Continue to run your channel as it feels best for you. Your channel provides a peaceful, relaxing glimpse into your homestead. It is great to see the transformation, the DIY projects, and your heartfelt chats. Look forward to seeing what is next.
Years ago i read Candide. After many adventures he travels to Turkey, where he has been told an old man knows the meaning of life. He knocks on the door, and asks him what is the meaning of life. The old Turk replies , " Just tend your garden"., and shuts the door. Whenever I feel it's to much I remember this. Always look fore ward to your videos. At a time when life is not very good, they help to relax me. Greeting from NE England (Land of much rain).
I subscribed to your channel long ago because you inspire me with your fearlessness to learn, apply, share. The world is noisy, but it’s intentionally so. The more we distance ourselves from algorithms and prepared ‘news,’ the better off we are. But if we all focused on home and beauty (Philippians 4:8) (as you’re a good example of) wouldn’t the world be a better place? That’s what I’m reminding myself to do. I’ve also actively sought out the ‘good’ ones in the new town I’m in - gardeners and knitters/crocheters are always good people, I figured, so I found a homesteading ladies’ gathering and a yarn shop community afternoon to attend. God bless you!
I have been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I can't even go out to my garden. Please be appreciated of the things you have. Cause looking back I would just appreciate going and looking at my flowers and vegetables.
Reading your comment 3 months later. I'm so sorry you've gone through this. I pray for the best possible for you, and truly may God help you and be with you.
Im a gardener for a living in Florida...and the things you relate here speak to me quite clearly sometimes. I really enjoy your channel, new as it is to me. This video in particular, where Indeed has the good gone, in people, our fellow humans? So many seem to have lost the things that make them..human..their humanity. Life is supposed to be about love, and yet there's so much hate these days. It's hard to feel positive when we are surrounded by so much negativity. I've raised my kids, done my duty as a father...and now wonder what is next for me...what's my role now? Watching you somehow makes me feel there's others out there that feel like I do, and hope is not lost. Keep being your great self! You give me hope in humanity...when it's hard to find sometimes.
I do hope you continue doing what you're doing, I've gotten so much inspiration watching your channel. As a single female with a full-time, very demanding job... it's wonderful to see that this homesteading life is still possible.❤
Gardening is my peaceful place. I block the negatives , and miserable people around. I'm always polite and kind to others wether they like it or not. Sage your on the right path, and I wish you the best in everything you do.
Hey Sage, you are much loved and appreciated. Just know that your channel helps and uplifts all who take time to watch. Maybe what you provide isn’t supposed to change the world but rather keep it from changing, or a least slow it down for those that need it. Be encouraged 👍🙏🏻
These are my favorite kinds of videos from you, Sage. I love it when you do these chats. You have a very calming voice. I can't spend too long on news sites either. I just peek in now and then and that's enough to keep me away the rest of the time!
everyone questions "where has the goodness gone?" there is goodness in everything if you look for it, your animals give you goodness, your gardens are goodness, your small community has goodness too, so don't give up on it the simple things in life are usually the best & highly under appreciated, am the same with my little cottage, chooks & cats, it's peaceful & purposeful if you can make it work, so stop worrying about what's on the news, (unless life threatening), this is why you moved to your own homestead, to get away from the pressures of society please keep your videos going, even one every couple of months would still be nice, take us for a tour around all your beautiful flowers that are blooming; or "a day in the life of ..." etc learning self sufficiency is not the easy way out like some think it is; you have done a brilliant job getting your home & land useable, love watching your improvements, your struggles, you keeping it real & telling us your downs & ups, it's all part of the process thanx for taking us along on your journey
As someone who is a constant consumer of news (my YT is about 90% news and it says I watch/ listen to 12 hrs a day average), it is a bit overwhelming and can lead to some pretty depressing thoughts. However, it's channels like yours that get my attention away from the madness and brings me back down to earth. The news cycle isn't everyone, community and locals are what we should all be gathering around.
This video popped up on my page tonight. I am glad it did. I enjoyed sitting with ya. Its so uncommon to see a beautiful, kind and caring person all in one place and from what you were saying you know that too. The world has so much turmoil in it. I am sure though labor intensive it is super relaxing to come out to your gardens and escape the noise and hustle of the world.
I feel the same…… What’s going on in the world is depressing. Sadly, it’s been going on for so much longer than most of us know. The way I’m dealing with it is by sharing my knowledge and info I find on some of it. Like you, I’m reminding myself daily how very lucky I am to be living my life the way I am. The suffering so many are experiencing is hearthwrenching for us empaths. Girlie, you are making a difference in my life 🧡
I believe the majority of average people, like you and me are good at heart. The world is in turmoil, caused by the power hungry not the majority. I to find peace in my garden, chickens and the new baby calves running in the field. That's what makes the work and sometimes tears worth it. ❤
Oh my goodness, I am right there with you! I simply cannot watch the news any more. It has all become too much for me at this point. I do not have a peaceful place that you have. I live in the suburbs. My heart wants out so badly. But I do have a garden and backyard chickens, so I am trying. I look forward to your new adventure with the channel. My favorite videos are ones that are peaceful and calm.💕🌻
All that you are sharing is what I see in your channel. The word is "shalom"--an inner peace in the midst of chaos. Thank you and keep doing what you're doing. Regardless, it's not really about what you're doing...but your channel is about who you are-- those things you value that are reflected in who you are. Keep it up!
Shalom--an inner peace in the midst of chaos. Thank you and keep doing what you're doing. Regardless, it's not really about what you're doing...but your channel is about who you are-- those things you value that are reflected in who you are...
This is exactly what I needed to hear this morning. In a world and at a time with so much heaviness, being reminded to seek out kindness and goodness was the mental refuge I needed to escape to for a bit. As I contemplated your message, I decided to extend my work break just a little longer. Grabbed another cup of coffee and watched a pair of wrens busily flip over leaves in their search for breakfast and a fledgling cardinal try to learn the ropes of using the feeder. Little things that hopefully sprout roots of contentment and happiness. Thank you for bringing kindness and goodness to our day.
I love your videos. I just turned 64 and still dream of one day having my own piece of property. I see firsthand how much work you’ve put into your garden as a single person. I know it’s going to be hard work. Your videos are calming, inspiring, informative. I recently had shoulder surgery and no one to help with my garden, so now almost everything is dead or dying, has stink bugs, leaf footed bug’s & hornworms. A lot of my veggies are damaged because of them. But your video today makes me feel better. Makes me not want to give up, to see what comes next. Show us how you overcome any obstacles you encounter. Thank You 🙏🏻 Have a Blessed rest of the week. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The good have to stick with our faith and each other and pull them in one by one, it's all we can do. And realizing our many blessings brings the best peace, I would love a channel like that! ,
The hard thoughts are real and heavy. With our backgrounds, it's constant, but we find our peace in these little homestead chores. Reach out anytime and stay awesome!
I appreciate your videos. They are honest and heartfelt. When you ask where the goodness in the world has gone, look in the mirror. It's you and your heart. People need to know they are not alone in feeling the same way you verbalize. Thank you and keep pressing into what your gut is telling you. It has been and will continue to be a blessing to others. Happy Homesteading!
sometimes it s ok to pull into ourselves - almost go completely away from the world. we have to take care of ourselves 1st. i learned this as a young single mom - - - all my energy needed to go to me & my child....
Sage--I think your plan is awesome! I come here to see the hand that you have had on your landscape and the ethic that you have around both beauty and function in the world around us. This really has been a place, for me, to reflect on being grateful and enjoying my small piece of the world. Please never feel compelled to make something relaxing (as the pressure can bring stress). I certainly find what you make now to be a haven-like space, and I am excited to see what you do moving forward. Thank you for this.
Thank you, I've been struggling with my channel, too. So much 'life' has been happening caretaking my 88 year old dad that it's left me wondering how to continue with my channel in the gardening homesteading wannabe ... I've not shared on my channel what's happening because I don't think people want to hear my struggles but it's real life. Thank you so much 💓 for this heart to heart, it's helped me a lot. Keep being you❤
If you share whatever brings you joy and contentment, it will bring your viewers the same. I follow your channel because I like you. I enjoy seeing what matters to you. There are so many channels that are educational, but I prefer the ones that are mainly personal. That's what pulls me in. Getting to know the person making the videos. What interests you? Show that. If sipping a cup of coffee and reveling in your beautiful garden interests you, show that. If showing your love for your dogs means something to you, show that. Don't worry about being monotonous. If you're interested in what you're showing us, we'll feel that. This may be a corny saying, but you go, girl!
I love your chats, and love your channel! We’re lucky with what you upload :) I’ve just started my own journey on home ownership and homesteading as a single woman and I’ve watched your channel for a while, you’re a huge inspo! ❤
It would be interesting to see how you are able to run this homestead all by yourself while maintaining a full time job. I have a small, very busy, urban homestead and when I worked full time on top of that I was BUSY. I'm also doing it alone. People always ask me what are you going to do with all of that food that I am growing or why I'm doing all of that. I suspect that your reasons are similar and there are most likely others like us out there. Show in your channel that it is possible. I remember one time I prepared my garden in the spring while it was raining; crazy, but that was my day off and I didn't have the luxury to wait out the rain. Homesteading is that important to me which is someting that many people can't understand.
Taking the camera with me to that extent and doing it often is not something that's sustainable for my mental health. But if you're curious to see a day in the life or an example of a daily routine with work, I've posted both a video and a podcast episode about it!
I love your passion and appreciate your authenticity! As an overwhelmed homesteader myself I appreciate you taking the time to make the content that you do!
Every now and then you have to do some emotional and spiritual sanitation by only giving energy to the things that you can control. Now I know as an empath that is going to be difficult for you and the things going on in the world definitely weigh heavy on my soul especially our human family seemingly losing its ability to the love and care for one another. Terra Nova Acres is one of your many positive contributions even if you may not see it clearly. Showing people how to grow healthy organic food for themselves, giving people insight on how to live healthier, so focus on you and the life that you're cultivating and nurturing on your homestead. Some of the things that are troubling you most you have absolutely no control over so do the sanitation and throw it away. You don't hold on to or horde trash at home. You throw it away so do the same mentally, emotionally and spiritually. #sagestrong
I Appreciate your time & effort to share your God given paradise. Seeing your amazing thriving Homestead is like looking at a Beautiful aquarium for me🥰 Take time to inhale & recharge amongst your sanctuary. Our good Lord Jesus's has all the comfort you need
@4:14...2 Timothy 3 explains it. I found my answers to these questions in Jesus Christ. Once I understood the point of everything and who I am in Jesus, things changed. My perspective changed on everything. While the world may be in Chaos, I still have peace and joy. I pray the same for you.
Best wishes on your journey. I have enjoyed seeing you set out, and look forward to what you might now produce. FWIW - I love the flowers in the background of this one. You could just film flowers and that would be happy. Take care. Namaste
Truth is where we all have to start. Understanding that propaganda is all around us, robbing us of kindness, peace and joy. As a Christian my comfort is found in my savior. But, I’ve also been blessed by people on RUclips as well. You’re providing a space that may not be for everyone, even I am not able to see every video of every channel I find value in. But, when I do tune in it’s the calm that I’m attracted to or the inspiration I needed to keep at my garden, or my weeding because when I get to the end I too will have the beautiful background like you have, to rest my eyes on. Only you know what’s best for you. Thank you for sharing your heart.
You're on to something really big here Sage. I was interested in starting my own channel and learned authenticity was the common factor among many successful creators. It's the secret sauce of motivation as a meaningful life is a life of meaning. Kudos to you also for taking the time to reflect and having the courage to share your feelings. Many disillusioned are trying to find better, bigger and more life hacks while missing the beautiful nuances of learning, growing and building things together. There's honesty and pride in making and doing your own even in failure and that's missing in modern society as well. As you back up the bus and reconnect with yourself here, you're helping others to do the same and that's amazing. I'm looking forward to your takes and episodes of the @SheSaidHomestead podcast so please keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing you on the @theJustinRhodesShow channel soon. ;)
I don't mean to be a simp but I guess I have to because you're beautiful and enjoy the simple things in life. You also have an adorable laugh! I'm a 28 year old single guy so sorry for probably coming across as weird on the internet.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I kinda thought something was up when I asked Mikayla if you were ok and for you to respond to that showed the genuine person that you are. You asked where is the good, The good is people like you who bust your ass to make things the way you want them to be. And now you get to reap the rewards of your hard work. I love your content and I will follow you no matter what path you take. the minute I saw you sitting amongst the flowers that you worked so hard for I honestly took a deep breath and relaxed and for me that is what your channel does for me. I see all your hard work and the rewards that you are blessed to get from it. Unselfish, Relaxing and Hard working! That is the good that you bring to all of us in my opinion and I thank you so much for it.
John 16:33 I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
Sadly there are so few of us that are good in this world, and we can't be the ostrich and stick our head in the ground. We have stepped back from being a good neighbor, saying hello & thank you. With what's going on with this blue planet we do need to check in on worlds events just incase shtf. Sending hugs to you, I hear a lot it in your voice, you're a strong and intelligent young lady, you're a gift thank you for you.
Sharing the Beauty that We Create and Experience is Extremely Important to Us as Loving, Compassionate, Caring human beings in a World where Our so called Leaders have/are systematically Stripping away our God Given Freedoms for Their own Selfish Agenda's,, these are Very Dark times,,, that being said,,,, one Beautiful Smile from a stranger can turn Darkness into Light and I for one am Extremely Grateful to be among them,,,,, You are not alone Sage ! Thank you for Sharing Your Beauty !! from BC, Canada 💚
I love watching your videos either way. I did not know about the She Said Homestead Podcast but I subscribed! I'll still watch, you have a very calming voice and I prefer learning from women (because I was raised by all women with no father around). I have the issue where I bought a place that ended up being a money pit. I already have half of the cost of my mortgage in loans just to maintain. I haven't even got to redo anything inside yet lol...after 8 years. I'm thankful but it's tough knowing that I made a bad decision that I can't easily get out of because of the housing market. I would end up paying more to rent sadly! It feels like a huge roadblock and I'm always waiting on the next "bad" thing to happen. I'm wishing I would have found somewhere with more than 1.1 acres (yes there's 90 more acres behind me but they aren't mine). I do have permission to use but not for homesteading purposes (yet). I know it's a rough time to tune out on the news but I have been trying to do that as much as possible. It makes me so much happier ignoring it all.
as another solo female homesteader with a full time off farm job,, who is also at setting up stages - its overwhelming and NOT a solo person job. Was just reading about a growing number of folks who are exhausted by the social media dream of " homesteading" partic solos. Beyond the farm, the world stage is alarming atm, fascism on the rise in many places including, your country. It does feel as if the good is out of reach these days. I hear ya. I think many feel this way. But, I spoke with an old activist friend recently and he said something that stuck, "fight the dragon thats closest." So, thats my hot take.You do what you need to do, you owe no one anything and yourself, everything.
I don't know all of the specifics about what I am going to say, but one random thing to remember is that your videos can help inform AI of what it means to be human living a sustainable life. As the world gets crazy and AI draws information from the web, your videos can help make sure humanity is not lost to AI. Take that for what you will. Thanks for your videos. Whatever your path may be you are not alone! Sending support!
I stopped watching TV of any kind about 5 years ago. I choose to do this. I choose to not know what's going on in this crazy world. It seems to work for my Amish friends lol
Aww... I'm sad because you were the first homesteading vlog/content I started watching! I'm going to miss you and the videos. But I understand things might be different moving forward. You have to do what it best for you. Maybe a break, maybe a change in content, maybe you haven't figured it out yet... but it's okay. We're still here to support you.
Turn off the news and don’t listen or read the news or social media for a week or longer! It’s okay to check out sometimes, you will then notice a lot of good things and people who will fill your bucket up again. I agree we don’t want to ignore what is going on in the bigger world, we all have a part to play but overwhelm is not going to help anyone. I think you’re exhausted and need a break!
Hey Tegan (😉). Crazy question, would you want to help in the mission to Unite distribution sites and other aid? I'm on the outside working with groups that are sending people in and we are trying to organize for better support. (Think outside of Asheville, where resources and space are issues). ❤
Please 🙏 don’t stop homesteading. Your posts are so informative to so many people. You’re doing God’s work. Or just audition for “ Survivor “ . You’d probably win it all. 💵💰💵💰 PS …. I watch way too much news on tv 📺. We can’t control what’s going on halfway around the world 🌎. That’s why your videos are so important. They take all of us away from the chaos.
Well said, Sage You don’t get 8000 + subscribers by putting out content that people don’t want to see. I enjoy all your videos whether they’re just of you working or doing one like today. I agree with you about the news. I had to go down to two days a week. If anything really major happens you’re going to hear about it anyway. I see good people and good things happening every day. Would you please type out the name of your podcast. I looked for it but couldn’t find it. Have a good day.
If what you are doing is beginning to create too much of a stress level take the time for a reset. I will say that the journey of life is and has always been very stressful, no one owes you anything!! Like the rest of the human race, you are born into a world of uncertainty, and you must fight to survive. Life will slap you in the face daily and you will meet new struggles daily. Learning to be a problem solver rather than a complainer or victim is your only chance for survival. How about you think about a podcast that will give people a platform to express their concerns about where we are at and where we are going as a human race if we continue down the path we are on. So many people are starving for a different point of view on life. The role we play in relationships is a very interesting topic and has many avenues to explore. Men and women could learn from the right content on relationships, and you could still share your journey on the progress of your homestead. You seem to have a beautiful spirit, but you like so many others are hurting inside and drowning in uncertainty. Hope you figure it out. Stay well pretty lady and be strong.

You are someone special more people need to be like you
The gentlest and deepest feeling people have often known unkindness intimately. I am glad I am who I am, but I am also glad I am uncommon.
Lovely presentation,Your voice is very beautiful

everyone questions "where has the goodness gone?" there is goodness in everything if you look for it, your animals give you goodness, your gardens are goodness, your small community has goodness too, so don't give up on it
the simple things in life are usually the best & highly under appreciated, am the same with my little cottage, chooks & cats, it's peaceful & purposeful if you can make it work, so stop worrying about what's on the news, (unless life threatening), this is why you moved to your own homestead, to get away from the pressures of society
please keep your videos going, even one every couple of months would still be nice, take us for a tour around all your beautiful flowers that are blooming; or "a day in the life of ..." etc
learning self sufficiency is not the easy way out like some think it is; you have done a brilliant job getting your home & land useable, love watching your improvements, your struggles, you keeping it real & telling us your downs & ups, it's all part of the process
thanx for taking us along on your journey

Thank you, I've been struggling with my channel, too. So much 'life' has been happening caretaking my 88 year old dad that it's left me wondering how to continue with my channel in the gardening homesteading wannabe ... I've not shared on my channel what's happening because I don't think people want to hear my struggles but it's real life. Thank you so much 💓 for this heart to heart, it's helped me a lot. Keep being you❤
If you share whatever brings you joy and contentment, it will bring your viewers the same. I follow your channel because I like you. I enjoy seeing what matters to you. There are so many channels that are educational, but I prefer the ones that are mainly personal. That's what pulls me in. Getting to know the person making the videos. What interests you? Show that. If sipping a cup of coffee and reveling in your beautiful garden interests you, show that. If showing your love for your dogs means something to you, show that. Don't worry about being monotonous. If you're interested in what you're showing us, we'll feel that. This may be a corny saying, but you go, girl!
just you sitting in front of your beautiful garden - speaking honestly - is relaxing to watch
I love your chats, and love your channel! We’re lucky with what you upload :) I’ve just started my own journey on home ownership and homesteading as a single woman and I’ve watched your channel for a while, you’re a huge inspo! ❤
Your videos always provide some peace 🕊️. So I think whatever you do will continue that. Love the podcast ♥️
Real and honest and I think a lot of people feel this way, do what makes you happy, for it will transfer to those around you ❤
Please keep running your channel as it is the most meaningful to you, I am a simple man and from my point of view you have ve been doing awesome!
It would be interesting to see how you are able to run this homestead all by yourself while maintaining a full time job. I have a small, very busy, urban homestead and when I worked full time on top of that I was BUSY. I'm also doing it alone. People always ask me what are you going to do with all of that food that I am growing or why I'm doing all of that. I suspect that your reasons are similar and there are most likely others like us out there. Show in your channel that it is possible. I remember one time I prepared my garden in the spring while it was raining; crazy, but that was my day off and I didn't have the luxury to wait out the rain. Homesteading is that important to me which is someting that many people can't understand.
Taking the camera with me to that extent and doing it often is not something that's sustainable for my mental health. But if you're curious to see a day in the life or an example of a daily routine with work, I've posted both a video and a podcast episode about it!
youre doing great
I love your passion and appreciate your authenticity! As an overwhelmed homesteader myself I appreciate you taking the time to make the content that you do!
You are blessed.
Every now and then you have to do some emotional and spiritual sanitation by only giving energy to the things that you can control. Now I know as an empath that is going to be difficult for you and the things going on in the world definitely weigh heavy on my soul especially our human family seemingly losing its ability to the love and care for one another. Terra Nova Acres is one of your many positive contributions even if you may not see it clearly. Showing people how to grow healthy organic food for themselves, giving people insight on how to live healthier, so focus on you and the life that you're cultivating and nurturing on your homestead. Some of the things that are troubling you most you have absolutely no control over so do the sanitation and throw it away. You don't hold on to or horde trash at home. You throw it away so do the same mentally, emotionally and spiritually. #sagestrong
I Appreciate your time & effort to share your God given paradise. Seeing your amazing thriving Homestead is like looking at a Beautiful aquarium for me🥰
Take time to inhale & recharge amongst your sanctuary. Our good Lord Jesus's has all the comfort you need
i feel the same way.
It’s found in Jesus ❤️
That's awesome! Keep going!
@4:14...2 Timothy 3 explains it. I found my answers to these questions in Jesus Christ. Once I understood the point of everything and who I am in Jesus, things changed. My perspective changed on everything. While the world may be in Chaos, I still have peace and joy. I pray the same for you.
Best wishes on your journey. I have enjoyed seeing you set out, and look forward to what you might now produce. FWIW - I love the flowers in the background of this one. You could just film flowers and that would be happy. Take care. Namaste
You are making a difference.
Truth is where we all have to start. Understanding that propaganda is all around us, robbing us of kindness, peace and joy. As a Christian my comfort is found in my savior. But, I’ve also been blessed by people on RUclips as well. You’re providing a space that may not be for everyone, even I am not able to see every video of every channel I find value in. But, when I do tune in it’s the calm that I’m attracted to or the inspiration I needed to keep at my garden, or my weeding because when I get to the end I too will have the beautiful background like you have, to rest my eyes on. Only you know what’s best for you. Thank you for sharing your heart.
You're on to something really big here Sage. I was interested in starting my own channel and learned authenticity was the common factor among many successful creators. It's the secret sauce of motivation as a meaningful life is a life of meaning. Kudos to you also for taking the time to reflect and having the courage to share your feelings. Many disillusioned are trying to find better, bigger and more life hacks while missing the beautiful nuances of learning, growing and building things together. There's honesty and pride in making and doing your own even in failure and that's missing in modern society as well. As you back up the bus and reconnect with yourself here, you're helping others to do the same and that's amazing. I'm looking forward to your takes and episodes of the @SheSaidHomestead podcast so please keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing you on the @theJustinRhodesShow channel soon. ;)
I am so proud of you and your plans. What you provide is priceless. I look forward to taking this journey with you.
Because, all that you’re doing with your homestead seems meaningful IMHO
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I don't mean to be a simp but I guess I have to because you're beautiful and enjoy the simple things in life. You also have an adorable laugh! I'm a 28 year old single guy so sorry for probably coming across as weird on the internet.
you are amazing, thanks for being the goodness still on youtube
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I kinda thought something was up when I asked Mikayla if you were ok and for you to respond to that showed the genuine person that you are. You asked where is the good, The good is people like you who bust your ass to make things the way you want them to be. And now you get to reap the rewards of your hard work. I love your content and I will follow you no matter what path you take. the minute I saw you sitting amongst the flowers that you worked so hard for I honestly took a deep breath and relaxed and for me that is what your channel does for me. I see all your hard work and the rewards that you are blessed to get from it. Unselfish, Relaxing and Hard working! That is the good that you bring to all of us in my opinion and I thank you so much for it.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful refuge with us. Love your channel. 😊

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
Sadly there are so few of us that are good in this world, and we can't be the ostrich and stick our head in the ground. We have stepped back from being a good neighbor, saying hello & thank you. With what's going on with this blue planet we do need to check in on worlds events just incase shtf.
Sending hugs to you, I hear a lot it in your voice, you're a strong and intelligent young lady, you're a gift thank you for you.
Sharing the Beauty that We Create and Experience is Extremely Important to Us as Loving, Compassionate, Caring human beings in a World where Our so called Leaders have/are systematically Stripping away our God Given Freedoms for Their own Selfish Agenda's,, these are Very Dark times,,, that being said,,,, one Beautiful Smile from a stranger can turn Darkness into Light and I for one am Extremely Grateful to be among them,,,,, You are not alone Sage ! Thank you for Sharing Your Beauty !! from BC, Canada 💚
I love watching your videos either way. I did not know about the She Said Homestead Podcast but I subscribed! I'll still watch, you have a very calming voice and I prefer learning from women (because I was raised by all women with no father around).
I have the issue where I bought a place that ended up being a money pit. I already have half of the cost of my mortgage in loans just to maintain. I haven't even got to redo anything inside yet lol...after 8 years. I'm thankful but it's tough knowing that I made a bad decision that I can't easily get out of because of the housing market. I would end up paying more to rent sadly! It feels like a huge roadblock and I'm always waiting on the next "bad" thing to happen.
I'm wishing I would have found somewhere with more than 1.1 acres (yes there's 90 more acres behind me but they aren't mine). I do have permission to use but not for homesteading purposes (yet).
I know it's a rough time to tune out on the news but I have been trying to do that as much as possible. It makes me so much happier ignoring it all.
Good luck with it all 🤍
@@terranovaacres Thanks, you too!
as another solo female homesteader with a full time off farm job,, who is also at setting up stages - its overwhelming and NOT a solo person job. Was just reading about a growing number of folks who are exhausted by the social media dream of " homesteading" partic solos. Beyond the farm, the world stage is alarming atm, fascism on the rise in many places including, your country. It does feel as if the good is out of reach these days. I hear ya. I think many feel this way. But, I spoke with an old activist friend recently and he said something that stuck, "fight the dragon thats closest." So, thats my hot take.You do what you need to do, you owe no one anything and yourself, everything.
I don't know all of the specifics about what I am going to say, but one random thing to remember is that your videos can help inform AI of what it means to be human living a sustainable life. As the world gets crazy and AI draws information from the web, your videos can help make sure humanity is not lost to AI. Take that for what you will. Thanks for your videos. Whatever your path may be you are not alone! Sending support!
I stopped watching TV of any kind about 5 years ago. I choose to do this. I choose to not know what's going on in this crazy world. It seems to work for my Amish friends lol
Aww... I'm sad because you were the first homesteading vlog/content I started watching! I'm going to miss you and the videos. But I understand things might be different moving forward. You have to do what it best for you. Maybe a break, maybe a change in content, maybe you haven't figured it out yet... but it's okay. We're still here to support you.
It'll still definitely be homestead centered! Just probably more fly-on-the-wall type perspectives.
@@terranovaacres Do whatever you need to do for yourself. You and Mickayla both help me get started. We've been on our property for 2 months now! 🤣😂🤣
Turn off the news and don’t listen or read the news or social media for a week or longer! It’s okay to check out sometimes, you will then notice a lot of good things and people who will fill your bucket up again. I agree we don’t want to ignore what is going on in the bigger world, we all have a part to play but overwhelm is not going to help anyone.
I think you’re exhausted and need a break!
Hey Tegan (😉). Crazy question, would you want to help in the mission to Unite distribution sites and other aid? I'm on the outside working with groups that are sending people in and we are trying to organize for better support. (Think outside of Asheville, where resources and space are issues). ❤
Please 🙏 don’t stop homesteading. Your posts are so informative to so many people. You’re doing God’s work.
Or just audition for “ Survivor “ . You’d probably win it all. 💵💰💵💰
PS …. I watch way too much news on tv 📺. We can’t control what’s going on halfway around the world 🌎. That’s why your videos are so important. They take all of us away from the chaos.
Well said, Sage
You don’t get 8000 + subscribers by putting out content that people don’t want to see. I enjoy all your videos whether they’re just of you working or doing one like today.
I agree with you about the news. I had to go down to two days a week. If anything really major happens you’re going to hear about it anyway.
I see good people and good things happening every day.
Would you please type out the name of your podcast. I looked for it but couldn’t find it.
Have a good day.
She Said Homestead!
@@terranovaacres Got it. I won’t even tell you what I thought you said.
If what you are doing is beginning to create too much of a stress level take the time for a reset. I will say that the journey of life is and has always been very stressful, no one owes you anything!! Like the rest of the human race, you are born into a world of uncertainty, and you must fight to survive. Life will slap you in the face daily and you will meet new struggles daily. Learning to be a problem solver rather than a complainer or victim is your only chance for survival. How about you think about a podcast that will give people a platform to express their concerns about where we are at and where we are going as a human race if we continue down the path we are on. So many people are starving for a different point of view on life. The role we play in relationships is a very interesting topic and has many avenues to explore. Men and women could learn from the right content on relationships, and you could still share your journey on the progress of your homestead. You seem to have a beautiful spirit, but you like so many others are hurting inside and drowning in uncertainty. Hope you figure it out. Stay well pretty lady and be strong.

Ok …what is your definition of meaningful?
