One of the things I appreciate about you, Marrissa, is your authenticity and your willingness to work through your discomfort with us. As someone who has encountered more obstacles than I can count, I support your choice to take care of yourself and your family over any perceived UA-cam obligations. You have given so much to us that the least we can do is be understanding of your needs, so rest secure in your decision. I've only watched your channel for a short while yet you have had a big impact on my life. Even if you never upload another video, I won't forget you and I'm grateful I found you.
Yes. I agree as well. I felt as though you were speaking directly to me. It was a very good experience for me. And when you brought "hub" aboard, I appreciated that as well. I like him too. A very encouraging blog.
Best of luck in the job search! And have a wonderful holiday season ❤ One bit of unsolicited advice, don't fall prey to click bait. Your channel is too good for those influencer games. You're taking a break not quitting. And I for one am very glad you'll be back.
I love how you said the honest and open thing in such an affirming way. I agree and I think that it is always best to simply stay true to who you are and your intentions.
So sorry to hear about your husband's job loss. So happy your efforts and lifestyle changes are giving you the time to take a breath and reassess. We look forward to good news and sharing your journey.
Enjoy your time off. Hopefully we’ll see you back here in 2022. I guess I’ll have to go back to the beginning and watch your videos all over again! My best wishes and all good things to you and the family.
Big change! But change is good, right??!! Have a wonderful holiday season with your family. I’m so happy that you will remain close to your wonderful extended family. Cheers to a new and different and exciting 2022 for you all!! 💗🎉
Marissa, thank you for your courage and showing your true, authentic self. I pray all good things for you and your family. One thing money can't buy is time. So enjoy this special phase of life. I'll see you down the road.

Oh my Marissa, I don’t know what to say. You have an incredible brand here, so I’m very happy that you are taking a break. I, for one, will miss you so very much. I feel very badly about what you, as a family, are trying to figure out right now. Love and hugs to you all. Be well, breath, and enjoy your “happy accident”.
´Marissa -- fwiw, I think you're doing exactly the right thing: take some time, look around you, take stock and ENJOY your time off as a family!!! Then decide what comes next. Whatever it is, we'll still be here, waiting for you to share it with us. Have a great holiday and all the best to your entire lovely family! 💕💕💕
Hey Marissa You have taught us so much.. I am praying and hoping you are well and whatever you and your family decides to do for your future will be the best decision… Pls come back with tons of new videos and looking forward to catch you soon. Happy new year to your family.. Love hugs from us (Lamba family ) from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
You know we will be here when you get back! I don't care much for Facebook or Instagram, but I always look forward to minimalism videos on You Tube! I have decluttered my house multiple time, but I keep leaving the sentimental stuff for later. Your videos have helped me realize I am ready now! My holiday plans are tackling the basement storage room!
Being one of your earlier subscribers, it's always great to see how your journey on this channel goes...as work is for life and not vice versa, enjoy your holiday with your husband and let your hearts lead the way. I'm sure your family will become better and happier. God bless you all.
You guys take care, life is life and nothing is perfect, look forward to what awaits you’re next phase of life. In 10 years you’ll look back and know without doubt things happen for a reason.. have a happy holidays with the family, so much to celebrate!!
I really enjoy your videos. Everyone needs a break. My mom use to say 'everyone needs a little help sometimes'. Take care. Enjoy the holidays. I hope you will return in the new year. It's fun getting to know you and your family and your family's journey.
I wish you and your family lots of rest, reflection and excitement for this new chapter in your life. It's amazing that you have set up yourself financially so well that you can take this break. Happy holidays and see you when you're ready!
Hi Marissa and family from Toronto 🇨🇦! I’m one of many grateful members of your community and wish you all the happiest of holidays. Thank you for sharing your stories - the good and not so good - and holding our hands while we went through our own minimalist journeys. Please know you are loved and we look forward to more adventures!
Sometimes things don’t go according to our plans. But that’s ok. Things seem to always work out somehow. I have an adult daughter who is quite ill. Not my plan for her. But one way or another, she will be ok as will I. Difficult times remind us what is really important and help keep us focused. I wish you and your family the best and look forward to seeing you in the New Year. Your channel is one of my favorites.
Oh Marissa, I'm going to miss you! The best thing to do now is to step back, reassess and spend time together as a family. In the end, that is what matters most. I have always trusted Bob Ross - there are no mistakes, just happy accidents. Sending lots of positive thoughts and love your way!!
Hi Marissa, I could tell that you had a hard time recording this and would like to thank you for all the inspiration you have given me over the years. I honestly think you are one of the best minimalists out there on the net. Wishing you and your family a wonderful time off and a relaxing holiday season from the UK. Susann xx
Just found you a month ago. I guess I will have to go back and view your older videos. Great adventure lies ahead for you I am sure. Tell you husband that my favorite videos are the ones where the man shows up occasionally or at least puts his voice to the video. It shows that you not alone in your minimalistic journey.
I just joined your community. I'm so impressed with your content & how it's presented in such a practical, down to earth way!! I'm a fan... Your break will give me the opportunity to look through all your videos & read your blog! Good luck & look forward to your return.
I really enjoy your message and I hope that you are not "quitting quitting." Like so many others here,. I wish you and your family the best and look forward to having you back in 2022.
New subscriber here. Just watch two of your videos last night.. One was the Q & A, with you and husband that was wonderful.. Enjoy the break and look forward to seeing you in New Year. I will go back and watch some of your older videos, in the meanwhile.
How very brave! I’ve only just found your channel & found myself looking forward to the new videos. So, in the meantime I will catch up on your vlogs / blogs. Family is everything & I’m certain we will see you again. Happy Holiday & Wishing you the very best.
Marissa!!! I am so relieved!! I thought you're quitting for good!! But you are just taking a break. I can relax now!! Whew!! Have a wonderful Christmas!!
Oh boy has our family had that fun experience of being let go just before Christmas. Luckily we also had a good amount of savings so it turned out ok. I hope it works out for your family too. We always move to follow the money. It’s meant not putting down roots anywhere but its also made me realise that home is wherever my family is (me,hubs and kiddos. Last move we rented out the house we had bought until we made up our minds we would not be moving back. Our extended family is all over so I have never had to make a tough choice about moving away from them so soon after moving back). Good luck making your big decision! Wishing you all of the very best.
I will miss seeing your inspiring channel every week, but totally understand your need to devote this time to your your sweet family. Take care Marissa and happy holidays.
Blessing in disguise, I’m sure. You seem to make the most of every situation and I’m sure you both will do the same for this season of your lives too. I just joined your blog subscribers! Can’t wait to see what all you have over there too! Have a happy and fulfilling holiday season and hope to see you and your husband in the new year!
Thank You! ave a great holidays as well!! I just started to watch your videos as im a little bit of a hoarder myself...Im starting to declutter my place and thanks you so much for all you do!
This is not goodbye..just so long for now. Enjoy your family and enjoy your life. This will give me the opportunity to catch up on some of your older videos. Thank you for all you do. Much love 💕
Hi! I’m quite moved by your presence and personality and also how authentic you are. A few things have helped resonate in me. I’ll try to stay on the same road to minimalism And happiness.
I am just happy that you see a good opportunity for your life and are optimistic! I wish you a great time together and am looking forward to seeing you next year, all refreshed and happy! Greetings from the middle of Germany! Miriam
Hi Marissa, I have enjoyed your videos so much and wish you rest and comfort during this holiday season. Enjoy the break. Hope to see you in the New Year!
I've found your videos so useful to make the shift to a better life and downsize our home. As a super pro minimalist, I hope you strip out the stuff you don't need and chase all the things that bring you joy.
Thank you for this video and your being so open and honest. Take all the time you and your family need. I guess many of us will be here whenever you will decide to come back, and will be thinking about you, wishing you all the best! Take care, enjoy the holiday's season and let's hope for a beatiful weather, so enjoying also time with your family will be an even great blessing! Cheers for your husband to have decided to take a much deserved break, and whenever ready, wishing for him the best opportunities to come, that will go along with your family needs and wants! A big hug from Poland!

I am new. Like two weeks into learning about minimalism and Marissa's journey. I totally agree with what you wrote to her.
Yes. I agree as well. I felt as though you were speaking directly to me. It was a very good experience for me. And when you brought "hub" aboard, I appreciated that as well. I like him too. A very encouraging blog.
Your videos inspire. Please keep on inspiring 👍🏾👍🏾
God Bless your next adventure! Thank you for sharing via your UA-cam channel.
Thanks for taking care of yourself. Will miss your beautiful personality, authenticity with no equal. Happy holidays!
Best of luck in the job search! And have a wonderful holiday season ❤
One bit of unsolicited advice, don't fall prey to click bait. Your channel is too good for those influencer games. You're taking a break not quitting. And I for one am very glad you'll be back.
I was going to say the same on click bait... it’s just not necessary.
I love how you said the honest and open thing in such an affirming way. I agree and I think that it is always best to simply stay true to who you are and your intentions.
Thinking the same thing
Wise and good words!
So sorry to hear about your husband's job loss. So happy your efforts and lifestyle changes are giving you the time to take a breath and reassess. We look forward to good news and sharing your journey.

Yes! It feels good to not feel scared about the future after job loss…hugs, my friend! 🤗

He just gives me such a calm peaceful feeling, I adore him! Thank you for the positivity and love, take care of yourself and see you soon.
Thank you and take care. ❤️
