In our historic 180th Episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast, Julie and I talk about Discovering our Homestead in Star Prairie, Wisconsin.  We have named our new homestead Eagle’s Ridge after the significant slope (50-foot slope) to the Apple River and the number of eagles we see from our property. In this podcast, we tell the story and walk you through the craziness of 2020 and discovering our homestead!

Hall of Heroes – Gratitude

hall of heroes, gratitude, practicing gratitude quote

“It’s hard to have a bad day when you START your day with gratitude.”

As part of intentionally Practicing Gratitude, I am starting this podcast episode by recognizing some folks who have been active on Small Scale Life.

These folks have reached the Hall of Heroes for this episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast: 

  • Dan and Sue for all their work over the past few months working at Eagle’s Ridge. 
  • Mr. Tactical Jay and Michael Bell for being good friends.
  • Sparky John for his positivity and his humor….maybe.
  • Our new neighbors Greg, Clay, Jay, Jeff and Rick. We can’t forget Millie and Abbey too!
  • The new network we are developing in Western Wisconsin as we discover our homestead and build Eagle’s Ridge!

Thank all of you for listening to this podcast episode, and if you want a shout out in our next Hall of Heroes, get active and participate on Small Scale Life.

What are you grateful for?  Maybe you should tell that person or that organization (or favorite podcaster).  Give it a try!
