Revising our lives from time to time can have numerous benefits, including:
Clarity: Revising our lives helps us gain clarity about our goals, aspirations, and priorities. We can evaluate whether we are on the right track, and if not, we can make adjustments to align our lives with our values and aspirations.
Growth: By revising our lives, we can identify areas where we need to grow and develop. This can help us become more self-aware, learn new skills, and acquire new knowledge. In turn, this can lead to personal and professional growth.

2022-08-2233 minGrounded in the Middle.How do you define your "Status?"Have you ever thought about your status in life? Maybe you are working towards a particular status, but do you perhaps have blinders on that might keep you from seeing what you may be leaving behind? Tune in to hear some thoughts around what I've learned about "status" over the past 20 years and how sometimes we have good intentions that when we eventually get to where we once used to be, it isn't a good fit anymore.

Grounded in the Middle.Life is short. Take the trip. Buy the shoes. Eat the Cake!How many of you have taken a trip this year? How much planning did you do ahead of time? Did you feel a bit relieved once you hit the road, kind of like you had just got a plan off the ground? Today I'm going to be talking about the benefits of not planning out every single detail of a trip and how maybe an impromptu trip may just be the next trip you need to take!

Grounded in the Middle.Building Endurance and Becoming Who You Are Meant to Be.Lately I have found myself reflecting on our garden and the endurance it has given me. For the past three years, we prepared the soil, planted the seeds, weeded occasionally waiting to harvest what grew. But to be honest, there was a lot of belly aching when it came to the garden always producing what seemed like a lot of weeds rather than produce.
I would comment on how maybe we should be using weed killer, which we still don’t, or that maybe we need to change our approach to taming the weeds so that we weren’t having to b...

I hope this finds you well!

Have you ever wondered what people did with their garbage before trash collecting became a thing? Listen in to learn what I have found out on the property, in our attic, in the cemetery, and in the barn and just outside our dining room door!

2022-06-1325 minGrounded in the Middle.Falling shortHave you ever felt like you have fallen short? Sometimes we have control well sometimes we don’t when it comes to not hitting the mark. In today’s episode I will be sharing how I have fallen short when I could’ve avoided it and then how I have fallen short but it was out of my control. From these experiences and more, ultimately I have learned that by falling short we can fall forward in Toto growth during some of those difficult seasons and experiences.

2022-05-2312 minGrounded in the Middle.Building Your Mental StrengthHave you ever trained for a 5k or another physically demanding task? It takes a lot of intention and planning from paying for a gym membership, making it to the gym, planning your menus of meals for the week, and grocery shopping. Now let me ask you this. When is the last time you spent some time strengthening your mind? In today's podcast I'm going to be sharing an event I went to that got me thinking about our mindset and how it just might be time to spend some time on building mental strength.

Can you think of a time when you have shown someone grace? How about a time when someone else has shown you grace? It isn’t always easy to give grace, however, I think we find it a bit easier to receive it and I think that is because we are unaware of other’s intentions but full...
2022-04-2529 minGrounded in the Middle.Choose to Live NowWell hello friend!
While things may seem smooth sailing out here in the middle (of nowhere) I want to be transparent with you always in sharing that we more or less function by finding a balance between limping and thriving at the same time.
There is hardly anything at all perfect-It's messy, but wouldn't you know that we wouldn't be where we are today had we not had a really big interruption 10 years ago when I was unexpectantly placed on full time bedrest at the hospital because I was having contractions at just 24 weeks. Today I share a little bit...

I feel like I say this a lot, but I honestly feel like time is flying by quickly this year. Where is it going? How do you celebrate the holiday? We are going to be going to church and enjoying a breakfast afterwards as a congregation and then we will be spending time with our family at a restaurant we’ve been going to since we were little. It’s in an old schoolhouse and they use the main classroom space as the dining room, and...

Here in the middle, we have had warm and sunny days with temps in the 70’s as well as overnight temperatures in the teens and snow showers. The fields have begun to turn a deep green allowing for the perfectly straight rows to be noticed when passing by. While in limbo as to what to wear for the day or what to leave the thermostat on, the early signs of spring such as our daffodils, serve as a reminder that growth occurs when we are pe...

Two Sundays ago, I had finally taken the time to plan out everything that needed accomplished all to have it pushed to the back burner when I woke up sick on Monday. I have to admit I wasn’t completely surprised because I swear every time, I try to get myself together, something disrupts what I have planned leaving me to feel behind and a bit overwhelmed.

2022-03-1313 minGrounded in the Middle.Don't Wish You Would Have!How many of you are noticing signs of spring? Ove the past five years of living out here in the middle, I’ve tuned in a bit more each year to the change of seasons and over the past week and a half, I have noticed the earliest signs of spring. We’ve woke to geese on the pond, many squirrels bounding through the yard and up our walnut and maple trees, we’ve heard the woodpeckers and seen our front yard dotted with robins, but my most favorite sign of all are the bright green tips of our flower...

Now how many of you have taken a family photo and when you look at it, you think of how many times it took to get everyone looking and smiling at the same time? Or maybe there were other circumstances and hurdles that stood in your way and by golly you were determined that family photo was going to happen because of the hours spent coordinating outfits, styling hair, polishing nails, all the while trying not to break a sweat and ruin your ma...

2022-02-1414 minGrounded in the Middle.Changing the NarrativeHave you ever gone to a chain restaurant before and it wasn’t very good? Maybe you tried it a second time and went to a different location, but it wasn’t any better? I’m guessing, unless you’re really forgiving and optimistic, you likely never returned to the chain restaurant again.
So often we take our experiences we have in life and let it dictate their place in our lives in the future. Bad restaurant= you’ll never eat there again. Relationship with someone goes sour= we distance ourselves with the intent of severing the relationshi...
2022-02-0711 minGrounded in the Middle.Delighting in the UnexpectedHave any of you made any goals for cleaning out the basement or maybe that pesky linen closet where more than linens are crammed and is likely where that missing birthday present you hid was swallowed up. Or maybe it’s time to purge and organize the dreaded Tupperware cupboard that has turned into a daily game of Jenga? While I have tried to become more cognizant about what I hold on to and what I buy, I’m still no Marie Condo and likely never will because I have a thing for collecting what I call “roadside finds.” However...
2022-01-3115 minGrounded in the Middle.Betty WhiteHi there! And welcome back to another episode of grounded in the middle. Today I have a confession to make. When I was about 13 years old, I became a Golden Girls fan and I believe it’s when I figured out I was in fact a bit of an old soul. I still remember waking up in a hotel room while vacationing with my family on my birthday and turning on the Golden Girls in the morning. My dad gave me the hardest time about watching the show and I really couldn’t ever explain why I liked it. I jus...

During the break, my husband, Aaron shared with me from an account on Instagram, @farmranchlife, that said, “You wouldn’t plant a seed and then dig it up every few minutes to see if it had grown. So why do you keep questioning yourself, your hard work and your decisions? Have patience, stop over thinking and keep watering...

I don’t always say it every year, but this month has gone by considerably faster than years past. Maybe it’s because with every year that passes our lives are different than the previous or that our Calendars are a little more or less full. I’m not sure, but I’m to the point where there are a few more special holiday traditions I’d like to squeeze in before Christmas day.

This morning I asked my children in carline what I should share about on the podcast and my son belted out from the back seat, “why don’t you write about all the unfinished projects around the house, like the bathroom upstairs. “He then went on to list the other things that need to be addressed around our 184-year-old house. I’ll be honest with you. I was a little peeved that he brought up the to-do-list that early in the morning and the way he said it felt l...
2021-12-0611 minGrounded in the Middle.The Guideposts in Our LivesI know the holidays are branded as the happiest time of the year, but for many people, it’s one of the most difficult. For some, holidays serve as permeant place cards within their year found on every wall calendar to phone calendar making it nearly impossible to completely avoid. Not to mention how stores these days seem to have the next holiday retail items up for sale before the current holiday has even arrived. These written and visual benchmarks of where we are within the year can be bittersweet, but what if we started taking note of the guideposts th...

For a matter of fact, I have found that with the excitement to pull out the red and green I have a felt more of a shift in my focus on our family. From reminiscing of those warm summer days together, to taking inventory of what our children have grown out of so quickly and what they will need for the...

Do you ever think about your future self? When I was younger I thought about my future self all the time, but at some point in adulthood I quit thinking about what I wanted to do in the future and I have found myself in a valley trying to climb my way up to where I would like to be. This time though, I want the climb to be different. I want to take what I have learned over the past few years, ditch the falsities I have...
2021-11-1513 minGrounded in the Middle.Finding Thanksgiving Within this YearWith November here and Thanksgiving only week’s away I have began to reflect and take inventory on all the fun we’ve had this summer but also how much we have to be thankful for this year being able to kind of get back to some normalcy. One thing that stands out to me from this summer is our family vacation to the outer banks now this trip was extra special because we were able to make a stop at a historic home.

With the holidays quickly approaching, gathering with friends and family is an innate thing to do but what if we were more intentional about gathering throughout the year and not just at the holiday? And what if you even gathered with people whom you’ve never met before?

Do you ever find yourself getting lost in the simplicity of the past? You know the “good old days” before responsibility came into view or how about all those TV shows you watched repeatedly and could probably still recite lines from today?

In 2017, I no longer could ignore this feeling that it was time for us to move. But where?

In this episode, I'll share the events that led us out here to the middle (of nowhere) where we have gained a renewed sense of self and a life well lived.
