The Simple Lives We Live
Some of the most extraordinary stories don't come from celebrities, politicians, or history books. They come from everyday people. Your neighbor, your grandmother, the man who runs the corner store, or the woman sitting next to you at church. Everyone has a story worth telling on the simple lives we live.
We sit down with ordinary people to uncover the extraordinary lives they've lived, stories of love and family of loss and heartache of perseverance, joy, and the simple moments that make us who we are. These conversations remind us that life's greatest lessons often come from those we least expect. So please join me each week as we capture voices and memories that deserve to be heard and remembered.
Because the truth is ordinary people live the most extraordinary lives.
The Simple Lives We Live
Cheryl Ross
In this episode of 'The Simple Lives We Live,' I interview my mom, Cheryl Ross, about her life experiences, from growing up in a large family of 13 on a farm and then in town, to the challenges and cherished moments of raising her own five children. The conversation delves into the influence of my grandparents, the hardships faced after the loss of her father, and the invaluable lessons of resilience, faith, and love. My mom reflects on the traditions and values that shaped her, including the importance of family, the joy in simple living, and the profound impact of her faith. She also shares memories of her wedding, early married life, and how she has adapted to the changes and challenges of growing older. The podcast concludes with heartfelt insights on motherhood, personal growth, and the enduring power of faith.
