Some things never go out of style, and living a gracious life is one of them. For me, living a simple life and a lifestyle of graciousness goes hand in hand. Living in the south, a gracious life not only seems to be the norm, but our mama’s all made sure we knew the art and intricacies of applying them every chance we got. Join me on the porch and learn more about how to add a bit of graciousness to your simple life. It may just be one of the best things you can do for yourself and others.

Faith & a Simple Life

A comfortable faith comes from a place of trust, familiarity, and regular practice. Just as when you first begin getting to know someone new, your relationship goes through a bit of awkwardness and uncertainty. But once you spend more time with that person and begin to share experiences, the comfort level when you are around them increases.

In this episode, we will discuss how to reach a place of comfort, find out how to deal with the discomfort we may experience, and, if you are willing, accept the challenge to bring a deeper level of comfort to your faith.

Here in the south, and I imagine it’s the same in other parts of the world, we have a deep-seated connection to food. Whether it be meals served at home, packed in a basket to create a picnic, or cakes and cookies made for a bake sale, we love our food.

And many of our traditions revolve around food. But there is one tradition that just makes it even more fun, and that is the tradition of a Pass It On Plate. Listen in to learn what a Pass It On Plate is, and how it is used not only food as a gift, but also as a connection of hearts, homes, and communities.

As the air cools and the days grow shorter, we find ourselves in the midst of one of the coziest times of the year—fall. It’s a season that invites us to slow down, gather with loved ones, and enjoy the comfort that only this time of year brings. Listen in as we dive into the heart of that comfort: from the emotional and scientific pull of comfort foods to simple activities that bring us together during this season. Fall comfort isn’t just about what’s on our plate—it’s about the people we’re with and the warmth we create, inside and out.

The changing of the seasons, whether natural or in life, is inevitable. It’s how we move through these seasons that make a difference in our lives. And we have a choice. We can fight the changes, kicking and screaming, or embrace them with a comfortable level of acceptance. Listen in as we talk about how to recognize the changes as they come, the best way to make the transition with grace, faith, and purpose.

We all have lessons to learn in life. Some are big and only happen once or twice in our lifetime. Some are pop quizzes which we never saw coming. And others are small, almost imperceptible, which happen as a learn as you go lesson.

But some lessons come wrapped in unusual packaging with a unique delivery system. And not too long ago, I found myself in class learning more about a subject I don’t really think much about.

Tedium. That boring, frustrating, and irritating – but inspiring, beautiful and soothing part of life we all have to deal with from time to time. And of all the places I could learn more about it was sitting at my bead weaving loom.

Faith & a Simple Life

It’s fairly easy to visit with a single friend from time to time, and occasionally a neighbor will drop by. But groups? I’m going to be honest – they are a little harder to come by. Whether they are steeped in the whirlwind of a hectic lifestyle, or comfortably settled in to living simply, most everyone is busy these days. It gets difficult to find the time to have lunch with a friend, much less to join a group.

Still, being a part of a group has some great benefits. Whether it be for a specific function, or just an enjoyable visit, being a part of a group is a great way to celebrate a piece of living a simple life.
