The Simple Lives We Live
Some of the most extraordinary stories don't come from celebrities 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.
On The Simple Lives We Live, we sit down with ordinary people to uncover the beautiful, hard, faithful, and fleeting moments that shaped their lives. Stories of love and loss. Of grit and grace. Of family, faith, and the simple days we didn't know we'd one day miss.
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.

In this heartwarming episode of 'The Simple Lives We Live,' I had an amazing conversation with 96-year-old Ethel Kippley about her extraordinary life journey. Ethel shares vivid memories from her childhood, including growing up on a farm, enduring the hardships of the Great Depression, and her adventures after high school. She recounts treasured family traditions, community events, and milestones like World War II and the assassination of JFK. Reflecting on the importance of family, resilience, and a positive outlook, Ethel also discusses her work experiences, marriage, and the profound influence of her parents. With so much wisdom, this interview offers a rich tapestry of life lessons and historical perspectives.
