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.
