Last July I wrote about a film crew that came to interview Brett about his online business and our story. Well guess what? The film is finally available for viewing!
It is a promotional video for the course that taught Brett how to do his online business. So it’s more focused on the business than on our story but you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of our life as mold avoiders.
People have asked me how we were able to make money while on the road and this video provides half of the answer.
Brett has created a pretty awesome online business!
But unfortunately, the filmmakers cut out the part where Brett gave the rest of the answer.
The amazing generosity of family and friends!
When my mast cell reactions became life threatening and we lost all our possessions to the mold, our friends and family rallied around us to support us. My brother-in-law organized a fundraiser and raised over $30,000 for us. We could never have done it without that support. I just want to thank all of you who contributed one more time. You really helped to save my life.
I also want to honor Jaquelle Crowe, Brett’s business partner, for all the hard work she’s put into the business. There’s no way Brett could have kept The Young Writer’s Workshop going and taken care of me during our first few months camping without Jaquelle. Thank you so much Jaquelle!

By the way, Brett and I made a beautiful PDF of my favorite resources for suffering souls. I created the content and he made it look fancy with his superduper graphic design skills. It’s available for free to my email subscribers. Click here to sign up and receive 5 Resources for the Suffering Soul.

February 1, 2018 at 12:03 pmBeautiful video, Ana! When Brett mentioned your dreams of adopting and fostering, I instantly thought–you already have! There are so many in the YWW (including myself) who feel like you and Brett have brought us into your life and made us family, by investing in our dreams and letting us be a part of yours. The lives you are touching through your words, through the YWW, through this blog, and through your prayers… those lives are changing. And they are changing for the better. That’s a God thing, and it’s happening because you let Him use you to accomplish so many things every day (things you may never know the fruit of, but I assure you it is still there and growing). God’s plans for you have never dimmed, no matter how long the road. Thank you so much, Ana and Brett!

In Christ Alone,

February 24, 2018 at 1:17 pmSo honored to have gotten to see this. Knowing about Brett’s business & your lifestyle & actually getting to see a glimpse into it are two different things. I’m so glad I’ve been blessed now with both. Love you both very much!
