Jess doesn't talk much, but when she does ... it's profound. I appreciate so much that perspective as I try to live it also. So much time is spent in our head and not our heart. Thanks so much for sharing that with everyone, Jess!! 💙
Jess, I was was waiting to hear you say something , and at timestamp 12:04 - timestamp 14:38 for the next 3 minutes and 42 seconds you described EXACTLY what I was waiting to hear you say. All the things you spoke of about the heart; the gentle whisper, a soft light guiding the way that lifts you from the darkness and gives you a sense of peace, joy, love, comfort, an assurance. You, Jess, just described what happens when you, me, we, us let GOD take the lead and rely on HIM. GOD BLESS, you both. I heard some words a long time ago, that went this way: GOD, without man, is still GOD... Man, without GOD, is nothing.
I love when you guys put out these mini heart talks they're always perfectly timed when I need a little extra reminder. Love you guys you are truly phenomenal, beautiful souls😊💙
Glad your pup is better, and that you have come back to a place of Pease of Mind, as well as a Peace of Heart ❤ 💙 💜 💖 God Bless You Both as you rebuild!!!
I think this is my favourite vlog from you guys so far. Thoughtful, mindful, reflective and forward looking. The hard work will always be with you, it comes with the territory of off-gridding/homesteading, but there should be moments of reflection and it's good to see you sharing them. Jess, always good to hear your inner thoughts, they come from a place of contemplation. You both look so at ease, even with the mighty challenges storm season has given you. Just what was needed for all of our (the viewers) anxieties after the last few weeks of seeing your hardships, thank you for the emotional salve guys. ❤
Well said. We all fall down, the beauty is the getting back up / at the time it seems horrible but it really is in the most pain that we have the most to gain
This is the Ness I knew was under that shy quiet shrface. Your positivity is greatly appreciated and I would like to hear you more often speak from your heart's maybe on the lives or at least once a week? Thank you dear. You have warmed this old ladies heart. And Nim, you also are greatly appreciated for your hard work and your loving support and encouragement of Jess. Warm hugs to you both from a Granny.
That little voice in your heart, is the still quite voice of the Lord, the creator through the Holy Spirit. He’s reaching out to you, urging you to reach back. ❤️
You are so right about listening to your heart. Your mind is a selfish, agressive thing. If you have any kind of addiction you know that your heart wants to help but your mind just wants what it wants. It is very ego centered. I think being quiet and still and trying to let your heart speak is so important. It is very quiet and you have to listen very closley.. Thanks
Jess, when you started this vlog you are very shy and we didn’t hear very much from you. I’m so glad to see you come out of your shell and become a more confident woman who now eloquently shares her truth! You go girl!!
For weed whacking, get a Tyvek disposable suit ($10-12 at your local hardware store). These can last for a long time if you just brush off the burrs when you're finished and use them again. They don't tear like the paper ones. Since they are white, light weight and cool enough they can be used on a hot/warm day.
It's not what's happening. It's how we relate to it. Mindfulness (in Buddhism) is to cultivate the wisdom and compassion present in all of us. Thanks to both of you to keep the wheel turning.
We been dealing with chronic yeast infection on our fur babies skin we finally found a ointment that work's our vet recommended. Max has had this issue sence he was 4 yrs old he is now 15 yrs old.
Several judiciously placed windbreaks will really help your soil by limiting evaporation and providing shelter for the grasses and weeds that grow there normally.
Jess, I am in agreement with the majority of the comments regarding your sharing. It wasn't a speech, it wasn't a lecture, it wasn't a talk, what it was, was, you Jess. You opened the window of yourself to all of us sharing the contents of your heart. I was so blessed to listen to this video. You are the first person on TH-cam channels I watch, and I watch a lot of channels, who hit the nail on the head with regards to what should lead us. Our heart. Thank you for being so open and transparent. Your other half was so lucky to find you and hitch his wagon to your heart. You keep him grounded and provide a stable rock he can lean when he seems to go a little crazy. I love you both but now have a new respect for you Jess. Thanks, and love from Tempe, AZ.
Nice Jess. I've always understood the mind is an instrument to be used by us and not be used on us. We often don't make that distinction. But the heart moves our blood and the teaching says, "life is in the blood". I'll go with the heart.
Three things: 1. By giving the pig weed a “Chelsea chop”, you’ll find it gets bushier and flowers later. It might last longer and therefore provide that soil shade a little longer. 2. Humbly suggest you might want to get some disposable coveralls for the weed whacking. Big A online retailer has a pack of 5 for $40. Maybe a face shield as well. 😄. 3. Jessica - very wise words. Life is a marathon not a sprint so you are wise to take the long view.
Jessica, I appreciate your comments on following your heart. I would also like to incourage you to look up and outside of yourself and find the treasure that is the God of this universe. There in is a source of comfort, joy, and security far greater than our own minds and hearts can produce or imagine. Don't let the bad action of religious people discourage you from the amazing treasures to be found in seeking God.
Jess wow you are amazing such wisdom I just admire your outlook on life and nature and the love of animals you have a amazing and beautiful soul. It was so wonderful listening to you and every word made total sense. Awesome just awesome I really enjoyed this video 🙂
Beautiful Jess, thank you... We have lived here on our property for almost 5 years and it has taken me this long to come to the realisation that I need to be more grateful and caring of the environment we live in instead of trying to fight it! You are wonderful! You are BOTH wonderful!
This video was beautifully made. I love the talk by Jessica. It was full of truth and wisdom. I really felt your humanity. I love watching your videos 🌞🌻🐝🕊❤
If I had a nickel for every mistake I made..,,your ability to rise up above the hubris and remember your true purpose is wonderful to see. Thanks for the reminder
Good talk Jess. What you said is something I learn some time ago and I’m so pleased when fellow humans feel what our souls tells us. I’ve discovered that we humans are like a transceiver where we take in messages from all around us and we send out messages to anyone that can listen for them. I really put my heart out there for you both of you. Keep living the dream.
You're an amazing woman Jess. Both Jim and you are such a strong brave couple. Your compassion and need to live in an exhausting world, bringing nothing but peace to people, animals and the ground around you is the benchmark we should all strive for. I wish you peace, love and success in all you do. ❤️
Not only following your heart but also understanding that stumbling blocks are there for a reason. Lessons are hard but needed. The amount of water that may be normal to your area may be changing. You have a wonderful insight Jess, and I am a believer that everything happens for a reason. Trying to think your way through life can be treacherous. Accepting and understanding what reality has been laid at your feet... that is the real lesson.
Wow, Jess, this video is brilliantly inspirational. You’re my new guru. This is a message we all need to hear from time to time. Thank you so much and keep moving forward.❤
I like the way you talked about breaking down different things that we all think about that never they never talk about. And take one step at a time. Thank you for doing that.
I love how positive you are, especially in the face of your recent setback! I've been watching since just before you moved to your property and have been inspired again and again by how you meet, and overcome each challenge.
JIM & JESSUCA = God Bless your heart / soul = home-steading; garden; pets and the environment of Off Grid Living in your GREEN DREAM PROJECT, bravo, love & peace aloha and bonjour.
Best video ever from you! Please don't be hard on yourself. We use the knowledge and experience of our lives. Nature teaches us to adjust and learn. I am exactly like you. This video will help me stay grounded in the present and follow my heart. I must always remember I can not control what I see through my eye and can only control how I respond to situations. It's a learning process for me and will continue to learn until the end of my stewardship of our earth. Stay strong and keep learning as you keep moving forward in your life journey. You are on the right path. Love you both and thank you again for this reminder to keep on my path in this beautiful journey called life and love! ☮️🙏☯️
You are living your life together is such a great way and have had many many great successes. Your failures are hard to see when I see the bad outcomes that can be avoided. Stay on the journey and get into that dome....
Absolutely love your inspirational message Jess! Many people have called me crazy for selling our home and moving to undeveloped land.There are ideally so many reasons for this decision but mainly because it's what my heart needs. The hustle and bustle just leaves you feeling like you're chasing your tail. Letting go of a materialistic life is incredibly liberating. I'm following my own path and not the one that society has drilled into us. For me it was just my time and my way to get Back 2 Good! 🤗🌞
Jess your talk reminded me of when Jesus and the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and I turned my life over to Christ. He is my Heart and Soul and there is no turning back for me. I want to serve Him and live for Him and that has given me real purpose in my life. Satan and the world still is there to attack me and wants me to turn against God, and good, and doing what is right. Many times I become tempted and it is easier to do what everyone else is doing. I am happiest serving God and listening to the Holy Spirit teach me what I need to know by following God's Word, the Bible as my text book. The Bible never steers me wrong and it always gets me back on track. I am so grateful for God's Son, Jesus who came to earth to be our Saviour and voluntarily gave his life's Blood as the sacrifice for our sins, not just mine but for everyone else's in the world. It is a gift. We can accept it or reject his gift. He will not force it on us but it will not be ours if we don't accept it and receive it. Once we say yes the Holy Spirit is the treasure that is part of the gift. We are never alone after that. The Holy Spirit lives within us and leads us if we listen to him he answers us. God's wants us to be happy and He created this world perfect but sin, the rejection of God's love gift, His Son, Jesus has allowed Satan to ruin peace and joy and cause a lot of hate and distruction world wide. If we turn to Jesus and ask for forgiveness we can become His Children and be adopted into the family of God. Who doesn't want to be a child of a King? God owns the cattle on a thousand hills The wealth in every mine, He owns the rivers and the rocks and rills, The sun and stars that shine, Wonderful riches more than tongue can tell, He is my Father so they’re mine as well, He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, I know that He will care for me. (It was a chorus we sang in Sunday School but oh so true).
Me too! Thanks for taking time to post this. I find increasingly that people who don’t want to believe in God are tiptoeing up to the Bible, taking the helpful bits, and applying them to life without giving God any credit. It’s a bit like seeing a beautiful garden and cutting yourself a bunch of flowers from it , to take away, rather than enjoying the plant as it is with its roots intact. I don’t know whether Jess is in that category as she didn’t mention God, either to keep the atheists among us sweet or because she is not a believer. But it sure was a Christian sounding message.
Very inspiring and you can tell your heart is right because you can see it in your face. I was going to ask even before the collapse of you were ok, but thought maybe I was just reading in something that wasn't there. Happy you are bouncing back.
I am so impressed by the fact you never once put everything on some god. You are absolutely right Jess. Love you and yours. Peaceful skies and fair winds to you both.
Hi guys, I strongly agree with following your heart. I can relate to that having relocated from the UK to Cyprus where my family is from almost 5 years ago. I too am working towards living off grid and support your project. God bless.
This is an EXCELLENT post! I was busy doing other things while listening to the audio. Your voice (Jess) was very effective and soothing, causing attentive response. I just had to stop what I was doing and see WHO this was speaking these wise words.
I have the utmost respect for your efforts. One thing you need to think about is that the straw in the mud is for strength by providing fiber to hold the mud together -- too much straw holds too much moisture and weakens the mud. A good balance of straw to mud will make the mud predominate and keep the straw as the strength that holds it together. You can add other things as long as it serves as another bonding agent. Right now, when you look at your structures, you see a lot of straw on the surface ... the mud is behind it because the mud sloughed off. Adobe works because its clay - a less absorbent material. Dries hard as a rock and just as brittle. The straw tempers that brittleness and prevents cracking. Cracks allow moisture to get in. Adobe will weaken and crumble unless something like straw is present to prevent the cracks. All things I'm sure you know but you have way too much straw in the mix. Just look at it. Go to your neighbor's house and look at theirs. (The Upside of Downsizing). Yes the lime can help - yes the hair is stronger - yes the eggshell is lighter than sand. You do know your stuff but the mix is a little off. Cut back on the amount of straw to clay. Please?
I agree following your heart is the first set of success of all that just begins ,and flows out of you , and everyone can feel that positive energy that comes from your heart
Hey you two, my goodness the root cellar! I missed your last 3 videos??? So glad that you’re ok and the dome is ok. Jess you are so right, following your heart and intuition is the mist peaceful way to live. Love to you both❤️✨
Disfruto muchísimo tus reflexiones. Es como si se creara un puente de corazón a corazón. Te comunicas de una manera tan poderosa. Gracias por compartir.
Great message. I always try to follow my heart too but fear is a killer for sure. Fear and worry about the future get me every time. Y’all have a great attitude. 💜❤️😊

Wow, the most we’ve ever heard Jess speak at one time! Very uplifting and positive message, thanks! Love your videos guys! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍👍
As the BOOK well says:
"Above all else, guard your heart, for from it issues the matters of life"
Proverbs 4:23
And she did it with such grace!
Liked and enjoyed your Prolog Jess. 🙏
I love the words of wisdom from Jess! We need more of this!
Jess, I was was waiting to hear you say something , and at timestamp 12:04 - timestamp 14:38 for the next 3 minutes and 42 seconds you described EXACTLY what I was waiting to hear you say.

Love you both and the positive attitude. We are all more powerful than we know.

Excellently said!
Glad your pup is better, and that you have come back to a place of Pease of Mind, as well as a Peace of Heart ❤ 💙 💜 💖 God Bless You Both as you rebuild!!!
Thank you Jessica for your moving and POSITIVE message. Inspirational. Looking forward to your continued improvements and builds
Yup, Jess doesn't talk a lot, but when she does, she is pulling from that deep well of wisdom that is only found through long silences.
I think this is my favourite vlog from you guys so far.
Thoughtful, mindful, reflective and forward looking.
The hard work will always be with you, it comes with the territory of off-gridding/homesteading, but there should be moments of reflection and it's good to see you sharing them.
Jess, always good to hear your inner thoughts, they come from a place of contemplation.
You both look so at ease, even with the mighty challenges storm season has given you.

Glad you figured out what works for you. For me, I need my head to keep my heart from going in the wrong places sometimes. : )
Thank you Jess
Double WOW for Jess! More words just wouldn't help!
All the best for ALL of you.
I so loved hearing Jess and her words you guys are such beautiful people thank you.

Wise words Jess! Was great hearing you!
We unsubscribe way back when. You are back in our hearts ❤️
Such true words....follow your heart and it will take you to the wonders.
Thank you and take care xx
Nice Jess. I've always understood the mind is an instrument to be used by us and not be used on us. We often don't make that distinction. But the heart moves our blood and the teaching says, "life is in the blood". I'll go with the heart.
Keep the faith kidniks! You’ve got a bunch of life to live.❤️
Three things:
1. By giving the pig weed a “Chelsea chop”, you’ll find it gets bushier and flowers later. It might last longer and therefore provide that soil shade a little longer.
2. Humbly suggest you might want to get some disposable coveralls for the weed whacking. Big A online retailer has a pack of 5 for $40. Maybe a face shield as well. 😄.
3. Jessica - very wise words. Life is a marathon not a sprint so you are wise to take the long view.

Such a great video! For me that inner knowing is peace and truth. Yes, we have to be quiet and listen.
Love love love when you share your heart Jess.
Beautiful Jess, thank you... We have lived here on our property for almost 5 years and it has taken me this long to come to the realisation that I need to be more grateful and caring of the environment we live in instead of trying to fight it! You are wonderful! You are BOTH wonderful!

If I had a nickel for every mistake I made..,,your ability to rise up above the hubris and remember your true purpose is wonderful to see. Thanks for the reminder
I truly appreciate your positive outlook and wisdom. I love the way you both work as a team and see each other through the trials.
Good talk Jess. What you said is something I learn some time ago and I’m so pleased when fellow humans feel what our souls tells us. I’ve discovered that we humans are like a transceiver where we take in messages from all around us and we send out messages to anyone that can listen for them.
I really put my heart out there for you both of you. Keep living the dream.
Wow, that was incredible!
Jess, I really enjoyed this video. Normally you are quiet and reserved, this video you opened up, it was refreshing to see another side of you.
Thank you Jess, I love the way how you put approach life. I've always live that way myself. Your AWESOME!
Jess, that was absolutely lovely. Xx
What a veeeeeerrrrryy smart girl you are! Let's definitely hear more of your experiences and philosophy of life!
Wonderful! Jessica, Thank You for the encouragement. Thank You for sharing a part of yourself with us. Peace & Continued Blessings!
Jess I wish I could like this twice because of your speech.
You did a great job Jess!!! Woot woot!!!! GOOD STUFF!
You're an amazing woman Jess. Both Jim and you are such a strong brave couple.
Your compassion and need to live in an exhausting world, bringing nothing but peace to people, animals and the ground around you is the benchmark we should all strive for. I wish you peace, love and success in all you do. ❤️
much love.

Great wisdom from Jess. you say follow the heart, not the head, we say follow your gut feeling, not the head. I guess we mean the same.
You are living your life together is such a great way and have had many many great successes. Your failures are hard to see when I see the bad outcomes that can be avoided. Stay on the journey and get into that dome....
Absolutely love your inspirational message Jess!

God bless you all!
Jess your talk reminded me of when Jesus and the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and I turned my life over to Christ.
He is my Heart and Soul and there is no turning back for me. I want to serve Him and live for Him and that has given me real purpose in my life.
Satan and the world still is there to attack me and wants me to turn against God, and good, and doing what is right. Many times I become tempted and it is easier to do what everyone else is doing. I am happiest serving God and listening to the Holy Spirit teach me what I need to know by following God's Word, the Bible as my text book.
The Bible never steers me wrong and it always gets me back on track. I am so grateful for God's Son, Jesus who came to earth to be our Saviour and voluntarily gave his life's Blood as the sacrifice for our sins, not just mine but for everyone else's in the world. It is a gift. We can accept it or reject his gift. He will not force it on us but it will not be ours if we don't accept it and receive it.
Once we say yes the Holy Spirit is the treasure that is part of the gift. We are never alone after that. The Holy Spirit lives within us and leads us if we listen to him he answers us.
God's wants us to be happy and He created this world perfect but sin, the rejection of God's love gift, His Son, Jesus has allowed Satan to ruin peace and joy and cause a lot of hate and distruction world wide.
If we turn to Jesus and ask for forgiveness we can become His Children and be adopted into the family of God. Who doesn't want to be a child of a King?
God owns the cattle on a thousand hills
The wealth in every mine, He owns the rivers and the rocks and rills, The sun and stars that shine, Wonderful riches more than tongue can tell, He is my Father so they’re mine as well, He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, I know that He will care for me.
(It was a chorus we sang in Sunday School but oh so true).
Me too! Thanks for taking time to post this. I find increasingly that people who don’t want to believe in God are tiptoeing up to the Bible, taking the helpful bits, and applying them to life without giving God any credit. It’s a bit like seeing a beautiful garden and cutting yourself a bunch of flowers from it , to take away, rather than enjoying the plant as it is with its roots intact. I don’t know whether Jess is in that category as she didn’t mention God, either to keep the atheists among us sweet or because she is not a believer. But it sure was a Christian sounding message.
Loved this, Jess! Thank you both!

Good to see you assess and regroup! Onwards and upwards I hope all goes well!❤👍🌈
Thanks Jess
I am so impressed by the fact you never once put everything on some god. You are absolutely right Jess. Love you and yours. Peaceful skies and fair winds to you both.
Love your comment ☮️🙏☯️
I feel sad that you do not seem to have God in your life. I pray for you two.
🙏📿📿🙏
Hi guys, I strongly agree with following your heart. I can relate to that having relocated from the UK to Cyprus where my family is from almost 5 years ago. I too am working towards living off grid and support your project. God bless.
Thank you Jim and Jessica. One advantage that you have when planning how to manage your water is your drone. You can get a birds eye view.
Beautiful
This is an EXCELLENT post! I was busy doing other things while listening to the audio. Your voice (Jess) was very effective and soothing, causing attentive response. I just had to stop what I was doing and see WHO this was speaking these wise words.
I am the same way Jess. I feel you. That funk is a hard thing to claw your way out of.
Jess, love your words... your heart felt message. I believe you are spot on. Really enjoyed this video, thanks.
I have the utmost respect for your efforts. One thing you need to think about is that the straw in the mud is for strength by providing fiber to hold the mud together -- too much straw holds too much moisture and weakens the mud. A good balance of straw to mud will make the mud predominate and keep the straw as the strength that holds it together. You can add other things as long as it serves as another bonding agent. Right now, when you look at your structures, you see a lot of straw on the surface ... the mud is behind it because the mud sloughed off. Adobe works because its clay - a less absorbent material. Dries hard as a rock and just as brittle. The straw tempers that brittleness and prevents cracking. Cracks allow moisture to get in. Adobe will weaken and crumble unless something like straw is present to prevent the cracks. All things I'm sure you know but you have way too much straw in the mix. Just look at it. Go to your neighbor's house and look at theirs. (The Upside of Downsizing). Yes the lime can help - yes the hair is stronger - yes the eggshell is lighter than sand. You do know your stuff but the mix is a little off. Cut back on the amount of straw to clay. Please?
I agree following your heart is the first set of success of all that just begins ,and flows out of you , and everyone can feel that positive energy that comes from your heart

So much yes! Great video. Jim, you need a scythe. No gas, no string and quiet. You can find them at Lehman's home goods store in Ohio. They ship.
Well said!!! Hopeful for the best for you both, keep up the good work. 👍
Great message. I always try to follow my heart too but fear is a killer for sure. Fear and worry about the future get me every time. Y’all have a great attitude. 💜❤️😊
