Description

What did past generations know that modern society has forgotten?Our grandparents had the satisfaction of making do with what they had (even when it was nothing fancy) versus our modern idea of a new $1,000 phone every year and replacement appliances every few years.Follow the story of a boy named Thurman, who went to a 1-room schoolhouse & had to quit school in 9th grade to make sure his family could eat and worked multiple blue collar jobs to make sure his kids had a better life. And Dorothy, a grandmom who lived to be 98 and was still active, fearless, and connected to her large family right up until the end. What shaped Thurman and Dorothy's character? What could they teach us about being content yet working hard and fearlessly toward our goals? This Episode Sponsored by:True Leaf Market has the best food storage system I’ve ever used.

Are you longing to simplify things just a little, amidst the crazy, loud, distracting clutter of life? That's where I was a few years ago, when my family started on this crazy ride toward simplifying things. Since "simple" is almost never synonymous with "easy," I was pretty much a failure at everything I tried. But along the way I learned that it's not only okay, but actually GOOD that simple joys require hard work. So I'm here to be your Encouragement Mentor in this sometimes difficult effort to simplify. Because we can do this, guys. Together.
