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 episode of 'The Simple Lives We Live,' I interview my aunt and Godmother, Dee Brown, who shares her life story over the course of nearly nine decades. Dee recounts growing up in a large family in Beach, North Dakota, recalling memories of chores on the farm, sibling relationships, and the hardships faced after the death of her mother. She reflects on her experiences in nursing school, meeting and marrying her husband Chuck, and life as a Navy wife, which included living in diverse places like Okinawa. Dee also speaks about raising her children, dealing with personal losses, and the lessons she learned from her mother that helped her navigate life. The interview delves into the importance of family, resilience, and faith, providing a rich tapestry of stories about love, loss, and the simple yet profound moments that define a life well-lived.
