choice.. especially at this time. There were lots of questions, tears, and prayers, but we kept feeling like this was where we were being guided. I decided not to film and share content during this transition because I felt it was so important to create the space to process this move and stay present with my family during every choice along the way. We have been feeling like CA might not be our forever home for a while now, and after a challenging few years in both the economy and our personal life and business, we decided this was a new beginning that was very necessary for our family. We stayed in CA for as long as we could, and now it's time for a new chapter.. A few things I want to address: We did this move via PODS, and very much DIY. We drove our two cars and animals across the country over a period of 5 days. We minimized a lot of possessions in the process of this whole move, and fit everything into one large pod. Overall our experience with them was very easy, but you do pack and unpack everything yourself, and they transport it for you. We considered taking the farm animals, and looked into several different options to see how it might work. We looked into how we could possibly move and board the animals while we built infrastructure for them out this way. We decided after much consideration that the family who bought our home would keep our current flock of chickens and steward them + the eggs provided for their family. They are also continuing to garden and tend to the trees and everything we planted. Their heart is to continue to grow food for their family and others in Southern California. I felt at peace passing that home to them, as I believe they understood our heart for that home & land, and with hard work the land will bless them as it did us. The goats were re-homed to a loving family. I had some struggles with the goats that I never discussed here on my channel, and in the future I will share more info on my personal thoughts on if we will ever own goats again. They are beautiful creatures, but may not be the right fit for us on our next property. We'll have to see.. As for chickens, we definitely would love to have more down the line. We have to build another chicken coop (hopefully a better one), and prepare for our next flock. I have so many reasons that I believe chickens are a great addition to any property (especially here in Tennessee), and will share more of that down the line as well. There's a saying that says "blessed are those who plant a tree though they may never sit under the shade".. We really find great peace and enjoyment in spending time gardening and growing food. It's a way that we connect to the earth, and a shared passion as a couple. There's a true joy spending time with nature, and together as a family. I'm both intrigued and inspired by this new location, both its possibilities and challenges. We are excited for the seasons, and all the rainy days, and green trees. Did I mention that I'm absolutely in love with Tennessee, and it's gorgeous landscape!? I'm so happy every time I drive through our beautiful town. Everyone is so lovely here, and we're so thankful for the warm welcome! For the future of our business and work lives, we see a lot of potential to grow here. We are 25 min outside of Nashville in a small town. There are several work opportunities out here for both of us, both now and for the long term. As a couple we have been working towards different financial goals, and not relying on debt. It's no secret that California home prices are very high. We felt it was prudent for us to sell at this time, and take part of the equity (avoid a high interest rate loan, or having to refi down the line etc) and just consolidate and pay off a home. This gives us freedom to invest what we earn in a different way going forward. Ultimately we feel it's the best move for our foreseeable future, but life has many lessons to teach us. Many things have changed that I would have never expected. I remain grateful and inspired by the beauty I see all around me. Cheers to the next chapter... As always, thank you for joining me on this journey. 💜
