Taking the plunge

(Before It's News)

I have a long-time reader back east named Holly who has been working full-time at a job which was becoming more and more frustrating to her. Over the years we’ve emailed back and forth about the notion of full-time homesteading, but for a variety of reasons she and her husband didn’t feel they could pull it off.

This morning I was thrilled to get the following email:

Hi Patrice,

Well I am handing in my resignation today to become a full time homesteader. I am excited and scared at the same time but have to trust that God will take care of me. I will be a lot calmer and happier in the long run.

I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to get this! I asked permission to post it on the blog so we could all cheer her on. She replied, “Sure. I can use some support right now!”

So folks, let’s give Holly and her husband a big hip-hip-hooray. They’re in for exciting times — some good, some bad, but never dull.
